"Steak and burgers make me happy, and I like being happy." Words to live by

I was probably watching this showing of Ghostbusters, as I had been crazy about the film since seeing it at the theater when I was 7. I had the toys, watched the cartoon, went as a Ghostbuster for Halloween of 85, and you can bet I was anxiously awaiting the sequel that was coming out the year these commercials aired.

My first car was a 98' Eclipse convertible...and boy do I miss that car. Bought it brand new off of the lot 💜. Surprisingly gave me no problems whatsoever..drove her until 2 yrs. ago when I accidentally went over a curb on a stormy night, and both right tires went out. Also there was quite alot of underside rust ( I live in snowy MinneSNOWta) and the friction from hitting the curb put a huge hole in it, and that was the end. It was a cute little coupe.

The car advertised here was a 1G Eclipse. It was completely redesigned for the ‘95 model year.

@@80sCommercialVault Awesome. I had a GSX. Of course I know the model in this commercial was older 😉👍.

[@yusakug]

Ruthless People is a funny film that has kind of been forgotten over time. DeVito is great in it. I need to watch that one again.

[@mniscmoney]

That guy who narrated the Hoover commercial has such a distinctive voice and I've also heard him in several movie trailers from the time, such as Gremlins 2 and Clerks.

Tropicana ad looks like they filmed it inside a glass of orange juice

Gotta love Pete and Pete's dad in a Burger King commercial.

[@rylar717]

power windows back then was one of those cool, new features to look forward to in a car upgrade as long as it was affordable.

Worryfree Carpet- That tightrope scene looks like a fever dream that the man might have had at some point. Cheetos- I bet getting your foot run over that many times and flattened to a size as big as monster truck tire is every bit as painful as it looks, even in a cartoon.

Never knew how to use a fax machine though my mom had one just gathering dust at my childhood home. Only learned how to use a photo copier machine in 2012 😆😆

Take a look at Hardy Rawls clearly glancing down at his cue card as he finishes saying "Who does it?"

[@DanZero77]

It looked like the Anchorbot 5000 needed a little more work as he led off on the update just before that! Two words hardly ever heard of anymore - MCI & Fax

[@Urvy1A]

Yes, a rebroadcast of Ghostbusters!

32 years later, "free quality medical care" in America still sounds like a fantasy

[@Lovejazz01]

In 2017 the Mitsubishi Eclipse was a crossover .... I wonder they were advertising an ‘88 Royale in ‘89?

[@ununpopular]

Haha, my first car was a handmedown Plymouth Sundance. What a piece of shit.

[@TTrigg]

Beef-Kim and Timothy should hook up,they have something in common Worryfree Carpet-"Umm youll have to get the OJ yourself..no way am i walking that tightrope again.." The Wonder Years-might be a lot of yelling in the Lee Daniels reboot Hoopernan-i bet it was scenario B China Beach-the obligatory"let your hair down and relax" episode..every war-themed show should have one KIVI Newswatch 6 Promo-reminds me of that Family Guy episode where they did a spoof on these kinds of promos Uncle Ben's Rice In An Instant-"..it looks nice.." Diet Coke-the ad with George Michael's newest single"Somebody Gimme A Break(With No Music)" . MCI Fax-New techno-thriller,The Fax Conspiracy,is coming soon

9:13 in the 80s and earlier 90s before the internet got big lots of politically incorrect jokes and weird stuff was sent by fax. Like Hustler knockoff cartoons and fake contracts and wacky lists and stuff like that. The type of stuff that would be sent by e-mail forwards later on. This is what I mean. www.wikiwand.com/en/Faxlore
