Weird how I used to hate commercials and now … I’m watching them in almost thirty minute collections.
It’s funny we didn’t realize what we had at the time. Today’s commercials have no soul or creativity like they used to.
Omg right
I’m with you brother 🤘🏻❤️
Amen lol! I found myself getting upset at the commercials interrupting these commercials but, it was taking me out of this escape. 🤪
We're all having a midlife crisis. This adulthood is bullshit. Maybe it wouldn't be if the world wasn't so fucked.
Going to blockbuster and getting movies was so much fun.I really miss those days
Yeah, I forgot that. There was an anticipation about it. You were hoping to get there b4 all the new releases were gone.
@@differencemaker242 We were strategic about it, never going on Friday or Saturday when we could rent on Tuesday or Wednesday. It made a world of difference, let me tell you.
Yeah. You spent time as a family before spending time as a family.
@@Ir0nMa1d3n yeah, with NO CELL PHONES. Then you stopped by the pizza place and picked up some on the way home. Or you ordered some yatgawmein!
Those were good times. Movies and food in tow and excitement in the car on the way back home. We always got pizza pizza - 2 pizzas from Little Caesars. B4 Blockbuster we went to a place called Erols video. It was the same really. They might have had a smaller selection though.
Watching commercials from your childhood is a very comforting thing.
It is crazy how some of these you remember who it is for after 2 seconds of it playing.
It really is. I love when one pops up and I'm like "OMG I forgot all about that"!
70's and the 80's were the best times for me! I miss these days.
Amen!!
Know we live in hell
Agreed Rachel!
Wow. This is clearly from a world that doesn't exist anymore.
I know, 89 cents for something that is now on the dollar menu.
@@TranslatedAssumption Good one....
💯💯💯
True, better times.
I used to fear death, now I look forward to it.
It feels as though we've stepped into a new universe, and we will never get back to normal life.
The twilight zone!
I miss the 80s!!
It can go back to normal right now.....the problem is most people are pu$$ies and are too controlled by the govt.
Your kids and grandkids will one day think your 2020s are weird. 🙂
@@Tsubahi
The 2020s ARE weird.
In 40 years people won’t be watching our commercials, they are all about medicine against depression
lmfao
True
And mystery vaccines that don't even work.
@@blackbeansmatter1280 💯
All commercials are these days is either about selling you more pills, or making you feel bad that you will ALWAYS be alone.
I miss everything about this. This world we live in now sucks.
I know friend.
Yup.
I understand.
Well, we either all start standing up together against this... or the middle class is done.
Big time.
I was 10 at the time. I remember most of these. What a great time to be a kid.
Me too. ❤️
Same here
Yup, better quality, better service, better times
Yup. I was 11 and remember a lot of these as well.
I'm so glad to be a 80s kid. We didn't have all this technology now but all I needed was my Nes and shopping for new games and going to rent them and my skateboard. It was definitely a different world then.
I feel so incredibly lucky growing up in the 80s and 90s. My childhood was a blast. The world we live in now is a sad, scary, cold place.
Sure is.
Child in the 70s, teen in the 80s, great times, really miss them.
truth😥
lol, no…..it’s not. the 80s were full of misogyny. Women and minorities have come so far. Notice all these commercials are full of white ppl?
The news on this very video had a segment about cambodia's killing fields. Kids today are having an amazing time just like you did. Just like 100 years ago too.
I can't stand a 6 second commercial, but I just sat and watched a half hour worth of thirty year old commercials.
Ha. I just realized I’m more than 28 minutes in 🤣🤪
2 burgers for a buck! Our parents could feed a family of 5 for $5 back then and still afford a mortgage payment, utilities, two cars, yearly vacation and MAYBE a small boat or something.
Awesome
$10 fed a family of 4 at Taco Bell
You have to take into consideration that wages were way lower than.
@@edwoll somewhere along the line something went wrong. $50k a year in 87 is equivalent to $120k a year in 2021. People go to school for 4 years and get a job a making $35k a year nowadays.
@@edwoll yes, but the prices of goods were proportionally lower than current current times as well. Inflation is a real bitch.
Life's so funny. I remember cursing Blockbuster for putting my local video stores out of business back in the mid 90s. Then two days ago I'm watching The Last Blockbuster on Netflix and I'm tearing up, rooting for their survival.
Funny, because that's how I feel about Starbucks now.
If you're lying...
