Oh my goodness a patriotic McDonald's commercial? In 2020 this would cause some kind of nutty boycott. Thanks Dave, for letting me go back to the normal world of the 80's.....not perfect, but better than nowadays.
80s: "They must have a story and lots of music." 21st Century: "No they don't. Just show the thing." 80s: "Wait...are we talking about commercials or porn?" 21st Century: "Yes."
As a child my Grandma told me that fat people were "full of meat and potatoes." One day waiting in line at the grocery store in the cart I pointed at a larger woman and asked my Grandma..."are they full of meat and potatoes?" They weren't amused.
According to Wikipedia, the winner for country music video of the year 1989 was There's a Tear In My Beer - Hank Williams, Jr. and Hank Williams, Sr. For anyone wondering 🤷♂️
1:55 Gary Merrill on the voice-over for Kellogg's Corn Flakes. 2:54 Burgess Meredith voices a commercial for Sargento. 8:50 Florence Warner sings for Stove Stop stuffing. She was a great jingle singer.
Ray Kroc founder give me break. The franchise design stolen, the menu stolen and the name stolen. All he did was franchise McDonalds not found. Mickie D's was there before he came around.
Luis Ramirez He dnt even franchise it, the McDonald Bros. did that, too. Hecjust pushed the franchise further. In Kroc's defense, he brought his nationwide sales connections & experience.
I always go to McDonald's and eat with a Black friend, a Chinese friend, a half black half Eskimo friend, a blonde whitey, another black friend and my cat.
@@rickjames2.0 😁 but seriously pal, yes that is when McDonald's made edible food from real ingredients, not clone meat burgers and Bill Gates French fries...wanna die early, go eat McD today...even my dogs won't touch the "chicken" nuggets...truly
The dude who was in the corn flakes commercial played a dad on Chapelle Show where his son was one the people on the Real World and he went to visit his son in the apartment where they taped the show and one of the roommates stabbed the dad for no reason.That was funny back in the day.
So I noticed Americans in these commercials black and caucasian and all straight no gay themes or reference etc ... what a difference from today’s commercial wow how the country has changed in such a short amount of time.
America's Meat and Potatoes? Potatoes in the context of the phrase "meat and potatoes" usually refers to mashed potatoes. Odd marketing slogan; probably wouldn't pass muster today.
Uhh no, it meant roasted, or boiled potatoes cut in half usually, because it dates back to the old west, meaning to refer to simplicity, "Just meat n potatoes"
@7:37 of course the AWD Chevy doesn't slip on the ice. The drive wheels are always on a clear surface as the sheet of "ice" is shorter than the wheelbase. Were people stupid in 1989, or did Chevy just think that they were?
I don't remember McDonald's using that American meat and potatoes is there slogan I thought I remember them all. But I do remember Founders Day 59 Cent cheeseburgers 50 Cent hamburgers have a great day
Chevrolet commercial narrated by Don LaFontaine(R.I.P) Cracklin Oat Bran ad almost couldve been a domestic violence situation.. 7:08 aww man i wanted to know who the winner was LOL
I love how every commercial is all about 'Murka!! .....while those same companies are shipping ALL of their American jobs overseas. 🙄 As fond a feeling I have w my rose colored glasses, I have to acknowledge so much of this positive imagery was dubious lies of surface level promises. Do the right thing, trust the corporation, live a happy life. Yeah.....that just didn't work out. I want the feeling, but without the lies. SMH...I fear we may have been set up for a generational implosion planned by our corporate captors. But, hey......that's the Murka that Mark Twain and Smedley Butler warned us about. Yeah. 😔
Potatoes I can buy, but McDonald's having Meat? Last time I had McDonald's the paddy was see though! It was so thin the cow didn't even feel it come off it's backside.

Aw man, that MC Donald’s commercial with the grandpa made me cry. Made me think of mine.
I've watched a lot of these commercials and I think 1989 was the best year for commercials
1989 was nine years of age and still remember majority of these commercials oh the memories.

