Man, those Sunday Night Move promos really took me back. Shook me, actually, since that's a time and place and feeling I'll never experience again except as nostalgia. Weird feeling.
That yopliat commercial is hilarious. What I love about 80s commercials are the original songs they create for their respective products. Someone actually wrote the songs and then recorded it in a studio.
That’s not a jingle, that’s a famous German torch song. “Falling In Love Again”-made famous by Marlene Dietrich. It was her signature number! Also, I think the narrator is Kate Mulgrew. Am I the only one hearing that?
So many gems in every upload! The Pepsi commercial with the alien was almost gone from my memory until seeing it now. That was a good one. Just watched the same episode of Three's Company when all that money flies out the ATM. I had Romancing The Stone on Beta Max...I would watch that often. One of my fav movies.
Romancing the Stone was a fun movie that was the first big hit for Robert Zemeckis who would go on to make Back to the Future the following year. The movie was written by a waitress who wanted to break into movies. Sadly, she died in an accident not long after the movie came out, so she never got to enjoy her success.
Even weirder, it was in a Porsche that Michael Douglas bought for her. I remember "Romancing the Stone" playing in theaters many months later, advertised as "held over" in the newspaper ads.
The show had a primarily Hispanic cast and was told from their perspective. The show actually explored the issues of stereotypical humor, the main character was a comedian berated by his family to stop stereotyping them in his act: th-cam.com/video/59WOss8fXIo/w-d-xo.html

- Why was Shelly Long doing local commercials during her second season at Cheers? - 9:08 Don’t hurt me! - 9:48 Sheesh, Burger King, why don’t you give me 3-D glasses?!? - 14:00 Really? A Pepsi Challenge a la Beer?
She started out doing commercials in the Chicago area and seems to have had some sort of business relationship or contract with this particular store. I posted an ad for them that also featured her previously in Vol. 353: th-cam.com/video/72cBWIDiLls/w-d-xo.htmlm46s which seemed to have been made several years before Cheers.
Braveheart Q if only we could! I remember so much of my childhood as though it was just yesterday. Crazy to think how fast it all went by. As a kid, adults used to tell me not to blink because before I knew it I’d be older wishing for my childhood to be back. I didn’t believe them when they’d say it, but they were so right.
No. The volcano mentioned in the news story here was Mauna Loa on Hawaii, which erupted from March 24th to April 15th, 1984. Mount St. Helens erupted in 1980.

The ABC Sunday Night Movie theme is just so iconic. I can't get enough of it.
Starscreamlive I have the early 80’s CBS movie theme as my ringtone.
@@chrislang9442 that is awesome!
Yeah the big 3 had very distinct themes over the years.

It might not be true of "Falling In Love Again," but I know just what you mean about using composers.
Mrs. Unsociable thanks! Didn’t know that
Burgess Meredith's voice is epic and perfect in those Honda ads - he can a voice over for any product and probably one of the best
When you feel so much nostalgia your heart hurts...
Scifi FantasyGirl
Thank you you put that just perfectly
I miss this era even though I was a kid I still remember all the commercials and promo's like it was yesterday brings back so many memories

I want my 80's back!
80s where America's last great decade.
If there was one word I've never wanted applied to a yogurt, it's "chewy"...
I highly recommend my chewy yogurt.
OMG!!! March 25th, 1984, 10:12 AM, I was born!!!! :D
So many iconic phrases came from 70s and 80s commercials . Where's the beef ? Time to make the donuts ☺👍

God Damn do I miss these days.......
Thanks! Lots of memories with the Chicago area ads.
Boy, the dialogue for that Pablo commercial.

The ham was absolutely worth the wait!
17:10 imagine being the one that had to wear the leotard that just says "fat" on it and being seen around the studio between changing and filming.
Calm down; unlike you, I think it likely she handled it.
Burger King Salad bar looked tempting..
3. Not paying attention? Get a flour powder slap!

The most interesting ads to me are always the ones for failed sitcoms that only lasted 3 or 4 episodes.
Dan McCarthy yes, unfortunately. So forgotten about until we see these videos...
3:37 - Dick Johnson... I thought it was SNL for a minute!

I believe that's David Pack (lead singer of Ambrosia) singing the Lowenbrau jingle.
Time to make the donuts
"You so much as twitch, you've seen your last taco." Ah, simpler times. 😂
When I saw peas I thought "Wait, wasn't this a Burger King commercial?" Burger King Salad Bar!!!
Dick Johnson? Seems redundant. lol
3:14 - Dick Johnson.... lol
Middle name, Harry. Lol
Shoot, I want that acutrim 👀
Dexatrim was better,😁
I was only four months old when these commercials aired. Now I'm 35 turning 36 in a few months. Oh how time flies!
I'm almost exactly the same age. You're right on time flying. How do we slow it down?!!

I was 17yrs old then. Now I'm 53.
After 20 time just blew by. 😕
4:33 - Something about this woman makes me think robot or Stepford Wife. I think it's that unblinking stare she gives the camera.
Dick Johnson? Unfortunate name!!!
But Mike Adamle would later be on American Gladiators!
Dick Johnson is on NBC 5 Chicago currently.....great name for a newsman. lol.
@@shiznicks74 He was sooo young here!!
Burgess Meredith is a beast
I miss salad bars
Ken Nordine did the voiceover on the Levi's Action Suit spot.
Yes indeed, you are right, the Wilson Ham commercial was very “ yuppie “ as they used to say . Target demographic? Lol !
Nissian was good , reliable well-built cars back then . now they're nothing but junk .
Had to watch it again...
13:16Is that Peter Bergman from “Young and Restless”? Also known as “I’m not a doctor, but I play one on TV”?
Yep! That's him.
BK had pasta salad? holy crap man thank god that did not last forever.
Salad Bars were a thing in the 80s from what I have heard but started dying as trends changed.
KHWendy28 ugh my dad loved that whole nutty BK salad bar 😂 I couldn’t stand the smell of that three bean salad!!!!
Alien was TV on in 1984? Cool but edited like heck.
It’s really not edited much at all besides some profanity and a few brief shots. Most of the violence in the movie is implied and off-screen.
17:07 girl looks familiar.
And my mom & dad were college students.
Who is the actor in the Wrangler's commercial?? Dang, he was fine (back then).
I don't think I've never seen this Joe Sedelmaier commercial @12:22
Kathleen Turner Was so freakin hot back then!
Mr. Dalton absolutely! No idea how she fell off so hard
ALIEN
Even on national TV, NOBODY can hear ya scream
Why did those aliens steal a vending machine? They don't have alien coins?
Was the volcano Mt. Saint Helens?
No. The volcano mentioned in the news story here was Mauna Loa on Hawaii, which erupted from March 24th to April 15th, 1984. Mount St. Helens erupted in 1980.
