80's Commercials Vol. 35

[MattTheSaiyan]

There are plenty of 1980s things that should come back. The haircuts in the "Alberto Hair Sculpture" commercial are *not* among them.

[Johnlindsey289]

OMG i was 5 years old when i saw Lady and The Tramp that december plus i saw Star Trek 4, Little Shop of Horrors 3 times and of course Amercail Tail 3 times.

[NoctemOUT]

I think my family had those Visions pots/pans- from what I remember they felt more like they were made from glass, like Pyrex.

[MeInTX]

Those hairstyles in the Alberto ad--wow.

Nothing says the holidays like a bad sequel to a baseball movie!

The older brother in the K-Mart ad is a lot nicer than I would have been at that age.

I would have been 9 at Christmas '86, so I'm pretty sure I thought I was too cool to go see a Disney movie. Given that "Lady and the Tramp" will probably never be on the big screen again, that would not rank among my finer childhood decisions.

Watching these Christmas commercials reminds me that summer is comming to a close grrrrrr!!!!! much, much, much to fast this year.

[razorangelfreak]

Those Visionware pots are awesome. my dad's had them since I was little, and they still look and work great.

[rockergirl83]

Visions Cookware by Corning. My grandmother has these and still uses them to this day. They are awesome.

[kari00ws6]

People really loved their gum back then.

[Ribelin2000]

At the time she did "Babes in Toyland", Drew Barrymore was already drinking and smoking pot (and would start using cocaine a year later). Keep that in mind while watching this!

[starrfisher]

I saw that Babes in toyland. And then months ago I bought it on VHS.

[Ratgrappler]

Go for style? Well if Alberto says so...

[danielledrules]

pre christmas commercials haven't changed since the 80s'

[Dragnmastralex]

lol santa ate all that kids oreos and didn't leave him a present... next year santa the cookies have arsnic!

[niico9]

We still use the Corning visions saucepan at least 3x a week. Truth in advertising for a change, it's a great pan, wish I had a few more.

[tastelikedillonbacon]

i wish we hadn't like made so much new shit like technology shit and it was more like the 90's and 80's

[greenmanjph]

I remember having the Visions cookware and I thought they worked pretty well. I can only wonder why, if they worked so well, we reverted back to the old metal pots and pans.

[itachifanboy1023]

where i go they call it getting dropped and even that name is freaky but still they r the same thing

[dignityshmignity]

At 4:08, the elf is Magneto! More awesome commercials! THANK YOU

[Lafours]

4:17 theyre not santa clones...theyre gnomes on a work release...i believe the elves were on strike that year.

[Lafours]

ah the 80's when women had flattops..."Goozer the Goozarian!?, Good evening!"

[monarchofvideos]

I don't think that Burger King tagline's really the best, since it seems more like *these* "ain't nothin' like the real thing" as opposed to *there* "ain't nothin' like the real thing"...not something you want customers to be thinking when they're eating fast food chicken lol

[simpsonsfan89]

I'm pretty sure CBS did their own version of Babes In Toyland not but three years earlier.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[churlyryan]

Commercials were so much fun to watch back then.

[Johnnythemonkey26728]

I've seen that babes in toyland. It's horrendous.

[kidmclain]

the 80s were such great times, things seemed better back then

[pandaKrusher]

So I was thinking to myself, "hey, those Visions by Corning look pretty good, I wonder why I don't see them anywhere. I want one." Then I looked it up, and "the line was ended due to safety concerns." Dammit.

[80sCommercialVault]

They look like they were made of some sort of polymer/plastic, which doesn't exactly seem like the safest material for cooking utensils.

They do look pretty awesome though.

[EKS511]

Safety concerns? Uh-oh. I have them and still use them.  They were my mother's.

[JoeEkaitis]

@pandaKrusher It's still for sale brand new. Find a Corning, Corelle and More factory store or Google "visions cookware". Most internet sites are confusing Pyrex, which was never meant for stovetop use and can shatter if misused, with Visions, which is made from a transparent amber version of Pyroceram.

[sugarrrsmack]

I also had that santa poster. Even with all the cotton balls on, santa still looked pretty scary!

[athleticsgirl23]

Oh and PS, I loved the dude on Highway to Heaven with the A's hat. He looked just like my dad AND wore the hat of my first and only love....yeah A's!

[athleticsgirl23]

It's absolutely shocking to me that these commercials are recently 22 years old....wow.....

BTW I LOVED those calendars. They use to be at displays at the grocery store. I'd do good putting the cotton balls on there for about a week then it'd get lost or thrown away....

[carlitosbug]

Is there a TV spot to Little Shop of Horrors in this video?

[80sCommercialVault]

No...there isn't. Is it so much to ask that you actually watch the video beforehand to determine its contents?

[AdamCartwrightMyLove]

@80sCommercialVault , I just love to read you're comments to those who choose to ask dumb questions, I sure get a real chuckle everytime.I look for them everytime I watch the next batch of these great classic commercials.Like that old saying goes YOU'RE THE BOMB!!

[DesolateMinds]

I had that poster, i remember putting on the cotton on his beard. I wonder if i got a photo of it.

[Kimothy80]

I SO REMEMBER THAT OREO COMMERCIAL!!!!

Also, that 7Up commercial never scared me.

[gmf1976]

I remember that Wrigley's jingle...great stuff!

[troodon311]

Those lady twins are probably in their 50s by now, I don't think they'd look too attractive in any hairstyle. I'm hoping the guy twins are dead, somehow, anyhow. Heart attack, car accident, it's all good.

[kittymow321]

those elves scare me xD its like Santa's little mini me's xD

[churlyryan]

Those Santa elves are gold!
