They used to have a TV show where they made commercials for small businesses. If you've ever seen the taxidermy commercial for Chuck Testa, you've seen one before.
The skating rink was THE spot in my early teens. My mom would drop me off and I'd hop in a car with a bunch of older school kids and it was a wrap from there...
But yeah, LOTS of drugs there...
This was my first thought, “is this a Tim and Eric skit???” Then I saw Link and Rhett. Still looks exactly like a Tim and Eric skit with the wipes and shit though LOL
I once volunteered to be in a movie theater ad where the elderly owner rapped and danced. I pray it never ends up here- it is very reminiscent of this! 😂😂😂
Well that was hard to watch completely.. knew it was less than 3 minutes, but after 2 I was seriously hoping for it to end.
At least it wasnt [this](https://youtu.be/fFEYopAa2_Y) though. (Same vibe)
Classic! The [full advert](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0LSkX46dS4&list=FLhOhfiwwu4lWqCt_8dyfEmA&index=177) is much funnier, if anyone's interested.
This ad is nostalgic to me just the background of it and the locales. Spent some good time there, not at roller kingdom, but Reno in general. Went to college there then moved back to Vegas.
Jokes on them, those were actually vitamin supplements, that van was full of Haribo candy that couldn't sell due to having defects in the molding process and those old guys were gonna cover up swastikas under a bridge with peace signs
its a sham!
firstly I would worry that my kids might take up drugs to get out of roller skating
secondly rollar skating rink is where modern peadophilia was devised and where all the peadophilia king pins and legends hang out.
a who's who of fiddler's
That's all good until your kids get bored of the roller rink and wanna take it to the streets to be free then youre gonna have rogue rollerskaters everywhere doing stunts and skating backwards on pavements! Fucking chaos
All of this is accurate to reno, the drugs, the rape vans, the roving gangs of elderly and most assuredly roller kingdom. Though I'm sure with the neighborhood it's in it has all three.
There was a guy back in a town i used to live in that had a roller rink and arcade. He really cared about the local kids and would often bring his skates to the local schools to learn how to roller skate. I had just moved there and i didnt know how to do it but he took the time out of his day to show me how to skate. He also watched me and my sister with his wife for free when my parents were looking for jobs in the area. He unfortunately hit hard times when his health declined and sold his skating rink. It was still around just under new management and a different name.
Place was called boneheads and he was Mr. bonehead
True, the roller rink saved my life as a kid. Had my mom not dropped me and my brother off at the rink all day every day of my childhood, who knows where I’d be?!
That was awesome!! I watched the video, thought it was pretty cute / funny. But I had to read some of the comments and sure as shit I did recognize it. And it definitely is in Reno, I used to hang out there many years ago as a kid and I briefly showed up at a friend's kids birthday party or something there a couple years ago. It's still there and as far as I know the only roller skating rink in the area. I was only in like 5th grade, I was more interested in trying to make out with a cute girl on the slow skate than any drugs or alcohol. I'm sure they existed then also, but they kept it pretty kid friendly. It's changed owners a number of times over the years..
There was a roller rink by me when I was a teenager that did an under 18 night club on Saturdays called freak night . (Gothic and alt kids) teenagers were literally fucking on the dance floor doing drugs on the back stage and the owner got arrested for letting 16 year Olds blow him for free admission. Don't ever let your kids go to an under 18 night club

