80's Commercials Vol. 24

[DiarmuidJason01]

Wow! A lot of commercials and promos of highlights on ABC in December 1989 including a TV Commercial Promo of MacGyver Season 5 Episode 11 The Madonna. I remember this episode well. It was aired on ABC on the 18th of December 1989. This was a christmas episode of Series 5 of MacGyver.

[izlude2]

wtffff i thought it was a robot all these yeeeeeears... it's a damn cash register T^T still the voice is funny haha

[stargazerblue186]

i love it when i hear it say new episode of the simpsons when it is still on to this day over 20 years

[Stephie2007]

i was a month old when these aired.

[Inediblehulk]

When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping?!

[Nox0verstreet]

Co Advil. Advil's sidekick!

[Nox0verstreet]

This is your brain on drugs. Any questions? Yeah, Can I get a side a bacon and some toast with that.

[Nox0verstreet]

Uh she gets off work and is stoked because she can finally have a stick of chewing gum? I don't about you but when I get off work I get my happy ass a beer and a shot.

[thesimpsonfan270]

@Chenoholic88 yeah i think it did



[TherealRNO]

@Wesleyjc1 : GameShowNetwork has it uploaded (minus the theme song, sadly, due to legalities & copyright), if you want to watch it.

[dedred5]

This is when I was 9.I remember all of these.

[lawpunker]

Ah yeah end of the day...time to crack open a stick of gum. After all, who needs a cool brew when you can have a stick of chewing gum?

[KiraBlaize]

Wow. The wrigley's commerical was buried in the recesses of my brain until I saw that.....ah...memories.

[superbro1938]

If I can remember these commercials that means I am getting old LOL

[HisTinkerCupcake78]

What the hell is CoAdvil?

[80sCommercialVault]

@HisTinkerCupcake78 The ad actually explains what it is pretty well. You might want to watch it sometime.

[mst3kanita]

@80sCommercialVault I could see why the product failed/eventually became "advil cold", "CoAdvil" is so awkward to say.

[TherealRNO]

At 5:33, the shopper resembles a well-known elusive female from the 80's/90's, computer game, game show, and cartoon star, Carmen Sandiego.

"Do it, Rockapella!"

[horrorvictim]

" This is your brain on drugs, any questions?"

Can I Eats it?

[TheAltair4]

Cool! My parents got me the Roger Rabbit VHS that year.

[TheAltair4]

@TheAltair4 Yep, it was in my stocking on Christmas morning.

[Johnlindsey289]

@TheAltair4

Same here and Santa put it in my stocking that morning.

[Johnlindsey289]

My god i had the Roger Rabbit video for Christmas when i was 8 years old.

[MattTheSaiyan]

"Coca-Cola Classic"....cool.

[krakken242]

You know my family has a tradition, every year we try to find new and creative way to give hallmark our money, you know hallmark, the creators of "holiday tradition" ? They make tons of money off of religion, holidays, and anything centered around celebration. now go buy those cards, put money in them and give them to family members yay.

[TD9001]

Damn, that egg cooked fast. That skillet must've been 1,000 degrees!

[LenaAndreia]

@TD9001 That's bachelor cooking for you.

[pitot1988]

The music are memorable! Love it

Wow 19.99 for a VHS tape?

[pitot1988]

The music are memorable! Love it

[jafri]

They later spawned another sequel of Drug PSA few years later but this time with Rachel leigh Cook.

[erin592]

All I can say is I wish that they could sell things like Co-advil again (advil plus sudafed combined). Now you can't buy sudafed over the counter, you have to get a prescription from your doctor. All the great sinus relief made very hard to get now because of the meth users.

[TwitchoProductionz]

scrambled eggs mhmmmmmmmmmmm i wish i could eat my brains

[MeInTX]

Ahhh..."Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire". 12-year-old me was unimpressed that evening. 33-year-old me has the DVD box set of every available season.

I'm kind of surprised they had a "MNF, then MacGyver" promo. Here in the Central Time Zone, where MacGyver came before the game, they always ran that that promo first, with a notation on the screen that said "Follows game on the West Coast". I figured they did that out west as well.

[rowdy8888]

Dr. Crusher and Geordie La Forge

[Baltimoreman78]

@rowdy8888 - No but cockroach got jungle fever

[klabkebash]

@Baltimoreman78 - Yea that's Cole from Martin..

[Baltimoreman78]

Hey, wasn't that Harvey Bullock in that Hundai commercial?

[onenonlyprincess2]

I would be a little scared if the computer register talked to me

[rickyfan3956]

@onenonlyprincess2 Yeah, I was just thinking I would scream and slap it!

[TheEmilyRoseShow]

That robot in the gum commercial reminds me of the movie Short Circuit and the robot's endless questions. lol

[livinginhawaii1971]

Whoa, I didn't know Hyundai was around since the 80's! I must not have really paid attention since I didn't have a drivers license. Love the commercials, wish we got more diverse commercials than the ones we have now.

[residentevil9888]

This is your brain on drugs. Any Questions? YEAH WHAT ARE YOU ON......hey Spence lets trip out-Freddy Krueger in freddys dead

[starrfisher]

It's neat to see that some things have never changed and some things have.

