Holy cow, I had completely forgotten those Glade Country Pottery air fresheners! My mom had one in every bathroom. I loved those, shame they don't make them anymore. What a trip down memory lane!
There are still country pottery pots on my kitchen and bathroom windowsills. They've been there since I was a kid. They don't smell anymore, but they've become as much a fixture in the rooms as the sinks themselves.
Just subscribed to your channel. I appreciate all the work you've put into posting these commercials. They really speak for the times they were in. The commercials today are so boring and one-dimensional I have to ask why I even have a TV anymore. Having grown up in this time period it brings back memories. Some of these commercials in this particular video are more entertaining than a lot of the TV shows shown today. A loss of creativity and an overall lack of motivation are probably the primary factors.
The real problem is the cost. Since reality shows cost less money than scripted shows or biographies, networks are flocking to them, since people insist on stealing entertainment.
@80sCommercialVault Thank you. You hit it dead on the head in your response to 5tocko. I'm so thankful others remember the way networks used to function. Scifi (before being ruined and turned into syfy), mtv, vh1, A&E, history channel, TLC, Discovery channel.. the list goes on with stations that have reformatted in some way or the other with the network execs giving the finger to loyal viewers who were the base which they built upon in the first place.
Because these commercials instill both a unique feeling of nostalgic wistfulness and a longing for simpler times within the viewer? An even better question...why comment at all?
I wonder if the honey in the Honey Dijon Ranch used to be the "Honey, you can't do this to me" honey from the Light Ranch ad. Another dark secret of The Hidden Valley...
Sponsored by America's Dairy Farmers and the National Dairy Board. I'm guessing that the popularity of margarine in the 70's and 80's cut into their business a lot.
Ah,the old school metlife commercials of the 90s,where they would actually use the Peanuts characters instead of nowadays "HEY GUYS LOOKIT HOW GOOD WE ARE WITH NOSTALGIA REMEMBER THEM LOOKIT US WE R DIFFERENT"...different times now.
Ugh. "Ratings Pressure" shouldn't cause a network to cease the programming it was designed to provide. Cable channels in the 80's had mission statements of sorts, to provide specific kinds of programming for specific demographics. A&E's was biographies and history. Nearly all of these cable channels have devolved into playing virtually identical reality shows, meaning that most of the good programming has moved to satellite. Just keep ignoring how shitty the world has become, 2000's apologist.
I agree, I just can't with reality tv anymore. Most of it isn't even "reality". I think the closest we had to reality tv in this time was talk shows. But being a kid, I didn't really watch things geared towards adults.
SanAntonioian17 No doubt, plus you had documentaries every now and then. I guess Cops falls into that as well. I recall when MTV first came out with the Real World/Road Rules, everyone lost their shit. I admit, I watched some, but I've grown bored with all the stupid antics and famewhores. I'm by no means uptight, but I can't help but roll my eyes at how obsessed people are with socialite pornstars (Kim K. and Paris H.), teenage moms, and rich bitch housewives. I'm still watching old stuff from the 90s now as an adult. So I am noticing a difference between adult tv and kid tv of that time. However, I don't see the kind of garbage we have now.
***** No kidding. I stopped watching Road Rules around mid 2000s for it was boring. As for Real World, San Diego (2004) was the last time I watched. Reality TV has gotten out of control to the point of everybody has a show.
The Agatha Christie Hour! Now I remember why I watched A&E a lot in the early 90s (after reading And Then There Were None in 7th grade, I spent the next two years devouring her entire ouevre). Was it just me, or did the playing of "The Four Seasons" over shots of Madonna and Roseanne seem really out of place? UA Cable? I hope they were better run than UA Theaters.
Unfortunately what they're doing to A&E now is what they have been doing to MTV, the only difference in MTV's programming is now aimed towards adolescents.
80sCommercialVault I like what you said about reality tv. At first it was kind of interesting, but it's really become too much. I tried to only view the "educational" reality shows, but eventually became just as disgusted by them. What bugs me even more is how that sort of style has seeped into the movie industry. What's next? Newest reality show hit: Let's throw some random kids into a ring to duke it out over the latest Iphone! Shocking things you've never seen before with special commentary by a Kardasian!! DUB DUB DUB! WUB WUB WUB!!
The worst of the worst is the shows you see on MTV and MTV2. You don't have to have a brain to watch those, and they're completely insulting without being in the least funny. While there were a couple things I didn't like about Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Family Matters, they were nowhere near as offensive or obnoxious as the material you see now. What seems to pass as content today is something that is either as violent as Game of Thrones, or something as vomit-inducing as My Sweet 16.
Im Caj Despite how much I hate the MTV channels now, I still feel they're some sort of "rite of passage" for each new generation. I was born in the 80s and didn't get into MTV until the late 90s/early 2000s. I looked back at the shows that were on then and think, "Why was I even interested in that crap?" Then I grew out of it. I see the same comments from ppl who were into MTV 5 years later and 5 years later than that. I wasn't watching MTV when it first came into fruition, but overall I view it as one big frat party. Some people grow out of it and others don't. But it's always catered to the "materialistic youth". That's my view anyhow.
By the time MTV reached it's 30th year anniversary, nobody gave a shit about it anymore. The original MTV generation along with the generation who grew up watching MTV in the '90s have all moved on. But the point I want to make is on reality TV, not MTV. The sad thing I see in most of these shows now is how everything is forced. I think American Chopper started the trend where one character despises the other simply because of the way he "does" things. All the dad was there for was to put his son down, and I really felt bad for his son during the show's run. Then producers for other reality shows started to copy the same formula of one character hating the next, and now you got all these shows where it just feels force fed to the masses in hopes that they will continue to watch. Shows of the early '90s were NOT like that. Granted I did not like Uncle Phil on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, but there was never a time where I absolutely despised him like so many reality TV show characters today. Maybe that's why I get a little sad and nostalgic for the commercials of the '90s, because it was a different world back then.
Holy cow, I had completely forgotten those Glade Country Pottery air fresheners! My mom had one in every bathroom. I loved those, shame they don't make them anymore. What a trip down memory lane!
To be honest we should be thankful that folks such as yourself do your best to preserve such memories for the rest of us
That piece of butter on top of the turkey is killing me!
I used to have those pottery air fresheners in my appartment...I can still remember the smell LOL

