1:30 - Oh, sure, it's all happy upbeat 80s music when the cars start driving by themselves, until they inevitably start reenacting moments from Stephen King's Christine or Maximum Overdrive...
Funny thing is that my mom was an AVON rep forever! I never knew AVON did commercials! Miss my mom, thanks for all these adverts! Hope you had a wonderful 4th of July, I did!

I hope you're having a great Independence Week, and please check out my posting from the final day of Liberty Weekend, including the commercials as taped off KVIA in El Paso!
Dodge Lancer-shouldve had cameos by KITT(and Christine) Lipton Sun Tea-never place the jars on your front porch,as i learned they made good targets for kids with either rocks or BB guns Stuart Anderson's Restaurants-the ones i dined at,the food didnt really look like how it was depicted in the ads :( Psycho III..really shouldve stopped at II
25:20 - this man’s words need to be heard today. He wanted to be appreciated on the basis of his merits, not be treated differently because of a disability. Nowadays, “victimhood status” is valued as a sort of social currency that can be weaponized to leverage certain privileges. It is a shame. People should be appreciated as individuals who have their own value, not lumped together as part of a group. THIS MAN UNDERSTOOD THIS.
Better yet, you wished you could just time travel back to that time, buy it then and then time travel back here. That would be the definition of instant cash!
Sounds like Prudential is being narrated by Colleen Dewhurst. A great Canadian Actress best known by meany for Anne of Green Gables as Marilla Cuthbert
I remember where I was when these commercials were on - down the Jersey Shore. We had ABC on for much of the weekend. From one of your previous volumes in 1982 (Vol. 171) there was a commercial for Stuart Anderson's Black Angus Restaurants - it looks like they shortened their name by 1986. I guess they weren't together any longer at the very end!
They were definitely known as just Black Angus Steakhouse by the late 80's/early 90's with no "Stuart Anderson's" at the front. I think whatever naming iteration this was, it was short lived.
If you go in, Stuart Anderson's is still mentioned in short reference as to how the steakhouse was made. The square cow is still a bar in the restaurant.
Did you, in fact, post the rest of Liberty weekend? I'm particularly looking for the fireworks show, which as I recall was hosted by most of ABC News, including a delightful little bit where Sam Donaldson wanted to narrate something and Hugh Downs basically told him to shut the hell up and watch the fireworks. I've been looking for that for 30 years now.
I posted the opening ceremonies, that is what these ads are from. th-cam.com/video/00l8CNcDo9U/w-d-xo.html The family these came from did record the other two days but the tapes were later recorded over with other stuff.
Not denying the tech is in development, but the implementation of driverless cars on a national scale is still several years (if not more than a decade) away. There are still a lot of legal, technological and safety issues to overcome.
Pretty sure it's not a piece of popular music...it was probably composed specifically for the ad. Sounds like a ripoff of "The Heat Is On" by Glenn Frey.
@@80sCommercialVault You are probably right ironically I found a song titled Boy's Night Out sung by Timothy B. Schmit completely different song however it is very nice!!💁💕👍
I just ran it past Google Music Search, and it... throws its hands up in despair. He's almost certainly right: it's some piece of production music, maybe resung with custom lyrics for this spot (though I doubt it).
I miss commercial jingles! They’re just so full of optimism and energy! The 80s commercial format is so infectious! It gives hope!
Stop you’re killing me... John Wayne and Bob Hope.😭
RIP Duke and Bob.
Jim Caldwell’s story was pretty inspiring! He retired from IBM in 1999 and passed away last year at the age of 81.
That K-mart commercial was epic!
Yep, I bet it made everyone in America get up and go to K-Mart!( lol )
computer wise. we have come a long way. love it.
Luv that Hampton university ibm commercial
1:30 - Oh, sure, it's all happy upbeat 80s music when the cars start driving by themselves, until they inevitably start reenacting moments from Stephen King's Christine or Maximum Overdrive...
Christine I can't really call her bad as long as you respected her and her owner she would leave you be.
I have these on VHS, too, actually.
1:54 to 3:54 - The jingles here are better than most of today's music...
🎶Look how good you look noooow 🎶
Absolutely
Damin Mance we may have had more to be proud of then. But yeah. The Kmart ad is pure American upbeat imagery

@80scommercialvault, thank you so much for your uploads! They always brighten my day! 🌞
I love the Avon commercials SO MUCH
Me too.
Wow cool set-those Dole bars were great-the Stuart Anderson’s commercial made me hungry🤣

These aired the day after my 7th b-day!
iluvkop79 I turned 7 in February. 80s kids, 90s teens were awesome 😁
6:16 that dude (son-in-law from Father of The Bride) is all up in his face!
23:24.... Jason Alexander, CaaaaaaaaaSTANZA!
Doug Byron He really does look strange. It was weirder when he was singing and dancing for McDLT.
26:19 - Well, it's almost 2020 and those US Liberty Coins are going for ~$20 tops on eBay. 😏
Toby D wonder what they’d be worth in 2050? 🤔
Remember this well
I hate to say it, but if you were not alive in the 80s you missed out big time. It's just a fact.
Quoting Emma Roberts on the last AHS season: 'The 80s were like morning in America.' Someone please invent a time machine.
Yes.
Pretty sure that was George Newbern aka Brian Mackenzie in that McDonald's commercial.
I would have been about 5 years old when these aired.
Wow I didn’t know Avon ever did tv commercials

I agree with you.
I wish gold was as cheap as it was back then

Sony Handycam was legendary..
And very square!😁

Lurker1979 it does sound like her.
Nice to see Ronnie Milsap welcome Tony Danza back to the gym.

@@80sCommercialVault you know, now that you say that I remember having asked you before. My apologies for making you repeat yourself. And thanks.
25:16 - I don't know why the freeze-frame made me laugh as hard as it did, but it did.
Kmart before "that guy" ruined the company. Smh. The good ole days. And the Teddy Pendergrass car crash the paralyzed him.
Those Dodge Lancers driving themselves, Teslas will be doing that in a few years, welcome to the future, 2019-2021...
Not denying the tech is in development, but the implementation of driverless cars on a national scale is still several years (if not more than a decade) away. There are still a lot of legal, technological and safety issues to overcome.
80sCommercialVault all of that is true, but all newer Tesla cars are ready now whenever laws are passed , they have the software.
Something I just noticed. Willard Scott looked a lot like Jonathan Winters back when Scott wore a toupee
@ 4:44 exactly what is happening to Australia at the moment. Reserve bank interest rate at a history low of 1%, recession here we come!
13:51 if speaking is one of the most natural things we do, why does she look so un-natural doing it?
Screw IBM, Apple IIc FTW!
Anyone know the name of the song at 1:25?
"Boys Night Out" I think?👍
Pretty sure it's not a piece of popular music...it was probably composed specifically for the ad. Sounds like a ripoff of "The Heat Is On" by Glenn Frey.
