90's Commercials Vol. 46

[CommanderMantis]

All of the excuses in the Growing Pains commercial sound like filthy euphemisms.

[icebud]

I have a couple of questions: 1. Do you have any commercials from a later date in the 90's? 2. Do you remember commercials that would advertise compilation cd's from the 90's and 80's??

[80sCommercialVault]

@icebud If you're talking about later than 1991, most of my 90's volumes are from the mid 90's. If you mean the late 90's, I don't post anything recorded after 1996 because I feel that's when TV and pop culture in general became really lame.

I've posted tons of ads for record compilations.

[Inediblehulk]

@MeInTV Four seasons!? I must have not been as "tuned in" as I thought I was as a kid. Doesn't ring a bell at all. Maybe I'll check out an episode online somewhere. Who knows? Might be good.

[MeInTX]

I think this was about the time that Jack Klugman had throat surgery, which would explain why he let Tony Randall have all the dialogue.

I guess it didn't occur to the guy on top of the ladder to let the machine get the call.

I wonder if that "Vintage Farms Deli Loaf" was supposed to look that unappealing.

Given his characters in Harold & Kumar and HIMYM, it's amusingly ironic that NPH was fretting over being a virgin on Doogie Howser.

Back to back Urkel? That sounds like my personal hell.

[McSkankula]

0:02 I know I'm old when my first thought is "Hey, he has the new style orange Zapper."

[Tornado1994]

Fun Factoid: Eagles was featured in Home Alone 2! The irony?They're HQd in Chicago,IL.

[027220]

8:48 - 9:47 I can't stand Urkel but the ad and commercial bumper are good.

[pipedonetimes]

@027220 Double Urkel? that's no good

[027220]

@pipedonetimes Thanks.

[MOTROIT]

They said a Ford Escort has style? lmmfao XD

[biffvonwrinkle]

dude tv was so fuckin epic back then, sooooo many shows, even the commercials stick with you

[Inediblehulk]

We had a video camera like the one in the Sears commercial. It cost over a grand, weighed about 25 lbs, and captured pictures about as vividly as a cheap modern cell phone. But it still works today. And I think it's grown. On a possibly related note, I've never heard of any of those Wednesday sitcoms. They must have been awesome! Just a bad timeslot is all...

[MeInTX]

@Inediblehulk Both Sibs and Good & Evil were gone by Halloween, though Sibs had some remaining episodes burned off the following spring. Anything but Love, which was somehow in it's fourth season, lasted until May when it was also cancelled and forgotten.

[prettyyoungthing90]

@0:02 OMG! I had that game & gun:D

[stalkerdude21]

HOLY ****! We've got that refrigerator, and i remember that washer/dryer set too!

[DanZero77]

Awesome to see "The Odd Couple Hunt" again, this was on another video from another YouTube user circa 2009 who is now long gone. "YOU GEEK!"

The Energizer Bunny is still around, but not that style of ads you see in the ads from 1991.

Never before has one sitcom character left the show they were on to appear on the next one a half hour later. Amazing!

[gleeb0278]

#4 is burned in my brain for some reason. Must have been played to death!

[yourtony99]

Gitano ! = 100% of my sisters' wardrobe in 1991

[Recovermin]

Hey, 80'sCommercialVault... hope you don't mind but I'm ripping the video from all of your 90's commercial vids and saving them to a portable HDD. When I'm done downloading them all I'm going to put the hard drive amongst the emergency supplies in my bunker (yes, I have one) to have on hand in the event of a zombie apocalypse. That way, when I've found a colony of survivors, the childeren born post Z-day will have quality ads for long gone products & services to watch. Thought you should know.

[80sCommercialVault]

@Recovermin Don't mind at all. I think your top priority should be to preserve the 80's volumes, though.

Once the zombies die out, you must rebuild society on the principles of the 80's and 90's. It is the only way.

[yellowlantern]

That's got to be Patrick Stewart voicing the Pontiac ad.  Nice!

[deltaenforcer93]

anyone ever heard of eagle chips?........me either!

[80sCommercialVault]

@deltaenforcer93 I think they only made chips for a very short period. They're best known for making airline peanuts.

[gonzaeri000]

@deltaenforcer93 i did once when i was 3 but they tased nasty so i got back to eating my slimjim ^_^

[BlackAndLiberated]

Never thought i would be sitting on my computer wanting to watch commercials lol. This just brings back too many memories to pass up.

[surfychik32]

love how 'ive fallen and i can't get up' made it into another commercial :)

[sonicstefan1991]

That's the baby commercial that was shown in Hocus Pocus where Mary Sanderson was flicking through the channels on the TV!!!

[blugreen123]

DUCK HUNT!!!

