Oh man I was 10 years old and I wanted to see Heavy Metal so bad. Saw it a few years later at the midnight movies and it was still awesome.
Got to love those Memorex commercials 😫🍷 RIP Tab one calorie no longer thank you Dave for another awesome video! 🙏📽📼📺🧈🧈
Great video. No problems with audio here. Wow I didn't know Tecate had been around so long. The ad for Heavy Metal was cool. Thanks Dave!
Thank you for posting these commercials! Nostalgic but depressing compared to where we are now. But, it's a nice escape.
Heavy Metal-Love Death + Robots can be considered the true spiritual successor
The guy w/ the sledgehammer in the Levi's ad is Tony Burton a.k.a Duke from the Rocky films
Gotta mention that Memorex ad next Friday.."I need your LOOOOOOVVVE!!!"
I know technically this is from the 1980s but it has serious 1970s energy
The 70s weren't quite done yet. 😄
It's like the early 90's still having 80's energy.
That is so true!
It's still the 70s
Living thru those times I can tell you that 1974 was when the 60s vibe completely faded and left and the 70s to become the era we associate with that feel and style. 1982 was about the time the 70s completely left the 80s and that 80s vibe took on it's own. The woman of the late 70s to mid 80s were so gorgeous as they flaunted their hair and wore make-up regularly that celebrated femininity ... and those tight jeans!
I had no idea it was not going to last and change so tragically to what we have today in bizarro world! A commercial like the Tab commercial here is something you wont see today because its politically incorrect in that it glorifies the sexuality of a healthy figure actually being admired and the woman being proud of her body teasing or enjoying turning a mans head. "Tab, for beautiful people"? What??? Wtf are they insinuating?!!! Today a girls bathing suit is worn underneath shorts and a tee shirt...and this is after the invention of sunscreen! but the way people look today it's just as well.
The 70s were the best times (in my lifetime anyway) and the start of the decline that ended the party was the dawning of AIDS. It was a real global cold shower changing the mood and relationships of people much like Covid has in dramatic fashion today, only Covid was handled with mandates and procedures that will never be erased from the consciousness of society for many many decades... and thats if we don't get something else in that time!. I feel both epidemics were man made purposely and deployed purposely or perhaps escaped accidentally from labs, but the point is they didn't just come out of nowhere, but dont take my word for it. Unfortunately things were already getting bad, but now people think and treat everyone else basically like a germ threat to be avoided. Great for the pharmaceutical industry! Hand sanitizer anyone? for beautiful people haha!
Today men in particular have been slandered as just creepy predators until proven otherwise which only adds to tension and social estrangement of people. There is no fun and joy in todays youth culture unless you count being personally buried into their phones swiping while playing brainless games or being brainwashed with fake outrage news, agendas, and memes. But hey today at least everyone is special just because they care now and support the current thing ..and there's no bullying so I guess all is good right? "Be kind" Haha, sad times and hopefully things change, but not confident on that.

R.I.P WENDY'S FOUNDER DAVE THOMAS 4:02
It wasn't something he ate, it was the Dr. Pepper he was singing about before he became " An American Werewolf"!!!!
OMFG that hair at 2:33 - hahahahaha!!
Sunday Funday just got better!
that was an astonishing collection of commercials! my how the world has changed, & stayed the same. the Levi's ad with the mythic character of John Henry pounding the nails on the rails to the MB5 motorcycle [my best friend owned one] to the gas sipping [cuz '81 was an era of high inflation, high interest rates & the ongoing oil embargos caused by OPEC] mopeds my mind is blown. oh! and catch the actor David Naughton in the Dr. Pepper commercial as well as the promo for his starring role in American Werewolf in London. i also kept thinking El Paso is literally a few blocks from Juarez so viewers on both sides of the border must get Mexican & American TV programming. damn! this is a great set, Dave! thank you!
@8:02..."Uh-Oh, V-E-R-N..."
