Wow, I remember almost all of these commercials! What a trip down memory lane. Your channel is one of the best to escape from this crazy world and go back to a more simpler, fun time.
I’ll be 50 (!!!) in six months and nothing takes me back in such a “right there” flush than a commercial I’ve not seen in YEARS. I was glued to tv on Saturday mornings in the 80s. I was 13 in 87 but watched Pee Wees Playhouse with my then 4 year old brother and 10 year old sister. It’s like, “oh God, that frigging song was in my head all day in school”. 😅
The late 1980's was such an iconic time, and I think many of us knew it. The clothing fashions, the neon colors, the hair styles - it all seemed fresh, exciting, and new at the time. The general carefree attitude of the decade is captured pretty accurately in these commercials. The 1980's is one of those decades those of us who were alive at that time and remember its iconic charm. Not every decade has its own flair like the 80's did. For instance, you can't look back at 2000-2010 and think of anything terribly iconic, and I don't think anybody ever will. It was an unforeseen privilege having grown up in the 70's and 80's. Wonderful decade to be alive.
All the commercials have a cheerful, optimistic tone. See also Glass Tiger’s 1986 video (USA version) Don’t Forget Me When I’m Gone. Very fast and abundant with whimsy and imagination. Hope. Like, “this is new and welcome to a new modern, only getting better”. I was 13 in 87 and it was a strikingly different era. I’ve been teaching since 01 and I fear for my students, born in the aughts and later. Glued to screens. 😢 They’ll be middle aged mid century 🌍🔥and there is so much anxiety. We WERE indeed very lucky. 🍀
1987 is one of my favorite years for Saturday morning childhood commercials! Had a He-Man tape that I watched over and over and over and over again that some 1987 Saturday morning commercial jingles wont EVER leave my brain.
Thanks for taking the time to produce this gem! Halfway thru watching, I felt the need to get myself a bowl of cereal! I remember most of these even the "after these messages, we'll be right back!" clips!
It is depressing to an extent. More because we were fairly innocent kids who naively enjoyed what we were seeing in the TV. The reality was it was just cheap brainwashing from an early age. It's fun to look back but sad at the same time knowing. At least in my case. I still remember lots of these jingles, bothers me they took up real estate in my brain for 30 plus years
The good old days when I used to play Mike Tyson's Punch out on NES and if I even survived the first round with him, when I got to the Dream Match, Iron Mike himself would tell me "If I knock you down, don't bother to get back up". Ready for Mario to read me my last rites if Mike Tyson let me live one minute into the second round.
I was 8 years old in 1987, I remember every single one of these commercials. Thank you so much for your channel, you really bring me back to my childhood. You just gained a new subscriber.
What a great collection! I remember every one of these. The best part of watching these classic commercials is being able to finish the rest of a tune you haven't heard for over 30 years!!!
As much as i try to move on from watching these videos i cant , i just miss the 80's saturday morning cartoons so much . The commercial made watching saturday morning tv so much better especially around christmas time , waiting for the newest gijoes to be shown..I feel bad for these kids today ..SOME ONE RUINED THE WORLD RIGHT UNDER OUR NOSE'S . Who do we blame ?
I swear, the 80's and 90's were the best era for great commercials. Almost every commercial had great music. I'm so jealous of kids that grew up in that time.. 😖❤
I saw the thumbnail of captain power and remembering me and my older brother having that and other toys of the 80s, thank you for bringing back the memories with these commercials
Wow all these commercials I remember as a 9 year old in 1987.CBS Saturday Mornings were great with Muppet Babies,Garfield,and Pee Wees Playhouse.Good memories.I miss the going to party bumpers while they went to break.Keep up the great work Dave.
At 18:03 it looks like Keith Coogan putting the tray down at McDonald’s. He was one of my favorite actors in the ‘80s and ‘90s! (“Adventures in Babysitting,” “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead,” “Toy Soldiers,” etc.)
I used to love the M.A.S.K. action figures and vehicles. Definitely my favorite toys back then, they all came with their own helmet and the vehicles all did different things, like the truck opened up had these things that popped out. So awesome. I'll never forget the sad day though. When I took them along with me on this family trip, stayed at hotels and I passed time playing with them. But I got home and tore through everything looking for them. Gone. Somehow left behind who knows where. That feeling was like, the opposite of Christmas morning. By this time they were harder to find too. I mean the show was only on 2 season's and barely even.
