i was thinking it was cool then now its kinda lame i hate commercials most of them are so retarded they tell you think you want to hear to sell the product but you have to take there sales pitch with a grain of salt don't believe everything you hear because they will lie like a rug to sell you the everything including the kitchen sink

@@cliffyknight Yes! Fran Tarkington, Kathy Lee Crosby, and that other dude who wore make up. I mostly remember the poor Chinese kid with "two heads". His twin brother was part of his face. Evil Kaneeval was on one too. That's also on YT, btw! Along with SCTV, which my sister and loved. 🥂
You've got a gold mine of trash television here. Genuinely, thank you-- I love this stuff. You're basically preserving our history and it's amazing the little incidental things you can learn about how people thought and behaved back in the 80s, from watching random daytime TV.
Man, I remember vividly people dressing like this, the music, the look of houses and kitchens, Intellivision, cable boxes and tin foil. It hurts. I dont want to think anymore.
I always got up early on Saturday to watch cartoons. School House Rock is still embedded in my brain. My favorite cartoon was Dungeons and Dragons. Edit: Oh yeah, Land of the Lost was pretty awesome also.
I've been feeling nostalgic lately and this is the icing on the cake 🎂! Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us! I loved this show as a little kid! This is when families would sit down and watch TV together and us little kids would talk about it the next day at school! Again, thank you!
I used to love this show. I was in 4th grade in 1981. The only thing was that the haunting/ghost stories used to freak me out, and I couldn't sleep after watching it.
There are about 12 random full episodes of 'That's Incredible!' on UA-cam now, just like this with the commercials. A few different people are posting them. Hopefully they have more episodes they haven't posted yet. We'll see.
Yes! Some of my scariest memories as a kid were because of this show. My bedtime was before That's Incredible would come on, but I would crawl on my belly to peer through the spindles of ourbsecond floor inside balcony railings so I could see what my parents were watching down below in the family room. I'd quickly regret I did that when those scary clips would come on. The one about Amityville haunted me with nightmares occassionally for years.
Thank you for uploading this! I was just a couple of weeks away from my 8th birthday when this aired. I thought Cathy Lee Crosby was so pretty and went around telling people I was going to marry her when I grew up. That never happened so I became gay instead. I'm actually amazed at how well I remember the theme to this show when I haven't seen it since it left the air.
Holy cow, I remember watching that exact Tuesday night lineup they had in the commercials with my family. I remember my mother commenting about the wife in too close for comfort being pregnant and laughing at his reaction.
That's interesting that you said that because the producer of "In Search Of" also produced "That's Incredible". His name (Alan Landsburg) is in the credits at the beginning.
""YES"! Guy, who appears in the 1981 McDonald's commercial used to be on a lot of shows in the 70's Frank Brandon Nelson (May 6, 1911 - September 12, 1986)
You'll find Frank Nelson in a lot of I Love Lucy Episodes, playing various characters before playing Ralph Ramsey when the Ricardo's move to the country.

Man Does This Bring Back Memories of Sitting and watching Thats Incredible As a Little Kid in The Early 1980s With Late MOM and My Dad and my Little brother
I remember when I used to watch this show with my Mom when I was 14, 15 16 years old and the name speaks for itself, That's Incredible ! I remember 1981 like it was just yesterday! I know I'm getting old, cause I've never missed the good old days so much!
Thanks for uploading this blast from the past!! I had actually forgotten about this show.. also, it’s funny how reruns have been airing for decades of some of the sitcoms they were advertising as NEW episodes for in the commercials.. crazy how fast time goes by..
I remember loving this show as a kid as I always wanted to know more about the world and its wonders 😊 Remember back then we did not have the internet and TV was all we had!
I turned 14 yrs old on this date. And I remember this episode. For the car jump. And John k. Space suit. Just amazing how the brain works . And recalls all this stuff.