Is it a pinned comment or is it Memorex? 🤔
Until I watched The Food That Built America, I'd no idea that Dave Thomas originally worked for KFC. He actually came up with a lot the things we consider iconic about KFC. Also, while he wasn't the first to come up with a drive-thru, he apparently was the first to come up with the idea of separate locations in the drive-thru for placing your order and picking it up.
It's kind of amazing how well the rebranding of Old Spice worked for them.
Yeaaaah, there's *a lot* in Heavy Metal they couldn't put in a trailer for television.
Although, I didn't grow up in the 80s I still remember checking the newspapers for movie times in the 90s
The quality on this 80s compilation is amazing Dave. Great job as always. I appreciate vintage and dreamy feel looking back this. Again I wasn't born just yet since it's 81. My arrival happened 83. Seeing such a young Dave Thomas is crazy.
Glad you enjoyed it, urban! :D
1979 to 1996 was the greatest era for commercials as the messages were forthright, meaningful, sensical, sensible and the commercials were well planned and crafted.
You have 2 commercials with David Naughton on here. The Dr pepper commercial and The "American wearwolf" one
Thought I was the only one that saw that ...good eye
Sick! Cue this up for next Friday. Love the Movie Trailers!
So awesome to see commercials from my birth year of 81, and Heavy Metal is such a kickass movie!!
saw it at the theater on its first run. love the flick. love the soundtrack. love the vibe of the entire movie! don't know if such a thing could be made today. lots of sex, violence & drug use. same goes for the promo for the Brooke Shields vehicle Blue Lagoon. she was i think 16 at the time. there is no way in hell a 16-year-old today would be cast in such a movie.
@@poetrich Awesome!! I think a Heavy Metal type movie could be done these days, just not by a major Hollywood studio as they would screw it up with BS SJW progressive politics being shoved it in when it's not needed, so it would need to be done by a Japanese, or Korean Anime house.
Far as Blue lagoon if I remember correctly it was a box office bomb despite the hype, and controversy at the time, but after Netflix releasing that Cuties movie, I would not put anything past them, and studios like the Disney groomers, but then again the public, and even major political figures are finally starting to push back against their crap thankfully, and their stocks are sinking like the Titanic.
For some reason I really want a Tab, Jordache Jeans and Agree shampoo...the song playing during the El Paso Aerial Tramway commercial is The Chase (Midnight Express Theme) which is also the opening music for the Coast to Coast AM radio show
I miss Art Bell so much. Did you know I called in a few tines back in the day
"Taste my schlitz" 😅😂🤣 Wow that sounds bad
Nostalgia! What I want to know is who had a VCR in 1981?! They were more expensive than most households could afford yet. My parents got theirs in 84.OK Other half is in the video business and he says this was from a Beta tape. More people at that point had Beta but VHS was catching up. Most people got VHS in 84 when the price wasn't so high but it still was. Beta was always more expensive.
My Dad was an early adopter in 1980 (RCA Selectavision 400). He taped Hanna Barbera cartoons for me with it. On a side note, he gave it to me when I was 10 (1987) when he got a better box. I made endless tapes of Saturday cartoons :)
Same
Some folks had vcr's in the late 70's.
One of my friends had one in 1979. We didnt get ours until Christmas 1983.
I'm the oldest of 6 kids, we were all between 9-18 in 1981. And we lived in a pretty well to do suburb of Detroit. I babysat for everyone. Very few people
had VCRs or Betamax in those early years. Just my experience which is a pretty core sample of above average white suburban USA.
I looked up when the Blue Lagoon reopened in theaters and it was in late August of 1981. This is the same month that MTV debuted, although at the beginning of the month. 1981 was a great year for pop culture!
Wow. The Year I Was Born. Never Seen Dave Thomas So Young.
That $0.20 Diablo Dog looks so appetizing. I like the decision to just toss it on the grass and take a pic.
I'm not hearing anything in this video, even with my phone at full volume.
You likely need to do you updates. Then, reboot. Same for computer, or laptop. The audio is fine here.
I wonder why beef strips never made it LOL
Hormel made Steak-Ums at the time for many years. They were great in the dorm rooms.
