Mr. Funercise was a public service announcement broadcast around 1994 in the United States. Sponsored by Education is Fun, the ad attempted to promote physical activity to children in an era when video games and sitting around the PC were becoming more and more popular.
The PSA features two kids who are sitting at their PC playing a video game. A man appears on the screen, saying he's from "The Land Of Healthy Fun" and sucks the kids into the computer. "Mr. Funercise" as the man becomes known tries to extoll the values of living a healthy life, specifically exercise, eating right, and anger management.