I hear they are bringing this show back. But there wont be any new footage; just the stuff that didn’t make the cut the first time. The new show will be called “That’s kind of interesting”
Had a childhood friend who said he and his mother were on an episode. He was attacked by an alligator in Crystal river florida, and his mother saved him from the gstor. Its true he was grabbed and she rescued him, but i never seen the actual episode. Others backed his story . I think im gonna go hunt for the episode now, answer a 38 year old question
Same here, but 'Real People' is on Amazon now, and I tried watching an episode, and it did not stand the test of time. It was cringy. I loved it back in the day, but now I can't believe I ever did.
Thank you so much for posting this video with the commercials left in! I love it! My family and I use to watch this show all the time when I was a kid. I actually remember alot of these commercials.
I was a young boy during this magical time. Video games, music, mtv, cartoons, MJ, paper routes. Computer age took some of that charm away. My kids always ask about the 80’s. They love watching “80’s toy commercials!” Lol
One last thing... the MNF offering that night featured the Miami Dolphins at the Bufffalo Bills; Joe Ferguson threw for over 300 yards in a 31-21 victory for Buffalo.
Ken Carter, the stunt driver featured in this episode, was killed in a car jumping stunt two years later. At least he died doing what he loved. This clip jumping the river was also in Faces of Death II.
I grew up right near there. I remember driving past the ramp and my dad pointing it out. Even as a kid I could see the angle of the ramp was too steep to be able to make it across.
I was 10 when this was on TV. The local ads are from Toledo, Ohio. Channel 24 the ABC affiliate I believe. This is a total time warp for me! Thank god I got out of Toledo.
I was just watching a documentary about ken carter then I decided to look for some episodes of that's incredible and the first one I watch talks about his car jump. Now that's incredible
@@KingedwardsndJk this is very interesting! Did you actually not have sweat glans, do you still have this problem, and if so how do you cope with it today?
I remember the episode with the two faced man. It was a guy with a malformed face, and I was so freaked out by the teaser, I had to turn it off when the segment actually ran. Traumatized I was. It’s all so quaint now.
Thanks for keeping the Commercials! My hometown, I was surprised when I saw Woodville appliance and Jim Tichy. I was 9 and I probably watched it when it aired.
Along with You Asked For It and Ripley's Believe it or Not these three were the best tv shows that showed alot of what was out there and often never reported by mainstream media because they probably appeared too sensational, regardless people still need and deserve to know what is out there.
Good memories. Ripley's was awesome. Used to love the Six Million Dollar Man and Fantasy Island also. Edit: I can't forget watching The Love Boat also.
Some of it is funny to watch, how staged it looks. Every word out of peoples' mouths is obviously scripted, including when they supposedly ask questions of 'random' audience members. We never saw it back in the day though, it seemed genuine and real. All the reality shows today are completely staged and scripted too, and it's more convincing to some people than others, but it's no less fake.
I have been looking for this for a long time. I am that little kid. I am 42 now and have a small family of my own. This video has brought tears to my eyes. I have heard story of this but to finally see it is amazing. Thank you for wondering how i am. I have a Facebook if anyone wold like to talk. 😊
I was 10 when this show aired. Great to see this! The commercials are great! Oh, to go back to that time. An eye opener to see how far we have advanced in just a short period of time.
Yep that was a toys-r-us in either santa clara or san jose CA. I went there a couple times as a kid. My parents didnt seem to care it had hauntings, we didn't see or feel anything out of the ordinary.
I found myself fast forwarding to the ads, and it made me remember as a kid watching this show and thinking "lady, that's not particularly incredible. Get to the crazy weird stuff already!"
In the very first commercial, the McDonald's "ticket agent" is Frank Nelson of "The Jack Benny Show." ("Yeeees?") The old man in the car is Parker Fennelly, who played Titus Moody ("Howdy, Bub!") on "The Fred Allen Show," and later appeared in numerous Pepperidge Farm commercials. The McDonald's commercial is a reunion of two character actors from the Golden Age of Radio.
26:14 Boondoggled in a northern stretch of Southern Ontario, huddled around a 13" black and white TV in a motel made of clapboard and dreams, we watched the documentary on Ken and his dreams. The Big Jump. If you've not seen it, it is quite the ride. Every commercial break had a cheesy ad proclaiming Ken's upcoming appearance at a local racetrack to claim a new record. It was relentless. Days later I learned that at this appearance, Ken's life would end. The Daredevil lifestyle is the ultimate roll of the dice. I know, right?
