80's Commercials Vol. 14

[goldstud]

one of my fav memories of the 70's and 80's was digging through the cereal box for the actual cool toy that used to be buried inside the cerea and for some reason the toy was always at the bottom so i would always dump out the entire box for the toy and mom and dad would get hella pissed at me, loll, nowadays things the few things that are found in the cereal box are tucked between the box and the plastic bag. but most stuff today you have to send for.

[gmjjack]

that alphabet cereal commercial sounded like the kids were swearing...cool!

[optimusprime23able]

I'm guessing that those alpha bits were spiked with hallucinogens in that commercial to make those kids see and hear those things. LOL

[darktetsuya]

thumbs up just for the seatbelt song, LOL... thanks for these XD (not just this but like all of them)

[Girlvivalist]

I had a Keyper! I had the swan.

[Nox0verstreet]

Vern loves Frosted Flakes. They're Great!



[MlcheaIJackson]

Why couldn't Barney just buy his own box of Coco Pebbles?

[Johnlindsey289]

Oh man i remember COPS, that show was awesome and the toys were cool. I had those TF pretenders, I saw the Fox and The Hound in this re-issue when i was 6 2 times in theaters and had a readalong book with cassette plus stuffed Todd, i was disappointed it took 7 years to come to video for i wanted it but i did bought it the first day when it came to video when i was 12.

[laichi16]

4:41 Damn, look at that cart full of toys for a $1,000!! Today, you can only get 1/3 of that. THE FOX AND THE HOUND!! I gotta pull that movie back out and watch it again. Ah, the Tootsie Roll Pop. I tried to find out how many licks it took, but I lost count.

[bowy2bob]

Skip Stik!

[shuaduah]

@bowy2bob faster,FASTER! lol I thought it was funny even as a kid.

[Mazmorrero2]

$2 for listening an eastern story? Damn! Were those stories written by David S Goyer?

[StormsongK]

Ahh yes, Entertech. "Nothing looks like 'em"...because the originals were so realistic they were being mistaken for actual guns. Man, those were so cool, though. We were so excited about motorized water guns we didn't care they barely had any range. I still have that orange shotgun, but I don't think it works very well anymore. Good times!

[MattTheSaiyan]

Just say NO to "The Flintstones Kids".

[Rahbinah]

976, Dial a joke, Dial a bunny, Dial a Dummy, 976-dial-soap

[flipgood89]

@Rahbinah ....lol. Funny what kids did in those days to pass the time away before the internet.

[ChristmasApe1]

The "Spring Bunny"?!!!!!!! Was all this PC BS already starting up in the late 80?!!

[rchookie]

@ChristmasApe1 I agree!!!! I nearly fell out of my chair!!!

[parlet]

The Spring Bunny looks like he got beat with a WTF stick.

[Hethrin]

Hmm, are those guns at 4:30 the reason why Super Soaker looks less....realistic?

[AurielleL21]

super soaker beats blaster

[TheBlackParade1293]

"Mr. Owl, how many licks does it take to get to the chocolatey center of a tootsie pop?"

"IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAND!"

[DavidTRichard]

Hey I have that red Blaster! YEAH! I never knew what it was called or where it came from. My life is complete.

[Romxero]

so crazy. I had to be like 3 or 4 when I used to watch these stations. I remember I used to record the tv with my brother and we would watch them. Years later I remember playing them back and thinking wtf haha. Then I think I recorded a bunch of porno over the tapes lol and then I threw them away, I wish I kept them! and uhumm... didn't record the porno over them...

[phoenixkittykat]

when i was lil i used to count the licks on tootsie roll pops... but half way through i lost count.. i guess the world will never know how many licks it takes :P

[XiaoGia96]

I WISH I WAS IN THE 80s!!!! EVERYTHING NOW IS CRAP!!!!! except for video games lol

[Itzpower]

I would always try to spell a swear word with the Alpha-Bits and give it to my younger cousin to see if he notice the lovely message.

[texacobigred42]

19. "Yabba dabba Click It or Ticket"...

[Baltimoreman78]

God...the late 80's were filled with all these $2.00 Call-in lines. An man was Lucky a punk bitch. Not even Korean Grocery Store owners got jacked a much as that Leprechaun did.

[2dsteph]

i used to eat frosted flakes when i was little

[therainbowranger84]

The Soggies are Milk Men! LOL!

[gleeb0278]

That is definitely bobsledding.

[TNTITAN]

How come a complete breakfast almost always includes juice and milk? I seen people drink juice or milk, but never both for breakfast. Also isn't that way too much butter on that toast in the first ad?

[bilfamily]

Alpha Bits (That little girl making the fire engine noise will haunt me forever) AND LOOK AT HER EYES...SO DISTURBING

[holbrooke7]

The Spring Bunny? Whut?

I wish Disney would re-release their older movies in theaters on occasion instead of on DVD.

[papasitoman]

Now I know where the WMD´s in Iraq went...damn those keepers and their capacity to hold secrets!

[seattlesfinestwrx]

Skip Stik is probably one of the most pointless inventions ever.

