  • 5:37 classic

  • Nosy bears eh? Now there's one thing about the 80's I missed.

  • I remember Nosy Bears! Those were so weird. Willow, hell yeah I used to love that film, in fact it was the only film I recall that made my cry.

    How old were you when Willow came out? I was five. Most of these commericals I would say are from Nov '87 and February '88.

  • My parents used to buy me the Wishworld Kids toys if I agreed to go to bed on time, lol.

  • Now that's the Cheerios Honey Bee I remember, lol.

  • The HE-MAN phone sex line.

  • @hitzingd Lol, yeah that phone line thing just sounded wrong, lol.

  • WILLOW was, is, and always will be the shit!

  • Oh no, I forgot my lunch... Thats okay, we'll share.. maple town and Me!

  • That anti-drug spot really starts out looking and sounding like an advertisement FOR drug use..."Gettin' into drugs and bein' high" sung enthusiastically to up-tempo synth backing while showing a bunch of cool kids dancing, skateboarding and having fun! Actually, it's pretty similar to the Hollywoods ad a couple spots later.

    Thanks for posting these; they're a lot of fun and bring back many memories--a few of them good!

  • Why were the kids so afraid of big bad mo and why does he want their cereal? What's the point and if the kids are so smart that they have a robot how come they can't build a trap for mo? Or a stronger fort? Or slash mo's tires? Thios commercial makes no sense.

  • That's an awesome rap, he's got street cred in my book, though not as much as the kid with the bubbles

  • Didn't the nosy bears have a cartoon once upon a time?

    Also does anyone know how the nosy bears came to be? i envision a lot of marijuana, and assorted illicit substances.

  • Sad thing is. I remember every commercial shown on here. I know theyv'e gotta be from 1988 cause that's when I remember seeing them. Wow do I ever feel old now.

  • I had a Nosy Bear!!! Too bad my mom got rid of it... -_-* The one doll I still have from the 80s is a Kid Sister.

  • I'm almost certain the brunette girl from the Wish World Kids commercial is Danielle Harris from "Halloween" and "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead" fame!! :D

  • I about cried when I saw the m and m's commercial..oh the memories!

  • Awesome stuff! i saw Willow 2 times in theaters when i was 6 going on 7 and had some of the merchandise and Heathcliff was an awesome toon, but he's no garfield but i did had a thing for Riff-Raft's sexy girlfriend Cleo for she was cute for a cat chick.

  • why does the super golden bear look so baked?! whats in that cereal!?

  • lol at the boxing game, i thought rocky on regular sega was bad

  • how many kids do you think got their parents permission before calling lol

  • @sacman1222 i kno i didnt lol

  • The Honey Comb commercial with Big Bad Moe couldn't be aired today, and that's a shame.

  • Wow, I had that "Wishroad Kid" set, and I had nearly forgotten it.

    What I haven't forgotten is getting up every morning to watch My Little Pony before school when I was in Kindergarten (88-89). It must have run earlier on the east coast as I had to catch the bus around 7:30.

  • man times are so new now in days man

    i remember when the commercials would come on and you would gather the whole

    family and kids around and sing and dance together throughout the whole commercial

    another form of family fun

    times are just not the same anymore

    thanks for youtube and the person who dedicate their time for this

    memory achieved

  • LOL! Heathcliff! Honeycome! Jetsons! AND Willow! The nostalgia is almost unbearable

  • @danaroxy19822040 I totally have the popcorn Nosy Bear.

  • 1981 born here, i remember these commercials but i did saw Willow in theaters when i was 6 turning 17 and loved it.

  • He-man phone sex

  • I love how in the 80's commericals had jingles and songs

  • back in the day when they would show cartoons every morning and every afternoon...why don't they anymore? oh yeah, tv sux now!

  • haha ken was a brunnete.

  • I watched that He-Man/She-Ra 1-900 commercial as a kid, and it's clear to me now that the voices for He-Man, Orko, and She-Ra lack feeling in it.

  • All these 80's toys look really fun, honestly today hardly see any cute toys for kids now a days like these were, -and that got kids to- BE KIDS, not freaking pop star wannabes and other crap- anyone agree?

  • nice judo wrestling throw he-man @ 0:42

  • LOL I had four of the maple town bears that were given to me by my aunt. I remember fighting them with my G.I joe in a massive battle

    some of the maple bears didn't make it.....R.I.P :-(

  • sugar bear is a pimp :)

  • @RockettGirl18

    hahah

  • he man is a spaz

  • A boy would want a barbie ferrari more than a girl lol

  • Say no to radioactive grbleclplatx! Because intergalactic crack is wack!

