80's Commercials Vol. 542

[@michaelg1009]

Thank you for the best KZbin channel . I love the 80s because I was raised in that decade.

[@HonkyTonkBuffalo]

I'm from Ohio, and I watched Sammy Terry EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND!! I loved his show so much. I still tell people of it's awesomeness even today. This and the commercials bring back so many amazing memories. :D Thank you so much for sharing this.

I love strolling down memory lane with this commercials

[@yusakug]

The Sammy Terry show reminds me so much of the Grandpa Fred character from Gremlins 2, and the show he had in that movie. Or maybe it's the fact that "George" sounds like a Mogwai that makes me think of it. Whatever the reason, I need to re-watch Gremlins 2. Thanks for the reminder.

[@80sCommercialVault]

I believe the direct inspiration for that character was Grandpa Al Lewis' stint of hosting horror movies on TBS for their show "Super Scary Saturday", as the fictional cable network in the movie is mocking TBS/Ted Turner. It's possible that the writer of the screenplay/Joe Dante was inspired by other local horror hosts though. "Gremlins 2" is one of my favorites

I grew up on channel 4. Sammy Terry and Cowboy Bob were it.

As a proud Hoosier transplant, I enjoy these Indianapolis ads immensely! As I mentioned on another volume, I love Sammy Terry’s “pet,” George.

[@ITP_Ryan_J]

I agree! I’m 41 years old and I remember these like it was yesterday. George is dope AF them and now lol

[@hopegrimsley3427]

@@ITP_Ryan_J yes!! I was listening to the car radio last night and on the air was Sammy Terry and George! It made me so happy. The legacy continues!

Sammy Terry......oh so fun. Thanks for posting.

[@JosephASobora]

Aired on my 1st birthday, good to see some rare commercials from a different station in Indianapolis, Indiana!

[@YodaPagoda]

I googled "8225 West Washington" in Indianapolis...and sure enough, Budget is still there! I see George Costanza has a kindred spirit in TV Guide.

[@danielshimoda9246]

Yes! I've been waiting for Halloween commercials :)

[@syferdet]

11:24 ...and there will be other vague references to sporting events we can't name directly because we spent our budget on that Disney sound effects album...

[@DumpsterFire.92]

_Navy vs. The Night Monsters_ sounds like a weird football game.

[@DanZero77]

At first I thought "what kind of a horror host name is Sammy Terry?" Then I said it. I got it now. Country Gentleman Work-BEAR?

[@johnbrandon4713]

No. No. No. No... no. NO. IT MUST BE CHARMIN. NO. GOD NO.

[@WWJD85]

Mr. Whipple seems more mellow in the 80s.

[@SCTVFan1]

On #27: Amoco commercial - RIP Monty Hall (Let's Make A Deal) and Don Pardo (SNL Announcer)

[@darktetsuya]

oh is that supposed to be a play on 'cemetery'? ha I just got that. :P don't recall ever seeing him though I assume he was mainly in that particular area? some neat segments, though

[@80sCommercialVault]

He was a local horror host, not broadcast or shown nationally. So he was famous/iconic in Indiana but nowhere else. Back then virtually every local affiliate had some sort of horror host like this that showed B movies.

[@piscesempress1978]

@@80sCommercialVault We watched him in SW Ohio- Dayton/huber heights cause we got channel 4.. Watched him every weekend, and had pizza lol

[@TYTDReviews]

this is so WNUF halloween special its untrue! xD

[@thrasher6499]

RIP monty hall

[@mvangord1]

Does Sammy Terry have a friend named Gabe Yard?

[@TTrigg]

Sammy Terry-wouldve loved to see an ST/Elvira crossover.."Navy VS The Night Monsters"? that movie would be good for a remake..Syfy,get on it Taco Bell-back when they used real ground beef lol Matchmaker International-the precursor to eHarmony,Match.com etc

[@80sCommercialVault]

Re: "Navy Vs. The Night Monsters"...the title is awful and the wiki for the movie says that nearly everybody involved with the movie but the producer hated it, and the cast almost walked out on the movie because of the title. It's not a bad B-movie for the time though. I'm partial to any movie with evil, man-eating tree monsters though.

[@indyftwchicagoftl6021]

First time for indiana

[@80sCommercialVault]

This isn't the first time I've posted anything recorded from Indiana. Vols. 158-164 and Vols. 248 and 249 were also recorded from WTTV. kzbin.infosearch?query=wttv
