  • amazing stuff. brings back to many memories! consider me a subscriber. you rock! :)

  • Ugh that dark haired kid in the Pepsi commercial played a brat on some show...I forget which one...and I cringed as soon as I saw him

  • @cbecrad He was on the show "Free Spirit", which I've posted a few episodes of.

  • 1:10 cant help but giggle at "bun sized weiners"

  • 7:38 CLASSIC

    

  • The graphics on the products.. so simple, so plain.

  • Even with a bad toupee and a nylon track suit, Tony Bennet is still a class act!

  • ah...I love watching commercials from the 80's. No lawsuit or lawyer commercials.

  • tony must have been low on cash

  • Comment removed

  • Which button on the remote removes Teri Garr's blouse? Oh right, the flash forward button.

  • the kid with the butter and muffin is dressed like Chucky!

  • Awesome that I found these...watching the third one now, and I just noticed something:

    Everyone seems to be relatively the same size, they are all thin. Hmm...

  • Never been to a theme park...........my 30 years have been a waste lol

  • She had to multiply 10 x 52 on a calculator?

  • Refreshments were probably better since back then they were big and employees must've work hard to make refreshment out of love. Now they seem lazy, and these days most drinks are being mixed with different formulat like vanilla and cherry. Although vanilla pespi wasn't so bad at all but it was limited time because of high sugar which is bad for people with high blood pressure these days.

  • Bay Area!!!!

  • Beverly hills cop for the win!!!

  • Im 16 and im like WOWWW these commericials have sooo much singing and music

  • I really miss that Dimetapp grape flavor elixir. I think they got rid of it because people were chugging it.

  • @Rubystars1000 I used to beg my mom to let me drink the bottle. That stuff was good.

  • I miss the 80s cheesiness and all.

  • Car phone.

    HA!

  • I remember the contadina commercial...

  • Ralph: "WHAT THE FUCKKKKKK?! This is bullshit! I want that fucking bun!"

  • I was serving the Army in Germany during '88 so I haven't seen any of these commericials. Sort of wierd.

  • I had to stop at the hotdog commercial, i fell out of my chair

  • Jeep eagle?

  • Sorry folks.....I'm leaving this era....I'm going back to the 80s.

  • Just the 80s commercials are better than most everything playing on TV now in my opinion! I could watch these all day haha

  • I would give anything for a remote that would refil my pepsi!!!!

  • WTF is a "Jagwaaaar?" LOL

    

  • Alright! Beverly Hills Cop is comin' on tonight! Who wants to watch with me?

  • Is it me or did soft drinks look way more refreshing back then?

  • Wow. Lots of local California commericals. I'm a Canadian from Toronto. In the 80's our US channels came from Buffalo, NY. But those national commericals brought back memories.

  • The two little boys in the dinner.. awwwwww

  • These came out when I was 2 months and 5 days old. lol

  • the energy vitamin is SOO much better than that 5 hour energy commercial lol

  • 7:58 That is a BIG ASS muffin. Lol. And GEZUS, thats a lot of margarine. xP

  • Ha Ha, the news after the night movie, Beverly Hills Cop. Yes!

  • Wow 8.8% financing!

  • I remember when I was a kid in the 80's, I used to watch TV just for the commercials sometimes.

    They're so... positive and entertaining, like they were made by real people instead of focus groups and committees.

    I still think the 1980's were the peak of our civilization.

  • Why is the color so...faded in these commercials? I don't know, it just seems you can tell these are from the 80's even if they didn't tell you. The color of modern commercials is always so crisp and bright.

  • @fubukifangirl Many VHS tapes recorded from this period have a distinct yellow cast and muted colors. This is a product of the VHS format and is not indicative of the original video quality. I've found from experience that Betamax had much better color reproduction than VHS.

    This is also one of the first commercial compilations I posted, and is basically a direct transfer from the VCR with no color-correction applied.

  • @fubukifangirl the colors aren't faded thats the way everything looked on tv and in real life back in the eighties

  • LMAO @ "Lucky's" commercial. "$520!!! That's a couple weeks wages for me. You have to be thrifty with your money now-a-days." Really? Because $1.00 for a gallon of gas is highway robbery!!!

  • I remember Luckys!

  • Tony Bennett looks like Phil Leotardo from the Sopranos in that tracksuit

  • Imagine living in a society where people ate caviar every night, used gold leaf tissues, etc, and never even thought anything of it. When you look at how beautiful even commercials used to be, it's kind of like that. Everything was shot on film and it was beautiful. Now watch our newer digitally-shot commercials, which look so dead and cheap. Look up the new Ford "Swap Your Ride" ads and realize we used to live in that "caviar" world where even the lowliest of media was like looking at heaven.

  • damn the girl driving for the 1st time looked old

  • 7:52, that was a LOT of butter

  • @honeycomb97 It's margarine.

