33:00 When they show the "Mineral Ice" container up close, it almost looks like it says "Funeral Ice"(?)--the first letter is apparently supposed to be an "M", but it looks kind of weird to me.
11:56 $499 in 1987 could get you a 25" TV with maybe 36 channels. In 2021 you can get a 50" with availability of nearly any movie or TV show from past 100 years, including this video.
23:08 I'd forgotten all about the Kiplinger Report (or, the "privately circulated" Kiplinger Washington Letter). At the time, there were lots of magazines with similar content (as shown in this ad), the names of some of which ring a bell (Fortune, BusinessWeek, etc.), and some of those might still be in circulation for all I know. Of course, nowadays similar information is almost certainly available from various websites.
34:35 Anyone know who the woman in the "976-WAKE" ad was? ...Apparently, calling that phone # allowed you to set up a later "wakeup or reminder" call back to you at a designated time, to keep you from sleeping on the job, LOL
I remember copies of The New Yorker laying around the common areas of my grandmother’s retirement home back in the 90s. I never remember seeing a copy anyplace else. I remember an episode of the Simpsons where Marge says they got a rejection letter when trying to subscribe to it.
The crudely-drawn picture used there is funny, because if that's really how they "fix" their problems (just pulling nuts & bolts out of a TV camera), they're never going to get back on the air! ;)
"Krazy Glue--strong enough to hold this man suspended in mid-air!" Well, only if he maintains a firm grasp on that helmet...unless his head is glued to the helmet too, LOL

I was 12 years old living in Bensonhurst Brooklyn at the time

a 976 number for either a wake up call or just a few encouraging words? and only $2 a call? damn, i miss the 80s
2:10 Night Heat , watched the show all the time because it was made in Toronto,Ontario.
Multitech Warehouse Direct!
1:19
A young Jerry O'Connel in the Ritz Bits ad. :D
And Vicki Lewis as well.

Nice, dreary day? Get a nice cup of coffee and a side of snack. Play oldie commercials all day.
Yes!
Yes I day dream I'm there again and I wake up in my room I'm 6 again and this reality was just a really bad dream. Lord please bring back the 80:s lol
9:30 Duracell battery ad--"best if installed by Dec. '90". Hmm, I guess I'd better throw mine away then (or recycle them), LOL

So much fur and 976.
37:49 I remember those guys, Vince and Larry. They had a brief sitcom and a toy line, that lasted into the early 90's.
"37:49" is the end of the video, FWIW

3:10 A 27-inch TV for $570 (?!?) Imagine how much that would be in today's dollars...
Go Number ones.
And good Fun and Smiles.
And go good toys and go Great Electronics.
And go great music.
4:45 hahaha 2001? Nope,’that was probably a date holder.
4:45 someone thought we would have flying cars in the 80s? Where are these flying cars these days?
I like that technical difficulties bumper. I'd like that as a 10 hr loop and fall asleep to the white noise.
RHGarciaApr85 Needs to have some "Beautiful Music" instead!
It looks like it was created in the 70's.
0:14 W.B. Brydon speaks for Contac. You'll also recognize his very distinctive voice from the Oxy 10 commercials.
I always associate his voice with Renault.
@@75aces97 Yes, he did some memorable voice-overs for Renault, too.

5:28 LOL at re Technical Difficulties!

I was a year old when this aired I remember it
And come January of 1988 many parents of teen girls are wondering why they have a three hundred dollar phone bill
Hello
33:04 Been lookin 4 that ad! I remember and like that song @ 33:18!
