city of angels (1998) is pretty much unwatched today, but it had a huge marketing push at the time (much of it aimed at the gen-x/'alternative' market), and its soundtrack went to #1 on the albums chart.

Godzilla with Matthew Broderick stands out in my mind for having fast-food (Taco Bell, right?) tie-ins that seemed innovative to me at the time.

Movie was godawful, as was broderick in it.

one of the most insane obscure memories i have from the 1980s involves the endless promotional commercials for this now completely forgotten movie called Leonard 6 (1987) starring Bill Cosby. they did a huge merchandising tie-in with Coca Cola and 'Ponderosa Steakhouse' (a defunct budget steakhouse, similar to 'Sizzler', if you remember those) that featured a miniature, pocket-sized James Bond style 'spy camera' that you could redeem with purchase.

i had zero interest in ever seeing the movie, and never did, but i wanted that camera badly. i dragged my family to 'Ponderosa' (which disgusted them) and got one. it was a worthless trinket that never functioned. i ended up throwing in the trash a few weeks later.

"for this now completely forgotten movie called Leonard 6 (1987) starring Bill Cosby"

Leonard Part Six is infamous for being bad. I don't think it really counts as forgotten in the same sense of most of the contenders ITT.

He was independently rich and Hollywood jews were IRATE that they couldn't own his gorgeous holds so they destroyed him.

A lot of 1910s-20s silent classics made hundreds of millions in revenue in today's amounts and were shown all over the place to huge audiences. They are now known from just a few surviving posters and news clippings. Many of the reels were lost forever in storage fires that hit the major studios. This became less of a problem after film material improved in the 30s onward.

I think I read that some of them we also have, but they're stored in formats where nobody really knows how they work any more and the equipment to actually play them is all long gone. We probably could get a lot of films back, but it's nobody's priority. Crazy to think how much digital shit we're going to lose too, "it's on the computer" seems so permanent but we're already at the point where running 90's software can be difficult.

What the fuck

The Subservient Chicken

Main article: The Subservient Chicken

This ad program was used in 2004 to introduce the TenderCrisp sandwich. The first appearance of the Subservient Chicken character was in a commercial called the Subservient Chicken Vest. The commercial was the first in a series of ads for the sandwich utilizing a line of viral marketing promotions by Crispin Porter + Bogusky for Burger King. In the ad, a man is sitting in his living room directing a person in a chicken suit to behave in any way he wants. The tag line was "Chicken the way you like it." After the success of the Subservient Chicken, Burger King used the character in several subsequent advertising campaigns. Other versions of the character appeared for various other promotions of new and limited time versions of the product.
