Good times lost! 80s were the best decade in practically every way, music, movies, tv etc

The memories I had of Christmas Day 1983 was getting a Matchbox brand Peterbilt police tow truck, Plymouth Gran Fury police car, Kidco's Burnin' Key Cars that were Magnum PI themed ( a Ferrari and a Honolulu Police car) and a GI Joe Radio which reminds me that either I lost it or it got tossed away in the trash either that year or sometime in 1984.

That little blonde girl looked like Heather O Roarke.🙂

"Ya don't have to know how to read or count to play Candy Land." . . . . . . . Did he just say that.....like it's a GOOD thing?!

Memories

I cranking up the DeLorean right now, anybody want to head back with me. Pls leave your cell phones behind.

CHRISTMAS BACK IN THESE DAYS. AND IN THE 70'S WHEN I WAS BORN WERE ABOUT FAMILY NOT A MATERIAL POSSESSION LIKE IT IS TODAY☺

I bet you Ronald McDonald that clone begin a very very horrible relationship with a child he was holding in his video I guess it probably ended ugly

I must be really bored to be sat here watching this... 😀

I was 5 in 83 i remember laying on the floor playing with my toys watching simon and simon sure wish we could b back in the 80s now.the music was great all the tv shows just so simple back then

I had the Crayola Caddy and let me tell you, it was awesome and I LOVED it!!! Probably got it for Christmas in '83, or birthday in '84.

I remember Xmas 1983 very well.I was 19,but still had that magical feeling all around the house as I did when I was 5.

They're here...

Its interesting that in these nostalgic collection of commercials, the crayola ad was using nostalgia to sell their products. Also, i always hated that McDonald's ad with the ice skating.

Kids got cereal and crayons for Xmas? Wowee.

2:45 Ronald McDonald is the most disturbing looking clown I've ever laid eyes on. I can't understand why anyone in their right mind would have thought he would be great for a marketing campaign.

I grajitated in 83 LOL . Seams like another world.

When kids were allowed to believe in Santa.

When Ronald McDonald was allowed...

Children LOVE creepy clowns.

Good times back then

5:43 heck yeah US 1 trucking.... I had that and still have it..

4:34 Grissom AFB when it was an actual full time AFB not a watered down skeleton of its former self like today!!!

:(

Who's the boy in the Pro Audio commercial??? Looks so familiar, can't place him!

Peter Billingsley playing Candyland

I was 4

"Now I remember!" at 0:23 😂 It sounded so childish. I wish I sounded like that still. #RiceKrispy No one can forget that cereal, surprised it's still being sold to this very day.

This is my birth year. #83baby

Where is doc brown so i can use the time machine & take me back 2 January 1st 1980 thru December 31st 1989..

Wow before al digital and touch screens and cell phones texting was invented

Love the absence of lawyer commercials looking for money from lazy ass people looking for money

There was so much more love and caring in the old commercials. We have lost our Hearts! So glad to have been a child in the 70's & 80's! At least I have the memories.

Freezing 6:28 makes on odd picture.

Candyland is actually a 70s commercial because that boy is Peter Billingsley looking much younger than in a Christmas Story movie which came out in 1983 and he was much older that year!

I'm just sitting here, watching these old commercials, playing with my Rubik's Cube.

@Jeff Wilson: sadly, no, I googled it. I wondered as well... that was not Heather O'Rourke

Please accept me lord

I will return to this time soon!!!!!!!

No insurance garbage here!

haha i so remember my crayola caddy

Ummmm...nope. Never seen it. LOL :)

Sounds like you've watched "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" way too mant times.

Ah, Back when we had analog TV. :)

Amazing,Thank you

You do realize that denoting the holiday as 'Xmas' is NOT taking 'Christ' out of Christmas don't you? "Originally the X was not an X as we use it in the English alphabet; it was the Greek letter chi which looks very similar to an X. The Greek letter X (chi) is the first letter of the Greek word for Christ, Xristos ( Χριστός) so Xmas therefore means "Christ's Mass" which is what the word Christmas actually means." So, yeah. Don't get your knickers in a knot.

SO TRUE!!!!!

Well spotted. What a voice...he makes everything sound like Schoolhouse Rock. What great memories!

Bob Dorough is singing on the crayola commercial. You've heard him on such Schoolhouse Rock songs like... 3 is a Magic Number, Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, Get your Adverbs Here and many others.

Christmas '83... The year I got my Commodore 64!
