Was only 1 when these aired, so always fascinated in this era, even if I have no nostalgic connection to it.
I love this era as well, and wasn’t born until 1983.
I was born in 1970 and I remember the Dr Pepper commercial!
New Jersey Bank- The animation style used in this commercial reminds me of the “Schoolhouse Rock” cartoons that I used to watch in grade school.
32. Brutt 33- Seeing how those antiperspirant can costumes that the people in this commercial are wearing were designed, I can imagine it would be one of the most uncomfortable experiences they ever had.
This must have aired during a rerun of SNL that featured Steve Martin debuting his song "King Tut," along with an opening number by The Blues Brothers (right after Paul Shaffer's Don Kurshner impression), and Martin and Gilda Radnor's famous dance sequence. Many people consider this the greatest single episode of SNL!
Yes, this was a repeat of that episode
Ahhh...my favorite stuff. NYC metro broadcast content from the '75-'86 era! Thanks so much!!!
16:58 - This woman seems to be on the verge of a breakdown. Luckily the cartoon toilet genie appeared and…Wait, that’s probably a sign of a breakdown…
21:36 - All the cool kids back then understood the metric system.
WNBC! I see what you did there with the "Rock Concert" promo!
The silent Super 8 wars were heating up in '78 but so was the metric system. LOL!
RIP Genovese & Korvettes.
Wonder if Steve was a Stonecutter already when he made those commercials. Always enjoy the 70s commercials.
17:30 - if you play this backwards, does Buddy Hackett say Satanic messages?
Schaefer Beer-when having more than just one,you shouldn't get back in the plane
Polaroid Polarvision-Carey Mahoney was a wedding photographer before he joined the police academy
Newscenter 4 ending-turn out the lights before leaving the studio
Schick Personal Touch Razor-with Shelley Smith(r.i.p)
The Driver-one of the inspirations for the Driver video game series
Wilkinson Twin Blade Razor Cartridges-she seems like a supervillain
Foul Play-always beware the dwarf...
Sha Na Na-love the band member sneaking into the background when the dance number was almost over
Contract On Cherry Street-whatever you do,do not make Frank Sinatra angry
Eyes Of Laura Mars-good film..poster creeped me out
4C Iced Tea Mix-it makes you see double..or triple
Saturday Night Live commercial bumper-Steve Martin is thinking "finally these cameras can stop following me around.."
Hooper-this could almost be considered as the Bandit's origin story
It seems Steve Guttenberg did a lot of commercial work before films like Diner and Police Academy!
I had no idea Buddy Hacket was so fluent in Yiddish.
Is that what that was. I thought it sounded like a strange dialect of German (which it is).
Well that whole metric system sure took off....
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_Conversion_Act
The Metric Conversion Act of 1975 signed into law by Gerald Ford established a board known as the United States Metric Board that was responsible for implementing the metric system across various industries and educate the general populace about converting to the metric system.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Metric_Board
Ronald Reagan abolished the United States Metric Board in 1982.
I personally like using metric when I cook but I totally understand when I need to keep to imperial units for friends and family.

It's incredible that Dick Van Dyke is still alive in 2024
Wonder if he has the same genes as Keith Richards.
