Our cable system got MTV about 8 months after it started (so that would put it at about Spring 1982). I think I watched it at least four hours a day, between 1982 and 1986 when I went off to college and lost interest.
There's a generation of animators and stop motion photographers who really got to shine doing stuff like this before computer graphics was really a thing. Its a shame these are mostly uncredited as far as I can see. This stuff is still interesting to look even years later.
It's sad they are. Some of them do post their ID's on TH-cam and Vimeo if you look for 'em. Here's a couple on Vimeo already! vimeo.com/138322965 vimeo.com/254181754 vimeo.com/238066856

just think of the countless hours these men and women spent making these bumpers. For the majority of these they didn't have software like today, and yet their surreal, original, and sometimes insane style penetrated multiple generations for a brief period of time.
And how long they had to spend to time them correctly. It must have been a nightmare to do back in the 80s given the technology and how it wasn’t as advanced as it is now.
I wasn't even alive when MTV was in its prime-time, and yet looking at some of these things still manages to evoke almost nostalgic-feeling emotions in me. I can almost envision in my mind what it was like back then.
I was a kid when mtv first landed.... Bro, you had to be there. There was no such thing as Internet, music CD's werent invented yet, social conscious was in a different place and no such thing as a dedicated music channel on tv. It was a most profound game-changer. The first 4 years of mtv were the most artistically creative images and sounds you ever seen and heard on television. In just those 4 years, MTV inspired more artist and musicians than any network on televsion. If I could go back, I would.
What happend to MTV? Why are they airing only bullshit since the millenium? I grew up watching MTV, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network in the mid 90s. The way these bloopers, bumpers and IDs were made is so creative and mind opening. That's insane how much effort and ambition is in here. It's so fun to watch. I'm so glad to be able to watch it here. Thank you so much for the upload!
Its not that it couldn't stay just videos.They started remote control.A couple other things.It was ok it was all music related or close tonit,part of pip culture.Then it became a lifestyle channel I guess.And a lifestyle that the fans who carried it their first 20 years or more weren't even interested in that's what I don't get.Then they made mtv2 for just music and maybe an extra or 2 is all but it quickly became just MTV the pop culture channel part 2.And it was a rock n roll station like old FM rock stations,then added a little crossover appeal with rock/country like Alannah Miles etc and pop music,pretty soon rap and hip hop.Well ok,i agreed with that,a core of rock n roll but widen the audience.Then the music booted out rock/country,booted hard rock or metal,then rock all together,until only rap and hip hop and quite a bit of pop remained.And the tv shows only appeal to rap hip hop and pip music pop culture type fans by the big share. Maybe MTV should consider like FM stations,a rock station,country, rap and hip hop,jazz and r and b station, & a station that features hall of fame inductions,MTV and movie bear,aetc. And consider a "classic" MTV,like a classic rock station on FM.Could be huge.How about a "Rock and Wrestling" like started with Wrestlemania and Cyndi Lauper etc?You never know!?
I thought I was the only one who Recorded the MTV ID identification logos. You should be given the Nobel prize for the furtherment of humanity. Great video. Thank you
These are awesome ... right out of my generation. How sad that MTV abandoned these types of ads. I am particularly thrilled that the one ending in "doodle doodle dee wubba wubba" (20:00) was on here. That one cracked me up the first time I saw it, and it still does today.
Oh, man, the memories... that's when they actually played MUSIC on that channel, and those ID's and bumpers were classics. Friday Night Video Fights, Head Bangers Ball, Martha Quinn, the Top 20 Video Countdown.... I WANT MY MTV!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have to agree. The music video concept had run its course by the late '90s...pretty much everything you could do in a music video had been done and redone. The network did what it had to do to remain relevant in the new millennium.
Wow, this brings me back to my teenage years in the early 90s. I remember many of these. MTV used to be super artistic and creative before they sold out to reality TV and BS.
Early 90's? Mtv was already not so great then. I saw it when it first hit the airwaves. The world was not ready for the first 4 years of uncensored mtv godliness. You had to be there... America had never seen anything like this..
@@breakfastplan4518 Yes, early 90s was a lot better than late 90s & beyond. Sure it's not the best period in MTV history, but I remember how artistic it was back then. They still had creativity. I wish I got to see those uncensored years, would have been awesome.
