80's Commercials Vol. 100

[SyrupPiratesdotcom]

1 in 19,000 wins! Oh boy, I only have to buy more boxes of cereal than I'll ever consume in my life time to insure my victory!

[80sCommercialVault]

@SyrupPiratesdotcom Those were actually very good odds for that type of contest.

[Earych]

There's a weird kind of irony to these things. Back when they first aired they were an petty annoyance and mostly ignored. Now it reminds us how we and the world has changed. The resort and Doom Flume commercials stand out above all the others to me.

Thanx so much for posting these!

[MattTheSaiyan]

I'm amazed at how many 1980s McDonald's commercials there are. Those things are like rabbits. I want that telephone with the really big buttons.

[jnewboldlaw]

The girl at the end of the fruit roll ups commercial 9 or so minutes in, is now a commentator on CNBC- Her name now is Mellissa Francis- she used to go by Missy Francis. She was in a bunch of other things in the 80s :-)

[megamanmaniac]

5 will get you 10 that was Frank Welker as the voice of Sam The Eagle.

E.T. Cereal-still better than E.T. The Video Game.

[disneyfan85]

I have just been watching some old cartoons recorded on tape and I saw that "Woody and Friends" bumper pop up between cartoons, along with similar bumpers featuring to Bugs Bunny and Tom and Jerry.

[MeInTX]

I'm a year and half late to the party, but congrats on your 100th 80s posting. I'm looking forward to tackling the next 120 (as of now), plus all your other volumes.

They seem to have given Cap'n Jack a last name these days, one that's not any type of bird...I wonder why...

Those Cap'n Crunch phones all looked so...adult.

Spider-Man is friends with Woody?

The Jagger-Midler video was for her cover of "Beast of Burden".

Really, Seth Green? You're going to vote No? Jerk.

[abehammy]

I heard Windsor Waterworks closed cause a kid drowned in one of the pools. I think they were sued and never could recover financially.

[lilmizmuffett]

@abehammy They did. They were sued because they didn't meet water clarity standards, the lifeguard couldn't even see the kid at the bottom. That and they'd let more people in than the capacity, making visibility impossible. There was a rumor that he couldn't swim but his family and friends denied it, so he was reported most likely dunked under or got a cramp and couldn't tread.

[abehammy]

@lilmizmuffett Man, as much as I hate to say it, it's completely the park's fault. If the park kept up with current standards then maybe the accident wouldn't have happened. Anyway, does this mean there weren't regular inspections?

[lilmizmuffett]

@abehammy Probably not..but I don't really know. I only went in the pool once and it was so small and crowded I got out after 5 minutes. I miss the slides though. Not much to do if you live up here lol :/

[abehammy]

@lilmizmuffett I wonder what's at the park site anyway.

[lilmizmuffett]

@abehammy A trailer park.

[Wamdeb]

OMG, this brings back SO many memories of my childhood!!! I especially love the commercial of "Oakwood Lake Resort" (2:45 - 3:15). I have so many memories and good times of that place and was really sad when they closed it down. My girlfriends and I would often go there frequently at a spare of the moment, removing our shoes, letting out hair down and take on the waterslides and other water rides FULLY CLOTHED - WOO HOO!!! Those were good times!!! :-)

[patriots2185]

That lady in the water park commercial with the little boy on her lap.....she's dead.

[abehammy]

Apparently Windsor Water Works closed down some years ago.

[Wamdeb]

@abehammy Yeah, that was another place I loved to visit in the summertime. I miss it as much as Oakwood Lake Resort (see my comment above).

[oaklandlatinosunited]

at 9:14 i remember that Commercial the Italian American commercial looks like it was shot in North Beach . bit i wish you had the i'm proud to be a Mexican American Comercial it was shot on Fruitvale ave in East Oakland . also remember the psa about the Girl having a fantasy about her carreer goals she was a cop and a FireFighter . i miss the old Kyvu brings back a lot of nostalgia of being a kid in the Bay Area in the 80s .

[punkroxs]

Wow These all take me back

[Custom09]

E.T. cereal was the best cereal I have ever tasted. I wish they could bring it back.

[DanZero77]

After nearly 2 years, I have successfully seen the first 100 80s breaks posted by 80sCommercialVault! Surprised you've stayed on YT for so long! Many other people with big ad break collections have come and gone (VampireHunterDVD one of them, sadly) but you remain! While I've seen more than 100 of your videos, I've been trying to watch them in order! Thank you for continuing to share your memories, from California and elsewhere! Can't wait to see more ads from New York!

