80s Thanksgiving Season Commercials, Promos, Segments & Bumpers

Have a cozy 80s Thanksgiving!

[@randall2034]

This is when holidays felt magical! And it was a fun special good times! Holidays don’t feel like this anymore! It’s all online shopping.. no malls,no holiday specials. No magical feel to McDonald’s. No big department stores, I’m glad I grew up in the 80s as a kid ❤️

[@BomberMonkAssassin32]

I feel the same way im 44 yrs old when it comes to the holiday season now it ain't the same no more most of the shopping malls are closed up yeah Kmart & sears are gone let me get a time machine and go back to the 80s & 90s to relive the best times

[@msbigdog1460]

​@@BomberMonkAssassin32hey, I completely agree with you both! I'm 55 and the 70's & 80's are the very best decades of my life for so many reasons. All my family & friends were alive and well, the Macy's day parade was worth watching, it was a more peaceful time and way of life. No cellphones, no internet, slower pace of living and the music was the best. If you get a time machine gimme a heads up cause I wanna go back too! 😢

[@brentturner7232]

I agree 100%. My heart breaks when I think back to those days, because I know they'll never happen. I turned 45 not too long ago, and this is so nice to watch. The crowded malls, the tv specials, the sitcoms doing their holiday episodes. My parents always made the holidays special for my brother and I, and I am trying to do that for my kids. Happy holidays to all.

[@1776_Garage]

​​@@brentturner7232Same to you

[@tyrannozilla]

The holidays can still feel magical. For one, it's not all online shopping. Where I'm from, there are still people that crowd the local mall and superstores when they want to buy something around that time, and not just on Black Friday. Also, sometimes they go shopping because they can't always find what they want online, or they compare the prices. When it comes to watching holiday specials, even if they aren't always on TV, a family can make a few suggestions on what they want to watch together and plan it ahead of time. My point is that it's not all black and white/doom and gloom. There can still be a fun feeling around the holidays. It just depends on how you and other people want it to feel.

[@robs5252]

Please someone figure out time travel so I can go back to this decade and relive it all over again.

When I see these commercials I remember how the holiday spirit used to feel like. I lost that feeling by the early 90s. Something happened to the world that stripped that feeling from me, and reading some of the comments I see I'm not the only one!

[@Goonies-xh3qr]

I know what you are saying, but I didn't let the PC movement ruin it for me. It's up to you and me to keep this thing going.

[@jeffreylebowski3280]

Goonies1632 stop with the “PC movement” crap. It was a different time that had zero to do with what’s PC or not. The world is so much more complicated today and we (you, me, & the rest of us commenters) are getting older with much less certainty in the future.

[@jzen1455]

Same here but it had nothing to do with things being PC. For me, it was because my parents divorced in 1991 and my dad died in 1992. I then had to go from living in an intact fairly normalish happy family to living in a broken chaotic home with my mom and her abusive bf.

[@AntLive-lu5qx]

[@olben1095]

Yes, better times.

[@jeffreylebowski3280]

Goonies1632 - i was 10 when the 80’s began. I loved growing up in the 80’s - didn’t have a care in the world cuz my parents had secure jobs. But all was not great. Reagan & his cronies unleashed unfettered greed which led to the runaway capitalism we see today. Companies were forced to layoff to boost share prices & executive bonuses. So spare me how things are so bad now. While many things have changed, some not for the better, the executive/shareholder greed is even worse. And yes we have more diversity today which I know upsets racists like you.

[@frankrizzo4460]

Someone invent a time machine I'd go back in a heartbeat great memories back then.

[@HarkWhoGoesThere]

All the sales are called "Thanksgiving Sales" not "Black Friday," and they start at 8 the morning after Thanksgiving and not at 3am or midnight -- or even worse -- the afternoon or evening of Thanksgiving Day! One of the sales is touted as an event "for early Christmas shoppers." These days if you dare wait til Thanksgiving weekend you'll be a 'last-minute' shopper! 😜

[@chrissyj9489]

Being here makes me feel so good because I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s and it absolutely was a better time before all of this technology that has basically destroyed society because it hasn’t been controlled and used properly. Back then we literally did not lock our doors, families ate together and we talked to each other. It was the very basic things in fact in the 70s nothing was allowed to be open on Sundays so I remember my parents and grandparents saying hurry up and get your gas on Saturday night because you can’t get it on Sunday, it forced us to be together and go to church. We had great TV back then with great shows. The holidays were so much different and people truly were nice with more patience because we had to wait for everything even popcorn today everything’s instant and if you don’t get it in a matter of a second people get upset and love their patience.
