5. Life Cereal (Relax, your kids will eat it)
6. Nestle Toll House Morsels
7. Promo for "Bugs Bunny's Thanksgiving Diet" and "Daffy Duck's Thanks-For-Giving Special" (I guess it's safe to assume at this point that Looney Tunes shorts will never be seen on network TV again)

18. Promo for "The Wil Shriner Show" (This only lasted for a season, which is why you've probably never heard of it)

So many wonderful memories with these commercials

[@AtlantaCommercials96]

You know, that Macy's commercial with the Snoopy doll is quite something. All those old commercials with the Peanuts characters have a unique charm to them.

[@yillow1]

I have this exact commercial break from the beginning on VHS. Deja vu everywhere.

[@joecarroll3371]

It's truly a shame that today's kids can't just be kids like we were in the 80s. It was truly an innocent time.

[@DreamDancer82]

"I hope you're prepared to see a lot of this thing." I sure am. I can never get enough of that bumper!

[@do-ineedtosay723]

Wow! I remember that Security Pacific Bank commercial! Based on my own FOO (Family of Origin) issues, I thought for sure that the young boy was going to get a whoopin' or get chewed out big time. But what a wonderful father the kid has! Very touching. Thank you for posting this.

[@luzmoran9536]

I cried at the comercial of The Puffalumps. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@JohnnyUtah15]

"1. CBS Special Presentation Bumper (I hope you're prepared to see a lot of this thing)" Oh, I'm prepared. I loved it then and still love it.

[@LauraLittlePony]

You are my hero, 80sCommercialVault!! My Thanksgiving specials VHS tape snapped and actually stretched out the tape part a couple years ago. :-/ I tried my best to fill in my nostalgia fix with other commercial mixes, but we all know that's not quite the same. . . BUT, I think this one is THE EXACT AIRING (albeit from another location) that my family taped!!!

[@JulesBhm]

Happy Thanksgiving, 80sCommercialVault! I love this channel!

[@vicious-pi3rd]

Aw. That report card commercial made me tear up.

[@Lurker1979]

Loved the Homemark's version of The Secret Garden.

[@foxyman9449]

I love catching these old commercials again and again to see if I spot any well known actors or actresses. For Example, is that Kristine Sutherland in the Ragu commercial? It looks a lot like her!

[@YodaPagoda]

Color me shocked, but there weren't any Dolly Madison commercials during the Charlie Brown specials? I thought it was mandatory! I think we had a rebranded version of that Security Pacific Bank commercial here...can't help but think that poor Junior is gonna get a beatin'...

[@AtlantaCommercials96]

What's up with that kid in the Pillsbury Cookie commercial, it seems like he was acting out.

[@miketroncin749]

Earlier in the day, the kid and his mother found themselves embroiled in a political debate. The kid eventually degraded into personal insults and threats of dissolving the current dynamics of the household. However, after he missed his chartered flight, he decided to rescind his previously indicated departure.

[@zachhoran]

I remember the WIl SHriner syndicated talk show in the 1987-88 season.

[@hopegrimsley3427]

How cute were the Furskins?!

[@KwproductionINC]

WOW...I had like every single one of those fast food stuffed toys...i feel the need to work out all of a sudden :P

[@saintrocketIX]

The All-American Thanksgiving Parade, live from...Toronto. Canada.

[@Koide9]

I would have been almost 8 years old, but I don't remember any of these commercials.

[@80sCommercialVault]

Ok

[@Pdasilva0324]

I was 10 and in 5th grade in late 1987, and other than the local ones (I lived in Boston), I remember a lot of these.

[@mst3kanita]

80sCommercialVault The "I was ___ when these aired!" commercials are soo annoying.

[@80sCommercialVault]

mst3kanita I don't mind it when they actually have something to say, but just saying that "I was so and so years old and have no memory or thoughts about these" strikes me as pretty pointless.

[@turntableone]

You mean to tell me that is JR and Sue Ellen kissing? After all he put Sue Ellen through. Unreal.

[@windows-si7oc]

6.Yum

[@TTrigg]

RE:Heinz Ketchup and Onions-not only did it sound disgusting it also tasted it as well..wtf was Heinz thinking? also didnt the "Peanuts" people have a exclusive licensing deal with Dolly Madison

[@80sCommercialVault]

I'm pretty sure the Peanuts/Dolly Madison sponsorship partnership ended in the mid-80's.

[@mst3kanita]

Ketchup n Onions will always be a bizarre short lived product. How hard is it to cut up your own fresh onions when you eat burgers! Heinz also made a picante ketchup during the early salsa craze in about 94.

[@80sCommercialVault]

mst3kanita I imagine that the Heinz people were probably just bored of sitting around a factory with ketchup, baked beans and relish everywhere.

[@miketroncin749]

Currently they're trying ketchup with jalapeños

[@mst3kanita]

Now see, that makes sense. Jalapeños are delicious.
