History: In 1989, Energizer introduced the Energizer Bunny as their mascot in a commercial for their batteries. The commercial started off with a spoof of the Duracell Bunny ad, as it featured other toy bunnies powering down because of the dead batteries, but only one toy bunny lasts longer than them. Just then, the Energizer Bunny shows up, as the announcer says that Energizer was "never invited to their playoffs", and that "no battery lasts longer than Energizer". Later on, the bunny would be featured in commercials for fake (or real) products that don't exist, like "Sitagin", "Chug-a-Cherry", etc. Afterwards, around 1993, rival company Supervolt tried to get the Energizer Bunny's battery, with famous characters such as King Kong, Wile E. Coyote, and Darth Vader, but they would fail at it, because they would sometimes use Supervolt batteries instead of Energizer's. (For King Kong, Ann shuts the window on Kong's foot, thus making him fall, and for the Wicked Witch, the smoke from her broom triggers a fire sprinkler system, thus making her melt.) Then around 1998, the bunny was updated with a new Advanced Formula Energizer battery, which made him go really fast.
This was only a part of the history of the Energizer Bunny, but let's focus on some commercials I'm looking for:
---ENERGIZER COMMERCIALS I'M LOOKING FOR---
Hostess Twinkies - The ad starts with 2 children telling their mother that they got straight A's again at school, and the mother says that it's "Twinkies Time". Then when she describes the Hostess Twinkies to the viewers, the Energizer Bunny interrupts by marching through the ad, and passing by a box of Hostess Twinkies at the end of the ad.
Purina Cat Chow - The ad starts of with a woman and her cat doing the "chow chow chow", in celebration of Purina Cat Chow, but the Energizer Bunny interrupts the ad by marching through it, which makes the woman and her cat confused by this.
Diet Pepsi (w/ Michael J. Fox) - I think that ad exists, and there's also information on Wikipedia about the Energizer Bunny crossing over with real products/icons, including Michael J. Fox for Diet Pepsi.
If anyone has one of these ads, please talk to me in the comments below.
