What a great decade to be a kid. I miss the 80's. And the famous " We'll be right back after these messages ".
I loved those “We’ll be right back after these messages”, awesome memories.
Nice.
Hot wheels, He-man, garbage pail kid cards, nightmare on elm street movies, Nintendo, and going to the store with $2 and getting a snickers bar, a bag of chips, 30 penny candies, a jug of juice (grape), and a big pickle.....the 80's were Rad!!!!!!!!
You nailed it! Sigh...I wanna go back!
Yup, sounds about right😎
Wow.
I think the 80s and 90s was a golden age. It was the crescendo.
Shut up, tax thieve ain't red yet
The pinnacle of wealth and waste and capitalism while totally out of hand hadn’t reached the endgame where we are today now the rich have all the money AND global power.
@@russelledwards001 Capitalism is just free exchange and trade. Corporatism is the bribes the no bid contracts and the picking of winners and losers. The founding fathers called it mercantilism and it's nothing new
@@russelledwards001 nice try though
Milton Friedman with his 'Greed is Good' philosophy gave the green light to corporate America to stop giving a shit about its workers, & skyrocketing ceo pay
The irony is that back when we used VCRs to tape our favorite shows/movies, we'd cut the commercials out. Now, we're watching them, voluntarily, on RUclips!
It reminds me of Demolition Man singing all those old commercial songs.
Lol true
Yay!!
🤣
Idk about you I enjoyed 80s commercial more than crap we have on RUclips..
The wave of nostalgia is strong with this one. As someone who was there this nails it.
My thoughts exactly!!
Well of course it nails it, it was the exact commercials!
100%😍
True.
Absolutely. I'm a Toys R US kid.
It will never be the same
Never ☹️🥺😞😭 my kids like to hear about my childhood. They wished they were part of the 80s and 90s
@Jimmythy I but it should be.....forever
You ain't lying😭😭
Never.
I’ll be honest. Life was awesome during the 80s n 90s as a kid!!
Born in 1980 so I grew up with a lot of these commercials, and toys. Those were good times. Definitely not the same for kids today.
Stadium not included. The most unnecessary *not included ever.
Yeah, they didn't need to rub it in your face like that. Most of us weren't dummies.
they added that after the commercial ran for a few months because droves of people bought lazer tag believing that there was a mad max thunderdome arena somewhere near them to live out these commercials when in fact running around the basement in the dark was as fun as it got
I know, right. But someone had to be told is the funny part for me. You know some kid (or their parents) got all upset about that.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Myke Vision omgoodness that's the laugh of the day.
1986 -- I would've been 14 at the time and was heavy-duty into Transformers. My sisters were into Cabbage Patch Kids and Teddy Ruxpin. Some very awesome and innocent times for sure!
I was into all but GI Joe.
I liked he man
@@trentdawg2832 I still do.😊
Yes.
I was born in '89, so I grew up in the 90's. The '80's knew how to advertise.
The 80s, when Dickey D's strolled through, when jaw breakers was 10 cents for a 2 pack, when you could rent Saga the master system at the video store for 2 days, when I collected all the He-man, Thundercat, transformer figures, not to mention watching C.O.P.S the cartoons after school. Toys R us was the place to be at, got my first super soaker water back pack and gun attached. I remember being sent off to the store with a hand written note from my dad to buy smokes. Building ramps to ride my bike off of and putting playing cards in the spokes. Tobogganing with my GT racer(2 seater) was the bomb! I miss those early days who feels me?
My memory says this was one of the best years of my life. Everyone I loved was still alive, I was 11, I rode my bike all day/night and delivered newspapers, I watched cartoons and played with GI Joe, M.A.S.K. and Transformers, dinner with my family every night...life was good!
Ah yes! Going back to being 7 years old, man i miss those times just being a kid in the simpler 80's! I loved it
I am very thankful I was a kid in the 80's. Best decade ever!
It was just fun. No gloom and doom, like now. My heart breaks for kids now.
I miss the 80’s
It got me in the feels so much I almost teared up and I am a 43 year old man.
Laser Tag!!!! I wanted that so badly back then!!
In 86 I was 7. The nostalgia is palpable.
Same here, before July I was 6, after July I was 7... what a great time for toys and the shows inspired by them.
I was 5. And yet, I remember so many of these commercials.
I turned 7 in May of 1986. So many memorable commercials here.
Josh Weaver I’m right there also, always looking for a way to relive those great times. Best time of my life!
Slime, gross 😝 🤧 😤 💀 😐 😪.
