[MrPsppro95]

[richirth]

I'll pay the unbelievable price of $26.95 for a copy of Top Gun on VHS!!!!!

[JohnQ1127]

@richirth,

Yeah, that's insane. That's about $50.00 in 2012 dollars.

[Stephie2007]

8:30 still to this day, words like 'douche' are being used on tv.

oh and R.I.P Circuit City

[Aiglos]

I always heard Spuds died during a commercial shoot. He got electrocuted in a swimming pool or something like that. Could have just been a rumor though.

[antwhatever]

things were so much easier back then evreything is so boring now! dont ya wish you could turn the clock back!

[Aeschlimann1]

I am watching this in Aptos, where are you from Vault?

[80sCommercialVault]

@Aeschlimann1 Santa Cruz...I live in Aptos.

[weEVILzLAIRS89]

Spuds mckenzie looks bored and confused at the same time lol

[mseerob]

DId you notice at 5:25 grandpa slams the soccer ball between the wall and the pop

machine and the kid and grandpa walks off with just coke, leaving the soccer ball behind...wtf? lol

[Dleushon]

$26.95 for Top Gun on VHS?? I just saw it in the $5.00 bin at Wal-Mart.

[Amunication]

i can't believe they used to advertise douches on tv lol

[RugbyFootballer]

Fraternity Row was a lot like the Porky's Movies

[16MallyP5]

For # 11. Unsolved Mysteries the date at the end of the commercial when it said it would premiere is Wednesday October 5th, which is the day October 5th will be on this year and the day it was when I was born. Just found that interesting! =)

[Nox0verstreet]

Damn! Nearly 30 bucks for Top Gun on VHS! No wonder my pops always recorded movies and never purchased any original copies.

[Retrofanatic10]

``Not all Douches are alike.'' LMAO!!!! XD.

[Piledriver86]

XD Hahaha, oh man, 27 bucks for a VHS tape?! Even for a new movie thats a lot today.

[glassjaw00]

i could watch these for hours. easily the best channel on youtube

[junkyturd]

Wow 26.95 for top gun on vhs and people complain that blu-rays cost too much?

[Jeff98177]

8:29. I found my new ringtone!

[Jeff98177]

Joke from the 1980's: What would you call Tammy Faye Bakker if she just put makeup around one eye? Spuds MacKenzie.

[zestsoap20]

"All douches are not alike." I beg to differ!

[hwr1996]

Can't stop laughing Summer eve douche

[hwr1996]

Damn that dog gets more chicks than beiber (unsurprisingly).

[TreyColwell]

Lol I watched Top Gun in my World Geography class the other day, that movie had some awesome 80s music in it.

[justanotheraccounton]

$30 for top gun?!?!?!

[munsterr777]

I remember when Sizzler steaks were actually big.

[nicetryjason]

Comfort Douche... the new name for my solo project! the dude whispers sizzler at the end of this.. its creepy.

[MattTheSaiyan]

Having a famous blind singer do a commercial for flashlight batteries: Genius.

[joezetank]

poor dog

[RevolutionOfCG]

It's hilarious to hear Jay Leno say 'Rio Grande Fixins' while hawking Doritos.

[RevolutionOfCG]

$26.95 for Top Gun on VHS? It seemed cheap back then, but that's like 60 bucks these days!

[butcheemonk]

$26.95 for a VHS of Top Gun HAHAHA!

[nickyj82]

26-95 for top gun vcr wow, in 87 that was a fortune

[Carcilwen]

Jesus tapdancing Christ, the mullet in the PSA for Salinas Valley. LOL

[dimebagdave77]

$26.95! i had forgotten that vhs was a hot commodity at one point.great videos!

[sexykitten0627]

Top Gun is one of the best movies ever made and I can't believe it cost 26.95 back then. That is like paying for Blue-Ray now!!!

[tomcat2285]

ah circuit city is no more

[AdamCartwrightMyLove]

Awwwww !!! Robby Benson.

[stevea138]

ALL DOUCHES ARE NOT ALIKE

I will remember that forever

[deathclock9]

@stevea138 I was working on the other monitor when I heard that and my head turned immediately. lol

[RexSkittles]

Why is Stevie Wonder peddling batteries for flashlights? He's blind!!!