@@Dman3827 that's nothing compared to microtransactions, taxing and even higher fees of today
@@johnnysalazar5163 Exactly.
Blockbuster was Terrible so predatory, they go into a market and undercut the prices, dropping the rental costs to a dollar and the ma and pa stores can't compete... And when they go out of business, blockbuster then owns the monopoly and raises rental to $4 a night. They were horrible business glad they are gone.
I used to get so excited when they had the new movies out at Block Buster video. We felt lucky when they weren't all checked out on a Friday or Saturday night. Those were the days.
Yeah, I loved it. I always got to pick a movie. There’s still a video store where I live but it doesn’t feel the same.
When Jurassic Park came out on video, Blockbuster had a freaking wall of that movie! Several copies!!
80's commercials were so HAPPY.😊😊😊😊😊
Didn't notice they were so cheerful back in the 80s when i watched them. People probably smiled more back then so it looked normal. No this commercials look weird. Like they all on uppers 🙂🙁
@@charrua59 lol
@@charrua59 back when cocaine was prescribed for depression.
@@charrua59 maybe, it's also possible that you were just used to this form of marketing. I was born in 1989, and watching these weirds me out because it all seems so... false. Not that today's ads are any better, but the 80s had a strange hyper happy representation that I don't think was ever true.
@@themacocko6311 Hey, if it works..
Its like stepping back in time.. i miss the 80's
After watching this, my laundry is fluffier, my legs are smoother and I do a 20 minute dance with my orange juice before work each morning!!! Thanks!
Been in a nostalgic mood lately. Watching old commercials, reading old manga and fantasy novels, listening to 80’s rock and metal, it’s good stuff 🎶
1989 Blockbuster...ten thousand tapes in one store
2021 Blockbuster...ten thousand empty stores
Tapes you had to rewind. "Be kind and rewind"... lol
There's only 1 blockbusters that's still open in Bend, Oregon.
WOW!!!! Blockbuster's 🥺
That's unfortunate. Blockbuster Video was a wonderful place to be!
When I was a kid I use to see commercials for a video store called Hollywood video. We never had one of those where I lived
I was 16 and life was so warm and wonderful, good t.v. like this was just a surface reflection of how good.
You said it! “Warm”. When I think about the 90s everything seemed so warm and simple. Furniture and cabinets were usually brown. Colorful couches and lamps were in! Carpeted floors and wallpaper. Nowadays everything is so bland looking. White kitchen cabinets with black and gray. No life, just boring.
Everything was friendlier and more colorful back then. Today, everything is depressing.
@@mywifesboyfriend5741 People had no choice but to communicate and hang out in person. Now, many people are tuned into their phones and stay indoors. Covid made things even worse. I'm gonna make a 90's room! Super nintendo, landline phone (maybe actually get it to work), old school tv, vcr and vhs tapes, etc!!
I miss my childhood in the 1980s, such a simpler time
It really was.
Wow, I miss this era so much! Great time to be a kid. I was 9 or 10.
Exactly. I was around 5
I was 9. I remember. And miss it.
9 here as well. Wonderful time
I miss the 80s.
We all do...
True. Just before I got sent to another town and a horrible school with horrible people in the 90's. (Kids and teachers alike) the 80's were wonderful. I had friends then and never since.
If I had stayed where I was, EVERYTHING would've been better.
I will always miss the 80's.
Awww Perfect Strangers, I used to love that show , nostalgia feels 😭
It's on Hulu! I watch it when I need a good comforting show. It's such sweet and innocent comedy.
It's also on Prime. I actually watched that very episode the other night!
I thought it was hilarious when I was a kid. But, it is even funnier as an adult, when the more subtle humor doesn't whoosh over your head!
@@HealthyandLovingLife really? Oh wow! Gotta check it out
@@CadeD679 lol yeah
Back when I didn't know about the corruption of the world.
Except for AIDS lol
yup, and everything got way more expensive, yet wages stayed same and homeless increases...billionaires and corporations just keep screwin us worse and worse
The world has ALWAYS been corrupt
@@HARRIS2820 agreed, people are always saying times are worse...so not the case, we are just better connected get more info on our world
Back when the world wasn't as corrupt
I believe 1976-2000 was the best time to be alive. Post Vietnam, pre-9/11.
I miss the 80's. Would somebody please invent a time machine so I can go back?
I’d go back and take my kid with me and raise him in the late 80s-early 90s if I could
Me too 😎
@@iidentifyasyourhighness9294 omg I LOVE this idea!
