80's Commercials Vol. 4

[deadmansgulf]

hahahaha WE GOT THE JUICE! If only Jose Canseco did that slice commercail now that would have been some unintentional humor.

[Keith5Cats2]

I was 6 that day, my birthday! October 26

[yumyumbrains42]

6:33 I think that's Mrs. Doubtfire.

[Cheeseandblood]

2:26 and 2:30 - pomf pomf

[joepickard]

good god i've never had a can of it but Slice looks delicious. soft drink ads these days always have to be douchey and urban.

[MrJonnyPepper]

I’m glad my mom didn’t pay attention to that one commercial.

[mseerob]

I didn't know ATM existed back in the day

[StayPuft90]

was that the kid in adventures in babysitting....coke commercial

[KneelbeforeZod25]

At 1:29 he say cause Im a children? Wasnt he suppose to say Im a child?

[80sCommercialVault]

@KneelbeforeZod25 It's a humor joke.

[bms1117]

Is it just me or does that look like Celine Dion in that Bundt cake spot? Please someone tell me I'm wrong that woman gives me nightmares LMAO

[80sCommercialVault]

@bms1117 You're wrong...looks nothing like her.

[FarleyTube]

For years I remembered the music in that Michelob commercial until I discovered around 2004 that it was an actual song by Wang Chung when I rented the movie "To Live and Die in L.A." Someone else (maybe it was you) had this commercial up a few years ago; thanks for putting it back up.

[serialhag76]

I remember Easy Prey. It starred Shawnee Smith w/ a REAL bad perm!

[WoWDemondays]

Gorillaz!!!!

[listereo]

@7:31 Why did I find that so hilarious?

[xxxbankrollzxxx]

haha.... Ozzie Smith, Wally Joyner, Mike Scott and Lenny Dykstra.. thumbs up if you knew all of 'em

[BigDaddyCooI]

@xxxbankrollzxxx Thanks man! The 80's were the best time to be a kid.

[WhoviansUSA]

Sounded like a seal barking during that Easy Prey commercial...very odd.

[JRPHILLIPS75]

oh the start of hot pockets!  ick....

[JRPHILLIPS75]

Sam needs a haircut!

[HermitArcana]

At 6:10 it sounds like he's saying "Russia". Lawl.

[mysterymachinist]

that pillsbury cake commercial, thats phoebe snow ("Poetry Man") singing. bizarre.

[laichi16]

(gasp!!) I remember "Slice!" What ever happened to it??

[80sCommercialVault]

@laichi16 Slice = Sierra Mist

[devildancer1495]

Wang Chung FTW!!

[pattyk77]

looks like tootsie at 6:50

[bennyf23]

at 1:30 because im a children haha

[cfamick]

That Michelob Light commercial makes the 80s look awesome. It also looks like it was directed by Michael Bay.

[pattyk77]

@cfamick yeah, maybe it was, he directed a lot of commercials back then.

[bryal]

1:28 BECAUSE I'MA CHILDREN! :3

[therichelieufactor]

that damn michelob song got stuck in my head.....in the dark of the night.

[003001135]

i want to break into superfast jellyfish after i hear that intro.

[itsacracker10]

Swanson - Great Starts Breakfasts (1986) is sampled in Gorillaz - Superfast Jellyfish (2010)

Is it just me or does some of the quotes in the Shampoo and Panadol are in David After Dentist?

[liteskinnededgal]

Whatever happened to Children's Panadol?

[StudebakerBronson]

Thank you so much for putting these up!!!

[jescis0]

I miss the Pillsbury dough boy stomach poke reaction... I still remember it and can imitate it ;-)

[RantNRavinFection]

whew these commercials aired months before i was even born......yet somehow they feel familiar, like a long lost memory

[justanotheraccounton]

that michelob commercial is ridiculously good .. ! Hooray for big hair and sport-coats :P

[gleeb0278]

Wow, imagine being able to use your ATM card to make purchases at the grocery store! By the way, ATM cards have not made lines all that speedy, in my opinion, but nice try, Lucky's!

[75rmc75]

1:27 because i'm a children.....

i think that kid missed more than one day of school...lmao

[emceelokey]

Holy crap! Hot Pockets were around in the 80's!? I though those came out in like '91 or something.

[rjspear]

Good old Max Headroom.

[MattTheSaiyan]

The woman in the Lysol Cleaner commercial is kinda hot (in my opinion) and I don't know why.

[giddim]

@MattTheSaiyan Wow! I was thinking the exact same thing. lol She just needs to lose the grandma haircut.

