80's Commercials Vol. 68

These commercials aired on August 4th, 1984 during the 1984 Olympics on local ABC affiliate KGO. Thanks to my Aunt & Uncle for recording these.

1. Sears
2. Converse
3. Double Mint Gum (What are the odds of two sets of attractive twins running into each other?)
4. Michelob Light
5. Century 21 (I love the gold coat)
6. Promo for "Jessie"
7. Stanley Tools
8. Unisom (Where's the minute long list of all the horrifying side effects?)
9. Miller High Life
10. Kodak Trimprint (There doesn't seem to be a digital-age equivalent to the instant camera)
11. Aetna (It's kind of hard to see, but the old guy on the boat has a pretty incredible mustache)
12. American Express
13. Motivator 650 Battery at Kmart
14. Drunk Driving PSA
15. AT&T (With Cliff Robertson. I love how he walks around other people like a ghost)

19. Coca Cola (With Dr. J and Bill Cosby!)
20. Pizza Hut

@BallieBallBunny This is among the cleanest of my aunt and uncles beta tapes (not VHS) in regards to the tracking.

I love your compliations, but I think the best thing about them is the old PSAs. The alcohol glasses crashing into each other was a classic I must've seen a thousand times a kid.

Think you'll ever go through the vault and make a video of only PSAs?

[80sCommercialVault]

Yeah, I've thought about doing "best of'" volumes before. Maybe once I run out of new material to post...

[celerytime]

dont you dare speak about running out of material ..

[80sCommercialVault]

Don't worry. I'll be posting two volumes a week for at least the next six months... And there's a lot of stuff I haven't even gone through yet.

[philvanyam]

You rock!! Can't thank you enough for your efforts.

God whats up with the hair in the 80's.....

@MattTheSayan On the camera part I COULD NOT agree more. We wouldn't have to pay extra money to get the photos out of the camera! People are asses. They just want us to pay more so they dismissed instant cameras :(

That Pizza Hut building is beautiful. I don't want more pulp in my orange juice (if I drinked orange juice, that is. I like it but it gives me a rash. Is "drinked" a real word?). They seriously need to make a practical, well-made, high-quality digital camera with the option of printed out good-sized copies of photos without using some "portable" (my ass) printer dock that has to be carried separately and takes a minute to turn-on. Your tapes should be in the Library of Congress or something.

minute maid orange juice, nobody squeezes juice the way we do

I came here to look through these old commercials to reassure myself that I didn't remember any commercials with these girls like they have now. Every commercial now has some dumb girl who talks like she's got a cork in her ass and hasn't farted in 20 years.
