Classic Taco Bell Ad from 1984 Gotcha

[AntiVenom36]

That contest is over for a very long time. About 27 years ago. 2 years before I was even born yet.

[gopconservative78]

Taco Bell when they actually had meat in the Tacos......

[RileyM1989]

Taco Hell

[naturalpro2003]

@jjosephdubya What defines "big money"? From primetime T.V. to doing commercials?  Difficult to believe.

[naturalpro2003]

Julie Piekarski must have fallen on hard times to be doing Taco Bell commercials in the 1980s! LOL

[jjosephdubya]

@naturalpro2003 National commercials pay big money. That's not "hard times".

[naturalpro2003]

@imlatinoguy Who is now the U.S. President? It is not Bush anymore. Or is it just too easy to keep blaming Bush? Obama did not bring us into war, but did he end it the way he said he would? Absolutely NOT! So much for hope, and change. Besides, why are you referencing politics over a Taco Bell ad?

[samdoofy]

I want to punch that chick in the face.

[Bigbelfyiff]

I think the kid at the end just robbed someone.....

[imlatinoguy]

If I had $1,000 I could um do nothing. Thanks Bush! Wait why did LTCAproductions say thanks Obama? Did he take us in a War? or did he kill America's Most Wanted Terrorist?

[LTCAproductions]

1,000 dollars was like 100,000 and now its like 5 dollars thanks obama

[CanadianHitman08]

LMAO.. $1,000.00

[whirlwindshadow]

Gotcha diarrhea!

[burritoman12]

i like the token black kid at the end

[Aquarius01271992]

More like taco hell.

[kurtchrisandchad]

was this after Satan bought the company?

[Bryanccc3]

Damn were they all on crack or something?

[LedWilde]

They should bring back those uniforms. These days I don't like Taco Bell. Nasty to me. I wonder if it did taste better in 1984.

[g1nek17]

the little black kid at the end.... lol

[92soothsayer]

that woman is hot. i wander if she was that enthusiastic in bed?

she grabs and then looks at her guy and says "i reeally gotcha! ;D"

[bparkerpistons]

She's way too enthusiastic...

[kevico2]

Hey that's the girl from the original "Facts of Life"... Cool!

[popstar598]

Classic Taco Bell Ad from 1984 Gotcha / Five Toes as a Dancing Elf

[burninator34]

mmm 80's nacho sauce with a extra topping of trans fat and artificial coloring.

[artymowycz]

black people were allowed on TV back then?

[skorpionsks]

That kid at the end stole a thousand dollars.

[JohnQ1127]

@MrHoppers002,

It's Julie Piekarski, she was on the first season of "Facts of Life" and the "New Mickey Mouse Club" from the '70's.

[MrHoppers002]

is that actress jessica simpsons mother? she looks a lot like her. O.O

[anythingnew]

The days when $1000 was a lot of money.

[LedWilde]

@anythingnew $1,000.00 in 1984 had the same buying power as $2,131.78 in 2010.

[MonstahHD]

"Once you start playin', we GOTCHA!"

At least they're straight forward.

[iKeren1007]

GOTCHA BITCH!!

[UrgedCRUSHER]

@iKeren1007 LOL

[Ant29]

maybe they are using codes to eliminate paper waste. Yeeeahhhh.

[fgldnglbs]

Two other commercials with GOTCHA: Norelco and White Owl.

[zool43]

That girl is pretty hot!

[MonstahHD]

@zool43 // Not anymore LOL

[superfob54]

This was 1984? They musta been waiting for Michael Jackson to moonwalk in and steal all the nachos!

[pur3kill3r33]

the black kid at the end

[wheels85]

Well, I wasn't 16 in 1984. I was negative 1. Or something.

[wheels85]

Well, I wasn't 16 in 1984. I was negative 1. Or something.

[Lillzbe]

LMAO wow....her uniform was messed up. i wonder if they used to wear those

[res57]

Funny! Talloweed!

[Talloweed]

Wow. Look at how excited those people are to win Nachos BellGrande. What are they, hobos?

