Me: skips the commercials every time I watch RUclips videos
Also me: watches this 50 minute long video from start to finish
Because the old ones are entertaining. The new ones just plain suck.
Facts!! And searching all channels for these commercials 😂😂😂
what do you mean skip? i hope your using adblocker + youtube adblock you wont ever see commercials on youtube unless your disabled then you deserve it
Damn LMAO i didnt even think about that but its true.
😁😂
80's commercials are better than anything currently on Netflix.
Funny how the same commercials that aggravated us while watching TV in the 80s are actually what we WANT to watch 40 years later.
I was 8 years old in 89 and these commercials remind me of being at my paternal grandmother's house during the summer school break. I can see it. My grandmother is vacuuming the floor in her house coat. The small house way back in the Appalachain mountains smells like smoke from the wood cook stove. The tv was an antenna that only picked up a couple channels. My grandfather is sitting in his chair out on the covered porch preparing to take me to the river fishing. I miss this. Where did my life go? That was life. This daily grind now is not what life is meant to be.
Have to have 60000 dollar boat to go "fishing" or they point and laugh. People suck
Where did my life go? Sad shit my bro.
We are too busy consuming and striving for extraordinary that we will the small things that are truly what make all of this worth it...
I miss it too.
Pretty cool 👍
Commercials were so cinematic back then. We had to know a lady’s whole life story for some furniture polish. And a wedding day montage for toothpaste! 😄
LOL yep, they had to have a whole firm to come up with Helen from suburbia and why she only uses chubs lmbo miss these commericals, and TV werent as full of sex and violence as it is today i miss my childhood
😂😂😂 so accurate
TV shows too🤣Always got a long intro song
@@ytallowskids2seedepravityb219 OOooh yea..
I used to sing the theme song of tv show "Step by Step" from start to finish and my sister would sing the female voice along.
loooong intro compared to todays standards.
Thank you for bringing back the long intro memory :D
@@PutsOnSneakers OMG ME TOOOO🤣🤣🤣singing Step by Step with my wooden spoon mic
I kinda feel a little brainwashed now. I want cereal and orange juice, and a perm, some vitamins, and a call toll free chair for no particular reason.
I want to go back to the 80s!
certainly sir
a lot maxi pads
Right on. Maybe some powdered butter.
…and every feminine product.
It really is a trip to see a commercial you haven't seen in 30+ years and all of a sudden hidden memories are unlocked.
It is amazing
Butter buds for me
Slim Fast and other ads!
Yes! I agree... most of it is just the pain of lost innocence and hope, then realizing how time has broken my soul with many marks of regret, remorse and despair... it's a mess to not become what your inner child wanted to be.
You forgot those memories. It doesnt unlock a dang thing.
The 80's, where every healthy food alternative was way worse.
Two words
FAKE BUTTER lol
Now it's 2022 and my keto diet is like PUT BUTTER IN YOUR COFFEE lol
Reading this while drinking black coffee with coconut oil in it, need those early morning MCTs.
@@MzKitka I know right.. fake butter... 😂 I absolutely can't!
I remember the "fat-free" cheese my mom bought when I was a kid. It literally didn't melt.
I will never not be convinced that keto is wack
words cannot express how much I miss growing up in the 80's
Much simpler times ❤️
Same
@P.Montas Stupid comment
It is not the 80s that you are missing. The 80s were not a good time. Most of that decade can be characterized by consumerism and fake outwardly appearances of the successful people while we didn't hear enough from the people who had suffered or didn't succeed. Thats why the 90s were a response to the superficiality and coke driven 80s. What you are really missing is your childhood because in most people's lives childhood was a happy time.
Words cannot express how glad I am that the 80's are over and never coming back!
After each commercial, I'm expecting a show to come back on.
... and now, back to the show!
Actually, I like this. Before, I only had time to go to the bathroom. Now I have time to take a shower!
@@port566 lol 🤣
It's well edited to give that exact same timing.
That's how sublimal these apots were. We have been programmed for over 40 years! Not complaining tho, better than what kids go thru today!
