Yes. Although science and technology wasn't as advanced as now, it was more fun back then. AND, we had much less to worry about! A P&J sandwich with a bowl of Honey Smacks cereal while watching the Cartoon Express on Channel USA was the Saturday morning fun! LOL!!!
OMG!!! That CBS Special Presentation graphic/audio at :43 instantly took me back in time, even more than 30 years later. For a split second I got excited, as if I was about to see some exciting movie or something. 😂It’s amazing the things that stick in our memories.
Wow! 1987.... 15 years old... not a care in the world except for mom & dad getting on me about homework. 2017... mom & dad can barely function without assistance, I barely get by paycheck to paycheck... Please take me back and let me start over!!!
Wow, talk about a trip down memory lane. I was a senior in high school, living in the Cleveland area. I remember watching CBS news with Tim Taylor, Robin Swaboda and Dick Goddard...I also remember Mullinax Ford, with their jingle "Ed Mullinax is a friend of mine"
God, I have such great memories of watching The Wizard of Oz every year. You couldn't watch anything whenever you wanted to back then! We didn't even get a VCR until at least a couple years after this. The Wizard of Oz was really an event.
That was my favorite movie. One of the latchkey workers when I was in school made a deal with me and my mom that if I didn't behave I wasn't allowed to watch it when it aired. Lol.
Cooe I must be cynical because I felt bad that when he’s supposed to be retired and fishing with his buddies, his pension or retirement fund must have run out for him to submit himself to rude entitled customers and a bunch of teen co-workers who are thinking more about that party the next day than getting the hamburgers ready for the customers.
I would like to watch these old shows that I brushed off. During this time, I was more into Miami Vice, Moonlighting, and 99 cent movie rentals at Pay n Save. CBS was not a network i was really in tuned to in the 80s.
I remember so many toy commercials in the 80’s. Now you never see any toy commercials probably because kids only play on their phones or watch tv. I’m so glad I was a child of the 80’s. It was the best time.
I remember most of these. People seemed more content much less. Such comparatively inexpensive things/products (even for that time), and people made such a big deal about them. A kid buying a Pepsi, for example. Now, you got spoiled kids, and adults, who go to Starbucks and complain.
Me, I almost thought I was the only one 😂 and this is my Birth Year. Watching commercials throughout the years of the 80s. Damn things were so much more simple back then. Wtf happened 🤨
I had forgotten about these but as I see them again, many come back to me. While I remember the “got milk?” Ads from late ‘80s and ‘90s, I forgot all about the “America’s favorite health kick.” I was 12 and not much of a milk drinker. I still don’t drink it. I was gonna try that dalgona coffee until I realized it was nothing more than milk with frothy coffee topping. Anyway, when I saw that “health kick” commercial at 12, I cringed so much. There was no way I could see how milk could get anyone excited like that
LOL, '87 Mustang for $7645 @8:43. I bought an '88 5.0 in 1994 for $8000, best/most fun car I ever owned! I'm seeing some now for about $20,000! It blew a head gasket in 2000 and I ended up selling if for $1500 and 2 bags of killer weed.
I've had a bit of an obsession with 1987 recently. It's like, the first year when I started developing long term memories. I was in kindergarten at the beginning of it, and 1st grade at the end. Our family got our NES for Christmas that year. I don't have a lot of memories from back then. I remember being in kindergarten and seeing an oval for the first time. I asked my mom if it was "a rectangle circle". Few of these commercials really ring a bell.
"There's something about a train that's magic~" "And the nearest train station turned into a museum, so that means I can't ride passenger trains in 2019~"
I was around 12 when these commercials aired and my entire childhood M&Ms were so dull in colors because red and blue dyes were banned back then. I think because the dyes were believed to cause cancer. The first M&Ms I remember were almost like they were made for someone who was color blind. Even though it was all I knew, I found the colors so disappointing and in the commercial they look so strange now. I think I was in college when I saw my first red M&M and was excited
@@AngelaMastrodonato Those colors were probably safer and they definitely tasted better then. All the chemical junk in food now is way worse. Despite the pretty colors.
Back when we could be proud to be an American, unapologetically. Kinda breaks my heart watching these. So very proud to be from this era. And, I will always be proud, unapologetically to be an American.
I loved all of them but I had to point out the one when the old man went to work at McDonalds. Notice how all the younger people there were smiling at him and were happy he was there? Nowadays other kids my age would make fun of a guy that age for working there. Disgusting. I wish the 80s could come back
That was David Rappaport, he was a British actor who gained fame in "Time Bandits" and "The Bride". He had a tv show named Wizard apparently, lol. He was a very talented actor.
No idea that it was the female secondary lead from Dirty Harry 3 The enforcer, figures she'd pick up the lead / supporting lead of a pair of female cops show, love it
Funny to see all the comments about how great the 80s were and how we went outside all the time and that kids today just don’t. **NEWS FLASH** the kids of the 80s and 90s are the parents today! If your kids don’t find excitement in outdoor activities, IT’S YOUR FAULT!! Get your face out of your phone and take them outside!
11:46 -> fire safety violations at the Cleveland Convention Center; apparently she tried to walk through a doorway in that jacket and blocked the only egress route.
Swanson ad, who's got two thumbs, are a bunch of millennials rewatching retro commercials eating the same brand in 2020 while on lockdown? |3> _These guys_
Looks a bit soft and greasy, they were trying to pitch a near equivalent deep dish, but my own craving is to see what that 6 cheese pizza is like which would probably be even greasier
lmfao @ the doublemint ad. twin #1: damn, girl, i could go for some gum! twin #2: word! let's pop over to one brand of gum and random jelly bean nigga down on the board walk. twin #1: sheeit! sounds like a plan. whatchoo gonna wear? twin #2: aw, bitch, you know it's all about the the sleeveless green turtleneck sweater and white highwater pants. now, go get your shit on!

