Wrapped up in a sleeping bag lying on the floor watching these, just like when I was a kid and mom let me stay up late. Now if I only had my Stretch Armstrong....
I used to HATE commercials back then, but I like them now because they were much more interesting. Now I only hate new, current commercials. Life was so much more simpler back then. The 80's sure were AWESOME! I wish I could go back in time & stay there! Thanks for the memories, Vinnie!
Roberto B. I wish we were still cheesy again and did horrible jingles. now we rely on creative dialogue/monologue like the mid 2000s orbitz commercials it the Allstate mayhem commercials.
Bflatest me too, when i was in 7th and 8th grade (1984-1986 i think I was the first female manager of a football team. I would of kept going until maybe, I was in the NFL? Manager or referee. Or other things I wished I had not been so afraid. 😥
Yes. Yes, indeed it is. There are a hundred networks now with all sorts of edgy comedies, thrilling dramas, movies made by the networks, etc. Unless of course you find 1:45 (
Breaking Bad? Son's of Anarchy? Game of Thrones? Rick and Morty? Love the old stuff and get nostalgic for childhood in the 80's, but 'TV' has never been better!
@A.D. Highly disagree. Show me anything from TV 20 years ago that even comes close to the depth of 'Better Call Saul' it's absolutely brilliant. I go back to stuff I liked in the 80's and 90's all the time and often, not always, it doesn't hold up, or age well AT ALL.
@A.D. who said anything about being complex? I said 'depth' which is a sign of quality. The fact that you just said 'rot your mind' is a red flag that you're a bit of a curmudgeon and are not willing to like something new. I understand your nature now. We can agree to disagree.
I think commercials from the 80's were a lot better than they are now. I remember a lot of these. Amazing the staying power they have. I wish they were like this again.
i was born in the early 70,s and was a teenager when these commercials were brand new in the late 80,s, and whats funny is even though i havent seen some of these commercials in 25-30 years, as soon as they come on i start singing along instantly, CARNATION INSTANT BREAKFAST....YOUR GONNA LOVE IT IN AN INSTANT!!!! lol, i guess the AD agencies earned theyre dough if 30 years later i can still remember it!! to funny!! Wow thanx for jolting the old memory bank!!! lol!!!
Cheryl Coomes It was a to-the-point era. No cellphones, more human interaction. People take family road trips, go out to places without hypnotized into a phone, and the hatefulness wasn’t nearly as strong as it is now. People are confused as hell nowadays and need to join some kind of faction to fell complete.
"Momma's got the Magic of Clorox 2!" Thanks again for these Vinnie, blast from the past! "So kiss a little longer, laugh a little longer, stay close a little longer..." :)
I remember almost all of these commercials. it's like a time machine. most commercial compilations on youtube only have a couple of commercials that I remember. but this was literally 98% that I remember. thanks so much for posting!
"Words are as hard as a fist " This PSA was as powerful as the 1970s PSA about the environment featuring a Native American with a tear rolling down his face
Definitely. I was born in 74. In the 80s we thirsted for the 50s. The people in media, back then, graduated in mid 50s so the tv and movies were 50s centric. Porky's, Peggy Sue Got Married, etc. Now it's much the same. In the 80s, in Jr. High, we had 50s day.
I was born in 1986 but I seriously remember or find very familiar and nostalgic over more than half of these commercials. Takes me back that is for sure...
The john Denver post raisin bran commercial hit hard for me & to this day I continue to eat post raisin bran thanks for the memories & we miss you john 🕯🕯
I used to think those Magic Mushrooms actually shot out those little flower effects when you opened them. LOL. I was just a kid! I was disappointed when we finally got one and it just smelled good. Well, at least it smelled good!! I'm with some of the other posters, looking back at 80s CMs, it was really a "feel good" decade. Not as cynical or sarcastic as nowadays(which was a trend brought about by the mid-90s, I believe). And it's not to say there weren't bad things happening at that time, there were, but it didn't rob us of our tenderness.
Didn't spark fear with me - it drew more anger if anything. Those of us that lived in that world hated this. As a kid the last thing you wanted to see on TV was this commercial to remind you of BS you had to go through until you got old enough to get the hell out.
