40 cents for a plate of french fries what a time to be alive
tori toscanini if you adjust it to today’s inflation rate, it’s cost around $1.25, which is still relatively cheap. Nowadays, a plate of French fries is like $3.99
At Henry's Hamburgers in Chicago(in the 60's), you could get a shake, cheeseburger and fries for a buck!
Minimum wage was like $2.65 ph I made $11,000 a year and that was pretty good. So 40 cents for a plate of fries was actually expensive
would you like them super sized
I remember in the 1980's a hamburger at McDonald's was 25 cents and a cheeseburger was 35 cents.
not one drug commercial or reverse mortgage commercial. I love it!
I didn't even notice
No lawyers either. Back then advertising such things on TV was illegal, IIRC
And especially, no insurance commercials
Or insurance commercials, there's a ton of those now days. Shows you which industries are prosperous now.
You’re right! I get sooo sick of those pharmaceutical company commercials
This prices make me wish I could go to the 80's for dinner
Wouldn't help, as you'd only be making $4.00 an hour....
The food was so much better than the chemicalized poison we get now.
There are no future currencies exchange.
@@MrJest2 That's $10.72 in today's money which is pretty damn good considering the fact that housing and rent has gone to shit, not the mention the price of cars and the rising taxes.
@@talksolot it was more chemical laced back then, you know the back then it was the future
People in the 80's: ignored commercials
People in the 20's: watch 80's commercials for fun
Serves educational purposes😆youtube is actually an archive and made for these videos
how to people in 1920 watch commercials from the 80s
I was born in 1974 and i have to admit that I don't recall most of those commercials. The diet Pepsi and the Wrigleys gum I vaguely remember.
ibcure 2020 dude
King Aria to be fair we watch commercials from the 80s for nostalgia. I wouldn’t watch commercials from today on RUclips.
Me: *wasn’t born until 2000*
RUclips: wanna see a bunch of ads from the 80s?
Me:......YES
Me: Born in the middle of the 90s
RUclips: How about some 70s and 80s ads?
Me: You son of a bitch, I'm in! 😎
Poetic Ebony so sorry. You got screwed being born after all this.
NIcholas Bilski
Exactly
@@4evrnick eh I wouldn't say all that. lol
Poetic Ebony I was 3 seems like another lifetime ago
Strange how what would of been usual annoying ads in 82 are now in 2020 mildly entertaining..🤔
WOULD'VE
I find it strange , these were commercials I wanted to be over to continue watching cartoons . Now I’m watching 11 minutes of them haha
I never thought of tv commercials as annoying until 2000 when they changed tone.
@@rovhalt6650 so you would gladly sit through a bunch of cheesy commercials while you wait for your show to get back on?
@@raesmith2164 I always did. Even recorded a bunch of them on vhs.
This brings back memories that don't exist
Vika K How old are you? I bet you were born in the 2000s
@@clinicalpsychologist I was born in the late 90s. Why does that even matter lol
These commercials were made before I was born. I'm a late 80's child, I got to live through 2 & a 1/2 years, before the 80's ended. I miss these days, I miss the 90's, & early 2000's, wish I could go back in time. Those were the good old days. I remembered Gas prices being so low $10 would get you a half of a tank of Gas, and minimum wage jobs were $5 an hour. Everything was cheaper back then. The 80's and 90's were the time to be alive, before cellphones existed. Kids respected their parents, and elders.
@@static_Tricolor_camry I don't wanna be _that_ person, but kids still respect their parents just as they did in the 80s. Bullying, disrespect, drugs and other addictions existed back then too. It's not up to the kid how they act, it's up to the *parents* because a child acts however the parents raise them. Don't be a boomer.
@@static_Tricolor_camry LOL, OK BOOMER. It's not about the generation it's about the way the children are raised. Just like what Vika K said. All generations had their problems
Wrigley's Cocaine-Infused gum really keeps you humming.
