If someone told me in 1991 that we'd all be voluntarily watching commercials from 1991 on a giant network of information and media, I wouldn't have believed it.
Al Gore knew it was coming.
@@toastedjoe1013 He invented it after all.
In 1991, if you told me who was in the White House, I’d never believe it.
I like making that comment too because that’s how I feel. But there were some even back then who liked the commercials more than the shows
Hahahaha
1991: If only there was a way I could skip commercials.
2020: Let's watch some commercials.
Yeah that's pretty much it. Espcially for the retro commercials (that actually survived).
Truth
So true
Cause we wanna go back, Paul. We wanna go back. Nostalgic for simpler times.
@Finna Sprang Great critical thinking. Thanks, I was getting all soft and nostalgic.....but wouldent it be fun to live back then knowing what we know now?!
It feels awesome to lose yourself back in a world that felt safe and made sense.
Facts
Yup.
ahhhhh dude, get out of my head. How old were you in 91?
It was never safe and things never made sense. Its only nostalgia. People are still just as shitty as back then only now with smart phones.
@@kr4t0sg.28 Half true.
While it is correct that danger and evil have always existed: historically, extremes come in cycles of time. Technology has sped up these cycles.
Right now, we are in the phase Rome was, just before their fall. Confusion abounds, morals have been inverted to suit the weak, and society watered down by abstract philosophical platitudes forsakes loyalty to their own, in favor of irresponsible self destructive eutopianism, which is exploited by base degenerates who consume all available resources until the nation falls into poverty and is overtaken by foreigners. People don't even understand right from wrong, anymore.
In the ,90's: Very Few would've been Stupid enough to support a child molester and oppose the Officer who shot him as he resisted arrest, and treat an Officer doing his duty, as if it were some species of systemic oppression. Now such irrational behavior is rampant.
So you are incorrect.
The world made much more sense, at the time; but the pendulum will swing back in the opposite direction, as it always does.
Better times , stronger traditions , morals and simplicity ... I miss those days
This makes me homesick for the 90’s
I like how 90's commercials have soothing slow narration. It's a very calm vibe. Just the fact that they have narration, we rarely have that these days. Now commercials are all about being awkward or funny, but they try too hard a lot of the time. Nothing like just watching the product with a soothing voice slowly telling you its a good product.
In 1991 I broke every dollar I had into quarters and slid them into a Street Fighter 2 machines.
And every time I look at an older quarter I think about the possible battles won and lost on it. Good times bro!
Cheers to that.
in 1991 i was being pushed out my mom puss
Aaaahhhh those were the days.....
Same here
I just turned 40, i feel old watching these old retro commercials! The 90s were the last old school generation before social media and the download digital age and HD.
Me too
Haha I just turned 44 and these were the times of my life!! Don’t get me wrong I love most everything after the 90’s I’m not stuck there but this was my prime! 😁I was 14-15 and remember almost all of these commercials like it was yesterday!!! And yeah we’re getting old but just think 40’s used to be like ur 70’s 😆😂
@@streetteamdjony2000 Agreed! We're aging! Those were the best times! People really got together and had real conversations, nobody was glued to their cellphones, especially smartphones.
I just turned 42 !! I have mixed emotions right meow... ahhh, good times
@@ep8470 i hear u, we're not getting any younger, welcome to the 40s club! lol
The best part of these commercials is knowing there's no influencer in sight
I miss Sit Down Pizza Huts, playing table top Ms. Pac-man waiting for the pie. And the red plastic glasses!
coke never tasted better than in those glasses!
Or when the pizza came hot and the cheese came out stringy in those pans!
Better pizza too. And Alf hand puppets. Ha
Now its sit down Dominos. Haha!! Man what memories.
@@extremedrivr Right! All two tables!
There's still a lot of 80's vibe in these early 90's commercials.
Oh yeah, couldn't agree more
Every decade always carries over a bit
@@irahenderson7840 I'm pretty sure they will say the 2010's ended with the corona pandemic
@@brestingheedness they may say it but that doesn't make it so
did you really expect drastic changes from the 80's in 1991? you think when the decade changes from 9 to 0 all fads and adverts suddenly change?
A Personal Pizza for $1.29...Bill & Ted, take me with you!
I remember when they went to 1.99
Free if they take longer than 5 minutes
but 23 dollars for a crappy direct to video movie. that's like 50 inflation adjusted.
And I was making a whopping $6.00 an hour working full time. I remember thinking if I made 100 bucks a day I would have the world by the ass.
