1987 Christmas Commercials Vol. 1

[@PaladinLarec]

I was 11. Probably watched this too. The doublemint twins, the magical santas, those calming voice overs in every commercial. I miss that "feeling" we had back then, when everything was meant to calm and soothe and reassure you. That's missing in everything today. I remember in the early 2000s talking to my grandmother about this; how commercials were getting louder and meaner. I missed when things were lighthearted and sweet. I don't think those times can ever return.

God, the memories...just seeing that CBS Special Presentation intro...wow.

[@reichsfuhrer585]

I really miss the 80's

[@BigBenEightiesMan]

Thank you for posting. I remember alot of these Christmas commercials. Use to love watching Christmas commercials in the 80's. Especially on Saturday mornings during the cartoons. The Oreo Santa commercial almost brings a tear to my eye. I remember trying to sing the little song. The 80's were a great time being a kid.

[@michaelg1009]

Best commercials are from the 80s like i have always said. Thank you for posting.

[@gaialanzer81]

It's funny, watching the Extra commercial and not seeing the commercial in over 20 years, I'm suddenly singing the jingle word-for-word and bobbing my head to the beat. It's kinda strange watching these old commercials, as you think after all these years you forgot a lot of them, then you watch them again and the door to those memories flies open and you are singing jingles and quoting commericals line by line with flawless precision.

[@brillopad6901]

And I'd take 1987 and the entire 80's over the current world any day.

[@peachmarie6079]

Wish they still showed Claymation Christmas.

[@FLPAN1993]

Most commercials today, they call it holiday and not Christmas.

[@joemartin1253]

Its become a pagan holiday in the USA.

[@CasaBellaGirl]

I have this entire set of commercials PLUS Rudolph all on tape. My parents must have taped it in 1987!

[@102metal]

[@Brandon-rq3ys]

*"Be Smart! Don't Start!"* Dad? Did you see this??

[@RadioSpectrumDXer1217]

Omg! I'd give anything to be 13 again back in 1987! Much simpler times. no we didn't have cell phones and a lot of the technology we have today, but we had imagination, kids were allowed to be kids, we actually went outside and played. Yes we did have some technology, even video games like nintendo, atari, etc, and only doctors and lawyers/people with lots of money had cell phones. No internet either.

[@JosephTallent]

Oh lord, Kristen Dunst from Spider-Man is on here!!! 😆 6:22

[@corybee1]

ohh 1987

[@guyfawkesuThe1]

Pastel colors from "Miami Vice."

[@steveasat2]

Santa and Ronald display some unsettling Jedi/Sith powers here. But it's great to remember back when it was Bill Cosby making horrible, terrible career decisions instead of Eddie Murphy.

[@carrotsRgood4you]

Haines Underwear Lmao!!! haha so funny

[@bozcarson7768]

Even though '87 was aired with the "Rudolph" Commercials, I can't get over some of the commercials that were the same in the Year 2048 - to the Year 9000. Even something like this was around in 1989 that had to do with a 1 time thing of 2047 or 8. Even if people have an eye that sees things differently, Reality wise!!.... Hoarders man!!!

[@mitch19872]

nice..thanks for posting. Cool to see Allison Smith in there..always thought she was hot.

[@ebonygentleman79]

2:42 Oh God, I wanted that 7up Santa poster soooooooooo bad as a kid! Is Cherry 7up even made now?

[@markasflood8196]

2:42

[@ed7hanke]

Do you have The Gap's "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" commercial featuring a father holding his daughter (filmed in black and white)? 🎄🤞

[@redbutterflyprincessgeanne4620]

I was born in 1986.

[@Donatello97]

because the 2000's suck. ;) The 80's and early 90's had the most amazing, cozy, out of this world imaginative commercials period. I remember dozens and dozens from the late 80's early 90's. Nowadays, everything is depressing like you pointed out, void of any creativity. it's drab, colorless, overly serious soccer mom 'office' bull shit. WTF happened?

[@christopherfarley4006]

haha doublemint looks like two gay guys and two lesbians... not hating.. gay here but hilarious !!

[@damienspectre4231]

Pre Islamic Britain!!
