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.
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.
@1:22, later that night the inventer of the EX long dog was found dead in a dumpster with what looked like a seiriese of bite marks to the juguler vain... there are no leads..........XD
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!!!
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.
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
@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.
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.
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
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!
@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!
@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.
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 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.
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. :)
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.
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!"
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 ...
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.
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.
@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
@ 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 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
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.
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!
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!
amazing stuff. brings back to many memories! consider me a subscriber. you rock! :)

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.

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.

I spent most of my childhood in Buffalo, NY, where the
commercial was aired pretty often.

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.

@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

@ 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.

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

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 -- 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!