True 3.35 an hour min wage. So a buck was worth a lot more back then.
what's great about alot of these commercials is that the awesome rock and synthesizer sounds, hair-style, fashion and graphics of the 80s carried on into the early 90s. Then ... all of that changed towards the end of 1993.
Oh.
In 1991, I was 9 and playing outside with my friends till it got dark at night. Played Nintendo and sega genesis. Went to the local pool every summer and played soccer. Didn't have a care in the world, the way it should be. I feel bad for kids today, they do most things online with very little social interactions.
Watching this makes me realize that there is a whole generation of humans who've never seen a VHS tape before or a VCR
1991: Damn commercials taking away from the show!
2022: We didn't realize we were making memories, we were just living in the moment.
Graduated high school and got my first job in 91. Great year.
I love that commercials from childhood are of higher quality and more interesting than the "best" of actual TV shows today.
I miss the 90's.
Trying to explain the Magic to my kids is like trying to describe a beautiful sunset to someone who was born blind.
@Finna Sprang I appreciate your respect. I wish I could begin to relate it to you. You are welcome to read my modest attempt to begin: It's far older than I am. Far older than the 90's, or the previous century; but much more prevalent until around 2008.
A childhood where toddlers have tablets, and devices are ever present seems to have closed that door for my son and many others. It's a place between asleep and awake. It's more real than your finest cgi. It's there when the device is not. It's what my son (and Joe Rogan, cool as he is) don't experience when they don't understand why the book really was better. It's a literal trip to another world, at twilight, where a rock or a piece of wood has a soul; but a fully charged device is, at the moment, just dead weight.
It requires concepts which have become foreign to all but very few: South park makes fun of it, Walt Disney's bastard heirs talk of it, many have never known it; but it lives. It's potentially more alive than you and me. Watching from across the veil. Waiting for someone to Believe and to Imagine. It's the answer everyone secretly wants, but somewhat fears, as knowing it would expose us to something beyond our comfort zone. The answer to a question Spiritualists and Scientists ask in unison: "What if?"...
...
...
It’s because only by experience one can truly understand.
The Blind Truth...
@@MzClementine ☺️
As someone who wasn’t even born then, isn’t what you’re experiencing just nostalgia? I mean, I might look back at this current era with nostalgia when I’m in my 40’s and it’s like 2045, even tho it’s absolutely awful right now lol
The 80s and (most of) the 90s were the best time to be a kid growing up. I think being born in 81, I got the best of both decades.
Me: pays to go ad free on UA-cam
Also me: watches videos of old ads. 🤣
There's even an commercial for a SNL show filled with commercials! It's commercial Inception.
Guilty. LOL
@@edrice2621 At least back then SNL was not woke unfunny trash!!!
ha!!
Lol, guilty as charged. ✋
Nearly 30 years later and I can still remember quite a few of these jingles!!
Please....I've had enough of 2020! Send me back to the 90s!
No sir , you have to tuff this out with the rest of us😂
same. 90s, 80s, 70s, 60s.
I wish 😭
If you go back you will just have to relive this nightmare all over again.
@@02DDP lol
I remember at 11 years old seeing these while I impatiently waited for my show to come back on. Now at 40 years old I'm sitting here at 7 in the morning patiently watching it as if I've got nothing better to do.
Back when ppl watched SNL and talked about the skits the next day. Our pizza huts are barely hanging on. Another gem, Dave, thanks!
I don't think I missed a single SNL between 1989 and 1994. Now I don't think I've watched more than a single skit in 20+ years.
Definitely like talking about Ceslie Strong .
@TrashPanda Raccoon They sucked for a long time but they are bringing back the classic pan and it's actually really good!
Actually they started to become semi watchable again. I watched when they had the original cast AND the muppets.
If Pizza hut would go back to the way the were they'd have more business
I was born in Jan of 1991. Loved being a kid in the 90s and I love that this came up in my recommendations🥰
you missed out a bit, but you caught the tale end.
Was born in September of 1991
Yes.
Adrien Brody in the audience of MC Hammer at 1:22
Matthew Shulman Good Eye!!! Adrien looked the same then as does now in 2020.
Had the huge beak back then also🤪
Oh my Lord thank you for that
I SAW THAT LOL
Omg! Why does he look the same today?
