- These commercials aired on ABC on March 13th, 1987. Most of these were originally posted way back in Vol. 15 but here are all of the ads on the tape in better quality!
1. McDonald's (I hope you're ready to be assaulted by a barrage of ads for breakfast sandwiches!)
2. Keebler Tato Skins (These are still made by the original manufacturer and sold under the TGI Fridays brand)
3. Promo for "The Beach Boys: 25 Years Together" (Made during a murky period for the band when Brian Wilson was still under the care of grifter "psychologist" Eugene Landy...still an enjoyable special that can be seen here: • The Beach Boys 25 Year... )
4. "Webster" End Credits
5. KNTV 11 News Bumper
6. "Mr. Belvedere" Will Not Be Seen Tonight... (But watch for it's return!)

Any other 80's kids here watching this channel ever have a moment like what I'm about to describe?: You'll watch some of the earlier 80's years videos and you may say "That looks very 80's" but you don't get a personal connection, but then you'll reach an upload from a year where memory starts to kick in, and suddenly it's "oh yeah, i remember this!". Well apparently i reached that point here with 1987. Super nostaligic. I haven't seen those Keebler Tater Skins commercials in years....
Really good observation.
@scottbaino I have early 80's memories (I was born in the late 70's) but they revolve around watching Saturday morning cartoons or weekday afternoon cartoons. On the other hand, memories of "just random commercials", like the type I'm seeing on this channel, those don't kick in until 1986 at the earliest (for me, anyway).
I'm with you. Most of my firsthand memories start about 1986.
McDonald's really had great advertising back in the day that could appeal to a large range of audiences. They had the McDonaldland commercials for the kids, the family-oriented heartwarming ones, and the energetic ones. It did a great job of selling the product to a variety of consumers. It's funny how I didn't realize how great it was until I started watching commercial compilations like this channel.
I was just about to remark on that. Everything from the health backlash to the clown hysteria has ruined their advertising. Now the restaurants have lost their distinctive looks, the company practically has no mascots, and the service is something to completely avoid.
Also they're pretty much stuck with their menu as it currently stands, as the only thing that people reliably buy there are the mainstays. Every attempt to expand or diversify their menu in the last 20-30 years has been a failure.
Tr0nzoid True. they tried to use a different mascot around 2013 or 14 which was an anthropomorphic Happy Meal box, but I don’t think it did well.
@@80sCommercialVault their cobb salad from around 2009 was surprisingly good. They make decent new items sometimes but either they fail or they just pull the rug out from underneath them and don't commit to them.
Not saying the new items they make are failures in terms of quality, just that like you said, they either don't sell well or they don't commit to them. I used to really like the chicken selects but they took them off the menu :(
Those McDonalds commercials had such a charm to them and managed to retain it after all these years.
The Beach Boys show Promo and Ending remind me of the Full House episode where they performed a concert and DJ won tickets to see them.
Yes and the food tastes much better than!
Seeing Spuds Mackenzie reminds me of the Bloom County comic strip. There was a storyline where two of the characters, Opus the Penguin and Bill the Cat, were running for President, but they were constantly being beaten in the polls by Spuds Mackenzie. Then Spuds political career faced turmoil when he was involved in a drunk driving incident, which caused him to also lose his job as the Bud Light spokesperson. His position for Bud Light was filled in by the Care Bears. God, I love that comic.
Way back when television was more about storytelling. The commercials told the story didn't fill your mind up with just fear ,the one emotion that dominates today's advertising.. It emphasized the use of the product the story behind using the product. Plus they had theme songs that stuck in your head. This is what good advertisement looks like. Today they just don't have a lot of those elements anymore.
They try to tell a story with drug ads these days, but it's so obvious that it's all staged that it's laughable. Everyone gathers together for strange outings, and the pill user NEVER looks sick. It's the kind of commercials RiffTrax were made for.
@@bethdibartolomeo2042 you know if you turn down the volume on today's commercials it would tell a totally different story. You would think it had absolutely nothing to do with the product. Aside from product placement of course.
I've been watching the commercials on this channel for 10 years now, I've actually developed a sense of nostalgia for the first time I've watched them here....things are getting meta
Even the Army knew the importance of having a catchy theme song in your ads
Love all the old commercials!! Brings back good memories!
1:00 "They've given us an endless summer of songs about waves, woodies, and women." And god bless them for that.
After memories of Michael Jackson songs in the early to mid 80's, my memories of songs that I just could remember hearing on the radio all the time kick in with "Kokomo" by the Beach Boys in 1988. Yes, I think I was sheltered from music by my parents. But I loved "Kokomo". I also remember loving "Faith" by George Michael and "Wild, Wild West" by The Escape Club. I don't think my parents liked those songs as much. :-)
Suddenly, I want McDonald's Breakfast! lol
This volume of 80's commercials is brought to you by McDonald's!
I've actually enjoyed those breakfast ads, & the Sausage McMuffin with Egg is still my favorite. Let's not forget their delicious hash browns, the breakfast equivalant to Mickey D's famous fries 😊
Man, I love their breakfast even though it's probably worse for you than heroin.
I loved those Tato skins. Good to know that they're still made. Gonna have to go get a bag.
Isn't there a Applebees potato skin that's similar?