[holbrooke7]

RIP CIrcuit City.

[blackshogun77]

@ImmortalEye666 Immortal, in the future you'llbe able to download movies to a tv screen. You'll pay your 50 bucks a month and then they will offer you a library (like netflix) and then youll just hit select and then the film will be uploaded to your library

[cheezgoblin]

Who's the dude that played older charlie in the sizzler commercial?? He looks familier.

[Furiousblue42]

That's a awful big sip Grandpa!

LOL

[bilfamily]

bud light( the dog's hilarious)

[Mastermind8908]

Jay Leno, when he had only one color in his hair.

And Jodie Sweetin, *sigh* what went wrong with her? I mean I know what happen to her, but damn.

[seattlesfinestwrx]

I wonder what Summer's Eve was thinking about when they made that commercial.

[brooke9218]

These commercials are awesome! I was unfortunate enough to have been born in the nineties, so I missed out on these...

[abcstardust]

Love the video! Commercials from the best times of my life...the Honeymoon!! lol

[kari00ws6]

$26.95 for Top Gun? Wow.

[blackshogun77]

@kari00ws6 kari,i was a kid in the 80's and to order a new movie could cost as high as 70 bucks and you had to wait a year for the tape to arrive. it blows me away how easy it is for companies to put out DVD's now. Iron man 2 is already out on dvd

[kari00ws6]

@blackshogun77 I was born in 82', I was just still amazed at how expensive VHS's were.

[illmsg77]

THANK YOU!!!! I just KNEW all douches werent alike.

[ElegantOgden]

Um...is it just me? Or did the "Fraternity

Row" bit seem a tad...homo-erotic?....

[80sCommercialVault]

Nearly all of those fraternity hazing rituals are to a certain degree.

[halcaannen]

@80sCommercialVault Yeah I saw in the video description that you said that you can not get anything for 89 cents anymore. But here in Miami we have presidente supermarkets and sedanos supermarkets have things cheap and cheaper that 89 cents. You can even view their ads online just put the name(s) and , com. Now publix can be expensive. I feel you cause I've seen Lucky's and Safeway's ads online and the thing featured are expensive.

[blackshogun77]

@ElegantOgden elegent there was alot of homoerotic imagery in the 1980's, but there always is somewhat.

[DayTripperID]

@ElegantOgden yeah what isn't homoerotic about a fraternity?

[megamanmaniac]

And God Created Woman should have been rated X back then because it was just 2 hours of Rebecca DeMornay having sex. Brian Bonsall...what happened to little Andy? Fame ruined his life.

[IdahoMoe1963]

I love Spuds McKenzie!

[shydmples]

Sing Stevie...lol....Kodak batteries...lol...I forgot all about that. lol

[Adamv45]

HAH! Peanut Butter and Tuna!

[mysticx0]

hey the kid in the coke commercial is Mikey!! (little known b-movie but man what a freakin classic...lol) he was also on family ties and has a strong resemblence to "zack the lego maniac"

[Crazymike1975]

@5:24

The Great Art Carney and Brian Bonsall

[lawpunker]

Top gun for 26.95? Thats over 50 bucks in today's dollars! No wonder why everyone used to rent movies back then.

[AvEryBadApPLe]

you just can't duplicate animal house.

[80sCommercialVault]

"Fraternity Row" came out *before* "Animal House".

[m3trooper]

"Heartbeat of America" Chevrolet. lol. Who would've ever imagined that 21yrs later, that company would be at the brink of bancruptcy and existence!

[IluvDonnieandJordan]

Jodie Sweeten in the last commercial.

Looked @ Jay Leno, so you young looking.

[ButteWhat]

That's when VCR's ran about $400 or $500 or more ... now you can get one for $50

[lunarnut]

Don't forget also it was a big deal when tapes came out for sale, as video rental places usually had them first and it took much longer for them to be released for sale than the 3-4 months we wait for dvd releases. Some movies cost $100+ to purchase (if they weren't marked for public retail sale).

