I've always remembered waking up on the morning of Sunday January 31, 1982, and saying, "Daddy, I am seven years old today." It is the first birthday I remember having
I would really love to go back in time to see all of these shows and commercials again in real time. I remember them as if it was yesterday! Life just seemed so simple, clean and original back then.
How I wish I could go back to 1982. Carefree teenage years the 1980's. Great music, Films, TV and the USA without terrorism and gentrification. Old family values.
I was 12 too. I think we really just didn't hear everything that went on. We didn't watch the news, didn't have social media. We were kids and innocent of it all. That's the way it should be. Children should just be allowed to be children. But we are inundated with information now. All at our fingertips.
I was a senior in high school. Later that year, my mother would have a massive stroke that disabled her. We were evicted from our home and I had to drop out of college to support the family. I love the era, but my life is better now.
I often joke that 1982 ( when I was 16 years old) was my last good year and its been down hill ever since....love that time of life and how things were. :)
Slap Shot!! That film was on quite a bit. I remember when they would show cool late-70s early 80s films like The Warriors and Night Shift. Fun times but so long ago! :0
Thanks for the ads! I was in my twenties all during that decade, and I was stress free and had a lot of good, clean fun.There was the AIDS scare, which was very real, and little kids got abducted more then, however there was less stress then as opposed to now.
Is it true that more children were abducted then? My young childhood was during the 80s. I remember my mother and school teaching us "stranger danger" and seeing kids on milk cartons. :( Back then we were easily protected by evil. Now its nearly impossible to protect our children.
@Renee child abduction is statistically rare when it's done by a stranger. The crime rates are lower nowadays, but the constant, worldwide news makes it seem like the opposite.
I was in the 8th - 9th grade living in Brooklyn in 1982. I remember Eastern airlines. It was one of the major airlines at the time.My family flew Eastern many times. We had to go to a travel agent to purchase tickets. They were printed in triplicate with all these long numbers. The narrator of this commercial was the same man who did Forensic Files years later. That voice is so distinct.
Times were definitely simpler in these days. Was there stress? Yes and was there crime and corruption definitely just not as much and not nearly as much exposure. The worlds more dangerous today and wicked.
But there is light-hearted music and comedies and TV shows that were warm-hearted to balance everything out. And it was common for people to go dancing on the weekends and release stress
"You can cross your legs in a Nissan Stanza," unless you're over 5'6. Also, it was pretty rare to see Brooke Shields not garishly dolled up in 1982. And the guy playing her hairdresser looks like the actor who was in the Fox TV Series based on the movie "Alien Nation."
At 3:56 you didn’t click quick enough Lol. I’m to old to be traded again . Good movie slap shot. Paul Newman . This is Awesome how you put these classic commercials I remember January in 1982 I just just got Promoted at 18 years old the beginning of a 33 year career in the solid waste industry i was a garbage man in Maywood California.
Oddly enough, I like checking out how things have changed with the inflation calculator. $359 in 1982 would translate with cumulative rate of inflation of 167.3% to equal something like $959.71 in 2020.
So this is all you received out of a few great older commercials? In 1982 Detriot was going strong , we have a imported Japanese cars since the 60s. But we didnt have all the cheap Chinese crap one sees today !! We need to quit importing there crap and make our own crap and keep the greedy unions out !! The Democrats and unions who back them with our dues has ruined our economy add Clinton and NAFTA in and ordinary people were doomed !! However Reagan didnt help with his amnesty B.S, bring in 3 million 40 years later you have 50 million plus all the illegals now !! In these commercials I am not being told how to think , the females are clothed, the men look like men !!
My first bong was a Wella Balsam bottle. Weed was mostly brown back then and didn't taste anything like today's science fiction weed, so we didn't mind the perfume. Tell me your first bong story.
Everything was better during these times, even the commercials. I doubt in 40 years my son will want to watch commercials of the 2000’s, they just aren’t as good, nor will stand the test of time. Oh to have a time machine!
Its amazing how beautiful, that mrs sheilds, is in the wella shampoo , commercial she is so very cute. God blessed beauty she if today of Tuesday- November 3rd 2020, mrs sheilds, is still beautiful. If i am ever blessed to meet her ill tell her how she is thankyou.
it's so weird and funny american TV commercials don't differ much from german commercials. unfortunately we never saw them though but we had all the tv shows from the US like heart to heart, happy days and so on... awww memories :-)
I was in 8th grade in 82.BEST time ever to be a kid. No computers no cell phone no cable tv unless you were a city kid. No mask no fake virus. The list goes on....
