Something I've noticed about 80s commercials (especially late 80s), they tended to feature warm, natural looking lighting and make use of shadows, and were often filmed at sunset
Corn Flakes- I wonder if that Library would have books on who eats Frosted Flakes, Cap'n Crunch, Lucky Charms, Shredded Wheat, etc.? McDonald's Recital- That girl has some exceptional improvisational skills, coming up with lyrics for "Fur Elise" on the spot like that. She's going to be big someday, I bet.
1986: When things were so bright and cheery. So bright and cheery, that McDonald's decided to film their commercial right on the Sun with one of the future Directors from CSI:Miami.
Well, “The Future’s So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades” by Timbuk 3 came out that year...all jokes aside, it sure seemed like an optimal time of human existence.
Amazing video quality. I would watch it is it was mud, but this is SO well done. Agreed with other comments, very DESERVINGLY sentimental. So much less ego and pretentiousness in the world, then. Cheesy and silly sometimes but it was HONEST(er) , EVEN in advertising :)
I love how there are at least six other identical books on the shelf next to it. I can only assume those are other books in the same series listing other cereals that people eat.
@0:02-love that announcer,"DRREAM WEST!!!" Corn Flakes-was expecting to hear a Chuck Norris fact Miller Lite-i bet when Halley's Comet did appear around that time,Bob & Tommy mustve surely watched the news reports of a naked alien girl from space running around London... Simon & Simon-sadly their country music debut went nowhere Knots Landing-"How did you know it was me doing the spying...?" AT&T Phones-Actor Rondell Sheridan @7:04 Miller High Life-that town is doing even better today
That Merkur was certainly an ugly car it looks like all the changes they had to make for them to be sold here as well as the exchange rate with West Germany at the time made them not sell all that well, not too different from the British Sterling line of cars that were out around the same time.
The best retro commercial channel on TH-cam.
Rwally love and appreciate these!!
Oh man, that McDonald's Piano Recital commercial is one of the definitive 80s commercials. I could still recite most of that song...
Every time I hear Fur Elise I think of this ad.
It was kinda adorable to me ☺️and that was my first time seeing that one:)😅
Something very soothing about the yellow tint on McDonald's breakfast ads

Still better than the crap that passes for today's television shows.

Lot of iconic McDonald’s ads in this volume! I especially like the “By the Hand” one inspired by the Andrews Sisters’ “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.”
The Uecker Miller Lite commercials will always make me laugh.
Another great collection. Thanks.
The old McDonald's slogan is way better than the stupid one now...I'm lovin it. No one says they love McDonald's. Especially their high prices now.
My first job was at McDonald’s and I can tell you that the “fresh egg” and hand-rolled biscuit footage is complete bullshit.
I want this book that lists people who eat corn flakes. 😹

McDonald’s had the greatest commercials back then!
Damn, now the ballerina commercial is making me tear up. T_T
recorded 35 years ago today! plus that Jack in the Box Pizza Pocket commercial makes me crave for one unless if you're a Ninja Turtle!
Fred Gwynne is the voice of the Hyundai commercial
The luggo’s bros pizza jingle is catchy despite it’s a commercial for Round table pizza.
I still get "Second class phones..." in my head sometimes
Amazing how some things stick in our heads . . . “10 million strong . . . and growing.”
What the hell did Laggos pizza do?? This is pure italophobia 😂😂
They say even bad pizza can be okay. Laggos must have some real crap on their menu.
The name in the ad is actually Luggo’s

"Wait a minute... ice cream came out of those strawberries."
That Merker looks like an 86 Corolla and a Saab 900 got put in a blender
Wow Dave Mcelhatton!
I think the mercury Sable is waaay uglier than the merkur.