@@jesustheillusionist6484 You can say they had creativity in the 90's - but for those of us who were there day one, the 90's mtv signified the end of an era. a significant shift towards cooperate interests.... And thats where things got weird. I still appreciate 90's mtv and beyond, but man... early Mtv was unruly AF. It was like a public access program on Beta-blockers... with a lot of good music. XD
Wow this is pretty good.brought back tons of memories.never thought I'd be reminded so fondly of station Id spots.Thanks for uploading amigo.made my day!
I'm a substitute teacher, and one of the classes I subbed was discussing the mid-80s cold War tension. At the base level, all they had to do was read Dr. Seus's Butter Battle Brawl, which was written during this time. About a week prior, I watched this compilation; it got to the section where they were promoting "99 Luftbalons" and kinda had an epiphany: "This song came out only a few decades ago. Only a few decades back, and we'd all be full of existential dread." A few days later, I learned what I was going to be subbing on. I thought "to these kids, the mid-80s must seem like an eternity ago." When I came in to do the class, before we even started the assignment, I told the students to try think what it would have been like living I that time, and then I started playing "99 Luftbalons". It was arguably my favorite session subbing.
Most of these bumbers are quite creepy but 25:00 that one gave me nightmares as a child. And Boo-bumper at 24:28 is one of weirdest. I still don´t get what´s the idea behind it.
Jason Vance theres only a few reality shows I enjoyed like rob and big and the fantasy factory. I grew up with that, along with some late reruns of beavis and butthead. But I wish I grew up with this when it actually meant Music TV
I have several hours of MTV footage from 1995-96 including idents, music videos and shows. They were recorded on a hi fi stereo VHS recorder from a stereo satellite receiver and are great quality.I have digitised some of the footage but uploading any of it could be risky, knowing what Viacom are like about copyright.
Worst thing that could happen is them asking you to remove it. You can upload it here or on vimeo. Otherwise it'll most likely be forever lost. After 20 years I'd say it's more of a cultural heritage than something Viacom owns. If you really don't want to upload it just share it with someone who would/could.
Yep, I sure do miss the good old days of mtv from back in the day and when it was good. Miss watching Headbangers ball, dial MTV, MTV top 20 countdown I think it was called. Hey it's been awhile and it's hard to remember everything here. Had some great times, great memories and great entertainment. I am very thankful for being around back in those days and having MTV and all those other great programs too.
I think it's easy to pine for the good old days of MTV but there is so much great weirdness and animation still being made today. We are lucky to have the internet.
i so remember when MTV had the dibs on future hits with their MTV Exclusive Videos or Sneak Preview Videos. i also remember the Blue and White "Exclusive" logo then in June 1987, then it got bigger and became Green and Yellow. at 20:22
Growing up in the 80s i was glued to Mtv 24/7, but theres only so much you can take. Taking a break from it once in awhile was neccesary. Looks like the people who survived the 60s and 70s were employed for all of this. Lots of drugs-unreal imagination !😆🤣😂😁👍📽🎬📺🎵🎶
I was born in 2000 but it seems like there was so much creativity on television and in music during the 80s 😔 wish there was that amount of energy nowadays
Looking at these after so many years makes me feel I'm fortunate to belong to an era when TV was just so cool! Don't know what happened to MTV or TV for that matter. All they spew is garbage these days. Being able to get a slice of the old MTV is just gold! Thanks a ton for uploading.
Love the old Mtv idents. Remember me and my brother watching the pilot when first aired in Australia 1987. Wish they would make it like it used to be no prego teens. :(
In the 80s and early 90s, before it became an actual channel, "MTV Australia" was 2 hour late night TV program on Fridays and Saturdays, featuring videos from MTV plus these bumpers. When they came back to host Richard Wilkins, he sometimes looked puzzled or nonplussed - "...Yeah..." (e.g. the one at 15:07 - 15:24)
26:22 This one was animated by Joe Murray of Rocko’s Modern Life and Camp Lazlo fame. He said the cow in this MTV bumper later became Heffer Wolfe in Rocko’s Modern Life! 😂😂😂
Back in the days when MTV was still cool. I remember back to one of my favorite ones, where the angel of death came to pick up this guy, but the guy was like I’m watching MTV, so the angel of death was like OK, I’ll come back when it’s over. LOL.
