That Avis commercial...Rent cars with us, and we'll send strange men sneaking into your room in the middle of the night to tell you about your car while you're groggy and sleep-deprived, and you'll likely forget what we told you the night before anyway! Great sales pitch.
Firestone Town And Country Snow Biters Tires- For a simple commercial, it sure has some impressive animation, especially with the tires appearing out of the man's bed. The animation reminds me of some animated specials such as "B.C. The First Thanksgiving".
“It’s a Sony.” One of my favourite ads, featuring my favourite James Bond, George Lazenby! Wonderful to see it again!
1977-1978 MAGIC!!
I love those so much especially the Christmas ones.. brings me back to such a wonderful time in my life.. I miss the innocent time being a kid then, my heart breaks for these kids now a days ! Miss you momma! Wish you were here !! 😢❤️🙏🏻
Yay! These are my favorite. I love the 80s but the 70s stuff highlights a time I was alive but don't remember well. Thanks for these!
10:50 - The Refrigerator Race...Next in Great Pointless Moments in Sports...
Firestone - "Pleasant Dreams" yeah thanks after seeing those scary tires!
There's Michael Vale in the Avis ad! So Avis was telling him it's time to check the rental car as he makes the donuts!
Plus the neat Coleco Combat Telstar as the Atari VCS was making it's holiday debut that year!
I also want to see the refridgerator race!
Ahhhh...the Pinto. America's most explosive car lol
Jim Shoulders looks like he could be related to Slim Pickens. "Can I have some more beans Mr. Taggart?" "I'd say you had enough!"
The actor in the Panasonic Quintrix II ad is Ron Masak, who just passed away not long ago.
Robert Pine of CHIPs in the Lowenbrau commercial!
@@bluetwinkiesaregood It sure is.
That blond haired man they showed in the World's Strongest Man refrigerator race was former Olympic weightlifter and pro wrestler Ken Patera. His older brother was the late former Seattle Seahawks head coach Jack Patera.
Great set!!
I want to buy 4 of those firestone snow-biters for $20 each!
$20 in 1977 = $89.37 when adjusted for inflation.
@@80sCommercialVault doesn't seem like as good of a deal LOL
Good to know that Jackie Stewart is still with us.
Michael Landon is a treasure.
I’m kinda confused when it comes to Michael Landon.
He left his first wife for his second wife, and left his second wife for his third wife.
He cheated on them all.
19:48 - Those poor Wisconsin fans dealt with all that snow and cold, and that's the score they got for it...
Peter Thomas narrating the Uniflow ad.
Is that Fred the Donuts guy in the Avis commercial??
i just remembered that i have a cousin named Avis.
They'd have been royally screwed if there was an early thaw while they were filming that Sears DieHard commercial...
"What the hell happened to the car?"
"I dunno, it was here in January...Oh shit, the lake thawed!"
"I sure as hell hope they bought the insurance package when they rented it."
Thanks to Ric Flair, I can't hear the "2001: A Space Odyssey" theme without thinking "WOOOOOOO!!!" Thanks Naitch...
It's a classical piece dating to 1896: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Also_sprach_Zarathustra
Besides being used in "2001: A Space Odyssey" it was famously used as intro music for Elvis Presley at his concerts for years: ua-cam.com/video/TM5lPTLwTpI/v-deo.html predating any use in professional wrestling.
@@80sCommercialVault I know that, but a large amount of your viewers have heard it mostly in relation to Ric Flair. Its original name was "Also Sprach Zarathustra."
I linked the wikipedia article for Also Sprach Zarathustra. I'm aware of its original title.
Most people associate it with 2001, where it is used as a central theme and often riffed on in pop culture.
The Return Of The Incredible Hulk-that promo made it look as if it were a horror movie
Freeman Free-Flex Shoe-spoiler: that was a hard-boiled egg
Radio Shack -"Breaker breaker,anyone got their ears on..? Im having car trouble.."
Three Days Of The Condor-"..and i'm NOT the killer!"
Lowenbrau-that must be their usual order
All In The Family-a very good episode,loved the ending
CBS Sports Spectacular-the refrigerator race..get a chiropractor on standby
Eveready Batteries-no one was brave enough to knock the battery off his shoulder..
NFL on CBS -that final score..ouch
Wow; looks like we're watching the 1977 edition of the "Snow Bowl"!
0:09 and 4:47--"Everything you've always wanted in a beer--and less." That was an iconic slogan back in the day. I remember it very well despite being 15 years too young to legally drink the stuff in 1977.
1:18, 11:07, and 17:33--Our family car back then was a Ford Fairmont, purchased new in the fall of 1977. I believe this was the first year for that model. Ours wasn't a Futura.
3:26--I had a couple friends my age (I was 6 years old when these spots aired) who liked The Incredible Hulk, but my parents wouldn't let me watch it because it was "too scary."
4:07 and 13:09--That technology looks so primitive by today's standards! Kind of sad to see Radio Shack going the way of the passenger pigeon. The Telstar Combat game is not unlike the Atari 2600 version of "Combat." Before getting our Atari 2600, we had one of those early Pong games--and I think ours was the Radio Shack brand.
5:47--When I purchased my first (used) car in 1990 (I couldn't--and still can't--afford a new one), my parents warned me to avoid the Pinto.
10:12--"All In The Family" was, and is, a great show! As of 2021 it is rerunning on Get TV, which is available over the air in many parts of the country.
I wonder if OJ was renting a bronco.......
7:43 - Is that Caroline Munro in the Noxzema shaving cream commercial? It looks like her.
yes. ua-cam.com/video/NXvfd1Wnk3s/v-deo.html
Yep
Futura. Typical name that came in boardroom meeting at Ford in 1076. “ we’re building low tech boring cars this decade, let’s give them something to make them think they have futuristic space age technology”
Um, the Futura name came from the Lincoln Futura concept car: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Futura
This was famously the basis for the 1960s Batmobile.
@@80sCommercialVault cool, Thanks 🙏🏾 !
“1076”?
They sure were thinking of the future.
What is the name of the background song at 10:35?
Bell system should have stayed Bell system.
Judge was an idiot in that case.
Now we have AT&T for home phone service and they are a monopoly.
Their customer service is horrible.
Bell system was great.
I had South Central Bell and I miss it.
The Bell System *was* a monopoly. That’s why it was broken up.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakup_of_the_Bell_System
And AT&T was the one who proposed the breakup as an alternative to giving up their subsidiary company Western Electric, who produced their telephone equipment.
Hey, now you can *own* your phone outright instead of Bell giving it to you for safekeeping! 😉