[trentcreek]

I wish they still had those uniforms

[dudisguy]

No purchase necessary? Then how do you get the gamepiece????

[Lex5576]

Nachos Bell Grande!! for heaven's sake......last time I ate those I tasted them for the next 9 hours. Each order ought to come with a half gallon jug of Malox!

[Luigi84289]

black people winning money lol.

[Zeskents]

@Luigi84289 not that funny bro..

[sgissweet845]

That girl sounds like she's on helium

[jeremyc311709]

I find it comforting to know that all of the food displayed in this commercial has already been eaten and converted to poop and flushed down the toilet.

[Sersh162]

0:06

Look how happy those niggers are. Almost makes you wish they weren't the inferior race.

[blackplaig]

@Sersh162 the fuck?

[lolgirly100]

they gotcha alright...

[EminemFan202]

I WANT A TACO BELL NACHO GRANDE FROM 1984... I don't care if it's old and moldy

[jpd782]

Whoa. She's kinda cute. Even though she's probably 50 or so by now.

[LAZAY727]

i want nachos from 1984 right now. i dont care if they're old

[snootzie78]

Same here. Taco Bell's nachos bell grande isn't like it used to be.

[TimHeilman1]

@LAZAY727 i found some under my bed last week if you still want them.

[GhostOfACPast]

@LAZAY727 Probably better than the new crap anyway.

[jbjindra]

@LAZAY727 lol..yuusss...me to. old school food commercials seem to make me crave that food way more..

[frednora]

@LAZAY727 Judging from all of the preservatives, the nachos probably look about the same as they did in 1984.

[rabidmule]

gotcha ffoo

[Jord141]

we gotcha, now shut the fuck up

[scatandpounce]

is there a mouse in a commercial cuz i heard squeak

[toastedravioli]

Nice to see former 70's Mouseketeer Julie Piekarski featured in this spot.

[fivebearrugs]

AKA Sue Ann from season one of "The Facts of Life" :)

[BadNews88]

Note to quinoacat:

Now would *you* refuse to make time with her if she & you were stranded on a desert island verging on 5 months?

Tell the truth, m8..

I know *I* wouldn't refuse...

[cypherpunk11]

I agree about that BS with entering codes on their websites. Call me old fashioned but I prefer a WINNER or SORRY on the underside of a sticker or cap.

[UsukButIRok]

Hurry! 10 more days until...you are officially...25 years late...

[2damax010101]

LOL!!!!!

[TheWhyFiles]

rip gidget!

[jfa213]

rip

[quinoacat]

Julie has a very annoying tone of voice in this commercial....someone quick shove a big burrito in her squeaky pie hole to shut her up.

[WAIATA4U]

Wow! Remember when playing those game pieces at fast food was easy...You peel or scratch, and you either win something or not...Simple.

Nowadays, you need to enter some bullshit code on the websites.

[LilDuprii]

@WAIATA4U not at burger king.

[Heavyweightchampionx]

@WAIATA4U Yeah I hate that enter code shit. I miss the mcdonalds monoply game myself

[wheels85]

@WAIATA4U Lol, yeah. Damn internet. Making things so complicated nowadays.

[Marckymarc71]

They fired her and hired Nancy McKeon.

Facts of Life FAIL

[lmordro]

She is cute!

[n00buler89]

Aw. I'm 25 years late.

[ewd76]

Gotcha!

[rgm1984]

Taco Bell, humanities #1 laxative choice. Gotcha!

[Byob333]

It's the opposite of a laxative if you ask me.

[rgm1984]

You're saying it'll cork you up? Uh oh!

[moedem]

[jliscorpio]

[Calle34]

[mso192]

And meaty and hot saucy. :) Taco Bell!

[YYZZZYYY]

they stopped puting chives on them.

[comgeek24]

i thought i was the only one who noticed.

[Electricspaceodyssey]

They Officially Announced It - So You Couldn't have Been The Only One - Its Becuase The Cheap Labor They (the Company Who Supplied Taco Bell With Its Chives) Hired Contaminated the Chives (from what i hear) not washing their hands after going to the bathroom - or going to the bathroom on/near the chives or where they are prepared or some mixture of that. they announced removing them on then news and various other forms of media DURING the outbreak.

