80's Commercials Vol. 1089

[@hopegrimsley3427]

I love M&M commercials from the 1980s; they’re always heartwarming.

8:08 - Despite the first film being Rated R, the original Police Academy found a large family audience. I even remember my parents letting me watch it with them on HBO when I was 8. The studio took notice, and that’s why the franchise became kid friendly as it went on. Same thing happened to National Lampoon’s Vacation, which was the first R-Rated film I ever saw during a sleepover.

1:57 - I had the Chip toy of these. That year, my brothers were both working at McDonald’s, so they would bring home promotional items, such as these, or a Honey, I Shrunk the Kids cup.

I remember 1989 very well. Being born in early 85 makes me happy that I remember a small part of 80s.

Great commercials, lot of kids stuff, love it.

Golden Grahams- Judging by how his family reacts as soon as they hear him coming down the stairs for Breakfast, I would that the Golden Boy’s antics in this commercial before he sits down to Breakfast is an everyday occurrence for this family. Spaghetti Os Teddy Os- Watching the Father gradually transform into a cartoon anthropomorphic bear in this commercial is both interesting and creepy at the same time, I think. Teddy Grahams- Seeing one of the costumed Bear Characters lick his lips at 10:03 has got to be one of the weirdest things I’ve ever seen.

7:09 We had Pizza Party. Since it's basically a Memory game with a "switch with another player" mechanic, the games went by quickly. Still fun for smaller kids, though.

Lot of fun commercials plus that infamous Diff'rent Strokes episode. Have not seen Yummy Mummy cereal even when the monster cereals pop around though I have seen Fruit Broot and the new monster girl cereal with Carmelle Creep. Favorite commercial was probably the TMNT one.

[@80sCommercialVault]

According to Wikipedia, Fruity Yummy Mummy was discontinued in 1992. It was brought back briefly in 2013 but discontinued a year later.

[@TerrickTerran]

@@80sCommercialVault Cool stuff. It's the one I've never had that I'd like to try.

[@flareonjupiter2552]

One thing I remember about Police Academy is the PSAs they had at the end of each show -- they even had their own title cards! I remember one called, "Don't Get Burned" ... with Callahan talking about how to get out safely in the event of a fire.

Micro Machine guy sounding like an auctioneer…

[@bryanloveseighties]

Although he wasn't, maybe he COULD be an auctioneer. But don't forget, there were other TV credits to John Moschitta's name like the classic FedEx commercial, his one time appearance on Sesame Street and some commercials for JetBlue Airlines.

[@MLaker221]

What kind of campells kid are you, that was a good one!!!

[@catpurcell]

I feel goofy, too, Dudley. 😑 Sorry you had that experience.

[@raisa_cherry35]

The year of my birth 1989 😊❤

[@yusakug]

2:42 - Just some kids riding their bikes with a gorilla, nothing to see here, folks…

[@CMmeows]

Not the bike shop episode! Anything but that! Just let me play my Gameboy with a cyborg. I want to be a Tetris champion.

[@DanZero77]

Funny to see how family friendly the later Police Academy movies became! I'd never get home in time to see the animated series as it ended at 3:30 here. Bleh. That's TWO "special" episodes of Diff'rent Strokes now! They had a whole lot of them. Suck a brick indeed!

[@raisa_cherry35]

Had no idea about the Barbie cereal 😮❤ has anyone tried this cereal?

[@jayjaybee]

It was fine.

[@diceman74]

When did actual NERF guns come out? I don't recall but that blast a ball thing made me think of it.

[@80sCommercialVault]

The Blast-A-Ball is considered the first Nerf Gun. The Nerf Sharpshooter released in 1992 was the first to fire foam darts.

[@WilfredCthulu]

lol zipper didn't get a toy.

[@TTrigg]

TMNT Commercial Bumper-Krang needs a throat lozenge M&M's-Mickey finally has control over his magic from The Sorcerer's Apprentice Diff'rent Strokes a) ..had Dudley's dad came along,the police would be arresting him too..for attempted murder of Mr.Horton Cool Times Barbie-did Margot Robbie wear a similar outfit in the movie? Hitstruments by Nasta-expected to see Joey going"Whoaa..." Police Academy-this didn't last as long as the Robocop and Rambo cartoons did Diff'rent Strokes b)-in a deleted scene,Arnold out-skated Dorothy Hamill 😆 Nintendo Game Boy-look,it's Police Robot L from Starcrash! Monster Cereals-if they were to bring Fruit Brute back,all would be right with the world Diff'rent Strokes c-) Melanie Watson should've made more appearances,just for her character to trade insults with Willis

[@roristevens2810]

Yeah, Joey Lawrence was just short of the Blossom years in '89. It's easy to forget how much work he did before that (the year prior he voiced Oliver in Oliver & Company!).