@@chelsea358 it’s his turn to experience the late 80s/early 90s childhood 🙂
Not gonna happen, we are doomed.
I was 11 in '89, so, this brings back all kinds of memories!
I was 15 in 89'. The world we live in today is beyond a travesty.
That's because there wasn't a group of people actively trying to control everyone. The 1% are really out of control.
Yep. We are the damned and the doomed.
@@JessiTheBestiGaming The 1%? Nah, that's too easy an answer. Otherwise "Occupy Wall Street" would have grown legs.
I was 21 in 1989 and it was a fantastic year, really miss those times.
@@CaAnPeSe4ever I was 11. I really wished I could have enjoyed the entire 80s as a teenager and young adult
Reminds me of my dad telling me to go turn the channel knob….and of course adjust the rabbit ears 😂😂😂
The cheap antennas we used to have. 😆😆
My Grandfather had to stomp on the floor to get the channels to come in clear.
In 1989, WE were the remote control!
☝️🧐
Watched this back in the 80s and didn't notice people on commercial where smiling and happie. Must have been more normal for people to smile and be glad back then. 😭
Wow, right out of the gate you've got a McDonald's commercial with so many old TV stars. Stars that I remember from my childhood even though most of them were on TV before I was born (their shows were in syndication and still got airtime in the 80's). Now, they're long gone.
Got me right in the feels.
Back in time, when a McDonald's double cheeseburger actually looked and tasted delicious. When Pizza Hut used to really make it great.
Back then, the burgers were made with real meat and cheese, not processed shit.
The world has gone to shit since 2000 really. I miss the old days.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but wow how far we’ve fallen.
one thing i weirdly noticed was how huge the 'fine print' was on the car commercials. these days its five pages of text in 2 point type that just look like lines on the bottom of the screen
Pizza hut got the best pizza in my opinion..
Both contemporary Domino's and Pizza Hut aren't the same quality.
Awesome commercials!.Love looking back..Sometimes it hurts a little though you know..
i grew up in western new york... walked home from school during the blizzard of 77...still here!
💪 💪 💪
I was 10 in 1989. The way the world is now I get a sense of comfort watching these commercials and even movies from back then.
You and I were born the same year! It’s just mindblowing to see these ads now…
@@5roundsrapid263 I miss back then for sure!
I was 9 but close enough! Teenage mutant ninja turtles was the rage 😍
I miss Richard Simmons, when I was a kid he always made me smile😆
I think he's locked up in his house now and hasn't been seen. There's a podcast about it
It's weird seeing him without the headband.
If i had the money i would lock my self up from this crazy world too!!!😒
He used to annoy me . I had forgot about him
Sweatin' to the Oldies works. I am not ashamed to say I used it and I lost 35 lbs -- along with starving myself lol
My mom was a fan of Richard Simmons Sweating to the Oldies. Had a few of his tapes, lol.
I was five six years old and 88 89 my mom had that same tape we used to dance to it as kids at the time I love Richard Simmons looking back he is hilarious oh to be five or six again I am 37 now
I remember those commercials playing all the time as a kid.
Does anybody know what happened to Richard Simmons? Dude has turned into a hermit as of late.
@@edwardgaines6561
Got old like everyone else. Got health issues like everyone else lol.
I miss the 80's! Like everyone else here... simpler times.
Tv will never be so innocent and family oriented ever again. It makes me want to cry because my children will never get to experience it.
That is VERY true.
It wasn’t family oriented all the time back then. See Dynasty, Dallas, ect.
@@CamaroAmx yeah all those wholesome fat jokes like the beer commercials, don't we miss those? These random men stopping to look at these women's legs.
There's still "family friendly TV shows" out there but parents dont want to be responsible for what their kids watch since there's so much available so they just throw up their hands and let kids watch whatever. I mean, Beavis and Butthead were on at this time and it wasn't for kids.
People just want to pretend like it was better in the past.
Let's see I was 7 in 89 ... See how many of these I remember !🤣 What I do know though is I want the 80s and the 90s back!
Same here!
I think I was 8 or 9 and I remember almost all of them 😅 such good times
The Internet, Social Media, and SJWs really ruined America post-2008.
@@edwardgaines6561 no, only the SJW are responsible for the decline.