Awesome, the year I was born! Always a treat to get a new video Dave, thank you👍
1981, the year I came onto the scene!
Right on the cusp of millennial.
@@indridcold3762 a more "mature" Millenial 🤣
@@miri1350 That is more like it 😂👍
Hey buddy, no sound at all
I wish to god that I could remember 100% of what I know and go back to 1975 when I started school! I miss my family and I would have stayed in school! 98 % of my family is gone now. 😪😩😭
😂😆 Never Heard It Pronounced Ti-ca-tee 😆😂
Yeah now we’re talkin. I was 12 and life was pretty decent. Remember my parents taking us to the drive in to see American Werewolf.
McDonald's food was SOOOOO much better back then. Nuggets were dark and white meat mixed, bigger, crunchier and absolutely delicious. Everything now pails in comparison. Too much corporate greed cut back too much and McDonalds is now just a cheap imitator of what it once was.
wow yeah I guess that was the only way they could get away with a trailer for Heavy Metal, haha. didn't get into that movie til many years later but I enjoyed it.... just something about that era of animation I just really like. otherwise I was definitely too young to remember any of this, but still appreciate the blast from the past!!
Now you can get a McNugget meal for under $10......No coupon. :)
Thanks bud...time for the sunday time warp...👍🏼 just noticed it's from here sweet home El Paso, Tx .
I wish beef strips would've caught on. Mmmmmm beef strips!
The closest thing we have now is Steak-Umms. But they are thinly sliced.
Thank you Dave, so much in this one...! So many miles in my buds VW bunny, one of many cruze night rigs. This was a memorie over-load my friend:) Loved it!!!
I had to close the video and reopen and the sound started
“Something inside her stirs” as she looks down at his crotch. 😂👌🏾
Another fine collection dude! I love early 80s most bestest!
I don't wanna taste that guys' Schlitz. The way he says it is too weird.
Sup DAVE!!! thanks for another Friday night 🌙 🙌!!. Till then ,, take it easy,, of its east take it twice
Agree Shampoo and Conditioner smelled so good! It's a shame the brand doesn't exist anymore.
This was the year designer jeans became huge sellers. I never liked them. Still don't. Now, you have young people who wear only designer brands.
I used to only wear Levis when I was younger. Now, it's just Wranglers. Wranglers are so much more comfortable than Levis.
I've read that voices being able to shatter glass is a total myth. 🤷🏻♀️
Oh man, that Heavy Metal ad. STEEEERRRRNN!
I also like how they're playing Giorgio Moroder's Chase from the movie Midnight Express during that last one.
I miss these times before all
These evil social media’s platforms an big technology took over the world haven’t been simple at all no more plus these smartphones is destroying us too just sad how we are living now..
Lots of early 80s goodness! I wasn't even born in the 80s, some of these commercials hit a special place in my heart.
I love the good old beer commercials 🍺
*Checks out those townhomes in El Paso
Huh, they still look pretty good now.
"Only"12% Interest
watching episodes that explain how they did these graphics back then is amazing too.
Which video? I'm quite interested!
OMG... His hair in that Memorex commercial.
Is that Paul Willson from Cheers at 4:25?
I was born in 1976 and I remember a lot of these
Taste my Schlitz?!? lol hits different. My dad bought a big waste basket for our family room in the 70s that was a Schlitz can, I loved it. Saw AW in London with my then high school bf and it scared the crap out of me. Love these memories from my misspent youth! Including the hated NBC N!
I wanted to get an Angus calf for ag and name it Schlitz for the Schlitz Malt Liquor Bull but they said because I was a girl I had to have a lamb so I didn't take ag.
It would be cool if you found some old Houston 39 gold commercials, with mattress mack, call mr. Norman, and thunderbolt transmission.
YESSSSS HEAVY METAL that movie is freakkin awesomes ohhh my gigachu one of my alltime fave animated movies and i really remember the firebrand beef bacon only had it a few times as a very very lil one they stopped selling it in western washington state still dont know why though but it tasted very good these are awesome archives of 1981 thank you again rock on,
Just a better time.