Everyone else: Oh these commercials are so wholesome!
Me: Did they just vacuum up that poor goldfish?
Yes, but they put it back.
I was thinking I was only one 😆
I know! I literally gasped at rhe fish getting sucked up!
@@hollylanevintagetreasures Same!
@@StrawberrySoju_1 this is deceptively hilarious
These commercials are heartwarming and come with nice-sounding jingles. Commercials nowadays are annoying and loud and somehow manage to try way too hard and not hard enough at the same time.
no their only all commercials that’s what the title says sing song
🤓
well, except vacuuming a gold fish
Yes commercials now are annoying 👍
these commercials are what numbed the minds of those that created today's commercials
This is patently false. Commercials today are very similar to the commercials back then. The difference is that the old commercials are what many of us remember in the context of our childhood which for many people, usually means "happy memories". The commercials today are contextualized by our less than happy lives today because we are older and have more problems.
Plus, even if the old commercials seemed to be "happier", its still fake and superficial happiness which has never represented reality. That is why the culture and music are different in the 90s when people were largely responding to the extreme consumerism and fake happiness of the 80s. Just like the people in the 60s and the 70s were reacting to the "happy go lucky" false image of the world shown to us in the post war 40s and 50s.
These commercials remind me of being home from school while faking sickness. I only pulled it off a couple of times. Daytime tv was like a whole new world of tv. lol
Wow😂😂😂 wasn't those the ones... absolute best days ever🥰🥰🥰
Yes it totally was!!
Same sweetie! Daytime gameshows and Donahue were my jam!
Absolutely!! My mom would very like "I got things to do. Don't touch the stove, don't answer the door, don't answer the phone" and be gone for a few hours. I had the whole house to myself for a bit. It was glorious 🤣
I'd just videotape the show I wanted to watch which enabled me to zap through the ads..
The good old days. When life was good. People got along. People respected each other.
As an 80's baby these are NOT commercials, they are NOSTALGIA !!!
Tampon and pad advertisements in the 80s: how many ways can we talk about a period without talking about a period.
watch the movie "Carrie"... that's how teens learned about their periods back then.. :-)
LOL!!
This video is like a warm blanket, thank you for the upload.
Good old days 🥰
Couldn't of said it better myself
Yeah nothing but white people.
Ya, freedom, fun and no millennials!
Yes a warm blanket while curled up on a soft sofa in front of a fireplace in the winter good ol days
The memories tied to these commercials….I would give anything to be that age again…sitting with my family and not a care in the world.
Me too. I miss simpler times before the world went insane.
Same 😭
It would be very cool to go back for a week or so. Life was so different, I had school and my friendships and relationships were so much different than they are now
Yes! I miss those day's!
@@brianmeen2158 Same here. Back then, I was bullied incessantly. Not anymore!
I sure miss being a kid....the 70's and 80's were so fun
being a kid was fun. doesn't matter the decades. everyone reaches a place where childhood years become very nostalgic. ♥️🕊
I was born in 78 and the 70's did look fun....too bad I don't remember, lol! But I still have the 80s and 90s.
I don't! The 80's were hell for me. The late 70s were pretty good, the few years I remember before grade 1. The mid-90's were my favourite years. Not everyone has fond memories of the 80's!
I'm good. Rather stay adult and be responsible for myself instead of parental rules. But would not mind taking a visit back to the '80s as someone nearing the 5-0.
The 80s will always be remembered as the tampon vs. maxipads war
I was born in 1997, and I'm watching this like.... there were OTHER tampon brands?🙃
TOTALLY!
@@HayleeFox15 Im watching it too and I was born in 1994 and yeah there is several brands of tampons and maxipads even now
Makes tampons look like fun.
My sister who is a teacher and pastor shops at Costco and has a new puppy. One day she woke up to hundreds of tampons strewn all over her yard
I would go back to the 80s in a heart beat. Things made more sense back then,,, Like the memories..Thanks for posting
Good times for me too. Not so much for my parents. They wouldn't go back...
Everything was better back then just about. 90s too. the 2020s can take their covid BS and shove it!!