Kenny's shoes in the mall sold generic brand air Jordan replicas I got a pair and was relentlessly humiliated at school cuz of them when I came home they went straight in the trash
Like come on, how the F are most kids even supposed to know about knockoff brand stuff let alone that other kids already do know about it and make a target of them for it, my Rebook Air Pumps were legit though, Thanks Grandma
While I enjoy these commercials and have some good memories growing up in the ‘80, I don’t romanticize the era like so many other people here. I grew up in Monroeville Pa, a town known for its mall, in the ‘80s. Imagine that. Had no idea how quintessentially ‘80s my upbringing was. And in my town kids were superficial AF. The downside of prosperity is it can make kids shallow and judgemental. Yes, kids went outside more than now, but they were just as mean.
Don’t want to be too negative but I was tormented for my Costco perm so I definitely relate. What’s dumb is that we were solidly middle class and my parents made just as much money, possibly more, than our neighbors, but were frugal and invested their money.
I was 12-13 in 1987... the 80s were so much fun. Great music, great economy, and, being a kid, I was carefree.
Yes. Although science and technology wasn't as advanced as now, it was more fun back then. AND, we had much less to worry about! A P&J sandwich with a bowl of Honey Smacks cereal while watching the Cartoon Express on Channel USA was the Saturday morning fun! LOL!!!

I just thought the same thing! Hauling butt to get in front of the TV to see what was up!
Charlie Brown Christmas
Yes.

I hear ya bro!
The year i was born.
I think the same thing often.
I feel the same way, but know what I know now!
@@namelessxdreadhere to
These were aired on Friday, March 6th 1987 - just for curious minds
Thank you i was curious about the date .
Literally on my birthday. So awesome
I was turning 9 yrs old on March 24th. In '87
That's the day I came back from the future
Wow.
Wow, talk about a trip down memory lane. I was a senior in high school, living in the Cleveland area. I remember watching CBS news with Tim Taylor, Robin Swaboda and Dick Goddard...I also remember Mullinax Ford, with their jingle "Ed Mullinax is a friend of mine"
We have a Mullinax Ford here in Florida too. I wonder if they're related.
And now, RIP Dick Goddard
Yes.
Thank you for posting this. It makes a person feel like they traveled back in time.

Loving seeing what commercials aired the year and date of my birth. such a wonderful time capsule
RIP all dogs.
Damn I miss the 80s
Kids actually WENT outside
I'm a DUCK
Me too.
Everyday I always think about what I did as a kid back in the 80's. Unforgettable era.
Kermit the Snitch umm....we still do
Hemi the 90s were better.
EVERY BODY WENT OUT SIDE I WAS 16 AND MY FRIENDS AAND I LIVED IT UP 😂😂👊
Tonys family tried to kill him. But luckily he had a Diet Rite. 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😆😆😆😆
I sure miss 80s pizza hut. It tasted so much better then. :( Lady at 11:49 looks like a rockstar more then a news reporter. lmao
LOL! That's great! Perhaps it's Laura Branigan's cousin doing the news. ;)
Hmmmm.
Lots of classic parodies of classic songs in the McDonald's ads.
The good old days. Now we’re all quarantined.... :(
I wasn't...I went when and where I wanted
@@dalemulholland2387 amen
Growing up in Cleveland I still remember those Mullinax Ford commercials with that music lol
that macdonald's commercial was amazing
too bad to day they don't compose commercials like this no more
I was thinking the same thing. Good times back then.
gatorcc70 i was born in 97 so i missed all of this
:( oh well
Old tunes brings back the old times!
You mean selling fake bullshit to suckers? McDonald's wasn't actually hiring any cute grandpas ... -_-

It's sad to see the ad for 'My Sister Sam."
I know. I remember when Rebecca Schaeffer was killed, it was so shocking.
When it didn't last long.

