For the absolutely *massive* milestone of Volume 1000 I've chosen to present two separate blocks of ads recorded mainly from Transformers during the summer of 1985! Each part is self-contained. Part 2 can be seen here: ruclips.net/video/9S_g9hawDW4/видео.html Thanks to all of my loyal viewers and commentators!
I don’t say this enough, but your channel has gotten me through some pretty rough times over the years. Thank you for continuing to give us the goods in a regular basis. I am deeply deeply thankful for this channel and I congratulate you on 1000 chapters of the series.
This episode has to be among the best I've seen yet on this channel. I was three when these commercials aired and they are among my first memories of TV. I haven't seen many of them since I was a kid and yet I still remember them. I distinctly remember in that Lots-a-Lots-a-Leggggggs commercial at 4:48 wondering why there was a clicking sound when the girl was playing with the antenna. It was in this era my parents decided to wean me off of toddler toys started to buy me some of these toys, like GoBots, but they were careful not to buy me anything too extreme like Thundercats. In fact, I was prohibited from watching the cartoon, yet I'd go over to my friend's house and watch it behind my parents backs, as well as Voltron, Masters of the Universe and Silverhawks - they were so edgy. Good times.
I may still be stuck in the 200s 300s section of commercials, but I've subscribed to you since 2008 when you started with only 100 to 200 videos worth of commercials. Thanks for making these for nearly 15 years now. Also, congrats on getting 105,000 subscribers.
1000 Volumes! You have truly brought so much joy into people's lives with your uploads. I personally discovered you way back in 2008, and I knew I found something special. These old commercials are so entertaining and put me into such a good mood. It's so relaxing to watch these old ads, and many others seems to feel the same way. Your videos taught me how everything works together to make great television; the shows, bumpers, and of course, the commercials. When ads are done well like everything you've uploaded, they can make a great show even better; and bring back great memories for others. Through their creativity, good writing, and unique structures and styles, these ads got people to tune in, helped pay for so many shows throughout the years, and were such entertaining experiences that people actually DID want to see the ads. Thank you so much for everything you've done to preserve this great history. You've shown people that viewers WON'T skip the commercials if they're done well, and inspired people by compiling all these unique interpretations of creativity and approaches of capturing what makes life cool. Here's to another 1000! Congratulations.
It’s interesting to see that variety of prizes and offers that cereals offered back then, watching the majority of the cereal commercials in this part of the volume. It’s especially fitting to offer free Dairy Queen sundaes and Wendy’s Frosties at this time period when summer and the hot weather are just getting started. A shame to see that cereal companies don’t offer things like that anymore. “Gremlins” Drunk Driving and Anti Drug PSA- Watching Gizmo’s reactions to the old man’s lecture on Drunk Driving and Drug Usage is so cute, that, it puts a smile on my face every time.
Yay! I've been watching 80's commercials since my 1st year in college up until now. This is the best and fascinating RUclips channel ever 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations for giving nostalgia
Well well well here we are at volume 1000, and you gifted me some peak early childhood, and from my local Pix 11 too! Transformers, Lotsalegs, Joe's, the Evil Horde preview ad, Voltron bumpers, the Gremlins PSA, *and* a rousing round of the Westchester County Fair! I almost fell bad, I mean, I didn't get you anything! Congrats, Vault, and thank you for sharing your time machine with us!
A time machine built in our devices to take us where we want to go. This decade was simply the best. Oh how I wish I could go back to the 80s, and stay there.
WPIX! Awesome way to kick off 1000 80s videos! I loved seeing all the Sunday morning stuff here - Channel 11 had everything here and The Three Stooges! Plus the 1970s Sunday Morning Movie intro from Dolphin Productions - Abbott and Costello movies every week! THANK YOU for the One Dumb Move anti-drug PSA! The rapping teacher was on nearly every day in 1985 and this was such a BIG 80s memory for me watching cartoons and channel 11 was the only station in New York that ever had it! I found out he was a DJ in the Buffalo area and it was released as a radio single! There was also a 60 second version of this ad that aired on WPIX. The Westchester County Fair was ANOTHER ad that was on everywhere through the 80s and even into the early 90s! I loved all the other WPIX moments here too the fireworks bumpers, the technical difficulty and the ads with Henry Tillman's "big ideas!" 11 Alive would be dropped by 1986 and the station would just go by WPIX.