This is crazy to watch. I was born in 1991 interesting to see how things were thanks for sharing
I was 10 in 1991. This wasn't the best year for our family, but we always watched TV together and I remember pretty much every single one of these. Thank you, and everyone else that posts retro commercials!
Thanks for sharing!
@@DavesArchives you too.
‘MC Hammer, rap star and Pepsi drinker’ lolol
I was a big fan of Garfield and Friends back in the day, and remember seeing that commercial and saying "that's not Garfield!"
Yeah I used to watch that show after school.
Garfield and then Heathcliff.
True.
Man these commercials are like so 40s! I wish I could go back things were so cooler!
All the 80's and early 90's were the best ever.
Pepsi: How many backup dancers do you need, Mr Hammer?
MC: All of them...
Back in 1991 I used to get those $1.29 personal pan pizza's from Pizza Hut for free with those "Book It" coupons. I would just pretend that I read a book so the teacher would give me a "Book It" coupon and I could get a free pizza. The teacher had a sheaf of probably 200 or more of those "Book It" coupons and I was tempted to steal them but my conscience wouldn't allow me to be that devious. As a kid, I always felt like a bigshot walking into Pizza Hut and declaring that I had a free pizza coming to me!
Wasn’t that the best pizza, I remember taking extra time going through those micro machine sized slices on the personal book it pizzas,
@@kt81776 A personal pan pizza today would probably cost like $8.00 instead of $1.29 and it probably wouldn't even be as good quality as they were back then. Glad I grew up during the 80's & 90's.
I used to love book it. I actually read the books and it made the pizza taste better.
Five books = One Free Pizza! Man, I miss the Book-It Program. At 40, I’d participate in it today for a free personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut, lol!
@Baby Sauce I'm ashamed of myself for committing felonies against both Pizza Hut & the Book It program. But I'm not too worried about being a Personal Pan Pizza thief since after all, it was 30 years ago! I'm sure the statute of limitations has long expired since then. But I did steal a handful of complimentary peppermints every time I committed a fraudulent act against Pizza Hut. I guess I'm a pretty evil fellow?
Born in 1998, it feels strange and exciting to think about the 90s, if just the time could come back. Not a fan of the world we live in right now, that old world was better.
The year 1991 introduced us to a lot of great media; Sonic the Hedgehog, Disney's Beauty and the Beast, and Jim Henson's Dinosaurs.
1991 and 1992 were the big years of the 90s.
I remember a kid I knew had a game gear. I was jealous af!
Not the mama!!!
@@Nmdixon-cu7vm Gotta love me!
@@resistor27 I'm the baby!
2:02 Her son Jeff is legitimately in his upper 20s, but we're supposed to imagine he's a teenager, which is the most early 1990s thing ever.
Oh damn i remember these small packs of Kellogs cereals. THESE little boxes where my FIRST ever contact with cereals after the wall came down and we east germans could get in touch with west products. I still remember when my mom brought me a pack of several of these small try-size packages wrapped in cellophane and i think i ate most of them dry, out of the box and loved it :D
Wooooo kraftwerk
@@Kaerikillington Kraftwerk are from the west, I believe.
I think that kid was "Uh-huh" from The Little Rascals, too!
@@Lengsel7 They are. But i'm still a fan though.
Awww thanks so much for sharing that. What a sweet moment!
The 80s was still alive even in 1991!
I was thinking the same thing. It wasn’t until ‘92 when the Grunge scene became mainstream and totally replaced 80s hair metal and fashion
@@bobloblaw8660 1993 began the real transition.
@@bobloblaw8660 exactly what I've always said. THe 90's started when smells like teen spirit blew up on the radio. It was a massive cultural shift.
Wow.
The 80s ended in 1993
My heart never left this year.
forgot, people had to pay extra for long distance calling lol
1-800-C-A-L-L-A-T-T
Remember that.
Jeff's mother loves him enough to provide him with a nuked bowl of canned soup.
Not to mention he looks like hes at least in his mid 20s, not the teen they make him out to be.
@@stevenvictx too much soup maybe prematurely aged him? At least he didn't grow breasts from the BPA
Yeah, well Jeff looks like he's about 30. So maybe she's just trying to get him out of the house.
Also, why does Jeff look 40?
No way...Jeff needs to nuke his own damn soup!
1991..... I was 17 ......
The Heavy Metal era was starting to slow down after dominating the airwaves for almost all of the 80’s.....
I grew up in the 80’s but saw things in our culture change and shift in the 90’s....
The 90’s was a transition decade for America.....
