Excellent 1980 commercials, my favorite was the Diet Sunkist commercial!!

[@DevlinDomini]

I remember some of these! …..was 9, how nostalgic. Fun fun fun

[@impalaman9707]

Pat Benatar was about as "new wave" as Jethro Tull was 'heavy metal". Leave it to K-Tel to confuse the genres! I recall "Chipmunk Punk" having the Chipmunks singing the Police, "Don't Stand So Close to Me"🤣🤣🤣 Yeah, REAL punk!🤣🤣🤣

My mother bought Roman Meal Bread, it was good.

I was 5 years old living in Clearwater Florida at the time

2:15 - 1979: Wow, #DiscoDemolitionNight!! 1980: Wow, *Earth, Wind & Fire!!* :P

[@impalaman9707]

I guess someone never got the memo that DISCO SUCKS!

[@steveferguson823]

Was class of 1980: go class of 1980 1980 had good music class of 1980 rocked.

[@impalaman9707]

And it was simpler back then. Lyrics you could understand, and no sub-sub-sub-sub genres of rock that are most confusing now. Punks and Metalheads hung out together

[@usa02]

The ending v/os for the "Fade to Black" movie ad, Valvolene and Jesse Jeans ads, the Orange County Register of Voters ad and the KNBC Station ID were v/o by the late Victor Bozeman.

6:32 What accent is that? It seemed to jump between Australia, to LA, to South Jersey, to NY...wtf???

[@funkster007]

They're from NC.

[@brentmann2988]

LOL! I was thinking the same thing! Sounds like Australians who were trying to do an American accent, but they were from North Carolina. Very odd accent.

[@impalaman9707]

@@brentmann2988 You got to understand--NC is right off the coast from Britain so its a mix of your standard Southern accent with the Cockney English, so you have people saying the word "No" as "neaau" or "so" as "sayou"--or not pronouncing their "Rs"!

[@brentmann2988]

@@impalaman9707 It's a unique accent, that's for sure!

[@michaellong3836]

Is that Al Bundy's neighbor, Steve Rhodes, in that Chewel's gum commercial at 16:20?

[@charlesjnbjbnbngb8518]

I think so

[@maxxt3916]

And I think the other guy was the truck driver from Friday the 13th part 1.

[@davestewart2067]

One week before before the election.
