So glad people put these old commercials out on RUclips, it’s great to watch and relive my childhood, go back to a time where life was better and no signs of COVID-19.
Miss & loved the 80s so much. Commercials back then had heart & soul. Kids nowadays dont play outside anymore. Everything we did as a child is now something they do on a screen without getting up...
+Tyler Preston IT SURE IS ! I REMEMBER HER ON LETTERMAN AND THEY SHOWED THAT COMMERCIAL. TAKES US ALL BACK TO KIDS REMEMBERING RIGHT WHERE WE WERE,,,MOST LIKELY IN OUR LIVING ROOMS WITH TREE LIGHTS ON ONLY WATCHING TV WITH OUR FAMILIES !!! LOVE THESE !!
It still reminds me of being home from school, sick with a fever, having The Price is Right on in the background. Now they play Empire commercials back east (non WGN), it's just weird. People there don't get the nostalgia involved.
THANKS!!! I was born in 1982 and love looking at nostalgic stuff. It is interesting watching these t.v commercials from across the pond! I now know what a Tootsie pop and Tootsie roll is (I think!) I thought it was bog roll or something! :-D Drew Barrymore is cute in that Rice Crispies t.v ad.
I'm wondering if there is a specific date for these commercials, it would have to be before december 12th if so based on one of the sales ending in one of the ads. hmmm..
2:55 There's an art to brewing in God's Country, a land flowing with milk and honey...that you can still add to our finest alcoholic beverages which God created and made, same as he did tobacco and firearms, and everything else considered immoral and illegal in his Bible!
i dont get the whole E.T game sucks meme.....probably because im only 25 so Atari is before my time...but to me all Atari games look like that to me(not saying thats a bad thing i just saying thats how most video games were of the era). so i dont get how E.T is different then any of other game of the time..my mom has one of those Atari replica plug and plays...and i remember seeing my cousin play it all time when he came over...some of the games he played seemed very similar to what the ET game looks like.
+girlstorm09 as someone who was there, i'll tell you gladly. long story short: the ET atari game was very heavily pitched as *the* game to own, and when kids started getting it, they realized it SUCKED....like, really badly. it was utterly god-awful for lots of reasons, chiefly because there were no instructions, it was completely counter-intuitive, and the sound and graphics were legit crappola. there were even rumors that the remaining copies of the game (which quickly stopped selling after christmas) were buried in an arizona landfill, but that's just an urban legend.....or is it >:D
roflmows Not that it sucked, but think: for the most part what kid in the early-80s actually read instruction booklets for Atari 2600 games? This, and Raiders of the Lost Ark (another hyped movie license for the system that tanked just as bad) literally REQUIRED players to read said manuals, just to understand how to play the game. Not reading the manual left kids with no way of knowing what to do, making them frustrated and upset, making parents return said game.
So, you refuse to even read the instructions to learn how to play it? Even the AVGN himself later said it was genuinely too complex a game for its time. Yes, it was hyped up too much, but what'd you expect from something based on the top children's film of the 1982 Christmas Season? You want an E.T. game on Atari that was really bad? "E.T. Phone Home" for the 8-bit computer line. I'd rather play the 2600 game over that, and I own both.

The Toys R Us commercial made me sad.
Geesh -- $33.97 for the biggest piece of junk for a video game ever made.

Red Lobster -- Saudi Prince Talal's favorite restaurant in the US.
I wonder how the strawberry shortcake cerial tasted like cuz in the commercial it looks nasty.