This show was lost to my memory, but by a complete accident, I had the return of the memory of the 1983 ABC Movie - Making of a Male Model with Jon Eric-Hexum, and at the end of the movie, the credits are rolling, and the announcer says "Up Next" is "That's Amazing" and I am here because of the tv announcer saying it. "The commercials are incredible because they have that jingle to them, which lights all people up, just like they light me up inside too. "There are no tv announcer's anymore, what a pity, and what a shame, and commercials don't have that jingle to them anymore, which is sad in my book.
I like watching the commercials more than the show I think. They take me back to happier times.
False
My brother and I were teens back then and every time That's Incredible came on we would spend the commercial time exploring our bodies.
There’s a UA-cam channel that has thousands of these old commercials.
True. Things were so much better in the 80s when people were convinced that things were so much better in the 50s when people were convinced that things were so much better in the 20s
Commercials are commercials no nostalgia from commercials
Keeping the commercials in adds to the nostalgia!
My brother and I were teens back then and every time That's Incredible came on we would spend the commercial time exploring our bodies.
When this first started and I saw the commercials, I immediately thought "nope , f¥©£ that....." But then it hit me.... I was like 7 years old when this was on , and I guarantee you I watched it.... This was THE show I couldn't miss. My mom always reminded me it was gonna come on. It's one of few times my older bro shut the hell up and wasn't antagonizing me. When I was at my grandparents house , they always set up the tv for me . Grandma would have me some snacks and stuff. My grandpa would sit on the back porch steps and make sure no one went in to his room and bugged me. .......
Yeah , I'm gonna sit here and watch this in it's entirety....... The first 3 seconds brought back way too many memories to just fluff it off.... It's earned my view......
@becky does it what?😂
That, and it keeps a chunk of time alive and well! One could relive watching something from, say, 8:00pm on October 12th, 1981... 40 years ago!

Yeah, I was so young. I had just turned 5yrs old in that year. But I remember this show.
Yep I actually remember this one. I watched it to see the Lincoln jump it was a big deal at school I was 13 years old.
I loved how practically every commercial had a jingle back then. As a kid, I would sing along with the ads. 😁
And that's why you still remember them. I work in advertising and the point of those Jingles is to make sure they get stuck in your head forever.
My brother and I were teens back then and every time That's Incredible came on we would spend the commercial time exploring our bodies.
They also had original music for the jingles. These days companies seem to copy popular songs.

@@peaceonearth351 That's the episode I remember the most too! After that, every time I had an itch I would think about those creatures!
I saw John at NBC in 1981, I was in the audience for his talk show, wish I could find it somewhere.
Thanks for keeping the Commercials! My hometown, I was surprised when I saw Woodville appliance and Jim Tichy. I was 9 and I probably watched it when it aired.
Watching this afterschool was the highlight of my day back then!
I was 10 in 81'... loved this show! thanks for posting this.
Love it when videos like these include the commercials, even if they’re different than those from California. Never have forgotten this show.
I remember watching this when I was a little kid.
Along with You Asked For It and Ripley's Believe it or Not these three were the best tv shows that showed alot of what was out there and often never reported by mainstream media because they probably appeared too sensational, regardless people still need and deserve to know what is out there.
Good memories. Ripley's was awesome. Used to love the Six Million Dollar Man and Fantasy Island also. Edit: I can't forget watching The Love Boat also.
My favorite show as a kid.
Did not know this was considered Reality. Lol!
Some of it is funny to watch, how staged it looks. Every word out of peoples' mouths is obviously scripted, including when they supposedly ask questions of 'random' audience members. We never saw it back in the day though, it seemed genuine and real. All the reality shows today are completely staged and scripted too, and it's more convincing to some people than others, but it's no less fake.
Yup I'm 52yrs old and I wish I could go back one time in the 80s and change certain things
I wonder what became of John K?