I recognize most of these commercials. I came to the U.S. in 1984 and happened to be paying attention to them to learn some English. I was 12 years old at the time. It's unbelievable how the brain can pick up where it left off on an old commercial as if it was a few days I watched them.
Wow! The ads are worth watching again and again.I wasn't even born that time so it felt great to find out now how was the trend in fashion,food etc back then 😍💗
Today's commercials are improving somewhat compared from a few yrs ago. But I guess they will not have that same magical feeling when you were a kid. Thanks for uploading. I felt so young watching them. :)
Big kudos for taking the time to include a list of each ad's name with its time-stamp in the description box. I enjoy these ads, it's big nostalgia for a Gen X 80's guy who was around back then. I'm hunting for the commercial where a family is driving through rough woods, but the interior of the car is totally still, and the boy says "Here's your scalding hot cup of tea, Grandma" in the very smooth riding vehicle. I remember laughing so much when I first saw it but I have no idea what year it was. Thanks!
10:17....the "ghettoblaster"....LMFAO...i can remember packing these monstrosities with about 10 lbs or 20$ worth of batteries and being able to listen to music for about an hour before the batteries went dead...aaaahh,the 80's..damn i miss you
I had a boom box so big in 1987 that it took 10 d batteries and if I didn't use alkaline batteries I could only turn up the radio about half-way up before it would sound distorted. ( Which was still plenty loud!)
Time you download quantum leap, macgyver, a team, cheers, wings, growing pains, night court, silver spoons, knight rider, Mr belvedere, and all the Halloween and Christmas specials... 😜🍺
Never thought I'd be watching 20 minutes worth of commercials on my phone. But yet every last one of these commercials would be turned 2 another Channel back in the days.
There's just something so...therapeutic about the warm wholesomeness of the narration and acting in these. That's so weird to admit, since they're really just emptyheaded ads, but they genuinely relax me.
1:45 I tell younger people all the time that there were ads/PSAs on TV teaching parents how not to be shitty! LOL! It's hilarious to think of now. I saw things changing with Babies R Us and a trend of parents (my generation) doing things differently than the previous generation with painting up the new baby's room while in utero, etc. Finally a generation that WANTED their non-accidental kids. Anyone remember the PSA on TV "It's 10 o'clock. Do you know where your kids are?" I always found that one particularly amusing. (I'm born in 1970, in case anyone wants to know to understand my comment better)
I love these old ads.They started getting lousy by 1990.It's rare to see an ad of food or a household cleanser.It's funny seeing those ads of old shows now.
6:43 the voice of the great Lester Rawlins, one of the all-time best commercial voice-over artists. He was probably best known, at least on the East Coast, for his Dunkin' Donuts voice-overs.
Where is the iconic drinking and driving add where they lay a washed beer glass and keep lining them up to show your vision impairment.. Must have played that sucker 15 times a day for sure
Wrapped up in a sleeping bag lying on the floor watching these, just like when I was a kid and mom let me stay up late. Now if I only had my Stretch Armstrong....
Ikr
I actually get tears in my eyes when I watch this,. i think about being at home from school and when I was a kid.
I honestly was just about to write the exact same thing, but thought, "No...nobody would relate". Here I sit misty-eyed.....
Yep
Sad!
😭
Yup, Very Nostalgic, 80’z Kid 4-ever!!!! 📺👌🏽👦🏽👍🏽
I used to HATE commercials back then, but I like them now because they were much more interesting. Now I only hate new, current commercials. Life was so much more simpler back then. The 80's sure were AWESOME! I wish I could go back in time & stay there! Thanks for the memories, Vinnie!
Roberto B. agreed
Roberto B. I wish we were still cheesy again and did horrible jingles. now we rely on creative dialogue/monologue like the mid 2000s orbitz commercials it the Allstate mayhem commercials.
totally agree with you this was my childhood!
+SilasBudman420 how are 80s commercials cheesy
+SilasBudman420 how are 80s commercials horrible?
I miss the 80s. Man if I could only go back and know to be more deliberate in the dreams I had.