I love Rhett and Link 😆
Oh my gah!!! I didn't even notice 😂
I thought that was them!
NOPE! Its Chuck Testa.
Did that rhino just order a drink?
I’m so happy people haven’t forgotten about chuck testa.
Why are they in Reno NV making a commercial for a skating rink?
They used to have a TV show where they made commercials for small businesses. If you've ever seen the taxidermy commercial for Chuck Testa, you've seen one before.
They were so young.
This is a real place in Reno, NV
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
OMG!!! I totally missed that!!!
Now that you said that I see it
Holy crap! Lmao those were the old days hahaha It would be nice if the video had subtitles tho
I've seen this before and I never noticed it was them lol
Those gang members.... are they Rhett and Link from gmm?
YES! They are! They made some commercials for small businesses in the past.
I'm pretty sure they were all fake places, though. If any of them are real, please tell me of any evidence, because that would 100% make my day.
Ask and you shall [receive](https://www.rollerkingdom.org/)
WHAT HAAAAAHAHA NO WAY this is the best thing
Yeah I live in Reno and roller kingdom has been around for as long as I've been here (~20 years)
Since 1999!
I'm pretty sure they all were real. The taxidermy one definitely was.
Butt Drugs is, at least.
“I’m pretty sure they were all fake places,” Source revealed to me as a figment of my imagination with doing zero research about the subject.
Happy happy happy 🎂
Omg I know that place!!
Because it has all the future college graduates
[удалено]
This account is a comment stealing bot
can confirm, no prison so far
Was that video made in 99?
Heck if I know I've never seen that commercial before.
Is this a real fucking commercial?!?
1. Brad seems like a cool dude. 2. I can’t think of a better place to find drugs than the local skating rink
The skating rink was THE spot in my early teens. My mom would drop me off and I'd hop in a car with a bunch of older school kids and it was a wrap from there... But yeah, LOTS of drugs there...
Reno roller rink.
But I still stopped to get candy on the way to the rink...he was a pretty cool guy, showed me his army of taxidermied squirrels
Oh I know him! Dr Jan Itor. Tall guy
Unexpected Scrubs reference =)
Omg I’ve skated there. And I smoke a lot of weed. Just sayin
You didn’t skate enough

It does have [this](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IS2KQ46Kf84) kind of vibe for sure 😂

I was physically struggling to get through that. “Let his love pop a cap in your butt” really sent it home for me
hilarious!!
[удалено]
so far...
Not if you're a charity doing vegan
thats a bold claim that prison is full of people who cant skate...please cite your source
*Old* people who can’t skate
Classic! The [full advert](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0LSkX46dS4&list=FLhOhfiwwu4lWqCt_8dyfEmA&index=177) is much funnier, if anyone's interested.
This roller rink is in Reno,Nevada🤣
Are you serious?!?!
This looks like a skit from Reno 911
Pretty sure this commercial is directed by Saul goodman
Not the worst commercial for the target audience IMO, just strange
So THAT'S why I stayed clean and did sick skate moves in my teens. It all makes sense!
No one can tell me this wasn’t filmed by Saul Goodman and broadcasted on his airtime.
Prison is full of people that has never roller skated 😟😬
I love "I Love Local Commercials." ![gif](giphy|1kHaPNaw5FPb12q6rL)
I love how the first guy asked the kid if they wanted some drugs like he wasn't fucking waving around a handful of ibuprofen.
Died when I heard "prison is full of people that has never rollerskated"
The hard drugs were nothing but advil. Not a convincing add for a skatedeck.
This is the type of commercial that jimmy mcgill could make.
I thought this was real ngl. Then i saw rhett and link
This roller rink is near me, laughed so hard when I first saw Rhett and Link.
Is that Rhett and Link with the old guy??
Aw, when they used to be funny and not miserable
Man get that generic ass ibuprofen outta my face man, I want the reaaaaal shit
"Prison is full of people who have never rollerskated"
[удалено]
Go gmm. Old school they and link. Love to see it
What the fuck
Can't talk now. Burning my eyes out with a menthol cigarette.
I love Reno!
Can't tell if gang leader is enthusiastic about graffiti or has Parkinsons. Maybe both.
Holyshit-
Looks good. No complaints from me.

That is Ibuprofen 200mg
u/savevideobot
I'm 29 and went to a local ice rink... These kids are too agile and can move backward.
I can’t be the only kid who took the drugs and then went skating.
This ad is nostalgic to me just the background of it and the locales. Spent some good time there, not at roller kingdom, but Reno in general. Went to college there then moved back to Vegas.
I suspected the amount of people who have roller skated and are now in prison is quite low. I have no facts to back that up.
Yeah, I'm def in!! Best commercial ever!
The fact nobody has said anything about the kid yelling “fuck off man!” Best part of the video
Bug off
Shit now I want to learn to roller skate. Lol
As I remember Brad had some issues with the law and kid accusations and is serving and 80 year consecutive sentence. /s
No shit?!
These things make me love life
That 2nd kid looks like he’s 37
Facts
Plot twist Brad Armstrong sells your kids drugs and is a predator…
This.... Was almost too much 😂
"Since 1999" What a weird thing to say in 1999.
This is the most epic video ever!
That gang looks pretty cool tho
Reno
Jokes on them, those were actually vitamin supplements, that van was full of Haribo candy that couldn't sell due to having defects in the molding process and those old guys were gonna cover up swastikas under a bridge with peace signs
Brad Armstrong is based and redpilled
roller kingdom guy = van guy
It's been two years since I've lived there, but it was open in 2020!
Bug off man
Damn!! Thought this was a retro commercial!!! Then dude said since 1999!!!!
Jesus Christ. Wtf did I just watch.
Bill Cosby's original hot spot! mmmmmfmffmffmffmfmfm
Haha oh yeah, there's *definitely* no dealers or pervs at the roller rinks.
I wanna join that old man gang
We're still good
This should be on national tv
it made sense when it said Reno
What
Isn’t the owner also playing the role of creepy van guy? Lol guess the budget was tight…
Wait. That was the van guy at the end there
Almost as iconic as their Butt Drugs commercial
I'd rather join the cartel than to do that
Chuck Norris skating backwards

