80's Commercials Vol. 100

These commercials aired on KTVU in June of 1984. Thanks to Paul for recording these and sending them my way. Also thanks to everybody for watching!

1. "Woody And Friends" Commercial Bumper
2. Fruit Roll-Ups (With Kirk Cameron and Jason Hervey!)
3. Golden Grahams (Another strange, failed animated cereal mascot)
4. Cap'n Jacks Pirate Ship at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk (AMAZING! That swinging Pirate Ship ride is just an indelible part of my childhood)
5. "Woody And Friends" Commercial Bumpers
6. McDonald's (With Sam the Olympic Eagle!)
7. Cocoa Puffs (I've never really been "Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs". I thought they were too sugary even as a kid)
8. Oakwood Lake Resort (Having fun in the 80's looked like so much more...fun)
9. "Woody And Friends" Commercial Bumpers
10. Cap'n Crunch Monster Phone Sweepstakes (I really want that Monster Button Phone, and no, I'm not 87 years old!)
11. Windsor Waterworks (Apparently, you're gonna get wet)
12. "Woody And Friends" Commercial Bumper
13. Super Sugar Crisp Solid Gold Sweepstakes (I wonder when they changed the name to Super Golden Crisp?)
14. Promo for "Solid Gold Hits" (Aired on 6/12/84)
15. E.T. Cereal (OMG shaped like E's and T's!)
16. Promo for "The Odd Couple"
17. Cinnamon Toast Crunch (No bakers? This is an outrage!)
18. Cheerios
19. Ringling Brothers Circus (I went to the circus only once when I was five, and from the little that I can remember, it was kind of overwhelming)
20. Trix (With Seth Green)
21. Fruit Roll Ups (I think by the time I started eating them later on in the 80's they were made by Betty Crocker)
22. Promo for "Solid Gold Hits" (Aired on 6/13/84)
23. "I'm Proud To Be An Italian-American" PSA
24. KTVU Station ID (The ending chord of this always makes me really nostalgic and wistful. *sigh*)

1 in 19,000 wins! Oh boy, I only have to buy more boxes of cereal than I'll ever consume in my life time to insure my victory!

@SyrupPiratesdotcom Those were actually very good odds for that type of contest.

After nearly 2 years, I have successfully seen the first 100 80s breaks posted by 80sCommercialVault! Surprised you've stayed on YT for so long! Many other people with big ad break collections have come and gone (VampireHunterDVD one of them, sadly) but you remain! While I've seen more than 100 of your videos, I've been trying to watch them in order! Thank you for continuing to share your memories, from California and elsewhere! Can't wait to see more ads from New York!

Here's to 100 more soon!

@DanZero77 I appreciate that you take your time going through these and make consistently great comments. Not all "serial commenters" do.

I had two strikes against my account a year ago, but I disputed them and won. I'm not really sure what I'll do if my account ever gets suspended, but you can bet that I'll put all of these up again, either on youtube or elsewhere.

Oh my god I was Six years old then! that came on around @2pm after the dialing for dollars movie (which numerous times the random number was ours but neither of my parents would answer the phone!) I'd watch this then switch to channel 36 for the Fantastic four and Jackson five cartoons then switch back to KTVU for the Spiderman cartoon at 4pm and then either Odd couple or Gilligan's Island would be on at 4.30

@moxie96 When I was editing this volume together I really wanted to include the Spider-Man Theme Song, but I was pushing the length of this video already.

If I remember correctly they had Chinese, Japanese, Black (pre African-American), Italian, and Mexican (pre Hispanic), and maybe one or two others (Native American?). The Japanese-American spot was two girls talking about how the Japanese have come a long way since the internment camps of WWII. The Black-American spot played an excerpt from MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech.

THANK YOU for posting one of these! Been looking for all those old KTVU PSAs for years!

There's a weird kind of irony to these things. Back when they first aired they were an petty annoyance and mostly ignored. Now it reminds us how we and the world has changed. The resort and Doom Flume commercials stand out above all the others to me.

Thanx so much for posting these!

I'm amazed at how many 1980s McDonald's commercials there are. Those things are like rabbits. I want that telephone with the really big buttons.

@80sCommercialVault If I give you my email will you notify me if you ever get deleted? And tell me where you'll be next? Please & Thank-You.

@DanZero77 I was subscribed to both channels also and used to play both of them. I also miss VampireHunterDVD, but I am glad this channel is still on...

The girl at the end of the fruit roll ups commercial 9 or so minutes in, is now a commentator on CNBC- Her name now is Mellissa Francis- she used to go by Missy Francis. She was in a bunch of other things in the 80s :-)

5 will get you 10 that was Frank Welker as the voice of Sam The Eagle.

E.T. Cereal-still better than E.T. The Video Game.

@deyoungparker The kid in the middle is Danny Ponce from Valerie/The Hogan Family.

I have just been watching some old cartoons recorded on tape and I saw that "Woody and Friends" bumper pop up between cartoons, along with similar bumpers featuring to Bugs Bunny and Tom and Jerry.