Same
Keep walking your line, as long as you have the time to spend.
Yeah I really miss the 70 and 80 for sure
Bflatest me too, when i was in 7th and 8th grade (1984-1986 i think I was the first female manager of a football team. I would of kept going until maybe, I was in the NFL? Manager or referee. Or other things I wished I had not been so afraid. 😥
They weren't that good
I remember all of those commercials like it was yesterday...
Life was so much funner and simpler back in those days! I miss those days so much!
I bloody agree with you there
Me too!
Is it sad that these commercials are more interesting, funny, and compelling than most current television programs?
Yes. Yes, indeed it is. There are a hundred networks now with all sorts of edgy comedies, thrilling dramas, movies made by the networks, etc.
Unless of course you find 1:45 (
Anything done nowadays is straight shit.

no commercials are good you brainwashed moron!
What are you talking about? Commercials have always sucked. They sucked then and they suck now. 😂
From a child of the 80s.
I feel better everytime I go back in time on these commercials. 80's, 70's, 60's and 50's. Life was just so much more simpler.
Amen to that!!!
@@michaezell4607 Then you know how I feel. Seems life get's more complicated with each year.
Love these commercials. They take me back. Brings tears to my eyes a little.
I miss the 80’s. I was in HS from 85-89. I want to go back. Things were so much more normal back then, I don’t even have to explain the difference.
Yep, 80s were a great time to be a young person!
Yea society’s “norm” as definitely changed … for the WORST!
Wow. I never thought that I would willingly watch commercials but these are pure nostalgia. Thanks.
i was born in the early 70,s and was a teenager when these commercials were brand new in the late 80,s, and whats funny is even though i havent seen some of these commercials in 25-30 years, as soon as they come on i start singing along instantly, CARNATION INSTANT BREAKFAST....YOUR GONNA LOVE IT IN AN INSTANT!!!! lol, i guess the AD agencies earned theyre dough if 30 years later i can still remember it!! to funny!! Wow thanx for jolting the old memory bank!!! lol!!!
ozzyhead73 A lot of white male born between 1953 and 1975 had smelly feet back then because they wore deck/boat shoes without socks.
Yes indeed
Am 14 I wasn't born in the 80s but I kinda wish I was born in the 80s because the commercials aren't boring.

boy how we didn't appreciate the times till now....you never know what you had till it's gone....
Wow some of these commercials you would NEVER see today. Wow have times changed. Miss those days :(.
"Take time out. Don't take it out on your kids." I say we bring this commercial back.
"She has enough plastic in her for a Tupperware party!" Hahahaha. Remember Tupperware parties? LOL
My mother use to sell Tupperware
Man this takes me back. I miss the 80's.
Born in 1980... These bring me back!
"Momma's got the Magic of Clorox 2!"
Thanks again for these Vinnie, blast from the past!
"So kiss a little longer, laugh a little longer, stay close a little longer..." :)
Those were the two jingles that brought back the most memories for me too! lol miss those days!
+Crazy Kids for some reason the clorox commercial took me back to summertime when i was a kid
Those are the ones that stuck out for me as well.
I was still able to sing the whole jingle for big red😂 I miss the good old, safer days of the '80s💔
And today that would be classified as sexist...why should only mama do laundry. And this is why I hate 2020
I remember almost all of these commercials. it's like a time machine. most commercial compilations on youtube only have a couple of commercials that I remember. but this was literally 98% that I remember. thanks so much for posting!

"Words are as hard as a fist "

oh the good o'l yrs damn I wished those days were still here
I feel the same way. Miss those days.
why was i getting teary eyed watching these ...smh
Because of Bill Clinton and his flawed politics.
Now now ....let's play nice. Damien Hartley ***** talksolot. :-) I miss the simple things, the simple times.
+Alicia Turner
Because this country and life in general was much better before the liberals destroyed it.
:-) you sound like my husband Worldraven .Nevar
+Alicia Turner Because today's commercials suck.
The 80s are the 50s of the current era. I miss the 80s. These commercials are clues to as why the show Stranger Things is so very popular.