[champcar31]

i hope im cool enough to drink michelob some day

[MiraiMaki]

Omg, you know how on Family Guy Peter says commercials lead you into a false sense of security? Yeah, 2:12 to 2:40. At first I was like :D but then I was like D:

[Rollinabigbone420]

Max Headroom!! OMG!!

[BlankParty]

Awesome Michelob commercial.I think it would still be effective today.

[ninjawraith17]

6:49

Good Night it's Mrs. Doubtfire

[Rollinabigbone420]

@ninjawraith17 LMAO!! I know right!! My dad and I said the same thing!!

[Hethrin]

I love how the guy says the kid is 'growing up' and yet he still uses baby shampoo

[joezetank]

@Hethrin i got johnson & johnson shampoo in my eye the other day and it burned like hell, i was actually jumping around in the nude it hurt so bad. so yeah, this kid has balls.

[backpackr]

Right when I heard Superfast Jellyfish I recalled a commercial from the 80's, thanks for helping fihure it out..lol

[Dieguux8]

Superfast Jellyfish :D

[delaney917]

PTA psa about watching too much tv-- omg that lady looked like Mrs. Doubtfire! Ha!

[badgersrule01]

Marc McClure from Back to the Future and Superman is in the Pepsi commercial. Julius Carry from Brisco County Jr. and The Last Dragon is also in it.

[80s4U]

3 minutes? fuck that was slow.

[rickyfan3956]

@7:32 THAT WAS SCARY!!!

[CircaSkating]

Living in the 80's and 90's would be fun but I would miss the technology today. To bad the commercials on T.V are so obnoxious.

[iloveJBandATL513]

the Lysol commercials never really have changed.

[c8udyp]

Aspirin-free, alcohol-free, sugar-free but packed full of the pain-destroying morphine your child will love.

[jeabreg]

Slice soda!!!

[RezViper]

lmao! that black lady at 3:45 had me rolling

[Irvin700]

"why? oh..."



[whoseanb]

6:50 Ms. Doubtfire?

[rshandy]

What kind of cheese came on those breakfast biscuits, it looks aweful...

I'm a childrens'!!!

[dannyp1975]

I for one think its awesome you posted all these old commercials. it takes me back to a much simpler time as a little kid. as far as i am concerned all the people on here who waste your time by insulting you should just watch something else if they dont like this! damn whiners! thanks again

[Tubes12AX7k]

I always loved the last commercial, the Michelob commercial with the "Live and Die in L.A." song in it from Wang Chung. "The Night Belongs to Michelob."

[sexykitten0627]

The slice commercial looks so refreshing!!!

[paul1ryan]

I don't clean amymore. That would make me a 1970's sterotypre. No i clean and disinfect. Long live the independant women of the 80's

[Ehiguy102]

SUPERFAST SUPERFAST! JUST IN TIME FOR BREAKFAST!

[willj843]

Hot Pockets have been around THAT LONG??? Holy shit...

[tomcat2285]

@willj843 by that time it had been selling for 3 years but invented on the late 1970s

[pokeguy102]

because i'm a children!

[thegiffer]

Does anyone else think that that's Matthew McConaughey in the Michelob commercial, at 8:58?

[borgsta19]

@thegiffer Sorry. Not even close.

[sexykitten0627]

@thegiffer On the side he looks like Matthew McConaughey, but up front at 9:00 he doesn't. I really don't think it is him but I can try to find out for you:)

[DarkViIIain]

Are you kidding?

[lilypops81]

6:35 I sat in front of the TV hour after hour after hour and I turned out fine.....I think.

[halcaannen]

@lilypops81 I know what you mean TV is still my life and I'm going to College.

[eternalXxXmemorys]

LOL, when its says 'are you kidding' i half expected superfast jellyfish by gorillaz to start playing :)

[demonwx10]

6:40 Mrs. Doubtfire!

[robinsonjay]

lmao @ the Teen Pregnancy PSA!!!! Aw man.... I was jsut playing an arcade game and now I'm pregnant.... Aw shucks....

[razorangelfreak]

The narrator for the first Lysol commercial also did Smucker's commercials. And young Sean Astin. So cool.

[MisterBankz]

Are YOU Kidding?! lmao

[ubtng]

"Why?"

"You're growing up. So's your hair."

LOL!

[esencia666]

Thank You for sharing all of these 80's commercials. These commercials make you laugh, they make you cry and they remind of what it was like to be a child of the 80's. Thanks :)

[mford1996]

I heard Slice was going to replace Crush this year...sounds interesting to me.

[richardrawson]

In case nobody else did, I thought I'd point out that the son in the Hot Pockets commercial appears to be Noah Hathaway, better known as Atreyu from the Neverending Story.

