1982 Christmas TV Commercials (Part 2)

[@JT-1969]

So glad people put these old commercials out on KZbin, it’s great to watch and relive my childhood, go back to a time where life was better and no signs of COVID-19.

[@santiagogarza4110]

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...

[@PrettyGirl-mj6yt]

This world will never be the same.

[@ZetaLove]

Memories of the times when life was simple, and not so explicit!

[@tigermaximus8003]

true to that!;)

[@tigermaximus8003]

love toys are us!;)

[@thomasfrye8996]

I love how they give Christmas presents to people without the battery cover on them. And who else remembers k-tel records?

[@janellirving4625]

We have a K-tel record at home.

[@Antpeople1]

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.

[@kittshigh]

Old Rice Krispies Commercial The Little Girl Was "Drew Berrymore" The Girl Who Worked On E.T.

[@Antpeople1]

+Tyler Preston Yes, I noticed that too!

[@kittshigh]

[@stephenjones9987]

+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 !!

[@jeremydes100]

I desperately wanted a snoopy electric toothbrush!!

[@dhoerst]

The Toys R Us commercial made me sad.

[@ouackstrax]

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.

[@ebonygentleman79]

1:30 Frankie Faison selling Crest toothpaste. He was the landlord in Coming To America & the FBI Chief in White Chicks.

[@PrettyGirl-mj6yt]

ebonygentleman79 And the brother & uncle in the Movie "Madea's Family Reunion."

[@unclebugspayton]

1982: Mom these commercials are great! 2020: Mom these commercials are offending

[@JB3AZ]

The last video with the news break sounds like it could have been made today. LOL

[@2linepass1]

Hahaha the ET Atari cartridge. My younger sister had that game.

[@MrsJenBardall]

Oh my gosh - Drew Barrymore in that Rice Krispies commercial. She was so cute!

[@dalemulholland9114]

Today if a football player had a boy in the shower room hed be hauled off to jail..what a lousy screwed up time we now live in....

[@Longinius1]

[@jeremydes100]

[@donkique956]

The Pay No Mind List that made no sense.

[@abefroman70]

That Empire commercial, the guy had no safety harness!! OSHA!!! Lol And the beer commercial said God's country! Man have times changed for the worse.

[@QJC2014]

Abe Froman still is God's country to me

[@brentmann2988]

1:00 Michael Bell on the voice-over for Red Lobster.

[@towhead72]

Wow...Tracey Gold, (Carol Seaver on "Growing Pains") in the Parkay ad! She's the one in the red nightshirt.

[@somethingstrange2576]

Wow i'm gonna go grab that french style rotary phone tomorrow that's a great deal

[@TayInTheWay]

That's Tracey Gold in the Parkay commercial, yes?

[@MLaker221]

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..

[@LenaAndreia]

My GOD. The Empire carpet jingle--AND THEIR PHONE NUMBER--haven't changed in 30 years. It just sounded... Depressed back then.

[@elphantomrebel]

Oh my God there's an Empire Today commercial!

[@NightSprinter]

Elphantomrebel "888-588-2300: Empiiirrree!!! Today!"

[@caesar349]

Elphantomrebel lol!!!! Saw your comment exactly when that came on. I guess it shows Empire does good business

[@skival]

OMG! ET was $33????

[@silvereagle2061]

Aww Drew Barrymore

[@bertmustin]

Why is there a kid in the Colts locker room?

[@verawilliams1208]

i guess they needed a kid in the audition details for the part. is that what you mean?

[@trupa2020]

Skip to 7:06 and hear what she says about the illegal aliens.

[@themistocles4683]

Even then the Democratic-held Congress were still trying to pass amnesty for illegals.

[@madshaolin]

Geesh -- $33.97 for the biggest piece of junk for a video game ever made.

[@joefisher6810]

Are these from my I remember that jingle fr ok m empire carpet

[@caesar349]

4:13 damn just about all those stores are now gone

[@ThomasSellers]

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!

[@ericzerkle5214]

LMAO the Parkay add i remember well..

[@jgkidd82]

I was seven months old then.

[@chucksucks8640]

I think the tootsie roll commerical still plays today.

[@gonzaleo]

Nothing changes but the name of the Prez….. 6:49

[@Mmogamerfr]

[@peachmarie6079]

I have never been to a Red Lobster. :P...How old is that Tootsie Pop commercial?...That Strawberry Shortcake cereal looks good.

[@HardRockMiner]

What skyline is that in the "McDade's" commercial...? Seriously. I looks like WTC post 911.

[@Longinius1]

did no one use battery covers?!? lolz

[@mst3kanita]

Longinius1 my thoughts exactly!

[@spazeparanoids7345]

Duuuh its to show the battery

[@elphantomrebel]

1982 is when the video games died.

[@Contractnik]

Red Lobster -- Saudi Prince Talal's favorite restaurant in the US.

[@bb-gc2tx]

back when commercials were realistic

[@pzeud0nym]

That car isn't going to go very far with that Duracell® 9V battery sticking way out of the chassis and grinding on the ground beneath it >:[

[@MJisLove4life]

I wonder how the strawberry shortcake cerial tasted like cuz in the commercial it looks nasty.

[@littlehouse15]

Where is God's Country? I think I wanna vacation there. lol

[@stormgirl09]

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.

[@roflmows]

+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

[@jeremydes100]

It's kind of like telling you about a burger shop..it's the best around and then you find out they use frozen burgers!! It was JUST like that!!

[@NightSprinter]

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.

[@ericzerkle5214]

Because it SUCKED!!!!! Overrated and over hyped....

[@NightSprinter]

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.

[@andreaebarb7668]

Not one thing gay❤

[@NOTODIVERSITY123]

American ads........not for me.......

[@Contractnik]

God, the ET game SUCKED.
