RIP K-Mart (6:25). Incidentally, my parents still have that little horse figure and put it up every Christmas. Man, Christmas in the 80s seemed magical.
That Pantene commercial is iconic...”don’t hate me bc I’m beautiful”😂 My fave tho is Andie McDowell “You know what’s real tacky? When your makeup looks like someone baked a cake on your face and you feel like a jerk” 😂 Oddly i remember these commercials yet can’t remember last Tuesday...well played Madison Avenue 👍🏻😂
There was joy in every level of society. Reflected in the commercials, the sitcom theme songs, everything about daily mundane living was tinged with joy, happiness, contentment, optimism. Now everything is filled with misery, anger, satanism, hatred, pharmaceutical half hour long ads. Or if you find an ad that uses music, they pull out a throwback song from the 80s. Now...next point coming...
There was a Chinese Emperor, I don't know what dynasty but it was ancient, that would monitor the wellbeing of his many provinces BY THE WAY THAT THE MUSIC THEY PRODUCED SOUNDED. If his emissaries went to a region and the music was melodic, harmonious, rich, peaceful, or joyous, the emperor knew the people were doing well overall. If the music was cacophonous, dissonant, melancholy, angry, and just no beauty in it, the emperor put his focus on finding out what was wrong in that region, and then sending his people and resources to fix it. Pretty interesting
Back when advertising actually made sense. Today, I have no idea what most commercials are trying to sell. I also miss announcers with adult voices instead of the squeaky preteen types that dominate now...
Circus of the Stars! I used to love that show. Also, that kid at the beginning was Ernie Reyes Jr. , star of the TV movie The Last Electric Knight and the short-lived show that spun-off from it, Sidekicks. He was also one of the suit actors in the original TMNT movie.
Yah today the sensible order of that would be I may play one on TV, but i'm not a doctor, so please when you are so and so talk to your doctor about etc
The 2000's introduction of Black Friday shopping with the people fighting over everything from TV's to toys didn't help. Especially with cellphones recoding those special _"Kodak Moments."_
@@maxmulsanne7054 My ex was going to 5 am Black Friday sales in 1985 that I remember and I don’t know how long before that with her family. The violence of that day did start in the 2000’s though.
10:52 I remember seeing this commercial as a kid! They would replay it each year (since it was so popular) .😃 It's so much better than the awful remake!😂
I was 10yrs old in 1986..I miss the 80's.. Saturday morning cartoons, Atari games, riding my Mongoose bike. Good times back then, Thanks Dave For all that you do.
@@DavesArchives lol I know. Those coffee commercials, as well as the coffee itself, are almost like a drug. Now I want some Folger's coffee - even if it's instant. 😋
And to think I used to change the channel just to avoid commercials and here I am, watching them for twenty minutes straight and enjoying it. Goes to show just how absurd life truly is.
My old boss at 6:42, Bill Kurtis! He owned the radio station in worked at and would come around once a month to to check up on the station and employees. I was the sportscaster at the station and he would always have some tidbit of advice for me when he came to town. The best piece of advice was “only call the touchdowns”. Essentially, we never know before the play whether it would be a big play or not. So treat every play as if it’s going to be the big play and you’ll always be ready when it happens. It just good life advice.
I had a good time in 1986! I watched a lot of TV back then! A lot of these commercials I don't remember, not sure why? I enjoyed the video! Thanks Dave
11:53 the legendary Joe Sirola on the voice-over for Sure. Most of the Sure commercials during this time featured Jake Holmes singing the famous "Raise your hand if you're sure" jingle, but this spot changed it up a bit with a different jingle.
I hate the way the parents are smelling the coffee before they even wake up I'd like to throw the coffee in their face 🤣, still a good commercial though
8:47 That is an OUTSTANDING catch! I listened to the commercial three times with headphones on, and that is definitely Blossom Dearie. I knew she sang on some "Schoolhouse Rock" stuff but I never knew she sang on any commercials. Again, well done!
Thank you Dave, so many items in the adds brought back odd feelings, I remember them all, just some were really odd. First time I heard "it has wings" ok, must fly, not so much:( Great job as always my friend.
I just feel bad for the tigers, people had no real idea of what they were put through nor that their conditions having them so on edge, they were ticking time bombs likely to go off and maul a performer during a show
A day when people weren't overly sensitive and offended. Furthermore, where hard work was encouraged and rewarded. Now, it's how bad capitalism is and lawlessness is encouraged.

It's aggressively manipulative but at least they were funny. Today's ads are still manipulative but they're sleazy
I love how there were so many jingles. There’s a lack of jingles in modern advertising.
Wow.

Glad you enjoy it!
@@DavesArchives me too.
Amen💜
Looking back now .. 86 would a been a good time for the world to end.. Hindsight is always 20/20
No 89.
Not.

He also played Manito in The Rundown with Dwayne Johnson and Seann William Scott. He's an excellent martial artist.
Also keno in tmnt 2 secret of the ooze
Yes.
That Vidal Sassoon ad was wild!
13:40 Ha! The classic "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV." Can't believe they were serious with that! 😁
Yah today the sensible order of that would be I may play one on TV, but i'm not a doctor, so please when you are so and so talk to your doctor about etc
Yes.
The Vidal Sassoon commercial might be the most 80s thing that I’ve ever seen and I’m not mad about it.
Cool 😎.
It’s not Butter and Bruce, it’s Butter and Kaitlyn!
Holidays and celebrations were more special back then.
Yes, so much so!
People probably had more money to spend back in the 80's.

