There's nothing wrong with these commercials, most are very good compared to today. I say this as someone who generally hates commercials. The 80's were so much better than today.
True. The worst that could have happen is that they did not gain that much customers as projected. The 2020's commercials are much worse. Companies spent millions of dollars on ads and then lost millions of customers. Take Gillette for instance.
No your just one of those now haters i was born in the 80s and i hated those stupid commercials there are only a few i like even now i have more i like
No generation was good you just turned you eyes away from the evil that happens and had fun and nowadays those hidden evils were unleashed more and some choose to fight against them and others choose to make things worse
By your own logic, no «generation» (if you could actually assimilate hundreds of millions of people into a single way of thinking and behaving) should be low enough to condemn or call people stupid when they barely know anyone from said other generation. That counts for you as well, all the «millenials» (who are not teenagers anymore) you talk about and surely personally know must makes at least 50% of the world «millenials» right?
I used to get celestial seasonings tea for $.75 a box in a big barrel of assorted teas in Boulder, Colorado at their facility. Came home with a dozen boxes.
Because nothing is more romantic than a mass produced bouquet with built in candy, produced by the candy company. I'm sure there are some local commercials that surpass this. Like the Accent Mobile Homes commercials, if you were in Tennessee in the late 1990s.
Ummm... I don't get it. Did I miss something?? What's so bad about ANY of these commercials? It was the 80's, and that's simply how a lot of commercials WERE back then! Good times, if you ask ME!
Does anyone know the name of the blonde girl in the FTD flowers commercial at one minute? I know I've seen her in something, some 70's or 80's movie or t.v. show. I've been racking my brain trying to remember. If anyone knows, I'd appreciate the information Thanks.
I think it's Kay Campbell from JC Penny's catalogs of the 70s. Go to this BlogSpot page: kathyloghry.blogspot.com/2016/05/k-club-special-part-26-kay-campbell.html Is this the same person?
I was born in 2003 so I never saw the 80s wow I would have never survived those days. Wow the video quality is horrible! Oh my.. I I need to go poor bleach in my eye balls
And people who tried to pioneer video games at a time it was badly views, creating masterpieces along the way like NES or Genesis/Mega Drive games. Pitfall 2 is also a lot of fun.

its absurd
The only bad one I saw was the first one. The others were OK and the Listerine commercial I thought was actually quite good.
No your just one of those now haters i was born in the 80s and i hated those stupid commercials there are only a few i like even now i have more i like
I find these commercials more interesting and make more sense than the present time commercial.
I miss the 80s.
The 80s sucked!
There is nothing wrong with these commercial. I love them. These commercials are way better than today. I miss the 80s.
Game commercials in the 80s: defeat the boss! Save the princess!
Game commercials now: 99% CANT COMPLETE THIS LEVEL 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Get your red hots
I don’t see what’s dumb about these commercials. I like them.
how I would love to go back to the 80's...how I wish those good times never stopped rolling!
I totally agree
No generation was good you just turned you eyes away from the evil that happens and had fun and nowadays those hidden evils were unleashed more and some choose to fight against them and others choose to make things worse
Did i just see a lemon tea that is red??? :=]
what's the issue with the tea commercial, other than it's not very compelling?
She's completely, pretentious.
Same with the listerine commercial.
Ever wonder what we intelligent independent adventurous types drink?
[sips tea] Aaaaauuhhht
😆
Dumb commercials??? Hell, I'd rather watch these ads than.... hmmmm, let's see....
Flo from Progressive
The Sonic Drive-In Guys
The Geico Gecko
We intelligent independent adventurous types
Imagine cuddling with your SO and they yell *GET YOUR RED HOTS* randomly
Then how about 'OPEN WIDE FOR CHUNKY!'
They're pretty good, to be honest. As good as a gingivitis awareness commercial could be, at least.
_Please dont let this feeling end_
I have a new catch phrase at the bars
Inside or back at the bushes?
The world greatly feared gingivitis in the 1980s. So glad those days are over.
Gingivitis is still a thing. It's still something to be avoided.
Drink silica water and eat grass fed dairy
Millennials are in no position to call somebody or something else dumb
I'm an upper gen Z
Thank you!

