    I don’t know what it is about the early 80s, but I just love re-examining the pop culture. Unashamedly cheesy, refreshingly optimistic, even in the face of real world problems, and so many exciting new things just coming to people, like VCRs and CDs. I never get tired of going back to this era.

    • @thegreatwhodeeny1073
      @thegreatwhodeeny1073 2 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      There was a reason for the optimism. It was pretty much our country's peak. Yeah the 90s were pretty good as well but we were headed in a downward spiral afterwards.
      I'm also fascinated by 80s culture. We all took it for granted.

    • @TELEVISIONARCHIVES
      @TELEVISIONARCHIVES 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Our phones and the internet have made us less creative. Lots of people have mentioned it lately. Today it's all about TikTok(Yikes) etc. When these were made the creator actually put some originally thought into the commercial. Today it's nothing but copycats. Craig Fergerson talked about this in an interview. He won't use Social Media anymore and stays off his phone so he can come up with original material. Watching Commercials in real-time and only a few times is actually better. Just my opinion

      In hindsight I think 1986 was the absolute peak of 80s culture. Yeah 87-89 was amazing too but 86 has it all.
      Yeah video game/arcade culture was incredible...the later generations will never understand it. The graphics were pretty basic but we were on the ground floor... building what would come later.
      I also liked how arcade culture got intertwined with mall culture.
      I agree that it would be amazing if we could somehow go forward in reverse...a return to a simpler time where things aren't moving at lightning speed.

    Oh my gosh how I miss the 80's! So refreshing watching these commercials. Wholesome, simple, cheesy, and short and to the point. No commercials with sexual innuendos, or racial narratives with crappy music. Also takes me back to when we'd do things as a family and I still had my mom around with her beehive hair and big smile.

Can you imagine a commercial encouraging employers to hire a teenager in these fraught days? Wow is it fun to see the Datsun 200 SX. This is a fantastic set of commercials, Dave. I also don't remember the blue Diet Dr. Pepper cans. And doesn't Telly Savalas look fly in his trenchcoat and red silk scarf? That man could wear clothes. And Gary Owens for Stick-Ups. Fun commercial. And Mason Adams for Cadbury eggs. So many memories. Thank you again for sharing. Love these collections.

    I'm glad you didn't play the SINE-OFF commercial from '74. It would've brought back funny memories. I was 5yrs old and angry cause my Mom (God rest her soul) told me that I couldn't go play until I finished my small glass of milk. She went to the bathroom. My baby brother was sitting in his high-chair in the living-room. That SINE-OFF commercial came on. The commercial had a lady saying, "ESS AYE IN EEE - OH EFF EFF!!". I thought it was funny so I kept repeating it and spitting a mouthful of milk in my baby brothers face!! I remember laughing cause it would take his breath and was dripping off his eyelashes.
    My Mom whom had been laughing in the bathroom cause she could hear me repeating the commercial, had no idea what I was actually doing. She came out of the bathroom, saw in horror of what I was doing and whooped the livin' tar outta me!! When my Dad got home, I justifiably got another whoopin'. xD

    I had no idea Dr. Pepper ever had blue cans.
    The commercial jingle was mostly dead by the time I could form lasting memories, but I appreciate the effort that went into them, even if a lot were cheesy. Nowadays, if an ad has music with lyrics, 9 times out of 10, it's either an already existing song, or some bad version of something in the public domain where they changed two or three words.
    Maybe it's a combination of the food ads and the fact the these videos usually drop around dinner time, but uploads on this channel make me hungry. It's weird.
