80's Commercials Vol. 5

[hank220]

Night court. That was a great show.

[cpac555]

Awesome - thanks

[AcidBurn5009]

that country crock commercial seems like yesterday.

[richirth]

Go 49ers!!!

[FinlaythePug]

Nice glasses doc! 1:30 haha! That baby is about as old as me now! =P It's amazing how wholesome commercials were back then.

[KodeLiMe]

The Burger King commercial has the dad from Pete & Pete!

[antwhatever]

99 cents for a big mac damb i really feel old at 32 lol



[erkblitz2]

JUICE!!!!!

[Gregb7677]

@erkblitz2 and 96 whole ounces!

[KEYSERSOZE1965]

I always loved how half of these commercials featured stuff going on that had nothign to do with the product being advertised.

[mjndblain]

so many mullets...

[Rubystars1000]

I remember seeing all those pert commercials

[OldLadyUU]

I can remember the Bounty commercials with Rosie for some reason.

[Nox0verstreet]

My mother used to always get Hershey's Symphony bars with almonds.

[entertainme3000]

I hate Big Mac's

[reptilianskin]

@entertainme3000 Big Mac's are awesome. When I was a kid, you were a grown up if you graduated from the hamburger or cheeseburger to the Big Mac. Don't mess with my memories of my teen years! hahaha

[entertainme3000]

I never knew Julia Louis_Dreyfus was on Day by Day.

[DarthSideous63]

@entertainme3000 And that's her real life husband Brad Hall. They were on SNL.

[Retrofanatic10]

I love that 2 voices from cartoons are in this compilation. Jack Riley in the Country Crock commercial , the voice of Stu from ``Rugrats'' , and Howard Morris in the Promo for ``Save the Dog , the voice of Wade the Duck from Garfield & Friends.

[nosferatusbutt]

Take a sniff, pull it out.

The taste is going to move ya when you pop it in your mouth. LOL

[Zerker8]

The "Dad" from Pete & Pete was Hardy Rawls.

[laichi16]

Yes, my family used "Pert Plus." I used to watch "Alf!!!" I even had the Alf doll. And my family used Crest, until the 90s, when we changed to Colgate, and my mom washed our clothes with Tide. OMG; David Letterman's hair is BROWN!!! Um, stick butter did NOT spread that easily, unless it was room temperture. And Juicy Fruit was 25 cents??

[80sCommercialVault]

@laichi16 Country Crock is not butter...it's margarine.

[MrMammon]

Even after all these years, and despite the fact I was five in 1989 (well, still 4 according to the date you give for these commercials), the Juicy Fruit jingle is still stuck in my mind to this day.

[chauncy817]

I always wondered why they had Joe Montana on this Disney commercial for superbowl XXIII when Jerry Rice was the MVP. No big deal i was just wondering.

[80sCommercialVault]

@chauncy817 The player chosen for the ad is typically the MVP, but that hasn't happened 100% of the time. It's possible that either Rice declined to do the ad, or that they were looking for a bigger name like Joe Montana.

[b017ni3]

thank you thank you thank you!! I've been looking for the "I'm going to Disneyland" commercial with Joe Montana!! and I could have sworn I could almost smell the Pert Plus right when the commercial started...

[wilddriversb]

Gah! Almost every commercial has some jingle that sounds like it's composed and performed by the same group.

[RantNRavinFection]

ahah oh man i havent had a juicy fruit in years...i remember this one in the early 90s with the beetle car and someone picking it up with ease after having juicy fruit

[LenaAndreia]

Ahhhh, the Symphony bar! I remember seeing this commercial as a kid and I wanted to try that bar. The Symphony bar with toffee and almonds is still my FAVORITE candy bar. :3

[milovela1983]

big mac was just 99 scents???? i don't remember that

[MattTheSaiyan]

99cents in 1989 money is $US1.75 in 2010 money. Also....wow, crest sure used that "recommended by more dentists" thing in their advertising for many decades!

[steelangelriver]

I remember several of these commercials like it was yesterday especially the pert plus one. Funny thing is my parents both used to use that shampoo for years well on through the 90's to. Then around some point they both went to something different. I even remember my mom getting the pert plus for kids for my sister and I to use as kids. I was 7 89 boy time flies.

[llparad0xll]

"my two dads" would be a totally different show these days, lol.

[BlankParty]

I used to love that red haired lady in the Bounty commercials.

[Jeff98177]

@BlankParty The late great Nancy Walker.

[FireAlarmMan458]

My mom LOVES Alf LOL.

