What an amazing Era we live in! I was 12 in 1980, and I loved the commercials and music from that whole decade. I just realized how many of my dance moves come from that influence. I still bust them out on the floor, and I've had stitches in my chin twice from occasional mishaps. 🤠💥

[@troydavidson9408]

Wow! I didn't know they made professional breakdance boards. That's awesome!!!!!!!!!

[@sirpoppinchuck]

Classic!!! Ha! Ha! Props out to my crew that was representing in commercials, competitions, streets, film "The World famous L.A. Breakers!!!"

[@userAkilonna]

These commercials are cool

[@1985SJW]

When adverts had soul and passion compared to today.

[@benchout8817]

Wow this is so amazing ! Thanks for sharing this, this period music area is so underrated and occulted.

Thank you so much for this awesome compilation! I've been searching for the Naples Chiropractic video for literally years, and had begun to doubt that it even existed.

[@jayaitch7170]

Such a brilliant collection of adverts, you are the breakdance advert master!! Thank you, so many great memories coming back

Classic upload. The younger generation today have no idea how giant the bboy scene was when it arrived, it was everywhere, I mean everywhere. Bboying exploded in the 80's, & then went back to being underground & upped the levels. Then, slowly started rising again around 93 onwards to what it is now. Today's trends are 5 minute TikTok ones, they don't have global cultures like bboying. In my opinion, & the only thing I could say about bboying is this! The moves are far better today, some incredible stuff but, the scene doesn't have the raw atmosphere like we had & it's hard to describe.

[@andyegan1]

@afflulifestyle1784 - times when we actually wanted to watch the commercials - thanks

[@afflulifestyle1784]

@@andyegan1 Very true, but the UK had virtually zero adverts on Bboying, you might have caught a clip of Rock Steady until Breakdance "Breakin" the movie & Beat Street came out, & then you got a few Hip Hop documentaries like Hip Hop History & then Wildstyle. All I know is that it was such an incredible era.

[@andyegan1]

​@@afflulifestyle1784 - any commercials were better to watch then. I put the Weetabix ad on (being from the UK) but yeah not much really in the way of ads. Open Space Bad Meaning Good, Bombin', Electro Rock, Watching Your Name Go By too in the way of film docs

[@afflulifestyle1784]

@@andyegan1 Yeah, those docs were a real insight into the UK scene way back then, I've still got them recorded on VHS. I've still also got the original screening of Wildstyle on VHS from the 80's, when it was shown on channel 4. It is a different version as the scene with Grandmaster Flash cutting up the decks & switching to Bob James - Take Me To The Mardi Gras, has been replaced in all released versions of the movie with a completely different mix. The original Wildstyle movie with that version is rare now.

[@andyegan1]

@@afflulifestyle1784 cool - my Betamax original big box rental has that scene with Flash

Can you track down a link to the Breaker's Mat commercial from 1984 or so? Can't believe I haven't been able to find it online somewhere... Thanks!

[@andyegan1]

The Break Board commercial is in this video towards the end

[@garymeacham7353]

is that loose bruce from breakdance?

[@andyegan1]

yes Bruce Smolanoff, he's in the first two commercials here and he is also in Beat Street, but only for a couple of seconds

[@raymondjblaze7761]

Born in 1998 and commercials were 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥back then! Now they cringe and such an eyesore asf

[@andyegan1]

Born 72' I grew up with classic commercials we enjoyed watching and still love to look back on them. I can't watch them today and have to turn the channel

[@raymondjblaze7761]

@@andyegan1 lucky you you grew up in the best era. My generation is f’ed up. They know nothing about music, they are too far left, superficial, and just str8 up dumb ( know nothing about history, geography, and lack common sense)
