Being able to watch these classic commercials again after 30-40 years is really special. So many memories, so many special times. Each commercial can bring up a certain memory. And it reminds us of how great we had it back then. And how much we miss it!
It's amazing all the streaming services I have I pay extra for no commercials, I even still have have cable tv that I dvr my shows first so I can skip thru commercials, because I absolutely cannot stand current commercial advertising ,yet I will come to youtube to watch hours of commercials non stop like here I grew up on. Today's advertisers need to look back at what worked back then and get a clue.
It was my 8th birthday on New Year’s Eve 84 so I remember almost all of these old commercials my birthday was the only exception other than the seasonal semester breaks that took place during the school year where I got to stay up late other than that I was always in bed by 9 pm which absolutely hated at the time cause I wanted to stay up and see what my parents were watching on TV that I had to go bed so early
It was on so often that I remembered all the words almost 40 years later. The video I just uploaded is has it too (one of the only repeats) despite the fact that it was taken from a different set of tapes.
I couldn't stand them then, but now they relax me???? How does that happen??? I actually think that commercials were great because they would give you just enough time to go the bathroom, run to the kitchen to grab a snack and a soda and run back hoping you didn't miss anything! 😂😂😂😂 Thanks for uploading these gems! 🤩🤩🤩
I was going to comment this myself. When I was recording my shows, movies, etc. on my old 📼📼VHS📼Beta📼📼 tapes I tried to always edit out or pause the tapes during the commercials. But now, looking back at all of the past items, toys, shows, movies, foods, and whatnot, it brings back so many wonderful childhood memories. I used to love Saturday mornings for the cartoons and shows like Land of the Lost, the Banana Splits, and others. My favorite however is and always will be the Bugs Bunny/Road-Runner Show. But as to your comment, it is ironic how back then we didn't want to watch them yet now we search them out and spend hours watching them. It shows to me anyway, just how good we had it, and how much we actually miss it.
I have a time machine built out of a porta-potty hidden in the closet of my mother in law's sewing room. thinking of retrieving it, and heading back to the 1980's. who's with me.....
Anyone else wish we could go back? Thank god for reruns cuz this new reality tv sucks, no new shows just try and redo our old classics. I swear im the only person who remembers the show manimal.. nice to go back in time.... thank you for taking your time to do this for us to enjoy!
At 04:24, that was news anchorwoman Jessica Savitch. She sadly passed away after a car she was in with a man and her dog from off the road during a rainy night after leaving a local restaurant and everyone in the car died from drowning. I'll never forget when that happened.
@@kramalerav good point. I often wonder if my life would have been better growing up in the 80s. Seems like people had more fun rather then getting all bent out of shape with todays issues. What are your thoughts? Thanks.
Commercial with the Wrangler jeans and Jeep CJ got me thinking. I thought it was Wrangler jeans with a Wrangler Jeep but the name Jeep Wrangler name wasn't used before 1987. I wonder if some Exec was like, "Hey let's steal that name for our new model year. Free commercial already two years old"
I dont remember the kodak camera but i definetley remember hardcastle and mccormick and their coyote kit car that had a vw engine. Ive still got a model of the car
American tv in the 89s wasnt all that different to australian tv except burger king here is hungry jacks. I only knew of one burger king here in australia. What has always bugged me is how damm happy the people are in tgese advertisments 😂😂😂
My family was an Atari family back in the 80's. Even our keyboard computer was an Atari 400/600/800, I forget which. It wouldn't be until lately that I acquired a Colecovision from being on a Facebook group around it. And even then, I still play Minecraft. I'm such a hypocrite.
@@tjbooker9948 ok cool thanks i just saw youtube video of him riding the big bad wolf thru a tv news youtube video channel cbs or nbc or abc channel news

@Sideburn Studios He really was. You know, back then, for the most part, there were just a handful of people doing 85% of the vo's. For those of us who were on-camera but new to vo at that time, it was a daunting task to win an audition. Thomas was among the best and, even more importantly, a kind and gentle soul.
I think the thing is that there was color in the '80's....clothes had bright colors, cars had colors, homes had bright carpeting and furniture with detail-things on them! And everything was sold with a jingle, and you could still go to Sears! Tell me what was wrong with the '80's!
MINDBLOWING! I have never heard such a fascinating story in my whole life! Krhgieg Teeaghe is an American hero on par with David Parker Ray or Lawrence Bittaker.

I was 13/14 when these were on. I taped the shows thinking they would be what interested me "in the future". It turns out the shows sucked, but the commercials were awesome.