The early 90’s were a lot like the 80’s
The Mid 90’s our music, politics and culture shifted and changed....and by 1999 America saw the internet beginning to change our lives....
Big government was growing and we had already experienced terrible events such as Oklahoma City Bombing (1995),
First World Trade Center bombing (1993)
Columbine massacre (1999) Branch Davidson massacre (1992)
The world would never be the same ....
It was the late 80’s when driving in my neighbors Monte Carlo listening to Guns and Roses “Patience “ or Poison “ Every Rose has its Thorn “
Watching NFL football 🏈 when the Redskins were the Redskins and NONE of my friends were dairy free, wheat free, peanut free or vegan !
Burger King was King 👑 and you hung out in the parking lot with your boys.
And all your friends had either a Firebird, trans am or a Chevy truck .
It was a simpler time when your friends had your back .
I’m afraid we will never see these days again .
God help us ......
Wow. My first car was a 77MC. I had aTA and a 64 Chevy truck in 91.
And you just said what every generation that came before you have said, and what every generation that will come after us will say about the "good old days."
@@E-N-A-R-D-L-A-V I don’t think the generations coming after us will have much to say about good old days ......
I’d say my generation shakes it’s head at nostalgia for youth, high school and nonsense. I personally think life is easier the older you get (maybe the brain desensitizing) born in 1990.
My first job was @ Burger King 1980 😊
😂😂 I was 5 in 91 and still remember a lot of these
Ahh memories
Same... it’s eerie, what the brain hangs onto without you realizing it.
Yeah! i was 4 and remember some of these. Amazing we can all connect like this and geek out together, without even knowing each other!!
did you ever imagine the future would be anything like this?!
I was 6. Lol. I miss those days.
Me too ;)
I was a junior in high school in 1991.
I missed the 90’s
Oh jeez, I remember the snack pack commercial. I'm not crying, I swear.
39 years old here. Watching this has triggered some sort of inner time warp of feelings from my childhood. I can quite explain it but these commercials made me actually FEEL a certain way. The synapses in my brain that were triggered and brainwashed long ago by these images and sounds are coming back online while watching. Someone else commented about how back then, if you would have told us all we would be voluntarily watching these commercials in the future through a late screen TV connected to the UA-cam super computer data web, we would think you were crazy!
Miss playing arcade in the mall while mom shopped. Good ol days indeed.
The Pizza Hut personal pizzas were incredibly tasty at that time.
You know, whenever I see one of those anti drinking/drug PSAs that features a celebrity these days, I wonder if they are doing it for community service now.
95% of "celebrities" these days are a pure joke no one should listen too with all the BS that flows out of their mouths!!!
Probably are.
God we are so cynical now. I used to think "wow this guy cares." The truth is they were probably just beholden by contract with NBC to do them.
@@daviswendye I would not say we are so cynical now, just more aware of how things really are thanks to the internet, and Pedowood being exposed like a porn star in a glass box stained with all sorts of nasty fluids for what they truly are, and that's filthy vial trash!!!
@@CommodoreFan64 Great comment
I love watching these commercials 😄
80s & early 90s Rap was sooooo much better than today's mumble pseudo-gangsta rap.
Bro you are sooooo right.
NO ITS NOT EGGHEAD
SAID THE PERSON THAT CAN’T RAP LOL
@@OneLove-vn2yo Well i also cannot sing and yet i like classic Pop more than modern pop. So what's your point? It's all cool. If you like modern mumble rap, hey that's all fine. I'm happy if it's your kind of thing, man :) It's just not MY kind of thing.
It sounds like auto tunes garbage to me. Funny you should mention this, because a UA-camr around our age who's handle name is Thoughty2 actually did a video empirically showing that music HAS IN FACT GOTTEN WORSE since the 1970s, and the reason? As studios made more money, they spent more money to build and maintain a captive audience, and in so doing they were less and less likely to take creative risks.
The hiphop dancing Campbell soup kids broke me.
When it was still socially acceptable to eat bacon and saying no to drugs didn't mark you as a relic of the past.
Agree 100 percent with you! Now a person can barely let on they eat or like meat!
Its ok, I love bacon & I've never done drugs. We're still out here, it's ok to have individual choices.
It also made you a total square
Don't.
To all those who lived through the 90s: remember all those PSA commercials about telling kids to stick to books for information and knowledge and not to rely on computers?