[SleazeThrobb12345]

My mom had a ton of hallmark stuff

[rockergirl83]

I remember that Wrigley's gum at the beginning. I have always and still hate that check out girl's voice! Sorry.....

[shortbusdriver]

i was seriously just wondering if it has always just been me or what..... til i read this post :)

[randir1488]

Wow epic mullet on Richard Dean Anderson

[garamonde]

Um I have a question, could I have some eggs please? I'm really hungry... mostly from doing drugs.

[Jeff98177]

That was Herman Munster's voice in the Hyundai commercial.

[danielledrules]

the levi's commercials are still really dramatic.

[texacobigred42]

I think it sucks that they dropped the Hank Williams Monday Night Football theme song when MNF moved from ABC to ESPN...

[megamanmaniac]

did they? last I saw he still did it even on ESPN.

[arachknight1979]

This is your brain on drugs. Any Questions?

Um, yeah. Could you explain it to me again please, and this time act more annoyed and slam the frying pan down harder? I still don't quite get it. It must be all the drugs I'm on.

[kskillerscream]

SAM KINISON!

I miss that guy

[ajpecanic]

When did the Fox network start? '88 or '89? Early Fox was great: the Simpsons, Married with Children, In Living Color.

[TheNoisePolluter]

"This is your brain on drugs" ...LoL That was practically home video quality! Now everything is digitally enhanced!

[Lagorditalinda17]

I suppose that CoAdvil is now Advil Cold and Sinus? lol

[Lagorditalinda17]

Wait, they recently showed Apple Cinnamon Cheerios on TV again! And they said it's New! lol

[Lagorditalinda17]

Does anyone else notice that at the Wrigley's commercial, the black guy gets to only say "cool" even after a freaking register starts to talk? And the way he acts, hilarious! And what is he looking at on 00:05???? hahahahaahha!!! "Cool!"

[LouisvilleCardinal72]

If I saw that right, I think that is "cockroach" from The Cosby Show.

[Lagorditalinda17]

Wow! Yes, It is him! LOL COOL!! hahhahahaha!! I looked at another video here on YouTube and you're right.

[megamanmaniac]

Good eye!

[Lafours]

the term "drugs" was used vaguely back then...which drugs the one you get from a "friend" or the ones with government lobbyists

[alienshinobi84]

Sam Kinison as a guardian angel. That's pretty bad for Al Bundy.

[fryersoncaptain]

(In response to Youth Plus)

I'm sorry, Timmy, you'll be getting a Youth Minus on this assignment. "Because it's awesome" isn't enough of an explanation. *smack*

And, before anyone gets all intelligent, I get that Youth Plus has nothing to do with grading, or anything but the enrichment of the youth of the late eighties. So please don't think I'm oblivious to truth, because I made a joke.

[greenmanjph]

Yes, I have a question. Can I have 2 brains on drugs with buttered toast, hash browns and a cup of coffee?

[webmistress80]

HAHAHA!! Fucking awesome!!

[fryersoncaptain]

That'll be $3.50. You want cream with your coffee, sugar, or somethin'?

[seattlesfinestwrx]

The Wrigley's commercial is awesomely epic.

[Mark2756042]

That MacGyver Christmas episode looks cheesy in that ad but it was honestly one of the best Christmas stories I've ever come across.

[celerytime]

"A Christmas miracle brings a statue to life .. Macgyver!"

[almadora]

mmm, with a little salt and chopped chives, that sizzling 'brain on drugs,' looks pretty tasty to me. yum.

[animegal2686]

Major lol there. :-)

[lonewulf44]

wow .. even the first spearmint ad I remember ... great stuff! Thanks for posting!

[pemagrey]

wow! it really doesn't seem like that long ago that they came out with apple cinnamon cheerios! i can't believe it!

[animegal2686]

Just curious, do you know if they still make this kind of Cheerios?? I enjoyed this cereal very much as a kid.

[monarchofvideos]

yeah, they still make them, but they're no longer being marketed towards kids (i know the commercial here wasn't for kids either, but nearly every other commercial I saw for the cereal over the years was during kids shows).

[yEAiMtHATcOOL]

Oh god..Apple Cinnomon Cheerios is hilarious

[princessamina1]

Oh my achy head and stuffy nose...where can I get me some CoAdvil??

[chocobuzz19]

Well you can't get that without I.D. ma'am lol

[athleticsgirl23]

I loved Apple Cinnamon Cheerios!!! I think this has been my favorite one out of all 24 so far. Still can't believe the price of VHS tapes!!!

I use to watch Channel 2 when I'd visit my dad and my grandparents. Brings back great memories. Who would have thought that commercials could make everyone emotional!!

[alphaerik]

That guy with the fried egg, are you gonna eat that. I just did a fat bowl in the other room and I have got the munchies real bad!

[80sCommercialVault]

Yes. Everything after 4:07 comes from a recording of that...

[tabooman]

RIP Sam Kinison.

That was one of my favorite episodes of "Married With Children" ever.

[DesolateMinds]

Santa Claus

[agltbialik]

Leslie Griffith was hawt, but she's no Elaine Corral, that's for sure!

[troodon311]

Robots had way cooler voices back in the 80s
