80's Commercials Vol. 8

These commercials aired on local CBS affiliate KMST 46 on July 4th, 1986.

1. Sea Breeze Skin Cleanser (Okay, I know Elle McPherson is hot, but I didn't know she could summon the power of the winds!)
2. Kraft Thick & Spicy Barbecue Sauce (That looked like an angry bark from Lightnin'!)
3. Coca Cola Hot Tops Prize Promotion (They're giving away my Grandma's old car here! And can we please have "Let's Make A Deal" back on TV again?)
4. Monterey Peninsula Auto Center (Wow, cool 70's graphics. It looks like something Michael Jackson would dance in front of)
5. Centrum Multivitamin Supplement (All of those colored bars remind me of the periodic element table)
6. Speed Stick by Mennen (Step away from the camera a little bit dude!)
7. Skin Bracer Aftershave by Mennen (Thanks! I needed that!)
8. Wendy's (That trucker creeps me out)

13. La Choy Kung Fu Theater (God Bless you Asian Stereotypes!)

17. Nestle Crunch (With Pete Rose! I wonder if he got that kid into gambling?)

What show on CBS are all these commercials from? They remind me of commercials appearing on Jeopardy!

[80sCommercialVault]

@MattJFisher The tape they're from is the 1985 Fourth of July Concert with The Beach Boys (Though the tape is of a rebroadcast recorded in '86). I'm thinking about posting some of it on the fourth this year, so stay tuned!

Can't an Asian enjoy dinner with out ninja's knocking down the door and doing Kung-Fu on them? Am I the only one??

[fred1671]

Via the internet, no doubt. I know it's been said a thousand times but I'll say it again... you had to have lived in the 80's to truly understand the culture.

Being a young teenager in that era was second to no other generational time period- in my opinion, of course.

Pete Rose in a uniform?!?

[Stephie2007]

i used to use sea breeze back in middle school. I had really bad acne then too and the stuff stung so much! of course this was the only 'good' acne-fighting facial cleanser sold on base since my dad was still in the air force at the time and the stuff was cheaper on base than going to walmart even though he sometimes perferred going there.

Meredith whatever the hell her name is was a sexy older mama back in the day

[DarkRider69]

@blugreen123 Yep, and (and I know I'm dating myself here) the incomparable Carlton the Doorman.

[Aiglos]

hahahaha. Thick and spicy guy took a fake bite out of a fake chicken leg.:-P

[Tornado1994]

LOL I remember those crazy kung fu La Choy commericals, really bad Chinese stereotypes. Its Lorenzo Music, God I miss him and his voice, he's been gone for 10 years now.

[blugreen123]

@DarkRider69

the voice of Garfield the Cat, right?

[blugreen123]

do any Wendy's still serve breakfast? I know the Arby's where I live is unusual for not serving it.

I never liked Kraft bbq sauce. To me it always tasted like ketchup

13. everyone enjoys a good Asian stereotype!

[zackwords]

The late great Lorenzo Music (shilling for a product that's now its own punch line) @ 8:07