Miss the 80s!!!
Simpler time's back then
I was born 1986 lol and I love a classic adverts
"Now You're PLAYING With POWER!"♥️
That Nintendo ad.
Best time to be a kid. EVER. Pro Wrestling, awesome cereals, cartoons...winning little league county championships. I could go on and on. I didn't have Lazer Tag, we got Photon.
Rated r movies with kid action figures. Aww the 80s
I was thinking the same thing.
Sure.
Very emotional seeing these.... life was so so different... urghhh... i miss those days 😪 thanks for posting these...
Most definitely!
@@DavesArchives okay.
1986, I was 10 years old. Wow, the memories. Now we understand when our parents spoke about Memorial Lane.
I was 10 also! I had that wrinkles dog and many cabbage patch kids but the teddy ruxpin always was creepy
I was ten too. My how time flies!
i was 10 as well
Pound puppies
I was 10 that year too. Fun times
Ahhhhh. Back in a time when life didn't suck. Thank you for this.
You're welcome, Kell!
@@DavesArchives you are.
"Parents easily assemble" Mom and Dad both just looked at each other.
I noticed toy commercials disappeared a long time ago, from tv anyway, you barely see anything like this advertised. Even toys r us is gone.
And it's not going to go back to how great things were either. Not when we have idiots arguing there's more than 2 genders, or wanting to destroy the nuclear family. We wouldn't want to make SJWs cry that's what really matters now. Putting crap politics everywhere it never belonged and especially in young children.
I'm lucky i got to enjoy the world when things were how they should be. Grew up thinking for myself, sports were about sports, people offended over dumb crap were laughed at then ignored.
The slime pit was the biggest regret my mom had as far as buying me toys.
lmao
lmao same here....got it for my bday that summer and whoever gave it to me also included one of those big buckets of slime none of the little plastic slime cup nonsense!.....that shit got everywhere and we had just gotten new carpeting,lucky for me it was my bday and i got a pass...by the next night the slime bucket mysteriously disappeared and my mother NEVER let me play with slime/goo/floam stuff again.The toy just sat up on the top shelf after that
Forget He-Man, carpet was the biggest foe for the slime pit.
It also stained some of my action figures. Childhood regrets.
I can still remember the the slime smell
Never put your Grizzlor in the Slime Pit.
wow this hit home for me! man I remember having a ton of those toys growing up! That classic NES ad though, my uncle had I think it was the set that included both duck hunt and gyromite?! used to go over there all the freakin time to play on it, been hooked ever since! Also shout-out to GI JOE another one of my favorite classic toy lines... thanks for the blast from the past!
Very cool, and you're welcome DarkT!
@@DavesArchives dave please.
9 years old at the time and I remember these commercials more vividly than anything I learned in school.
The 80's, when any R rated movie franchise could be turned into a successful toy line for kids.
That is soooo true
Deadpool toys say hi. ;)
Not only toys but Computer games as well
@@greenmetalbox1719 That's one dude, I mean freakin Aliens, Rambo, Terminator?
hey man we had Aliens Space Marine "Spec Ops" line of toys out of it so i'll take it ! : ]
I just found your channel and videos - BLESS YOUR SOUL FOR ETERNITY AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF HEAVEN! These commercials are just bliss to me. I had an awesome 80s childhood and TV was a good part of it. I had a smile on my face from 0:01 to 13:22! Thank you!!
Thank you, and you're welcome! :)
@@DavesArchives you are.
The toy commercials were everything in 87. I was 13 in 87, brings back so many memories, thank you
I remember how excited I was to see the word "special" spiral around in different colors, it always meant something cool was coming on the TV like charlie brown great pumpkin or the grinch!!
Me too :D
@@DavesArchives so do i.
thanks for the time machine to a special time in my childhood! I've been so nostalgic for the 90's lately that I completely forgot about the 80's! Banana boards, water weenies wars, rocking out to the "Miami Vice" intro song, and then watching "Stand By Me" and being scared of Keifer Southerland. Those were the days
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@DavesArchives okay.
I hot wired a Teddy Ruxpin to a car battery once and put in a Metallica Tape ..
It was fire I tell you. .FIRE
Ptsd of being 14 lol, so enjoy the resurgance of memories from these commercials! Thank you so much!
Man this video hit me in the feels.
Glad to hear it :D
@@DavesArchives i do.
I was 13 in 1986 and my dad was stationed in Germany so we missed a lot of these commercials. Thank you for making these compilations. They're awesome!