Simpler times. Just watching these commercials is taking me BACK!!!!, in 1980 I was 10yrs old Best times of my life in the 80’s! ♥️♥️♥️
The human brain is so interesting, that Big Red commercial jingle was stored somewhere in my brain disk for 35 years.
Omg yes! I somehow knew the lyrics without thinking about them 🤣
Wrigley co had so much as money back then ! Now we do t even chew gum lol
My friend from elementary school made a dirty version of that song. 😁
Same here
@@islandbee do you remember it? I would love to hear it
I was a young man in my 20s then; I was married in 1983, so I remember these commercials like they came out last week.
Man... Life was so good back then!
Life was probably simpler but the games were garbage compared to now.
@@sandcastle1417 Games? Who the f*** cares about games, they aren't life.
@@sandcastle1417 life wasn’t simpler, it just seems simpler.
Because we were kids
Unfortunately, going through life we didn't know these times would end, and now just a fond memory.
The 80s were the best. The best time of my life.
💯

I couldn’t have said it better!
Smell that? Pure Mid-80’s! ❤
Everything was better!
Smells like government😂😂😂
I purely hate commercials anymore. Back then they were so fun to watch. ❤️

Me too! I love all these vintage 80s adverts! Soooo much awesomer than the ads they have on TV these days!
None of these ads yelled or screamed at you. Ah civility
Well said! I am the same way, I'll watch hours of retro or vintage commercials but can't stand modern commercials.
Oh my gosh, same here!
Sounds like you miss your childhood. Sorry things didn't work out for you.
When you think a movie is on but its just a Campbell's commercial 😂 gotta love throw back ads , so entertaining for some reason
Man the 80s what a decade.
It was my 8th birthday on New Year’s Eve 84 so I remember almost all of these old commercials my birthday was the only exception other than the seasonal semester breaks that took place during the school year where I got to stay up late other than that I was always in bed by 9 pm which absolutely hated at the time cause I wanted to stay up and see what my parents were watching on TV that I had to go bed so early
I was a teenager then and remember all these pretty well.
Also we need Automan right now. 18:24
Automan aka from 🤣 not sure they showed that here in Australia but it seems oddly familiar
Lol I remember seeing several of these as a kid. That big red commercial was on all the time.
It was on so often that I remembered all the words almost 40 years later. The video I just uploaded is has it too (one of the only repeats) despite the fact that it was taken from a different set of tapes.

Nostalgia from younger , simpler times is soothing.
i miss those days ......today sucks bad..
Man, Different strokes, silver spoons and mannamal was a great night for me!
That was a great, almost 90 minute trip back in time!! Im going for another ride!
These day to day 80’s ads are better than most recent year’s Super Bowl commercials.
These days 80's commercial are better than the hellscape country we live in now.
Uh okay. Nostalgia blinders.
The year I graduated High School.
Can I go back? Because it sucks here now.
I'd love to go back, but only with today's technology available to me.
You sound old and bitter. Chin up!
I agree. It is awful. Such simple and carefree times.
@@twcpa nah man, i wanna go back to live with the technology that was available then. Im tired of being tired of todays bulls***
glad I was an 80s kid
Tks for posting I grew up in Philadelphia, nice to see the local business commercials and news promos
I remember watching the Big Chill in the theater as an 8 year old. Didn't really get into the story. But, loved the music they were playing.
Very cool. thanks for posting we all grew up in those times, something we can appreciate as we are in our 50's now
The news guys back then sure were news guy-ish. Love it.
I loved it when companies just tried to sell a product, not an ideology
Agreed!!
For real. I'm seeing lots of representation without any feeling like I'm being preached at.
Capitalist pig spotted
It’s all ideological and money driven, always has been
Don't want you or your loved ones to be tranny hermaphrodites?? Shame on you!
At the end of the AT&T commercial, Andy should have picked up the receiver and said, "Sarah, get me the diner."
I was 9 years old in 1984 living in Clearwater Florida and Bensonhurst Brooklyn
I’m j can’t stop watching these! They bring back wonderful memories from a wonderful time!
This takes me back ❤
I miss the 80s commercial the atmosphere was just peaceful
Thanks for these memories 😊😊
Oh the nostalgia!! Especially singing that whole doublemint song thanx a million, wow I just heard Hardcastle &McCormick 😊😊
I was watching this..... I MISS THE EIGHTIES
When TV was better. Commercials were better. Life was simpler. This brings back fond memories.
I know I want to go back!
I agree.
This is such an amazing upload. Thank you for digitizing and uploading. Takes me back to my favorite times.