[ilovemayo123]

i was too young for those 976 numbers but when i was a kid, i would have for sure called them... the phone was one of the only things i was allowed to touch!

[PrettySkyminGirl]

WISH THAT TOY GIVAWAY WAS STILL GOUN ON! DX then I would buy all of deh Pokemon vgs!

[MeInTX]

Having not seen Flintstone Kids in about 20 years, I wonder if kid Barney sounded exactly like adult Barney on the show, while kid Fred sounded like an actual kid. Also, I never quite understood while, in the various Pebbles commercials, Barney would never just ask and/or Fred would never just offer to share. Weren't they supposed to be best friends?

[TNTITAN]

@MeInTX Well there was the famous Christmas ad where Fred did share his cereal with Barney, of course Barney had pretended to be Santa Claus first.

[MiltownPunkette21]

Ha! In the Frosted Flakes commercial, Tony and Jerry were luging before anyone knew what it was called or thought it was cool!

[80sCommercialVault]

But they're not luging...they're bobsledding. And both of those sports have been around since the latter half of the 19th century.

[MiltownPunkette21]

@80sCommercialVault-Looks like luging to me! :)

[pluto4847]

@MiltownPunkette21

I ate Frosted Flakes before I went on a bike race when I was 12, and you know what instead of winning the race, I had an upset stomach.

Thank you Tony the Tiger for false advertising.

[MiltownPunkette21]

@pluto4847 -Sorry to hear that......Frosted Flakes are too sweet for me, too :(

[ZILOGz80VIDEOS]

wow!!! luck used to share!

[CelesteK]

They were scams. If I remember correctly they charged 0.75 for the first minute and 1.00 for each aditional minute.

[corg22]

Did Tony The Tiger say those "glow locks" make a statement?

[shellybaby1621]

i want some lucky charms :D

[AvEryBadApPLe]

1:17 ...and the transformers jump the shark right about now.

[bresher]

I used to have tyko rc cars

[brian85013]

YABA DABA Buckle Up!

[TeamEdward1976]

I remember most of these commercials!

[shockwavesbug]

2:40 ITS SILENT HILL GIRL!!!!

[SixelaElocin]

I love this...thank you soo much...blast from the past~

[xContaminatedx]

They marketed The Fox aAnd The Hound as some kind of light-hearted wacky comedy, but in reality, it's one hell of a sad movie.

[domgproductions]

AAAAAUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH­HHH 2:40 creep...

[LadyStalker]

Captain Cruch sounds like he's constantly drunk.

[burgundyyears]

That alpha bits girls' impression of a fire truck @ 2:40 is quite creepy

[LudicrousScotty101]

COPS, I remember that cartoon,it came out around 86-87 or 88 i could be wrong!!

[sbmrunning]

lol@ barney ! "OH OH THIS ROCKS GOT TA ROLL ! " LOL ahahahahahaaaa !

[Pozorrogo]

We used to have such dignity when Lucky Charms didnt include stupid green hats

HAHAHA I LOVED THOSE KEEPER SNAILS OMG I had like 5 of them. In retrospect they were really stupid hahaha

rofl those girls look like theyre having too much fun smooshing their smooshies :O

Man, gotta love these old ass commercials!!

[fsa778]

335-skip stiks ROCK!

[celang35]

Baby/child version of cartoon characters like Flintstone Kids are just worthless.

[Pozorrogo]

The only good thing that came from the Flinstone Kids show was Captain Caveman ;D

[humhunny]

OMG love the side ponytail on 0:26

[plateshutoverlock]

I wonder if the cap gun in the COPS toy would even be allowed on the market today?

[dukes0916]

I saw that tootsie-pop add while watching Sat. Morn. cartoons with my dad in like 1971! And it is still effective (a-one, two-hoo... ttthree!) I remember COPS as well! It was like GI Joe... only more tough-in-cheek! And it was funny seeing Jerry O'Connell JUST after dropping all the weight! (I love the line in the recent Family Guy, where they point out that the 'fat kid' from Stand By Me is married to Rebbecca Romane!)

[tenoke1]

The owl ad first appeared in 1970

[F1315NJ]

is it me, or did the clowns at the Little Clowns segment sound a lot like Charles Adler and Tress MacNeille, the guys who voice Babs and Buster Bunny?

[80sCommercialVault]

Yes, they are. Both did tons of Voiceover work in the 80's.

[therainbowranger84]

@F1315NJ Charles, yes. Tress, i don't know.

[onenonlyprincess2]

That girl with the firetruck noise creeped me out

[LinkTheSamurai]

Isn't Jerry O'Connell the actor who played Vern the chubby kid from Stand By Me?

[Lagorditalinda17]

Why does the Lucky Charms leprechaun keeps looking different from the other Lucky charm commercials? Weird.

[Lagorditalinda17]

OMG I remember those stupid commercials to call the easter bunny and many others. I called "DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince", better known as Will Smith! LOL And they always say to ask your parents permission before you dial but we never do cause we think they wont find out. And yes, I got in big trouble.

[scarlettfreeland]

I loved the cartoon "COPS"! I used to watch it all the time. I ask people about it now and they have no idea what I'm talking about.

