80's Commercials Vol. 463

[@maryroberts2099]

I knew there was Pepsi light. I used to love that

[@kmjeffels]

OMG, I would love to see SNL again! These were the best times!

[@cyphrinfinity9992]

Thanks for compiling all of these older commercials and for your work of listing them as well.

[@coypu2005]

Love these!! Excellent collection. Thank you 💗💗💗💗

[@Zanaaa50]

6:55 John Pankow (with hair LOL) who played Paul Reiser's cousin Ira Buchman on the NBC sitcom "Mad About You (1992-1997). Mr. Pankow is currently on a hit Showtime show with Matt LeBlanc called "Episodes".

2:12 - some people may be checking their phones to see if they're ringing! Frank Field from WNBC hopped around to 4 different stations in his weather career in New York. That NBC movie intro I have never seen before! STAHHHHHHHHP!

[@Zanaaa50]

So funny! I'm sure that noise wasn't attributed to a phone ringing back then!

[@thrasher6499]

that was jo in the hallmark commerical

[@Timelytube1178]

That is a cool sighting!

[@gmfd76]

That was the ad that got her the job on "Facts of Life" :)

[@Boomska316]

It seems like Total must have had one of the biggest advertising campaigns of any cereal in the 80s. It felt like their commercials were always on. I remember the ones where they would stack up the cereal bowls to show how many bowls of the other guy's cereal you'd have to eat to equal one bowl of Total.

[@80sCommercialVault]

It wasn't advertised anywhere close to the amount that cereals aimed at kids were. I've actually only posted a few ads for it over 8 years and nearly 500 volumes of commercials.

[@JulesBhm]

Great video! I like that Pepsi Light commercial. And Joyce Dewitt, love her!

[@angel.acid666]

"She's beautiful, Rich, and about to be strangled" hahaha that narrator on Dial 'M' for Murder.

[@yusakug]

14:26 - The way the guy reacts, I think he wants to murder his mother in law, not just complain about her muffler. He is holding some violence in, and it's most likely going to explode during this visit. 16:33 - "Five major motion pictures will be about swords and sorcerers this summer. This Sunday, you can see the first!" Wow, you know a studio has no confidence in their movie when the only thing they can think to say about it is that they pushed theirs out first. We're not the best, we're just the first!

[@80sCommercialVault]

TV networks typically don't brag about the quality of low budget made-for-TV movies. Capitalizing on the impending blitz of fantasy films (driven by the nationwide obsession with Dungeons and Dragons) was smart.

[@miketroncin749]

08:41 - the mannequin with the glasses looks hilariously like warren zevon on his 'excitable boy' album...

[@MrBoyYankee]

10:54 That was the year I was born and the first time my family took me to see star wars. when I was a 2 month old baby my earliest memory.

[@FourG63]

manual transmission accord, i miss those

[@frankpontone2139]

17:23 R.I.P Jessica Savitch....you died a horrible death.

[@rynic]

He hates these cans. Stay away from the cans!

[@melanieraleigh4961]

I remember that Pizza Hut debuted the pan pizza in the fall of 1980. It was a lot better then than it is now.

[@Doncolorado]

Interest rates we,re great. You could make $1200 a year on $10000.

[@TTrigg]

ACME ad-that was Alan Hamell(sp)-Suzanne Somers's husband Command Performance-Christopher Cross looked like he wasnt exactly thrilled to be there.. That Hallmark ad seemed a bit too creepy.. Pizza Hut-"OOOHHH..AHHHHH.." too bad their pizza doesnt make you react like that nowadays Dial M For Murder-looks like they gave away what happens to her(never saw the movie myself,btw) Hill Street Blues promo-i dont think i can un-see that LOL Fugitive From The Empire-a.k.a "The Archer",another pilot which didnt get picked up for a series

[@hrtvfan2870]

Never knew Alan Hamel was doing any promos for grocery chains on the East Coast (thought he only did Alpha-Beta spots) And regarding the Hallmark ad; that indeed was Nancy McKeon (saw a Facts of Life retrospective that mentioned that ad was the one that an NBC executive noticed her on and decided to cast her for that series). Regarding the comment about Leon Panetta "never looking young" in the description; I guess the cheap rug doesn't help him look younger.

[@80sCommercialVault]

Re: "Dial M For Murder", if this TV remake was anything like the original, the wife grabs a pair of scissors from the table while being strangled and kills her attacker: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnPSfWWsgq-eedUm1s

[@JohnnyUtah15]

You just kicked in a memory from my childhood with the "Dial M for Murder" description. I'm trying to remember if it was the remake or an episode from a show. I just remember the woman stabbing the man in the back. I can't recall if he was trying to kill or rape her. I do remember looking at my dad with a grimace on my face.

[@InspectorCallahan.44]

"This is an 81 Honda, how DARE you!"

[@d77543020]

pizza hut pizza looks nothing like that today

[@standarddef8769]

Remember when all women were wearing Tootsie glasses? 8:55

[@MrBoyYankee]

Syms was the store for Ralph Lauren Polo on the cheap.

[@elineff3895]

I AGREE 8:26 the JFK looking mannequin EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

[@hahasimp]

Could Companies defame their competitors in advertisements without getting sued? They clearly show a bottle of Ragu then they say it sucks because they add sugar and other preservatives.

[@80sCommercialVault]

There's no law against it as long as the claims made are true.

[@icebeam23860]

Is it just me or were most of the narrators and announcers in 80's commercials were old/middle-aged men?

[@idziak4ever]

I forgot about the Brady Brides!

[@Nerval-kg9sm]

It's possible to add raisins to Total. Problem solved.

[@troodon3237]

Conway...

[@chrislang9442]

I guess because SNL had a lousy season, they had to resort to a good repeat.

[@wonkydude1]

The show's future was very much in doubt at that point.
