- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- These commercials aired during the 1984 Olympics on ABC on August 12th, 1984. These are from a 24 year old beta tape that my Aunt and Uncle recorded, so the quality isn't the best.
1. Atari 5200 (That guy looks so disappointed when he's called out)
2. TV Spot for "Dreamscape" ("Quaid, Start the Reactor!")
3. Nissan 300ZX
4. Promo for "Webster" (How sad...)
5. Swanson Ford (Looking at these car prices is even sadder)
6. Gerard Tires
7. Promo for "Taxi"
8. McDonald's
9. Levi's Cords (There's nothing in this ad that doesn't scream 1984)
10. Northwestern Mutual Life (That makes it TWO ads in this volume with random middle aged businessmen discussing where to buy things)
11. Promo for CFA College Football
12. Pacific Bell
13. Pennzoil
14. KNTV Bumper
15. Olympics Commercial Bumpers for Nissan, Miller Lite and Levi's
16. Champion (I thought they only made socks)
17. Uniroyal Tires at K Mart (Featuring the voice of Ernie Anderson)
18. Promo for "Good Morning America" (With Joan Lunden)
19. Crispix ("Hogwash!")
20. Lipton Iced Tea Mix with NutraSweet
21. Coke (I refuse to believe soda cans were the same volume back then. Look how monstrous that thing is!)
thanks for the walk down memory lane, seems like commericals were so much more creative back then
I was born in 85. I don't have much memory from those first five years, but still, while watching these commercials, I can't help but feel nostalgic.
Webster might had been a comedy but the ads for the series were such tearjerkers
Laura Schank i know that’s sad poor kid
thank you a lot for putting up these commericals i love the 80s even if i was born the last day of the 80s
Awesome. So much of this is a trip to watch, like "Heisman candidate Doug Flutie and Boston College..." at 4.45, now retired from the NFL.
OMG That's Yasmine Bleeth in the Atari 5200 commercial.
I was born in 82.... I remember some of these!!! Crazy!
Dang. Even I didn't realize how much a Quarter Pounder has shrunk until I watched this, and I grew up in the 80s.
Great job as always. Some of these commercials look older than 24 years old due the beta but that's what I like about it.
1:55--I remember the Big 3 networks all had catchy marketing jingles/slogans back then--"We're with you on ABC with you," "N-B-See Us,", and "We've Got the Touch" (CBS).
8:29--"Because we're from Iowa, son!" So am I; I love this commercial, and I love Crispix cereal, but I hate the fact that around here I can usually only find it in those tall "family size" boxes that fit on the store shelves but not in my cupboards. Please, Kellogg's; could you make the boxes shorter and fatter? Then I'd buy your cereals more.
9:00--I remember very well when Chris Evert Lloyd was a spokesperson for Lipton tea. I think she even played doubles with herself in one of the spots.
9:30--"Coke is it" is one of many great jingles--and in this case, one of the more famous--used by Coca-Cola over the years.
Damn that Webster commercial is depressing.
We still have our beta max machine it still works, and I watched all the beta max tapes watch them like welcome back kotter, happy days etc
It seems as though every few commercial breaks during these Olympics there was at least one McDonald's or Coke commercial. I'm not complaining!
McDonald's and Coke must have been major sponsors of ABC's Olympics coverage that year.
Love it! I was 10 when these aired. It's great how these take me back to that time and brings back a flood of awesome memories!
You just barely made it into the awesome club. Your jacket and membership card should arrive shortly.
Man, I wish Quarter Pounders still looked that appealing.
I remember the Atari 5200. It was Atari's attempt to compete with ColecoVision and its superior arcade-style graphics. It was all for nothing, though, because by 1985 both consoles were discontinued.
The 5200 was specifically designed to compete with the Intellivision by Mattel. The 5200 and Colecovision were released only a few months apart.
@@80sCommercialVault Really? Intellivison was mediocre compared to ColecoVision.
I wasn't comparing those two consoles at all. Merely stating the fact that the 5200 was in development before the Colecovision was a known quantity. It was developed to compete with the Intellivision, which had come out in 1979 and was technically more advanced than the 2600 and played this up in its advertising campaign.
@@80sCommercialVault I see. I remembered the ColecoVision coming out first as a kid. I didn't know exactly when the Atari 5200 came out, only that it was after I'd already seen the ColecoVision, which was also compatible with 2600 games.
The announcer is actually saying "39.98" so the screen is correct.