Wow. New memory unlocked. I totally had the McDonald’s Ship boxes. I watch all the videos on this channel and thought there was nothing left to unlock that I didn’t already remember. Crazy that after 1,000 videos this channel got me again.
28:40 - Never saw this back in the day, but given how much I loved Gremlins back then, I would have done anything Gizmo told me, so this PSA would have been perfect.
Congratulations for this 1000th 80's commercial compilation. You made a great job during all these years. More than entertainement, it's cultural preservation.
I started watching Transformers and other afternoon cartoons about a month later after moving. The Go-Bots commercial in the middle of an episode of Transformers represents my own shift from one of the toys to the other. Those afternoon cartoons and commercials for their toys definitely influenced me to want about four different toy lines all of a sudden. I have heard people who swore that Blaster was a real working radio, either because they thought it was and did not have it, or they just forgot. The lifestyles of the rich and famous used to be so distant and a little intriguing before they started connecting with adoring and imitating "followers" on social media.
Congrats on 1000! I absolutely love your channel… brings back soooo many wonderful memories!! I had a Real Baby doll. Let me tell you, she was heavy lol I loved her but not as much as I loved my Cabbage Patch dolls!!
How in the heck did I miss the Bronx Fair? I was working a construction job at E.149 st. for a month before the fair in '85 I did go to the Westchester County Fair though... Congratulations on vol. 1000🎉
watching all these commercials is a stress reliver sometimes i let myself go and tears run down my face great time to be alive during this time i cant thank you enough 😭😘
Oh my goodness! I have been subscribed to your channel for at least 10 years. I remember watching the very first 80s commercial set. Watching these videos are therapeutic for me and I’m sure for many other people. Here’s to 1000 more! 🎉🎊🍾
Wow! Congratulations on your 1000 volume! I enjoy watching your videos, especially the 80s commercials……… Brings back my childhood memories… Best decade ever!
Cheers to Vol. 1,000! This channel is one of the internet's treasures and the care and dedication you've put into making this such an informative and entertaining archive over the years is tremendous and very appreciated. Here's to another 1,000!
Congrats on the 1000th of these! Been watching your stuff since even before this account was made so it's crazy that we've finally landed here. More than a quarter into this, I can tell that you picked SUPER well for Part 1 of this incredible milestone. Very, very classic 80's stuff here. Bunch of classics, bunch of not-so-classics, some unintentionally hilarious ones and even some mind-meltingly weird ones (the "Firffels" toy-line doesn't seem that weird, but the presentation of the ad is extremely, EXTREMELY weird and jarring from its focus to its editing so it's certainly gonna stick in my mind from now on). I've loved having these things be played sometimes while I do errands around the house and to usher in special occasions or times of year echoed in these that I also celebrate so yeah, thank you beyond thank yous for your service and congrats.
"My Country, 'Tis of Thee" is a patriotic anthem dating back to 1832. It does share the same melody of "God Save the King" but it's been an anthem here for nearly as long as "The Star Spangled Banner" which did not become our official national anthem until 1931. It was almost certainly chosen for this ad because it contains the phrase "Sweet Land of Liberty".
Congrats on 1000 volumes! 😅 You have done a great service with your channel and hope to see many more volumes. Plus I must add that this first part of the 1000th volume is a real treat for 80s kids like myself.
8:38 I remember playing with those in my Elementary school class in 93-95. We had the Iron Sheik, Big John Studd & I Think Hulk Hogan ones. I was always Iron Sheik. "The Sheik, Numba One! Iran, Numba One!"
33:11 - This girl has the power to make her fantasies a physical reality, and she uses her ability to create a sugar cereal? She really needs to think bigger.
yup. As a Long Islander I remember the distinct '1812 Overture' ad break intro and 'Flight of the Bumblebee' outro. At least NOW I know that's what they were; as a kid I thought the outro was broken! XD
Ive been watching every single one you have posted. Thank you for bringing these fond memories. I especially love the NYC commercials. Brings me back to my childhood.
I know this is late; however, congratulations on 1000 volumes! I have been a fan for over 10 years and watching these videos take me to my happy place. Thank you!
12:29 I had the original Capsela in '83. It had motors and batteries inside the pieces, then you could attach floaters and propellers to them to make motorized water toys. Then water soon got inside the pieces, rendering them useless. Heh. Which is probably why they ditched the electrical stuff to make this set here.
Dial-A-Muppet-imagine had Statler & Waldorf answered 🤣 Speed Riders-if the Fast & Furious franchise were to start in the 80s,this wouldve probably been the tie-in Anti-Drug PSA-student at @6:11 was definitely following along G.I.