A long time ago ,I was watching MTV.And my favourite ad was the one with 2 guys.In the background there was a lorrie built from bricks.One guy was a 'barber',searching the other guy's head for flea or louse.And the guest started to scream and slapped the barber.And they were slapping each other for 5-6 seconds and then become chilled again. I hope you know this one, I'd be happy if you could send me. PS: there is an another one: 3 drawed monster were humming and saying MTV in really deep voice. Thanks
"I want my MTV" That song has never been more relevant than now. MTV used to be creative and alot of heart went into these. I respect they grew up into the modern times but this has more heart if yoh ask me.
These little cartoon bumpers are bloody brilliant. I'd love to be able to recreate some of these now. It would be like a tribute of sorts. I need to do graphic design classes.
OMG... I remember running home from school because there was a NEW channel on cable starting that day! The next day, everyone in school was talking about The Buggles, J. Giles Band, etc...! Aahhh... good times! BETTER times!!!!!
I remember the day we got cable at home - returned home from school and suddenly had channels like Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Boomerang and MTV any time I wanted them. The quality of TV channels in 2020 has drastically declined in my opinion and it’s partly due to the popularity of TH-cam and platforms like Netflix...
90's really was a creative decade. Cant imagine any of todays major channels airing any amateur creativity between songs similar to what's shown here. Used look forward to the creative shorts Mtv played i found them fascinating. Remember lots of short weird animation programmes, these were the professional ones. Love know whats happened to all them and if it possible to watch any. Wow that would be great.
39:47 I loved that old 1930s style cartoon. And Dennis Leary's anti-drug rants would now not be shown because he has a cigarette. MTV used to be great.
I'm wondering, is there anybody out there with hours of the 90's MTV programs, shows, commercials, etc as if you were watching it on TV? I would love to watch that, plunging back for some moment into my childhood/teenage years... :)
There's hours and hours of it available on TH-cam (I've scoured many of them myself). Just do a search for whatever year you are interested in i.e. 1992 MTV - you can get the awards ceremonies, the summer break specials, Unplugged, Headbangers ball etc - the list is fairly endless.
You're here because the guy who made those weird sketch commercials haunting your nostalgic conversations is named BILLY PLYMPTON. Thank you Wilmster, that was driving me nuts.
thats because the team of Fred Seibert & Alan Goodman created many of the MTV bumpers/idents, as well as Nick At Nite, Nickelodeon, and VH-1. Fred/Alan Inc. created some of the best promos
Ooohh, thank you for this piece of information. I did not know that but it's so obvious it's the same creative force behind it all. As a '90s kid that worshipped at the altar of Nickelodeon, I love this!
MTV, you're the best network in the 1980s and the 1990s. What happened you? Bad shows, realities, even some new singers become wash ups. This generation is in trouble. We need the old school to make an rehabilitation for what greatness we know and loved. BRING BACK OUR MTV!
I'm about to cry I miss my MTV. I was born in 1982 my first memory of MTV was in 1985. I was a huge fan until 2007 I stopped watching or maybe 2008 after all the good shows and videos went off air.
i saw two classic commercials like these 1 week ago so..they do. im giving mtv classic a full year first before i dcide if i wanna keep watching or not but for right now it is ok but not great we need a fuller version of this channel. MTV Classic
The time when most artists, even the underground ones, wished to be aired on this fantastic channel... Today, it's practically considered shameful due to how low and stupid that channel became...
It's nice to see so many I don't recall as well as old faves. I was hoping to see the Toby Huss "Go to Hell" bumpers, the Stevie & Zoya series and maybe some Maggie Estep.
The real secret of these idents was figuring out which bands did the background music. For example, @ 7:41 that was clearly 'the police'. Stewart copeland's kit is tuned in a unique way and his Crashes hit like no other crash ever recorded around this time. Andy is clearly the guitarist here and that bassline a a tyical Sting bassline when hes not focused on singing. Even the way the drums come into the bass line is sooo COPELAND! Thats the hidden value of MTV idents.
