One thing my dad will never let me forget...Having him take me to see Beetlejuice at the theater. He absolutely hated it, thought it was the dumbest thing he's ever seen. He still talks about it. I actually thought of buying him tickets to the Broadway Musical last year for his birthday as a joke. I still kind of wish I could have seen his face.
Loving the Halloween special!! Thank you for the additional videos. it puts a smile on my face during these hard times every time I watch these commercials
The guy with all the buttons in the first ad is Ramblin' Rod! Watched his TV program all the time as a kid growing up in the 80s. Had several classmates that managed to get seats in his audience, and my 2nd grade class sent him a big package of buttons to add to his collection.
@21:30 I recognized this music and it took me a moment where I know it from; Rhino DVDs used this music, I remember specifically from the old MST3K releases.
"Beetlejuice" had a VHS release in 1988. NOW (since September of 2020) there's a 4K blu-ray release. I saw "UFO Cover Up? Live" when it was live. Actually, I recorded it via VCR so I could zip through the commercials. That tape wouldn't have that today (maybe too worn out by now) after I've seen it a couple times.
The man wearing all those buttons in the Kids Readathon PSA reminds me of those old cars that are almost completely covered in bumper stickers. That's one dedicated parent if she got out of work early to give her child peanut butter in the Jif Commercial. I think I would be creeped out by Aunt Jemima's head coming out of the clouds as if it were the sun, even if it summoned pancakes to rain down on my plate and cleared the sky.
Holy cow that War of the Worlds promo was genuinely scary. I remember the US Video Game team put out videotapes that had tips on how to play NES games around this time! Finally the music at 21:30 was used on the logo for Rhino Home Video (I know this from their MST3K DVDs!)
That guy at the beginning is the all-time flair king at Chotchkie’s. I never had any idea that ShoeSource went by different names in different parts of the country. They were always Payless ShoeSource here in Colorado. Sadly, no matter the name, they’re all gone now.
UFO Cover Up Live-did Geraldo Rivera host this..? Quaker Extra-Godspeed,Wilford :( GI Joe's Winter Sports & Warehouse Sale-when your'e there,ask for the employee named "Snow-Job"..he'll give you a discount on heavy coats War Of The Worlds-loved the first season,hated the second where they killed off half the cast..(R.I.P Jared Martin)
I remember when i was a kid if other kids saw you wearing pro wings they would make fun of you,also i wonder who was the lucky woman who won the two mazdas in the Woman's Day Mazda way instant game?
Wow, no wonder Atari's two late 1980s consoles were neglected. Their ads are boring and the games they're promoting are old. Meanwhile Nintendo was bringing out the Super Mario and Legend of Zelda sequels while Sega was publishing Phantasy Star.

I saw the musical last summer. I thought it was pretty good.

0:30 - Something tells me after this was filmed, that kid tore off that Atari shirt, and spent hours in front of his Nintendo...
@@Yo_DynamoJoe And would anyone really take that boxing game over Mike Tyson's Punch-Out back then?
ahhhhhhh yes, the "Public Library" family of brands. big fan!

Thanks! I was wondering where I had heard that music before, and I remember them from the numerous MST3K DVDs I used to have.

RiP Cub Foods. My older sister and her then-boyfriend/later husband (now widowered) would have been working there in 1988.

It's funny how the Irish Spring is spraying out water at the actor.
That UFO looks like a chicken pot pie.

How appropriate, you fight like a cow
"UFO Cover Up? Live", hopefully the most embarrassing hour of Mike Farrell's life. Because if anything tops that....
