It's like then the adverts were kind of about how we could be the best we could be, they were imaginative and progress conscious and looked like a lot of effort, creativity and love went into them. Adverts today just pander endlessly.
Yep, many of the commercials during that time were futuristic cool, featured sunshine and a beach setting, and the nightlife/city lights. Also they featured more romance/sensuality-- lots of flirtatious glances exchanged between men and women. I was a kid during the 80s and I remember that time fondly.
not really, every decade has obnoxious cheesiness, some decades have better cheese than others, pre-2015 is like colby jack but now we have cheap dollar store american with post 2015 commercials
I don't what it is, but I just love that 80's aesthetic. I still have a few memories of that era, being born in 1983. It's cool to admit that considering I still get mistaken for 23 today.
I remember my parents had a vhs of soap operas recorded in the summer of ‘88. I would watch it all the time when I was a kid-not for the soap operas but for the commercials. Being born in ‘92, I missed the 80s but always loved all things 80s. The commercials from this decade were a vibe!!! Thanks for putting this together!!
@@TheLegohead2000 A lot of today's problems can be traced back to the politics of the 70s and 80s. Although back then we didn't have the internet so if you weren't home to watch the 6 o'clock news, you missed out on the bad things happening in the world.
These are just the most futuristic 80s commercials. I can assure you that most 80s commercials were low-quality and cheesy (think of the Full House opening credits).
@@DonaldTrumpsDankMemeStash Yes, it's true not all the commercials had a futuristic vibe, however, that was a major theme considering this was the 80s when there was much discussion about space travel and sci fi was a highly popular genre. Overall there were a greater a variety of commercials than what you see today and more effort went into the production. You had some family oriented ones as you mentioned which can seem cheesy by today's standards but they could also be fun and I definitely wouldn't call them "low quality". There were also other themes like those with an 80s sports montage, people having fun at the beach, people dancing, or a cool or sexy vibe, etc. Some of the commercials here aren't even particularly futuristic in tone, for instance the Big Mac tonight and Ford Mercury commercials captured more of a cool nightlife vibe(young people today don't seem to go out at night as often) while others feature style and fashion. As an 80s kid, I have great affection for that time.
@@jag5014 Yes, everything was better just because it was the 80s. Automatically means it was good! Also, how do you know young people go out less often? You're old, so how would you know?
There's a director/cgi artist that was responsible for many of these types of commercials during the 80s. I wish I could remember his name because there's a collection of his commercials somewhere on youtube.
Me too!! The 80's gives me warm fuzzy memories of coming of age. Today seems so bleak in comparison. Yes, this was advertising, so everything is hyped, but still.
9:50 "hey we need to tell kids to stop playing near power lines" "how about we make a robot do it and make it look really fun" "How will that stop them from doing that?" "we tell them to play safe"
When I read job search results, there was a job for teaching a university upper level class that looked like an abbreviation for design or something. I searched for the course on Google and found a directory of folders from several related departments like marketing and supply chain management, and browsed a few before the site locked me out without university computing credentials. Anyway, I like this vaporwave commercial compilation it could be useful in those types of university courses
The 80's-90's was such an interesting time, back then, the future was now, and there was nothing even close to the optimism/futuristism the 80's-90's brought (the 50's is a close 2nd place)
Back when they made quality over quantity. I have a Mitsubishi CRT that still works till this day, and it’s being used as a CCTV monitor. I have a Hitachi CD player paired with a Technics Dolby Stereo, and it’s the best sound quality I’ve ever heard of.
I kinda wish this style of living was still around but our electronics and media would change like they did. The futuristic of the 80s mixed with the hyperrealism of games and the easy touch of iphones, laptops, etc Now that's the future we should be living in.
I was born in 1997 and we never seen stuff like this we had a different type of nostalgia but damn I feel like we took a huge step backwards after watching these commercials
Oh man, is Hitachi still around? They made this tiny vcr tv that ran for like 30 years. They made really quality technology, but I can't remember the last time I saw Hitachi in stores