As a graphic designer this is a great source of inspiration
Yeah maybe I can take some inspirations from this for my college major.

It's kinda got an art school mentality about it. You're just seeing a reel comprised of the work of the studios of these past few decades.

Looking at these after so many years makes me feel I'm fortunate to belong to an era when TV was just so cool! Don't know what happened to MTV or TV for that matter. All they spew is garbage these days. Being able to get a slice of the old MTV is just gold! Thanks a ton for uploading.
I was too.
Hello mate do you got any full épisodes of mtv i have some we can trade
MTV classic promos are back in the day
the efforts of animating the adverts are insane
Love the old Mtv idents. Remember me and my brother watching the pilot when first aired in Australia 1987. Wish they would make it like it used to be no prego teens. :(
hello mate, do you still got mtv australia with richard wilkins i got some episodes we can trade
And make the stunts actually funny
Took me back to the 90s. Reminiscing good old times. The best times the best decade of all time for music and art.
You just made my week!
Thank you!
In the 80s and early 90s, before it became an actual channel, "MTV Australia" was 2 hour late night TV program on Fridays and Saturdays, featuring videos from MTV plus these bumpers. When they came back to host Richard Wilkins, he sometimes looked puzzled or nonplussed - "...Yeah..." (e.g. the one at 15:07 - 15:24)

@@beraya1979 Sorry, no.
26:22 This one was animated by Joe Murray of Rocko’s Modern Life and Camp Lazlo fame. He said the cow in this MTV bumper later became Heffer Wolfe in Rocko’s Modern Life! 😂😂😂
Oh I see 😮😅
Back in the days when MTV was still cool. I remember back to one of my favorite ones, where the angel of death came to pick up this guy, but the guy was like I’m watching MTV, so the angel of death was like OK, I’ll come back when it’s over. LOL.
A long time ago ,I was watching MTV.And my favourite ad was the one with 2 guys.In the background there was a lorrie built from bricks.One guy was a 'barber',searching the other guy's head for flea or louse.And the guest started to scream and slapped the barber.And they were slapping each other for 5-6 seconds and then become chilled again. I hope you know this one, I'd be happy if you could send me.
PS: there is an another one: 3 drawed monster were humming and saying MTV in really deep voice. Thanks
Definitely recalled some of these bumpers 😁❤❤
10:07 Danny Antonucci, creator of "Edd, Ed and Eddy" on Cartoon Network.
Nice catch! Thats kind of mind blowing. But i love his more grotesque side. Danny Antonucci an underrated animator.
35:13
Brings back memories.
Before there are new Adult Swim idents, there were old MTV idents.
"I want my MTV"
That song has never been more relevant than now. MTV used to be creative and alot of heart went into these. I respect they grew up into the modern times but this has more heart if yoh ask me.
These little cartoon bumpers are bloody brilliant. I'd love to be able to recreate some of these now. It would be like a tribute of sorts. I need to do graphic design classes.
Yes, guys... I miss my Mtv too. Oh, these fantastic cut-ins... I could watch Mtv for hours just for them.
OMG... I remember running home from school because there was a NEW channel on cable starting that day! The next day, everyone in school was talking about The Buggles, J. Giles Band, etc...! Aahhh... good times! BETTER times!!!!!
I remember the day we got cable at home - returned home from school and suddenly had channels like Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Boomerang and MTV any time I wanted them. The quality of TV channels in 2020 has drastically declined in my opinion and it’s partly due to the popularity of TH-cam and platforms like Netflix...
90's really was a creative decade. Cant imagine any of todays major channels airing any amateur creativity between songs similar to what's shown here. Used look forward to the creative shorts Mtv played i found them fascinating. Remember lots of short weird animation programmes, these were the professional ones. Love know whats happened to all them and if it possible to watch any. Wow that would be great.
This is a treasure for the human heritage
Sure is ❤😍👏
Happy 40th Anniversary MTV, I Still Want My MTV
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!
OMG . In the 80th and 90th MTV was on top of being the coolest thing ever!
Dennis Leary was a collective nightmare we all experienced
When the adverts are more interesting to watch than current MTV product.
Indeed 😂❤
39:47 I loved that old 1930s style cartoon. And Dennis Leary's anti-drug rants would now not be shown because he has a cigarette.