I wouldn't give this new generation the time of day.
Now all commercials are for pharmaceuticals.
But don't take it if you're allergic to it
Yes.
Everybody's smiling in the commercial as the myriad of side effects are mentioned.
@@jenniferr9624 Exactly, haha!
Tru that
Christie Binkley Covergirl and the m&m commercials
Gene Kelly STILL hanging in airline ads late as 87? What a legend
Northeast Ohio commercials! My Mom bought her cars from that Mullinax dealership! 😅😅😅 I was 3 but I remember some of those channel logos!
Oh my gosh I had one of those Keypers toys back in the day!
And my favorite candy was M&Ms but I called them cam cams.
I remember most of these. People seemed more content much less. Such comparatively inexpensive things/products (even for that time), and people made such a big deal about them. A kid buying a Pepsi, for example. Now, you got spoiled kids, and adults, who go to Starbucks and complain.
Because we live in a lousy decade with lousy people.
I was born in this year. God how I miss the 80's.
If u were born in 87 you don't even remember the 80s..😂😂😂 The 90s were pretty darn good too though..
Me too.
I was a baby. Not even a month old when these commercials aired.
Anyone else watching this during Coronavirus isolation?
I am. These commercials make me even more nostalgic. Life was so simple and good back then. I didn’t realize how good I had it.
@@Cranberries87 Good to hear others are experiencing the same things. Thanks.
Me, I almost thought I was the only one 😂 and this is my Birth Year. Watching commercials throughout the years of the 80s. Damn things were so much more simple back then. Wtf happened 🤨
Makes me yearn more for the good old days.
Teddy Ruxpin blew us away when we were kids.
Back when fast food restaurants were actually CLEAN.
Made to order, hot & fresh. Not sitting gross in the warner for 4 hours.
Wow.
R.I.P. 1987
What a treat to see a commercial with Gene Kelly!!!!!
they were musical back then
I want to go back to 1987 Georgia and eat pizza with that cute southern belle. I wasn't born until 88. Man I missed out.

Does anyone else miss chewing gum made with sugar? I haven't been able to chew gum in years thanks to xylitol.
My sister had a Teddy Ruxpin.
oh god, that 70yr old going to work at mcdonalds, i was mortified
“Were you a dancer”?...Sure...😂

5:41 the great Randy Newman.

I was 12 living in Bensonhurst Brooklyn at the time
"There's something about a train that's magic~" "And the nearest train station turned into a museum, so that means I can't ride passenger trains in 2019~"

USA
I was six at the time.
I never could get my friend's Teddy Ruxpin to work; seeing it never had batteries.
I think people seemed happier and looked better.
OMG Loved the Woolworth commercial!!!
Omg Tony Danza!!

Awesome year 1987
Tony Danza!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5:00 - 'grass or pills' .... Oh Lordy
Would that Ford lifetime warranty repair policy still apply in 2019? Let's say I bought new an '87 Ford Truck and still drove it to this day?
Those m&m's most definitely melt in the hand
Can anyone shed any light on the "Wizard" thing with the midget and the marching band? There's virtually no context.
That was David Rappaport, he was a British actor who gained fame in "Time Bandits" and "The Bride". He had a tv show named Wizard apparently, lol. He was a very talented actor.
Huh.
In my 30s these commercials a blessing period
Loved Kate & Allie, Newhart, and Cagney & Lacey!
No idea that it was the female secondary lead from Dirty Harry 3 The enforcer,
figures she'd pick up the lead / supporting lead of a pair of female cops show, love it
And here I am in 2019 checking in, and to this day 1 Snickers bar will definitely NOT satisfy my hunger!!!!!
Tan M&Ms
R.I.P.
Cleveland, Ohio! ❤️❤️❤️
lol Refusing Mamma / Grandma's food when you realize you could explode like the guy in Life Of Brian
Became an entire meme series
I would love to have the meal that was served to Tony Danza
Remember M&Ms had 2 browns, no red or blue. Nobody wanted the light brown ones
Funny to see all the comments about how great the 80s were and how we went outside all the time and that kids today just don’t.

The sandwiches seem smaller nowadays.

Hey, shout out to WJW TV8, cool
Anyway, what the _hell_ was that Chunky commercial? Yeeks.

19:07 did they seriously CGI a leaf falling in the background?
Love this!!!
The 80's......... the decade of NORMALITY!!!
God I miss the 80s 😢
Those dogs must be free from commercial the twins are giving them the Bob Barker treatment off camera
I wonder who the composer was for that American Express commercial.