[SouthOCmixdown]

Max Headroom is God.

[StormsongK]

@SouthOCmixdown Then you'll be happy to know his TV series (the sci-fi one from 1987) is finally being released in August on DVD!

[SouthOCmixdown]

@StormsongK Awesome. Hopefully its presented in its original, innovative form, and not some souped-up CGI, George Lucas-esque modified version. Thanks for the heads up. Ill look for it!

[StormsongK]

@SouthOCmixdown It's available for pre-order on Amazon.

[JJaz519]

damn that slice looks so good

[ecpjll]

It was 5 days from my 5th birthday when this aired. Oh how I miss those days. :( the innocence

[theconfusion105]

Gorillaz sampled the first commerical for their song "superfast jellyfish". yay!

[sethbramwell]

XDDDD That teen pregnancy PSA is so 80s. (Speaking as a child of the 80's)

[XXkurria15XX]

"cause i'm a children" haha XD hes so cute!

[Zeokoz]

@XXkurria15XX

haha, i laughed so hard at that.. XDD

[seattlesfinestwrx]

While most of the 80s commercials are great, there are very laughable ones, such as the Teen Pregnancy PSA.

[residentevil9888]

HOT POCKET MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[NinjaPutz]

aw, the little boy from the shampoo commercial was so cute ^^

[seankagalis]

it makes my floor wet - so it must disinfect as well!

[mariechaton]

6:34....that PTA lady is a younger Mrs.Doubtfire

[AnimeGuy9]

*sees first commercial*

...Wow, it really does exist. I thought it was just some made-up ad to get the message of the song across, but...it's real. Gorillaz win this day.

[kari00ws6]

Wow I thought that EZ check out thing wasn't out till 2000.

[rockypallo]

I remember these commercials; I was still in diapers, well lets just say that I was Still in Elementary School during these commercials

[genraz]

"BECAUSE I'M A CHILDREN"

[SwedishBlonde79]

Thanks 80'sVault for these great memories!!!

[Tetsacry]

Wow, the first one was used in Superfast Jellyfish! :D

[starrfisher]

That dude on t.v. that sounds like Jim Carry was the coolest.

[blugreen123]

slice, squirt, sprite. it sounds like a painful injury, yet they are all delightful citrusy sodas!

[blugreen123]

the E-Z checkouts at Lucky's must've been the early versions of U-scans.

[Dalekator]

superfast jellyfish - one of the best on the new one, the others being melancholy hill, glitter freeze, stylo & plastic beach.

Immense. Thank You soo much!!!!!

[detzel2]

lmao superfast jellyfish FTW!!

if it werent for that song i never wouldve saw this. thank u, wikipedia :D

[TheJooveenylApproach]

SUPERFAST JELLYFISH! i love it!

[WTFRawrtube]

0:14... Sausages? Am I the only one who see's a lot of grilled burgers?

[80sCommercialVault]

Um, they come in patties too...

[jsebright11]

American definition of sausage...yes, I'm probably thinking what you're thinking, too...

[80sCommercialVault]

Breakfast sausage in America is ground meat (pork & beef) with a lot of seasoning, and comes in small rolls or patties. It's very different from your typical Brautworst or the kind of sausage eaten for breakfast in the UK...and also much tastier.

[blockheadize]

superfast jellyfish haha

[EricakaJaceII]

Dear 80sCommercialVault, I first saw this compilation over a year ago. I'm an avid viewer of your compilations and due to recent events, I've got two words:

1) Congratulations on the new leash of life Gorillaz have given a certain commercial that's at the very beginning, causing the viewers of your videos to go bonkers

and

2) I'm glad to have known the thing even before it came out, making the song even more surprising and enjoyable to me!

The horde are here. Just go with the flow!

- EakaJ2

[80sCommercialVault]

The views don't seem to have ballooned as much as I thought they would, but maybe this is just the beginning.

I am slightly disappointed they didn't give me an album credit, as I'm 99% positive that this video is not only how they were exposed to the Swanson commercial, but where they got the audio from as well.

[squid0862]

True, I certainly would agree.

Anyways, it is on there, and I think it's funny how it happened.

[mcrkid22]

They gave credit to Swanson, so even if this is where they saw the video (and I'm sure it's not, since Damon Albarn is most likely older or as old as you) they got the sounds from Swanson's commercial bank, not your video.

[80sCommercialVault]

Look, just because some British guy is older than me doesn't mean this isn't where he was exposed to the commercial. How would a group composed of Brits even be exposed to an 80's American TV commercial in the first place? AFIAK, I'm the first (and only) person who's even posted this specific ad on the internet.

