I was thinking how it reminded me when being able to watch a movie at home was so huge!! It was an event the whole family sat and watched. Now it’s so available there’s no magic to it. That intro makes me remember that magic. I love it!
@@eonkshabonk That's what I was gonna say! Was fun to have a movie chnl. They would re-play movies for about a month. This instant access to basically everything blows.
I would love to go back to 1987. Alot of good times then. I live on the east coast so some of the businesses advertised I have never heard of. I wonder if Burger King would still honor that 2 for $1.00 deal ??? We didn't have that in my area.
Before there were cat videos and cats doing stuff on TikTok, there was Cat Fancy Magazine😂 It’s the the Jurassic ancestor that evolved into our modern ‘cats riding Roomba’ videos... I remember this commercial cuz I thought the guy a tad odd...like it’s Playboy only with cats😳-he scared me a little😂🤦🏼♀️ It’s freaky how more and more cats start appearing as the commercial goes on. I bet he wound up on Hoarders😂😂😂
The “Fajita Pita” girl is Julia Campbell. She went to my high school (Lake Braddock-Burke, VA in ''82). Julia played the head mean-girl, Christie Masters, in Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion.
Wasn’t born till 2 years later but I love watching 80’s anything. Def seem like a fun time period and my husband who was born in 83 loves teasing me because he says he is an 80,s baby and I can’t claim it because I was born in 89 lol
born in 86 and I know that ambivalent relationship with the 80s - I have vague memories of Commodore 64 and getting our first CD player, love late 80s stuff!
Where are all the commercials for the countless medications that we have today? Seriously. Every other commerical on tv is for some new med that cures this this and this, showing families on sunny days having a good time.
That’s because the tv demographics have drastically changed. Only (mostly) people over 50 watch tv a lot....and they happen to need medications! The under 50 crowd is here watching TH-cam, or streaming.
Cat fancy, the Playboy magazine for cats! lol just look at the centerfold! lol The commercial where the guy that designed the Ferrari, designed that ugly car! lol WTF man! He was nowhere around for comments! I can't stop laughing! I LOVE your videos! Thanks for the ride Dave!
'Problem with your refreshment system?' That commercial was the main reason they were making such a big deal of the price tag! originally they were gonna be about $80 per unit. (Pretty standard for the time!) But Pepsi paid so much $$$ to have the ad added on, it shave the price to a third!
I'm LMAO @ "Cat Fancy" / Cat Lady Monthly but lets be real here, for what was to come, these guys were on the absolute cutting edge, living in the year 2020 already (me when I see the forum is called "The Litter Box") -dead
I grew up in NY aka the Nanny State, so that thing looks like it’s not street legal😂 Cops would always be pulling it over for missing the whole back side😂....just a couple of seats just lashed to the floorboard. (As a side note, nothing was better than riding in the back of a pickup truck...and nobody died...rebel times, dude👍🏻)
1:30 hey it's that rascal from family guy. That show had so many little references from 1980s culture that I'm only realising from watching these commercials
Actually... they were usually $80 a pop before that! Pepsi paid so much $$$ to ad a commercial at the front of the tape, it dropped the unit price to a third!
The studios were worried that the vhs market would kill theater industry so they jacked up the prices for home video. They were wrong. It became streaming services 35 years later that hurt the theater industry. I remember we paid nearly $50 for titanic on vhs (2 tapes). Still have it.
@@CamaroAmx The price also made rental places a much needed service. It's hard to remember VHS being so expensive. Nowadays, you just buy everything.... crazy times. I miss them.

It’s all about perception. Commercials always showed people living their best lives and having a great time. In reality, moments like that are few and far in between. But commercials glorify those good happy moments to trick you into thinking if you use or buy their product, then you’ll have far more moments like in the commercials or even your whole life will be like that.

This Is GOLD. I try to forget I live In 2021 everyday , and would do anything to be In 1987 now.

Wow, this set of commercials seriously have the 80s vibe going on! What do you think?
Yes! 80s to the max!
87-88 Was the Pinacle of The Decade! What a Country Should Have Went 2-3 Seasons Minimum! 😂🤙📼

I was 22yrs old having the time of my life , still living at home.
I could almost be sure that at 8:46 the Hyundai commercial has Fred Gwynne(Herman Munster) doing the voice for the commercial.
Yakov Smirnoff had the smallest window for any human possible to get a TV show and he took it and got one. Mad Props to him.
What a country!
Ever see the bit Ben stiller did on him???
That show must have been full of stereotypes.
Yes.
87 was a STELLAR year! Came home from my 1st year of College & thought all that & a canister of Pringles!
I miss the classic Jack n the Box commercials. Something about that music just brings back good nostalgic feelings.
1:45 She was Christie Masters in Romy & Michelle’s High School Reunion!
She was also in one ep of friends when Ross and Phoebe dated that divorced couple
And all she heard was appearantly Fajita Pita
Yep and She was also on Seinfeld once as one of Jerry’s girlfriends
Something about knowing these are from where from is weirdly really comforting
Happy Easter 🐰 in 2021.
Just got home and decided to travel back in time and watch this.
Just think-without Cat Fancy magazine we would never have a plethora of cat videos.
Let that sink in.
no, cuz ancient egypt
Yes.

The squeaky voice blonde at 11:10 for tbe Arco commercial is Arleen Sorkin best known as the voice of Harley Quinn on Batman TAS.

Omg I had cat fancy magazine subscription as a kid!!!!!

Fajita pita commercial with actress Rose Byrne.. that's pretty hilarious.
things were much better back then, taco bell
3:14 That has to be some fantastic orange soda
LOL! Good one! And the jingle singer is Phoebe Snow.
$26.95 to own a movie! 😳😳😳😳
thought they were going to show the TOP GUN pepsi commercial, which was also shown before the movie on the vhs tape
'Problem with your refreshment system?' That commercial was the main reason they were making such a big deal of the price tag! originally they were gonna be about $80 per unit. (Pretty standard for the time!) But Pepsi paid so much $$$ to have the ad added on, it shave the price to a third!
Good.
$26.95 for Top Gun in 1987? That’s expensive that movie would cost $63 in today’s money.
Seriously 👀
@@Saint.questions Yeah it had better came autographed with a t-shirt for that price lol.
This pricing really made the movie rental places a needed service. Crazy how things used to be...
That Burger king jingle has nothing on the McDonald's jingle of the same era. The Arco jingle was quite good though😊
That high pitched voice sounded weird on vhs. Made her sound like she was speaking Finnish or something lol

What a good year and top gun heck yea
Baboo Bhot doing commercials for Midas. Awesome 👌
2 burgers for a buck? What kind of magic is this???
Makes up after buying top gun on VHS for the low price of $26.95
Burgers were dirt cheap until the late 90s-early 2000s. Even in the 70s you could a burger from McDonald’s for $0.20.
No idea.
27 bucks for top gun in 1987. Geez 27 bucks in todays time is still a lot for a blue ray movie.
And it took only a year for it to hit VHS.
Yes.
Damn?! 27dls a VHS cassette.. I guess movies haven't really change in price...
Actually... they were usually $80 a pop before that! Pepsi paid so much $$$ to ad a commercial at the front of the tape, it dropped the unit price to a third!
@@thrashpondopons2776 thanks. For the info..
I wonder how many people drove their Camry into lakes from that commercial?
$26.95 for TopGun on VHS in 1983 -> 2023 $70.41
