RadioShack might have made this year's best Super Bowl commercial, and they did it by laughing at themselves.


The US electronics outlet's Super Bowl spot, 'The Phone Call', admits what its customers have known for a while — the store is stuck in the past.

In the clip, the '80s call and "want their store back", as RadioShack employees watch helplessly while legions of '80s pop culture icons — including Hulk Hogan, Chucky and ALF — ransack the premises, stealing VHS players and bulky computer monitors.


Naturally, the ad ends with a promise that the store is turning over a new leaf and entering the 21st century. But we sure did appreciate this look back at the past.