@@yaywhewclips242 TGIF I think
mcdonald’s and bud light. god damn is that some americano advertising
There's that Michelob commercial with Wang Chung. I had this in my head for years and thought it was just a song made for a commercial, until I started watching the movie "To Live and Die in L.A." a little over ten years ago.
OMG Tato Skins were the shit!
That Spuds MacKenzie knew how to party!
I remember McDonald's had that steak egg and cheese bagel breakfast sandwich they should bring that back.
Commercials just don’t have energy anymore :(
Bring back the original deep fried McDonalds hot apple pie, .....the apple pie of today is a doughy mass of tasteless mush.
I have seen the T.G.I Friday's Potato Skins. I'll try it someday. My favorite segment about "mysterious places" (whatever show it features these) is about the Winchester House.
I honestly remember being super upset that Mr. Belvedere was pre-empted. Also love that McDonalds commercial filmed in Chicago.
That ABC Wide World of Sports announcer got me excited to see "AMATEUR BOXING!"
Ok the McDonald’s Commercial at 0:00 Was So Cute!
Back then most VHS video cassettes were over $100...since most tapes were meant to be bought by video rental stores, thus the term “rental priced”
Or recorded from T.V., if you count blank VHS tapes.
@@coraltwining7830 yep! I was lucky to have HBO, so we taped all the movies we wanted to watch over and over. Karate Kid was the first movie I taped off HBO when we got our first VCR. The video rental stores though would charge you over $100 if you lost a tape.
This is because they were literally over $100 in most cases prior to about 1989 when "priced to own" releases became the norm.
I could go for an orange slice
Amen. I wish they would bring Orange Slice back. I used to drink it all the time.
But bring back the good version, and not the garbage they turned it into at the very end.
It's crazy to think that people were enamored enough with VCR technology that they'd spend $61 in today's money for Top Gun.
The average price of a new release VHS tape back then was $90-100...over $200 adjusted in today's money. That pricing model was meant to scare off the average consumer so that only rental places could afford to buy VHS tapes. Top Gun was one of the first VHS tapes to have ads before the movie started, and was sold at a much lower price point.
That adjustment-for-inflation just doesn't work in this case. Buying a videotape for $25 was not perceived as spending much money on it. Still, it wouldn't be common for people to buy the average movie they wanted to watch rather than rent it until DVD came around.
The Beach Boys 25 Yrs Together-loved that line of bikini-clad girls dancing
No Mr Belvedere tonight..? Stewie Griffin will be pissed
McDonalds-this commercial sort of ties in with the Beach Boys special
Michelob-coming soon..the new crime drama anthology,"Michelob Nights"
We Are The Children-this was a very good movie
Cannonball Run II-not as funny as the first one IMO
lmao at Michelob Nights.
Did you have to remind me of the (now sadly discontinued) Slice?
I have to try the TGI Friday’s “tato skins.” Those look yummy!
They’re a lot saltier than they used to be.
Lol Im eating some now, they're yummy and the dollar tree sells bags!!
They're pretty damn good but drink a lot of fluid with them cuz they might dehydrate the hell out of you.
Out of Eagle Snacks nuts? "NO! NO! NO!"
*sorry for the lame WWE joke (that was Daniel Bryan's theme in the Eagle Snacks commercial)
It's "Ride Of The Valkyries" by Wagner: ruclips.net/video/GGU1P6lBW6Q/видео.html
Ozzie Smith!!!!!
Surprised he didn’t do his backflip
Go Cards
BTW: does anyone think it's ... suspicious how much this McD campaign sounds like Barbara Ann... in the middle of a Beach Boys concert? (And, Um, the GTI spot, too. Jeez, guys...)
It IS Barbara Ann. Since the concert special was sponsored by McDonald's it's possible they created the ad with the special in mind. BTW the GTI spot is a cover of Little GTO by Ronny & The Daytonas. ruclips.net/video/o_FSicQWimU/видео.html Not a Beach Boys song.
@@80sCommercialVault well if I'm not mistaken, Barbara Ann was Jan and Dean, wasn't it? My point was merely that I thought it interesting that all of these commercials were takeoffs on the same style of music - right up until I watched the closing credits and was reminded that these were all sponsors of the show not just random advertisements, clearly it was purposeful.
Barbara Ann was originally recorded by The Regents in 1961. Jan & Dean covered it in first in 1962 but this is a lesser known album track. The Beach Boys version from their 1965 "live" album Beach Boys Party! became a surprise hit single and is the version that most people recognize. Dean Torrence sang on both versions: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Ann
@@80sCommercialVault The Party track is the one that devolves into party chatter at the end, I gather?
I saw the Winchester House when I went to San Jose four years ago for the Stanley Cup Finals. I didn't take the tour because I had to catch the game and fly out the next day, but I'm hoping to take a longer trip to the Bay Area soon and check it out!
"Top Gun" was also released in Betamax and mine was the odd family to have that player. I wore out the tape by the end of the year.
The Beach Boys are my number one favorite band and their 25th anniversary concert was one year off as they formed in 1961. But anyway, it was sad that Dennis was gone by this point. If Brian represented everything that the band was musically, Dennis represented everything they were in spirit.
The concert was shot in December of '86, with additional vocals recorded in January of '87.
What happened America? So much culture. All in the toilet now.