  • I wish I were old enough to have seen this in the theater ME TOO

  • It's not easy when you're new in town. Except when you have something that makes HUGE BUBBLES!

  • Omg! I made so many friends with bubble thing!..I use to make the biggest bubbles:..my friends never wanted to beat me up...... Never... They liked when I use to call them over so I can make the biggest bubbles...god I miss the 80s.. :)

  • I think that was around the time I got an Atari 2600 for Xmas with Desert Falcon and Ms. Pac-Man. Ahh... I miss that system.

  • damn it i want to call He man and She ra.

  • LOL didn't the Nostalgia Critic review that anti-drug psa? XD

  • i remember when all these commercials first came out,i used to tell my dad i cant wait till i get older so i can do this and that,its funny cause now im 33 yrs and back then i was 7 8 or 9,man time flys to quick i got kids almost in high school miss the 80s .they laugh at all of this, i got to admit now its funny but back then it was rad.

  • I used to love my Barbie Ferrari.

  • I love the 80s, but that Honey Nut Cheerios commercial, with the mentality of, "You can't possibly be having enough fun playing, you need to EAT!" is part of the reason we're all so obese today. Food can be fun, sure, but "Kids, are you bored? EAT something" is AWFUL programming.

  • @StormsongK Hard to believe, but besides being a source of entertainment, food is also a common source of nutrition too.

  • I wonder just how much of that $2.35 from the He-Man phone calls actually went to local science museums?

    I wonder if each state's attorney general's office sponsored the "Just Say No" ad in their own states, since I'm fairly certain that the California attorney general wasn't all that concerned about keeping Dallas/Fort Worth kids off drugs, and yet I saw that ad many, many, many times growing up.

  • @MeInTX It was here in Chicago too it was shown a lot

  • I am almost 29, and I remember all these comercials like they were yesterday...especially the anti drug one, I never understood what the plate was with the neon pills and syringe's.

  • @Cambria2007 It was a trash can lid. Not-so-subtle way of equating drugs with garbage.

  • The bubble thing is priceless. What the fuck?

  • Sonny can't seem to kick his Cocoa Puffs habit. Sad.

  • I actually liked the E.T. Atari game...And Enduro...and Pitfall 1 & 2...Math Grand Prix...

  • cocoa krispies, the perfect children's laxative.

  • That Barbie Ferrari was / looked like an exact 308 Ferrari that Tom Selleck drove in Magnum, P.I. Some of those toys i had never heard of back then, like Hooks...never heard of that one, that's a new one on me.

  • honey comb is nasty

  • I remember fighting over Surfin Sugar Bear with my brother and sisters when we found him.

  • "bubble thing"? and that's as creative a name as whammo could come up with?

  • atari 2600 hahaha my brother had one... what a crappy games... ET was the worst!

  • funny you mention Willow - I did see that movie in the theater! Great flick too

  • the bubble thing commercial is ridiculous and I totally forgot about Heathcliff!

  • WILLOW!

    That movie is one of my favorites! Seen it soooo many times!

    I can't believe it only got PG though. Would've thought PG-13.

  • Nobody famous, I'm sure.

  • I remember that Honey Comb commercial like it's yesterday lol. I remember my grandma bought that Atari 2600 for all the kids for under 50 bucks too. It came in a small red carry box,I so remember that. Funny how that one ad for Just Say No,but the people dancing in it looked like they were on drugs lol.

  • Kids don't have to get their parents permission nowadays to run up outrageous phone bills. They have their own cellphones. Even in kindergarten! God bless the 80s. Glad to have lived in it.

  • The girl at 5:27 at the end of the Hollywoods commercial is Stacey from The Baby Sitters Club tv series.

  • bubbles are huge

  • 9:03

    Never let Mattel get its Hooks into you. ;)

  • Hahaha. I busted for calling that stupid He-Man 900 number.

  • I remember Be An Original PSA..."you've got a righ-igh-ight to say no!" I guess that kept me off drugs.

  • It's laced with LSD

  • Um... Sam Waterston @ 1:41? Or maybe someone who looks like him?

  • Since when did Barbie have Magnum P.I.'s Ferrari lol

  • I wonder how long the He-Man story lasted.

  • Just long enough to rip you off !!!

  • Sugar Bear was a pimp! He was cooler n hell! No kids chasin him, no psychotic episodes when he got a taste of his cereal, he never tried to steal any cereal either! Sugar Bear was the pimp of cereal box characters!