Here's to 100 more soon!

[80sCommercialVault]

@DanZero77 I appreciate that you take your time going through these and make consistently great comments. Not all "serial commenters" do.

I had two strikes against my account a year ago, but I disputed them and won. I'm not really sure what I'll do if my account ever gets suspended, but you can bet that I'll put all of these up again, either on youtube or elsewhere.

[DanZero77]

@80sCommercialVault I try to make my comments relevant and factual, if only because we got many of the same commercials on the East Coast, and TV was all I really had to do in the 80s.

Yeah I know about the strike system, many great channels fall after they "strike out", I'm glad that you disputed them and that you'll continue to provide us with great memories.

[halcaannen]

@80sCommercialVault If I give you my email will you notify me if you ever get deleted? And tell me where you'll be next? Please & Thank-You.

[texacobigred42]

@DanZero77 I was subscribed to both channels also and used to play both of them. I also miss VampireHunterDVD, but I am glad this channel is still on...

[toadenk]

darn the phone monster game is over :(

[FlamingBat]

8. & 11. I miss California, especially the water parks.

13. So I was alive when they still called it Sugar Crisp?

[rockergirl83]

RIP Kevin Dubrow!!!

[moxie96]

Oh my god I was Six years old then! that came on around @2pm after the dialing for dollars movie (which numerous times the random number was ours but neither of my parents would answer the phone!) I'd watch this then switch to channel 36 for the Fantastic four and Jackson five cartoons then switch back to KTVU for the Spiderman cartoon at 4pm and then either Odd couple or Gilligan's Island would be on at 4.30

[80sCommercialVault]

@moxie96 When I was editing this volume together I really wanted to include the Spider-Man Theme Song, but I was pushing the length of this video already.

[Jannghi]

Solid Gold Hits--that brings back memories. I watched it on KSBW in Salinas, CA

[texacobigred42]

10. A phone-eating monster? lol...

[stupidmonkey121]

my drama teacher is in the pirate ship one lol

[zombiehunter2010]

these commercials are better than today's commercials

[AmericanVideoGames]

A friend and I went to Windsor Waterworks grave yesterday, just an RV camp now.

[jeremylater]

@AmericanVideoGames actually the rv camp was always right next door to the windsor water works. it's mostly just a lot now, i think.

[shamat001]

Those phones look so prehistoric compared to today's phones, but those were the wodnerful 80's

[tropicalibreeze]

Those were the BEST fruit roll ups...now they taste like like paper, and do i really want to put a tattoo on my tongue?no.

[mefault]

I know what you mean. I never quite got the whole tattoo-on-a-fruit-roll-up-for-­your-tongue deal.

[danielledrules]

Everything was so much better in the 80s'.. the TV shows,the toys,the attractions,the snacks,the grocery stores,the food. Even the commercials were better.

[TeamEdward1976]

I never really cared for fruit roll-ups.

[SundownerDrifting]

I remember the Oakwood Lake Resort ads distinctly, and I remember actually going up to the Windsor Waterworks a couple of times (They had some really rude teenage staff!).

[jwgreek8606]

the Fruit Roll-ups commercial. It has Kirk Cameron a year before he got his big break playing Mike Seaver on Growing Pains

[deyoungparker]

I don't see Kirk Cameron but I do see the older brother from the Wonder Years...he's the kid on the left swiping bites from the kid in the middle 00:28.

[80sCommercialVault]

Kirk Cameron is seen tearing apart the fruit roll-up at 0:11.

[megamanmaniac]

@deyoungparker The kid in the middle is Danny Ponce from Valerie/The Hogan Family.

[naeema]

Thank you so much for all posting these great commercials,brought my memory back to a wonderfull years!

[TeamEdward1976]

Mine too!

[AnnainCA]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been dying to see the "Proud to Be..." PSAs again, and I'm so excited that you uploaded the Italian-American one. If you happen to have the Chinese, Japanese, or Mexican-American commercials, that would be awesome. Oh, and thanks also for uploading the Windsor Waterworks commercial. That's a real blast from the past. I never went there, but the commercial made it look like so much fun. I did, however, love the Manteca Water Slides at Oakwood Lake Resort.