I miss the 80's and the 90's most of my family was still alive and well and things were great back than I want to go back in time and just stay there
Watching this and other nostalgic videos to feel better and go back to a time that wasn't full of technology and this Corona bullshit.
Believe it or not I'd take the Corona bullshit over the technology anyday. There's just too damn much of it and it's divided everyone.
Technology has made things better and worse. I'd never give up the internet, but people always looking down at their phones have ruined humanity.
@@mywifesboyfriend5741 totally agree. I think being able to ring anyone anywhere is great and being able to locate people quicker but another major down side is Facebook and things like that which is a part of technology via the internet.
They wanted to be hi tech and did what they could with the tech they had. Gimmicky tech things like laser disc and that NES robot. And projection tvs.. The tech back then was expensive and only for a few. I think its funny you can go to walmart and get a like a 60" tv for $600 and cram in it the back of your Honda Accord when back in the 80s if you wanted a 60" tv it would have weighed hundreds of pounds and cost thousands of dollars and been available only through specialty electronics dealers and maybe catalog stores like Sears. Yep, good time to be a common folk.
Yeah. We had aids pandemic
Oh my god, there’s no way you could make that Genesee commercial at 9:33 today lmao
They'd get sued for sure
Imagine Al Bundy in that situation
Yeah them Lizzo types would get extremely offended.
@@cid2852
Al: “So some fat women got on the elevator today”
Peggy: “Did they break it before or after you insulted one of them?”
Al: “Would ya let me tell the story Peg?”
Peggy: “Al we’ve been married for over 20 years, just sit down and put your hand in your pants already.”
Al: “Gee, if I wanted our daily life to be like our sex life I’d have brought home an inflatable dinner.”
(Darcy walks in, Al starts to open his mouth but Darcy interrupts him)
Darcy: “Save your foul jokes for some other time I’ve got marriage troubles.”
Al: “Let me guess, your new rooster cocka doodle didn’t.”
Peggy: “Al this might be serious!”
Al: “Oh what the hell, after the day I had anything should be better.”
Darcy: “He’s wanting a divorce.”
Al: “Three weeks? And you didn’t even go to Vegas for this one?”
Peggy: “AL!!! Come here Darcy (hugs) and tell me what happened.”
Darcy: “He said I wasn’t enough woman for him anymore.”
Al: “Did you forget add air again?”
Darcy: “For the last time Al these are natural silicone. But he didn’t mean my breasts, he meant he wanted a fat woman.”
(Al starts having convulsions and laughing at the same time)
Peggy: “What? How could he change so suddenly?”
Darcy: “Today his fire station was called in to…”
(Flashback-Fantasized)
(Darcy’s new husband is helping get the fat women from the elevator)
Husband: “You’re the last one.”
Fatty: “Oh thank you white knight. Is there any way I can repay you?”
Husband: “It’s not often I meet a woman so full of life.”
(End flashback)
Peggy: “That’s an odd way to choose to leave your wife.”
Darcy: “Yeah, but it could be worse. There was a man who was trapped for hours with those women. When my husband pulled him out he swore to no longer put shoes on fat women. (She realizes Al must have been that man) What did you do?!?!
(Yes I realize the ending needs work but I don’t have the time right now)
Not to mention trans people may say,maybe he identified as a woman lol
All of these characters were relatable because 98% of America had the exact same channel selection.
ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox and PBS
I was born in 1988 life was so Simple back then
If I could have stopped time and stayed in a year, 88 or 89 would have been it. That was a great time.
@@fehner27 Yeah the old days were the best
I can’t believe sweating to the oldies went for $40 back in the 80’s!
Vhs tapes were very expensive. I remember being shocked when my grandparents got me ET and Who Framed Roger Rabbit on VHS one Christmas. They were a fortune. Titanic was over $60 when it came out on VHS. It’s why blockbuster and other Video rental places were a viable option.
@@CamaroAmx I remember when Titanic was for sale at that price! Oh my gosh, seems like a lifetime ago!
I remember these commercials late August of 89 i had my first child watched a lot of TV 📺 at the end of my pregnancy this is nastolgic for me!!!! because she's all grown up now 😪😭lol..Thank you for this
This is cute
Love it!
I was home pregnant with my 2nd!
Yes, kinda like stepping back in time!
I do too, I was 9 months pregnant with my son in late August of 89’. I was lounging in the recliner a lot watching tv those last 2 hot, miserable weeks. Let me tell you I was ready to give birth, I went 2 weeks pass my due date. I love reminiscing about those happy times in the seventies and eighties. My son is Married now.
