80's Commercials Vol. 315

These commercials aired on NBC on May 14th, 1989.
1. "Family Ties" Commercial Bumper

3. Kraft House Italian Dressing
4. The U.S. Armed Forces (They basically sold being in the military like a Nintendo Game)

18. Kellogg's Cracklin' Oat Bran

I was watching the Family Ties finale that night on WNBC at the home of one of my dad's cousins in Staten Island. I had just performed with my California high school choir and band at Carnegie Hall that day!

[@MelissaHash]

Awesome! New batch of commercials before my birthday! Thanks & I turn 30 tomorrow, July 4th! I personally love your commercial nostalgia!

[@kingofpointless]

You don't know how relieved I am to here this, this is one of my favourite KZbin channels

[@jason3fc]

Welcome back. I for one greatly appreciate all the work you have put into posting these!

[@80sCommercialVault]

I am not dead, nor a drug user. My name is, and has always been Michael. I'm just busy with work and life and simply don't have the time it takes to maintain this channel the way I once did. Any further discussion of my personal life outside of this channel will be removed. Enjoy what is here, while it's here, and be content knowing that there is more for me to do in life than entertain strangers with 30 year old television commercials.

[@monkspider]

Wow, what a pleasant surprise to see a new video form you on here! Thanks for all your handwork. You have been sorely missed!

[@xavierbrenner4746]

Good to see your back Michael! I never doubted you for a second!

[@GlowBella]

Great to see a fresh volume of commercials from you! Don't blame you for being tired of KZbin, but just know your loyal viewers always appreciate you taking the time and effort to make compilations. Good that you have other stuff in life to occupy you as well!

[@Idoljunky32]

I am soo glad you are still with us!! I know you have a life outside of You Tube, and we have to respect that! I'm just so glad nothing has happened to you!! You have to live your life! When ever you feel the need to post new stuff we'll be waiting! It's all on your terms! Your loyal veiwers understand! We were just scared for a bit! Whew!!

[@misdirections]

So glad you're back! A lot of us viewers were really worried something bad happened to you. Hope you're well and we see many more commercials!

[@Zanaaa50]

I am glad to see that you're back. Thanks for posting.

[@disposableutopia]

Not trivializing college, job or happiness, but these commercial blocks have brought more people nostalgic happiness then most jobs ever could. Still, cant eat nostalgia.. Ty for all the uploads!

[@FunniGui]

Kinda teared up at the end seeing Gary Goldburg (who passed away recently) saying "Goodbye" while the "Family Ties" theme gently played in the background

[@HamptonRoadsTVFan]

Glad to have you back. You've got a terrific channel!

[@GrowinupinSincity81]

The King of Comms has returned! Love the McD's "Food Changeables" Commercial. Still have my fast food transform..er..."changeables." Thanks again.

[@unloadedone]

For what it's worth, this stranger and loyal viewer greatly appreciates what you've done and I just want to thank you. These videos have taken back to a much simpler and happy time in my childhood and have even made me feel better during some rough times of my life. As someone who works in the TV industry I know that editing and all of the other components are no small task. So Michael, while you don't owe us anything or ever have, I certainly owe you for an amazing experience. Thank you, sir.

[@WastedPo]

Welcome back. Nice to see one of the best channels on KZbin active once again (if only for a small while).

[@DarianMSewell]

I missed you, man. Welcome back!!!!

[@jackedup447]

Wow a new video. You should upload them like this so that I savor every moment.

[@unknownvariable1]

Thanks for the new upload, CommercialVault

[@blugreen123]

Long time no see! Good to see you!

[@retroDave80]

Dude! You don't know how happy you've made me by posting again. I really appreciate all of the effort it takes to create and maintain the content.

[@monkfan72]

Thanks for the upload!

[@planetdo0m]

I remember those happy meal toys. Now you can buy them for $50 on ebay.

[@bull_honk]

Mike Ditka and Cathy in a McDonalds commercial together? I like it!