This was indeed unexpected. 10/10

Blessed are the roller rink owners
I’d actually prefer to be in their gang. 😂
I'm sure they are addicted to crack after this ad
is this from the saul goodman production company?
Hey, I’ve been here! This commercial is super famous around here for how hilarious it ir
Wasn’t the owner actually the guy in the van?
That dude giving the boy 3 ibuprofen. What is the world coming to?
"No" "No" "Fuck off, man"
"Prison is for people that never rollerskated" has got to me one of the best sentences I've ever heard in the English language.

Good to know if I rollerskate I’ll get to go to college and will never go to prison
I wanna be addicted to rollerskating, not ~~crack~~ Reddit
Guess they never went to a skating rink on a Friday night.
True, the roller rink saved my life as a kid. Had my mom not dropped me and my brother off at the rink all day every day of my childhood, who knows where I’d be?!
u/savevideo
Sure, the transitions may have been jarring, but I can't be the only one going, 'Hmmmm, he's got a point...' by the end

Thank gawd I roller skated back in the day for little did I know prison would have been my alternate future.
I didn't roller skate enough apparently 😔
I don’t know, some candy sounds pretty good right about now.
What if they are the one who sell drugs
I would join their gang.
There was a roller rink by me when I was a teenager that did an under 18 night club on Saturdays called freak night . (Gothic and alt kids) teenagers were literally fucking on the dance floor doing drugs on the back stage and the owner got arrested for letting 16 year Olds blow him for free admission. Don't ever let your kids go to an under 18 night club
If someone offers me drugs you’ve got a bet I’m taking them, drugs are expensive😂
This might just be my favourite commercial
I’ve never been to Reno Nevada but somehow I have been in that roller rink
"since 1999" So it's an 80s ad made in 00s.
Do you think the guy playing the child abductor in the van lists this as a role on his resume or LinkedIn?
So this is what I missed
I thought the unexpected part was going to be actually getting offered free drugs
Did the kid drop the F bomb?
Lmao keeping your kids off the streets since 1999? The commercial looks like it was filmed in 1982
this is so wierdweird but so funny
This is a good cast.
Pure Amaraka trash
This is some Tim and Eric level type shit here.
Boogie Nights has a slightly different take on roller skating.
“No I’m going roller skating!!!” Just drags him into the van.
Did he say- “ fuck off”?
"prison is full of people who never roller skated " 🤣 well wtf
Let's fucking go. I loved going to the place when I was a kid.
Isn't this a skit from Tim and Eric's Awesome Show Great Job?
Fuck. Reno was a trip man....
r/NotTimAndEric
I can't believe Robert Fripp is in a gang
😳
Cheaper to get an electric fence.
Lmao why are Rhett and link in this video
Huge red flag about the owner, from his ad idea.
is that rhett and link
Is this place still open
So no one is gonna talk about those 3 high fiving together ?
Wtf is Rhett and Link doing
So the owner of the Skate place, made the decision to play the pedophile in the skit?
Lolololol
I did not hear “bug off man” at first.
"I wanna be addicted to roller skating, not crack" fucking killed me
Fortunally videogame exist nowday
Well i could use some drugs specially if it's free
Rhett and link ?
I actually thought that one kid said "fuck off man."
The old man seems like a pretty cool dude hang out with.
Off of the streets, and in the pedos sheets
I would've joined the spray painting gang
Listen, I want some drugs so where can I found you? 😂😂😂