Poor little fella. No kid should have to deal with that.
Me too.
As a father of 3, that breaks my damn heart
I’m thinking the exact same thing.
I have been looking for this for a long time. I am that little kid. I am 42 now and have a small family of my own. This video has brought tears to my eyes. I have heard story of this but to finally see it is amazing. Thank you for wondering how i am. I have a Facebook if anyone wold like to talk. 😊
Sometimes they had on that show some warm stories. And sometimes touching. Thanks for posting!
I was 10 when this show aired. Great to see this! The commercials are great! Oh, to go back to that time. An eye opener to see how far we have advanced in just a short period of time.
Omg I was 10 too... October 13
Is John K's truck from The Fall Guy? :) And those cat batteries always came DOA in the package for me lol! :-P
This is john k and if I remember correctly those battery’s did suck. They never stayed charged

I remember watching a ghost story about a toy store, the toys would move on their own. Scared the shit out of us kids.
Ditto
if i remember correctly that was a "TOY-R-US" branch back when the franchise was just getting started.....
Yep that was a toys-r-us in either santa clara or san jose CA. I went there a couple times as a kid. My parents didnt seem to care it had hauntings, we didn't see or feel anything out of the ordinary.
@@MuvoTX probably rigged up, but it did the job!
@@MuvoTX now that i think about it a bit the store only had strange goings on at night when the store was closed...
I found myself fast forwarding to the ads, and it made me remember as a kid watching this show and thinking "lady, that's not particularly incredible. Get to the crazy weird stuff already!"
In the very first commercial, the McDonald's "ticket agent" is Frank Nelson of "The Jack Benny Show." ("Yeeees?") The old man in the car is Parker Fennelly, who played Titus Moody ("Howdy, Bub!") on "The Fred Allen Show," and later appeared in numerous Pepperidge Farm commercials. The McDonald's commercial is a reunion of two character actors from the Golden Age of Radio.
Speed queen is actually one of the best washing machines . I have a 2017 speed queen and the thing is a beast .
Wasn't Maytag popular back then also?
26:14 Boondoggled in a northern stretch of Southern Ontario, huddled around a 13" black and white TV in a motel made of clapboard and dreams, we watched the documentary on Ken and his dreams. The Big Jump. If you've not seen it, it is quite the ride. Every commercial break had a cheesy ad proclaiming Ken's upcoming appearance at a local racetrack to claim a new record. It was relentless. Days later I learned that at this appearance, Ken's life would end. The Daredevil lifestyle is the ultimate roll of the dice. I know, right?
I watched this show as a kid when it aired live… Damn time flies...
3 days before the doc cut me out of my mother's stomach. Thanks Doc.
Mr. Whipple in a maccs commercial? He repped Charmin Toilet Tissue. Thanks for the upload! My teacher would play segments of the science segments.
2 days before I was born. Thanks for the upload!
I was 10 when i saw this episode awesome one thank you brought back awesome memory's
I remember watching this episode when I was a kid.
That's Mr Whipple don't squeeze the Charmin
The stuff you find is incredible! Keep it up!
Love the nostalgia with older commercials also,now this is one show that needs a dvd release
I was 12 when this episode aired.. LoL I remember it was one of my favorite shows.
This and Real People. Regards from NZ, thanks for those real stories.
This show was lost to my memory, but by a complete accident, I had the return of the memory of the 1983 ABC Movie - Making of a Male Model with Jon Eric-Hexum, and at the end of the movie, the credits are rolling, and the announcer says "Up Next" is "That's Amazing" and I am here because of the tv announcer saying it. "The commercials are incredible because they have that jingle to them, which lights all people up, just like they light me up inside too. "There are no tv announcer's anymore, what a pity, and what a shame, and commercials don't have that jingle to them anymore, which is sad in my book.
That's Incredible was,to me at least, Sunday night comfort food, especially when it was paired up with Those Amazing Animals.Great memories.
I wonder if John K is still with us.
I'm wondering the same...
Yes I am. I’m 42 with a little family. Find me on Facebook. John K Edwards