I've actually compared the audio waveforms between this video and the sample used in the song. Aside from some added reverb and noise reduction, they're the exact same.

[TheJooveenylApproach]

@80sCommercialVault I don't think you need credit because you didn't direct the commercial, nor did you star in it. Swanson should get credit because they created the disgusting breakfast thing, and they directed the commercial. Yes, you put up the video (and good for you too, because I like it), but I don't think Damon Albarn and co. should put you in their pamphlet. Personally speaking

[80sCommercialVault]

I'm not saying that they should be forced to credit me...it's just something that a nice person would do. Especially since I'm certain they grabbed the audio sample from this video specifically.

[troodon311]

Assuming the audio is taken from this video (which seems a very safe assumption to me) then 80sCommercialVault is the one who 1) located the audio they used and 2) put the audio into a digital format that they could use.

Since he was in no way compensated for doing so, yeah, I think that deserves a "Thank you."

[cheaptalk100]

i love the michelob commercial,thanks for videos

[TheSynthExperience]

I was expecting 5:43 to be a drug PSA.

[puremystery]

"Are you Kidding!?"

[sweetnoodle1]

best song at the new album ♥

[rd184]

Superfast Jellyfish!! xD

[SAILORKONA]

WAAAA SUPERFAST JELLYFISH!!!

[TerryCraig23]

I love Gorillaz' new album!! And Superfast Jellyfish is rad :D

[MFroggy718]

The Gorillaz would do this. Because they're cool enough to use 80's commercials in songs. <3

[Freebleeper]

Jim Carrey such a Max Headroom wannabe!

[bobdash101]

[EvilFanGirl6666]

[NONNYBABE8]

Gorillaz =D

Superfast Jellyfish - "Don't waste time!"

[kasumi421]

This video is going to get a lot more reviews. lol.

[80sCommercialVault]

Yeah, in some ways I'm kind of sad that this will most likely overtake all of my other videos shortly, but whatever. More viewers/fans is always good. Thanks Gorillaz!

[kasumi421]

@80sCommercialVault

Aw. Yay Gorillaz!!

[Spec671]

Gorillaz brought me here, but i love ads like these, so I'm going to watch all your videos. Keep your head up!

[DoctaDualist]

gorillaz es genial!!

[gorillazrgods]

SUPERFAST JELLYFISH FTW

[80sCommercialVault]

What?

[VGEric]

@80sCommercialVault

Gorillaz' new song "Superfast Jellyfish" uses part of the Swanson Great Starts commercial in it.

[80sCommercialVault]

WOW, they must have taken it from my video. That's awesome!

[7FridayGirl109]

HECK TO THE YES :D

[DoggoneNexus]

Amazing how some of these commercials still retain a scrap of selling power. I suddenly crave a Michelob...

[rockergirl83]

Looks like a less red haired Amy Yasbeck in that Pillsbury commercial. Could be wrong though.

[Buddafly78]

because i'm a children!!??? stop the madness! lol

[dukes0916]

I always wondered why the Wang Chung song was so popular in promotionals at the time, when it essentially compares L.A. to Sodom & Gomora? But then... Bruce's Born in the USA became our second national anthem, and With or Without You was the theme to half the proms & semi-formals in the country in the late 80's. (I guess that a cool beat and a catchy chorous is more important than actually having fitting lyrics!)

[80sCommercialVault]

"essentially compares L.A. to Sodom & Gomora"

I'm not getting that from that song at all. Also, its context in the commercial is essentially just as background music. If it has a statement to make about anything, it isn't really given a chance to in that commercial.

[dukes0916]

@80sCommercialVault Forgive the misunderstanding. I wasn't ranking on the commercial. I just remeber that they used the tune alot in various advertising at the time. (And often with only marginal connection to the song!) And I found that amusing over the years. As far as the 'City-of-Sin' reference, I went and listened to the song again. Seems I was a bit off. More like the song is saying thier lives are pointless & decedent rather than evil! But bottom line! I the like ads & the music

[texacobigred42]

#8 ... a little technology... and a whole lotta cash lol...

[dholmlund]

I've got a commercial for Kit Kat and Laser Tag...Should I post them or something??? X]

[AvEryBadApPLe]

that description for the last commercial was right on the money.

[esencia666]

Lemon Lime Slice was gross! It always tasted like it was made with dirty water. Orange Slice, was great though. It was the best Orange Soda (IMHO) But Lemon Lime Slice was nasty! Worse than Sh*t Mist.

[Iduntcare00]

new coke really sucked im a coke drinker but i quit drinking it when they went to new coke thank god they had enough sence to change it back