[Lafours]

the boy cheated at the luge race...a cartoon tiger doesnt weigh a thing.

[TruWatcher]

The Tootsie Roll Pop ad is actually older than all the rest on here--a classic that dates back to the early 1970s at least. Interesting that it's had such a long life, kind of like the Life Cereal ad with Mikey.

[joeunion99]

I had the lime green Entertech gun!

[zombiedestroyr]

lol 4:23. gangster kid

[thekliciousshow]

thank you for sharing this! omg! the memories haha

[1weirdgurl]

wow time warp....like a total blast from the past lol.....I miss the 80's great time to be kid.

[seattlesfinestwrx]

If there's anything that's better now than it was in the 80s in terms of the commercials, the Lucky Charms guy sounds so much better.

[HisagiShuhei]

The alphabet one made me laugh so hard

[fattoler]

Sorry to be annoying but why do Americans just put a square of butter on toast rather than spreading it? It always seems to be the case in all of those cereal commercials.

[christLive21]

UR Right!!! Never notice B4. LOL!!!

[soundsfromnothing]

Actually, I've kind of wondered that myself. The commericals always show that. In most restaurants, when they serve pre-buttered toast, they spread the butter across. Some put the butter right in the middle though. Also, some restaurants have individual butters (in foil) in the shape of a square. I guess it just looks better. Everyone I know, though, always spreads their butter all the way across, first thing.

[fattoler]

I guess we will never know the answer, like how many licks does it take to get to the centre of a tootsie pop.

[soundsfromnothing]

LOL! That's true. Have you ever actually tried that BTW? I think I made it 10 minutes before biting. Grape Tootie Pops=my weakness. :p

[tenoke1]

In commercials, the pat of butter shows up better than having bread already spread with butter

[humhunny]

How long was the actual run of that Tootsie pop commercial? Anyone know?

[Aphoresis]

@fattoler

The square is cut from the stick and put on the toast so that the heat of the toast can BEGIN to melt it and then it is spread.

[ilovedisney84]

Well its basically done for display purposes before you eat it. like putting on sprinkles on ice cream or a spoonful of cream on a taco. Im not sure where it originated but when i have pancakes i do spread the butter lol

[alyfan1]

ok is it me or does the entertech guns look just like the "Zap it!" guns with the disappearing ink? now onto the just plain wrong. lets teach our kids to both hide things in animals and that its ok to squash bith people and animals for your enjoyment, lol god we were sick kids back then.

[thebigcalm]

yay i love lucky charms

[ItsLeah780]

omg lucky changed

[Libitina72]

"it all happend so rapidly"

[Libitina72]

why do owls always have graduation hats on?

[tenoke1]

Owls are supposed to be wise, so they have on the graduation hats.

[80sCommercialVault]

Nothing's more sad than an owl without a graduation hat.

[EKS511]

I forgot all about the seatbelt song of safety! I remember singing along to that.

[aoinatafanboy84]

What happens when Little brothers get daddy's hammers?

[pemagrey]

awesome! and many times i recall eating soggy captain crunch... not nearly as gross as soggy rice krispies

[TechandHelp]

cop cycle lol ;-)

[residualbill]

What do you say to a rabbit on the phone?

Uh, er, uh...hi...rabbit?...uh, w-what're you...wearing? Oh...that's...hot- I MEAN uh...

[residualbill]

Ah, Skip Stik. I have fond memories of the 5th grade and the girls at school playing with this, jumping up and down. It was when I first noticed they were developing. Thanks Worlds of Wonder. :)

[residualbill]

Oh, and I was in the 5th grade as well, so don't get the wrong ideas! XD

[PowerGlove79]

C.O.P.S, Central Organization Of Police Specialists "Fighting Crime In A Future Time"

[WebkinzFindStuff]

funny capn' crunch sounds drunk

[CelesteK]

Mace looks like a fully toothed Jack "O" Lantern. L.O.R.L.

[Aleal]

The Soggies were actually droplets of milk, which makes your average cereal soggy, but not Captain Crunch! Yeah, it doesn't make sense now either (I prefer the really old spots with Jean LaFoot the pirate and so on).

[VictoriaWinters1991]

Wow so many memories. Thanks for posting this. :)

[CaramelAnt]

Catching a crook makes Mace smile. Otherwise, he can't stop crying.

[iornman6]

6:03 2 dolars per call

[iornman6]

at 2:17 and 2:25 the indy cars crash into the walls! well i guess they did have malfunclions in the 80s.

[iornman6]

crap those white things are in lousina! they sidnt pay attion to the news i bet katrena got them.

[carlitosbug]

What was Squeeks the caterpillar doing from 7:00-7:01?

[PhanMaen]

[boredomsandwich]

[robtran]

Somebody is from the SF Bay Area. ;-) Or at least was, once upon a time.

I really dig these blasts from the past. Keep 'em up!

[coolmack24]

AT 7:19 the actor who plays brinky I think i heard his voice before somehwere.

[80sCommercialVault]

Voice actor Charlie Adler. He's been in countless cartoons over the years.
