    That yopliat commercial is hilarious. What I love about 80s commercials are the original songs they create for their respective products. Someone actually wrote the songs and then recorded it in a studio.

      That’s not a jingle, that’s a famous German torch song. “Falling In Love Again”-made famous by Marlene Dietrich. It was her signature number!
      Also, I think the narrator is Kate Mulgrew. Am I the only one hearing that?

    So many gems in every upload! The Pepsi commercial with the alien was almost gone from my memory until seeing it now. That was a good one.

    Romancing the Stone was a fun movie that was the first big hit for Robert Zemeckis who would go on to make Back to the Future the following year. The movie was written by a waitress who wanted to break into movies. Sadly, she died in an accident not long after the movie came out, so she never got to enjoy her success.

      The show had a primarily Hispanic cast and was told from their perspective. The show actually explored the issues of stereotypical humor, the main character was a comedian berated by his family to stop stereotyping them in his act: ruclips.net/video/59WOss8fXIo/видео.html

      She started out doing commercials in the Chicago area and seems to have had some sort of business relationship or contract with this particular store. I posted an ad for them that also featured her previously in Vol. 353: ruclips.net/video/72cBWIDiLls/видео.htmlm46s which seemed to have been made several years before Cheers.

As a kid, adults used to tell me not to blink because before I knew it I’d be older wishing for my childhood to be back. I didn’t believe them when they’d say it, but they were so right.
