Its amazing....I type in "80's coke commercial" expecting to see people commenting on how much the 80's and or Coke kicks ass....and yet again the comment section is filled with nothing but politics and bitching....Good God people, grow up and take that shit where it belongs. This is an awsome commercial about the best soda EVER and thats what the comments should be about.
I FUCKING HATE ANYBODY who thinks its OKAY for a girl to slap a guy, but not the other way around. HOW MUCH DO YOU HAVE TO EVEN THINK to notice the double-standard sexism there? FUCK you coke till your asshole bleeds.
Haha are you kidding me? I hate women because I don't think there should be this clear double standard when it comes to slapping? That's like saying I hate white people because I don't want them to have privileges over other races in society. I want equality, not male domination. Me hating women would be me wanting women to get slapped and not men. I don't want that, and I would object to that as much as I object to this.
@TheLiberalSoup It just comes across as a bit over-zealous - kind of like when people talk about racism as a way to offset their own (take for example Glen Beck saying Obama hates white people). Obviously violence is wrong but feminists and people who speak out against domestic violence have nothing to answer for - just seemed like unnecessary I guess and I assumed there was an ulterior motive. Anyway let's end it there... I can be a humourless bastard!
1985 - the year Coke did away with sugar. So technically, the Coke you're drinking today is NOT Coke Classic (unless you buy kosher Coke during Passover, or have access to Mexican Coke). The REAL Classic coke had a very powerful cane sugar aftertaste, but the drink tasted exactly the same when it hit your toungue.
Getting smacked like that by a girl used to be the sort of standard and proper response to a guy who had just said something improper to or had taken one too many liberties with the girl. Man, the girl in this ad REALLY doesn't like what he said . Ha ha.
It was nice how drinks came in glass bottles back then. I remember even in the early 90's glass bottles were common. Now it's all plastic, plastic sucks.
That's Aretha Franklin at 0:18 who enjoyed a commercial comeback at this time, and 1985 also gave us Whitney Houston (with her own Diet Coke commercials the next year!) There will never be another Eighties again!
@pannoni1 oh yes Franklin's major return to the entertainment world with her smash album "Who's Zoomin' Who" and Whitne Houston's debut and their major appearances on these commercials went well hand in hand! These ladies ruled...and still would to this day despite the problems both have had in the last quarter of the century.
lol I'm 14, but I would love to live in the 80's, I listen to 80's rock love soda, wear like a a and light blue jeans, my friends tell me that I would fit in the 80's better than now, lol
@CreativeTechFilms that's a damn compliment...I'm sure you would've had cooler friends in the 80's too...I'd bid them bon voyage and go back. I lived in the 89's...but was just a kid. I do remember though. Sad state we're all in now.
We had Flashdance...country AND soul!...the military...a sweaty beach babe (Miami Vice, anyone?)...
But I wonder what was cool and hip about a woman belting a guy! What were they trying to say? That you are an assertive and independant woman if you drink Coke?
Weird to think that striking a man in public was socially acceptable back then...kind of sexy, right?
@Arkady63 Hey women thought for themselves back then. Being whiny, clingy and hangy on a guy(like girls are doing today as they did 50 years ago is so not sexy)
@entertainme3000 what's really ironic about that is that women now try so hard to assert their feminist views while still trying to look sexy and then overly controlling men.
Me too! I think you and I both know that that commercial will NEVER get made or put on TV, but I'd still love to see it. It's high time that we start seeing some signs that there is REAL equality between the sexes in this day and age. Eliminate the social barriers and stigmas once and for all.
Cool commercial....but it's kind of a double standard that it's perfectly acceptable for that girl to smack the guy. If it showed the guy hitting the girl, that would be an outrage!!! Why is it ok to have a guy get hit in the Coke commercial?!!!
Coke was trying to get females to buy their soda. The original ad was to have the girl knee the guy in the groin but the FCC, which is mostly male, objected to that.
Is there another 1980's coke ad just like this but with a slightly different song variation? I seem to remember it being slightly different from this...
"Coke is it!" This was the slogan when I was really young and my parents said it was one of my first full sentences. Which is actually kind of creepy.
ha, it makes sense being mid-decade, this is why I don't care too much for the music of my decade 'cause it seems too cliched, wish I could have grown up a decade earlier to see live Southern Rock acts!
AMEN!!! That's what I've always said. It actually started going downhill around the beginning of '87 when rap started to really pick up... *sigh* I really wish rap never progressed beyond the Tom Tom Club and the Fat Boys...
That is why I gave up and returned to the '80s after the '90s sucked. I now wear Chuck Taylors, a Casio watch, Wayfair sunglasses, and use '80s Television sets, my Walkman, cassettes, and still play Atari 2600 and Nintendo Famicom. I even occasionally go out and ride my '80s skateboard.
@Stuurm my life and the world around me hasn't quite been the same since 1992. Something just went wrong and we've never bounced back. The good ol' days will never return. I guess memories and photographs is all we've got.
@entertainme3000 Yeah something really went wrong about the time (92-93) from which we have never recovered. It's been all downhill since. I have heard the same from my other friends as well. I must confess I hate just about everything about now. lol
@silentwolf928 really? ppl shooting up everything has been around forever since guns were invented....and the drug epidemic took off in those great 80s too
