I feel ya Incubus, I was 14 living in Bensonhurst Brooklyn and it wasn't always great but I love looking back on the commercials, video games, movies, tv shows, food, etc.

Wow, they were SO SMILEY in the 80's!!! I was 8 in 1989 so I recall but on a different level

9:39 Meta nostalgia. The commercial actually predicted people would be nostalgic for the time the commercial was made.

I miss the 80s

[@generalyellor8188]

I don't. It was the selfish, self-serving decade that started us on the road to where we are now.

[@Misfit_Kitten]

@@generalyellor8188 Can't you let people enjoy something? What a pissant. Why are you even watching an '80s video if you can't stand it?

[@xjcrossx]

Thank you for making this video. What a throwback. I remember a lot of these commercials and hadn't seen them since they first aired. It was such a simpler time and a lot less bitching. Never thought I'd be happy to watch 30 minutes of commercials.

Thank you for sharing. These bring back so many great memories.

Man having this commercials trip sure brings back the good old times. And it makes me smile to know that this was the time I happen to grow up in.

[@VCA72]

Did you see the women in those commercials? They were all fit and attractive (ohh a young Brooke Shields). Imagine that in advertising!!! And, there was no "wokeness" B.S.!!! Yes, it's undeniably true, the 80's were much better times than today. It's a mute point to try and argue.

When the commercials actually represented the people of the country they played in.

[@alexandermatthews145]

I remember ABC having the best sitcom shows back in the late 80s early 90s then they show a 5 second KZbin commercial it messes with my mind Lol

[@dasparado]

I actually won that isle of dreams contest. Well at least I was picked as one of the diggers. I was too young so I had to have my Mom do it in my stead. She dug up the worst prize you could get which were New Kids on the Block concert tickets. There were front row center so I sold them to a girl friend of mine for a decent amount but we missed out on some cool prizes. There were 104 of us and 10 won cruises which put you in the running for big prizes like cars and the million bucks. One guy even dug up some keys that went to a beach house which they won.

[@jarmelo2006]

Man. 1989 was a hard year for us. Mom found out dad was having an affair, lost our house, Hurricane Hugo had made land fall on us, in and out of different family homes where we were not welcome. To this day my dad is about as responsible as a four year old. He just didn't believe in paying bills but he did believe in getting women that could pay his way . I'm really thankful for my mom. It was the saddest I ever felt as a kid. Things was rough. These commercials really take me back to a time when a 6 year boy had to hold back tears and stay strong in a time of turmoil.

These commercials are super relatable and make me actually wanna participate. Most commercials now are just blatantly annoying and elitist.

[@scottw5315]

I don't get the elitist part but they are certainly annoying, not funny, just ugly people doing stupid things. And companies pay for them is unbelievable.

[@alanvallazza9781]

First commercial had the main actor from Larry, Larry and Darryl of Newhart fame. Added in season 2 and by season 4 became a running gag on the show. The characters expanded their amount of time on the show each season.