[Hawgknot]

The male voice for the Country Crock commercial was Tommy Pickles dad from the Rugrats, Stu Pickles!!! I had that one figured out when I was about 10......(im 24 now)

[Hawgknot]

i used to watch "Night Court"!!!!  until now, i'd forgotten about that show!!!

[WickedPlumVintage]

i see the country crock commercials haven't changed much in 20+ years...

[RevolutionOfCG]

First it was 'Valerie', then it was 'Valerie's Family', then it was 'The Hogan Family' and finally, it was 'The Hogans.' I've never seen the name of a show change so many times.

[Rawr98]

you used to CLEAN contact lenses? HOW?

[rickygervais1776]

Dr. Larry Sweet at your service, ladies.

[Carcilwen]

Now that is some 80s hair. Damn, this was from the year I was born, too.

[anthonycart]

Hell na when San Fransico took the Super Bowl. It was Icky Woods rookie year.  Nice.

[derryk1]

Catchy memorable jingles back then, now they just take old 80s pop and use them as jingles for todays spots. Lazy and noncreative...? Maybe or just appealing to the choice of the old "new generation" cause we are all 35 and up now, we make the money and we spend the money. So it's more for nostalgic purposes to get us spending. However, either way you look at it, I still love those old jingles on those old commercials and I remember them all 20+ years later. That's the power of advertising.

[sexykitten0627]

"I want a tomato, bacon, and lucky sandwich." At 6:37 I wish I had that hair style again.

[redneckpride4ever]

Oh my God- 99 cent double cheeseburgers- I miss those- they cost a whole buck now...fucking inflation!

[philenblank]

2:09 is the dad from "the adventures of pete and pete" right?

[mjdc2505]

Damn, Big Macs costed 99 cents, now they are over 3 dollars.

[MyPersonalVendetta]

Whoppers were 99 cents through the 90's, as well.

[quidseeker]

I wanna do Charlette Rae 80s porn style, aka in a spa on Venice Beach set to clunky synth arrangements....bring back this decade!!! Joe Montana at Disneyland watching captain EO drinking a can of coke....somebody call this decade up and tell it to come out of witness protection.

[lilypops81]

1:35 You're not my father.

[KalelClarkKent82]

i have to admit although the 80s commercials were awesome..the brands labels were so bland and plain lol:) soo awesome tho... i love how Pepsi just now brought back the 80s Pepsi throwback cans!!! did anyone else ever notice that the guys voice in the butter commercial was the voice of Stu from Rugrats dad in the 90s cartoon?

[emceegonz]

@KalelClarkKent82 Yea, i actually noticed that in the 90's... those Country Crock commercials with the unseen couple (only their hands) ran for several years. Sometime in the early 90's I was like, "hey, that's the dad from Rugrats!"

[mindysioux13]

the guy singing the first pert plus song sounds like he's on steroids. this is great. thank you for making these.

[atmosphotography]

Haha! Words I haven't heard in twenty five years: "Monday on ALF!"

[holbrooke7]

Can't you get a double cheeseburger at BK for a dollar now, though?

And LOL @ the Kellogg's Frosted Mini Wheats commercial. I bet the writers of "Family Guy" watch this YouTube channel for inspiration.

[mrstristen]

OMG i remembver that pert one!!

[setamluos1]

Now they are a dollar again!

[RoxyStJames]

HA! I turned 4 on Jan 29, 89. Im not from San Fran but I appreciate this. ALF STILL COMES ON!!!

[seattlesfinestwrx]

Minute Maid was a classic commercial.

[YourSkankyMom]

Mr. 80sCommerical guy, thanks for putting all of this up. Brings back memories.

[SaintPatrick33]

lol @ the Bengals...

[anokigryphon]

Whoa.....old time KSBW....man this brings back memories ^^ KSBW was my NBC affiliate as well!

[tacluvstoons]

take a whiff, and pull it out....

[kari00ws6]

Juicy Fruit would lose its flavor after like 5 chews.

[kari00ws6]

I totally remember that Disneyland commercial.

[SwedishBlonde79]

Pert Plus was way better back then. EVERYTHING was!!!

[skinnyblink7]

Everything? You must remember how horrible New Coke tasted!

[blugreen123]

i am absolutely certain that the Country Crock hand couple is still together. last i checked they had just had a hand baby. (how would that work?!)

[RHGarciaApr85]

5:00-5:02. The most delicious candy bar EVER.

[megamanmaniac]

OK. Two questions.