Once again. I remember all of these!!! Thanks
Ah, ya' just can't beat that great cheese factor of the 80's commercials...just LOVE it!! lol
I like the McDonald's commercial, I get a craving for them sometimes too
its amazing how prices have changed over the years. my grandmother still jokes about how she paid more for her first new car in 1985 (a Ford Crown Victoria station wagon. 5.0l v8 and wood grain sides) then she paid for her house in 1965. the only other new car she ever bought after that was her 92 Ford Mustang convertible. the house is now worth alot more then any current new Ford, the station wagon isn't.
Dreamscape!!!!!!! Where Christopher Nolan got his idea for Inception. Both movies rule in the most gnarleiest of ways!!!
Everything was better back then
@TreyColwell It was introduced on July 1st, 1984. "Dreamscape" was among one of the first films to receive the new rating.
Man that 300ZX still looks soo sweet! Bet that cost a pretty penny in the 80's.
Check out the Gerard tire ad. Check 2:53. The announcer says "89.98" but the screen shows 39.98.
I didn't know Atari 5200 came in green?! I want one!
Looking at the movie poster on Netflix for Dreamscape almost looks like Indiana Jones. Interesting
I wonder when McDonald's stopped serving meat in there hamburgers. They look good in 1984
I just saw Dreamscape for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It wasn't too bad.
Gotta laugh at that Lipton commercial.
Totally awesome!!
Nope. They're two different brands. Crispix is still around.
Dreamscape looked like Inception '84 (or Inception is Dreamscape '10).
I believe 1984 was the first season that the networks and conferences, rather than the NCAA, was in charge of selecting what games would be shown each week. That's why I can now see my beloved Missouri Tigers (who, sadly, lost that game to Notre Dame 16-14) play nearly every week instead of just once or twice a season.
That Webster ad has to be the most depressing promo for a family sitcom ever.
Vending machines were gigantic back then!
Holy 5200!
Is the girl with the long hair in the Atari commercial Yasmine Bleeth? It really looks like her.
wow, maybe it is! if so, that woman has had a hell of a lot of surgery. She doesn't even have a passing remblance to that face anymore.
Wow, I never ever thought of cords as a sexy nocturnal style *rofl*
Time warp! My first summer in California was July 30th-August 14th. I remember it
well.
Nissan (Datsun, sorry!) 300Z was hot back then, everyone had one or wanted one , including my brother, 1984 2+2 ...
This must have been about the time when Datsun was officially rebranding as Nissan.
OMG the Ford prices..... what i paid for my Raptor.... while worth it... wow....
Champion Paper and Champion Sportswear are two different companies. Champion Paper is now a European company as I have a stationary kit from France. It says they stopped production here in 2001. Champion Sportswear makes more than just sock, too. lol
@americanhellcatf6, that's so true. When you watch 80sCommercialVault's uploads, it really is striking just how flat-out beautiful even "lowly" commercials used to be before the 2000's came along. Now everything is shot digitally and it the world just feels cheap and ugly, especially bad since we are now inundated with more media than any other period in history. Commercials now look so cheap and amateurish; I can't help wonder if cinematographers are actually proud of their work anymore.
Dig Dug!
Cool, my parents were born in the late 70's and they remember watching these ads and the olympics. I thought the Atari came out in 1982. Who is Chris Evert?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Evert
The girl in the Atari commercial is Yasmine Bleeth.
@MattTheSaiyan That's Joan Lunden. She has been the onlyTV journalist in history that I admired. She had a good technique and GMA was at it's peak over those years(hasn't been since!) Hum...I do remember Crispix and wonder if it's still on the market. It's like corn chex only made out of wheat.
I still have my Atari 5200. Great games. Bad controllers
I never had a 5200. I still have my family's old 2600, but I haven't figured out how to connect it to a modern TV set. I actually commented on a previous volume that I was kind of surprised the 5200 was a relative failure. The reply I received was that the system's poorly designed controllers were its downfall.
you must of have some memory of it, i was born in 81 and when i was 5 in June of 86 there is video camera footage of me in July of 86 and i remember that a'lot,confused.com
Perhaps I'll add more to appease the parenthetical comment Gods.
Yasmine Bleeth at 0:06
I wonder how the Sooners did?
For a second I thought it said "Coke is sh*t". :P
No, I really don't think it is. Freezeframe her face.
I always found it odd that a superstar like Michael Jackson wanted to spend time with Emmanuel Lewis than Brooke Shields. His brain was already fried up with drugs!
Love the Coke shout out to the Downton (London) Clevelanders means home team in Ultimate Supreme Football or Peggy (Sydney) Packers same colors as Milwaukey Sents currently faked as Pakers of the Green Bay.
Isn't Webster older than his foster parents?
Yea my VHS has better quality
I'm almost 15 and I think the older commercials were better they were good and had hummer in some of them these commercials today are just a bunch of shit and are uninteresting!