I agree I'm trying to build a time machine. When I learn and build it , I will text you.
I say this often. People made more sense back then and nobody’s feelings were hurt as bad.
One day there will be a video of 2020's daytime commercials. It'll be 50 minutes of "Ask your doctor", "You may be entitled to compensation", "clinically proven" or "don't take this drug if you're allergic to it". Why can't we go back to the days when commercials weren't so annoying?
🤣
@A S Very good point!
Right they just tell you about the product and be done with it
One commercial I saw 6 months ago was a couple having a BBQ on the back porch when the wife sees a termite on the railing and tosses a pepper shaker at it then the whole porch collapses then the speaker tells us to buy a wood protector 😀
I hated commercials back then, too! :b
Bittersweet memories. I'm softly smiling, but my heart is a little heavy.
Me too
Exactly
Yup...those times are long gone
From the butter buds right? 😀
Well said
There’s something so magical about these commercials. I know that sounds cheesy but it’s true. The tone, the background music, so much about these are wholesome
Wholesome is questionable, fun yes
Back in the late 80's and early 90's, with commercials, they weren't afraid to be ridiculous, they were filled to the brim with imagination, they were often loud, in your face, fun and colourful. They just had this cozy/comforting feeling, that you just don't get anymore. Current times straight up suck.
Current times suck for you because you are miserable. You have filled your life with bad choices and have been a failure at most everything you've done.
@@24spoce8 , no. They are fun and wholesome.
@@NeonPizza80s , I agree.
I wish I could crawl inside my phone and crawl out back in 1989. It was A PERFECT YEAR.
Just to go back to those lovely years and be blissfully unaware of the horror that awaits us in the 2000’s 😒
No kidding!
20 kids just killed while in school, Buffalo massacre, inflation, covid, gas prices...I wish everyone the best!
It was the calm before the storm! lol
Seriously.
I blame Obama
Most of these ads have a "family" theme to them.
I am thinking about the current ads, from Apple, Nike, etc... most of the ads today are about you personally looking good, cool, having new experiences.
yea and families today can't be all white. they have to be bi racial and/or gay.
An excellent observation.
Marketing changes along with the culture to which companies advertise. Back then, having a family was a necessity. Nowadays, it's all about independence, self-gratification, acceptance, and self-actualization. 🙂
Don't forget your proper pronouns for all the degenerates.
thats because these commercials were aired on daytime tv when most people watching were stay at home mothers
When these were on TV they were an annoyance, 30+ years later they are nostalgic.
I can't believe I'm tearing up, in a good way, over a collection of commercials. In a heartbeat...in a heartbeat.
Me too!
Not one mention of social media, the internet, cell phones. I was 9 years old in 89 and man times were great back then, I miss it soooo much
Same exactly here. I miss it soooo bad. Today is cold and evil
Sadly social media and technology has ruined the family unit.. growing up in the 80s we had quality family time together there definitely was more focuse on family unity, we ate meals together..home cooked from scratch meals not drive thru or door dash dropped off food either lol but yeah we sat at the table together as a family everyday same time usually and we had and shared conversations about our day and talked about any problems we had however today kids are being thrown bags of drive thru food late in the evening in their rooms while being on their phones or iPads.. It's sad. I was watching my grandchildren one evening 3&5 and both were eating McDonald's and on their iPads 8:30pm on school night for my 5yr old granddaughter and it took me back to my childhood I was thinking wow things have really changed.
Well, that's because they didn't exist....
@@melaniebrown7703 Exactly, i was born in 1983 so my childhood was spent outdoors having adventures with friends, fast food was a treat that my siblings and I only had maybe once a week if that, and on rainy days we sat and watched TV and played a few video games but we preferred being outdoors. People seemed more social too. I remember our neighbors always sitting outside on the front stoops of our apartment complex. They all looked after each others kids and everyone knew everyone. Nowadays my own son is about to turn 8, and despite there being plenty of little kids on our block, I never see them outside. Quite a few have tablets or smartphones so now my son wants his own. I personally would hate to look back on my childhood and see that I wasted it away staring at a smartphone. Things have definitely changed. I remember it being a treat in the 80's and early 90's to go to the mall or movies or even McDonald's. We even had a bunch of indoor amusement park type places with rides, arcade games, laser tag and food courts that were perfect for rainy days or if our parents wanted us out of their hair for a few hours, lol. Now they're all closed:(
@@melaniebrown7703 yep I’m so glad I grew up without social media and iPads and smart phones. As cool as they are for some things they have a pretty big overall negative impact on our lives. It makes people much less social and connected .
