80's Commercials Vol. 457

[@DanZero77]

CYBORG STRENGTH Dristan. For being at your lifeless best all day!

[@Silvergun_Raven]

That guy in the Dristan commercial looks extremely pissed off! haha!

[@Zanaaa50]

I had an "The Animalympics" lunchbox! Don't recall ever seeing the cartoon tie-in and I disliked carrying that lunchbox for that exact reason! My dear departed aunt drove a Chevy Chevette -- I had lots and lots of good times in that car with her and the whole gang of cousins I grew up with.

[@blind_t2]

there's only one thing i can think of when i think of that car, now i'm a 90's kid, but thanks to reruns of this, i still think of this! Now, look behind those doors, wouldn't it be exciting if you could win that!!!! a new caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!!!!

[@hopegrimsley3427]

Wow, almost 40 years ago!

[@BrotherHerbert]

I had a 12" wind-up Twiki when I was little. Might still have it somewhere... I remember the malls having Phone Center Stores. This is back in the days when you still had to get your phone from the phone company instead of going to a K-Mart or a drug store to buy a cheap phone. That's Nancy Dussault in the Coast commercial, before she became Ted Knight's wife on "Too Close for Comfort."

[@JohnnyUtah15]

After reading your comment, I had to go back and watch the Coast commercial. I can't believe I missed that. It sure is Nancy. Good eye.

A space berg. A space berg? A SPACE BERG!?

[@80sCommercialVault]

SPACE BERG RIGHT AHEAD!!!

[@hrtvfan2870]

Catfish Hunter. Easily the most famous person from my hometown of Hertford, North Carolina.

[@thrasher6499]

theres always a space berg that wants to destroy the earth lol

[@Jeff98177]

3:00 Casey Kasem, Gilda Radner, Michael Landon, Eddie Albert. All gone now.

[@80sCommercialVault]

These commercials ARE approaching 40 years old.

[@Jeff98177]

Yes, but so many big names mentioned so close together.

[@80sEric]

No wonder I don't remember Karl Malden as "Skag"- it only lasted six episodes.

[@PowerGlove79]

lol, I was just over a month old when this aired.

[@chrisutley2859]

Like the Downy sponsor tag!

[@YodaPagoda]

It's probably not surprising that these commercials resemble the 70s commercials, but wow... Volkswagen called, Chevy, they want their Rabbit back! I never eat Fritos unless they're the Chili kind. It's weird seeing promos for Little House and CHiPs, I remember those!

[@80sCommercialVault]

Every ad here (barring the promos) would have been made in 1979.

[@mst3kanita]

I love that thumbnail

[@TTrigg]

Buck Rogers-loved that show,shame that it jumped the shark in the second season when they turned it into a Star Trek clone Quincy-must've used the"going undercover in jail" trope Liittle House-aww the baby was killed in that house fire 8( BJ & The Bear-seemed like an emotional subplot in that episode :(

[@BrotherHerbert]

I don't recall too much of that "Quincy" episode but it wasn't an undercover thing. He went in to investigate and had to convince the prisoners that he wasn't trying to double-cross them. I think it ended up being a cover-up involving the warden.

[@Whtxombi]

I always preferred Buck Rogers to Battlestar Galactica. BR had a sense of humor and the writing was much better.

[@miketroncin749]

Spaceberg = very slow comet?
