I can't believe Jimmy Dean is still selling his sausages today on TV, 36 years later. The commercials have pretty much the same tone and style after all this time.
@@roam1646 There are still a handful of Ponderosa/Bananza steakhouses around... From what I read on Google, 53 nationwide... So yeah, they are far and few in-between...
I remember that lotto music, man, that drawing was just a few days before my 24th birthday. And I had a shelving unit my parents bought from Service Merchandise in my swinging (not really lol) Chicago bachelorette pad 😂
The best thing about these adds (that I did not see at the time) they are all happy:) I think that should make a strong comeback!! Thank you Dave for another trip back to better times!
VCR games are a forgotten thing today, but I had a couple of them back in the day. I had a video Bingo game that had several different pre-made games to play, with different patterns (and a couple of standard games) to win with. I also had a Star Trek TNG game that I played once from the mid-90s and just wasn't interested in it, but we kept it for years before selling it in a garage sale.
Those Jordache Basics commercials were so disproportionally "life is rough!" compared to the rest of the commercials. Feels like someone needs to slap those teens upside the head and tell them "It's the 80's, life is great, snap out of it!" Of course, I was 10 years old in 1986, so I had not reached my own "teenage angst" years yet.
ah the SEGA master system... my aunt had one many years ago I do have fond memories of Wonderboy 3: The Dragon's Trap (fyi get the modern-day remake its amazing) and Ghostbusters (which if you're familiar with Compile this was one of their early games!) wish SEGA had done an SMS mini I wouldn't mind owning one. also never knew how many freaking VCR games existed!
Love it!! My family had the Flash Match, and Flash Match Jr. VCR games, and I still have our original copies complete in the boxes, however I really need to transfer the tapes over to DVD at some point.
I genuinely enjoy these trips back in time, even though I'm pretty sure I wasn't alive when most of these aired. It's always interesting to see what brands and/or products don't exist anymore. An old commercial for a game about older commercials on a channel about old commercials. Dave must've giddy when he saw that one. What exactly was the point of those "Jordache Basics" ad? Aren't they a jeans company or something? Makes you wonder if someone won that lottery and what happened to them.
It was a time when we firmly believed what the television told us. I look back and I feel like we were more innocent than society today. I do like that we get truth outside of television anymore.
The whole video I was trying to determine when this was. I paused it to do some research. Based on googling the games advertised, I came up with late 86...then the lottery clip at the end says the exact date, of course. haha I loved this selection of commercials. Very nostalgic! I was 7 years old, and this is around the time my memories become pretty vivid. I miss the feeling of wanting all the games and toys I saw in the commercials. :)

Ah, more great ads from the 80's! VCR games, now that must have been quite the concept back then. Precursors to DVD games like the Scene It? series of games. That Toyota Camry commercial made me remember an interesting fact. Over the years, there have been multiple Toyota nameplates related to the word Crown. The first being the Crown, itself. The Camry is derived from kanmuri, Japanese for crown. Corona and Corolla, which mean crown and small crown in latin, respectively. There was also the Tiara, which of course, is a small crown. From 2011 until 2017, the Australian market Camry was offered in an Atara trim, which is hebrew for crown, and a badge engineered Camry for the Japanese market was called Scepter, which is a common accessory to a crown. That McGruff ad hit me like a brick wall there. I used to get a bit creeped out by those ads as a kid, or at least...the ones that aired in the 90's, to be exact. Those and the Vince and Larry ones. Had to pause the ad for a moment, took me by surprise, didn't expect it. Mmm...Porsche 928. I quite like those. then again, I'm also one of the people who wasn't deterred by the idea of a Porsche SUV in the early 00s, either. Nothing wrong with being a bit different. That Commercial Crazies ad...was that John Moschitta, aka 'The Micro Machines Man'? Pretty sure that is. I wish there was still a Ponderosa around me. I used to go there a lot as a kid, such a great place. Then again, they're just like Sears and Kmart, very few locations left. It's a real darn shame the early issues with the Fiero ended up being the car's reputation, even after the much improved 1988 revisions. That Bonneville was quite nice, too. Once in a blue moon, I see one that's still well taken care of on the road, and it makes me smile.
its wild that we still live in a world where Brett Farve playing football with his buddies (in jeans) is the most normal blue jeans commercial ever made
Hi Dave, thanks so much for all your hard work! I'm sure this has been asked many times, but what is the song clip played at the beginning of each episode? It's a great vibe-setter!
Have you run across a 1981 commercial for Crazy Horse sportswear? Actresses are mounted on horses that are dressed like a clown, cop, and jogger. Shot on Park Avenue.
As most people in their 40s nowadays do, I wish I could be a kid again in this glorious decade. Sure it wasn't perfect for all but it was great to be a kid. You could actually play outside. I don't see kids playing outside anymore.