Because almost everything we see and hear is fake !! Even when a family member repeats most things it is fake because they learned it from fake news or ppl trying to inbed something into our minds !! The evil in the United states really started badly in 2000 after 2001 it became worse with the corporate greed , and MSM lies, truly evil politicians, Hollyweird ( they are all the same ) . Then in 2010 things truly started going straight to hell. When a family of sluts are made into almost billionaires for living like sodom and gommoria lmao we know up is now down and vice versa!! Ppl truly attacking ppl in the United states of America for voting conservative ? I miss the times when children were children or maybe I just didnt know about these things , because I wasnt subjected to the hate that is always pushed into our faces now!! My sons watched good shows and , played outside in the 80s, they were out playing from morning , then would come in for good, cold drinks , back to swimming in the river, playing baseball, camping out, working with there grandpas on cars . I miss those days.....
And we didn't have to look at ugly tattoos and the women dress pretty it was affordable to dress pretty anybody could do it it's so many affordable dress shops and shoes. Re Scott dancing in the 80s and we always were pretty dresses and shoes it was really a lot of fun 🎉
Jason Bertalotto Yep. 1st person: What’s that stuff you rub on your skin to loosen up your muscles? 2nd person: Ben Gay? 1st person: Really?! How long? 😆😆😆 We were easily amused.
15:23- This must be referring to an incident where a Colombian couple and their two kids, under the age of 2, were shot overnight on the Grand Central Parkway after meeting up with another car. There was a large amount of cash, a gun and documents not belonging to the victims when found. The police went to their apartment and found the $15 million drug stash, more arsenal and more falsified passports. The building still stands today, it's known as the Camelot.
The future-where we cut out the movie and watch the commercials instead.
The commercials were the best part....
@@dalemulholland9114 these commercials blow my mind its like a lesson in media control. before media became out ruler
I've always remembered waking up on the morning of Sunday January 31, 1982, and saying, "Daddy, I am seven years old today." It is the first birthday I remember having
Uh oh,you should remember at least 2 or 3 years before that. I’m hoping there wasn’t something awful that happened that you blocked out
Seems the 1st one I remember was my fourth. I've had 55 since then, the most recent being June 10.
I would really love to go back in time to see all of these shows and commercials again in real time. I remember them as if it was yesterday! Life just seemed so simple, clean and original back then.
Yes it was
Better times from a better era ! I was born in 1967 .
I loved it I'm always watching these and the cartoons tv shows etc etc.
Four decades later, still loving these.
Ahhhhhhh back when life was stress free as a 10 year old
@Uintabri I was a whopping 26 days old on this day. LOL! Hard to believe.
Yeah very chill the 2008 economic crisis had a lot of us calm
I agree. Reminds me of a different life.
I was a toddler too I saw they mentioned WABC 7 that’s our call letters here in NYC
I was 12. Simpler time...
Less than a month before I was born and made this world awesome.
The 80's really were a different decade than any that came before it.
How I wish I could go back to 1982. Carefree teenage years the 1980's. Great music, Films, TV and the USA without terrorism and gentrification. Old family values.
Robert NYGUY Absolutely! I'd love to go back.
os tisho mynd nol i 1982, dos i Gnarfon, cont! ;)
Robert NYCGUY Raised on Records yes
Some of your memories are just nostalgia. For instance, when you mention "old family values" I remember that the divorce rate peaked in 1981.
I do miss being able to say goodbye to people as they boarded a plane 🙁
I was twelve when these ads aired, and I'm not sure if the world was really simpler then. Sometimes I think we just knew less about it.
Ellemjay I was 12 also👍🏻
I was 12 too. I think we really just didn't hear everything that went on. We didn't watch the news, didn't have social media. We were kids and innocent of it all. That's the way it should be. Children should just be allowed to be children. But we are inundated with information now. All at our fingertips.
I was 13 years old
I love a lot of things about that time, but we tend to forget how close we were to nuclear war then.
Yes - it was we who were simpler. It wasn't simple for our parents.
Wow!!! Mork and Mindy!!! Miss Robin Williams soooo much!!!
I NEED A TIME MACHINE
I was a senior in high school. Later that year, my mother would have a massive stroke that disabled her. We were evicted from our home and I had to drop out of college to support the family. I love the era, but my life is better now.
I’m so sorry that happened to you
May God bless you for your faithfulness to your family. ✝️
I often joke that 1982 ( when I was 16 years old) was my last good year and its been down hill ever since....love that time of life and how things were. :)
You were right
This brings back a lot of memories. I was 13 yrs old.
Skipping the YT commercials to watch old commercials is peak meta
That ABC Sunday Night Movie musical theme...killer.
Slap Shot!! That film was on quite a bit. I remember when they would show cool late-70s early 80s films like The Warriors and Night Shift. Fun times but so long ago! :0
Saw that movie with my HS boyfriend & little bro.
This aired one week before the t.v. premiere of Superman the movie!
I LOVE SLAPSHOT!
Great memories, good ol days.
The year I was born:'( I miss the 80s and 90s
I was 7 man Saturday mornings was life for me... a bowl of cereal... great memories
Slap Shot? LOL. I can't imagine how much they had to edit that movie to make it appropriate for TV in 1982.
Thanks for the ads! I was in my twenties all during that decade, and I was stress free and had a lot of good, clean fun.There was the AIDS scare, which was very real, and little kids got abducted more then, however there was less stress then as opposed to now.