[BigBlueBeast]

June 1984. So many memories. I left 3rd grade. My uncle graduated from high school. Cinnamon Toast Crunch was invented. And these commercials!

[PSYCHEDELICDAISY]

I grew up in the 80s in the bay area. Thanks so much for posting!

[acetrain81]

Your welcome 80's commercial vault keep em comin

[RoxyAlexander]

Like, totally rad 100th edition!!

[TherealRNO]

Right before Sugar Crisp became Golden Crisp officially....interesting.

[chicksheldon]

Really excellent choice for your 100th. So many "oh my god YES!" moments. Well done.

My sincere thanks for all the great memories.

[charlesk1974]

Interesting Captain Crunch commercial promoting a contest giving away telephones in these, the glorious days before mainstream Americans even knew what the heck a cell phone was (because they looked as big as World War II era walkie-talkies back then and cost thousands of dollars)

[tmlfan1977]

E.T. CEREAL!!!! I can still taste it! That and C-3PO's were my absolutely favorites as a kid. Thanks for the memories!!

[blugreen123]

that "captain jack's" ad is awesome

that's some pair of hotpants in the background there @ 4:02

what's the deal w/ that PSA?

I always thought the 3-ring circus immensly confusing. my eyes didn't know where to land. not my thing, even in 3rd grade.

[oceanside71]

That's Seth Green in the Trix commercial. Yep.

[gunfuego]

wow the solid gold dancer chicks are hot. Oh and Cinnamon Toast Crunch is the best!!

[pandaKrusher]

You've put a major effort into archiving and posting these videos and helped many of us relive forgotten, if ephemeral, moments. Who knows, I'm willing to bet many of these ads, especially during the local breaks, would otherwise be lost. Thanks for contributing and thanks for putting up with my stupid comments.

As a kid we would go to Windsor Waterworks to celebrate our 100th something. But they tore the place down.

[VCRchivist]

*raises glass* There's only one 2, and only one 80sCommercialVault! Here's to the first hundred, and many more glorious volumes and blissful nostalgia to come!

A nice celebratory volume - the Fruit Roll-ups and waterpark/circus tickets are on me! Love the simplicity of the Cheerios spot, and I actually kind of like the Golden Grahams droplet mascot. But those Cocoa Puffs look nasty.

And I had no idea WHERE they were going with that last PSA ... is this a church ad? travel? what?

[80sCommercialVault]

Thanks!

The Italian American PSA was part of a series KTVU ran celebrating different ethnicities. That's the only one I've seen, but they had ones for Asian and Hispanic Americans too.

[troodon311]

So us Scandinavian Americans are again ignored by the powers-that-be.... at KTVU.

[JudgePat]

If I remember correctly they had Chinese, Japanese, Black (pre African-American), Italian, and Mexican (pre Hispanic), and maybe one or two others (Native American?). The Japanese-American spot was two girls talking about how the Japanese have come a long way since the internment camps of WWII. The Black-American spot played an excerpt from MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech.

THANK YOU for posting one of these! Been looking for all those old KTVU PSAs for years!

[barber747]

They should have done something like that here in Chicago.

[AnnainCA]

Just FYI, someone else has recently uploaded the "I'm Proud to Be a Japanese-American" PSA.

[jlam1127]

Where's the link? I can't find it. Someone should upload the Chinese one too....ahhhhh...memories

[AnnainCA]

YouTube won't let me put a link, but if you plug "Proud to be a Japanese American" into the search box, it should come right up. Someone named Golabutron has uploaded the video.

[bigmankralc]

whoo 100 episodes, Great job guys!

[MiL3YpeAc3oUt007]

hi 80sCommercialVault! Congratulations to you for your 100th episode of 1980's USA commercials that you made in the past few years!!! And makes me back in time and memories of these commercials!

Thanks for posting this! I'm so happy for you! ^_^

[celerytime]

congrats on 100 bro .. i've seen every single one!, keep em coming!

[UncleRabbit1]

These commercials are from June 1984. In June of 1984 I was about to graduate from the third grade at Lafayette Elementary School in San Francisco but first my third grade teacher was gearing us up to take The Minimum Standards Test.

[Gymnasticslover3oh3]

Congrats on the big 100!!!!! I've seen all the 80's and 90's volumes (waiting for more of those, i hope theres still more in that vault )

also i assume a few years later after this particular date in time, Post changed the name of Super Sugar Crisp to Super Crisp or something like that.

