this vid takes me back to the good days of the 80's . how sad that most of this commercials would not make it to TV this days . for example " Big League Chew " could be interpreted as a promotion of tobacco to kids
thanks to the food police commercials for kids cereals are almost gone. That may explain one reason saturday morning cartoons have gone to crap. no adversizers. No money. Just crappy E/I programming.
I know they look simple, but those G.I. Joe commercials are SO painfully hard to choreograph, not to mention they have to HIRE hand models just to advertise them
Mother Fucking Castle Grayskull! Oh how I wanted that shit bad. I might have actually got it at one point, but then again I could just be remembering my vivid fantasies of playing with Mother Fucking Castle Grayskull!
I don't think we can get Hershey's chocolate syrup in England, but the Messy Marvin idea would probably work today. The water wiggle was advertiesed under a different name in England this summer, but probably wasn't popular due to the flash floods. Starburst are still here, and so is Barbie, she will be 50 in March 2009, and doesn't look a day older than 25! lol.
Fascinating to see ads for products I've never heard of, that Hershey choc syrup looks nice, can you still get it? not sure that I want to "taste C3PO" though :(
You can still get Hershey's chocolate syrup in Ohio. We put in on top of ice cream. Yum! Check your store, it should be with the chocolate milk powders.
His name in the Hershey's commercials was Messy Marvin. He did a whole bunch of those commercials right around the time that he did A Christmas Story.
I remember kids coming to school with the bruises, black eyes, and band aids in the 60s and 70s. People weren't as lawsuit-happy back then.
It was the Underoos commercials that got all the controversy and were banned in the early 80s, after arguing in court for years that they were "costumes".
They were the 1970s' answer to child erotica websites.
Ugh...the early '80s were full of commercials with "liquid gum": Chewels, Tidal Wave, even A&W had some licensing agreement for gum that "squirted" when you chewed it. Even as a kid, I found it disgusting.
Yep! I had a relative who set The Clapper up to control his Christmas tree lights in the 80s, and when they ran the model train they had set up around the tree, the clicking as it went over the tracks made the tree lights turn on and off :)
You know, I wish I had the Clapper. It would save me some walking when I turn the lights off at night when I go to bed, especially when guests are sleeping in my bedroom and I'm sleeping someplace else.
I find it funny watching He-man cartoons now and seeing how obviously homo-erotic they are. That may have been a major contributing factor to our generation being so accepting of everyone; we were getting lessons from our openly gay action hero's.
I remember most of these. Especially the He-Man one with the Dragon Blast Skeletor and the kid freezes too. I thought that was silly back then. Also the clapper. The TV is the wrong place to put it. Just say you're watching a good game, they score, you start clapping, the tv turns off and on. If you have the clapper for your lights, just hope the commercial dosen't come on!
I watched the NCIS Season 4 on DVD. Sean Murray (McGee) said that his first paid acting job was doing SUGAR SMACKS commercial. I'm not sure if the boy incommercial #2 was him. If you find another Sugar Smacks commercial can you post it?
You know, I think I'm too lazy for The Clapper. I don't want to clap--TWICE--to turn stuff off and on. I just want to think it and have it happen. Come on, technology!
They still make the Clapper. I saw a new commercial on Superstation WGN TV during a Segal Movie a month ago. It was much like the 80s commercial only now they have people turning off other stuff.
thats true. I've seen one in like K-Mart a year or 2 ago for sale.
I was like "They still make these?!?!?!"
I use to pick on the commercials with my grandmother when i was a lil shit though.
Also those Chia Pet commercials.
Wasn't there another whacky commercial similar to those but for answering machines. like you could have different tones to play when some calls you such as *in a deep voice* "CAN'T PICK UP THE PHONE CAUSE NO ONES HOME" or something like that.
