80's Commercials Vol. 224

[@skystarless]

This is pretty fun to watch! Haven't seen too many of these where the person was changing channels while taping.

[@badgersrule01]

Hey, the lady in the Kool-Aid ad is the mom from Small Wonder. Awesome!

[@TRENZ2]

I was looking all over for that Nestea commercial...

[@SWRadioConcepts]

I like the channel flipping - it's really brings the experience to life, as if your there in the 80s, remote in hand.

[@Prionic77]

The channel hopping is an interesting change (too bad 'bout the BK ad though lol). Plus! We see interesting tidbits normally lost or edited out from this era. :)

[@DanZero77]

This is REALLY neat. I would do a lot of this type of videotaping in the 90s, just record whatever I could get, commercials, show endings, etc. As a result, I would have a lot of snippets and exactly what you would find here. Plus, these commercials are near-local from me in CT ( I would get the NYC stations ). Good stuff!

[@holbrooke7]

OMG, collectible Star Wars glasses? Like in that "Family Guy" episode?! AWESOME

[@DanZero77]

Now I see a Threes Company ad from WNEW in New York, I never knew they also aired the original British series as well! COOL

[@nygiantsnut13]

Wow, thank you so much for sharing this! I sang lead and background vocals on the "Clearly Nestea" and "Foodtown" spots! What great memories for me to hear them again! :)

[@80sCommercialVault]

@GodsBurden I personally think this tape is one of the coolest, most unique things I've posted. And though these volumes will contain some channel changing, they still contain a ton of complete ads. It sucks that some people can be so picky about free, bi-weekly entertainment.

[@m3trooper]

I actually rather liked this format. Just as you flip through channels now, it's nice to see flipping through channels from the 80s!

[@AIOctober]

"Burger King presents: Return of the Jedi glasses! You can even play your home phone number!" :D

[@SMAXZO]

Wow...the Return of the Jedi glasses allows me to play the numbers? And how Erik Estrada is a French Toast? The best part of the channel changing is that you can make a new commercial out of it.

[@rjb1216]

@80sCommercialVault I love this kind of stuff!! Not sure why, but I can't get enough of it!

[@jerrygil1965]

I love VCR channel changing

[@jerrygil1965]

Man, I miss the 80s

[@DanZero77]

Also yes, CVS and Rite Aid were both East Coast fixtures long before their expansion(s) out west.

[@ejectorerector]

the changing channels part was cool as shit!!

[@DanZero77]

Was that Pernell Roberts on the Product 19 snippet?

[@blugreen123]

"pocket rocket" LOL We've had CVS here in the midwest for over 20 yrs. Wendy's served breakfast? I never knew that. I do remember the burger and potato bars, tho you could change channels while recording? i never tried that "It's as Tab as Tab can be!" I still use Prego all the time. it's the best jarred sauce

[@orion5175]

i remember going through a tab drinking phase but it was a long long time ago and it wasn't for very long, I don't even remember what it taste like.

[@rjb1216]

Isn't funny there was a time when donuts were the big thing about Dunkin Donuts rather than their coffee?

[@acceptthis01]

The Man About The House guy looks like Russell Brand.

[@blind_t2]

+80sCommercialVault i think the channel change idea was cool as heck! It gives me a sense of what I would've seen if I had traveled to the area in that era. I assume this is the New York metro area stations, right?

[@80sCommercialVault]

+Tyrone Thompson The tape was recorded in Hartford, Connecticut. There's a mix of stations from New York and Boston

[@GodsBurden]

Also, why is he-man trying to tell me to get a loan?

[@ewetube3]

@orion5175 its okay man, its okay. we all have our low points.

[@Prionic77]

@ChadzBeerReviews LOL thought the same thing about the BK ad. Would have loved to see it.

[@AIOctober]

I also like "We'll be right back--even if it kills us!" ;)

[@GodsBurden]

Not a fan of the channel changing. It's like it's teasing me with some awesome commercials.

[@WhateverHappenedToFun]

06:55 Really nasty... really nasty!!! 07:16 Thom Bray from Riptide!!!

[@orion5175]

@ewetube3 :-)