[papatoony]

@ButteWhat Try $5 at the Goodwill

[Franky4523]

$26.95? Thats nuts!! Thats expensive even by todays standards. Were they on crack? WOW

[blackshogun77]

@Franky4523 frank add to this that bessides the cost of videos inthe 80's , for newer titles you had to wait a year for them to be delivered.

[SarasUttube]

was everybody hates chris an 80s show ?

[horrormovie100]

@SarasUttube no everybody hates was release in 2005 but the series is set in the 80s

[SarasUttube]

mmkay,, im only 12 but i love the 80s for some reason and their commercials-*sighs, why couldnt i live back then* now is so lame compared to then and the commercials now are so screwed up, their all about games,cars,and food-one reason why i liked the 80s so much was because it was the time of michael jackson-i LOVED him so much

[ThomasHankyPank]

@SarasUttube IKR

[mooneepondskid]

Ah..Robby Benson..here it is 1987/88..yet his hairstyle is more like 1983/84.

[spikesurge83]

$26.95 for Top Gun? Damn were pretty much paying that for Blu Ray movies! I guess some things didn't change.

[ESome1980]

not many people had vcr's I don't think back then...they were still a fairly new device..

[blackshogun77]

@ESome1980 Esome, by the mid to late 80's people had VCR's.

[childofwindandfire]

look how young jay looks!

[defenderoFreedom]

has anyone else noticed???

not too many car commercials like today!

nothing on TV's or VCR's technology either..... MOSTLY FOOD !

[drumfreek31]

WOW Stevie Wonder doing a commercial that involves batteries and flashlights isn't that something

[80sCommercialVault]

Yes. Because blind people don't need batteries for anything. ...They're blind!

[drumfreek31]

they do need batteries but not flashlights.

I never knew a blind person who needed a flashlight to see in a dark room.

[texacobigred42]

#3 Wonder if this movie came out before Tom Cruise got wrapped up in that Scientology crap?

[defenderoFreedom]

whoa!

"The UNBELEIVABLE LOW price of $26.95!! for a VHS cassette tape!!

amazing how technology has advanced. That same cassette is probably at Goodwill for 99 cents.

[slipknot789able]

wow 3 turkey pot pies for only 99 cents now you might be lucky to get one pot pie for 2.00$

[xContaminatedx]

I have an original 1984 VHS from a movie called 'The Cotton Club', and on the spine it says "Suggested Retial Price: $79.99".

[lonestardruid]

douche commercial! rofl!

[Bigvader]

"All douches aren't alike." lmao!

[arachknight1979]

They are if they're on the internet my friend. lol

I wonder how many takes that took before she could say "All douches aren't alike" with a straight face.

[Bigvader]

LMAO! Top Gun on VHS for $26.95! Wow. Amazing how so many things were ridiculously cheap in the 80's (gas, food, etc.) but "new" technology is ALWAYS a wallet buster. Remember how much CD players cost when they first came out? Haha.

[80sCommercialVault]

The high price there has more to do with VHS tapes not hitting a low retail price point yet. Many movies back then weren't sold at retail and were priced at around $100 so that they were only affordable to the video rental places.

[BiffWebster100]

haha "meat pies"

[foppa123]

where on here?

[BiffWebster100]

2:03

[RoxyAlexander]

Alpha Beta, OMG! I grew up in Vegas, we had Alpha Beta maybe until the early-mid 80's? Wonder if there are any left?

I used to fill my toy dump truck up with those STeak Chops dog food pieces because they looked like steaks. I would stock up my Fisher Price playhouse like a grocery store until eventually the smell of dog food stopped me! That was some damn curte dog food.

[kearbear1980]

haha..26.95 for VHS, those were the days

[liamkhan07]

Lol Not all douches are alike.. .try our new douche ROFLMAO

[1986Sheri]

whatever happened to Spuds Mackenzie?

[idgw76]

I cant believe how much top gun on vhs was $26.95

[muffinproject]

they say SOME studies SUGGEST, a high fibre low fat diet MAY reduce the risk of SOME kind's of cancer..

now that are some hardhitting words right thar..