1. Is that Michael Pare in the Pert Plus commercial?

2. I know Jack Riley is the husband but who did the wife's voice in the Country Crock commercials?

[mrtelevision]

Jack Riley is also the voice of Stu Pickles on

Rugrats

[acebats]

i dont put pickles on my burger i wouldnt do that(dials to start a sue for false advertising)

[warriorsorochiman]

The Joe Montana Disneyland commercial was after his 49ers defeated the Bengals 20-16 on Super Bowl XXIV. Do you also have another Disneyland commercial with the same 49ers after they defeated John Elway's Broncos at Super Bowl XXV?

[macbooks123]

those country crock commercials and acuve packaging haven't changed at all

[IluvDonnieandJordan]

I was 7 years old, back in 1989. I don't remember the show Day By Day or Hogan Family. Thye must be shows, that start @ 9:00pm I was in bed.

[ButteWhat]

Yeah, my mom used to be Pert all the time, Dad used Lava for his soap.....LOL

[brucesv912]

you know its sad because alot of today's commercials just dont have those catchy jingles lol

[blackshogun77]

@brucesv912 bruce, jingle writers in the 1980'sw made money hand overfist in the 80's because there was so much work. Even people from outside the hollywood industry made money jinlge writing. The juicy fruit jingle made one write a millionare over night. Now, Hollywood is owned by corporations that dont hire many writers, they would rather lift music from music artists owned by the parent company and not pay a dime.

[m3trooper]

Ahhhh PERT PLUS! That stuff will take the grease right off a frying pan, and strip the paint off a car! lol

[akiraman26]

9.12 women running-ummmmmmy

[blackshogun77]

@akiraman26 akira, in the 80's there was alot of sexualy suggestive images in cmmercials because there werent alot of watchdog groups evaluating commercials. To get any movie,film, tv commercial made,, it has to go through five levels of watch dog groups to make sure sexual, racial, and harmfulm images have been removed.

[80sCommercialVault]

@blackshogun77 Watchdog groups are third parties that have no involvement in the production of TV shows or commercials. I've never heard of them being consulted or evaluating something prior to it being shown on TV. You might be thinking of focus groups, which are completely different, and are used merely to gauge audience response.

Ultimately it's the FCC and the networks themselves that determine what's shown on TV.

[TNTITAN]

@80sCommercialVault Actually the FCC has nothing to do with what is shown on TV. They have to first recieve a complaint about a show before they investagate any "wrongdoing by the networks". Also they don't have any censorship powers, only the ability to fine shows the violate FCC policy. I am wondering if what akiraman is talking about though is "network censors" which would be different from a watchdog group.

[80sCommercialVault]

@TNTITAN Being able to fine networks millions of dollars for offensive content gives the FCC HUGE pull over what is deemed offensive in the first place. They keep the networks in line. They may not be pre-screening content, but to say they have "nothing to do" with what's shown on network TV simply isn't true.

[TNTITAN]

@80sCommercialVault Maybe nothing to do is a bit much. But there a difference between them and other programming around the world which can be an outright censoring body. I should of been more careful with my words. The point was though that they are not an approval body like for instance the Comic Code Authority was.

[dibeling]

99 cents in the 80's is like 9 dollars these days.

[80sCommercialVault]

More like $1.64

[kiminokami]

It's kind of sad.

[80sChic74]

@dibeling Yep! 

[wolfpyros]

amazing, this brings me back

[JCASTILLO8155]

Take a sniff pull it out jucy furit. LOL

[TheLastBrainLeft]

All right, I don't remember Day By Day. Must've been one of the many failures Louis-Dreyfuss had between SNL and Seinfield.

[joshuad450]

Ahh... what great memories! So, where in the USA did this KSBW broadcast?

[80sCommercialVault]

The Monterey Bay Area of California...where I'm from.

[ESome1980]

Santa Cruz, California...

[dfuzz1114]

theses commercials were even better than t.v. is now!

[33skoalbandit]

oh god, those damn Country Crock commercials with the hands!

[slipknot789able]

which girl is judith hoag

[80sCommercialVault]

The redhead in blue.

[mrtelevision]

Judith Hoag is a babe!

[AnarchyIncProduction]

Hahaha! I sent this to Judith Hoag. I think she'd get a kick out of seeing that old Burger King commercial she was in.

[xContaminatedx]

Dude, the Crest and Juicy Fruit commercials were like totally radical.

[NW49ERFAITHFUL]

Awesome SuperBowl footage of Joe Cool! AndI even remember Day By Day, the guy she gives her # to in the promo is Brad Hall, her husband, They were on

SNL together!

[52DODGEM37]

I sure do love watching all of these there awsome.

