    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.

    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. :)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
