70s & 80s Commercials

[@Misfit_Kitten]

Wow! Jingle writers really earned their keep in the 70’s and 80’s. Some of these jingles are more elaborate than songs you’ll find on today’s top 100 charts. Lol

[@peachsangria8704]

you aint lying!!

[@elc1960]

Hey, it takes a lot of hard, hard work to make a record full of AutoTune effects, or to do a hip hop record full of sped-up vocals that sound like the friggin' Chipmunks on crack...

[@manestage5403]

@@elc1960 Hmmm. You know what? I don't even listen to hip hop or pop, but I just took a look at the Billboard top 100 and the entire list is full of what I presume to be trash. So, maybe I just should've said the top 100 of that time? lol

The CBS one good too..all the old stars

[@supercoolyguy]

Great to see John Ritter and pretty much everybody else I can recall. Nice to see Erin Moran in good spirits. How can so much time & change taken place? I miss this type of TV. They actually seem to care and incorporate values into their shows.

1:15:21 - That's a very young Jane Krakowski in the Nestle Toll House cookie mix commercial. And immediately after that, you have something I truly miss from my youth: the Santa-on-a-Norelco electric razor ad they used to show every year at Christmastime. Later on, you have a couple of Sugar Smacks commercials featuring Len Dresslar Jr. (the voice of the Jolly Green Giant) as the voice of Dig 'Em. The Tab commercial has two future celebrities in it: Joe Regalbuto from Murphy Brown is the guy caught staring at the hot babe in the bikini, and Matt Dillon is the sweaty football player.

[@elc1960]

In that "When You Say Bud" spot, that's the immortal singer-songwriter Valerie Simpson (of Ashford & Simpson) on lead vocal. It is, however, not her in the commercial; they had an actress lip sync her part. If they'd asked her she'd probably have done it herself...

Love this collection of commercials, brings back a lot of memories of days gone by. One thing I did notice was the American pride in many of the commercials. Most of the brands mentioned America in its advertising one way or another. Also, I think this compilation of video's were uploaded in alphabetical order? Great nostalgia.

If you've never used the closed captioning option on these videos, you should try it with this video. Some of the captions here are sheer comedy gold. Don't take my word for it, try it yourself.

Falcon Crest, Dallas, Knots Landing, Dynasty,The Waltons, Little House on the Prairie, The Six Million dollar man, The Dukes of Harzard, BJ and the Bear, Air Wolf, Battle Star Galactica! Knight Rider and for the first time ever the motion pictures of, Star Wars, Star Trek, Superman, Spider Man, Close Encounters of the third kind, E.T., Poltergeist, Jaws, Friday the 13th, Aliens, (No not the ones being aloud to just walk into our country right now in 2023), Predator and many more… We also celebrated the bicentennial in the 70’s when the entire country celebrated it from Apr 1, 1975 - Jul 4, 1976. It was like the 4th of July every day. It was fantastic!.…it was such a better time to be alive in this county. We never had the problems that are here today. It was unheard of for kids being shot and men walking around dressed as women. It was the last of America and we were lucky to have experienced it.