[liamkhan07]

bounty.. lol it's plenty now. Juicy fruit = yum :P and wow 25c for gum? In the UK usually the prices of things in the US(USD currency) are about half of the price in GBP(Sterling) so it would've been like 12p for gum? Unless they kinda conned us and kept it higher?

[mikeysaur65]

I miss those shampoo/soap commercials that encouraged nothing more than maintaining good personal hygiene—especially after a game of basketball, soccer, etc.

They didn't insult your intelligence with young ladies coming outa the woodwork, throwing themselves at the guy or attacking him in the shower—none of that bullshyt that, to my dismay, doesn't happen in real life.

[campingmatt11]

dude epic upload

[humhunny]

OMG...I still remember that Juicy Fruit jingle word for word! That's pretty bad.

Also, remember the Kellogg's Frosted Mini Wheats commercial like it's still on TV... one of my favs!

[tanquantwal]

Hey this aired on my birthday. I turned 14 years old.

[TurqouiseTapioca]

oh god, EXTRA sugar FREE gum?? :S :S blech

[chewith]

the taste is gonna move ya!

[jwgreek8606]

That Bounty commercial was a parody of one of my favorite movies Casablanca.

[skylershelby]

These 1989 commercials,were kinda getting too serious...earlier 80s stuff were way cheesier!! :)

[Lagorditalinda17]

Symphony is still amazingly good.

[wxyzdetroit]

LOL, I was 5-6 years old in 1989.

You know what's sad? LOL, I remember these commericals more than the shows on TV!

And that Burger King commerical on 2:17, now a days our American fat asses would say that's TOO DAMN SMALL!

It's a fact that fast food portions are 40% bigger than compared to 2000s.

Where did you get these commericals?  From old recorded VHS tapes? LOL, thanks anyway!

[troodon311]

He got them from his time machine.

[80sCommercialVault]

Ixnay on the ime machine tay!

[fvgbe342]

I was 5-6 years old in 1989 too, But the burgers in 1989 are just as big as the 2009 burgers.

[Magnus27]

What I find significant is that it would seem that the 99 cent cheeseburger was a limited time offer which insinuates that normally they costed more.

How is it that 99 cent double cheeseburgers are back nowadays? When you consider how devalued the dollar is now compared to then, double cheeseburgers should cost us at least $3. The only explanation I can think of is that the ingredients used now are of dismal quality compared to back then.

[Bigvader]

The main reason that so many fast food chains are offering $.99 double cheese burgers on a regular basis is because of the dismal economy. Fewer and fewer people eating out was taking money out of their pockets so to stay competitive they now offer "value menus:" pay less money...keep getting fat. lol.

[RevolutionOfCG]

@Magnus27

You are absolutely correct. That and $1 double cheeseburgers these days have smaller patties, one slice of cheese instead of 2 and are generally regarded as a 'loss leader', it's an item they'll take a loss on just to get people into the place in hopes that they buy more expensive menu items which are more appetizing. Back when these commercials were made, competition wasn't as stiff, either because very few chains had penetration in most markets.

[Lafours]

I couldnt eat frosted mini wheats back then folks thought it had too much sugar lol

[Lafours]

A tip for aspiring actors....do a Burger King ad

[LouisvilleCardinal72]

Day by Day?? I must have been sleeping that year because I don't remember that show at all.

[tamandthepicos]

Pert Plus: That's one tough shampoo jingle!

[sangolt88]

lol @ the 80's

[xkaren79x]

I used to love watching Alf as they had the show over here in england and i still have Alf the toy lol!

[FHfan731]

That episode of ALF was the first show in the 1988 season. This must have been the rerun promo.

[SlapChop1000]

its funny how they showed the actuall hamburger in the BurgerKing Commercials back then,now days they make the food look giant lol

[cdleeman]

Dr. Larry Sweet sounds just like Owen Wilson

[kylep2]

Take a sniff...

What.

[thegreatsamurai82]

danny has a double cheeseburger box and fries at the start of TMNT the movie

[saiyanprince09]

Wiat was that Elaine from Seinfeld I saw?

[cinnaren]

Yes, on day by day. I loved that show!

[mikeysaur65]

4:08 The famous line from "When Harry Met Sally" used in Kellogg's cereal ad.

[80sCommercialVault]

These commercials aired around 7 months before that movie was released.

[seattlesfinestwrx]

Another fine job. Symphony chocolate bars are the greatest things ever made. The Pert Plus screams late-80s.