MTV used to be great.
some of these freaked me out as a kid. damn it’s been a while
🎶Pop it open! Pop it open! Pop open an MTV!
MTV! 🎶
PFFFFF! This tastes AWEFUL!
MTV...we never said you could DRINK it!
🤣
That made me lol
This was the adult swim of my parent's generation.
Liquid TV kicked ass. I watched that back in the '90s. You should check out some clips on YT.
@@NJGuy1973 Liquid Television is so GOOD.
I'm wondering, is there anybody out there with hours of the 90's MTV programs, shows, commercials, etc as if you were watching it on TV?
I would love to watch that, plunging back for some moment into my childhood/teenage years... :)
There's hours and hours of it available on TH-cam (I've scoured many of them myself). Just do a search for whatever year you are interested in i.e. 1992 MTV - you can get the awards ceremonies, the summer break specials, Unplugged, Headbangers ball etc - the list is fairly endless.
I am looking for mtv Australia épisodes with richard wilkins

Loved MTV back then not now too much any more !
2022 here. 90's mtv was my Era. Only music videos.
An absolute trip to the golden days of Music Television. How the mighty has fallen...
@31:04, Homer Simpson: “Mmmm, MTV Logo Cheese!”😂🤣😋❤️📺🎶
41:00 Lou Reed reciting Macbeth (!)
You're here because the guy who made those weird sketch commercials haunting your nostalgic conversations is named BILLY PLYMPTON. Thank you Wilmster, that was driving me nuts.
A lot of these old MTV bumpers remind me of Nickelodeon's old bumpers.
thats because the team of Fred Seibert & Alan Goodman created many of the MTV bumpers/idents, as well as Nick At Nite, Nickelodeon, and VH-1. Fred/Alan Inc. created some of the best promos
Ooohh, thank you for this piece of information. I did not know that but it's so obvious it's the same creative force behind it all. As a '90s kid that worshipped at the altar of Nickelodeon, I love this!
Coincidentally, they are both owned by Viacom.
mtv was werid and creative back in the 90s
King of Toons stop motion miss that mtv
+ the 80's
90s Mtv was the realest
MTV, you're the best network in the 1980s and the 1990s. What happened you? Bad shows, realities, even some new singers become wash ups. This generation is in trouble. We need the old school to make an rehabilitation for what greatness we know and loved. BRING BACK OUR MTV!
MTVClassic is really close, damn close to this, its just missing all the artsy promo bumpers which need to be reinsated stat! :) lol
They need to.
They're asleep at the wheel.
All these classic bumpers and stop replaying the same dozen of music videos.
oh..... nostalgia...... MTV was so popular way back then.... and yes, the MTV logos.......
I'm about to cry I miss my MTV. I was born in 1982 my first memory of MTV was in 1985. I was a huge fan until 2007 I stopped watching or maybe 2008 after all the good shows and videos went off air.
They're making an MTV classic coming august 1st. All I can say is that I hope they show these classic Idents.
They don't, but that would be sweet
Turns out that it sucks.
i saw two classic commercials like these 1 week ago so..they do. im giving mtv classic a full year first before i dcide if i wanna keep watching or not but for right now it is ok but not great we need a fuller version of this channel. MTV Classic
Ivy Knight This is random but do you know if they show any MJ videos on the MTV classic channel ?
Yes. They do. Sorry for late reply.
So many great memories...Thanx!👍
The time when most artists, even the underground ones, wished to be aired on this fantastic channel...
Today, it's practically considered shameful due to how low and stupid that channel became...
This is where the creativity lived
It's nice to see so many I don't recall as well as old faves.
I was hoping to see the Toby Huss "Go to Hell" bumpers, the Stevie & Zoya series and maybe some Maggie Estep.
The real secret of these idents was figuring out which bands did the background music. For example, @ 7:41 that was clearly 'the police'. Stewart copeland's kit is tuned in a unique way and his Crashes hit like no other crash ever recorded around this time. Andy is clearly the guitarist here and that bassline a a tyical Sting bassline when hes not focused on singing. Even the way the drums come into the bass line is sooo COPELAND! Thats the hidden value of MTV idents.
