80's Commercials Vol. 1028

[@yusakug]

Time Bandits was a staple of my childhood viewing when my family got HBO and the other movie channels in the early 80s. Discovered some great cult gems, like this, Electric Dreams, Twice Upon a Time, and Rock & Rule back in those days. The early days of paid movie channels were so much fun, because of the bizarre and small films they would frequently play to fill up air time.

Leonard Nemoy with a mustache... for the win

[@darktetsuya]

Interesting to see the magnavox ad with leonard nimoy, I know there was that promo video for laserdisc players that he was in, so first time I've seen any of the other ads they had him in!

Incredible set!! As a Hoosier, watching ads from Indiana is always a treat. Thank you for all that you do.

100% agree. Grew up in east central Indiana

0:30 I wish the future that was predicted in the 80s came to fruition instead of the crappy one we actually got.

[@yusakug]

9:47 - I collect retro video games myself, but have some friends who would probably give their right nut to get a chance to even hold some of those comics on display.

The actor in the Firestone commercial is Dick Christie, who would go on to play the dad on Small Wonder.

That Yahtzee commercial is a bit older than 1981, as Challenge Yahtzee came out in 1974 and the original Yahtzee changed its logo by this point. Jackpot Yahtzee came out in 1980

I thought that was Michael Vale in the Tender Vittles ad - I was right! Awesome! I also love the shaving cream ad parody with WNAP!

Grew up in east central Indiana. Indy was the affiliate news my family would watch!

[@niico76]

me and my friends used to sing “Fresh” like in the Tender Vittles commercial. My teacher didn’t like it LOL

[@pbwoly]

I just love to watch your channel and play "Guess what they are selling ?"

[@MyMelodyOfTheHeart]

Timex- The creators of this commercial must have had Star Wars heavily on the brain when they came up with this commercial, given the vibes of the franchise I get from it. Betty Crocker Super Moist Cake And Creamy Deluxe Frosting- The cake that the woman and her child made in this commercial looks so good, that, makes me want to grab the cake out of her hands, run away with it and eat it myself.

Every Which Way But Loose-shame Eastwood never made a third film,thus making it a trilogy The Princess And The Cabbie-"Never.see him.again!"..hopefully he had a change of heart by movie's end Time Bandits-guess Taika Watiti's planned remake is never happening,which may be a good thing The Two Of Us-missed opportunity not having Bill Withers's song as the theme

[@Coffeebibber]

That was evil Spock from the Mirror Universe in the Magnavox ad! 😂

[@stratoplayer1988]

4:31 Maybe if Estelle has a cat, she wouldn’t have nagged Frank or George so often.

[@rolandog5424]

7:10 -7:34 the late Great and Beautiful Natalie Wood! She passed away November 29, 1981 so Which means she must have film this Commercial before less than a month in half later she Would Drown she was a very lovely Woman! drowned in the Pacific Ocean near Santa Catalina Island during a break from production of her would-be comeback film Brainstorm (1983). She was with her husband Wagner and Brainstorm co-star Christopher Walken.

[@80sCommercialVault]

This is mentioned in the video description. The commercial would have been filmed months before this, but yes this aired less than a month before her death.

[@RickyBobby585]

@7:39 $42 tires?😮😮

[@80sCommercialVault]

$42 in 1981 money is now $138 when adjusted for inflation. You have to do this when you're comparing prices with today and 42 years ago.

[@RickyBobby585]

@@80sCommercialVault Where's this inflation scale?

Oh Bill Cosby, why!

[@kurtispopp]

Rick Dees' fake giggling while giving the synopsis for lame sitcoms is unbearable.
