YESSSS! I was praying we’d get some more Sammy Terry! Love that guy. I like the chyron introducing him as “Samuel Terry (Ghoul)”. 😂

[@80sCommercialVault]

Today is the start of the 2023 Halloween Marathon! One video will be uploaded per day until Halloween, 13 days of horror! 🎃💀🎃

[@GruvPod1]

Tradition 🎶

[@dinahkyle3196]

TRADITION!!!

[@jhutto1984]

You know it's the Halloween season when the Sammy Terry videos start appearing again. :D

[@dinahkyle3196]

Good to see my old friend Sammy Terry

[@Vicki_Benji]

I loved watching Sammy Terry when I was a kid!! George! ❤ I recognize a lot of these commercials from central Indiana. Thanks for the memories!

[@Rouglas]

I was DYING for some Sammy Terry this year. Thanks for delivering the goods and your incredible work.

[@SaffronSparrows]

Sammy Terry is here. Let Halloween begin!

[@darktetsuya]

definitely my favorite time of year on this channel, the annual halloween marathon featuring the old episodes of sammy terry... didn't grow up with him (and george!) but I see him here every year so it's kind of a tradition now, haha.

[@vhsaves]

Jealous of all the lucky souls who got to be terrified from 7 to 11pm in Monticello, Indiana - just north of the interstate

[@01FozzyS]

Lol that Southern Belle commercial! Just about any local commercial cracks me up.

[@hopegrimsley3427]

As a proud Hoosier by choice, these Sammy Terry segments really resonate with me. Thank you, thank you!

[@HoosierGarage]

No doubt, this was the time to be alive in Indiana! Lol

[@DanZero77]

Sammy Terry's back! YEAH! Great marathon it will be! Plus I love the local ads here! PANTERA'S Pizza? Vulgar Display Of Flour! Or, "Dammit Pantera, this pizza is cold, get me another one!"

[@kitw76]

Born and raised in the Indy area! I remember Sammy Terry. Hope there’s a Dons Guns commercial… “cause I just love to sell guns”

[@80sCommercialVault]

There was no Don's Guns ad in this recording but I've posted two in the past recorded from WTTV: Vol. 248: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3XKZGuprspsmqc&start=542 Vol. 939: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6nGlnigiaZ7isU

[@WWJD85]

@@80sCommercialVault I just watched that block and I laughed when Don's Guns came after a tom raper rv commerical.

[@mrsrobophile]

@@WWJD85 Lord, they're good people! Don't forget Blossom Chevrolet. 😂

[@yusakug]

You have to wonder what the pitch for a movie like Soul Man was, and what made the studio say yes. I mean, if I was a struggling writer back then, and knew my idea had been rejected, but Soul Man got accepted, I might have been upset.

[@80sCommercialVault]

You made me curious about who actually wrote "Soul Man" and it was...the lady who created "The Wonder Years"? www.imdb.com/name/nm0085209/ It almost makes me wonder if the movie was made to generate controversy, as it ultimately was successful at the time, even if virtually nobody talks about it today.

[@yusakug]

@@80sCommercialVault I will say this for the movie - it has a great music video for the film's title song, performed by Sam Moore and Lou Reed. Any video that has a cameo by Bruce Willis AND Gumby singing along to the song (seperately, not together, unfortunately) gets a 10 in my book. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHPHZYarebOmfbM

[@fossefan]

@@80sCommercialVault I'll also say that Soul Man, like Just One of the Guys, owes a lot to Tootsie. If you watch the three movies in close succession, certain repeated plot points or bits of characterization are noticable.

[@80sCommercialVault]

@@fossefan A lot of screenplays definitely start out as carbon copies of more successful films. The subject matter might change but the story beats generally are the same.

[@TTrigg]

Sammy Terry-imagine a cinematic universe of sorts with him,Elvira and Svengoolie Taco Bell-back when they used real beef Pantera's Pizza-ask for the "Cemetery Gates"special 😆 Slice-loved the Cherry Cola variety Three's Company-r.i.p Suzanne Somers 😢😢😞

[@WWJD85]

Halloween candy makes these blocks better.

[@hygge_angstrom]

23:02 R.I.P. Suzanne Somers

[@andrewhopkins1010]

The Bounty commercial with Nancy Walker (AKA Rosie) reminds me of seeing the movie The Bounty in 1984 when I was 4. The only thing that I remember is being confused about where Rosie was.

[@diceman74]

I am so excited for the marathon this year! You are so awesome for doing this!

[@huskobonsarune]

It's not Halloween on this Channel without Sammy Terry

[@CMmeows]

Carlton Banks tap dancing goes up there with dancing to Tom Jones

[@Legend813a]

Sammy needed more reverb.

[@WWJD85]

Hey its are old friend Sammy Terry.

[@iwest2417]

Yo, Sammy Terry! Speak up! We can't hear you in the back!

[@WWJD85]

What's Sammy Terry supposed to be a exactly?

[@80sCommercialVault]

0:59

[@WWJD85]

@@80sCommercialVault Thanks.

[@mirnatius]

Soul Man??? 😭💀

[@jasonx1580]

Oh, I'll give Southern Belle a pass on the lack of accent, A bad fake southern accent would have been awful. I think she may have also had a hint of what passes for a "southern" accent in the midwest.

[@JFD62780]

40 - "Suit"? It's pronounced, "Sweet!" ...oy. -_-

[@80sCommercialVault]

It's a...local dialect

[@mrsrobophile]

That's a very Indiana way of saying it. Haha. Also "warsh" instead of "wash".
