80's Commercials Vol. 18

These commercials aired on local ABC affiliate KNTV 11 on the afternoon of September 29th, 1987. These are the sort of daytime TV, infomercially ads that usually make me want to slit my wrists, but they're from the 80's, so I automatically love all of them.

1. News Break (San Francisco Giants get first place in NL West)
2. 976 HITS (The answer is Bon Jovi, obviously)
3. Calico Kate's Restaurant
4. Bay Valley Tech (That jingle is amazing)
5. Nutri System
6. Electric Mobility Scooters (That old guy going up the curb is my hero)
7. Promo for "Cheers"
8. U.S. Savings Bonds
9. Northern California AIDS Hotline
10. Superior Training Services
11. Contour Chair Lounge (With Art Linkletter! The VCR guy is incredible!)
12. Northern California AIDS Hotline (With Ron Reagan)
13. Remnant World Discount Carpets (Remnant World sounds more like a future dystopian outpost in a Kurt Russel/John Carpenter movie than a carpet store)
14. News Break
15. Padway & Padway Lawyers
16. Furnishings 2000
17. Diet Pepsi (Awesome!)
18. The Spirit Of San Jose (Featuring footage of Pope John Paul II's visit to California)
19. Lovestars (The voices saying "Stars, Stars" really creep me out)

@Nox0verstreet This channel is about preserving 80's commercials...both good and bad, all stripes and colors. If you're not prepared to sit through the occasional crappy local ad or infomercial...this channel is not for you.

Is Calico Kate's still around? Looks like some delish food. Where is/was it located?

[80sCommercialVault]

@humhunny It was located in San Jose, CA. The location is now a Round Table Pizza.

when people get home and put there electric mobility away they probably go out in the yard and do some landscaping

[80sCommercialVault]

@slipknot789able The elderly folks in the commercial do NOT look like they'd be doing yardwork. Especially the Woman rolling up to the medicare claims office . This was way before these power chairs were marketed to the morbidly obese.

the 80's was hands down the best decade of all time.

@st4ngeI2 Yeah, let's just pretend inflation doesn't exist!

[heavenlyflower1412]

Guess what?!!! Vicki Ingle did not lose 125 pounds on nutrisystem! She did not look that heavy she had to have weighed over 300 pounds and she diffinatley looks like she may have been at most 250 pounds tops...if that really is her.

@laichi16 People with Aid knowingly or unknowingly donated blood and [[people got it.

[laichi16]

If I remember right (and please correct me if I'm wrong, because my memory of the 80s is a bit blurry),people were afraid to have blood transfusions because of AIDS, right?

[laichi16]

@80sCommercialVault Unfortunattely, because of that, people who really DO need a power chair are consitered "lazy."

Two of my favourite things: Big large trucks, and large rolls of carpet and fabric. Cool.
