80's Commercials Vol. 11

A bunch of commercials that aired on local ABC affiliate KGO on October 29th, 1989.

Commercials for:
1. Nabisco Shredded Wheat (After this and the commercial in Vol. 1, I'm convinced the Nabisco ad people were on acid throughout the 80's)
2. Wendy's (With Dave Thomas! RIP Big Guy!)
3. Promo for "Who's The Boss" (:In Tony Danza voice: "Angela!") and "The Wonder Years" (Kind of a strange joke to use for a commercial)
4. Wrigley's Gum (Share a little piece of America!)
5. Subaru Legacy (Love the cartoon sound effects)
6. Anti-Drug PSA (I love the veiled suggestion that marijuana causes permanent brain damage)
7. Promo for "The Real Ghostbusters Halloween Special" (It's gonna be fun, fun FUN!)
8. Promo for "Doogie Howser M.D." and "Anything But Love" (Richard Lewis had a sitcom? With Jamie Lee Curtis?)
9. Bounty Candy Bar (The dark chocolate commercial gets an African-American model, naturally)
10. Luvs Diapers
11. Little Lost and Founds (Who the hell wants an orphaned stuffed animal that cries constantly? Is this the start of the Emo fad?)
12. Toys "R" Us (Awesome!)
13. Promo for "The Final Days" (Nixon TV movie FTW!)
14. Toys "R" Us (Is it my imagination or are a few of the kids here British or Semi-Canadian?)
15. Downy Fabric Softener
16. Hasbro Toys/Downy "Night Before Christmas" sweepstakes
17. "Bambi" on Videocassette (With $3 back with the purchase of Crest Toothpaste!)
18. Matchbox Superfast (Which will win, Slicks or Knobbies?!?)
19. Promo for "Full House" and "Family Matters" (Who would've thought those Olsen twins would be creepier as adults?)
20. Naturalizer Shoes (Sounds like dialog from the 1940's!)
21. Volvo (They're ugly but safe!)
22. Mita Copiers (One of the strangest commercials I've ever seen)
23. The Explorer Home Computer (I immediately retract my last statement)

[80sCommercialVault]

@mizzrandome They're creepy looking, have over 100 million dollars between them and the one with the shifty eyes probably killed Heath Ledger.

Did you have a Showbiz Pizza Place or Chuck E Cheese in your town in the 80's.

[80sCommercialVault]

There's a Chuck E. Cheese around 30 miles from where I live but I don't think we ever went there. I've never seen a Showbiz Pizza in the state of California.

That's awful. Cheap jerks

[Stephie2007]

@WumWip it changed sizes and expanded menu choices recently. the biggie size was dropped from the menu probably due to obesity and to encourage people to think healthy. personally i call bs b/c the chain bought arby's in 2008

[mizzrandome]

@80sCommercialVault is the one with the shifty eyes marykate coz i heard people accused her of killing her boyfriend and they where amazing on full house and i love their movies

[Retrofanatic10]

OMG! Dave Thomas! I love him!!!! I remember always wanting to go to Wendy's just so I could meet him. I never did :( but I will always remember how awesome he was!