Yes, I'm sure at $.25 a pack there's a whole bunch of cocaine in there
Haha yeah, it's odd they marketed it that way. It doesn't even have caffeine in it. Commercials in general were just a lot different then. Like Diet Coke, why wouldn't they market it based on it being 1 calorie instead focusing on the taste, which I don't think most people think is better tasting than regular Coke.
@B cuz calorie counting and diets really took off in the 80s/90s. most of it was a scam tho all the “low fat” products
thnx! thinking in that vein LOL
Definitely more than spearmint in there
Commercials were like broadway shows in the 80's.....so great.
In ‘82, I was a high school Sophomore. These old ads remind me, especially this year, how simple life was (comparatively speaking).
"One pump can satisfy everyone". I've tried that excuse before.
😂😂
Robert Lawson 😂😂😝
Robert Lawson 😂😂😂
HA!!!
I've used that line as well and the 3 inches is all you need one too...😓
I would give anything to be sixteen again in the 70's. These commercials remind me of so many things I did at the time. The phone hung on the wall in your kitchen and mom stuck a note on the fridge if anyone called when you were out! Tattoos were only seen on bikers and prison inmates. Rock music was booming and new trends in toys, games, hobbies, footwear, dance, movies, rampant! The 1970's was the greatest time to be young!!!
Vincent Lussier my dad was in his early 20s during the 70s and my mom a teen-early 20s. And they said they had a great time. That they were beautiful times
Vincent Lussier this the resin with are in the mess today because of 70 and 80 children . Not understand the real power in the world.
You would even give up your kids/grand kids? Kinda fucked bro...
Not me, I was 18 in the early 70’s I was afraid of Vietnam and joined the Navy to keep from being drafted by the army. You can have the 70’s. They stunk in my opinion
Eddie Hearn you got that right. Every fossil in government today were pot smoking kids in the 70’s. Before the 70’s liberals were great ideology of great Americans like JFK after that they were like the Clintons. Don’t even ask about how the 70’s ruined conservatism. BTW Nixon was a liberal Republican. He created the EPA.
This can teach you so much about consumerism.
About culture in general. You can seriously feel the difference in these commercial and those from just a few years later, and so on.
This confirms I’m an old soul.
I feel so nostalgic I want to cry.
ok boomer
Not yet, you aren't old!
'82 was when the '80s really started coming into being its own special decade.
i see it more like a refined 70s
No doubt. MTV, the British Invasion, really no 80s music before 82, etc. 80 and 81 were more like the 70s.
BillVol right
Jacko's _Thriller._
And inside a garage near San Jose, a techie geek and a salesman with a vision would change everything in our world, today
The commercials are so fun to watch while reading the hilariously perfect comments! I feel as excited as if I’d just had a piece of Wrigley’s Spearmint Gum
Hahahahahahaahshhashutupmetoo
Who’s watching this as we are Stay at home orders today.
Me!!!! I also wish there were a time machine that would take me back to 1982! ❤
me, i miss the 80s so much. WE didn't have stupid scary pandemics like the sars or covid, we only had aids then.
@@thepearlatelier4256 Didn't yall have one of those, "The world is gonna end" scares that seem to pop up every decade? (I'm only 20 so I wasn't around then, all my knowledge comes from older generations and documentaries/research).
@@skinni_the_P00hBear Yes we did have a few times of the world is gonna end, including some guy who built d ark cos he thot there wld be a great flood, but not like this pandemic.
Yaa... RUclips such a miner area...dig everything to explore it.
6:40 lori loughlin working on getting the kids to college.
😂
Lmfao!!!
Lmaooooooooo!!!!!!
bahahaha! lmao! Or perhaps a post incarceration job..
Her attorney can argue anyone who contibutes to the growth of a corporation is a law abiding American & my client can demonstrate this since her teens.
1980s commercials are so goofy but strangely charming at the same time.
But a cut above the trash they show today
These commercials are great. Back when I was young
Funny how these commercials were a burden back when they aired but are now the actual show, so familiar and relaxing to watch.