Stop doing satan's horns. Unless you want to end up in hell later with the deciever satan for representing him. Denounce satan and willingly accept God=Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior and repent while there is time.
Even though I come from Trinidad and Tobago, I love to travel back in time with these commercials! The mindset of everyone was different then and it undeniably shows! Thanks for sharing, bro!
Who the hell was browsing TH-cam and came across a bunch of old advertisements, that are totally optional to watch, and got so mad they had to drop a dislike on Dave and his archive of old television?
This is fantastic HUGE thank you to Dave for putting all of this together!! Fire up the old tube TV aka the "Radiation King" and eat some cereal and see how Wile E. Coyote's mail order Acme contraption was going to critically fail this week. I miss that tons :) But this was a great wash of warm memories. Thanks again man!!!
I had Captain Power videos and toys. Anyway, I was 9 and thought that once I turned 10, double digits I'd automatically go through puberty overnight because you know double digits.
I haven’t seen those “After these messages we’ll be right back” skits forever. Maybe 30 years. And I had it on in the background and had to stop what I was doing. Nostalgia rush! Wow... like it was yesterday! Th and commercials suck today by comparison.
I was 15 in 1987. I clearly remember most of these, however, I wasn't always up on Saturday mornings in 1987. I was, um, doing things. But thanks for the memories, these are great.
That last one is what I needed to see. I'm in my middle age and I have a lot of talents, but I am stuck as to what to do next. But, I love this bit of nostalgia.
Was in College back in 87... Used to watch Sat. am TV while nursing my hangover! Not 100%... but I'm betting that's Jerry O'Connell in the Oreo Commercial at 1:35!
MUCH better time of life...and if you notice no one is begging for money. Nowadays it seems everyone is trying to hustle for their own cause by tugging at the heartstrings for guilt money. The commercials then and in the 70s were mostly entertaining and fun. I lived it and loved it. Take me back!
It's true! So much is stored away in our memories and it can't be accessed until something triggers it. As soon as I saw these commercials, I remembered all of them but I could not have just decided to go into my memory archives and browse and pull up old memories. I wish I could! Maybe neuroscience will one day figure out a way to make that happen.
@@wesrm1 Not only do we remember hearing a theme song from decades ago, but we can sing along with them note for note which is a whole other level of recall. Pretty cool.
There was a commercial when I was a little kid... Probably around 1980 -82, it was a Levi's jeans commercial where a kid about my age was going through his day wearing these super tough jeans.... I remember the kid had a wooden sword he was playing with... He reminded me of me because he was alone. I lived in a rural area and didn't have anyone to play with. There was a song to it that went something like Levi's hard washed jeans for little men like you, tough but soft cause you've got your soft side too... I have searched for that commercial and so help me, I can't find it. Maybe I dreamed up my own commercial.
I think that’s Billy Jayne in the Macca’s commercial. I always got him and that McDreamy guy confused...but I had crushes on both😂💗 I’m dying at that Monster Mash game😂-now it would be millennials taking him to the QuietRoom talk out his feels, and monster sensitivity training for all those kids🤦🏼♀️😂 When did people become butthurt all the time over nothing???
Jan 2 1987 is my birthday I just wish I was born in the early 80s lol I actually remember having one of those puffalumps I think it was the elephant one
I was born September 10 1981 and I remember like 90% of these commercials, I lucked out, but in the end we are still 80's babies, and my girl always reminds me 80 babies are a different breed. Ctfu
Thank you again Dave, Hard to believe we used to have to use our imagination as kids. I lived out in the country as a kid with no one around, all I had was imagination and it was great:)! Could be why I'm so mello now? Great job again my friend.
Someone should build a time machine so we can loop this entire decade or so we could all pick up and move to an all 80's parallel dimension.
Wow, I remember almost all of these commercials! What a trip down memory lane. Your channel is one of the best to escape from this crazy world and go back to a more simpler, fun time.
Factually accurate
Glad you like them and I appreciate that! :)
I'd go back to these days in a heartbeat bro
@@jw9737 I would be just fine with going back and staying, even knowing what was ahead that I might like.