No idea.

thank you and you're welcome, Kenny!
@@DavesArchives wow.
1:18 - I feel like the song they made for that commercial was inspired by Falco's "Rock Me Amadeus"
_"I'm not a Doctor, but I play one on TV."_ What a pitch! :)
This takes me back, I was 20 in 86 newly married ,such great memories. 😊 (always loved the sappy folgers commercial)😁
Holly Caffeinated Nerd Girl / that means that you are the older part of Generation X. You were born in 1966
@@poolkennedy7611 almost...the very tail end of 1965. :)
I love Folgers ads too. Those perfect golden hour shots, steaming hot coffee and that jingle. Always relaxes me and puts me in a good place.
@@DavesArchives

butter & Bruce lol
Kaitlyn 🥴🤣
Oh.
The 80s when every commercial has a jingle lol
Commercial jingles were fairly common on TV beginning in the 1950s, but they started dying out towards the start of the 1990s.
Nice.

Definitely remember the "Jump For My Love" Bounce commercials!! Jeez, probably haven't thought of that in 35 years...
Love all your 80s nostalgia videos.
Thx, LG!
@@DavesArchives yes.
"WATCH Kraft."
"OBEY Aspirin"
"SUBSCRIBE" Thirst Quencher."
Too funny! XD
Mannn.. That Formula 44D was some Strong sht, bro
Yes.
The little boy in the circus clip looks like the little boy from The Last Dragon who grew up to be Keno from TMNT. probably isn't him tho.
Guess what...did some digging and it IS him!!!
If I'm not mistaken that was in fact Ernie Reyes Jr. Used to see him and his dad around the martial arts tournament circuit back in the day.
Yeah that was him huh
@@bustakitayancey7261 did you do you digging in the backyard what else is down there
He was also in an 80s tv show called sidekick's. He was around the age he is now in the video. Very good martial artist!!!!
That Folgers Christmas commercial always brings back memories
4:51 not shown: Chris Farley going absolutely ape-shit on everyone in the vicinity after finding out they tricked him with Folgers Coffee crystals.
CIRCUS OF THE STARS ON CBS

With Ernie Reyes👍
Yes.
8:47 Here is a super fun one! The great Blossom Dearie sings for Crisco. Hat tip to RUclipsr Hope Grimsley for this excellent ID!
Michael Bolton sang on so many commercial jingles! I've only caught that lately watching your videos!
7:48 Don't know her name, but she later starred in Newsradio.
Vicki Lewis.

Kelly LeBrock in the pantine ad.
5:00 reminds me of the SNL skit with Chris Farley hahaha
Very Good : Decade for 80 is Magic
Loved it
Indeed.
I love the intro music. It sounds so 80s😃
Born 69, miss both decades.👍
It sounds like Blossom Dearie is singing in the Crisco oil ad.
8:47 That is an OUTSTANDING catch! I listened to the commercial three times with headphones on, and that is definitely Blossom Dearie. I knew she sang on some "Schoolhouse Rock" stuff but I never knew she sang on any commercials. Again, well done!
The Martial Arts kid at the first went on to play a Ninja Turtle in the first TMNT movie.
Oh my God, it’s Bill Kurtis! (Cold Case announcer)
He is.
I was 8 yrs old
Jennifer Hunter I was also 8 years old the year these commercials aired.Fun times.
Good.
The Tide commercial early in the video features a younger Andrea Thompson who later played the part of commercial telepath Talia Winters in Babylon 5!
Wonder how much were The Pointer Sisters paid in royalties for the Bounce commercial...
$0.00. They didn't write it.
Okay.
Why is a grown woman drinking grape juice out of a sippy cup?
...why
aren't... you?
Nice.
Mmm synthesizer based drum samples
They did a lot of interviews for commercials in the late 80s.
Staged ones
Yes.
Your collage-like thumbnails make these videos more attractive!
Thank you!
@@DavesArchives you too.
I wonder then and I wonder why during the Ivory soap commercial with Gary Carter they had to break the bar of soap in half 🤷♀️
Unless you were trying to stretch it by using only one of those halves,
YOU DID NOT DO THAT WITH SOAP!!!
Yes.
Thank you Dave, so many items in the adds brought back odd feelings, I remember them all, just some were really odd. First time I heard "it has wings" ok, must fly, not so much:( Great job as always my friend.
Hey, Brian! Thx man!

I fckn hate circuses. So corrupt. These commercials always make me feel like I’m hallucinating, which I love

Oh look it's Bruce Jenner in the Pringles commercial!!!! Lmmfao 😂😂😂!!!!
Ahh nice shout out to my buddy retro daze :) great vid
6:40 40 years of voodoo economics.
This Christmas Folgers is my favorite
You have the same intro clip as Basketball Time Machine and I love it.
1986 was the year that brought us ALF, the Sega Master System, and the Dennis the Menace cartoon.
Those Dennis The Menace cartoons were the best! That saxophone theme song. And Phil Hartman.
Yes.
2:12 hahahaha. Hahaha
9:47
I dont think that was the best way to word that..
LOL!!!!!!!
@Finna Sprang I mean, some do date their kids (which is gross)
Idk What is stupid about this comment
@Finna Sprang you're wrong. Most of the child sexual abuse starts at home. My ex got raped by her dad as young as 4, till she was 14.
Okay.
Is that Billy Preston singing the Coast soap jingle?
Bruce Jenner was eating Pringle’s and now he doesn’t exist

...was that kid in the circus Ernie Reyes Jr.?
Yup, sure was! It's a snippet from the 1986 TV special Circus of the Stars.
Yup
@@DavesArchives of course he is dave.
