And lose the tech you know exists today, like phones that allows your parents to keep in touch while you're far away, RUclips to watch the news and stay informed, and a time where transparency in work didn't exist and people stayed in bad situations, not knowing there was any alternative, ok But I will stay
I don’t need a time machine. I just need a thing to plug into my brain Matrix-style so I can experience the idealized version of the 80s. I only want to experience the art, media, and ambience, not all the actual problems that existed back then.
The WCIX call sign now resides on a Nexstar Media Group Station in Springfield/Decatur/Jacksonville, Illinois and is WCIA's sister station West of the Indiana State Line. This station is now CBS owned Miami-Fort Lauderdale station WFOR-TV, after the call sign change from WCIX on September 10, 1995, and the WCIX sign-off to end its broadcast day has "This Is My Country" played. Thanks Dave!
brilliant way to end this set of ads from 1987. reminded me of the long summers of my youth when i would stay up till 2 a.m. watching TV & despaired when the local stations signed off. particularly liked the grain of some of these ads which increased their beauty. & i remember when Rolling Stone magazine turned 20 & i thought, dang!, that pub is old! another excellent set of classic commercials from a particular year of my youth. thank you, Dave!
4:12 - 4:38 You could just feel the enthusiasm in the reading of those lines. Truly riveting. I'm not even 35 and I badly need Hair Club for Men. That's depressing every time I think about it. Don't know why I get a kick out of local ads.
mid to late 80s also seen the rise of informercials. i remember watching my first infomercial in 86 or 87 for ant farms of all things. soon all late night TV featured some long form infomercial for wildly various products. i watched them cuz i'm a nite owl. but i am not proud of it!
@@poetrich Same here, as a kid in the 80's, and 90's I would stay up during the summer, and weekends when my parents did not have a strict set bedtime, as I had a TV in my room, and I would watch those late night infomercials sometimes for the stupidest products like hair, and face cream, or some all in one woke/grill that fit in a backpack, and I'm not proud of it either.
Unless you had a cable television setup in your room,the tv sign-off meant only one thing..GET YOUR BUTT IN BED!! @6:40 Cybill Sheperd looks like she was auditioning for a 1-976 commercial... @11:29 that Franco's pizza guy looks like he looked inside the Ark of the Covenant
gotta love the dorky earnestness of many of the ads; and given the decline of print, I shed a tear for rolling stone with Billy Joel! thanks dave, nostalgia for our dreams!
Want to see more? We've just begun posting up vintage commercials and skits and yes, skits featuring the Off-Duty Mime Players, link is in the description! Thanks Dave for doing this!
Love these! It beats the news. Funny how the yellow pages were still published in some form where I used to live and work but they had listings for places that closed in 1998!
Dave you are Doc Brown and your channel is the Delorean Thank you for are weekly trip back in time! To the Greatest decade of all the 80’s!!!!💯The Nineties a close second,another Classic episode!🙏📽📺📼💯😎🧈🧈🧈🧈🧈🧈🧈🧈
lol I was only a kid in the 80s I keep forgetting how bad hair styles was then videos like this brings the horror movie hair styles back, I love these video's
I absolutely am fascinated by sign offs, for many reasons, but mostly that they are no longer necessary and therefore people just ten years younger than I have likely never seen a sign off happen in real time. There is an amazing WQEX Pittsburgh sign off from the 90’s that is on You Tube that is ultra creative and entertaining. If DaveTV was a thing that was a live stream. That just showed commercials, sign offs, your livestream shows, and maybe some of the others in the genre like garbage pail flix, Andy’s junk, nostalgic channel surfing I would pay 4.99 a month for it, but only if it was called DaveTV.
I love the singoff on this one Dave, but I think I like the one a lot of NBC stations use to play with the F-14 Tomcat Jets, the Bald Eagle, and the American Flag better, and I do hope you find that one at some point.
@@deborahchesser7375 I still do wake at 6am, and I'm at work by 8am 5 days a week, and in the mid 00's for several years I use to work 2 jobs most weeks 7 days a week sometimes up at 4:30 am to be at work by 5:30am, and oftentimes my days wouldn't be done till after 11pm, with very little time off, and I find it so sad our country as a whole doesn't have the great work ethic it once did. 😔

Thank you, again.... so relaxin '" your content" is!😉 Hey big dawg, personally I lo💜e it when I see commercials From my childhood (but not just that, coz I believe we"s all feelin that here! agreeed?!) Not only that but from my local stations growing up! At the risk of dating myself... for an example or 2; boardwalk USA, big sur waterbeds , now that should be a give away of my ruff age and maybe to you and perhaps a small percentage of yo audience that should be sufficient e-nuff evidence of where I was born and raised! 🤘🏼😎
Every time I see your late 80s compilation I'm reminded of when I was much younger. Most likely in diapers 🤣. Thanks for allowing me to see Miami before I could even perceive it.
I miss those 80s pizza places they served all kinds of dishes pizza pasta salads sure you get pizza pasta salads at a lot of pizza places today but it's a limited selection due to inflation can we just rewind this whole entire decade😢
Love these!!! Someone needs to make a time machine so we can go back to the 80s and never return!!!
Okay 👌👍.

@@realDonald-trump screw technology and dumb cell phones lol I'll happily go back to before liberals became so insufferable

Nice to see the Thames Television logo.
And Happy Birthday Rolling Stone!!!

I lived in south Florida when these commercials aired and remember them vividly. Thanks.
Love the old commercials from South Florida 😂
David Singer was just drawing a line not even looking at the paper lol.

1987? Reminders of staying up late hoping Mad Movies was going to show that week ruclips.net/video/7VMhZFZGXfw/видео.html
Okay.
I used to love The Benny Hill Show as a kid

35 is still young and I think that you are going to look great. Can on you are just a young man who losing your hair.
Class of 85' here. I wanna go back
5:50 always the magazine and CD and record commercials late at night 💿
Don't forget the 1-900 adult party lines, and scam physic lines 😆

I love the signoff! I hope you can find more. Thanks for your hard work, Dave!
I wanna give the world a little pat of butter right now!
Wow was watching the rolling stone mag commerical an was thinking about how 66 to 86 was 20 years an 2000 to present has been 20 years 😳 crazyness
Nutrasweet! I remember when they rolled that out it was like Magna Carta holy grail! lol
Remember Vivarin, it was like a legal drug we use to take excessively in the late 80's while in high school. One of my regrets.

@@DavesArchives yes.
5:42- Wendell Craig, announcer.
He is too.
Proper way to end the weekend! Thanks Dave! ✌️📼🧈
Benny Hill FTW!!! One of the best comedians that has ever lived.
My mom wouldn't let me watch Benny hill because it way past my bedtime. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
I was born in the mid 80s and may not remember all of these commercials unless they showed reruns of some of them in the early 90s.
When television was awesome
Woo Hoo! Love the collaborative effort.
I can picture Tony Montana buying all this counter surveillanceFrom n&g
Larry Bird was the best in "Crunch" time!
He is.
Awesome video buddy
RUclips is the closest thing to a time machine
Indeed
I was born in 75 and lived mostly in Clearwater Florida and Bensonhurst Brooklyn during the 80's
I love the singoff on this one Dave, but I think I like the one a lot of NBC stations use to play with the F-14 Tomcat Jets, the Bald Eagle, and the American Flag better, and I do hope you find that one at some point.
Would definitely love to find more of them!
It was so Merica🇺🇸🌟🇺🇸🌟🇺🇸🌟
@@DavesArchives good 👍▶️🙂😊.
Back when people actually slept because they had to roll out at 5-6 am and get on it.