Lori Laughlin will be back to working at ARBY’s after she’s done paying for all of her legal expenses.
how DARE you !
😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👍
Hahhaahh after spending all noodle soups to pay not to be finger fucked in prison
@Eric Wellman" was" Key word WAS
😂😂😂
I remember every single one of these commercials.
We would always go to Sears right before the school year started. Now the company is on the verge of going bust
Sears was something else in 1987. Worked there for six months. You could furnish your entire house with Sears, clothe your family, & cover Christmas by shopping at Sears. Maintain your car, supply it, take care of your house & lawn, & even buy insurance & mutual funds through Allstate. Really. Sears had a snack section (popcorn & chocolates) & even a restaurant. Ours had a salon & photographer. Hmm...what national store mirrors this? W...
I was so bummed when the Sears near me closed. That was my go-to for clothes, especially pjs.
Now people buy things from Amazon O wait Amazon just lost a 1000 and ploy years from one store due to covin 19
Sears and JCPenney are on the ledge looking down ready to jump, Macy's is walking behind them getting ready to stand on the ledge
We would go to Miller's Outpost and Wiener's.
I so miss these day this was a time of living good. No worries. My goodness bring them back
I remember being terrified Reagan would lead us to getting nuked.
Ever notice how there was a pause in between the commercials unlike now a days?
Ever notice that shows back then were 26 minutes long, then 24, 22, 20, 18, and now 16? Ever wonder why people stopped watching live broadcasts?
@@UmmYeahOk zactly. Today's tv is absolutely torture. Pitching to me all kinds of bullshit Im never gonna buy any dam way.
@@styldsteel1
You just don't buy stuff because you're poor.
@@johncholmes643 I have no idea what you are trying to say, but my point was it is dam near impossible to watch television today because a half hour show is really about 18-20 minutes long. An "hour" long show is really about 40-45 minutes, and by the way? the writers are having a very tough time writing for these shows that have been basically aborted. As far as I'm concerned? The advertisers pay to advertise their products on the networks, and we as the viewers are left with basically bird seed. So yea.. I stopped watching live broadcasts.
@@styldsteel1
You don't have TV
Things seemed a lot more exciting in the '80s, & they knew how to make you feel hungry too.
Unless that Wrigley's spearmint gum was sprinkled with crack, that gum ain't gonna give that effect for damn sure
Why are they all chewing with their mouths open?
It's just a commercial
We were so silly in the 80s 🤣😂💕
And cringy people in the 80's were cringy and why are people eyes so damn big😂😂
This reminds me of the 80s I sure miss the 80s
I remember Hunt Club. That’s what you got when your parents couldn’t afford Izod polo shirts.
deeprose4 lmao exactly !!! 😂😂😂
deeprose4 I had LeTigre . They were just as popular as Polo and Izod
That shit didn’t sound cheap either... 20 to 28USD? In 1982? Forget about it
Sexy Chickpea same!
@@somebody4244 that was $53 to $75 back then!
Watching a lot of these in a row, it struck me that thrift and low cost were very strong selling points. Then I remembered these were in the recovering years from the recession of the 70s
Hamburger Helper was born in 1972. Imagine. One could "stretch" a pound of hamburger (actually expensive then) into two using bread crumbs + salt & pepper. Many Great Depression & WW 2 practices were revived in the '70's to cope with the Recession. People began Victory Gardens, learned to sew (remember Simplicity), did home canning, & the DIY movement grew w/ books on simple home repairs. Looks like frugality is coming baaack. 🍊⚡
81 was a recession yr remember
Dang. What's really in that Wrigley's Spearmint?
Meth lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The precursor to 5 hour energy shots!
I don't know but that shit kicked in at friggen lightning speed
The original gateway drug, sugar
i remember the palmolive ad, they had it in Singapore. its so interesting to watch retro commercials. reminds me of a better time.
Beautiful memories.
I was 11 in 1982. I love that I was raised in this era.