@@rufusdusol9453 Nicole was born August 26 89 were OLD🤭 lol.. & your right the 70 s and 80s were the best it will never be like that again!!!😪😭
I was born in 88 Ahhaha
That Blockbuster commercial was like a parody of itself in the best possible way! 😂
"Wow! What a difference. Blockbuster video!" Jeeeeez!!! Haven't heard that line since 1990. Lol.
Just turned 50. I remember most of these ! 😳
I had farmer Weebles as a kid. I remember getting angry because I couldn't knock him down and he would bounce back up. I remember getting frustrated trying to push him down but then he floped back up and I would throw him across the room lol
🎶 Weebles wobble but the don't fall down 🎶
I soooo miss the 80's!
Can it be anymore meta, skipping the RUclips ads to get back to the commercials?
I know right? It takes you off of the ilusion ...
@18:23-"The Elvis Experience": an Off-broadway performance.

I was three. Crazy. I miss the 90s more.
I was 7 in 89, rode a pterodactyl to school every day, and we liked it!
Wow what a dream! Now I’am back to my reality and misery, Have a nice day everyone…
Oh Rick. I’m sorry. Me too. I understand.
Loved the 80’s and 90’s 😎 wish we could go back and do it all over 🎶
We changed too much as well.
Hell no. No f*cking way. Life was easier to a degree, but there was just as many douchebags then as there is now. And have to spend (relive) another 30years to repeat all that? No.
These Genesee beer commercials are my new favorite thing!
Outstanding work all around, thank you for the memories. Honestly, I may have teared up a smidge from the sheer weight of nostalgia.
"I've never seen 10,000 tapes in one store.". And you never will again.
Back when it was convenient to drive to a video store to rent VHS tapes that you could keep for 3 days and have to rewind before you brought them back. I remember these times, and yes, we DID think they were convenient. I used to love renting Super Nintendo games from Blockbuster in the early 1990s.
VHS tapes still are convenient, you can use blank ones to record like a DVR
@@nickm5419 I haven't even owned a VCR since 2000, and I'm not young at 41, so you can imagine what zoomers must think.
Agreed. But the game selection at Blockbuster on a Friday was scant.
@@MarkMcDaniel Yep, it sure was. That feeling when all the good games were taken and you had to rent SimAnt or Romance of Three Kingdoms as a 10-year-old.
@@Nightweaver1 -- Sometimes you found games that were more fun than you thought they'd be. For example, I rented Bomberman 64 from a Blockbuster, and even though it was short, it was a fun game.
Awwww.. I miss the 80s.😩😣😞😢😭👏👏👏👍😄😁.
I still use the term, "Sweatin to the oldies" lol
It doesn't matter what generation a person is from, most people miss "their" good ol' days.
Each generation brings something unique. And when that "original" starts to change, people grieve.
I was born in 80 and I only remember a quarter of the commercials. I of course remember the cartoons like they were yesterday.
Seems good to see that McDonald's commercial with Grandpa from the Munsters
And Herman did the voice in the Genesse commercial around 10 minute mark
Dead now.
That's so crazy. I remember the Solo commercial, that "I forgot to add the fabric softener!" line. But I totally didn't remember that it was Olive Oyl!
I was born in 1990 and I still come here to forget about 2021
On this day in 1988, I was having a helluva good time, I'm sure.
Who cares
My fave commercials to watch as a kid in the 80s were cereal, toys and laundry. Miss those times. 😪
It took several seconds before I noticed ads interrupted my ad watching experience.
i miss 89. id have been 5 years old.
Your my age.
This makes my heart hurt.
Ahh! The smell of Blockbuster Video still in my nose!
'88... at that time I was 7 and I would spend time with a girl up the street; we earned the nickname "Raggedy Ann and Andy". My memory of how we passed the time is not clear, I just hope I didn't spend time "playing Dress up" LOL! and oddly we didn't pass the time watching TV.
It's been years since I last saw her and even longer since we last talked. Amazing how childhood friends drift apart.
My best friend from first grade and I follow each other on Instagram. But life just doesn't have that magic anymore. When anything felt possible
81 kid in the house!
My goodness, this is a slap in the face of retro memories.