I say alittle of both 50s & 60s...the 90s and 00s were more like 70s and 80s.
Definitely. I was born in 74. In the 80s we thirsted for the 50s. The people in media, back then, graduated in mid 50s so the tv and movies were 50s centric. Porky's, Peggy Sue Got Married, etc. Now it's much the same. In the 80s, in Jr. High, we had 50s day.
OMG 1:41 "Children believe what their parents tell them." I could die right now.
I was born in 1986 but I seriously remember or find very familiar and nostalgic over more than half of these commercials. Takes me back that is for sure...
Good ole days
I wish I was born in the 80’s and 90’s. :( so freakin cool!
OMG the Big Red commercial
I wasnt even born in the 80's (2002) and I feel really at home watching these and idk why :D I wish times were still like these ;-;
Welcome to the sterile 'woke' world. In the 80's and early 90's we all got along and nobody's 'feels got hurt'.
Ooooooohh GURL that Clorox commercial tho! !! That jingle will always stay in my head!
That and 'before you dress, caress."
and the big red commercial!
Ahh the 80’s!!! Life was so easy remember the after school specials they would have on tv??
I miss my mom and grandma so much when watching these commercials from the 80's and the ones from the 90's
Please keep posting! I love these commercials and that you put 20+ minutes on them as I have a playlist and can only put 200 on a playlist
Do time machines exist? "Reading is a TRIP!" Remember?
The fall of 1985 awaits you!
whoah, I really want a Choco Bliss!!! Looks freaking GOOD!!!
SergeTheBlerge they still sell them
I get a kick out of watching these old commercials! They make the products look so appealing too!
I was a kid when these commercials used to play on tv. Great times!
Wow...WTBS in the late 80s. Great memories of the Atlanta Braves from then.
I'm crying. I want some of that Choco Bliss.
Kleenex? Sorry bro... Be happy!
Dam choco bliss was my shit
They still sell those
its amazing how I remember many of these jingles. I haven't heard that big read in yrs
85-89, my high school years🙂
Grape nuts sand in a box
Wow John Denver. My mom, me and my brother would always sing his songs in the car! Such great times! Rip
I love this! It takes me back. I'm saving this to my favourites!
The john Denver post raisin bran commercial hit hard for me & to this day I continue to eat post raisin bran thanks for the memories & we miss you john 🕯🕯
The 70s- early 2000s were the best years. Hands down.
I used to think those Magic Mushrooms actually shot out those little flower effects when you opened them. LOL. I was just a kid! I was disappointed when we finally got one and it just smelled good. Well, at least it smelled good!!

well said..:)
+Lizzie Allen so true..
Remind me of laying on the floor at my grandma's watching daytime tv. The good old days.
1:46 - Important PSA, but man I remember this commercial freaking me out as a kid.
Wish my parents would take this to heart today. Great parents when we were kids....awful to us as adults
Me too...it seemed like that was the commercial that I remember as a kid on how I felt sorry for some kids that experienced abuse
Didn't spark fear with me - it drew more anger if anything. Those of us that lived in that world hated this. As a kid the last thing you wanted to see on TV was this commercial to remind you of BS you had to go through until you got old enough to get the hell out.
20 minutes of commercials, about the standard length of an ad break today on US TV haha!
Wow what a blast from the past
The Duracell and Clorox 2 and yes i remember those commercial, and big red yes so much clean good fun thanks.
I always go outside to my field every morning to eat Grape Nuts cereal in front of rabbits (after picking fresh berries right from the bush).
I recognize most of these commercials. I came to the U.S. in 1984 and happened to be paying attention to them to learn some English. I was 12 years old at the time. It's unbelievable how the brain can pick up where it left off on an old commercial as if it was a few days I watched them.
I want Choco-bliss. I forgot all about these.
Great collection of memories here! I had forgotten about Magic Mushrooms. I remember the Liquid Plumber commercial well.
I still remember most of these as if it was just 2 years and 9 months ago
Vinnie Rattolle Love how you broke down the commercials by time and made it clickable. Excellent vid, man. So vintage.