  • @80sCommercialVault I can't believe it's not butter.

  • 4 people's weiner's don't reach the end of the bun

  • I wonder how scared that person in the Mickey suit was? I mean, he was standing on top of Epcot for crying outloud.

  • @SonicStantz I know, really!

  • I was just about to say that bun sized weiners

  • That girl driving for the first time looked 25

  • I wish these fast food, beverage, and clothing companies would bring back these retro labels for just one year! :) that would be awesome. they'd get so much business just casue of the nostalgia... the old bown pizza hut boxes, old Coke label cans, old mconalds an burger king wrapings an cups:) i know i lknow I've seen the retro pepsi cans they just released and the 80s capn crunch boxes. its awesome:).. but i want more!!!  lets start a petition to get these companies to bring them back

  • I hate the commercial ads on YT but I love watching these nostalgic ads?

    Sorry Ralph.lol

  • It seems that back in the 80's 8.8% financing was the best rate you could get on a car loan.. That's something that wasn't better back then.

  • @aldo2024 Yeah that is true. I was at my bank today to open an IRA and I got to talking with the teller and she remembers getting 17% on a CD account in the 1980's. I do miss that.

  • commercials in the 80s are better than tv today

  • Hey, how many commercials does Tony Bennett make in San Francisco? Is he the City Spokesperson or what?

  • I noticed in the ads the United States actually looked like the United States. How I miss those days.

  • I had a crush on Terri Garr

  • 80s cars are so damn ugly

  • Is it wrong I wasn't alive then and still enjoy these commercials? I also suppose with old commercials (of any decade really) one can, along with products still around and some that should never have been made, also see plenty of ideas worthy of revival and a second chance.

  • 1-800-4- jaguar still works. called the number myself

  • @reba062002 lmao you really serious???

  • @jonathansrant thats cool man it will serve you better to ignore all the propaganda

  • There is no doubt that the 80's was the last real decade where all the fraud or conditioning in advertising wasnt so blatantly obvious. It was almost nonexistent but still did exist in some mild form. Actual news or journalism still existed but was on its way out for half truths or outright lies. Sorry to get political but that is key in my mind as to what powers that be attempt to accomplish thru advertising and programming today. I do not watch TV except for sports

  • wow I actually remember some of these and I'm only 28.

  • Ah Epcot, where you can get drunk off your ass then go back to Magic Kingdom and REALLY have fun!

  • Are leotards dated and cheesy? Yes.

    Are busty blonds bouncing around in them sexy? Yes again.

  • These were the days. No cell phones, and women dressed sexy, not slutty.

  • I wish I couldve experienced the 80s it seemed like such a great decade.

    I was born in '93 a few years too late.

  • BUN SIZE WEINERS!

  • I remember when T.J. Maxx opened up in San Francisco, and it was the only one, the jingle went "San Francisco, San Francisco, T.J. Maxx..." The jingle must have made them so successful, they were able to branch out!

  • I was born in the wrong time. Everything was cooler in the 80's. Even the commercials were cool!

  • @MichaelJacksonLova14 I know. Kids growin up in th 90s and 00's missed out. You guys got all the crap - I mean racism, Muslims, terrorists, frivalous law suits...NONE of that existed in the 80's. Yeah, we had AIDS and Reagan, but I was too young to have sex and didnt care about politics. Everything rocked back then. I only hope this decade 2010 - 2020 gets better. But nothing can top the 80s.

    Wish you the best in the new year, my friend. Hang in there, well get thru it together!

  • @tellurye I couldn't have said it better myself :) 80's ruled. Greatest time in history lol :) Happy late New Year to you :)

  • @tellurye No racism in the 80's? No Muslim terrorists either? I love the 80's, but please crack open a history book.

  • @80sCommercialVault Yeah, I know I exaggerated. But you got to admit, was far less than it is now. Since 9/11, there have been over 16,000 attacks worldwide...was no where near that number in the 80s.

  • @80sCommercialVault

    Good old Ghadaffi is back in the news now...remember him in the early 80s. I remember this kid in school wearing a t-shirt that said Kaddaffi Duck with a donald duck-like impression wearing a turbon! LOL

  • @tellurye come on man.. i grew up as a kid in the 80s and yeah i have a major nostalgia for the 80s now, but thats no reason to crap on these kids dude.. its not their fault. dont forget these kids and next generations are getting smarter, especially because of the technology their growing up with and they hold our future in their hands so lets give them a break and a little credit.

  • @JDBernal82 I wasn't crapping on them, I was sympathizing because I feel I was lucky and they werent. Go back and re-read. also, read where the kid agrees with me. He didnt take it bad, why did you?