Yes I agree with you, I really believe that we were blessed to have experienced those days.
The Chicken McNugget didn't come out until 1983 Doc Dave Brown, the same year as me 👀
This ad was most likely part of McDonald's 1981 trial launch campaign for the McNuggets. They were then rolled out formally in '83 due to supply chain issues. 😁👍
@@DavesArchives I thought that might have been what was happening!
I'm waiting for the guy in the Dr. Pepper commercial to turn into a Werewolf. 😁
Anybody remember a Mr Pibb commercial from1981 showing a cowboy in the desert who wishes for a Mr Pibb and one magically appears and then a bellydancer looking woman shows up and drinks it all? It has eluded me for years. Mr Pibb, the taste you can't put down!
12:48
Nice set!
2:02 Doug Jeffers on the voice-over for Firebrand Beef Strips.
5:20 Len Gochman on the v/o for Old Spice stick deodorant.
6:49 Percy Rodriguez tells us about a movie called "Heavy Metal."
7:49 Orson Bean does a nice voice-over for the Bic Roller.
"Heavy Metal"?? 1981. This person must have been recording for some reason. Old TV tapes score commercials!
That El Paso Aerial Tramway commercial used the same music as Art Bell’s radio show from the 2010’s “Midnight in the Desert” 😂😂😂
i always wanted a pair of Jordache jeans. i never got them! my mom thought I was too young for them. watching that ad almost made me cry!!
My mother wouldn't get them for me either. The closest I came to having "designer" jeans was Sergio Valente corduroys! 🤣
They were overrated!
@@ellemjayso true. It was all about having the label on your ass. 😄
All beef bacon strips and a guy who eats egg McMuffin like you've never had one before his f****** ridiculous McDonald's is classic for using over actors and then I'm on my way to my tug of war competition at the beer hall
no el Paso Tram Car for me thanks. I'll stick to the Albuquerque Tramway, it holds more than 6 people.
I recorded mix tapes on those Memorex cassettes straight from vinyl, too many to remember. During the heat of the summer, you couldn't carry them in your car or else you'd return to puddles of tape. But they were still state of the art in my '68 Nova.
“Taste my Schlitz” sounds really dirty.
Was that Art Bell in the Ranger Peak ad? It really sounded like him and the intro music for Coast to Coast AM
12% interest on a townhouse? It's crazy how high interest was back then
The 'fire brand' beef strips didn't age well...lol
It's like the 70s were still trying to die.
That 80s Macdonalds coffee was the best ever.
I remember the 7up and Tab commercials. These are really a treasure!!
Ahh 1981 the year I was born...👍👍
min 8:49 the original run of the Raiders TV ad 😯
I must watch your videos before bed is my routine thanks for the video and still keeping the intro and outro brother
David Naughton: "I think I did some things last night some terrible things I can't remember!!" Yes you danced around in a Dr Pepper commercial.
LOL that's me pretty much every Friday night live stream 😆
This is very comforting to me.
Is it live or is it hearing damage??
Still the 70s
0:11 - what is the name of the song?
Year in Slayer founded
Ahh, chicken and eggs... Two generations of genocide on a plate.
agreed! 😭
Damn! 6th Grade all over again :D
Never seen a moped ad😃
Yeah, it shows exactly why those hot dogs were 20 cents each!
got a 45 dollar bill
Everything was so affordable then, from cars to homes, $0.20 hotdogs 😳and free t shirts for the kids 15 and under.👍Too bad the prices didn't stay.
Did you account for inflation? A dollar back then could have purchasing power equal to that of something like 10 dollars today.
Remember that minimum wage was $3.35 then.
I've always liked 80s commercials even though I was born in 1982.

Awesome! Thanks for a great end to my Sunday! I promise I’ll stay awake for a whole livestream one if these days 😆. Drinking 10% beers during probably doesn’t help. ✌️📼🧈