I have a great deal of nostalgia for Boys' Club. It was essentially summer daycare for my brother and I. I remember playing Zaxxon and Choplifter arcade games alllll the time there. And I swear, girls' toys of the '80s (like Real Baby) seemed to be intended on preparing girls for motherhood. For Pete's sake, let them be kids at least a little while longer! Meanwhile, us boys had battle toys (like G.I. Joe and Star Wars), which were preparing us for... war, I guess?
I have this very vague recollection of them. I’m guessing they were probably equal or greater in price to actual transformers, and no kid wanted these knock offs when they could get the real thing for the same price.

Congrats on reaching 1000 videos for the 80s decade! My decade of birth. Here’s hoping that the 90s decade will make it to 1000 videos.

“Gremlins” Drunk Driving and Anti Drug PSA- Watching Gizmo’s reactions to the old man’s lecture on Drunk Driving and Drug Usage is so cute, that, it puts a smile on my face every time.
Mostly just seeing Gizmo brings out the cuteness overload
Congrats on 1000 80s volumes! No better yet to celebrate it than 1985!🎉🎉
'85 was an incredible year. Transformers, Thundercats, Misfits of Science, and Street Hawk.
80s was an magical decade in america and of the world
I question the wisdom of calling the dog chicken Firffle Dicken. LOL
Congratulations!
We made it to 1000, as I'm typing this, part 2 just kicked in. Thank you, 80s commercials for the great memories.
I'm impressed that you've reached 1000 videos of just 80s commercials. Congrats and keep it going.
Yay! I've been watching 80's commercials since my 1st year in college up until now. This is the best and fascinating RUclips channel ever 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I knew my longest subscription through this website would thoroughly pay off!
Congratulations!
A time machine built in our devices to take us where we want to go. This decade was simply the best. Oh how I wish I could go back to the 80s, and stay there.
It would be so cool to be transported back to 1/1/80 and live through 12/31/89 and then at midnight be transported back to 1980 in an infinite loop.
WPIX! Awesome way to kick off 1000 80s videos!
I loved seeing all the Sunday morning stuff here - Channel 11 had everything here and The Three Stooges! Plus the 1970s Sunday Morning Movie intro from Dolphin Productions - Abbott and Costello movies every week!

Congratulations on reaching 1000 videos for the 1980s series of commercials!
Wow. New memory unlocked. I totally had the McDonald’s Ship boxes. I watch all the videos on this channel and thought there was nothing left to unlock that I didn’t already remember. Crazy that after 1,000 videos this channel got me again.
14:44 - I used to have a book about that Fird creature. It was called “Who Ever Heard of a Fird”. Never knew it had a toy or was part of a series.
Congratulations on your one thousandth video!!
Congrats on Vol. 1000, been watching since 2008, despite being born in 1999, & being a 2000s kid, I have enjoyed your content, keep it up!
Congratulations on reaching 1,000 volumes of 80s commercials! Here's to many more!
Thank you for preserving history.
28:40 - Never saw this back in the day, but given how much I loved Gremlins back then, I would have done anything Gizmo told me, so this PSA would have been perfect.