  • @tellurye i wasnt taking it wrong. just saying. and sorry bout that

  • @tellurye Oh trust me, I wish I could cut them a break. I think of how blessed I was - hopefully you were too. Sure there was crap, but you have to admit - no where near what we have now. I wanted kids so bad, now I would be a horrible parent, seems like so much crap now. Nowadays, I have to convert to Islam, or be punished! The only good thing now, is the KKK is almost non-existant. Only like 3,000 members now as opposed to 2 million before. Sorry Im so negative. WE can make it better!

  • Service Station??? Not anymore! I remember getting my tire pressure checked and signing the credit card receipt after the attendant brought it on a plastic clip board.

  • YAY Canada...WOOT WOOT!

  • best 3 years of my life.

  • DIMETAPP?! LMAO

  • that cats dead now

  • 6:17 thats what she said

  • @thechairman123 lmao

  • You've only had your license 1 day, even though you're 22

  • May 15, '88 huh? I was about two weeks from graduation. Man, 22 plus years ago, and I remember those like it was yesterday (Well, except for the local ads). I'm loving this series. Nostalgia is a double edge sword. It makes me smile reminiscing during the commercials, it makes me sad longing for those days. :)

    Thanks for posting these.

    Cheers.

  • "Bun sized wieners" lol

  • @FanOfPopCulture Mom like 'em too ^^

  • 2:11 looks like actor Chris Young :)

  • Boooo to Magic 61! They killed my favorite radio station KFRC 610am!

  • I remember the diet Pepsi one at the beginning. These commercials seemed to be better sales pitches than today's commercials- more convincing (although modern commercials that are funny do get my approval.

    Anything beats those old 50s commercials with all the cheesy, bad acting and hideous music.

  • That looked like a McDonald's burger instead of a Burger King burger.

    But anyways I missed this decade even though I only experienced 1988 and 1989 while beeing born in 1986. The 80's is a hole lot better than this decade we are living in except the technology which is of corse.

  • @conkerboy700, i'm actually mad too. Why did i had to be born in 1999?

  • @FunnyComputerGenius wow 99 the 90s were the best when Clinton was around

  • Nice... bun sized WEINERS

  • BUN SIZE WIENERS

  • She needed a calculator to multiply 10 by 52?

  • Bun Size Wieners lol I don't think they could get away with that today.

  • Why is it in every diet soda ad it is a woman? Not every woman drinks diet!

  • @ihatetaft... This is the 80's, not the new millenium. Ads cater to what was popular of the times.

  • Ahh, I was born in this generation, but I want to keep the new technology, just have the culture back like the 80's, with nicer teens that don't say "OH YO FUCKED UP NOW! YO YOU FUCKED UP! FUCKED! UP!"

  • man if everyone in the world was as friendly as those people in the Shell commercial this world would be great:)

  • LOL bun sized weiners... just look for this nice young man on the label

  • that's the EPCOT Center?!?! damn that shpere is fucking huge!! GO SEE IT!!

  • Back when America was a better time... *tear* :'(

  • @Moviestar20 Yeah, no cellphones!

  • lol I wish shell was that nice.

  • Wells Fargo will be a major player once it changes the names of all Wachovia Banks Nationwide... and can you believe the pricing of some of those products ...

  • i wish i can go to epcot center for the summer

  • First of all, thank you to 80sCommercialVault. I can't believe that watching commercials can be so addicting, but boy, do they bring me back to a simpler time. Also, it freaks me out that there are kids old enough to wish they lived when I was a kid. I used to think the same thing about the 60s, when I was growing up in the 80s and 90s. Now, I would kill to go back to the 80s. I didn't know how good we had it back then.

  • I love how all these commercials have a group singing the slogan at the end. XD

  • Wow, kid, that's a huge chunk of Imperial margarine you've put on your muffin. Hello, childhood obesity!

  • Whoa, I have that Dimetapp commercial on an old Muppet Show tape xD

    Also, it's sad that the lady had to use a calculator to do 10 x 52 lol.

  • Hear those artists mentioned on the Magic commercial? (from the 40's/early 50's?) They just don't have stations like that anymore. Even the malt shop era is pretty much passe on radio. Also, you can see an early cellphone on the Western Union commercial here.

  • Lots of the '80s culture was influenced by the teen '50s scene (neon signs, neo-doo wop, some of the fashion). But some stuff, like Epcot Center, was totally '80s.

  • @pannoni1 The concept for EPCOT was designed by Walt Disney in 1965, heavily influenced by what he saw at the 1964 New York World's Fair. The final product was very different (And unfortunately less ambitious) but I'd argue that the actual ideas behind EPCOT are more a product of the 60's than the 80's.

  • wow... Epcot with mickey on the top!

  • Love the Canada commercial!

    I spent most of my childhood in Buffalo, NY, where the

    commercial was aired pretty often.

  • Bun size WEINERS!!!!!!