LOVE these, not sarcastic, ironic or snarky. They are wholesome and family friendly. Yeah, they can be cheesy (but that is what these great and easy to watch)
Did you notice that back then shows were not inundated with commercials like they are now. Also there were less of them. Simpler times.
Im glad you noticed that. Commercials today are whiney. They also seem to be filled with partiality.
@James ,I wasnt sure how to word my comment because of the opinion police out there, but you said it correctly 'Agenda'. This agenda is trying to do away with certain people who still happen to be the majority.
@James , yes my family are originally from Mexico, i was born in Los Angeles. My father was citizen when I was born, my mother became a citizen after, and all my family Love The United States! I'm married to a man of British and German decent, and his family emigrated from these countries about 100 years ago. None owned people if you catch my drift. My son is of Austrian Spanish German and Mexican decent likde his father my first husband. This is why I get upset at what's happening on tv and in general, because am I supposed to cancel my family because they are not as some say melanin enough? Are they supposed to cease to exist? I'm dark skinned, but that doesnt entitle me to anything including hating people for the color of their skin light or dark, but whoever is running the advertising industry in America seem to think its ok to do so.
@James lots of us. My son girlfriend is black and she doesn't like this agenda and always says they don't speak for her!
50 minutes of 80s commercials, and not a single "byyyyyyyyyyyy MENNEN"? This is unacceptable.
How dare they!!
Coooooo-stanza
WHERE'S THE BEEF!
There better be a Norelco Christmas commercial in here!
Or BRUT... by Faberge
I was born in 1977 and the 80s was a wonderful decade to be a part of. These commercials sure being back alot of good memories.😊

That is my main country singer after Garth Brooks.
@@Ed20942 yes, that was him in that Dole orange juice commercial
I LOVE the Clorox bleach commercials that shows people taking big whiffs of bleach straight from the bottle! XD
when i was a kid my dad had a dusty old water bottle in the garage with what looked like water in it. i was curious and opened it stuck my nose up to it and sniffed. was almost knocked unconscious. i had a controlled collapse to the ground so i didnt spill it. i never actually lost consciousness but it was close. and my lungs burned for a day or two. turns out it was hydrochloric acid used for the pool and it had set there a long time creating a heavy concentrated gas that just sat instead of escaping. been very careful sniffing bottles since.
and those people grew to become policy makers :)
🤣😂🤣
They are high on coke that is why there huffing bleach. That's the real 80s. Crack, coke, and meth.
🤣😭🤣😭😭😭😭
We all bought the whole fat and cholesterol was bad crap back then....and helped type 2 diabetes become an epidemic. Still would take this era over 2021-2022
Some people in the medical field are still telling people to eat low fat foods (foods that have sugar added to replace flavor that removing fat caused).
@@benadams3569 people still believe calories can be eaten. If anyone looks up how calories are determined (by putting whatever food into a machine and using fire to burn it), and understanding that humans don't create fire in their stomachs...maybe they'd realize calories are a nothing thing. Carbs on the other hand, that's where the attention should be.
Exactly. And most people still believe this because their docs tell them and they don't research, prefer the 30 secs commercials as source of info, lol
The government food pyramid was a sure ticket to bad health. Gotta sell those pills.
@@benadams3569 Yep, because that kind of "advice" keeps the "customers" coming back.
Man what a great decade boy did we ever take the 80s for granted lol
Such a more peaceful prosperous and happier decade for sure
Right? I'd love a time machine, even if it wasn't a DeLorean. Although the DeLorean model would be awesome, as long as the flux capacitor is intact.
