Best decade ever....I was born in 1961. Loved the 80's . graduated from college and went out work. Was close to my family and friends and we talked to each other and went out with each other with no cell phones. We were healthy and more people in the family were alive. Not so many psychos, druggies and people cared for each other and had more patience. No cancel culture. No political backlash. I think of those times everyday and wish we could have time travel. I hate 2023 and the way our country is going. This is the worst I have ever seen it. We have lost control of everything and we all know who is at fault. Also kids today are worthless and don't want to work. Everything is given to them either from their parents or the govt. Cell phones and social media have ruined society. Also back then when laws were broken you went to jail or had to pay for your crime. Now you don't go to jail and there is no bail needed. It's catch and release. I guess it's better than being dead to be alive right now but it's close.

1980's was a strange time for graphics. Allot of people don't realize that what was shown to the market versus what actually really could be done was two different things the same went for movies as well. The main issue was rendering time was incredibly long and whatever cost ontop of that. So it got to be expensive. But back in the day the company I worked for (Oil Company) we had a graphics demo we needed to get done for a project, that involved a lateral drilling product. We plan on basically the better part of the year for the graphics project just for all the rendering time and creation. So we paid a graphics shop to get it done. In the end the end result was beyond anything that most folks have ever seen for the time. Of course everybody was blown away at the graphics. At the time I had no clue they could even produce a end product like that. The guy at the graphic shop stated to the effect. That they could do graphics that went beyond what was noted in the general market place as high tech. He said the only thing was it just takes forever to do it and most graphic places don't want to spend the time doing it either. Sadly I don't have the video of it. The video was highly protected. So trying to get a copy of it was out of the question and could cost you your job. So i choose not to take the risk of my job over a graphics video. Anyways just some tidbit of information for ya.

Spoiler alert. JR does eventually lose control of Ewing oil.

[@cdd4248]

Hahaha haha! That made me laugh!

[@J-ZIM]

lol...and who shot JR?

[@kxmode]

Well, thank you for ruining it! 😫

[@RenzWilde-Muzik]

Director: So, we're going to drop two trucks from the sky recklessly close to you, most likely endangering your life. Actor: Let's do this!

Arm and Hammer detergent goes pretty hard, honestly.

I can't wait for the new episode of Dallas

[@ronswansonsdog2833]

That Halston ad has a timeless aesthetic.

[@edie9330]

I don't remember any of these commercials. I was too busy watching MTV and partying on the weekends. Fun times!

[@MountainMan.]

Love the Charles in Charge promo. What a great time to be alive.

[@SoapinTrucker]

This is about right, 40 minutes of commercials, 20 min of show! LOL That is EXACTLY how it seemed!!!!!!

[@ericjones1796]

Thank for showing this, I like this, it bring back memories.

Nothing made you want to interpretive dance like a Dodge Lancer😀

14 in 1985. These commercials took me back to that time and frame of mind. I was sooo excited to grow up, eager to be like these beautiful career girls on these ads. I’m well past being “all grown up”. Now-I sooo wish I could go back to 1985.

Takes me back to my teen years

[@jackiehoward7300]

I would have in middle school. As I turned 14 I’m 1985 in November of that year. Back then my life was not that happy. The only thing I’d ever want to have back from then would be my grandmother. Love you Granny.

[@itsdefinitelytrue7600]

In 1985 everyone was like oh man I don't want to see these commercials and now we're like oh awesome look commercials from 1985❤😂

[@sandygrimes7196]

Anyone here grew up as teen in the 80s? God what great times, no political correctness, no being offended, no cancel culture, didn’t have to keep your eyes pasted to a cellphone all the time, class of 86’..❤️

[@jelatinosa]

Weird. Who's forcing you to be offended and glue your eyes to your cellphone? Sounds like a choice to me.

[@cdd4248]

Yes! Live Music was our entertainment, if anyone wanted you, they left a message. No one to video tape your every move and you hung out with your friends not pretend on-line! I so miss it!

[@sandygrimes7196]

[@melissavazquez2953]

My favorite year...

[@Shannonkay2023]

I miss jingles. 🎵 Now the commercials today just use songs as background music.

[@silencedogood9747]

People aren't as creative as they once were.

[@bradford_shaun_murray]

and what crappy condescending preschool level garbage today's ad music is

[@patrickm7483]

I am from Omaha and would have been @ 10 years old in 1985. Amazing how many memories came flooding back including the anchors for the news stations. Also, after watching the dancing at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1677">27:57</a> I, too, may have been ok with banning after hours dancing if that is what we had to look forward to!

[@SONJASAVEDBYGRACE]

I’m from Omaha as well and I’m a year older than you

[@steveb9151]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="11">0:11</a> Sorry...it's gonna take a lot more than lilting synths and slow-motion dancers to sell me on the Dodge Lancer. How did the FCC ever let them get away with using words like "sleek" and "captivating" to describe that beast?

[@cdd4248]

Hysterical! Hahahaha

[@Kimberly-hk6kp]

[@Arctic_Falcon]

Sadly, compared to today's cars (anything by Toyota for instance), that Dodge monstrosity is somehow now attractive.

A lot of people must have been congested back then...

Yep, people's medicine cabinets were stocked with the stuff; I know my parents & I had quite a few different brands in the 1980's:-).

Pay phones. People used public pay phones like it was nothing. All those germs from different people. 🤢

Growing up my dad always had a handful of halls cough drops in his pocket. Grew up thinking I would need that when I get older only tog row up and wonder what the heck? lol

[@gluserty]

@@plantpoweredmuscle I was into the same habit with cough drops for quite some time before switching to Altoids, but I've leveled off on that as of this moment as well. I'll probably go back to it though!
