I have now watched every single Vol. of the 80's commercial vault and the 90's commercial vault. Just want to thank you for all your time editing and posting these on here, they are a great nostalgia trip for me. I look forward to every new one you Publish. Thanks again.

LOL @ Punky Brewster promo at second-hand smoke at 9:59. 1984 = innocent laughter. 2014 = protests, riots, public outcry demanding an appology, detraction, and public awareness.

[@wigglyboots2]

Please never stop posting these.

[@YTP1137]

This makes me want to live in the 80s.

[@BrianKelly1979]

So the suit that Michael Keaton/Johnny Dangerously was wearing is blue & white striped and Michel Keaton/Beetlejuice's suit is black & white striped...so logically Johnny Dangerously died and in the afterlife became Beetlejuice!

oh snap

[@Ravenheart1611]

Mind blown

Re: The football promo. The games highlighted were the two that would determine the lone remaining AFC playoff spot open, the AFC Central championship. Cincinnati (who had overcome an 0-5 start) could clinch it at 8-8 by defeating Buffalo and the Raiders beating Pittsburgh. The Bengals held their end of the bargain, trampling lowly Buffalo 52-17; but the Steelers beat the defending champion Raiders later that day 13-7; costing Cincinnati the division while forcing the Raiders to play the wildcard game vs. the Seahawks at Seattle instead of L.A.)

I can't believe someone actually wrote a script where they had Dick Clark compare dance shaking to Parkinsons.

[@XXSomeDudeXX]

Same here.

[@SageShini]

Yeah my jaw dropped when I heard that.

[@RetroGirl85]

yeah .. its incredible irony, almost like he was talking about his future decline in health, which unfortunately was the beginning of the end for him :( New Year's eve isn't the same without him.

Genesee - a beer AND a street!

[@RetroGirl85]

Wow, Jamie Farr was so much younger there.. hard to believe he is 80 now

[@marcomacias3960]

you know Michael Keaton look like a reformed Beetlejuice with blue stripes instead of black

[@TheGmoney4980]

I forgot that Johnny Dangerously was BATMAN! I always remembered Mr Mom was BATMAN!

[@RetroGirl85]

and Beetlejuice!! :)

[@HamptonRoadsTVFan]

"Promo for "The Jeffersons" (These promos where they just play some short random clip are SO weird and fascinating to me)" A lot of older WYAH/WGNT promos I've seen and uploaded seem to have followed the same concept of "putting a series of random clips together for a promo" pattern

[@e3erockstar08]

Who ever wrote that PSA for Parkinson's for Dick Clark needs to be fired. Could you imagine a commercial like that TODAY?!

[@80sCommercialVault]

It's just a dumb joke from a time when people didn't care about offending everyone. No need for the manufactured outrage.

[@TheBigclay03]

Johnny dangerously was funny

[@RobertMahoney1969]

Haven't seen the movie since it came out and I still remember the line "My mother did that to me once....ONCE!"

[@FSinWCR]

Wow, the Ponderosa ad is ripping off "Alice's Restaurant"

[@JMein13074]

I honestly hope Guthrie sued them.

[@80sCommercialVault]

What makes you think they didn't have permission?

Questions: Why Jerry Office look more like Bill Gates? I was confused with Joe's (from Kodak commercial) skin color because of the shading. I have no idea why did the little kid gave the gift for an older friend. Is Joe her dad or something?
