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.
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'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
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.
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.
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?
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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"!
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
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. :)
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!
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.!
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 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.
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)
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.....
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.
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.
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
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!!!
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.

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

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 ;) )

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