Define irony... Skipping a RUclips add to watch a video about... Adds... Man these commercials bring back some fond memories... The 1980s... When music was actually good, when NASCAR was truly racing, when Regan was president... They say that all this technology makes life easier, and in a way, it does, but in a way, it has mad society more lazy... Kids barely co outside to play with friends anymore... It's all about that "Fortnite" or whatever now... Cellphones... People got their noses stuck in them almost 24/7 these days... Hell, texting and driving has now taking the top #1 cause of fatal car accidents now... Society has become lazy nowadays... Don't wanna go out and do nothing anymore... Hell, now they got that "UberEATS", "Door dash", "GrubHub", and "Instacart"... You don't even have leave your house to go to the store anymore... And television now... *PHTTT* forget it... Sexual content, violence, drug reference, foul language etc... I don't even watch TV anymore... I have a tv, and I have cable... But I don't watch it... I prefer RUclips, at least I can watch what I want on RUclips... When I'm on RUclips, and I get those rioting, looting, murder, racist videos, I just skip them and go straight to cat videos, or wholesome videos like this one... Awesome job Dave... And by tbe way, the one thing that surprised me the most, was the Jimmie Dean commercial... 35 years later and ain't hardly changed a bit... That when you *KNOW* you got something good... Hell, if it works, don't change it... Anyway, um gonna hop back in my time machine and and go back to the 1980s... Y'all take care and God bless...
I'm not going to watch something that has a logo on the screen during the entire time. It's too distracting, and you are constantly being reminded that it's not actually the 1980's. You can't get lost into it. It's one thing to make the logo appear for a few seconds at the beginning and the end, and perhaps a bit in the middle, but not throughout the entire thing.
Is it me, or are THESE adds truly diverse? White people, black people, young people, old people, hairy people, bold people, beautiful blondese same as regular guys... Try to put a bald man into a modern advertisement.
A commercial compilation that contains a commercial for a game called Commercial Crazies... I believe we have reached peak nostalgia and I love it!
I'm 37 myself and just wanted to share how much I love what You're doing here on the channel bro :)
Much thanks!~
38 here. I completely agree.
@@DavesArchives you too dave, you're so nice.
47 years old here... I was lucky to live the whole era...
Did I see Higgins in one commercial and Zeus and Apollo in another?! Oh how I miss them and Magnum P.I.
that jordache ad went hard

That's when you *KNOW* you got something good...
Jimmy dean has been dead for 20 years
Those were some good ones! Loved the lottery in there! When my hubby was a boy he lived up near Chicago so he remembers the Illinois Daily lottery.
Commercial Crazies. I think that describes us pretty well.
I still have that game. It's hysterical.
Yes.
Pondarosa was the first place I ate a steak as a kid. O's were my favorite breakfast cereal as well.
Where is/was that restaurant located at? I live in Az
@@roam1646 I live in Ohio. But haven't seen one in many years.

Thank you. I grown up in the Chicagoland area. 80s kid and 90s teen. These commercials brings back so many awesome memories. 🥺 Keep up the Great work.

I still have my 2004 Pontiac Grand Am and is the best most problem-free car I've ever owned.
This waas when commercials were good. None of the crap that's on tv today. Thank you. This really brings me back to my teens.
We are the commercial crazies and you are the "maestro"! These strolls are way better than Sunday night football. Thanks, Dave!
You got it!
@@DavesArchives right dave.
The best thing about these adds (that I did not see at the time) they are all happy:) I think that should make a strong comeback!! Thank you Dave for another trip back to better times!
Yes.
They were all happy except for the teens in those Jordache Basics commercials. ;-)
Digging the sound track on that lotto drawing
I forgot how McDonald's and Burger King used to go at each other back then!!!
Finally there's something Good on TV!
Oh God I almost forgot about Panderosa. I've never seen a commercial for it though.
Man, this brought me right back to my early childhood. The feels.
For me its the McDonald holloween buckets but give me that early childhood feel. but the 90s, come on..
I was either 2 or 3 years old living in kips bay in 30th street in nyc with my mom