Life was so much better in these days
This is a nice break from reality. Thanks for the upload!👍
I remember renting Nick Jr. and Scooby-Doo tapes from Blockbuster
Richard Simmons I miss him I never had a problem with my weight but what he did for so many people should be honored! He is a great American 🇺🇸
I was in rehab years ago, and they made us exercise to Richard Simmons every morning, first thing. I got clean in that rehab and have been in recovery 30+ years now.
I grew up in southern Ontario, the American cable feeds were all from Buffalo- so this is double nostalgic. (Why was there always a fire in Tonawanda?)
Hurt in a car? Call william Mattar
Because the city of Tonawanda can best be described as a raging dumpster fire
Thanks for this one. These were local to me and I probably watched a lot of them when they originally aired on the tv. Brings me back to better times and my wonderful 80s childhood.
Ahh!! A masters of the universe fan!
@@dang75790 Yup, lifelong. But only of the 80s variety. I was aghast at New Adventures in 89/90 and even more appalled currently by the modern stupidity injected into everything rebooted from the 80s.
I don't get why people are trying to bring the 80's back. They were a different time, and they're gone forever.
17:22 Optional automatic transmission. Nowadays most manufacturers don’t even allow manual as an option.
Oddly enough, the new Bronco still has a stick shift version.
@@5roundsrapid263 as a 7 speed (1st gear is a crawler gear, useless in normal daily driving)…… got to be weird with the shift pattern. Then again it was probably the same way when 5-speeds and 6-speeds came out.
80s commercials were a marketing teams wet dream. So many memorable commercials with jingles...and without the internet for people to fact check.
Weebles. Such a more simple world back then. At the risk of sounding like every other generation before me, kids today would just never understand.
The 80's truly were a different time.
Holy crap, two burgers for $1 at burger king? We will never ever see those prices again :-(
Lmao even when it was new the Ford escort looked outdated
Still remember seeing many of those broken down on the side of the road 🤣
Yep. I think my uncle had one. MISTAKE.
I remember seeing these on the road and all the other fords. But used cars were dirt cheap, so almost nobody in my family had a new back then. During this time period, My grandmother had an early 80s ford station wagon, my grandfather had a dodge conversion van. My father had 79 CJ7 and then a 79 F250 super cab long bed. My mother had an 89 Daytona, bought with money she stole from my father during their divorce. My youngest uncle (still in high school) had a 71 nova and then a 70 Duster. My 2nd oldest uncle had a 78 ramcharger with a swapped in police spec 440 (he died in the summer of 89 from complications from a leg injury). Muscle cars were everywhere because they were dirt cheap ($300-400 could get you any middle of the road muscle car you wanted at the local car auction).
Yeah, the 91 models were such a leap forward from first gen
I gotta say I’m psyched about all the Jenny’s in these!
Best way to start a commercial, a randomly placed Al Lewis lol
That richard simmons tape was very expensive for that time. I was about ten in 89'
No it wasn’t. Top Gun was nearly $60 when new. The reason for it was that the studios were afraid that home video would kill theater sales, so they charged high prices for the rights to release movies on home video, therefore VHS was expensive. The studios stayed with this pricing strategy until the late 90s.
Oh man I came home from school and watched perfect strangers
Was it really on that early or did you just get out late? I seem to remember that show coming on in the evenings.
@@gofastER I was watching the reruns
I could watch these for hours
I remember growing up in the 90s life was so much better back then
My friend Jancey Clark, did the skating for Ryan's sister for the Ryan White story that they mention Judith Light getting upset filming in one of these. Love the kid talking about the trunk space lol btw!
I have always thought that the death of Ryan White was truly the death of the 1980's. He exemplified everything about our country and culture then, only to be struck down by one of the worst plagues of our times.
We entered into a new era and a sadder society after that. One look at Ryan's exhibit in the Indianapolis Children's Museum will show that.
A decade forever lost.
I should go to McDonald's and show them the first video clip and see if they'll still honor that price.
This brought back some great memories for me...thank you
Sure does seem like more simpler times back than.
Man I miss my childhood. This would have been around 3rd-4th grade for me.
Double cheeseburger only .89 cents! Wow I was only 2 years old. Life was so simple, now look at inflation eating away at our dollars and a McDonald’s combo is almost $10!🤯
This is insane.
1989: Ingnores, skips, fast forwards, etc through commercials.
2021: Intentionally sits and watches a half hour of those same commercials.
Fred Gwynne is the voiceover for those Genesee beer commercials.
Thank you! I was trying to figure out why I recognized that voice!