@@Augustbeauty69 yeah that would be awesome go back to a more prosperous time when rollerskating bowling hanging out at the mall going to the arcade staying outside and playing and or talking on the phone was how you socialized and entertained yourself without all of the modern day distractions
Granted some of the things we have today are nice and very convenient but it seems like it’s made things worse in some ways just my opinion
@@christianpatriot7196 it’s made things much worse. You’re expected to be accessible 24/7 - no separation of home and work and social life… would give anything to live in this era
@@pippin3168 if there were any way to go back I truly would and just stay there but I do remember my childhood being great for sure
Yes "peaceful" and "prosperous". Except the threat of nuclear war with Russia, the sales of arms to Nicaragua, the onset of HIV, the rise of YUPPIE-ism and the "greed is good" ideal, the lack of equality in the workplace, rampant sexual harassment, the exponential increase in child abuse, the "war on drugs" which lead to a significant uptick in street drugs and overdoses, oh and the introduction of mega-church TV evangelist scammers. But hey, the music was great!
I was born in 1983, these commercials are giving me both comfort and sadness. Bittersweet nostalgia 😢
Me too!!!
🙋🏾♀️
Same here!
How is it that I feel soooo nostalgic for a time I wasn't even alive? I wish we were back in that time now. So much simpler.
I was just a kid then but they were awesome times. 90s were good too.
Oh how I miss the 80's.
Sigh.
We all do.

Feminism forbids it now
Disobey femanists whenever you get the chance. West will win. ✝️🇺🇲⚡
There was a sense of humor in these commercials that is missing today.
I find this comforting for some reason like everything is going to be okay
1989 .......18 years old and not a worry in the world. Family still around and friends. Most no longer here. Nothing looks or sounds the same anymore. Wish we could go back.......
These ads take me way back to a wonderful carefree time. 😢❤️
When you were "young" lol..young people today will say the samething in 20 years from now.. same shit
@@franki3Ru550 don't bet on it. Some young people remember horrible times from when they were young.
@@franki3Ru550 No they wont. Quality will always be quality. Trash will always be trash.
Ah, 1989... I only made $10 an hour at my job... but rent for my studio apartment was just $400 a month, coming in at one quarter of gross income, which was more or less standard at the time. How things change.
This commercials are tones better than todays. Lol.
Just wanted to say thank you for these commercials that brought back so many sweet memories for me. I know they are commercials but they reminded me of a very good, sweet time in my life , especially, these days 💕
Good Lord I remember each and every one of these commercials. This has brought me to such a wonderful and comforting place right now. I had such a bad day today and this helped soooooo much ❤️
I must not of paid too much attention to commercials because I only remember some of them.
Every once in a while, I take a stroll down these memory lanes so I don't forget what they've taken from us.
The 80's were the best time in history!
Yes, the 80's was pretty much the "peak" of America's quality of life.
If you were white, middle class, herteroxeual? Sure. It's weird that becuase you have unlocked a good memory by watching an organge juice commercial you will ignore what others have gone through.
@Kristen Clark I'm a minority, I don't need some woke white liberal to protect me and the 80s were awesome.

Ahhh the days when you had to be good looking to be on tv. Miss those days.
Dear god, I remember ALL of these! Damn, those were fun times and I miss them. I particularly loved the shampoo and conditioner commercials that used to play. Break, Faberge, Vidal Sassoon, Flex …. I loved and tried them all.
I miss the Agree shampoo brand.
If given the option .. IM GOING BACK!
I love the One Life to Live promo.
ABC made a big mistake by taking All My Children and One Life to Live off the air.
Brings back good memories.....I was 10 and my mom was still alive. My biggest worry was school and beating Nintendo games. The perfect heaven to me is getting to relive childhood with my parents young and in their prime.
In 89 I was 10 and my mom was still alive who pass Jan of 97 senior year of high school for me...memories yes indeed
Sears was a great place to get family pictures taken.
J.C. Penney was good also.