American Dairy Farmers/National Dairy Board. The logo is at 4:51.
Omg, that "put out the pottery" jingle. I shouldn't find this as funny as I do.
i wish it was the nineties again... : (
PUT OUT THE POTTERY! Put it here, put it there!
That honey dijon ranch dressing looks REALLY good! I wonder if it's still sold.
The real problem is the cost. Since reality shows cost less money than scripted shows or biographies, networks are flocking to them, since people insist on stealing entertainment.
Boy A&E has CHANGED.
Remember when people didn't have to dial area codes first.
Oh my God look at the clothes in Nolands! Wow soooo 90s!
cool 90's commercials. LOL 13. MMMMM... BUTTER!
and 16. YAY! snoopy. SNOOPY PWNS ALL!
Put out the Pottery! Oh I love this stuff!
I wonder if I'll be watching videos like this about 2000s commercials in a few years and feel the same way? Nah.
@80sCommercialVault

"Put out the pottery"
I used to sing this until I made my sister cry
Also I forgot how sophisticated A&E used to be. I always thought it was the most boring channel as a kid haha.
6:10
oh god the memories and the feels of seeing this, especially since met life just got rid of snoopy.
That was a cool Psycho reference in the Tilex ad! Not to mention it was in a shower.
Put out the pottery love it
I remember that 10 Victor Square building, just behind Scotts Valley Market.

Even though I'm a proud Canadian, I am upset I missed some of these awesome ads.

never knew my favorite candy bar had commercials back then :DD
i was born September 1993. would of been awesome to see some other great ads but man i miss these. especially from CN, Nick and well WWF and more.
Note to all cable networks, please go back to what made you what you were, scrap all the reality TV garbage!
I agree, I just can't with reality tv anymore. Most of it isn't even "reality". I think the closest we had to reality tv in this time was talk shows. But being a kid, I didn't really watch things geared towards adults.
***** Ricki Lake, Montel Williams & Jenny Jones talk shows were reality tv!
kgrkid No argument from me, man. The point is that people LOVE reality tv so damn much that there are tons of them.

UA Cable? I hope they were better run than UA Theaters.

I feel ya.
Im Caj What you said about MTV is right on the money. I used to watch "True Life", but it's just boring to watch. 2. So that's what A&E was all about.
I've never heard anyone pronounce Stussy like that before.
+Jill Sandwich That's how you say it
From wiki: Stüssy /ˈstuːsi/
