80's Commercials Vol. 101

These commercials aired on KICU in July and August of 1984. Thanks to Paul for recording these and sending them my way.

1. Skittles (Nice commercial, but I prefer M&M's)
2. KICU Junior 36er's (Oh God, couldn't they have just done another take?)
3. "Masters Of The Universe" Commercial Bumper (You will want to savagely murder Orko by the end of this volume. I guarantee it)
4. Skeletor Laughing
5. Hot Wheels Cobra Stunt Set (Awesome. And Ernie Anderson's voice only makes things more awesome)
6. Splashdown Waterslide Park (I haven't been to a water park in years)
7. Tully, Odden & La Due Family Dental Practice (I hate it when the dentist doesn't treat me with the respect I deserve)
8. "Masters Of The Universe" Commercial Bumpers
9. Santa Clara County Fair (I see that Eddie Money has been doing the County Fair circuit for pretty much his entire career)
10. Barbie Dream Pool
11. Aim Toothpaste (Looks like Will Vinton claymation)
12. KICU Junior 36er's (Again, could they have not done another take? I love that little icy glare she gives to the side at the end. LOL)
13. "Masters Of The Universe" Commercial Bumpers
14. Sugar Free Orange Crush (This is likely the most epic commercial that I've posted, and that says a lot)
15. MMM Carpets (Mmm...Carpets)
16. Promo for "The Love Boat" (Have never watched a single episode of this in my life)
17. "Masters Of The Universe" Commercial Bumpers
18. Fruit Chewy Newtons
19. Rainbow Brite (With Heather O'Rourke from "Poltergeist"! Lurky LOL. My sister was seriously *crazed* for Rainbow Brite)
20. Promo for "Bewitched" (Nightmare fuel)
21. KICU Station ID
22. Intro to "Hot"

OK, I know it's probably just me, but doesn;t Creepy Dad look like Terry O'Quinn from LOST???

Locke DID work at a Toy Store at one point.

If rainbow bright makes people happy they should bring it to congress.

The 80s were amazing. Amazingly insane. I remember it well. Thanks for posting.

[MattTheSaiyan]

That "Cobra" thing looks awesome. My life is now slightly more complete after seeing that "Sugar Free Orange Crush" commercial.

[Lawless66007]

Savagely murder Orko??? He's the whole reason I sat through the whole video LOL. I loved the Orko bumpers as a kid.

[dorourke105]

Bowing to you sir for finding the Orko bumpers from He Man

[megamanmaniac]

@MisterrrM Best commercial so far!

[MeInTX]

Orko was my favorite character back then. Of course, I was 7...

Just how many seniors that needed dental care were watching He-Man?

While there is no cheeseburger toothpaste, there is bubblegum toothpaste. That should be close enough.

The Diet Crush ad may be the most dancerrific ad since the soup ad with Ann Miller from the 60s.

I was kind of impressed that almost all of the artists highlighted during the Hot intro had significant careers. Also, was up with the host's voice?

[VelvetCyberpunk]

How could you not watch The Love Boat??? It was silly as hell but fun.

[szqsk8]

I need some new carpet!

[Gaydar09]

don't they have like an 80's chanel on satlelite?

[DanZero77]

I also wanted to say, GOOD CATCH on that intro to "Hot". That was a very short-lived music video show, and it also aired in New York on WNEW Channel 5 at 4:30PM, after Masters of The Universe (with that annoying twit ORKO) Was VERY nice to see that again.

[DanZero77]

There are many jobs "avail" for you now. Call.... (*pause*) Summer Jobs For Youth!

That 2nd Junior 36ers ad was even WORSE.

Was Channel 36 running on a shoestring budget? Honestly though, I am glad to see that KICU is still an independent station even now.

Ernie Anderson can even make a board meeting exciting.

That Crush ad sure had a lot of production value.

What the heck is MMM Carpets? Can you eat them?

Can we tie Orko up to that Hot Wheels Stunt Set, pleeeeease????
