"Innkeeper...a ration of Lowenbrau for me and my men." I remember those commercials as a kid and that catchy song but that line and those guys are really corny now.
@johnQ1127 I know - I was responding to someone else's comment about Love Sydney that had nothing to do with this clip other than the fact that Tony Randall was in it. You may want to check the rest of the comments to see what I was responding to before 'correcting' me.
@MsFarzee - I would kill for 'Love Sydney' to come out on DVD. That Sucrets commercial - "Barbara, you up? BARBARA, YOU UP!!??" "I'm up now, jerkface!" I know it by heart - I wanted to punch that guy in the face.
Sorry to double post, but I have to ask: What the hell happened to ring-around-the-collar? Did we get rid of it scientifically? Did society just get over its bizzare obsession??? Haven't heard anyone refer to it in at least 20 years, but it was like the center of the universe in the 60's & 70's!
Finally, this site I went to which features more information on "The World Beyond" suggests that Connie Selleca is featured in the Excedrin ad. kindertrauma dawt calm/?p=355
Dobb's Ford is in Memphis, Tennessee , That's where I bought my truck in 1995. lol Didn't expect that commercial to be in there at all. Aim is familiar, 7 11 , Excedrin, and especially Sucrets, I was 10 years old.
...and that "AIM" commercial...woah!!! How many times I saw that and as a kid it just went over my head...but I still remember the dialogue (kid: "AIM tastes good!" "Taste does not fight cavities, *Flouride* fights cavities" "Mrs. Davis..AIM *HAS* flouride, AIM *fights* cavities!" etc etc etc...)
...I'm just in nostalgia overload now...I'd better shut up and enjoy...later!
I thought "Lowenbrau" was brewed by Annheiser-Busch and was strictly another American made beer - with a name that made it sound authentically German. It wasn't too bad, if I remember correctly. It certainly wasn't "imported."
@pacific707 From the 70's to 2002 it was brewed in America under license by Miller...with a slight difference in flavor to the original brand brewed in Munich.
@bluematter08 Spent a stupid amount of time trying to find the answer to this question but could not. Wonder if it has anything to do with the questions about the safety of inhaling the vapor? Anyway, I did discover that PAM will dry nail polish! Go figure!
@arclight2012 Not denying that price is insane, but it's with a coupon and a minimum $15 purchase. Being recorded during January, they were probably trying to get rid of their stock during a time when not many people are outside grilling hot dogs.
@80sCommercialVault True but nowadays to get a discount on anything you have to spend 50 dollars and even then it's only a few cents. I love your nostalgic commercials though! Yours is my favorite youtube channel!
Check out the Dobbs Ford spot at 4:38. Someone throws a snowball at her.
Also does anybody know who the teacher is in the Aim spot? She looks really familiar. Maybe someone on Sesame Street or some other kid's show comes to mind.
This bunch of commercials are AMAZING! I am 36 but I remember alot of stuff from '78 television. I have a great memory in general but most of my memories start from the age of 3. I could read at that age and paid close attention to TV ads in particular. Thanks for putting these up.
BTW The L'eggs ad is simply repugnant, I mean, really.
It's the prices of the cars on the car commericial that cracked me up the most. Imagine if they were still that price! We'd all have three of four of them apiece! lol
Wow, I love these commericials! Of course I love your '80s ones, too, because I remember seeing a lot of them as a kid. But it's great to see these older ones that I've never seen before. Thanks for posting them :)
Far out, man, groovy ;-) Yes, Tony had his own sitcom (imaginatively titled "The Tony Randall Show") for a couple of seasons, but it was the sting of his next (and last) sitcom in the early '80s that, apparently, kept him from ever doing another series. That one was "Love, Sidney" co-starring the divine Swoosie Kurtz. His character was written in the premiere movie as a gay man, but the show shied away from the whole controversy which ticked Tony right off. What a loss to the TV world that was!
Hey! It's the dude that played the asshole teacher in "The Breakfast Club" and the asshole cop in "Die Hard" at 3:10. (forget his name, good prick actor.)
These are awesome. Some of the imagery I remember. I was three in January 1978.
@manyvideoinerests It was a manufacturing arm of AT&T that produced telephones, as well as other electronic equipment and devices. The Vitaphone system that brought sound to motion pictures was developed by Western Electric, along with other advances in sound technology. In 1984, WE was swallowed up by a new division of AT&T and in 1996 became independent and split/sold its assets.
Does anybody know where I can order a decent-working time machine? I tried all the bargain marts in town and they don't seem to carry any for some strange particular reason...
@BigBrotherMateyka Nothing beats the ones you can pick up at police and repo auctions. Older Gov't produced time machines are also worth having, and can often be obtained with the right connections. Lots of bells and whistles on those things, let me tell ya.
Stay away from the Kenmore brand time machines at Sears though. My displacement annex once got fried using one of those things, and I winded up in the outer orbit of Jupiter! Very embarrassing...
@80sCommercialVault I found that government models are exorbitantly expensive. They charge you an arm and a leg for something that doesn't even go back to when MTV was decent. And that's even without the unbelievable warranty charge and insurance policy! What a ripoff!
I should have also mentioned that I saw a great bargain on QVC one time, but they were sadly all out of stock.
Thanks for the help anyways. I shall always be on the lookout for a new sale. Cheers. =)
