It's amazing how a movie like Gremlins was heavily promoted to kids back then. I remember there were toys, a kid's meal at Hardee's restaurants (with a storybook-record combo), candy, dolls...All built around a movie that had little green monsters killing people, and that wonderful story of why Billy's girlfriend, Kate, hated Christmas...
+yusakug It might be dark, violent and gross at times but it's still in essence a silly horror movie for kids with a lot of sightgags and humor straight out of cartoons. And Gizmo is factually the cutest thing ever created. Though the uproar that "Gremlins" and "Indiana Jones and the Temple Of Doom" elicited from outraged parents that summer are what spawned the PG-13 rating.
+80sCommercialVault I recall. My two older brothers took me to see Gremlins when I was 7 years old that summer, and I had to leave the movie early. I did catch the full movie on HBO a year later, and I remember loving it. And yes, I was huge into Gizmo back then. Even had a stuffed toy that squeaked when you squeezed it. And thanks to Ghostbusters also in the summer of 84, I fell in love with movies in general.
That's Keith Coogan in the Corn Pops ad. The grandson of Jackie Coogan was a busy child actor in the late 70's and throughout the 80's on many TV shows. Also had notable roles in the films "Adventures in Babysitting" and "Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead."
I love and have fond memories of the 80's, but have to say that 84 was the best year of my life. The music, toys, movies and Night Tracks (before MTV popularity) would be the highlight of my weekend. With all the issues going on the world, it's good to step in the time machine that is 80's Commercial Vault Channel and watch these Nostalgia commercials. Thanks and been a subscriber since the beginning.
This is the motherlode of 1984 ads: great VO talent like Paul Frees, Daws Butler, Arnold Stang, and a pre-Nintendo "Mario Bros" commercial for Atari. Wow!
Nice ads from channel 4! Jack Cafferty left WNBC in 1989 then went to WNYW and WPIX in the 90s. Blueberry Hubba Bubba was the best they had and I'm willing to fight y'all on that. And those Shark Bars were a weekly addiction from the ice cream man. I also had those puffy He-Man stickers!
Had that sweeet Castel Greyskull playset and Ram Man as well. Mother threw away the former leaving only the gate and I think one of the canons. Andf always fgreat seeing A-team's Murdock. He was my favorite as a kid.
23. Colgate - I always loved this commercial. Funny how this was modeled after another song. It actually reminds me of When Worlds Collide by Powermac 5000 (the refrain of the song)
When we used to have fun raisers at school I would always look at the prizes they were giving and dream of winning a phone, hey did anyone recognize Steve Urkel in the Oreo commercial,Man At Arms was my favorite He Man character. Sorry I am commenting as I am watching this . Hey wasn't that Turbo moon walking across the street on the Mc Donalds commerical, hey i was just telling my daughter about the Get Along Gang on Saturday, I would always day dream of eating name brand cereal because we didn't have a lot of money growing up so we usually ate the generic brand but I was blessed with a dad who even though didn't make a lot of money still managed to get us some of the stuff we really wanted, G.I. Joe's were a better trade off to name brand cereal!
Phones bmx bikes what happened to the good prizes cereal companys you could even send in to get a free one free stickers with toothpaste kids must of been lucky in the 80s so much free fun
I had an Atari 5200. It had really good graphics for its time. Much better than the 2600. It was HUGE in size and the controllers broke after a few weeks. The shitty controllers are what killed the system.

+Bill Seipel I usually do try to restore the audio as much as I can on these, but you can only do so much. Believe me...it was much worse in it's original state.
+80sCommercialVault I do thank you for fixing these up as best you can. Used to work for an audio engineer and if I were to guess.. this hum peaks out at 6K or so. If I could, I'd help try to fix this. :)
+Bill Seipel Well, the video is already posted, so any further restoration is sort of moot. Thank you though. My opinion with audio restoration is that keeping some high end information and detail with a little noise is better than creating something with aggressive and heavy noise reduction. I try to shoot for somewhere in between.

Gosh, How time flies. Next month September 1984 I would be graduating from High School. I miss the good ole days. The world has changed completely.
Dang, I miss the 80's.

I Agree me to 83 - 86
A Mac I’m 46 years old and I too think 1984 was one of the best year in my life.
I miss the time when stickers were a BIG DEAL
The PUFFY STICKERS!!!! OMGGGGGG!!!!! I MISS THOSE SO MUCH!!!! 😟😟😟😟
This is the motherlode of 1984 ads: great VO talent like Paul Frees, Daws Butler, Arnold Stang, and a pre-Nintendo "Mario Bros" commercial for Atari. Wow!
The "Crest" Commercial is so very "Kirby"-esque. And those "Swirly-Q's" look delicious. Forgot about those.
Oh my, the "one to grow on" opening totally brought back memories.
Nice ads from channel 4! Jack Cafferty left WNBC in 1989 then went to WNYW and WPIX in the 90s.
Blueberry Hubba Bubba was the best they had and I'm willing to fight y'all on that. And those Shark Bars were a weekly addiction from the ice cream man.
I also had those puffy He-Man stickers!

Lil Jaleel White him soo cute😃😄
the 80s and the 90s were the best
You can say that again. 😢
I Agree brings back memories
I want that Zipper Cat plush! Loved the super New Wave toothpaste ad!
I was 10 years old for a few minutes.
Bring back the fried apple pies at McDonalds
And it's kinda nice remembering a world before computer animation took over everything.

+Adam 'Spud' Shaw I never realized as a kid but it sounds like Madness, Baggy Trousers
+fuka925 I already mentioned this in the video description, even linked the video.
cpt. crunch always sounded drunk lol
80,s food and soda was the shit

I love that Oreo commercial! I always wanted to build a cookie dunker contraption like your geeky kid has.
Oddly , most of those real geeky kids ended up on tons of dope in high school.
We named our boxer-pit mix: "Howlin' Mad Murdock." He died in 2020. Best dog ever!!
Feud from 1976-2009 wasn't a PG-going on R rated show like it was in 2015 :)
Back when McDonald's fries tasted better.
Oh man, Blueberry Hubba Bubba. My least favorite gum flavor of all time.
However, if they brought back Hubba Bubba soda, that would be great!
i thought Thundarr The Barbarian aired on ABC..?
Starriors-i dont recall if there was ever an animated series for that property..

@2:11
the kid looks like he's giving the 1000 yard stare
+Dori C I imagine the original footage before they added the cartoon characters made him look especially crazy
Is the boy in the rice krispies commercial Fred Savage
+danny75461 No
That kid was David Mendenhall. Has done many roles but I recognize him more from the movie 'Over the Top' (1987) with Sylvester Stallone.
+SeXaR68 He was also the voice of Daniel in Transformers the Movie.
@@SeXaR68 Thank you I knew I seen that kid from somewhere
@@SeXaR68 Over the top was not a good movie
