-Who knew that Raisin Bran was a cereal of choice for Sailors? -"Eat Your Campbell's. It's good for you." Reminds me of the Wheaties cereal slogan.

I spent probably 25 years wondering what exactly the "10K" was in that Campbell's Soup commercial. Whoa...I never knew anyone that had that A-Team Racing set, I always wondered how that worked.
The Dalkon Shield PSA was definitely a harbinger of things to come with the currently omnipresent prescription drug settlement ads. Although it was really nice that the manufacturer was taking responsibility to rectify the matter; that rarely happens today.
Raisin Bran-maybe they shouldve taken the box with them Dalkon Shield-sounds like a plot device from a Buck Rogers or Star Trek episode("Theyve activated the Dalkon Shield!!!") Pontiac Firebird-guy at @2:55:"You were expecting maybe,David Hasselhoff?" ,McDonalds-tractor guy should see a chiropractor TVs Bloopers-Richard Simmons probably thinking"This i cant UN-see..!" Pillsbury-guess you have to let the popcorn thaw out before placing it in the microwave..? The A-Team-almost every action show back then had the obligatory"evil twins/impostors" episode Riptide-Plot twist-one of those two guys they jumped was really the child's daddy Remington Steele-he most likely had severe PTSD after that jail stay Supergirl-going to miss the CW show(ending after this upcoming season) A-Team Action Racing-that wouldve made a interesting episode,the team competing in a cross-country rally..with the Army getting in on it by adding some racers of their own Fatal Vision-"I didnt kill my wife and children,so im gonna have to go ahead and ask you to drop this investigation.And if you really do find out who did it,that would be great."
I guess that Campbell's soup gave ol girl enough energy to run that marathon and then run her butt over to the CoTylenol dude's house to get freaky deaky... Never underestimate the power of soup.
They sure did, just keep the contacts clean and you have to trigger it just right around corners and such, they are great. I never had an elaborate set like that, but I still have my old track and cars, and they still work.
I seem to remember hearing that Christopher Reeve was supposed to do a cameo as Superman in the Supergirl movie, but he turned them down. I think after the three movies by that point, he was getting tired of the franchise. I remember they had to offer him quite a lot in order to get him to agree to do Superman IV a few years after this.
@@AlphaTrion92 Yeah, you're right. I always thought that the first two Superman movies were the best. I necper saw the third and fourth films. Plus, if you've seen any episodes of the Supergirl TV show, you noticed that Helen Slater has a recurring role as tKara's adopted mother.
Man, I wish the U.S. Army still did commercials like the ones they had back in the 80’s Also, that Colt ad felt a little bit “Politically Incorrect”, but still kinda funny. And the Trans Am ad is the most 80’s Thing I’ve ever seen.

ngl, i clicked on this video to see that pontiac in the thumbnail and i was not disappointed
I always liked the look of that particular Firebird generation but it just looked excellent in that ad.

2:53 - I don't know why, but this completely random shot of the old guy making a "shocked" face makes me laugh. It just kind of comes out of nowhere.
After seeing this & hearing Metalica on a classic radio station.I feel damn old.
I always wanted one of those Tyco slot car sets.
Fatal vision scared the shit outta me as a kid
That first television teaser had me scared..

Oh ho, these commercials are darn great! Especially the Chicken Noodle soup one and McDonalds.
Wonderful start to my Holiday Break :). Thank you, 80sCommercialVault, and Happy Thanksgiving all!

Supergirl-going to miss the CW show(ending after this upcoming season)
A-Team Action Racing-that wouldve made a interesting episode,the team competing in a cross-country rally..with the Army getting in on it by adding some racers of their own
Fatal Vision-"I didnt kill my wife and children,so im gonna have to go ahead and ask you to drop this investigation.And if you really do find out who did it,that would be great."

it was only 10k not marathon :D not that powerfull
Who knew all that sodium was great for running?
I see these ads for the Tyco racing sets now and wonder if they worked just as well in these commercials - probably not!
They sure did, just keep the contacts clean and you have to trigger it just right around corners and such, they are great. I never had an elaborate set like that, but I still have my old track and cars, and they still work.

I think he did the Street Smart film(was something of a passion project for him) in exchange for starring in Superman IV

Frozen microwave popcorn? Wonder how that was
That woman in the Campbell’s commercial, is she the actor who played Vosh on Star Trek: The Next Generation?
John-Evan Bear Yes, I believe it is Jennifer Hetrick, who did play Vash on Star Trek: The Next Generation.
I miss 80s KFC. The current recipe I am not impressed by.
Same here. It's not the same as it was back then. Even the portions are smaller.
@@AlphaTrion92 It's not just that. The product itself has been going down hill for years.
It changed?
