Dominios stopped that particular ad campaign and icon around 1990 or so. Ten years is a little too much, even for The Simpsons.
The Noid . . . as if anyone would remember this?

I like the more obscure references anyway

Has it really been 10 years? Good Lord......
i got it, you got it, everyone else in here got it....whats the problem?.....marge used it as a ref. in a previous episode....should we feel bad if someones too clueless to get the ref. should we cater to the ignorant?.....should they have used domino's newer, lamer, and more unrecognizable mascot Andy?
"oh bitch bitch bitch!"
To quote something appropo:
"Sure, we could make things more challenging, but then the dumber students would be in here complaining, furrowing their foreheads in a vain attempt to understand ..."

which means the Noid would be in desperate need of work right about now

I remembered it. And I laughed HARD. I am 21. I think it was a great reference.

And that's why they also satirized 50s style Sci-Fi movies, which are 40-50 years old. And Mrs. Hamster was dressed like Jackie Kennedy was on 11/22/63, the day JFK was assassinated, 38 years ago.

Not only did I remember the Noid, I STILL have one of those Noid toys with the suction cups on the hands for hanging in a car window! I always loved the little guy, even though I can't stand pizza (maybe that was why?), and loved the reference.

I remember the Noid quite well.
Remember the NES game Avoid the Noid?

No! Sounds like a great kitsch title to own, though. I was waiting for my friend to return a faulty video game last night and I noticed at the store they had *Virtual Kasparov* and *VIP*, both delightfully kitschy licenses, IMHO. I would have bought *Knight Rider* if I'd owned an NES in the late eighties.

How could anyone forget the ET video game for Atari. The game so bad that Atari actually had to bury thousands of copies in a land fill due to the loss.

I bet a lot of people won;t remember the game based on _Survivor_ for the Mac, MacAddict not only gave it the coveted "Blech!" rating, they also used just one small paragraph to tell everyone to avoid this hound.

The band, Journey had one too where you flew around as Steve Perry's head. how about "Kriss Kross: You make the video" on Sega CD. EGM had an issue a few months back that listed the 20 worst games of all time, it was hilarious. There was an Atari Jaguar game called "White Men Can't Jump" where you played street hoops. Apparently it spouted so called intercity catch phrases like, "Down street on the flip flop, time pants!". Sincerely, Little Girl

I remember seeing that one in the arcades.
Aw, Jeez-us. Obviously, you're not kidding. :) The stupid manufactured rap act, with the kids who wore their pants backwards? They're worse than Britney Spears. At least she's easy on the eyes.
Mmmmmm... Pie pants.
"Time pants." I like that.
I saw that at compusa the other day.

Oh my gaud! That game was so hard! I kept falling down the pit with the Resses Pieces in the bottom. I never could beat it. I played it till I had a joylessstick.
