80's Commercials Vol. 759

[@0J01H02]

Totally sold me on that Burger King commercial...*mouth waters*

I find it interesting that Disneyland used to have a 50's throwback celebration, and now they have an 80's throwback celebration

[@StephenAndrew777]

It's nice seeing something that was on in the background when I was around six, but haven't seen it since. I guess it reminds me of my childhood with my family and stuff.

Whopper is now 7 dollars alone 🤣

[@yusakug]

That guy in the E.T. costume at 6:34 needs to team up with that "strangling" Garfield from 80s Volume 755 to create the ultimate nightmare fuel.

29 - Eddie the Eagle was the first British competitor since 1928 in the Winter Olympics Ski Jump. He finished in last place in both events by a not-inconsiderable margin, but was very popular with the crowd and TV audience. There was a movie made about him a few years ago.

[@80sCommercialVault]

I never would have guessed that the guy at 10:19 was attempting to portray somebody British. It seemed more like a bad Jack Benny impression.

[@hopegrimsley3427]

I like the whistled tune in the Old Spice commercial. It’s pretty catchy.

[@Panzer83]

Gotta love it when Burger King offers Whopper deals like this one back then. Nowadays you can sometimes find buy one, get one free Whopper coupons in the mail, & it's either by themselves or a meal for two. Also, I won't lie but that Isotoner Pantyhose commercial was pretty sexy. Those high kicks & split jumps though

5:29 - Something tells me this woman did not last long at this job, especially when she started kicking up sheets of paper at 5:36.

[@JJMCB26]

I miss Safeway, the one in my town is now an Asda (UK Walmart).

[@bubufubu]

Still plenty of Safeways out here. I miss the non-Walmart grocery stores where you could rent movies (VHS) and get a haircut.

[@TTrigg]

Jordache-so which one is going to step up Alka Seltzer-what did they put in that pork chop suey Win And Spin-imagine what would happen if he lost Visine-wonder if he knew about his relative in the Korean War KTVU Anniversary Special-that roller derby clip Swanson Fried Chicken dinner-no,the potatoes taste like instant ones

[@paulmartinez5286]

Wow, Mickey totally just did a double take!

[@retluoc]

All the things I could mention, and the one thing that stood out to me... Giants vs A's? Were they in the same league then? I'll look it up. Edit: sorry 1989 WS, my bad 😁

[@80sCommercialVault]

A's = American League, Giants = National League. The game advertised here was a spring training game played in Scottsdale, AZ. The regular season didn't start until April.

[@retluoc]

@@80sCommercialVault oh, spring training... that makes sense. You're right, spring training interleague games have always been around.

[@Mr.White10-65]

@@retluoc 89 was also the year the San Francisco earthquake hit. I remember watching it clear as day. Game 3 A's and Giants...."Battle of the Bay".

[@DanZero77]

That is a rather bad E.T. costume much like Garfield's dark days of choking from a few videos ago!

[@orlandomatthews8066]

Jack in the box...they had the best burgers

[@Drixenol86]

Burger King had Pepsi!?

[@80sCommercialVault]

Only for around 7 years back in the 80's. They eventually switched back to coke in 1990: www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-05-02-fi-234-story.html

80sCommercialVault Well, I was born in 1986.
