1983 Xmas Commercials

[@proeyebry]

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.

[@timothyd1]

[@reggiewilliams4246]

So agree with you. I wish I could go back in time. I don't like the world today Lol

[@robertwhite9898]

That’s a true statement! I was around then ! Now days the holiday season seems to be too commercialized.

[@bd764]

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.

[@robertwhite9898]

Yes 🙌

[@joeabraham2363]

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

[@martinr8278]

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

[@robertwhite9898]

Oh yes by far !

[@CS-ys4sy]

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.

[@Diskoboy1974]

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

[@nadeemathar4226]

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.

[@tiffanycurtis4794]

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☺

[@reggiewilliams4246]

Yep I was born in 71

[@StormsongK]

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

[@Charles-Anthony]

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

[@dieselrotor]

I grajitated in 83 LOL . Seams like another world.

[@bqkmg2037]

Lol..I too graduated from high school in 1983...wow the world was so different back at that time.

[@dieselrotor]

Ben, who would have thought We would enjoy these someday ? Sure is fun to go back in time though. Take care.

[@reggiewilliams4246]

@@bqkmg2037 I came out in 89 and the world was a better place then lol

[@premedstudent20]

Good times back then

[@azshaw123]

Amazing,Thank you

[@deerfish3000]

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.

[@schroeder8911]

Reminds me of a perfect breakfast: Your son is on the front of the Wheaties box and your wife is on the back of the milk carton.

[@azshaw123]

No insurance garbage here!

[@fruitofthejoot]

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!

[@santiagogarza4110]

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

[@paulallen954]

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

[@SuperLexusman]

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

[@gigi4ey]

Crayola Caddy! I had one of those! :)

[@ericzerkle5214]

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

[@jdwelborn]

They're here...

[@wt2650]

Ah, Back when we had analog TV. :)

[@davidwright4495]

Remember that. And we had 3 channels 3,6 and 10.

[@rellik187redrum]

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

[@dinahliang4419]

"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.

[@imj2024]

I was 4

[@ericzerkle5214]

I was almost 10.

[@williamf.buckleyjr3227]

"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?!

[@talkieful1710]

Do you remember the chick-let gum factory board game? Came with chicklet gum.

[@Tricorvus]

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

[@annacraven7847]

When kids were allowed to believe in Santa.

[@fordsrule35]

True. People today aren't the same.

[@Renaki0586]

I don't care what anyone says, if I'm fortunate enough to have kids in the future, I'm telling them all about Santa and the ways I used to spend Christmas when I was their age. I plan on passing down those traditions to them...believe me I miss those days :'3

[@DBradshaw25]

I think it's more accurate to say that the internet has spoiled children believing in Santa. Everything is out there now, so it's a lot tougher to conceal some of those fantasy traditions. Anything and everything is a google search away....

[@reggiewilliams4246]

@@Renaki0586 I really miss those days too

[@jameysummers1577]

Kids were allowed to believe in santa, yes! Also, kids were also allowed to play outside, and eat Mc.Donalds, and lots of other kid stuff. Kids were actually allowed to be kids.

[@miketroncin749]

Freezing 6:28 makes on odd picture.

[@rscjsc02]

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.

[@ScoopexUs]

Kids got cereal and crayons for Xmas? Wowee.

[@annacraven7847]

When Ronald McDonald was allowed...

[@keptyeti]

... to ice skate with children.

[@jennymarie3645]

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

[@fatfoxclown]

so thats what US1 was all I remembered was he was in a lousy comic that linkara mentioned and marvel still have the driver or US one

[@asl126]

SO TRUE!!!!!

[@cheapthrilll6323]

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.

[@vincentleeadams]

Children LOVE creepy clowns.

[@jeffwilson6522]

The girl in the rice krispies commercial..is that the girl from Poltergeist?

[@rscjsc02]

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

[@rellik187redrum]

Please accept me lord

[@blueshirt06]

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

[@coult45usmc]

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.

[@orangenblue6981]

Totally agree. SUPER creepy

[@pheenobarbidoll2016]

Nah, he's just a ginger dork

[@kcjive]

You need help dude

[@Davidjon1946]

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
