There was another side of radical 90s advertising that was like "this product Is totally unhinged & crazy". Lots of videogame ads were like that https://youtu.be/HCQRcinZYH8
Ironically enough, his commercials were a lot better than the shit that they do nowadays.
"Hold my honeycomb." WERE THEY TRYING TO RIP OFF HOLD MY BEER? THAT WAS OLD, EVEN IN 2018!
Look all I'm saying is they saw the coocoo for coconut, bird and was like what if we just actually gave him Cobain and made him a monster that would scare children.
Tbh I think bithe the honey comb kid a Bernard the kid raised by bees where more well thought out that this abomination

Every animal mascot back then was either Cool or Completely Batshit
To me radical was more like watching some kid do a sick stunt not unhinged weirdness.
To me this is honestly closer to the gross out side of the 89s than the radical side
It's why I compare it more to gross out cause it's trying to illicit an immediate strong visceral reaction to make it stick in your head.
I remember Nintendo got really weird with its gsme cube advertisements as well as sega being weird with rhe Saturn