[final58fant58]

taco bell aint mexican food real mexican food is like cabrito,igado,taco al pastor

[The1CamBo]

never heard of any of those places.

[utvol26]

[betchslap444]

they don't put olives on their nachos anymore!

[captainreview17]

[Destruction911]

If she said "Gotcha" one more time I would have slit her throat.

[sclock2]

[superheromike]

[seamusmackenzie]

does that kid at the end say gotya foo?

[MizNelson]

Ah, the 1980s, when nearly every fast food joint had brown in their color scheme. I don't remember ever seeing this spot itself, but heard part of it during a retro commercial medley on the radio several years ago. Thanks for the clip.

[IchigoMilkshake]

OMAGOD 1,000 Dollars!!!

o.o

[snootzie78]

I've always wondered what happened to that lady in the old Taco Bell commercials. Thanks for the videos!

[JoeSmoeX]

The old Taco Bell logo...crazy! BTW, I can still eat those nachos bellgrande like a mofo...

[BigTMan1]

The guy at the beginning had his throat slit in "Friday the 13th, Part 2" while hanging in a trap.

[floyd26n08]

i guess that was another way of "GOTCHA!" he got him alright.

[CKru8789]

It would be quite a scene if someone pulled out a card that was used in this commercial with all the nachos bellgrande ingredients and show it to them completed and then say "Where's my $1,000.00 bucks?" This commercial is what, almost 24 years old? Imagine the stares of the employees involved.

[xnerdsRflyyx]

that blonde with the curly hair is sue ann from the facts of life!

[ProjectKram]

This is why they refer to the 80's as the cocaine era.

[jGracePro]

lol its sue ann from facts of life!

[aip84]

damn.. win up to 1000 dollars, and hang with that fine ass broad, im headin to taco bell

[The1CamBo]

[himan3000]

[Gaashura]

WHAT???! ONE THOUSAND???!!

[acidtones1]

Wow. It's so dated now. The way they talk and stuff all sounds old now.

[purplegurl79]

HehHeh! I remember this! My mother was a manager for Taco Bell thoughout the '80s! I remember playing the game!

[bluelightningsniper]

I gotta play that game!Oh wait that was 23 years ago.

[bluelightningsniper]

Gotcha!!

[acidtones1]

Me too!

[mbrownkcmo]

I'm with ya. I would do everything to that girl.

[nnaw]

The actress is Julie Piekarski who is best known as "Sue Ann Weaver" in the early years of The Facts of Life, she was also a cast member of The New Mickey Mouse Club with her future Facts co-star Lisa Whelchel ["Blair Warner"].

[Jeff98177]

I thought so. I just saw another classic TB commercial with her in it.

[Jaybird1103]

Julie Piekarski was on The Facts of Life on the show's first season, but was then let go, and reduced to occasional appearances on the show and was on "The Little Chill" episode in 1986 were she told the girls she was successful but Jo (Nancy McKeon) later confronts her and makes her tell the truth that she was a go-fer. She is now married with 3 children and goes by Julie Piekarski Probst (her husband is not Survivor's Jeff Probst) and lives in her home town of St. Louis, MO.

[nnaw]

Oh, I'm a huge fan of Julie, I loved her as Sue Ann on The Facts Of Life, I thought the 1st 3 seasons were the best of the show [particularly the 1st where her, Felice Schachter, and Julie Ann Haddock had MUCH more screen time, yummm!!], no wonder that's all Sony has released on DVD!!

[FuzzyNachoz12]

I LIKE NAAAACHOS!

[pitamupau]

the last kid....his voice kills me...LOL

[zeldazackman]

gotcha bich!

[zsyed12345678]

[ghostchantxx]

[randallhead]

[Shoots1978]

No, not even close.

[drkmiller]

It looks like Dana Plato (RIP) from Diff'rent Strokes.

[h0lly1210]

[dudeinoakland]

Yes that's from the year 1984