My pleasure!
@@DavesArchives you are.
I was a child in the 80's, a kid in the 90's. I was born in 1984. 1984 to 1990=6 years old, 1990 to 2000=16.
Wow! Those toy commercials were awesome! Some of them would be banned today unfortunately 😕
Goodtimes. I truly miss those innocent days as 80' s kid. I count my blessings i got to enjoy fun television/ commercials and toys compared to today's garbage they are brainwashing kids with.
I was 5 in 1986 and i still remember these commercials
Me too!
I remember.
A commercial for "Commercial Crazies". I have this game but all you have to do is put in the included tape and let it play. So hysterical, guaranteed out loud laughs, your sides will hurt.
Shout out to all the 80s Babies!
I had almost forgotten about Slime... It came in its own little trash can. That smell it left on your hands, lol.
The one thing that I notice in these ads and that I could not possibly have appreciated at the time was how lighthearted everything was Versus the stale, cynical irony of current year. I gotta get back Doc...
I was 17 when these commercials aired in '86. I was busy working after school and cruising around in my '74 Firebird 😎
Seeing that Toys R Us commercial made me sad. Knowing I'll never get to go into one again. Actually, I hadn't been allowed into one since the court order, but that never stopped me so....
I forgot about so many of these. Man I'm old.
Yeah, I was 12, turned 13 in August. GREAT year for everyone involved..
Wow that was a great video. Got a little sad when it ended. Do more of those please ??? Maybe some kids classics from 1984. Loved that year
More to come!
@@DavesArchives yes.
1:30 "Stadium not included" Daaaaaaaamn!!! 😝
I was about 3 years old when these commercials were on TV.
Dolls sold seperately. Stadium not included. Always a catch with those old fun toys!
FOUR SOFT TACOS FOR JUST 1.99
And a VCR for $599. Jesus.
I was thinking the same thing, when I seen that Tacobell add. I also remember vaugly that there was only a handful of things on the menu, but still a fun treat when we were able to go.
Yummy 😋.
Ah man! I haven’t thought about the Evil Horde Slime kit in forever. I can still remember how the slime smells 😂😂👍🏼
That Perfection game is part of why I'm on anti-anxiety meds now.
This content is gold. Some of these commercials I remember vaguely but after seeing them again the brain connections reform. Amazing
Ahoyhoy There, Fellow RUclipsrino! I didn't live then, but I really appreciate the days of old.
.
You're welcome, GroenFan!
@@DavesArchives okay dave.
Teddy Ruxpin 😍
Yeah i knew a kid that had a younger brother that had one. We snuck a Metallica tape in it, hilarity ensued!!!
@@ericzerkle5214 That's crazy, because my older brother and his friend did the same to me, and it was a metallica tape!
Yes.
Crazy...i was only 3 years old when these aired on tv. Wow...
There's a old "don't do drugs" commercial where there's a narrating voice and a kid on camera, the narrator asks what would he say to someone trying to offer him drugs, and he says: "GET THAT STUFF OUTTA MY FACE!!" Then a the words "No way!" are shown and it goes back to showing the kid for a quick second and he's got the funniest wide eyed look on his face while slightly moving like he wants to fight- depicting himself standing up against being offered drugs. Yo, that commercial had me, my bros and cousin in tears from laughing so hard 😂. If anyone ever finds that commercial, please upload it, i'd love to see it again.
I still have my Lazer Tag stuff stored somewhere safe and I will never give it up.
Best decade ever
Oh man Cabbage Patch Kids were my jam!!! I had most of the dolls, clothes, hair ribbons, music and all the Books!!!
This is cool seeing the old commercials.
Loved the 80s and as a kid I never had a dull moments. Great movies, music, commercials and toys! I find myself at a lot of flea markets and on ebay searching for a lot of the things I grew up with and a lot of things that I wanted but never could afford at the time. Sad that you cant find a Toys R Us or KB toys anymore.
Same here!
@@DavesArchives always.
@@DavesArchives me too Dave.
3:35 Back in the day I thought that hamster was real. 🤣🤣🤣
Grandparents to Larry - Oh what a cute toy!
Larry - ...Toy!?!?
Hmmmm.
@@adamscott7354 😂😂😂 Pretty much!
I was about 7 years old at the time.
How can you dislike this?
It was probably kids from the 70's hahaha.
True.