Haven't seen any cola or burger ads
In addition to stains in my clothes, Tide also encourages the histamines in my skin to come out.
Wow! The ads are worth watching again and again.I wasn't even born that time so it felt great to find out now how was the trend in fashion,food etc back then 😍💗
Portrait of America is one that I don't remember but I'm interested. This is wonderful. 💖
The Skipper says "You can win one of these great little tvs!" as he holds up a huge rectangular block, with a tiny screen.
Color TVs. Those were a much more expensive in that size.
Those were good times ...Just imagine we went from a big 'ol clunky-ass box with a screen, to small triangles with a "screen" that make calls.
Today's commercials are improving somewhat compared from a few yrs ago. But I guess they will not have that same magical feeling when you were a kid. Thanks for uploading. I felt so young watching them. :)

Born 1991 and watching commercials from the 80s xD
Choco Bliss, I'm sorry I haven't called or reached out in all these years... but I still love you!
These commercials calm my nerves. I think back to my life during these commercials - a kid with no worries other than school and chores.
Love these.. they bring back so many memories
I'm suddenly craving raisin bran... crazy how I remember so many of these commercials. Well the ones that aired in Canada.
10:17....the "ghettoblaster"....LMFAO...i can remember packing these monstrosities with about 10 lbs or 20$ worth of batteries and being able to listen to music for about an hour before the batteries went dead...aaaahh,the 80's..damn i miss you
I had a boom box so big in 1987 that it took 10 d batteries and if I didn't use alkaline batteries I could only turn up the radio about half-way up before it would sound distorted. ( Which was still plenty loud!)
@@dougpeters4293 I used to love to watch the colored lights dance to the music!😁
I'm 38 and I remember those commercials like it was yesterday.
Watching these, it's almost like no time has passed.
Oh but sadly it has.☹️
the jean jacket with the buttons all over it. just looked in closet and i still have mine GOD I FEEL OLD LOL
It's interesting that we feel more nostalgic watching commercials from the era than we do watching the shows.
Time you download quantum leap, macgyver, a team, cheers, wings, growing pains, night court, silver spoons, knight rider, Mr belvedere, and all the Halloween and Christmas specials...
😜🍺
Never thought I'd be watching 20 minutes worth of commercials on my phone. But yet every last one of these commercials would be turned 2 another Channel back in the days.
Ah that Big Red song, never gets old.
Omg, forgot all about Magic Mushroom air fresheners.
I can still smell those awful things...
Magic Mushrooms make everything fresh.
It's amazing how almost all these products are now gone from shelves.
I wish they still had those magic mushroom air fresheners.
I remember almost every one of those commercials.
There's just something so...therapeutic about the warm wholesomeness of the narration and acting in these. That's so weird to admit, since they're really just emptyheaded ads, but they genuinely relax me.

In Toronto Canada on a local TV stn they used to play the "do you know where your kids are" bit at the top of the hour...
Never thought when I was a kid that this shit would be entertaining. LOL Oh and I want some Choco Bliss damn it! I miss that chocolate pastry.
Geez, I remember so many of these commercials.
Life seems so much simpler here. Sigh. I remember that “Big Read” gum commercial song!!!!
that Stove Top commercial threw me off SO HARD I had to go listen to Comedy Tonight like 5 times.
In old countree...we no has cheezburgers.
Commercials were calm & relaxing , it speaks to the times.alot more problems today .
I love these old ads.They started getting lousy by 1990.It's rare to see an ad of food or a household cleanser.It's funny seeing those ads of old shows now.
1:48 Ahh such fond memories of childhood.
WOW! I remember a lot of these!!!
It’s weird, I remember these commercials like they were on yesterday.
yes 80s was the best on everything...movies...music...and 24/7 partying....
Omg the clorox 2 commercial! I must've soaked it up as a kid - I could sing it beginning to end, but didn't remember the visual all!
Thanks for uploading. Memories!

Where is the iconic drinking and driving add where they lay a washed beer glass and keep lining them up to show your vision impairment.. Must have played that sucker 15 times a day for sure
Amazing this was 30 years ago....