Okay! You really got me with the All My Children opening! It was a very special memory I shared with my Mom. She is gone but that was always something we could talk about. Catching up on the soaps ❤❤❤❤❤
I feel drowned in so many waves of nostalgia even though my birth was in the mid 80's ... a lot of these repeated into the early 1990's ...
I was born in ‘92 but I’m such a fan of these old commercials. It comes with my upbringing I think - my parents watched stuff like this all the time
"government appoointed experts' say it's safe. LOL...That just made me laugh.
The double-innuendo of the Renuzit Roommate commercial is really over the top.
It's fun seeing products from my youth that aren't around anymore. Plus these commercials take me back to my youth when life was so much easier!
Thank you for this. The 80's were truly something else.
Wow, I never realized how many sexual innuendos were in these 🤣
Rolling the Nytol sleeping tablets over so the Ns turned into Zs was one of the most gigabrain commercial moves of the 80s.
As a kid in the 80s I had an interest in commercials but preferred commercials to go by fast so that my cartoons and other shows can come back on. Now in 2022, I would give up any TV shows that are on TV to see these commercials on TV again. The 80s were great. Commercials and TV shows felt like they had more to them and families were all together in one room watching TV together.
I sure miss the Renuzit Roommate. It really did smell great.
The 80s was the greatest decade ever. The last decade without the burden of cynicism.
I loved the 80s but would even take the 90s over this current garbage.
The 80's were great...but they came at a massive cost which we're paying now. It was a "passing the buck" decade of indulgence with no thought of consequences.
@@jdb101585 This. This. This. More of this. You are absolutely right. I thought I was the only one who could connect the dots. We are paying for this now. Of course most watching this have warm fuzzy memories becuase they were kids/teens. Life was easier just because of that. The decade itself had a lot of warts.
It was the last decade before political correctness took hold.
@@huwhitecavebeast1972 No, it's when politeness got re-labeled "political correctness" so people could justify being assh*les.

As you were about to close your teen years, I just began mine that year. My only child is going to be 19. Not ready for this.....
@@holyexperience1976 the 80's were my complete teens. I have had four children from 1991 to 2000. You will survive, it's wonderful, sad and freeing. You will always be your kids rock. Continue being awesome, and your child will remember what you imparted. It's a new chapter for all of you. Peace.

That is an amazing idea ❤
I was 15 years old in 1989, this was great to watch, definitely nostalgic. Stuff like this is why I like RUclips, it really is like a time machine.
I was 11
I was 8, but I'm trying to find four 80's/90's ads in particular - one for Diet Coke, one for Nescafe, one for Channel 10 and one for Kmart (Australian).
I'm autistic and my obsession with music extends to ads.
Anyone else call the toll free numbers to see if they still offer free goods? 😂😂
I love the war between the "new" fat-free butter product and the butter commercial sponsored by the dairy association 😂
These commercials remind me of staying home from school and watching daytime TV. It was so grownup compared to the stuff that came on after 3 in the afternoon!
I came over from England in 1985 on a one way TWA ticket and $1500 life savings in my pocket. These commercials were like dreams back then. I looked at it as all things are possible, just do it! 37 years later with kids, a paid off home and a bautiful and brillient wife, I'm living the dream son, living the dream!

Looking elderly even in ‘89 even though he was 50
"The man makes a pretty strong bird..."
50 was still kinda "old" in 1989 lol
This comment 😂😂
50 gets younger the closer I get 😂
For me personally….1989 (age 9 for me) was the start of the best stretch of years of my childhood (and possibly of my life) that lasted until 1994. In fall 1994 I started high school, and I hated high school lol.
But during those years of 1989-1994 life was just so carefree and awesome. No real responsibilities, no financial worries, no heartache or BS from relationships, no regrets. Just happy fun times. If only I could just turn the clock back and be that 9 year old boy again and relive those years…..
I was also 9 in 89!! We had the best childhood!
same here, was 9 in 89 and those were the best days of our lives...ugh now i wake up groggy ol lady in her 40's just turned 42 on sunday and realized where the heck did my life go? lol
The fact that these were all recorded on VHS makes me feel even older for some reason.