[@rharms_]

reeeeaaallly appreciate this channel alot!!, maybe hopefully you will get to update on some regular basis anyway , but just wanted to let you know you post some real cool stuff!

[@rharms_]

btw i did track down old vhs tapings w commercials myself for some time so i know you gotta appreciate it

[@66duckhunter]

I've watched every single volume you've posted. Of course you don't owe any of us anything but I just wanted to let you know how much I've enjoyed what you've done and hope you do find the time, and desire, to do it some more. If not then thanks for what you have done, it has really been prolific.

[@80sCommercialVault]

Not offended. I realize most of the rumor-mongering was done by just one troll, but I still find it odd that people would assume I was dead just because I hadn't uploaded a video to youtube in a few months. Truthfully, I'm tired of youtube. Frequent and unnecessary design changes, a copyright detection algorithm that has prevented me from posting several volumes...not to mention two strikes against my account that probably won't go away. I'm surprised my account is still here to be honest.

[@Casimir1100]

I just can't stop watching these... I love them and they take me back. Growing up in the eighties I watched tv all the time, a real couch potato. Its funny because when I watch tv which is rare I have no patience with commercials. But with these, its like a time portal that I can go to anytime!!! Thank you so much for these!!!

[@xavierbrenner4746]

Drinking a Mountain Dew and watching a new vol. of 80's commercials! Couldn't get any better then this!

[@skirm123]

hey your back. good to see u!

[@202czarna]

Thank you!

[@StormsongK]

WELCOME BACK!

[@80sCommercialVault]

It might seem strange, but there is more for me to do in my life than post 10 minute blocks of commercials twice a week. Tracking down old television recordings, editing them, annotating and posting them takes a lot of time. I started this channel when I was out of college, unemployed...unfulfilled in life. It was a fun outlet while it lasted but I simply don't have the time to upload videos like I once did. Maybe every few months I will post something new. But don't assume I'm dead if I don't.

[@danaroxy2012]

I've never had my Mcdonald's breakfast in 60 seconds.

[@thingsandtings]

No worries, welcome back. Glad you're doing fine. :D That's all I'll say on the matter.

[@RoxyAlexander]

I'm so sorry that posting these has become what seems to be a negative experience. I just want you to know that what you've done is no different to me than what good filmmakers or tv writers have done. These mere 10 minute packages have given me moments of my past, allowed me to think and feel in a way not felt since childhood. They've even inspired me at times, reminded me of dreams from the past. And yes, they've amused & entertained. Please dont think theyre pointless. I cherish these moments

[@nkaio5]

I remember when I Know My First Name is Steven came out. My mom had a big talk with my younger brother and I soon after about strangers. And thanks 80sCommercialVault for all you do. I really enjoys these posts. 80s commercials >>> today's commercials

[@DWolf2k2]

Welcome Back!

[@KK4CNM]

Watching these always makes me smile, thanks for taking the time to upload them!

[@Deus_Payne]

I missed you to omg I'm so happy welcome back :''')

[@Sincopare]

Buick #19 was totally awesome.

[@Whtxombi]

May 89- nearing the end of my last year of High School. Truly the best year of my life :)

[@gaialanzer81]

Wow, McDonalds used to have a 60 second challenge for breakfast back in the day? They'd NEVER be able to do that now. McDonalds service has become SUPER slow(remember it also made national headlines as some of the worst service nowadays). Either they were at top game back then, or maybe they just aren't even trying now.

[@myst4hire1]

Glad to hear from you, although I feel your pain with what you mentioned above. The main thing is that I hope this channel stays here for as long as possible for it's a great escape from today's reality. Love to reflect at times on what to me was the best decade of my life, and you sir did that by providing us (those who appreciate it) with this channel. Live your life for you have already given us the goods with these videos,.but more will always be appreciated.

[@yodivalentine6622]

I was born in the 90s and I was introduced to the 80s after watching Footloose as a kid. I got hooked ever since.