[noahgabie]

OMG..TOP GUN IS OUT ON VHS!!!

[humhunny]

You're right....no douche is alike! HEHE can't help it!

[garbagelasagna]

Stevie Wonder for flashlight batteries...do the jokes ever stop?

[loltard]

"No way I'm wearing THIS to a Phil Collins concert!" That's right, KMEL guy. Gotta look dignified when you go see Phil Collins.

My grandma used to buy All-Bran. I would eat pretty much any cereal in the house, including Crispix, but I wouldn't touch All-Bran. It is suitable only for lining hamster cages and for punishing those who have wronged you.

[Daghead]

Haha, Circuit City's dead.

Haha, douche.

[worker82]

8:29 so funny

[worker82]

Every kid loved Spuds! I had a Spuds stuffed animal and my parents didn't even drink beer.

[TheHulk850]

Spuds McKenzie....that was soooo classic. Awesome!!

[Lagorditalinda17]

And "Unsolved Mysteries"! I used to love it! But the song always creeped me out cause they played it and showed pix of aliens and ghosts, etc... I would low the volume until the song would finish.. lol

[Lagorditalinda17]

Why was the movie "Top Gun" so expensive? LOL

[beatlesfan1972]

i think it was because the techonology was so new (The equivlelent of today's Blu-Ray or something). You'll see a now run-of-the-mill VCR advertised for $338 in a commercial from around the same time posted by this same user.

[acebeast444]

SPUDS MACKENZIE FTW!!!!!!!!

[xabat77]

$26.95 (probably like $45 in current dollars) for a VHS movie??? What were we thinking!

[indiag89]

I KNOW. new dvds aren't even that much now.

[Lafours]

using cancer to scare people to eat all brand... very subtle kelloges

[Lafours]

I always wanted to try the tender chops they looked tasty lol

[Lafours]

I love that a dog inspired a new generation to drink mass quatities of cheap beer...thanks spuds

[ktykatbrat]

Ahhh Sizzler...i miss Malibu chicken

[blackshogun77]

man, forget the malibu chicken, what about unlimited quantities of fried shrimp.

[rockergirl83]

"All douches are not alike." Apparently this woman has never met my ex boyfriends!

[bigmankralc]

8:30 I tried SOOOOO hard not to laugh.... *pftt* hehe

[rockergirl83]

I saw your comment and watched the whole thing all the way to that part. I, unlike you, could NOT hold back! It was sooooooo freaking funny!

[blackshogun77]

rocker girl, as someone who gre up in the 80's, the biggest mistake anyone coul make was to try and make sense of the 80's. Everyone was stone or high or pretending to be stoned or high, either way it was a super awsome decade. And yes, big hair will return.

[FoximusPrime1]

You should all know that futurama made a parody of spuds mackenzie,

Slurms Mackenzie!

[voltron821]

food was cheap...electronics was expensive...

[voltron821]

$26.95 for a vhs movie in the 80s. Now I don't feel so bad for the film industry with all the illegal downloading of movies because of the way they used to rip us off with high prices.

[TR47]

The home video market then was not what it is today. Videos were a LOT more expensive, especially earlier in the decade, where tapes would run $100+ for one movie. Due to the prices they were usually limited to video rental stores until the studios realized they could make a fortune by selling VHS tapes to the general public. Once thought of as a revenue killer, the VCR actually made studios tons of money. Prices for blu-ray are actually much lower now when inflation is factored in.

[Sonicwolf359]

One thing people are forgetting about the 26.95 price tag on Top Gun is that the inflation puts that over 50 dollars now. lol. - - And people are complaing about BluRay prices...

[dandd284]

I have a bud light stein with spuds on it

[Adrielfosho]

douche hahah

[xxbemyromeoxx]

3:12 was that a beretta?

[emoneybagz23]

I have to agree! Even back then, I wouldn't have bought it.

[VALENTINEproductions]

daaamn 26.95 for a vhs tape of Top gun. wow prices havent changed.

[KISSarmyGuy]

Refund the difference plus %10.

Yeah right.

[babygirltessa]

Spuds reminds me of Rude Dog T-shirts, anyone remember those?

