80's Corner

Back in the 1980's, Dominoes Pizza had a "mascot" of sorts in it's commercials called "The Noid." The Noid was evil, and would "attack" delivery pizza and make it soggy, and disgusting. But, Dominoes apparently was able to do what other pizza places were unable to do, and that was to "avoid the Noid!"

As with some other commercials in the 1980's, the Noid was a clay-mation figure. These commercials were marginally funny. The Noid was a pretty successful marketing campaign, and the Noid was even featured in a Nintendo Entertainment System game ... crazy stuff.

I had forgotten it was for Domino's pizza, but remembered the stupid video game.

Oh too funny. I did not know there was a video game with the Noid in it, but my brother and I nicknamed my youngest brother The Noid. We even made up a song about it once on a road trip. good times. :P

I totally remember this. I remember all of your 80's things. I feel old. There are now adults who were BORN in the 80's.

In college, we once stole a friend's stuffed animal and took pictures of it in compromising positions with other stuffed animals.

The Noid was by far the best co-conspirator. Probably for its permanent orgasm face.