Proof that the 80s was the most aesthetically futuristic decade so far.
Crazy right? The 80s are more futuristic than now. I guess it's like the saying goes time repeats itself
It's like then the adverts were kind of about how we could be the best we could be, they were imaginative and progress conscious and looked like a lot of effort, creativity and love went into them. Adverts today just pander endlessly.
@Roof Access Haha true, I think that was the last era to put in effort for futurism.
Pity it was only VHS, tho’ ...
@@NostalgiCrazy true
but how can we avoid modernism ?
people can fight it all they want but eventually futurism will win
Everything was chill in the 80s

@@californio1850 mhm.
Awesome. This provokes me a weird feeling of nostalgia from a time when I didn't exist...
the word for that is called "Anemoia" - Nostalgia For A Time You've Never Known.
@@LukaStormer that's so cool! I didn't know there was a word for that
I feel the same ! Maybe it's something from my parents 😉 cause I feel like I not only do I want to be in this time, I was around in this time🙂
EXACTLY!
SAMEEEE OMG
The 80s seems like an artistic parody of itself
Right? I see Vaporwave today and think that it has to be an exaggerated version of the 80s and 90s but nope. The 80s and 90s were legit Vaporwave AF.
not really, every decade has obnoxious cheesiness, some decades have better cheese than others, pre-2015 is like colby jack but now we have cheap dollar store american with post 2015 commercials
Futuristic and at the same time archaic or obsolete. Very interesting
😂😂
“Future Primitive”
Some of these are seriously weird. But the aesthetic is so fun to look at. Better than today's dumb commercials
Dylan M Exactly!
Fr. I feel like they were more creative back then
Agreed!
Braulio Alvarado Same!
Ikr they could at least make them look eye catching
I was born in 76, so was fortunate to remember being a child in the 80s. It was a pretty good time to be a kid I can say that.
I don't what it is, but I just love that 80's aesthetic. I still have a few memories of that era, being born in 1983. It's cool to admit that considering I still get mistaken for 23 today.
So you are a 36 year old furry?

The 80s was so eager to prove itself as futuristic and cutting edge 😂
The creativity for these commercials is astronomical
The 80s can return on modern era if people allow it
Get rid of smartphones and streaming and bring bac Vinyl and CDs and the fashion
So colorful and futuristic
80's were so much more futuristic, than 2019, 30 years later...
What happened humanity?
I wAs BoRn In ThE wRoNg GeNeRaTiOn

Donald Trump's Dank Meme Stash Same!!!
Maybe it was all that crack
everything was extra during the 80s and i love it
Yep. Including the hair 😂😂
The 80s were the best. The 80s was mad futuristic. Somehow we went back to nothing

Nothing beats the 80's cool future we were promised!
The 80s is the future I want, not the one we have!
I was a kid in the late 80s, so anything 80s, pretty sunsets, neon lights, and hairspray smells give me a loootttt of nostalgia. 😩😭😭
The Sharp commercials bring a tear to my eye.
Those were the days...
Sharp and Sears...what a time, now they're barely alive...if alive at all.
I want one of those cars just for the aesthetic
Hell yeah 😍😍😍😍😍😍

This is nuts, i just saw that video before this one and the weird thing is that this video wasn't in my recommendations, i searched for this myself
I must be trippin balls or you just edited your original comment bruh
The 1980s was better than today. Just look at how amazing their world was. Even the commercials are exciting
Awesome job at compiling all these together. I was an 80s pre teen to adult (age 10 to 20) and it was and is still my favorite decade. 💛💙💜💚💋🕶
Me too!! The 80's gives me warm fuzzy memories of coming of age. Today seems so bleak in comparison. Yes, this was advertising, so everything is hyped, but still.
Back when mtv was literally a music television. Oh how i miss those days.
The best aesthetic of them all.
I miss this world
Only if I had a time machine....
God Bless you Sir
When I say Sharpe, I mean business! Damnit!!
I’m obsessed with that one
What an EXCELLENT compilation!!! Exactly what I been looking for