Wow thanks for reminding me how old I really am big 👍
You’re welcome 😊
@@DavesArchives that was sarcasm btw LoL😁
$599 for a VCR? That's insane! (adjusted for inflation to the current year, $1500) and I'm over here worrying the new PS5 is going to cost to much lol
I actually remember when we got our first vcr. Around 83. It was like 700 bucks. My mom took that shit over too. Thought it was her personal damn soap opera recorder. A couple years later my dad opened a video rental place....ya know the neighborhood rental place with the room in the back. Then we had a vcr in every room of the house. lol. The business did really well until hurricane Andrew destroyed it. I remember him telling me when I was in my teens that the porn video rentals made him 5 times as much as the regular video rentals.
@@twinglock40z I sure do miss the 80's :)
The economy was open unlike today so more money
Yep I remember my parent getting a quasar for like 1k plus a wired remote. But that VCR worked for over 20 years
@@twinglock40z Video tape technology at that time was still fairly new, which means it was still expensive.. Not like today where everyone has a DVD or Blueray player.. Not every household had a VCR in those days due to the costs.. We didn't, and we would actually borrow a VCR from a family member when we wanted to watch movies.. In the late 1980s was when we got our first VCR..
Thanks for the entertainment and great memories 💖
You bet!
@@DavesArchives okay dave.
Guess I wasn’t playing with power. Never had my house fly when playing the NES...😩
I grew up that year beyond my years.
“ Now the McNuggets make a basket” lol I’m sure that went over my head as a kid.
Yes the evil horde slime pit! I remember that commercial!
I had the laser tag toy, teddy ruxpin, astronaut cabbage patch kid, perfection and yes the rainbow brite toys.
Lovely 😍 😍 😍 😍.
Awesome. I had the evil horde slime pit. My uncle bought it for me for Christmas. I was 8. All my slime dried out though.
I was 8 in 86...great incredible times
Yes it was!
@@DavesArchives okay 👌👍▶️🙂😊🚫💵💰😂🤣🌍🚭😴✅🛑🥺😣😳😲 Dave.
Now I remember all the things I never had😩
For a few minutes I felt like I was 10 years old again. Nintendo, Slime, Laser Tag... that was awesome.
This is Awesome!!!
My parents were not thrilled when I introduced the He-man slime pit to our carpet.
I had the "Slime pit", but, nobody I knew could afford laser tag.
I was the one kid in my whole neighborhood to have Lazer Tag toys. I got the vest, the helmet, two pistols and the rifle for Christmas. Never could figure out why the rifle was white when everything else was black or silver.
@@beaslesop9368 I never understood why LT sold each gun/sensor set by themselves. You need at least 2 to play, and most parents wouldn't buy two sets for one kid. Photon,at least gave you a red and blue set in each box.
@@dougwhiddon8227 Yeah, I have no idea either. LT was more expensive already and I do think it would've been around longer had they made it more affordable. At least my parents went all out that year so me and a couple friends could play. None of us ever got the Photon set though.
9:32 Holy crap, that's around $1,400 today.
And by the time DVD took over, you could get a 4-head stereo VHS player/recorder for 40 bucks.
@@kalmac6255 now you can get a personal dvd player with monitor for under$50
@@trentdawg2832 Just paid 25.00 (plus tax) for a no frills Onn DVD player.
Hmmmm.
6:49 Jeep's in 1986 looks just like Jeep's in 2020 ?
Yesss!!! I've been waiting for a compilation of retro toy commercials from you!! MORE DAVE, MOOORRREEE!!
On it!
@@DavesArchives alright.
Ugh. The Cabbage Patch commercial where the parents pretend it's their great grand child. Smh Thanks for sharing all the other stuff. It brings back good memories!
Thanks for watching!
@@DavesArchives i did.
I had that Power Wheels Jeep. Don't know what battery they installed for the commercial. It was slow as molasses when I had a passenger.

Brother had bigfoot Ford and my cousin had a red Barbie Corvette.
Fun times! Great memories!
This was great to see what things were like when I was born!
I was 4 and it was great LOL ❤
Me too. And it sure friggin was.
@@fahhhque2255 Right?! Best cartoons and cool prizes in the cereal boxes LOL
@@jaimereynolds258 We had it all. We really did. A simpler time, with no helmets or knee pads and television that actually made you feel good.
You are still young
@@gingerkennedy2021 😃
I miss my pound puppy now lol
Ahhh, the 80s. The decade of multi colored slime. You could even get it in the vending machines!
* Me explaining why I need yet an 11th can of Ectoplasm for one of my gifts *
Nice.
My childhood was the best in the entire human kind
"Laser Tag, stadium not included" lol
