OLD CINDERELLA COMMERCIAL IS ALMOST AS FUNNY AS OLD WARRANT COMMERCIAL

 Friday, July 29th, 2011 at 12:00pm by

Our friend Bram Teitelman, a.k.a. “The Dude Who Runs Metal Insider,” deserves some kind of freakin’ award or something. Back in January, he brought this old commercial for the Warrant’s 900 number to our attention; now he’s unearthed the below video, of a not-yet-famous Cinderella for  Pat’s Chili’s Dogs in Folsom, PA. (Alas, Bram says Pat’s is no longer in business.) And if I find this commercial a little less amusing than I did the Warrant one, it’s only because at no point do Cinderella discuss fucking underage fans.

I always think of Cinderella as one of the all-around better bands of their era; their appearance aside, their music was always a notch above most of their peers, and they had the good sense to stop making records in the 90s and just live on as a legacy touring act. (In fact, they’re touring right now. You can get dates here.) So it makes sense that even the skeletons in their closet are slightly less horrid than those of the other hair metallers.

        I only like to eat chili dogs when they’re covered in onions, and someone around me is heavily smoking. I’m not even kidding. I’m only fourteen so also having a beer is out of the question……most of the time. I’m afraid that I’m on my way to being a really unhealthy adult.

    That ruled.

    You never see any footage of pre-Mercury records Cinderella, before they turfed their drummer and lead guitar player (Michael-Kelly Smith and Tony Destra, who formed Britny Fox after being let go).

      I always thought Cinderella were a really good band. Some of their lame shit I can write off as necessary for success….but they had some really great stuff too. Night songs is a solid song, as well as falling apart at the seems, not to mention the best ballad from the eighties – Dont know what you got til its gone.

    that was incredible. cheesy, but in an enjoyable way…

      The kid looks horrified, and as pure coincidence, it’s the only part of the video that I deemed ‘whack-able’.

    That was extra lulzy to me for obvious reasons.

    I reaaally hope I can find this as a ringtone somewhere

    Still nowhere near as ridiculous as the deathcore image.

    “I always think of Cinderella as one of the all-around better bands of their era”

    Really?! Because of one good album? No wonder you guys like Guns ‘N’ Roses so much. With, barely, two good albums they must be one of the all-around better bands of a decade!