I’m 42 now and these commercials bring me back. They almost feel like yesterday! But I don’t remember Alpo for cats and I’m such a huge Garfield fan. I named my first cat Garfield.
Exactly like yesterday. How did the time pass so quickly?
Nice.
I’d rather watch commercials from 1991 than live another day in 2020.
The good old days when I was in my mid to Upper twenties, had hair, and wasn't too bad looking. I really miss those days. Full of energy and excitement. Getting old sucks!
One of the most important years of my life. 19 years old . Full of dreams and hopes. And many important changes happened that year for me. I lived through more in that one year than perhaps i ever have. What a great and important time.
The 90s were the best in everything
Mc Hammer was the man back in the day..good memories.
Can't believe they fucked with my mans pepsi
Heck yeah. There wasn't a radio station back then that wasn't playing Hammer., well maybe not the country ones LOL. So much fun back in the day.
He was biggest rapper dancer that was back late 80’s early 90s
With terrible taste in pop.
@@kdrapertrucker Pepsi's New Generation campaign was paying off and paying out and therefore nearly all relevant youth icons would either genuinely prefer it just to be on the cool side of things, and to get paid, a trend as well as Coke didn't have a response yet, but Pepsi didn't win the cola wars because they were stupid enough to ignore the fact that Coke had permanent, multi generational monopolies on McDonalds, Burger King, and multiple movie chains, that was never going to change, and when that whole ad kerfuffle died down, back comes Coca Cola classic reminding us that they also commercially own santa claus and therefore Christmas, employing nostalgia to beat new and Pepsi has to take a back seat and consider buying up other sodas, juice drinks to stay in the game, and Coke did the same as well
They couldn't at least get someone who sounds a LITTLE like Garfield? Jesus.
Back when Pizza Hut pan pizzas were AMAZING. I still eat them, but they were WAY better back then, somehow.
They were always made in cast iron pans.
A supreme personal pan pizza for $1.79? Take me back there -- please!
@@chrsn If the issue is really that they're baking them over those roller-bar, conveyor-belt-like ovens instead of a pan, then I'd be perfectly happy with adjusting for inflation and paying even a little more to back to the way it was. I'd REALLY like to have dine-in Pizza Huts where you could put a couple of songs on the jukebox, have a seat, get refills in those little red cups and have them bring to me pan pizzas sizzling in the pan again. I don't think a lot of people have really thought about how many of these kinds of things we've lost for no good reason. I'd like cafeteria-style restaurants and Burger King fries pre-'97-ish back, too.
He sounds like a rip off jimminy cricket

@@mr.merritt7125 ROFL. I doubt if I could ever unhear that now. 😂
I loved watching Ducktails when I came home from school!
Used to fast-forward commercials on my video player, now I'm actively watching them on YT.
If only I could go back and have a talk with my 17 year old self. I'd have a lot of advise and dos and don'ts to give myself for sure.
Back when you actually wanted to watch the commercials!
As I watched it gradually brought me to tears.. like they say about life flashing before your eyes.. a journey back in time.. a time so familiar.. a time so distant.. we didn’t realise we had witnessed the turn of a century.. now it has turned we don’t know who we are..
This is close to a time machine I would ever get to catching my youth again and I love it
I was 15. I played high school football for the Cortez Colts on the O Line. It was year one of being an Arizona Cardinals fan (then the Phoenix Cardinals) to date that's 29 years a fan of apparent heartbreak. My favorite shows to watch late at night were Taxi and USA Up All Night. I had quite the culture shock experience moving from small town Steelville Missouri to Phoenix Arizona.
I was around the same age, I remember watching USA up all night. If I remember correctly, there’s was a hot host
Moved here to Mesa too in 1991
Great place to live until now.Too many people, traffic and gov. restrictions
Good.
It’s interesting to see how 1991 was actually closer to the 1960’s in the way TV advertising was. At the time, these commercials seemed modern and normal and not “60’s” at all!
Brings chills watching this...some of these commercials I remember...
The 90s:The last memorable, distinct decade. The 00s and 10s are interchangeable: same clothes, same trends, same music, same everything. Only the tech was different. Nothing from 06 was different in 16. But 76 to 86 to 96? Those who were there know what I'm talking about.
1991 seems like yesterday, not 30 years ago.
Scary, how we're closer to 2040, than 1991. Damn!
everything from 1991 looks horribly dated and you see its a long long time ago
Right.
Watching these brings back memories. Love how the Disney Vault was strong in 1991. Here in 2020 with Disney plus the vault is hopefully a thing of the past.