Thanks for the time machine. The 80's were good times.
80's:A fun and charming decade
90's:A good and bad decade
2000's:A disastrous decade full of tragedies
2010's:A really crappy decade
2020's:Bad start of the decade with viruses around killing people but still hopeful it'll get better
I was 11 when these commercials came out. It’s been so long, I forgot how different they were. They were very straight forward and musical in hindsight. Today’s commercials are great too because some of them are so incredibly thought provoking and clever. It seems like every decade has a completely different shift in culture and entertainment. I wonder what it’ll be like 10 years from now.
Today's commercials are pure trash..nothing good about any of them
My mom had a Mercedes turbo diesel and when I was 16 I drove it exactly like in that commercial. That’s amazing
Seminole Nation you literally made me laugh out loud 🤣
I have the same car now, acceleration stinks but the ride is unlike anything there ever will be again. It's a great experience.
The 300D was a REAL Mercedes
Seminole Nation 😂😂😂
Hahahaha!
I remember a lot of these. The 80s seem like a lifetime ago, almost like a dream. Maybe I'm dreaming now and I'll wake up and be back in the 80s.
So funny. In the actual 80's, I'd either make a pee run or channel surf during these commercials. Now I'm voluntarily watching them.
The 80s the greatest decade ever ❤️🇺🇲
I miss the 80’s when things was so normal
Those Diet Pepsi ads are ART!
Poor Lori laughlin one minute she's selling me a roast beef deluxe next she's bribing her kids into university and getting arrested.. Time flies..
😭😭😭 you win the internet
Wow that was her? *Goes back to watch*
Yep, I noticed her in that spot. She looks about 18
I noticed Lori right away also. Did anyone notice the blonde guy from karate kid in the Dial Soap commercial?
@@michellemoffett9458 I did I said that they should have never had that guy in in that commercial I think it completely ruin the dial commercial he was the antagonist in the Karate Kid and it ruin the commercial. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that!
Help, I fell into a time machine and went back to 1982.
Wait for meeeee!
I'd gladly take your place!
I love these videos. Gives me a glimpse into the types of products that were booming at the time. It also makes me wonder how many of them my parents or grandparents remember.
That Mercury Lynx with chrome rims actually looks better than most of today's subcompacts.
At what point did diet drink technology finally advance to where they could get it down from 1 calorie to 0?
It has more to do with how they measure calories....for example, Tic Tacs have 0 calories (each) but after eating 3 you get a calorie. It's all a numbers game
Jeff Steen yes exactly. That’s why a single can of regular classic coke only had 48 calories! ...serving size is 5
@Jon Jon Yeah, artificial sweeteners aren't processed like sugar is. Wonder why it was 1 calorie then? Guess they didn't quite know how digesting aspartame and stuff worked yet.
Jon Jon no, not quite. If there is less than 5 calories in a serving it can be labeled and marketed as calorie free. Don’t forget also that not everyone consumes liquid by mouth, or chugs their drinks, so they’re definitely not taking chugging into consideration.
@@MrCarter4121 At least it's not like Clear American Flavored Carbonated Water from Wal-mart. Each bottle (1 Liter) has three servings, and (according to the label) each serving has 0 calories. However, drink the entire bottle and, according to that same label, it's 10 calories. Now I'm no expert in math, but 0 + 0 + 0 does not equal 10.
Looks more like the 70s then 80s LOL! Wrigleys gum never made me work like that! And good ol Madge for Palmolive 😂
1:41 That is the cleanest gas pump I've ever seen!
diet pepsi commercials are AMAZING
Sears Tough-skins: the only Jean's made of denim infused with tree bark 🤣
Kind of shocked how non-boring this is
It's a time capsule. Basically a historical documentation on consumerism. Flash forward to 2020, our commercials consists of insurance companies and reverse home mortgages, oh how we've progressed.
Now one pump can satisfy everyone.
I can't remember one commercial from the last 25 years that's stuck in my mind.