  • Loved the Diet Pepsi ad, very classic with the music. Other goods ones were the Eagle and Canada ads, the jingle in the latter being amazing.

  • I was born in 75 and my childhood was awesome! I loved the 80's

  • i miss the 80s i was a kid then good times

  • lol did she really need a calculator for 10 x 52?

  • @kari00ws6 back in the 80's you needed a calculator for everything. Tahts why calculator watches were such a hot item back then. dotn worry, the little kids of today will laugh at the huge laptops and cell phones we are using twenty years from now

  • Holy crap these commercial make me hungry and thirsty.

  • I barely missed the 80s. I was born in 1990. :-( It's sad cause I love all that 80s stuff.

  • @jm5390 I was born in 1990, too.

  • Memory lane again :D. Thanks for putting this up. I miss the 80's..was a great time for me in my teens then.

  • 07:32

  • @ stinger200, as been noted before to younger people wishing they grew up in the 80's: just remember - I remember when having cable with 25 channels was a big deal! No one had internet. When you wanted to hang out with friends you called their home and hoped they were there, if not - tough luck. You had to wait around for your g/f or b/f to call and hoped no one was hogging the phone...different times, not exactly better though.

  • All of the technology you mention is pretty superficial and irrelevant when it all comes down to it. If I time-traveled back to the 80's, I'm sure I'd have internet withdrawal at first, but I'd get over it.

  • It all depnds on how you live now. If now you spend most of your time reading books, or hanging out with your friends just talking, or playing sports, you could make it if you went back. But if you spend most of your time now on the internet, and with TV and other electronic media you wouldn't. Skinnyblink mentioned 25 channels on Cable, but the MAJORITY of Americans actually didnt have Cable until the early 90's. So you had 7 channels, and some of those went off the air when it got late.

  • @80sCommercialVault

    Stinger for example suggested that he hates books, and has modern video games over every inch of his profile. I doubt he would make it haha.

  • @80sCommercialVault You bet. Id give up every video game, computer and cell to go back to the 80's. Sure we had AIDS and Reagan, but I was too young to have sex, and didnt care about politics. I was in heaven!

    My wife will tell you, I STILL havent grown up!  lol

  • @tellurye I'm with you, man. I was 17 when these aired, and seeing this so took me back.

  • @skinnyblink7 They were better and they'll never be as innocent again.

  • @skinnyblink7

    Hi!

    I agree with your comment. It's quite true that the things that most people have today weren't around at all. Cell phones, internet access, vehicle airbags, email, mp3 players, CDs, DVDs, etc. were not around just yet, however, they did come around during the 90s. I was born in 1980, and pretty much remember how things were like back in that era.

  • @skinnyblink7 i agree

  • @skinnyblink7

    ohh man i think ur wrong. I miss the 80s. it was def. a better time for me. i was born in '83 some of my best memories are from 86-94. i had some good memories in 2000s.. but the 80s were the best decade of my life.

  • @skinnyblink7 -- Or call them on your dad's Atari XEGS modem hehe. I grew up in the 1980s so I remember. The 13-25 channel TV cabel box. The huge video camcorders that cost $1,500.00. Automobiles with no extras except better heating or stereo sound. AM/FM only walkmans with cassette only playability. Huge Betamax or VHS machines where buying a VHS tape cost $40.00 and renting cost $4.00 a night, and movies took like ten months to come out on VHS. Just some stuff. I remember it all so well.

  • @skinnyblink7 OMG!! You are crackin me up!! I remember TV, and yeah, calling on phone, praying they were there - I remember when call waiting was a big deal - getting mad cause Mom didnt get off the phone while your g/f called back and you missed the call!! And that TJ Maxx commercial!! I totally forgot about that, and that was my first job! I SO wish I had a hot tub time machine to go back to the 80s!

  • @skinnyblink7 Not exactly worse either....

  • Who the hell is the wonderful singer of that canada commercial at 03:00 !!??

  • man these commercials bring me back i love this series

  • lul at bun size wieners Bahahaha

  • The days when cars were made to last, unlike the cheap yet inexpensive ones today!

  • Love u MJ and miss u!

  • The 80's rule!!! MY decade and childhood.

  • ATM's came out in the 80's?

  • ATM's were invented in the late 60's and were in use by the early-mid 70's.

  • Wow I did not know that. You learn something new everyday. Cool.

  • "bun sized weiners" w/ a little boy's picture on the lable. disturbing, yet amusing.

  • I love being a child of the 80' no decade better. Things were fun, innocent, and the absolute best. I remember my hi-tops, my teddy ruxpin, and all of the classic, everything, that made the decade great!

  • wish i was there =( tell me more

  • mullet at 6:55

  • lived it,loved it.if i were to choose which decade i would live in,i would choose the 80's every time.heavy metal and hi-tops rule!