Ahhh 1987. I was 18 and met the girl who became my loving wife for 31 years before she passed last year. Love ya soulmate.
sorry for your loss
So sorry 😐 for your loss.
God bless
My first car was a 1987 Toyota celica. Great car, still one of my favorites. That and the 1985 monte carlo LS, 2 tone paint, tan and copper.

1987 is one of my favorite years for Saturday morning childhood commercials! Had a He-Man tape that I watched over and over and over and over again that some 1987 Saturday morning commercial jingles wont EVER leave my brain.
I’m 34 and I remember after these messages we’ll be right back. That jingle must have went on into the 90s because I’m 1 in 1987
Ditto
Me too.
I was 12 in 1987 and I remember every one of those commercials. Can I please go back??
The jingles for these ads are better than today's crappy pop songs! Go figure. Thanks, Dave!!
It’s Saturday morning again. I’m watching my favorite toons and chowing down on Mr. T cereal! Thanks for the memories!!
Watching retro commercials been a Great Stress Reliever during this pandemic..Thanks Dave
The 1980s would have to be the best period ever.
Sorry to those of you who weren't there.
I was there, it was just in my previous life and now in this one I still haven’t let go. ❤️
1975 here 😉
The 90s were pretty solid too🤙
Thanks for taking the time to produce this gem! Halfway thru watching, I felt the need to get myself a bowl of cereal! I remember most of these even the "after these messages, we'll be right back!" clips!
This is oddly depressing. 😞 I miss being a kid in the 80s.

Good.
The good ole days. Back when I watched Saturday morning cartoons and played Contra on NES.
The days of Nintendo and Nickelodeon and not caring how many hours were spent on any of it.
The good old days when I used to play Mike Tyson's Punch out on NES and if I even survived the first round with him, when I got to the Dream Match, Iron Mike himself would tell me "If I knock you down, don't bother to get back up". Ready for Mario to read me my last rites if Mike Tyson let me live one minute into the second round.
Nice.
Its clear to me that advertisers are really good at their job because I remember many of these commercials to this day even the lyrics to the songs
I remember a few of them, but those were the days. I miss the 80's.
Oh man, starting off with Pee-Wee's Playhouse and a MASK commercial. Perfection.
Seeing that Captain OG Readmore commercial gets me every time. MAJOR 80's Saturday Morning Cartoons nostalgia!
I was 3 years old in 1987 and some of these commercials and cartoons bring back such memories ❤️
Huh, so was I.
Me too.
Don't know where you found these gems but I'm happy you did. What a great simpler time.
I like all retro commercials, but Saturday morning commercials are the best! Toys, cereal, PSAs, all the best stuff!
I was 8 years old in 1987, I remember every single one of these commercials. Thank you so much for your channel, you really bring me back to my childhood. You just gained a new subscriber.

Toy commercials were so cool back then. It makes me want to by the toy now.😃
I wasn't born in the 1980s when Saturday Morning commercials were fantastic for kids to watch back in the day.
I love this so much it actually makes me cry a little
...real close to it myself.
Okay.
Do I remember all this... Wow. I think I still have lots on VHS tapes recorded. These were great times growing up.
You should try to upload them!
Okay.
There is something so comforting about watching commercials from when you were young.

Not 100%... but I'm betting that's Jerry O'Connell in the Oreo Commercial at 1:35!
I think your right.
He is.
Holy crap! Channel 4?! I live near the Quad Cities. Finally a collection of retro commercials from a channel I grew up with.
On mamas couch, eating lucky charms, watching cartoons and nobody can make me do a dammed thing but that.
Looks like Chris Young just before the movie The Great Outdoors for the Captain Power commercial.
MUCH better time of life...and if you notice no one is begging for money. Nowadays it seems everyone is trying to hustle for their own cause by tugging at the heartstrings for guilt money. The commercials then and in the 70s were mostly entertaining and fun. I lived it and loved it. Take me back!