You're welcome, Shae!
@@DavesArchives wow.
I miss the McDLT! The Styrofoam container kept the hot side hot and the cold side cold!!😂😂
Haha I remember that.
I do.
Wow I actually remember some of these. I was 8 years old for most of 1989, turned 9 later in the year.
Me too! I turned 9 on November 15, 1989
80s: "They must have a story and lots of music."
21st Century: "No they don't. Just show the thing."
80s: "Wait...are we talking about commercials or porn?"
21st Century: "Yes."
AKA: The John Carmack way of advertising.
Lol thank god they stopped putting music in porn 😖 I hate it
Okay.

Those McDonald's ads are making me hungry! XD. Thank you for uploading this compilation
In '89, their "food" wouldn't kill you. Now it's known to make you impotent. Eat as much as you like, fella.
Yummy 😋.
These bring back high school memories---some good, others about high school.
Yay !! A local affiliate of Massachusetts !! Its so cool to see how the world was in 1989..when I was only 2 and had no clue lol i love this 😊
That was a LOT of McD commercials
According to Wikipedia, the winner for country music video of the year 1989 was There's a Tear In My Beer - Hank Williams, Jr. and Hank Williams, Sr. For anyone wondering 🤷♂️
This compilation was McDonalds, car and cereal adverts haha xD That 'Kitten Dinner' ad was cute though, the cat at the end LOL.
1989 !! The greatest year of my life. !!
"Taste them again for the first time." I remember a comedian making fun of that on some kind of award show.
"Taste them *_again_* for the *_first_* time"
Yes.
Back when McDonald's commercials had... dignity?!
Me: Ok America, show me something patriotic:
- Sailors eating Mcdonalds?
- No!
- 4WD Chevy?
- Becks, the N°1 american german beer...
- **Perfect !!!**
My dad was at that fire! He was a captain for Atlanta fire department!!!!

Yeah why do you think they ironically called the film story version "The Founder"?
Yes it was stolen from the Black man like many other things
# the founder.
Boston 1989? I remember seeing a whole bunch of these commercials when I was little...
Looks like McDonald's was a Sponsor for the 23rd Country Music Awards🍔🍟
Ok seeing kittens make human baby cries was just messed up
Knots landing was a great show!
Alex Trebeck with his 'stache!!!!!! :)
Proud Oregon Cat Mom Alex Trebeck was the man back in the day. And Pat Sajack from Wheel of Fortune. Love the 80s shows!
@@goldcherry103 -Yes!😁
R.I.P.
McDonald’s was really rammed down their throats in the 80s tv. Explains why they are all so overweight.
I always go to McDonald's and eat with a Black friend, a Chinese friend, a half black half Eskimo friend, a blonde whitey, another black friend and my cat.
Really glad that McDonald's didn't stick with 'America's Meat and Potatoes'
I was 5 at the time..of these year!!!!!classic...30/years ago..I was 5....now it 2020 wowo!!!
Its a good time for the great taste of McDonalds! Back when it was at least decent.
Rick, you should talk about being decent after your nasty song Superfreak 🙄

Things were better, in the past.
The dude who was in the corn flakes commercial played a dad on Chapelle Show where his son was one the people on the Real World and he went to visit his son in the apartment where they taped the show and one of the roommates stabbed the dad for no reason.That was funny back in the day.

Yes, and men and maleness not continually bashed and belittled.....
What do you expect a stereotype gay with a lime green thong shaking his butt all over the place?
Yes.
All I can say is,
Chevy, Chevy, Chevy, Chevy.
They made all sorts of cars back in the 80's.
Not now, though.
Ahh 1989. The year I was born.
Same!
You.
I would end up working at a McDonalds in New England 7 years after these commercials aired.

It has to be *_on_* the tires, *_not_* shorter than the wheelbase.
It's an advertising gimmick Sgt Harrison, relax! People are more stupid now......
Nice cars 🚗 👌 👍 👏 😎 😀.
I don't remember McDonald's using that American meat and potatoes is there slogan I thought I remember them all. But I do remember Founders Day 59 Cent cheeseburgers 50 Cent hamburgers have a great day

So sad. Their first date when he came home was McDonald's. Lol. It's okay, don't get mad at me, it's just a joke, I like some McDonald's sometimes. :)