@@frankcioffi5122 you provide the beer, i'll get the gas money.
Wait for me! I'm taking my cellphone with me so I can take some pics of the things that were popular back then!♥️💯

I was probably anywhere from 5th-6th grade around this time. Simpler times 😢

I dig that “Jontue” song. It should be released as a single.
Oh wow too many days gone by Whew humph😪❤️ seems like so many things were good in these days🤷♂️💯❤️🌹👏
I've always loved that Campbell's commercial at 7:32!
I like the one where the snowman melts at the table. I think thats Campbell's 🤔
I was waiting for ad to be over and forgot I clicked on a video with back to back ads
I remember many of those commercials!, I still remember the jingles!
watching this makes me think of how life is so short and frail.
The second commercial (for Jontue) has music that is obviously trying to have an "Every Breath You Take" feel
When life was much simpler.
And people who grew up in the 40s said the same thing back in the eighties. In 2073, they’ll be saying life was simpler in 2023 too.
Just sayin’.
@@kramalerav good point. I often wonder if my life would have been better growing up in the 80s. Seems like people had more fun rather then getting all bent out of shape with todays issues. What are your thoughts? Thanks.
I love how Gary Coleman is just bopping along to "Auld Lang Syne" on the record player before asking for donations to help organ donors.
Still love the movie Christine!
You wanna watch what you call my car?
who doesn't, simply a must have for any video library...
It looked good lol
It was alright, but a big step back from Carpenter’s The Thing.
This makes me so damned happy :)
I still know all the lyrics to the Big Red commercial 🤣🤣
Commercial with the Wrangler jeans and Jeep CJ got me thinking. I thought it was Wrangler jeans with a Wrangler Jeep but the name Jeep Wrangler name wasn't used before 1987. I wonder if some Exec was like, "Hey let's steal that name for our new model year. Free commercial already two years old"

They sure liked blouses with bow ties back in the '80s, didn't they.
I loved my secret keeper!
:30 Hilariously blatant Every Breath You Take knock-off.
I still have my Colecovison...and yes, I have Zaxxon and Donkey Kong when Nintendo was only making games and not game systems.
wow i remember all these comerciasl i grew up in that era im 47 born 1975
80's Retro
❤❤❤thank you🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank God Canada Dry saved that party.
Wow, I miss these kind of commercials, all the commercials now are pharmaceutical companies trying to push their drugs on everyone!!
all the young good looking people are in their 60’s now.
Was that the Little House special where Albert becomes addicted? Man this is such great tv
Vincent price got to ride the first opening of the Big bad Wolf rollercoaster at Bush Gardens Williamsburg Virginia long time ago
I heard those weren't the only bush gardens he rode that night.
@@tjbooker9948 ok cool thanks i just saw youtube video of him riding the big bad wolf thru a tv news youtube video channel cbs or nbc or abc channel news
Back when game systems actually came with a game.
Since when did they start serving Campbell’s soup at diners?
And RAWR John Travolta!

For those of us who were on-camera but new to vo at that time, it was a daunting task to win an audition. Thomas was among the best and, even more importantly, a kind and gentle soul.
Another that comes to kind is Ken Nordine. What were some VO’s you did?

Automan is on DVD, but I really want Marquerade!
Preparing for a 10 k race means lots of running and lots of running means eating lots of Campbell’s soup to promote recovery?
9:25 some hipster somewhere is still using a Kodak Disc to take pictures in 2023
The commercials used to be almost like a story.. ps i can sing these like i did it yesterday.. freaking odd the brain is
Those commercials were worth watching back then because they weren't crappy or depressing, unlike the junky stuff on TV nowadays
sad that street hawk and auto man only lasted only 13 episodes each...
I remember Street Hawk. I really didn't remember Automan.
@@twcpa the opposite of that is true to me...
The Big Chill.. oh wow
16:10 creepy stranger danger !
What the??? Automan??😯
Obviously capitalizing on Tron. LOL.
Automan looked like a cheap knock-off of Tron🤣
52:45 interesting ad choice... 😬
Glad my parents were not like that when it came time to brush my teeth. Poor kid has never been the same since....
15:28 I bet that Scope mouthwash came in handy After the date was over.
Oh man. WTH is the car in the Jontue ad right near the start of the video? I hope someone knows. It's gonna' drive me nuts.
I watched this video at 7 pm.....6 central and mountain
5 mountain time then.
I have one & still love it!!
“If you’re gonna fire her, you’re gonna have to fire me first!”
“Ok, you’re fired.”
Shit was simpler in the 80’s.