[@80sCommercialVault]

Troodon311 explained this well, but here goes. Maybe I should have said something when I stopped posting, but it wasn't something that I planned. I have a job with a busy 4th quarter and I was working 10-12 hour days six days a week. I had very little time for anything outside of work.

[@TR47]

Good to see you back! I posted a longer video of mid 80's comms you might like. I haven't gotten a strike, but I assume you get 3 and then the boot? Looks like I'll have to do some extractions to preserve your posts.

[@Zeakthecat]

well 1st welcome back and 2nd today's commercials just repeat the same 3 min commercial block vs 80s commercials were they put in different commercials for each 3 min commercial block

[@jakju_]

YES

[@darktetsuya]

man, had no idea you'd already had two copyright strikes (have to wonder if they were related to viacom or something? just out of curiosity) Also agreed on the latest youtube changes, too much clutter!

[@YodaPagoda]

I remember my mom was an avid collector of those Happy Meal toys, and I remember seeing the Changeables in her collection. I always wanted a couple to decorate my desk but didn't know what they were called. Oh, and welcome back! I never doubted you for a second. Thanks so much for what you've done, and I welcome any future videos!

[@80sCommercialVault]

Feeling like I'm obligated to explain my personal life to 13 thousand strangers (probably less than 100 of whom are active viewers/participants in this channel) is a sense of entitlement I just don't understand. I'm just some dude. This isn't my job. If I stop posting youtube videos for a spell it's my business, and if people make up (and believe) rumors that I'm dead because of that they frankly deserve to be snipped at.

[@814ErieGurl]

You don't owe anyone an explanation for your life, if you never came back to YT that would have been your prerogative! You aren't obligated to post new videos, I wasn't trying to imply that. Your anger just seemed to be misplaced when responding to some people who simply welcomed you back and were happy 2 see U. I felt the need to say something about that. No entitlement here, at least not from me! I respect that you don't want to keep discussing this. :)

[@holbrooke7]

We all appreciate the hard work!

[@misdirections]

haha, sorry if that offended you. I, along with everyone here I'd assume, appreciate the work you've done so far, and if you do you more in the future, great. With the sudden drop off some of us just got worried and maybe jumped to conclusions, but it was with the best intent in mind.

[@Nickrj3]

Joe Rocco at 4:39.

[@SagaSagaVGM]

Welcome back! And I seriously hope nobody actually believed those BS rumors that were being thrown around.....

[@Distantlogicpro]

Fucking AWESOME! Thank you for uploading more.

[@Weirdoradio]

So the rumours of your alien abduction and subsequent relocation to Planet X were false. Hm. (Welcome back and thanks for clearing things up.)

[@QuietSundayLibrary]

MAXIMUM VAPORWAVE

[@Deus_Payne]

Yaayyyy ur back :)

[@bizziemom4]

WJAR!

[@DRourk]

Aye. KZbin has gone to poop. We need an alternative. I would be so happy if I didn't have to use KZbin anymore. I'm also tired of the changes every X months that make the site less and less useful every time, being asked to use my real name every other day, all the bugs one encounters when posting a comment, the blocking and copyright strikes you mention that make no sense etc, . KZbin once was great. Google has mucked it up horribly though. /end rant Thanks for the new videos! =)

[@814ErieGurl]

I know that this will be deleted, but you seem to be getting really snippy with the wrong people. A lot of people enjoyed your vids and when you disappeared for months, people naturally started to wonder. Only that one troll started a negative rumor. In this day and age technology is everywhere so the lack of a quick, "I'm done with/taking a break from YT" led some of your 13K subscribers to be concerned. You should be flattered.

[@skystarless]

Yay! And yeah, KZbin is increasingly lame.

[@eddiehatesyou]

How appropriate you're showing the last Family Ties due to Gary David Goldberg's passing.

[@bendover992002]

We appreciate you building this channel and hope you keep it up. There are plenty of videos to keep us occupied. Can we write to KZbin to remove the strikes? It seems unfair.