I'll take a scotch and a listerine.
That guy wasted his beautiful. looks on an air freshener commercial.
Beautiful? :P
Yeah. He's hot.
mst3kanita
If you say so :P... I prefer to watch Brook Shields in those commercials :). Regards.
mst3kanita lol!
I prefer him in gay pron.
You can still drink like a fish and multiply like rabbits but say no to gingivitis.
I remember a couple of these. The 80's a great time!
@0:27 "lasts longer than majik mushroom. "
The commercials shown have nothing on today's insurance commercials.
"Gingivitis!"
Please, don't let this chipmunk end 1:26
And advertisers wonder why people hate watching commercials...
Oh god the roommate one was the worst
Ok, the last one's especially silly XD
I just found the first one to be silly.
Those weren't dumb!
I notice there is no social engineering in these commercials. They're not ramming interracial couples and gays down our throat
I thought for a moment there that 2nd commercial guy (roommate) was Bob Seger.
1:09 this should be a great segment for Married With Children
Whats dumb about them?? Compared 2 today's commercials they should b awarded an oscar.
Celestial Seasoning Tea is still great! Honey, Vanilla, Chamomile flavor to be exact.
Mariette Hartley is definitely my hot cup of 🍵.
The dumbest commercials of the 80s? Pretty much all of em. But then that's why we love the 80s cos sometimes dumb is kinda intellectual cool.
I remember all those commercials . That does not mean we are getting old , does it ?
Because nothing is more romantic than a mass produced bouquet with built in candy, produced by the candy company. I'm sure there are some local commercials that surpass this. Like the Accent Mobile Homes commercials, if you were in Tennessee in the late 1990s.
Haha magic mushroom
That roommate commercial I wonder how it would have been with Bob Saget.
Ummm... I don't get it. Did I miss something?? What's so bad about ANY of these commercials? It was the 80's, and that's simply how a lot of commercials WERE back then! Good times, if you ask ME!
These are not wacky. They are perfectly normal. What is absurd about them?
There are dumbest commercials nowadays
The listerine one wasn't too bad.
I had a roommate who never bathed as well, wish I knew about the air freshner, he sure needed it, even people up stairs complained about the stench.
@Bon Franklind Yup, heading is dumbest commercials of the 80s (lol)
Is it just me ro did anyone else think the Listerine commercial was actually quite good.
The Listerine one reminded me to get some Listerine in 2021
*get ur red hots*
Does anyone know the name of the blonde girl in the FTD flowers commercial at one minute? I know I've seen her in something, some 70's or 80's movie or t.v. show. I've been racking my brain trying to remember. If anyone knows, I'd appreciate the information Thanks.

It's Jayne Modean. She was a popular model and actress in the 70's and 80's. She appeared in print ads in magazines for years.
1:06 Did that guy just say he got his wife a hamster for Valentine's day?? WTF was wrong with people in the 1980's??
Hamsters were the shit in the 80s lmao
Um the 80’s ruled my guess is u weren’t alive then & are sad u missed iut
0:30 what is the 1984 TriStar Pictures logo doing here in this video??? you are here to gallop through gingivitis??
i need to go to bed
😂 I remember those dumb ass commercials! Feels good to look back though
I like the kid and the time machine Doritos commercial. Not 80's but funny.
What was wrong with the first one?
Ahhhhh. I can't believe it I'm still watching. Bad news I'm making a comment. Please don't let this feeling....Gingivitis!!!!
Glad she got some red hots instead of a hamster.
The hubby probably has a hamster...urm..nevermind..
Gingivitis, look out!
Like she didn't see the giant fucking bouquet of flowers on the couch behind her?
oh god, i thought it said STD flower bouquets at first
Hannah *snort*
I hate 'erb tea. I prefer the proper black stuff made with tea leaves, like a normal person.
lol!
Oh. My. God....Gingivitis!
What the fuck is dumb about the Celestial Seasonings commercial?
What's a "magic mushroom"?
It sounds like a designer drug.
From what I know, it was a popular brand of pottery in the 70's. I guess they made air fresheners in the 80's?
it was an air freshener.
i have seen worse commercials than these
Yeah, the last one was dumb. Nothing wrong with the first 3.
@Marcus Straya First of all: Wrong
2nd: I take that as a compliment
3rd: Wtf are you even talking about?
@AirborneRangers75th thanks for telling me your life story
Last part don't get it
Not even close
Why are some of these in your dumb commercials list like the mouth wash one it was good
I was born in 2003 so I never saw the 80s wow I would have never survived those days. Wow the video quality is horrible! Oh my.. I I need to go poor bleach in my eye balls
you dont know what you missed kid we had 8 pixels!!!!
The 80s was the best, maybe the commercial weren't so great but everything else was!
What’s so dumb about these commercials lmao
1:04 I vomited in my mouth
This is why the 80s invasion was called off. The comedy value of keeping those pesky human vermin, alive was far too great!!
The last commercial look sooo crappy! and cheesy!
80s > 2010s and 2020.
Oh, really, eh?
Loll
I mean what can you expect from a decade that produced Atari games?
Atari is awesome. Go play Fortnite
And people who tried to pioneer video games at a time it was badly views, creating masterpieces along the way like NES or Genesis/Mega Drive games. Pitfall 2 is also a lot of fun.
carnations and red hots?? cheap ass...
Yeah... they were pretty dumb..
The commercials today!
video title is accurate
FIRSTIES!!!!!!!
