Retro Commercials Vol 218 (1979-HD)

[@rynwin1]

The movie at 2:16 is "Killer On Board" from 1977!

[@ArmyJames]

Jane Badler (Diana from the V miniseries) at 3:56 !

[@taureanmay1411]

She is.

[@brentmann2988]

10:04 Lester Rawlins speaks for Wendy's. You'll also know his voice from Dunkin' Donuts and MCI commercials in the 80s. 4:12 William Schallert on the voice-over for "The In-Laws." 6:13 John Connell on the VO for Maryland National Bank. He was an actor who became a great commercial voice-over talent.

[@adamscott7354]

Americans argued against clearly mandatory, necessary quarantine back then And still doing it today, haaaaaaahhhhhhhh (sigh) this channel is all about wishing things didn't have to change so much, and yet, occasional reminder that some things stay the same

[@taureanmay1411]

Yes.

It would be nice to see more “real” commercials, not upcoming tv previews😁

[@CB3474]

The Love Boat was in this video!

[@kascnef]

what was the first commercial aired and mixed in stereo?

[@DavesArchives]

+Justin Fencsak Not sure, but the tape had a not so great audio recording. The levels were off quite a bit in some parts, so it may appear to be in stereo or unbalanced.

[@wnychevy09]

+Justin Fencsak -I believe tv networks started broadcasting in stereo in the mid 1980s-NBC I think was the first

[@felix121984]

+Daves Archives I recognize the Lizard Lady from V.

[@mrdorfy]

Jane Balder? Which commercial?

[@taureanmay7480]

@@DavesArchives yes.

[@CrabOfDoom]

Nothing sinister about that Bayer ad at all. Geez. The In-Laws trailer is quite a surprise. I was born in '79, and that was my dad's favorite movie, all through my childhood. We had a Chevette back then, too.

[@taureanmay1411]

Oh.

[@graflex74]

i knew that tuna twist was real....finally i got to see it once again.. !!! yes!! just as i though it was

[@ruthlessdraculigula1051]

You can finally get a good night's rest now, huh?

[@taureanmay7480]

Oh.

[@Stephie2007]

Kind of interesting that the movie they were showing at the time was about people on a cruise getting sick from a disease and not that long ago IRL a bunch of cruise ship passengers had to be quarantined because some passengers tested positive for coronavirus. Coincidence? I think not.

[@taureanmay1411]

Oh well.

[@taureanmay7480]

More ads from 1979.

[@taureanmay7480]

Wow.

Liver for dinner? Runaway from home , but call that hotline, I did, and over a lot less.

[@freebird0147]

Lol, i hope your parents beat you when you got home. :)

[@mrdorfy]

Ha! My mom would torture us in the early 1980s with liver. It was cheap. I never remember actually eating it.

[@theangrycowb0y]

Whew -- that Thursday night NBC line-up. Must have been nice to go on that Cosby/Cheers/Seinfeld run.

Lolz. Good point. Cheers wasn't an immediate success, though.