I remember those advil ads

what would "country scent" smell like? cow manure?!

resolve really does work great

omg!! I TOTALLY remember that wk. of Family Matters and Step by Step

[abletonreason]

That rice ad is overly dramatic.

[kari00ws6]

-I used to LOVE "Duck Hunt". Now I have it on my iPhone.

-I was in 4th grade when these came out and I remember seeing SO many Pontiac Bonnevilles at my school picking up other kids.

-Why did so many people in the comments like that Dupont commercial so much?

[xxGalacticGeminixx]

Wow a commercial supporting literacy and actual reading, can't recall the last time I've seen one of those,lol.

[drsnowmon]

I remember owning a PC back in 91, I had whopping 33 mhz processor and 2 mb ram with Windows 3.1 which kicked everyone's computer in the block performance wise.

[mattador2792]

The dupont commercial was awesome

[TR47]

2:13 is priceless, such high-tech wonders.

[Digifan23]

i was ROFL when Jack zaped Tony into Duck Hunt

Tony: "Don't let this happen you" LOL

[xnataliexlarax]

Haha love it! Big Kristine Sutherland fan love seeing anything of hers I haven't seen before :)

[Muggle423]

That Dupont Stainmaster commercial appears in Hocus Pocus so that's what I think of when I see it on here with the witch freaking out at the baby running thru the room. Haha.

[jc1979af]

Damn, look how big that camcorder, stereo and cell phone are in the Sears commerical. Hard to believe that these were state-of-the-art back in 1991.

[UnisonChords]

@jc1979af Yeah, if we had those cell phones now, we'd need a whole other pair of pants to carry them in our pockets.

[magnacore11]

Eagle brand?! wth...well we all know who the true victor was at the end of THAT snack-treat battle. I'm eating a bag of the REAL champion right now!

[riverofdreams1993]

check out the size of that stereo in the Sears commercial! the only one i remember from these is the Stainmaster one. :D

[80sCommercialVault]

@riverofdreams1993 We had a stereo of that size back then.  The size is due to all of the components like the turntable, cassette deck, receiver, EQ panel, etc. The only thing that really seemed enormous at the time were the speakers.

[riverofdreams1993]

@80sCommercialVault i remember all those things that went with them. i bet those speakers in that commercial could really crank out the sound...:D

[MrPeachlover]

The year when I was born which the best year ever lol

[RETROGEMS]

1991! It was a good year. I was four years old and didn't have a care in the world except to make sure I didn't miss my favorite shows. Those were the good ol' days. ;-)

[whattheheck1000]

@RETROGEMS I wasn't around in 1991! I had no worries lol. I was first alive - in my mom's "belly" - in April 1992.

[gameshowluvr86]

@RETROGEMS Preach, bro!!!! :-D

[MENDOZZA1011]

did you see how huge the cell phones were in the sears commercial

[sweeperjanitor]

Tv not the same without commercials. I'm just a sucker for material things.

[FSinWCR]

The Odd Couple and Duck Hunt. I'm awestruck this commercial exists.

[BoogsterSU2]

Sears: lolz Outdated appliances.

Family Matters: Now on Nickelodeon!

Citano Family Literacy: Pfffft. Books. How old school. eBooks FTW. :)

[Itzpower]

I never heard of Eagle Snacks but I do know Doritos, NES Zapper and Duck Hunt!

[Muggle423]

Omg, I love the Nintendo. Good old Nintendo when video games were so simple. And all those TV shows. Doogie Howser, Growing Pains. It really is sad how they don't make good quality family shows anymore. TV REALLY HAS TURNED TO GARBAGE NOW! And was it really necessary to stop making TV show theme songs just to make room for more stupid commercials or do people of the entertainment industry just lack the creative brain cells to come up with anything clever anymore? Seriously.

[tanquantwal]

You started great (The Odd Couple) and ended great (Neil Patrick Harris promoting reading). Awesomet volume. I loved it! Thanks.

[Idoljunky32]

Ahh, Growing Pains, Who's the Boss, Doogie Howser MD, The Wonder Years etc! All great shows of my teen years! Too bad programming today sucks. I'd rather watch these TV classics than the garbage that's on today. That Stainmaster commercial is classic, I remember I would always tell that baby "Run little guy! Run!" LOL! Great upload!!!

[TheLadyYuki]

Ah, I was wondering when your next 90's commercial reel would be!

You know what the best thing about that first commercial is? I've never seen a single bag of Eagle Snacks Tortilla chips, and yet Doritos are everywhere.

[Kiraisjustice11]

i was a 0 year old baby in 1991 :D

[AnnainCA]

That Stainmaster commercial is very memorable! Hmmm, but what was with that Gitano PSA? The only Gitano I'm familiar with is the clothing line that was popular in the 80s. Why would they be sponsoring a literacy campaign?