Takes me back to my teen years, warms my heart.
13 in 89 and not a care in the world ( well except for the ones that were important when you're in your room early teens that turned out to be nothing)
Love these commercials. Would rather watch this than any movie today
Can I go back to the 80s please 😢 I was born in 79’ I remember almost all
Of these
If you find a way, take me with you!
Oh wow. I totally remember the Olgilvie commercial. I forgot about it. Awesome.
Been smiling the entire time. Love the 80s commercials. It was the decade of jingles. They all stood the test of time.
The nostalgia is real! Man I miss the cheesy comfort of commercials in the 80’s & 90’s.
people are very beautiful - women, men...well dressed, everything is so charming, like another planet
Love how these commercials told a story and equated a lifestyle with their brands. Very symbolic of the minds of the people of that time.
I was born in 99 and these commercials still give me a warm feeling…times seemed so much simpler.
You can clearly see the difference in style of the 80s compared to present day. I guess that’s what makes these commercials so “fun” to watch!
Hated sitting through these same commercials back then. Now here I am watching all of them in a 50min video trying to go back to that same time.
So many gems in here. The ridiculous diet products, Spencer Hasting's mom, the inhaling of bleach.
things you need in the 80s:
- heavily processed foods to get fat
- diet pills to lose weight
I was born in 1993, but I'm fascinated by these commercials. They're so creative! I find commercials now to be annoying and stupid. I've noticed it's becoming a recurring theme where a commercial will try to make something humorous out of a situation that's not funny. Like they'll have a commercial where kids are acting like brats. They'll be doodling on the wall with crayons, or making a mess in the house, and that's supposed to be funny. I'm glad these vintage commercials are on RUclips. Honestly, I love older TV shows, movies, and music. I think I'm so drawn to older media because the time period that I'm living in is toxic. People take everything too seriously nowadays.
Btw, they brought a James Bond movie on regular TV on a Sunday night??? Wow! They don't bring anything good on TV anymore!! It's become unwatchable.
23 yrs old at the time. Good times I still remember those commercials
I was a tv baby in the 80s and 90s and it was such a magical time, even the commercials were awesome.
I miss tv this way. It brings back my feelings from childhood. Before finding this I actually was longing to watch one of those old hamburger helper commercials. Everything is too sarcastic now, in both commercials, movies, and TV. Sarcasm has its place, but now it's dominating everything. I just want wholesome and cheesy again. We don't have to make fun of everything all the time.
These commercials were memorable because they were real. Real people, real product staging, food, indoor/outdoor scenes, etc. Just look at the Dole ones with Kenny Rodgers where they’re slicing real tropical fruit in the commercial! Yeah it’s still advertising but a lot of work went into that 15 second ad. It makes you feel something-a lot more than commercials today that are so soulless, loud, and fake
Man you clowns read so much into everything. The real reason you like these commercials is because it takes you back to a time before you failed at everything you ever tried. Your life had hope, now not so much lol.
God I wish we could go back to the 80’s!!
Be patient I'm working on a time machine.
If only we could go back and slap every person that said "fat in food makes you fat" and tell them "no, sugar and carbs do", America would be a very different place today.
Would it be? As if the “trends” of diet culture today are “better”? It’s ALL marketing…
@@jessicajulinwhite189 Yeah, it's marketing. After the FDA told everyone that fat in food was unhealthy and made you fat, then created that stupid food pyramid, people stopped buying fatty food. So producers took it out and put in suger. So yeah, it's marketing.. and government screwing things up like they always do.
The calories in sugar and carbs makes you fat.
@@spanky9676 Pretty sure it's the insulin resistance from an abundance of sugar. Which is what carbs break down into as well.
@@jessicajulinwhite189 exactly dirt trends and ideas these days are just as silly. Besides it’s really not about diet it’s about eating way too much and not moving around enough. Go look at high school kids these days, many are overweight and that’s a shame
Commercials in those days were really personal, straight to the point
Kudos to the products that are still around! I would like to know where the 4 minute microwave cake went..really need one right now 🍰😜
