Is it just me or does it seem like commercials back in the 80's were all happy and musical. Now Commercials today are just so stupid.

when i'm bored, i go on youtube and watch retro commericals. lol

[sorcerio]

I wish there was a tv channel today that had old shows and old commercials and also current sports and news but produced with old analog technology and presented stylistically like the late 70's & early 80's.

In fact it would be cool if there was a channel for each era and style.

TV now just sucks the way it is.

Hey, it's kind of interesting that we all know these commercials because we actually watched them. But nowadays we just change the channel. So in the future, no matter how many years pass, no one will be looking at commercials from the 2010s for nostalgic purposes because no one ever saw them in the first place!

@hughesms: LMFAO!

2:26 Old Lady was adamant about the effectiveness of the product; belligerent even ...

[LedWilde]

Wish I had a time machine these days but who knows, maybe the future will be bright. I was only 3 in 1982 but sometimes wish I was 32 right now in 1982. I'd be old as fuck by 2011 but oh well. Sometimes I think it would be worth it.

@4:14 Old lady gets busted sniffing glue.

[Reborn8303]

@freewaydan Judy Woodruff, who was the Washington correspondent for Today at the time. (She went to PBS the next year.)

@kcosta010010011001 It's because back then we had confidence and pride in ourselves and our culture. Today we're more sharply divided. Since we've been the only superpower for so long now, I think the sense of camaraderie that comes with competing together against some foreign power has vanished and left us with only self-hate. For all its dangers, the Cold War may have actually had some psychological benefits. Not saying I want another one, just wishing I could go back to The Rad Decade.

Who was that lady filling in for Jane Pauley at 6:00?