  • I always felt bad for Warwick Davis! (You know he played wicket in Star Wars VI?) How can they give you 2nd billing in a movie when you are the title character? Kilmer wasn't even that big at the time! (Top Secret and Top Gun!) Side note: the queen's really hot daughter is his now X-wife. And those 900#s, In the 80's there were actually many levels of the 'call lines'. Some had trivia questions or corny jokes. I once called one with Darth Vader, where I was invited to "join the dark side"!

  • Force push @ 3:54 =) awsome

  • The crappy commercials now are always for prescription drugs, diets, or cell phones. Bring back the 80's. RIP Michael Jackson!j

  • @SwedishBlonde79 I like the 'Gettin' into drugs and bein' high is a stupid thing to do!"

    That would persuade me not to do drugs more than the 'be above the influence' ones do now. Ha ah ha!

  • Oh I remember HeathCliff. Those were the good times.

  • Heathcliff was awesome!

  • I love Maple Town, i wish it was on DVD!

    Wow they were still selling the Atari 2600! After the NES came out that thing was a dinosaur.

  • And the 2600 was under $50! Fifty bucks back then was like a hundred-fifty today!

  • $50 in 1988 is more like $90 today.

  • 90 dollars for an atari 2600 ? thats expensive lol, in Holland u can get them for 10 euro or something lol (thats less then 20 dollars)

  • Uhhh, these are commercials from 1987 22 years from now you will be able to get a Playstation 3 for 10 euros.

  • @dp100eboggan Also you do have to remember that this is after the great video game crash and video game companies were scambling to make money.

  • WTF? He Man had a 1-900 number?

  • WWTWFF HOLLYWOODS

  • LOL... I remember having a Super Golden Crisp ringing Christmas ornament...

  • "Wish World Kids", I think my friend had those. The brunette in that commercial is Danielle Harris from Halloween 4 and 5.

  • I wonder how many kids ate supergoldencrisp and then went to school and beat the shit out of their classmates...i think i did...got inschool suspension...lol

  • I had that perfume pretty barbie. The perfume smelled awful!

  • 2:36 wtf LOL!

  • I have had coco krispies and that never happend to me.

  • Holy....the Nosy Bears!!! I have been into retro commercials for years, and I'm just now remembering them after all these years!!! Wow! :)

  • OK, that He-Man 900-number shit is just WRONG.

  • sugar bear looks high

  • the atari 2600 was/is the shit!

  • i played "Joust" with my dad like 24/7

  • The Coco Puff bird thing, Sonny, sounds like Micky Mouse.

  • freaken Maple Town!

  • KBHK is now a CW station.

  • Definitely my favorite of the selection was Honey Comb and the Atari 2600 ones. It's always amusing how they still sold the 2600s several years after its original release in the late-70s(?), and it did way better than the flops of the 5200 and 7800 that appeared during 2600's lifespan. Pathetic. :)

  • the best one was "hooks"

  • lol, i think cocoa puffs is the only cereal where the mascot DOESN'T want to eat the cereal XD

  • Psychologically, Sonny wants to eat Cocoa Puffs very much. He is, as he says constantly, "cuckoo" for them. His want, nay need, for them is tantamount to the plight of the drug addict.

    Notice you never see Sonny's friends or family. No doubt they were driven away by his cereal addiction. His only "friends" are the children who taunt him with cereal. Friends indeed!

  • LOL XD

  • "I wish we didn't have to take a bath!"

    "We don't!"

    Way to teach your kids some great habits, guys!

  • LOL I was thinking the same thing.

  • Nosy Bears: The R2D2 of stuffed animals.

  • nosy bears.....lol

    i remember i had the red popcorn nosed one...lol

  • @ 2:07, REALLY? damn kid just wants to build his castle and the freakin honey nut cheerios bee decides to be creepy and sneak up on the kid. damn 80s

  • if i remember correctly that was also the last "new" season of the jetsons. oh and they still make the maple town dolls but you can only find em in specialty stores, my pal worked at one last year that sold em. hey val kilmer, the original arigorn! lol, i love W.i.l.l.o.w.!

  • Remember, get your parents permission before you call.

  • That Honeycomb commercial must have weaseled its way into my subconscious because I remembered it immediately.

  • Sugar Bear seems like a black dude

  • i love the bubble thing comment!

  • Oh my God. I had not only a Nosy Bear (I *think* it was the one with the popcorn...I think!), but also a Hooks and, like, THE ENTIRE Maple Town set. As well as a billion of the stuffed animals advertised in some of your other sets.

    ...You absolutely RULE, but I really, really feel like I was a spoiled little brat now. ;)

  • I know I had the little Maple Town girl rabbit (Patty?) and one of the Hollywoods (part of their hair changed color in hot/cold water!)