Thank you for great memories as I was 16 in 1982.
I had just turned 9 in December of 1981. I couldn’t tell you what was on tv. But it’s great to see what I missed
Pannoni8: THANK YOU for these fine uploads and even leaving in the news briefs!

Peter thomas narrated forensic files
Yep..Peter Thomas...a voice that was unique.
I was 18 yrs old in 1982 good times
You’re so old😅
And that’s a blessing😊
19:47 I remember my mom saying that if one of those really fast trains had an accident, the people on board would turn to powder.
Times were definitely simpler in these days. Was there stress? Yes and was there crime and corruption definitely just not as much and not nearly as much exposure.
The worlds more dangerous today and wicked.
But there is light-hearted music and comedies and TV shows that were warm-hearted to balance everything out. And it was common for people to go dancing on the weekends and release stress
True, there was always evil. We just faced it with more optimism back then.
Slap Shot....Great Movie!

I love the 80's
In January of 1981, I was 6 years old, living in Thousand Oaks, California. Still remember some of these ads and the jingles.
03/21/81
Haha! I was 8, living in TO.
There were probably 20% less ad breaks back then, than there are now.
"Slap Shot!" Love it!
Wella Balsam was my favorite shampoo in the world
I love watching these old commercials, watching now-obscure companies taking direct aim at companies that are still around today.
Gosh i was only a month old on this date.
Wella Balsam! Wow!
Do they even make that anymore 2020?
When life was good
I still remember morris the cat's lazy voice.
John Erwin still alive. Did He-Man's voice too.
1982: Fat orange Morris
2020: Fat orange Donald
Michelle Post I was 20 at this time, can relate!