The back massagers relieve every nerve in your body to the core

Great MTV commercials hahaha
"Chevy. Chevy. Astro. Astro." I totally remember that commercial!
These are where all my VectorWave ideas come from.
This was back in the day when people made actual effort!!🖤💕
5:44 this one is my favorite.
Awesome The 80s where the FUTURE 🌍💥📀☇
We are now going back 🗣👤👥

I love this 💙
OMG JUST TAKE US BACK!! I JUST WANNA GO BACK TO THIS TIME!!💖💞✨
I never realised how much the 80s was influenced by Sci-Fi
Bring back the 80s!
I love you Vaporwave. Forever
0:15 David Bowie in a JAPANESE COMERCIAN, Dressed Like An A SERIAL KILLER???
Must be Yoshikage Kira...
Oh man, I loved every second of this.
Man, The 80’s was So Awesome, Too Bad I was Born in 1993!

2:41 fav part
The 80s is the Past and the Future at the same time
I want that Pontiac Sunbird Turbo. I want it now.
This is more retrowave
I called my dad over to see if he recognized any of these
Did he?
me siento en el año 3000 viendo esos comerciales
THIS is why we love the 80s! 😎
i need a reaction video to this
Oh man… this is perfection.
Nice jacket Billy Idol. Rebel!

Neo retro combines aesthetics from the 80s 90s and early y2k into a new paradigm. We're barley getting into this retro modern future reality.

It's interesting how FF drivetrains were so desirable when they first hit the market and now it's considered a very boring layout.
5:10 Even now thats a cool idea lol Edit: If commercials were like this nowadays I'd watch them for hours.
I have such a bizarre connection to this time period. Not sure why.
How can I miss a place I’ve never been I feel like I’ve seen all this and lived it before it’s so strange it’s like deja vu
Past life?
I kinda wish this style of living was still around but our electronics and media would change like they did.
The futuristic of the 80s mixed with the hyperrealism of games and the easy touch of iphones, laptops, etc
Now that's the future we should be living in.
Yessssss
EXACTLY!!!
I love this car Ads omgggggg😍😍😍
You can thank the success of Star Wars for this.
Funny how these look so surreal and goofy like a modern parody but no this was it
I thought 2020 with electric vehicles was futuristic but the 80s
DAYUM
Lol
@@diannaparis Wow, I forgot this comment was made 3 months ago, time flies fast
I LOVE THEM AND THOSE SONGS
I was born in 1997 and we never seen stuff like this we had a different type of nostalgia but damn I feel like we took a huge step backwards after watching these commercials
THIS IS WHY I WISH I GREW UP IN THE 80S AAAAAA 😭
That Renault advert wins.
My favorite too. That's how you do it.
i wish they still played music videos and stuff. :(
This was supposed to be the future
We failed the 80s 😭
Oh man, is Hitachi still around? They made this tiny vcr tv that ran for like 30 years. They made really quality technology, but I can't remember the last time I saw Hitachi in stores
80s commercials are much more fun compared to now 😭
coke savage af
+this must be the inspiration for "rap god" video
Huh? I think most of us come here to escape the modern day travesty that is rap music.
There's something wrong, i can feel it

if retrofuturism has a permanent home, it is clearly the 80s.
The sound effects 😂😂
Chevrolet ad song reminded me “ they don’t care about us”😂
imagine it with a yung bae song
good sound 0:57 fx in this ad
The 80s were golden. What is the music from the 1st Sony ad?
Thnx BB
This is how advertising is done.
0:56 lol this one always makes me laugh
If only hitachi new how much that slogan rings true now. Thanks magic wand
Can someone please tell me how these were done? Especially the Sony one and others like it.
Those were the days before the reality TV shows and pc culture damb we could have been advanced
Make me dream about that in night
I feel like just like the 60s thought the future is gonna be all chrome, 80s just thought the future is gonna be all 3d and neon, wish jt might be
Japan product advert on US tv.
I love this compilation, would I be able to use it for a twitch stream ? With credit ofcourse ?
Of course!
