80's Commercials Vol. 1

A bunch of commercials that aired on NBC primetime on September 7th, 1986.

1. Hi-C (Featuring a young Alyssa Milano on the right)
2. Grape Nuts Cereal (THE Yuppie cereal of choice)
3. Hanes Underwear (They don't make commercials like this anymore!)
4. AT&T (With Cliff Robertson and Kristine Sutherland)
5. Red Lobster
6. Promo for "Smurf Quest" (I want to watch this now, damn it!)
7. Weight Watchers (Featuring Lynn Redgrave)
8. Sticklets Gum (Hilariously awful)
9. Promo for "Going Ape" (Starring Tony Danza, Danny DeVito and Jessica Walter! Arrested Development fans should love this)
10. Promo for "Amazing Stories"
11. Burger King Chicken Tenders (These look more like real chicken strips than the pieces of crap they sell today)
12. Generra Clothes (God please kill me now)
13. Promo for the weather on WBZ-TV Boston (Fighting the frizzies, at eleven)
14. Duracell Batteries (Cool puppets!)
15. Hillshire Farm Sausage (Hilarious!)
16. Extra Sugar Free Gum
17. Kool Aid Koolers (What a catchy jingle!)
18. Florida Frozen Orange Juice (The freeze is the reason!)
19. Nabisco Shredded Wheat Cereal (This used to scare me as a kid, don't ask why. Maybe it's the deadly amount of salt and sugar deposited on the cereal)
20. "Captain EO" (Awesome 3-D attraction at Disneyland and Epcot Center starring Michael Jackson)

@RiverAccorsi They're not. Most of the announcing greats from the 80's are dead.

For some reason I felt like I was waiting for a TV show to come back on.

I don't know about you, but this feels right.

I was singing the "Extra" gum commercial. Wow, can't believe I still know the words. lol

I read that the colorful, daring, decadent 80's is attributed to a good economy. The better the economy the more money people have, the more money the beter people feel about themselves. The better they feel, the more daring and colorful their get-ups will be. People that are insecure because of finances or otherwise tend to dress in drab, flat or bland colors. What are your opinions on this?

@mowiarty maybe not epic, but it was a very cool time to grow up.

Joyce Summers has come back from the grave and is telling me that AT&T is GOOD (have no idea what AT&T is but still).