I remember The ABC Sunday Night Movie promotion. Usually, the featured movie in that program was very very good.
No covid 19. These were the days
Still had constitutional rights, these were the days😊
@@dimviesel Don't know about you but I sure as heck have my Constitutional rights and exercise them daily pal.
Thank you for sharing this
Gotta love Morris
Mork& Mindy, Three's Company, Laverne & Shirly, Happy Days, Dynasty, Greatest American Hero, Hart to Hart
What I love the best about 70 & 80s No ASK YOUR DOCTOR ADS
three's company always made me laugh still
@Jamie Newman Wow! You attend the tapings?
@Jamie Newman Mr. Fell was nice and had a dry sense of humor. Loved his smile as he looked at the camera
@Jamie Newman I liked John, he was funny, caring, and sensitive. He once said: Who we are is not our bodies, it is who we are in the inside.
@Jamie Newman My pleasure. I remember him, your aunt, and Suzanne Somers autographing Lauri Hendler’s 3’s Company T shirt.
@@jasonbertalotto2355 Laurie Hendler! There's a name from the past! Gimme a Break, High School USA.
The Jeep's in the snow and how fast they are driving with kids in the back with no seat belt! 🤪😂😂😂😂😂
I Remember Storm Field On Eyewitness News!
At around 9:45, the Eastern Airlines voice is also the Forensic Files guy!!
Yeah creepy 😬
Peter thomas...
I'm just here because I was born in 1982
Man, so cool
$359 for a weeks vacation WITH airfare... what happened?!
The same way that you could get up the World Trade Center for less than $3.
Inflation.
Oddly enough, I like checking out how things have changed with the inflation calculator. $359 in 1982 would translate with cumulative rate of inflation of 167.3% to equal something like $959.71 in 2020.
Perfect stoner TH-cam videos!
Cynewulf all I need is Chef Boy Ar Dee, You Tube and TKO.
So basically, 1982 was big for imported Japanese cars and shampoos?
Imported Japanese cars were popular since the late 1960s, and shampoos well before that.
So this is all you received out of a few great older commercials? In 1982 Detriot was going strong , we have a imported Japanese cars since the 60s. But we didnt have all the cheap Chinese crap one sees today !! We need to quit importing there crap and make our own crap and keep the greedy unions out !!

9:25 The Forensic Files Guy! Don’t want THAT vacation!
Yeah creepy
Morris the 9 lives cat looks just like my ginger cat Jay-Jay!
Not the way he looks now, I would imagine.
Slap Shot? What was the point of airing that on network TV? That edit must have been about 15 minutes long...
The day I turned 8 years old!
The year I was born!
Nice! This was my 10th birthday!!!
Wow. My family fleed El Salvadors civil war a year before this. 😭 I had 1 year to be born still.
I knew a secretary at my old JC lived in El Salvador the day 5 people were murdered and a bishop assassinated
Its amazing how beautiful, that mrs sheilds, is in the wella shampoo , commercial she is so very cute. God blessed beauty she if today of Tuesday- November 3rd 2020, mrs sheilds, is still beautiful. If i am ever blessed to meet her ill tell her how she is thankyou.
I know, right? She's barely aged at all!
it's so weird and funny american TV commercials don't differ much from german commercials. unfortunately we never saw them though but we had all the tv shows from the US like heart to heart, happy days and so on... awww memories :-)

Our own people turning terrorist...the list is endless how lousy this decade is to live in..
I agree. Liberals are terrorists.
It feels like its the real world there and this present day just feels so fake..
Skankhunt 42 Yeah. Today is like some sick twisted coma dream.
Exactly! scary!

Back when Jack in the Box offered the Junior Jack
today ben gay has a differnt meaning (2019)
To each his own definition.
It did then to trust me.
I used to joke about that with my in HS
Jason Bertalotto Yep.
1st person: What’s that stuff you rub on your skin to loosen up your muscles?
2nd person: Ben Gay?
1st person: Really?! How long? 😆😆😆
We were easily amused.
I had to skip the commercial so I could get back to the commercials I was watching.
Yeah I would have been 11 years old when this came out.
I turned 11 twenty-five days before this.
I'd develope a time travel machine and go back to 1982. Then beat off....oh, I dont need a time machine to do that.....oooh.

Who did the voice of Morris owner in the 9 lives ads?
Robin Neher I love Morris and miss his campy self!
Wow I was born in 82
I used to hate to watch commercials, I wish we had Adblock when I was a kid.
And now you're watching them voluntarily 😁
wow i remember the sparklers
Me too! Isn't it funny how you don't even realize they don't make some of this stuff until you watch old commercials!
I was a 15-year-old high school sophomore when this aired.
When television was innocuous.
Yes it was. Unpredictable moments seem fun
I guess this is WABC channel 7 New York
40 years later ...
Back in ‘82, I could throw a pigskin a quarter mile.
I was 9 months old lol.
Brooke Shieldes WELLA sempre linda!
My girlfriend in 1983 used Wella Balsam. And then after the break up I still smelt the Wella Balsam from her hair on my car head rest. :-(
Who does the voice-over at 1:20? I remember his voice well.
The 80s was peak-America.
At 4:16, that's Norman Rose doing the voice-over, right?