[tracy80sgirl]

That was the first time i heard the Golden Grahams honey drop talk! What a strange, girlish voice. Also in the commercial with Kirk and Jason is Danny Ponce from Valerie/The Hogan family.

[tanquantwal]

Congratulations on 100 great videos. I was happy when I saw it on my homepage (yeah it's finally here). Lol Sad but true. These commercials are so great.

E.T. cereal was so good. I'd forgotten all about it.

[TabiCB]

Poor Sonny, trying to stay clean. Those kids are evil.

[MeInTX]

@TabiCB Kids in cereal commercials tended to be evil. The kids were endlessly tempting Sonny with Cocoa Puffs, and denying the Rabbit any Trix, and always chasing after Lucky and his Charms. Actually, I take that back.  It's only the kids in General Mills commercials that were evil.

[holbrooke7]

Wow, lots of cereal commercials!

[blugreen123]

I LOVED Woody Woodpecker. those were the days

[Idoljunky32]

First off, congrats on your 100th episode!!! Been loving everyone you put out! It's like stepping back in a time machine and reliving my childhood/teen years! Keep em coming!

The Cinnamon Toast Crunch commercial takes me back, also the Coco Puffs one too. don't remember ET cereal. Fruit Roll-ups were the s**t back then! That was the big thing in our lunch boxes (I had a Strawberry Shortcake metal lunch box w/ thermos!) And yes family outings were way better in the 80's!!!

[ptb267ii]

This video is also credited to me since I found these tapes when I moved a while back in 2002. I only discovered them after I saw what the content of the tape was. I really did not know that I would have this until now. But anyway's please give me your best thanks.

[mefault]

Couple things: Love the Cinnamon Toast Crunch ad ( haven't seen it since it first came out), the italian-american PSA flooded me with memories...LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. And more importantly, thanks for sharing 100 volumes (so far) of your rockin' 80's gems, you're the best!!

[cyrenafame]

ET cereal is just lazy alphabits.

[j85]

Happy 100th and keep em comin'

[MissElectricCompany]

OMG, that was Seth Green in the Trix commercial? Wow, how do you find out all this stuff! Epic!

[MissElectricCompany]

I just wanted to thank you for posting all these videos! I watch every one of them, and find nuggets of tasty memories every time! I'm a kid of the late 70's early 80's and these are priceless. Makes me want to get a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and sit down Indian style in front of the glowing TV. Thanks!

[specterkev]

WOW I used to love ET cereal..sadly enough I had forgotten it even exhisted till now... wow

i love the internet.

[SNAKEEYESSAM]

cool.that was seth green.

[UmbrellaAl]

Wow! look at that lil' Ginger! He's still the same height!

[WVClaydawg]

Congrats on the 100th episode!!!!!

[BoogsterSU2]

Let's go up to 200 everybody! WOOT!

Great vid 5/5

[Muggle423]

Oh man, those short guy shorts in the Windsor Waterpark commercial. They all look like they have wedgies.

[Jukesette]

YAY! We made it to video 100. :D

All the months of watching has paid off.

[xheathermichelle]

haha that boy on the left in the last scene of the fruit roll ups commercial was on the wonder years!

[specterkev]

lol Wayne!

[specterkev]

seriously though he was in ALOT of stuff lol

[xheathermichelle]

oh yeah i know, it's just funny because he's so little there.

[SouthParkFan8675309]

Holy shit is that really Seth Green? Damn

[Nickrj3]

Wow, Oakwood looks like a ton of fun.

[VideoSurferClassic]

Wow! 100 Volumes, congratulations!

[sugarrrsmack]

awesome video! !00 great videos of 80's memories! Thanks!

[troodon311]

Fantastic upload. Happy 100th volume, everyone!

You missed out on a great "Tastes like chewin' on a Christmas tree!" opportunity with the Golden Grahams commercial.

It's amazing that there was an ad for the Santa Cruz Boardwalk pirate ship; I love that thing. I'm sad we didn't go on it the last time we went there.

You think you see Seth Green everywhere. I don't know if I should believe you anymore....

[SourApplez1211]

Yeah, 100th video of commercials.

[fattoler]

100th episode!

[darkcrow220]

Congrats on the big 100th :)

[Gfer]

Grats on th 100th 80s commercial video! :D
