Um... not that I didn't fangasm with the Mario Bros. commercial, but why is Luigi wearing red? 

[80sCommercialVault]

@DecKrash Prior to Super Mario Bros for NES, Mario wore blue/red and Luigi wore green/red. Other than the white hat, the commercial is accurate to this color scheme.

2:57 I like how right after that Chevy dealer ad theres one for a Citation breaking down.

Billy Dee, Billy Dee!

That Mario Bros. commercial is amazing. Also, that CB & Stereo one actually made me laugh, especially the graphics that were intended to look like the Volkswagen had a face.

I love how it shows a chevy commercial and then the next commercial shows a chevy overheating.

great local commercials in this volume

those video 45's were an interesting idea. was that price just for 1 song & video? i'm sure it was quite cutting-edge @ the time

was "Bachelor Party" a successful movie? i don't hear it referred to in Tom Hanks's repetroire much

@Gavin2002 I THOUGHT that guy looked familiar!

I want a t-shirt that say "I'm Not Crazy Al."

[BreezyLotus]

haha "Not Crazy" Al reminds me of David Wooderson (played by Matthew McConaughey) from "Dazed and Confused"

Isn't Impulse great? It makes men stalk you like creeps!