There sure was a lot of music and good cheer in 80s commercials
Denny's is hella expensive nowadays...
Mona P it's not like IHOP is dirt cheap either
@@yell0wberry oh god you ain't lying!
@Enigmatic Nightbird yeah i prefer making stuff nowadays, its cheaper. and like you said, eating at peace is always the best comfort
The lady in the Head And Shoulders commercial also played a nun in a episode of Three’s Company where Jack thought Terri’s visiting friend was in love with him.
😂
I was 6 when these commercials aired. The 80’s were the best decade!
The car commercials are my favorite, they go so fast!😂😂💨
the diet pepsi ad was so aesthetically pleasing
You're right.
I get depressed watching these commercials. Its this weird nostalgia its exciting and also depressing. My father was murdered in 83. Also i left a private school to go to public schools and was bullied really bad! Also as a teen in the 80's i started drinking and using drugs at age 12 in 82! I really remember most of these but really love wrigleys gum commercial!💋❤😃😁
Wow I didn't know people did drugs in the 80's shiiiit
Damn girl, I sincerely hope you are ok now, and I understand how reminiscing can be joyful and sad at the same time. Every time I see commercials from the 70's and 80's it's a rollercoaster of emotions for me
That’s a lot of weird information to offer in a RUclips comment
@@MitchellWiggs some people find it therapeutic to be able to semi anonymously vent on social media platforms, where they will hopefully find words of support and encouragement, not someone telling them they "its weird" 🤨, for seeking comfort.
Imagine someone in 3020 is watching You Tube thinkin' "They were something else back then." "No kidding," responds Dr. McCoy to Capt. Kirk.
Me paying $15 a month for RUclips premium to avoid ads proceeding to watch 10 minutes of ad.
Yup
I was born in the 80s so don’t remember much but I would have loved to have been a teen or adult and actually experience it!! I love watching 80s soap operas and I always wish I could have experienced it properly in that time.
I love Dial! Wish it was still the original formula that everyone is scared of.
1:28.Johnny Lawrence of Karate Kid?
@@fredericbarclay7468,
Yes, that was William Zabka at 16 years old! 😊
1:09 Johnny Lawrence of the Cobra Kai!
Yup, I saw that!
I thought that was him.
Billy Zabka!!!!
@@MrDragonfly thanks for his real name.
@@fredtracy1673 no problem
I’d wear everything in that first commercial
Wrigley’s “Spearimeth”
Keeps you Humming!!!
i literally click because of the thumbnail... and the diet Pepsi ad isn't disappointing, it's so aesthetic
Back when you had real television!!!
Seeing all these brings back memories and makes me miss the 80's.
Some of the clearest commercials from the 80s I've ever seen . Excellent !
this is really cringy to me
Diet Coke: Heart of America....Diet Pepsi: Softcore Porn
They were selling sex in that diet coke commercial, lol. They couldn't get away with that now. And those commercials were airing during Reagan's administration, I'm surprised the religious right allowed that to happen.
Is that Lori Laughlin in the Arby's commercial?
I remember pretty much all of these. I miss the good old days of commercials from the late 70's through the 80's. Commercials really stink now!
Commercials do suck now. Vintage TV commercials had their own songs called "jingles". Today they rip off rock songs. They were also better written and some even funny. But we're in a different era now where advertisers don't have a clue on how to make the consumer want to buy their product and it's more about the money now than ever. Money has become our new God!
Yes
Ad Agencies rockin' back then. Y & R. O & M.
Man I'm old...remember most of these...a new car for under 8000..1982.👍😂😂😂
4:45 I had Toughskins jeans in Junior High, they did hold up well, too well, I grew a couple inches that year and had 4 inches of sock showing by the spring, but my mom wouldn't buy me new ones because they weren't worn out lol
People: "UGH! I HATE ADS!!!!"
Same People: *Purposely watches a video of old ads*
Takes you back to the good times.
