80's Commercials Vol. 787

[@MyMelodyOfTheHeart]

That's an impressive animation style they used in both of the Nissan Noodles commercials. I always like how so much effort goes into commercials like the California Raisins Commercial. Not only in the animation, but the designs of the junk food characters, too. "This stuff is good for you." "Don't think about it!" Apparently, if you thought that Life Cereal was good for you in that commercial, it'll make you cringe again.

[@yusakug]

Okay, I had to call that werewolf sighting number. First, I got a busy signal, which made me think that there were a lot of werewolf sightings. When I tried again, I got a message saying the number could not be reached as dialed. I smell a cover up...

[@baylinkdashyt]

The ad's 35 years old...

[@RL-yv7dw]

Yeah!!! That's the great 80's! Hair styles, fashion, products, food, cars and everything else. I remember it all! I'm blessed to have lived my teen years in the 80's. It's ALL greatly missed. 😢

[@tbone5757]

"Give your breath long lasting freshneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeess... With Big Red!" I love that jingle!

[@marktrow4142]

I've said this before but will say this again. I rather watch this instead of anything on current TV. Especially being stuck at home these days. We are going back in time reliving those days. 🕒 📺

[@rylar717]

Noxema - California Raisins ROCK! Thank you 80sCommercialVault ONCE AGAIN for all of your hard work and your knowledge of the ads to help inform the viewers

[@buckybarz3779]

Amazing seeing these older brands and actors/actresses when they were younger.

[@Drixenol86]

That ramen ad is a work of art

[@davidwages9176]

I feel like that Big Red commercial aired for like 20 years. There may have been multiple versions, but I know I’ve heard that same jingle about 50,000 times.

[@80sCommercialVault]

There were many multiple versions...probably several dozen that aired over the years.

[@baylinkdashyt]

I've been watching *lots* of 80s spot reels this quarantine, and this is a *distinctly* different arrangement and mix of this theme than most of the rest. There's an extra measure or two of legato that shifts back and forth between the middle and just before the tag -- I like it better at the end -- but this is a different orchestration than the others as well.. and I like the older version better. This one sounds like it's mostly synth, where the original is a real brass band.

[@km6509]

The Big Red song was so good! I still remember the words!

[@rainbow20112011]

The commercials back then are way better than the garbage that we see on television these days.

[@mustangflyer6878]

Wow, this is great. It sure brings back memories of a much simpler and better time.

[@Panzer83]

I've always loved those Jack In The Box commercials in the 80's, even as a kid. The music in those commercials has been stuck in my head when they present something like those finger foods. The chicken tenders & the egg rolls look delicious though.

[@DanZero77]

Always nice to see that Hershey's ad again (also the Saturday Morning animated variant also featured here in the past)

[@AhmedRadwanx]

love the 80's

[@jessicabarbaro7158]

"I think they deserve a hand" because it's finger food.😂

[@hopegrimsley3427]

This is another awesome volume! Thank you for helping keep me sane while I stay up with our new puppy!

[@jackiehoward7300]

Hi Hope. Jamie and I remember you from the Rite Aid in Louisville. Enjoy that new puppy.

[@valerieannrumpf4151]

Love the raisin commericals.

[@gator7082]

It's always humbling to realize that all of the kids in these commercials are now around 40.

[@theinstantnoodle9628]

We miss you Aunt Jemima.

[@Kylefassbinderful]

I love this channel. KTTV! You have quite a bit of old KTVU commercials which has been my channel 2 my whole life. These compilations really take the edge off.

[@Kylefassbinderful]

4:25 5 sticks for 25 cents in 1987 is 55 cents in 2019.

[@consumebeef5900]

That’s inflation for you

[@Cathouse.1987]

4:58 that commercial was kind of scary the werewolf 😦

[@MrIveyIsBonkers]

You must have every commercial break ever!

[@80sCommercialVault]

Not even close.

[@Lurker1979]

I love that Werewolf ad. lol

[@disparatedesperado9317]

What was that even about?

[@6plastic]

Love this channel

[@ljshep1005]

The third one is the most horrifying thing i've ever seen My mirror: Oh really???