Congratulations for this 1000th 80's commercial compilation. You made a great job during all these years. More than entertainement, it's cultural preservation.
7:37 Ah, the irony of a Go-Bots commercial airing during Transformers, mostly because Go-Bots are now officially part of the Transformers universe! 😂
Congrats on 1000 installments! :D
Now, let's shoot for 1,000 more~!!
It’s surreal to imagine a world where OJ was considered a role model; his trial was the first news story that I remember (I was 6).
I was 5 and what a time to be alive, thank you for sharing these bittersweet memories 😢🎉❤
I started watching Transformers and other afternoon cartoons about a month later after moving. The Go-Bots commercial in the middle of an episode of Transformers represents my own shift from one of the toys to the other.

What a milestone! Here's hoping for 1000 more commercials!
Best channel on RUclips! Congrats!

5:04 - Though they’re mainly remembered for a string of bad to mediocre licensed video games, LJN did some cool toys at the time.
Congrats on 1000 videos
Still the greatest
What a way to celebrate Memorial Day with our 1000th video🇺🇸🎊🎉🥳🎈
Congrats on 1000 volumes!
#83 - With the voice of Casey Kasem!

Congratulations on 1000👍🏻That My Buddy doll still creeps me out 😅
Thanks!!!! And great quality!
Congratulations!
Woohoo!! Congrats on 1000, i was literally checking my notifications for the last few months counting the volumes!
Here's to another 1000! (✿^‿^)
Congratulations on 1000 videos! Party time!!🥳 🎉🎈🍕🌭🍔🍟 🎂 🍦 🎆
Here's to a 1000 more. And 1000 90s too.
Wow, Jimmy Snuka AND OJ Simpson! A real murderers' row of celebrities this volume!
Congrats!
12:29 I had the original Capsela in '83. It had motors and batteries inside the pieces, then you could attach floaters and propellers to them to make motorized water toys. Then water soon got inside the pieces, rendering them useless. Heh. Which is probably why they ditched the electrical stuff to make this set here.
5:52- The Sugarhill Gang-inspired anti-drug PSA is a bop.
I had those wrestlers and they were always my barbies boyfriends.
Congrats 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Dial-A-Muppet-imagine had Statler & Waldorf answered 🤣
Speed Riders-if the Fast & Furious franchise were to start in the 80s,this wouldve probably been the tie-in
Anti-Drug PSA-student at @6:11 was definitely following along
G.I. JOE Tomax and Xamot-hopefully theyll be featured in a future movie reboot
Super Friends-getting the weird feeling this will be how James Gunn envisions the eventual Justice League adaptation
LET'S GO! MILESTONE!
12:25- Golden Girl dolls; not to be confused with the Golden Girls which made their debut a few months later 😂
The ironic thing is that now there is a ton of Golden Girls merch, including action figures, but nobody remembers "Golden Girl" at all.
Awesome ❤😊
I have a great deal of nostalgia for Boys' Club. It was essentially summer daycare for my brother and I. I remember playing Zaxxon and Choplifter arcade games alllll the time there.
And I swear, girls' toys of the '80s (like Real Baby) seemed to be intended on preparing girls for motherhood. For Pete's sake, let them be kids at least a little while longer! Meanwhile, us boys had battle toys (like G.I. Joe and Star Wars), which were preparing us for... war, I guess?
I called a 976 number but I didn't get the Muppets.
Lol. I wonder if a kid pushed one number wrong and got a totally different experience.
Wow, I know the Transformers inspired a lot of rip offs, but never heard of the POW-R-Trons.
I have this very vague recollection of them. I’m guessing they were probably equal or greater in price to actual transformers, and no kid wanted these knock offs when they could get the real thing for the same price.
