The Encyclopedia Britannica Kid

If you were watching TV anytime from 1988-1993, you probably remember this kid. His name is Donavan Freberg, and he was the ’star’ of an extremely annoying series of Encyclopedia Britannica commercials. Those commercials bugged the hell out of me.

What’s he doing now you ask? He’s a blogger, of course. He runs at least 3 blogs, one being an amateur porn blog.

If you want to stroll down memory lane, or if you’ve never seen the TV spots, and need proof he was annoying, watch this commercial.