[holbrooke7]

Wow, there were a lot of Disneyland/Walt Disney World advertisements back in the 80s. There aren't quite as many now, especially since they've added two new parks to WDW and a new one to Disneyland.

[holbrooke7]

OMG, the Big Mac is of legal age!

[cheerleader1979]

wow. pert plus... i remember this...and this mini wheats commercial!

[BrettFavre107]

David Letterman has changed alot!!!

[jtobin13]

p like the bogie

[pukser]

wow have never seen a pampers commerical so serious! haha

[RetroGirl85]

take a sniff, pull it out lol @ juicyfruit commercial

[Libitina72]

I use to love the show Night Court. In 1989 I was a junior in HS

[BorderCityBandit]

thank you for posting these commericals.watching these commercials is like going home again.damn I didnt appreciate the 80's as much as I should have

[blackshogun77]

@BorderCityBandit border, I have a question. Why did they stop making exciting commercials like the 1980's commercials? I'm watching them and I think if commercials were like this now , hollywood would be selling products hand over fist. Now commercials are boring and sort of bland. So what do you think?

[twq1976]

OMG either i watched nbc everyday as a kid in 1988 or i just have a photographic memory,i remember 95 procent of all these commercials hahahaha omg ty,its great seeing these again,triggers bunch of memories i forgot lolol

[krogdog]

There were a heck of a lot more chewing gum commercials back then. Extra, Doublemint, Big Red, Juicy Fruit, etc.

[TheJMachine]

all those gums are still around today. Although most have changed recipes that include sugar substitutes.

[permiable]

i dont like crest. their name reminds me of 'crust'

[2199]

Didnt know Joe Montana did a commercial for Disney as well as Phil Simms, Doug Williams and a few others as well.

[HomeoftheGoodGuys]

There was also a commercial for Walt Disney World where it was used after the Super Bowl with Elite Manning saying "I'm Going to Disney World!". They currently used this commercial with the familiar jingle which is kinda aged. I remember the commercial for Walt Disney World where "American Idol" winner Brian Cook saying "I'm going to Disney World" with a better jingle sung by David Cook. They shwed that commercial frequently during the playoff games and the World Series.

[troodon311]

This is still my favorite of your volumes.

[leshager]

i remember all of these except the first shampoo commerical..i used to love the shreaded wheat commerical, the juicy fruit song, dont remmeber the super bowl commerical(but of course im not fromt he bay area, im in detroit) but man o man its amazing how u they ingrain in ur memory...havent seen them in 20yrs and im able to pick up on the music with a few words...good god I need help..LOL

[stevenc123]

You give your all, to all you do, DON'T SETTLE FOR LESS FROM YOUR SHAMPOO!!!

[collecterofcartoons]

Lol It's the dad from the adventure of pete and pete 2:09

[athleticsgirl23]

Wow, David Letterman's 7th Anniversary!! SOOO long ago. I use to have the maddest crush on the non Paul Riser dad on "My Two Dad's" I loved the Disney/Joe Montana commercial. It's freakin' classic

[mcsushi79]

Today Show with Tom Selleck, Peggy Lipton and Herbie Hancock...you couldnt get more 80's if you tried.

[WAEVOICE]

I haven't seen the Country Crock commercials the same way since that parody on Family Guy.

[animfan1]

Florence Stanley was a guest star on an episode of "Night Court."

[fl1992]

If she weren't married, I'd go out on a date with The Beautiful Actress Andrea Elson AKA Lynn Tanner from Alf anyday! Her Hair is so Gorgeous!

[CelesteK]

Ashley is probably 20 years old by now. :)

[Eric9233]

Who's Ashley? You mean Ashley Olsen?

She's 22 right now.

[CelesteK]

Oh yeah that's right. She and Mary Kate were born in 1986.

[CelesteK]

But I meant Ashley the pediatrician's baby in the Pampers diaper ad starting at 1:22 and ending at 2:06

[gfiman]

I remember a lot of these commercials when I was a kid

[101Frenchkisses7]

Wow more diaper ads :)

[80sCommercialVault]

Babies were crapping at near epidemic rates throughout the 80's. People couldn't buy diapers fast enough.

[willdav713]

ALF is back on WGN, finally! I have been trying to get those reruns back on tv since I was in Jr. High.

[DaBearsRockMySox]

i wouldn't have minded watching these commercials back then during breaks, commercials today just make me change the channel lol

[stevenc123]

I want adverts to make shampoo exciting again.

[CaramelAnt]

The hand couple divorced after the wife caught the husband in bed with a foot.

[101Frenchkisses7]

ROLF

[videocircus]