Young people won't have a clue what the guy marking prices in the grocery store is doing. Been a long time for that method.
and that sound the price gun made
Lol. I worked at Kmart in the 80's. I remember the price guns...and we did everything without a computer!
@@travisrogers5790 Check this out. At Sears Christmas '87 the toys had price stickers. Sometimes the toy had none. Usually you had the same one that did. Problem solved. At times there was a box or boxes of the same toy without a sticker. Now combine that with seven days to X Mas + long lines w/marching orders to ring up those purchases. Our default was the "MISC" button (miscellaneous) which "overrode" the lack of code & price or "no read" when you waved the wand over the barcode. (faintly recall doing this)Result? We put in the price we thought the product was. "Sir, this looks like $20."The long lines were worked through & Sears cash registers kept on merrily ringing & bringing in profits. 😇💵
I must admit, I changed a few price stickers.
@@woodrow0007 Retailers got wise & started using stickers w/ultra stick & multiple cuts. Just trying to keep one step ahead of youse guys. 😇
My God the years of Sears and JC Penney
God i miss the old days so much i hate todays
Me too...:))
ME TO👊
@Damin Mance FIST BUMB DAMIN👊👊👊😁
We also didn't have to worry about being spied on through our computers! We are seen everywhere by GPS on our phones and by the time you walk from one end of a shopping mall to the other, you've been on surveillance cameras several times. Your picture is taken at every bank depo. Technowlegy is good knowing that a girl has her cell at the ready at night, but we also have privacy invasion!
daminmancejin refer to the comment above.
love retro commerials
Those Miller Lite commercials were the bomb!
I was born in 1964, I love that Lesson here. Thank you. 😂💭👍
William Zabka on that Dial commercial.
1:09
Sweep the leg!!!
"QUIET!!!"
It's Johnny!
I have a dial soap that is still in the gold package like that. I found it at a Salvation Army in a bin filled with miscellaneous bath products. So I just kept it and never used it. It smells bad tho, it smells nothing like it should, of course 😅
That burger tho, i could actually taste it just by looking at it.
Watching this at midnight is ONE crazy trip man
These jingles are the best. Always were.
Took my license in a 1982 mercury Lynx in November 82
8:38 I hate diet soft drinks with a passion, but I gotta admit, that is probably one of the most iconic images in 1980s commercials. Classic and sexy. Pepsi was really pushing market share at this time and this was one commercial that really pushed them to finally compete with Coke.
Dial strikes first, strikes hard, and has no mercy.
Ahh. I remember all of these commercials. I wish I could go back. The 80s were the best. Heck, what am I saying I didn’t even exist.
Tbh I wouldn't cause in the 80's you didnt even have internet I would have gone back to the early to the late 00's/early 10s
Bring back the jingles!
I used to think jingle writer would be the coolest job
It's so cool/kinda horrible to see how much the food portions in the commercials have changed compare to the portions served now.
Miss the 80"'s
I love these ads I was born in 1982 man those were great days
$20 for a pair of jeans at JCPennys in 1982? Ouch!
That was the price of admission to Disneyland in 1982, $20. How much does it cost now to go to Disneyland? $120. So a $20 pair of jeans in 1982 is like $120 today.
$20 for JCP jeans but Calvin Kleins and Gloria Vanderbilts were $40-$50.
"Sweep the leg, Johnny!" @ 1:10 :D
Daves Archives Billy Zabka as a good guy!
Don't mess with Cobra Kai
You've got a problem with that?
Not on the first date!
I totally remember the creepy eye opening on the Coast commercial, Madge and Palmolive, and the Red Lobster jingle! I was 5 in 1982.
Yaaaay the year of my birth. Can't believe 1982 is almost 40 yrs ago.
That's crazy you were born in 82 and almost 40 mean while I'm born in 2002 and I'm still not even an adult yet lol
@@j6t0th3max8 So you're18 now. Time flies by after you turn 18.
I love all the comments!!! 🤣😂😂👍🏼