    That Barbie Ferrari ad was lodged in my memory somewhere, though I was never really into Barbie.

  • That Heathcliff ad is interesting... Heath actually acknowledging Riff Raff.

  • Sugar Bear was such a smarmy jerk.

  • Oh yeah? When was the last time you fought a whale with your bear hands?

    Didn't think so.

  • nosy bears- thanks for the nightmares

  • I had the Mapletown school!!! It was the best!

  • I saw Willow at the theater

  • It's not easy when you're new in town. Except when you have something that makes huge bubbles! AMAZING bubbles!

  • LOL XD Big Bad 'Mo at 5:29, crashin' the Honeycomb Hideout. Good stuff, heh.

  • cocoa krispies commercial reminds me of the a-ha 'take on me' video. lol!

  • I remember the TV commercial for "Honey Nut Cheerios". This was before General Mills did put a banner that say "Whole Grain Guaranteed" on every cereal box, as for the Honey Nut Cheerios itself, that was long before they put in a disclaimer on the box that says, it would reduce the risk of heart disease according to the American Heart Association. Both regular and Honey Nut Cheerios had disclaimer on the front of the box.

  • LOL!!!

  • I believe the girl in the wish world kids is Danielle Harris(Halloween,Roseanne. These are awesome. Really takes me Back.

  • Those late-period Atari 2600 ads are kinda sad in retrospect, it reeks of desperately trying to stay relevant in the NES era (and the 7800 ads are even worse in that regard)

  • nosily bares vs care bears

  • I wanted a Nosy Bear soooo bad!! I totally forgot those even existed. I forgot about Heathcliffe too.

    And let me say, I'm old enough to have had an Atari (I had the pinball game) when they 1st came out AND my dad bought a Nintendo when they 1st came out.....

  • What do You mean by "Now with Hullcinations?"

  • A boy eats cereal and is whisked away to magical cartoon world with crazy animals.  Clearly not your common breakfast table experience.

    Hence...Hallucinations.

  • I remember the promo for "Heatcliff" shown on WPIX-TV (channel 11) in my area a long time ago along with "The Transformers", "Tom & Jerry", "Smurfs", "The Jetsons" and a few others on that afternoon block. Mel Blanc was the voice of Heatcliff, he was originally a voice for all of the Looney Tunes for so many years and he was also a character on the "Jack Benny Program" on radio back in the 40's.

  • Are those the voices from the He-Man and She-Ra cartoons?

  • I Love that Cocoa Krisipes jingle.

  • Wow. I finally gave away my Hooks squirrel just a few years ago. I had the weird bird/emu thing too. Possibly one of the others. Yeah, the wave of gimmick-driven stuffed animals is hard to fathom now.

  • I Love how backthan. They have jingles for commericlas. and Honey Comb.

  • m&m's bags were huge back then! Greedy bastards nowadays.

  • is it me or does sugar bear always seem to be high???

  • god damn he-man and his science musemums.

  • Someone call the Heman number!

  • rainbow brite had a phone number thing before too and me and my sister got our stuff like 8 months later and when it got to the house the kites were broken

  • Heathcliff is voiced by none other than the great Mel Blanc!

  • I think I saw Willow in theaters. I tend to remember the horrible arcade game before the movie.

  • Oh wow! Now I know how to make friends with all the new people at work! All I have to do is go on ebay and get one of those gigantic bubble thingies! Thanks, 80'sCommercialVault!!!

  • THE one and only voice of the Honey Nut Cheerios Bee--Arnold Stang (AKA Top Cat)! Man, I miss the 80s!

  • If you have more or will be getting more - PLEASE post 'em up!

  • lol the PSA

  • WOW. I had one of those Nosey Bears (the popcorn one), and totally didn't remember until I saw this commercial again.

  • Those He-Man voices are "effed" up. I so miss Mel Blanc, and Lorenzo Music as well. And am I the only one that has never seen Willow? I mean it NEVER comes on! >:(

  • The Willow ad is interesting in how they clearly tried to make Val Kilmer look like the protagonist. (Although, he is in the movie for quite a bit, so I guess it's not that outrageous a deception.)

  • A marketing campaign for a blockbuster film often consists of a series of ads that focus on specific characters rather than the film as a whole...largely to appeal to as many demographics as possible.

    (And he did have top billing ;) )

  • Alright, another volume! Thanks for this. :)

  • Nah, these are edited together. Typical breaks usually last around 2 minutes.

  • It's ok we'll share!

  • lmao! kinda looks like "Heavy metal" animation :) hey were do u get these things ? xD

  • How can they call that a 'Willow' commercial when it is so severly lacking in midget?