[@YodaPagoda]

I remember a lot of products were designed to go in the toaster, but it never ended up heating up frozen things well. And that diner set in the Aunt Jemima commercial, it's straight out of a vintage picture! A lot of classic chewing gum jingles in this volume! I think one of my...wealthier classmates had that set of Constitution coins, but they were in plastic protectors.

[@wildsmiley]

That diner in the Aunt Jemima commercial is essentially a recreation of Edward Hopper’s painting Nighthawks.

[@YodaPagoda]

Yeah I saw an article about Nighthawks the day after I commented, and now I’m more educated.

[@TheComicRelief9001]

I have to wonder how many people in '87 actually called the Werewolf number XD

[@yusakug]

I'm pretty sure they fielded a lot of prank calls. I imagine the people manning the phone line got a lot of calls that were just random people howling into the phone, then hanging up.

[@mrs.morris5506]

That might have been a local thing. I've never seen that commercial in Chicago.

[@baylinkdashyt]

I was gonna ask about that: was that a series tie-in, or what?

[@TheComicRelief9001]

@@baylinkdashyt It was a promo for a TV show en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werewolf_(TV_series)

[@dinakay330]

Sears banks?????? Wow the 80s had it all

[@80sCommercialVault]

In the 80's Sears owned Coldwell Banker, Allstate Insurance and introduced the Discover credit card. They were an absolutely massive company with a much larger footprint than just department stores.

[@SWRadioConcepts]

Women in Prison, huh? I'm sure I watched a lot of Fox back then and I don't remember it. Looks interesting.

[@All_Sports_Kyle]

The Disneyworld commercial with the Cosby’s!! I thought I’d remembered that but haven’t found it anywhere!

[@seanchud]

This thumbnail is a cool callback to your first upload.

[@monicamason3414]

"Women In Prison"? I know I live in Canada, but we do have FOX. Missed that one, not that I feel bad about it. Surprised to see C.C. H. Pounder in it. I love her.

[@rinwesley3092]

I remember Werewolf.

[@TTrigg]

Lovelines-a lot of people getting hurt in this it looks like Married With Children-good episode Women In Prison-a precursor to Orange Is The New Black..? Werewolf-loved this show..sad it never got a proper conclusion Mr.President-in a alternate universe George C.Scott would make a better POTUS Walt Disney World-the Huxtables on vacation..meanwhile Cliff was at a bar.. 21 Jumpstreet end credits-had always thought they would show pictures of the cast when they were younger in that yearbook

[@80sCommercialVault]

If you were born in 1987 it stands to reason that you wouldn't remember any of these.

[@paul3547]

@@80sCommercialVault why wouldn't I remember any of them?.

[@80sCommercialVault]

These *aired* in 1987. Humans can't remember anything from before they are around 3 years old. It's scientific fact.

i was born in 74 and only seen about 3 or 4 of them lol

Wow a black family actually presented Disneyworld back then. Nice. I know they were the Cosby show kids, but still.

[@shangtsung1362]

It's the 80s, not the Jim Crow south. Lol.

[@NY32986]

Women in Prison, that just looks so awful. Glad it only lasted 13 eps

[@Kylefassbinderful]

it looked amazing lol

[@sirlordford]

Wow, those ramen commercials haven't aged well. That's some serious historically inaccurate stereotyping. Right up there with the "ancient Chinese secret " of laundry detergent.

[@80sCommercialVault]

"Historically inaccurate"? They're using traditional Japanese art as an animation style. Nissin is a Japanese company, so I very much doubt anybody from Japan is actually offended by this sort of advertising.

[@sirlordford]

@@80sCommercialVault Hmmm, not sure as I haven't asked any Japanese individuals but just as Aunt Jamima has fallen under the stigma of a caricature, the idea of an Edo period household (dress) eating a mid 20th century food creation did not continue AFAIK.

[@80sCommercialVault]

IMO a Japanese company has the autonomy to decide what aspects of Japanese culture are appropriate or not to include in their advertising without westerners deciding that it's inappropriate or culturally insensitive. And comparing this sort of thing to Aunt Jemima (which began as a caricature of an antebellum era African American slave) is pretty ridiculous.

[@baylinkdashyt]

I'm on Vault's side here: Nissin is in fact a Japanese company; they're entitled to make their own decisions about what's offensive *to Japanese people*; doing it for them is both colonial and Politically Correct (in the worst way).
