Soooo much nostalgia for these 3 commercials - they made me want to explore older music as a kid, and I still love these 3 songs! And Madonna and Depeche Mode are my favourite artist and favourite band to this day!! Crazy to think I might have discovered them both from the same ad campaign!
I’m just realizing that they used the same group of kids in each commercials that’s cool.. but watching this when it actually aired on tv I don’t remember noticing that lol 😂 man I miss my 90s
I don’t remember it either, I knew that the lead singer from phantom planet was in the Depeche Mode one but I didn’t realize he was in all three. Best commercials hands down
@@johnstone2029 .. We got the Hots for each other.. But were really good friends tho. She's got cancer for the third time so past few years she's going thru the motions on trying to get cured. She hasn't hit me up yet about how it's going or if she's been admitted yet. Just giving her some time to deal with it.
Knew a guy who worked for the ad agency that came up with these. He got to meet Sarah Jessica Parker. He said the firm only had 60 folks working for it.
..I almost completely forgot there was once a time where you could make a catchy commercial about a famous brand with beautiful young Men & Women without any political agenda attached to it.
YEP!! Alex Greenwald omg I feel in love with "that guy from the Gap commercials you know one" before I started listening to phantom planet. And then I was like YESSSS that guy!! of course.
Did the guy at 0:44 play one of the Life Support people in the Rent movie? He looks so familiar. Timing (as far as year this was made) seems like it could be right.
There was a Gap advert, late 1990s-early 2000s, with an older woman, cool, singing a couple of lines of a song I remember being bluesy. There was a much younger woman in the advert, too. Anyone point me to it? Or better yet, tell me if she was a real singer and who she was?
I still sing these it’s been stuck in my head all this time and I’m 41 now this makes me sad n happy 😊
Gap used to make such cool classic commercials.

The term “simple yet effective” fits these commercials perfectly.
I guess so because I had a ton of Gap vests circa 98-00!
Geez! These commercials were staples on WB Teen Dramas when the Holiday Season was on full swing!
the good ol days
Actually…. All these Gap Commercials SCREAM…..”freshman year in college” to me….
Senior years right here.
Class of '00
kathurtado13 02 here bro an yes these were good times an the 90s were the best
Class of 2000 as well. “nacho ordinary class”
Felt like it was yesterday. I feel old now.
Class of 1998
Older than all ya'll, lol!
Ah the late 90s as a late Gen-Xer...good times! Rashida Jones on the last 2 commercials.
TraceurDoc1 oh man didn’t even notice that. Thanks for pointing that out
She was in the first commercial too 0:21, hair pull backed, orange vest/gray tee
Man I miss the 90s I remember being in my early teens to mid teens when these were being made an miss this awesome decade
The first one is always my favorite 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
1:32, is that Rashida Jones ??? Bottom right corner!
I would have happily paid for a full length version of any of those sings. I still would.

@@empac8631 yes and I totally agree
I use to absolutely love these commercials!
Dewighca Dawson you look to young to remember these.. but yea I miss the 90s bc music and tv and even commercials seemed to better in my opinion
Man, love these commercials. Makes me wanna go out and buy some clothes.
I lived for these when I was a teen
I wonder how many of these actors never heard these songs before they did the commercials?
Everyone loved these commercials at the time including me.
Nostalgic. We used to loveeee Gap commercials and anticipated seeing the new ones.
They had the best commercials
Omg these gave me nightmares as a kid!
saaaaaaame 🫣 🤣
Coolest ads of all time!!
These were airing when I was in high school!
College for me!
Gap was the best. Commercials, clothes, etc.
the first guy on the first song in now on GH as Patrick. Man he's got a good siging voice.
The blonde in the 2nd/3rd comm's i talk with. We been cool a long time but a few weeks ago she told me she was in 2 of these. And there she is..😊
@@teddyshrader8037 Damn yall like lovers lol?

it’s 2022 and these fits are trending
i miss these ads
Wow agree cool
Commercial rashida jones wow
Omg! My whole childhood in 1min 35 secs
I totally forgot that Gap used Depeche Mode's "I Just Can't Enough!" And since it was leather, the use of DM was totally appropriate! 🖤
While these are great, my favorite was Khaki Swing. The jumping with matrix style camera is always so cool.
I remember when people used to shop at The Gap.
the clothes back then!
Carl Byrd (later VP of Special Projects at The WB) did these ads since he was creative director at GAP Advertising.

Wait, is the guy at 0:20 the lead singer from Phantom Planet??
Yes, it is Alex!
YEP!! Alex Greenwald omg I feel in love with "that guy from the Gap commercials you know one" before I started listening to phantom planet. And then I was like YESSSS that guy!! of course.
Hoping Gap will bring back the 'Khaki Cool' commercials for the 60th anniversary of West Side Story.
Email campaign anyone ?
I see you Rashida Jones and Aaron Lohr
"The Chris Rock Show" parody using "F*@k the Police" brought me here.

Yeah, that’s definitely him! I recognized him as well
@@brookejohansen1681 thanks for replying!! haha yes I thought it was him!
@@lorencappelson6475 He was also in the second Mighty Ducks movie
So, you didn't care for that amazing Gap Swing Khaki commercial?
2nd commercial with the blonde and two other girls singing their lil part together.. I'm friends with her.. 👍
Oh.. She's in the 3rd commercial also..

Who is the first male model?
Get back to work
0:23 Kate from Lost?
So cool
what are the songs pleaseee
Dress You Up (1984) - Madonna, Just Can't Get Enough (1981) - Depeche Mode, Mellow Yellow (1967) - Donovan
White josh??
Those were the cringiest Gap ads, even back then.
I always saw them as cultish, and I kinda got same vibe with the old navy dance party ads.
e
oh god the depeche one is awful haha
Yeah. That’s the only one I hated. Sounded awful.
#goodjobbabe #madonna #boriss
Is that Dave Franco?
Nah, he's too young. They're all about ten years older than him.
@@almightycinder I thought it was one of the Lawrence brothers.
@@msbhaven Which one?
@@almightycinder The middle one.
selling your artistic soul for Gap...wow....
i'm just proud that Steve Earle never made a Gap ad...
Wow, that sucked 🤪