“If you foul up...”
Wow. Really hits you where you live!
Recall the actor by chance?
@@rob7325 absolutely!
I loved wings.
Cool show.
Kids n things were normal then. Before technology and “smart” devices destroyed society
Skips 2 mins of commercials to watch commercials
lol good one!
What 😳.
Wow, brings back memories of middle school to high school. I remember many of those commercials one of my favs was the Hammer Pepsi commercial 👍🏾👍🏾
I remember the “Feelings.. nothing more than Feelings...” Haha
Hammer time!
I was 15 in ‘91 and young people didn’t have cellphones and computers or give a crap about politics, political correctness and social justice. That’s why it was better.
I think that people ate alot of soup back in the early 90s. 😂
That's what I was thinking 😂
Thirty years later and they just sold me on Prego. Later Ragu!
2020: I wish I could skip the UA-cam ads.
2050: UA-cam suggestion for retro UA-cam ads from 2020.
I never liked unskippable ads and yet here I am watching 1991 ads.
Back when people weren’t offended by a sneeze
:-D
Bless you.
I feel like I am in a timeslip because there are several of these commercials that I remember quite vividly. Crazy!
it shows you how all that information is still in your brain, the connections just have to be triggered. Crazy when you think about the storage capacity of the average brain
Yes.
"He'll drop everything for Campbell's Chunky Soup"
I was 10-11 this year. It fucks me up how well I remember these as I watch them. Time flies, people
Sat through this in its entirety. Ahh, the good ol days
I love how Disney is one of the richest companies in the world and they STILL use a non 1-800 number (i.e. toll free)
When you think about it. Why would they want to put a barrier for you to spend money? They know when you call 407-W disney, you are about to come up off some green anyway.
Speaking of that, remember when you would call someone "long distance"? I remember calling relatives and we would have to keep it short 😂
@@HealthyandLovingLife I remember that so well! And waiting until after 6 pm to telephone long distance so you can get a better rate.
@@cyphrinfinity9992 Yes! And when cell phones started offering free long distance, it was unbelievable!

Theres early 90's, mid 90's, and late 90's
It was all downhill after '96.
@@beingsshepherd Unfortunately you are correct, because you have nostalgia defining a particular decade in the latter half of the 20th century, but what nostalgia will one find in 2030 about 2001, 2002, or 2011 and 2012 in 2040? The launch of social media (which amplified the social and economic divisions we are witnessing now?) The 9/11 terrorist attacks, which was used as an excuse to widdle away significant chunks of our freedom, or this pandemic, which will likely dismantle the remnants of the freedoms we enjoyed as late as December of 2019?
@@Radoll I was speaking more culturally.
I feel that things plateaued around that manic, prolific period (a golden age to some), then descended into decadent entropy, surfeit and trivia.
After the murder of Tupac Shakur _gangster rap_ adopted an increasingly funereal theme and gothic font, the jingoistic Fox News was established, Tim Burton's Mars Attacks! was scathing propaganda against dovish politics, South Park lurched to the mean-spirited right, the video arcade was perhaps ruined by emulators, then there was the garish Bling Bling movement which seemed to elevate money and maybe even CGI over art; shocking Columbine & Dunblane massacres against schoolchildren, Harry Potter, Spice Girls, Pokemon, fatuous Star Wars prequels, Supersized fast food, the nihilism of widespread filesharing theft, Millennium Bug hysteria ...
@@beingsshepherd Emulators didn't ruin arcades, it was the consoles (not that I'm a console hater).
@@beingsshepherd '96 had that old vibe, but when 97 came it all became sligthly more modern
Anyone notice how good the photography was in these early 90's commercials? It's like they mastered a certain look before it all changed in the mid to late 90's. Also the ambient music is so whimsical. Whoever made these probably had a mini empire going!
Just the other day, my step kids asked me "What were the 90's like?"
I've never felt so old IN MY LIFE.
2:08 skateboard, a computer, an electric guitar, Campbells’s soup?? Things sure have changed
I remember my mom and grandma buying the paper carton of fabric softener. I wonder why they don't make those anymore...?
And the Wisk also. I wish that was still around. On another of these kinds of commercial videos there was an ad for both a detergent and a fabric softener both in the same product!!!
Oh well
Watching these 90s commercials makes me think that I was born in the wrong decade, the 90s were one of the best decades.
Wow!! I didn't realize we ate so much soup back in '91.
