OMG! For the past few hours I’ve been binging on 1970s commercials. 😂

10:17 - "Join your favorite celebrities as they risk life and limb..." Shows someone dancing with a monkey in a tutu...

[@MrJayRoc78]

Thanks to the Sony Betamax I won’t miss the new episodes of my favorite shows!!

[@timothysprengeler4071]

3:24--I still can't get over the size of those first-generation VCR's. Everything electronic seems to have shrunk since it first came out.

[@christineferreira2181]

I had an aunt who had a Betamax but only her

[@joecarroll3371]

I remember watching Circus Of The Stars all throughout the 80s at my Grandma's house.

[@christineferreira2181]

Lots of Timex commercials here. I now want to buy a watch 😊

CBS Special Presentation bumper-gets me every time..it wouldnt hurt for them to bring it back once in a while for holiday programming Young & Foolish-wonder if any of them mentioned being arrested for something.. Flying High-Disco love..was there any other kind?

[@timothysprengeler4071]

1:53--"It takes a licking and keeps on ticking." That was certainly one of the most iconic advertising slogans of the day! 10:26--Wow; i remember that K Mart Christmas jingle very well! Kind of sad to see them going the way of the passenger pigeon. Sure wish they still had the 1,300 stores promoted in this commercial.

Can I just go back to the 70s please!

[@SoUtHMeMpHis]

On your way drop me off in the 80s...and I don't need a round trip ticket.

[@sonicmoremusic1]

[@rylar717]

The gas tank talks like Rodney and he plays two parts lol

[@1963Iota]

2:55 "Flying High"....ain't nothing like a little Disco Love 😆

[@kimalbright7539]

When the line "finding love with disco love" had me laughing so hard.

[@jamesmc75]

The kid in the Polaroid commercial is the kid from "Over the Top"

[@95keat]

The battery is in the film pack Ok, that is actually really clever

[@manterprise]

Thank you!

[@dawnjensen5615]

Thank you for this.

[@tadool5352]

I remember the beta max commercial & I got that very same timer as my first watch too-I think I got the idea to ask for it from this commercial!😀

[@DanZero77]

Once again those Rifftrax guys were right on - "CBS must be trying its all crappy special strategy!" As for sheriff Buford Pusser, he's no fan of "Disco Love!"

[@bryanbear4727]

This is awesome tv commercial from the 70s

[@typorter-pp6lh]

1:30 Ed Begley Jr.?

[@happyplaces683]

Definitely...! Before he became famous in the NBC hit drama"St Elsewhere."

[@sirlordford]

@@happyplaces683 More like Spinal Tap.