[DoctaBuddie]

hahahaha Spudz Mckennzie remember him.

[DDRpwnerer]

Jesus Christ, 27$ for Top Gun?!

[kylep2]

Even busy people have to eat.

[xXJacobBuckXx]

At least you can eat for cheap after waisting all that money on Top Gun...

[TheGamingGuitarist]

My mom still has a Spuds McKenzie shirt from the 80's!

[Sean1983]

The music in the KMEL 106 FM commercial is Let Me Be The One by Expose. I listen to that CD all the time still.

[celerytime]

LOL .. "all douches are not alike" .. times have certainly changed man

[philvanyam]

That Robby Benson had one hell of a head of hair on him!

[haldflas80]

$26.95 for a VHS..........DANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[celerytime]

fuuck

[fryersoncaptain]

Indeed.

[chocobuzz19]

i remember my grandparents buying that all-bran stufff mmmm with the real look and taste of nature like little sticks and twigs  nasty stuff

[seattlesfinestwrx]

Ha, I got a couple of comments about this one, especially the last one.

- Very good attempt at trying to sound 'seducing' when he says Sizzler.

- Wasn't it during this time that Jodie was doing Full House, also? I think it started in 1987.

- It's a shame that Circuit City is now no more. I always thought they has excellent pricing.

- The Dorito's old logo >>> new logo.

[shaneinkster]

how can you fit so meny peaple in i taxi cab car? 5:09

[80sCommercialVault]

Have you ever been inside of an old Checker cab? They're enormous.

(Though I admit it still would've been a pretty tight squeeze in there)

[Clay3613]

too bad Banquet sucks

[chibearfan06]

26 bucks for a VHS? new dvds aren't even that expensive lmao

[LisaGrimsley]

I know! :D haha. and DVD's have better quality. :P Gotta miss those VHS tapes, though. They don't and probably won't ever make commercials like this again. :/

[jairodrigue]

it did say for the unbelievable price, lol. People watch these and comment on the low prices need to see more ads on vcr around $400 and vhs movies around $30

[Ryokosha]

I miss Spuds McKenzie, probably wouldn't work nowadays though, some group would complain saying Spuds was a way to get children's attention...

Sizzler thas something I haven't thought of years.

[23metroboi23]

It's Jodie Sweetin from Full House at 9:48.

[80sCommercialVault]

Please read the video descriptions...

[RetroGirl85]

i never realized circuit city was out back in the 80s, we didnt get any here in our area till mid 90's. and now they are going under :(

[cocobutter1983]

I remember when night court was still on reg tv...........I remember almost all of these commercials..........

[freddyfan62]

Spuds McKenzie. That's totally retro.

The Heartbeat of America is today's Chevrolet!

[Libitina72]

I love that Nissan truck

[papasitoman]

That douche commercial got me laughing...

[onlyonfriday05]

The guy in the Sizzler commercial is Leslie Jordan. Better known as Beverly Leslie, Karen's nemisis on Will & Grace or Brother Boy from Sordid Lives. I used to wear my Spuds MacKenzie sweatshirt to school all the time when I was in about 5th or 6th grade. I would love to see a teachers face if a student wore one of those sweatshirts now.

[BorderCityBandit]

I got tons of commericals recorded off tv from the 80's and 90's ,how do you convert vhs to digital to put online

[80sCommercialVault]

A DVD recorder. They're pretty cheap these days.

[KY2Tucson]

LOL!!...Robby Benson...I used to wear my hair just like that!..I'm sure glad none of you know who the fuck I am:-0

[megamanmaniac]

Never assume.

[TheSaviourV2]

as i am watching this video unsolved mysteries started on tv

[leshager]

hahahaa i remember when Leno used to hock Doritos

good times

[LuvvyDuck]

"Banquet Pies, 3 for 99 cents". Gad, read that and weep!

[bunnygal079]

I remember that Top Gun tape was on sale at Kmart for 19.99 tho lol

[sebbbo77]

HA HA @ Stevie wonder "TIME AND TIME AGAIN - U CAN DEPEND ON ME" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
