Dad: What do we have here?
Kid #1: It's Castle Grayskull! And it's mine!
Kid #2: Not so fast, Beastman!
Kid#1: He-man!
Announcer: You can pit He-man against Beastman playing for the power of Castle Grayskull. You have to put the castle together.
Dad: Beastman's escaping!
Kid#1: The throne, Dad! (Dad flicks a the throne switch to eject Beastman) Dad, you saved the castle!
Announcer: Castle Grayskull, from the Masters Of the Universe Collection. He-man and Beastman each sold seperately. From Mattel.

I love how they throw "you have to put the castle together" right in the middle of the commercial so quickly--while you're still absorbed with the drama of the impending fight over the "power of the castle" between He-man and Beastman-- so you don't even realize it.
Until, that is, you get your Castle Grayskull for Christmas and it's a box of 1,000 gray pieces with no action figures because they are sold seperately. And unfortunately, the Dad is sold seperately too, so you're putting that shit together by yourself.
Watch this commercial and dozens of other classics here.
