So, I am a child of the 80s and know that during this time, we were inundated with commercials for processed foods and sugary sweets. The fortunate thing is many households still consumed in moderation, however, this is the pinnacle where the downfall-snowball sits. This was the BEST time though!
Oh my God!!..I use too watch Super Friends as a little kid with a bowl of Capt'N Crunch cereal every Saturday morning!!..That's the Best time EVER as a Kid!!
Happy, Happy 600! This post is right on time! As always, I'm spending my Saturday Morning watching 80's Saturday morning commercials and eating cereal. Can't say enough how much I appreciate your work in posting these commercials to your channel. Thank You!
I always did like "The great American Melting Pot". And me and my brother would cut grass for money to get EVERY He Man figure. Wish we would have kept them.lol.
I grew up in Detroit and these stations were the ones I watched as a kid. For anyone curious, the background of the WXYZ station ID at the start is the Hyatt Regency Hotel and the Monorail that connected it to the Fairlane Town Center Mall in Dearborn. The monorail is long gone, taken down in 1988, and the hotel has been shuttered for years as well. but surprisingly, the mall is still open and doing business.
That "Great American Melting Pot" song would NEVER be shown on TV today. So sad that it has come to that. I guess that's why I'll be playing it in class this week.
I remember watching this as a child. WOW. It brings back memories. It's crazy how people find this subversive or offensive. We have gone backwards for sure.
@@melissacooper4482 It's not. It's just how divided & racist this country has become due to 45 in charge, bringing out a lot of people's true colors & how they feel about other races/religions/ethnic backgrounds.
Congrats on 600 80s commercial uploads! I have watched every single one and I come to your channel for the witticisms, commentary and shared nostalgia! Shout out to the regular followers that comment on these uploads over all of these years!
I was in the Army and spent almost all of the 80's in Europe so its weird, I don't remember most of these. All we had was AFN, one tv channel lol. Was culture shock coming back.
This must have been the final television airing of "Mighty Orbots" ever (to my knowledge) as the new Fall '85 season premiered the following week. Good news is that "Mighty Orbots" has finally been released on DVD in 2018, thirty-three long years later.
Congratulations on 600! I’m happy to say I’ve watched every one. Fruit Roll-Ups…my mom would never buy these. I didn’t get to eat one until several years later, and was underwhelmed. That Schoolhouse Rock clip…wow. It really is what we all are! “She-Ra Doll Sold Separately.” I thought she was an action figure? OMG “Computer Critters” that’s so incredible! The Future Blob beat me senseless and told me to be a bus driver. Those ‘Pump’ toothpastes didn’t work very well, seems like a lot was wasted. Needless to say, they didn’t last all that long. I couldn’t get over the fact that Ovaltine wasn’t a new product, at least according to my mom. O.G. Readmore was great, I noticed at the library looking for his book suggestions were already checked out. Cookie Crisp, what a bit of marketing genius! That M&M’s commercial was classic! I still consider the green ones 'homers.'
Every commercial was innocent. Compared to nowadays .... lawyer commercials and pharmaceutical bull shit with their deadly side effects. What I wouldn’t give to go back to times like these.
This makes me miss cartoons on a Saturday morning. I wish they brought cartoons back on a Saturday but that will not happen. This nice commercial block totally reeks of awesomeness. I totally dig your channel.
These are awesome..that HI-C jingle reminds me of the jingle KFC used for the chicken little's sandwiches man I miss those along with Nintendo cereal,TMNT fruit pies,
Alright - who won the $1,000,000 from Captain Crunch? I mean did they ever promote the winners of these things? - like a photo of the winner? I never ever ever heard of a winner from these things, or, say, the Mc Donald's flexi record contest.
I actually remember the Great American Pot song from elementary school Also the voice of that raccoon from that Computer Critters cartoon sounds like a very, very young Rob Paulson.
I'm surprise they don't air back. The Ewokes and Droids cartoons with all the Star Wars craze going on as a tribute! Computer Critters were talking about touch screen already?! During the 80's?! Interesting, how the Nestle Bunny can have his beverage drink. But, the Trix Bunny cannot eat his own cereal! Ironic isn't?
10:01 don't forget to learn about computers. 12:10 also learn about jobs. for example, if her favorite hobby is sewing, a girl can be a seamstress, a fashion designer, or a pattern maker. 21:32 a totally believable premise for a show.
I haven't seen 'future blob' in forever! Also I don't remember mighty orbots but I assume it was another US/Japan collab like Bionic Six was? additionally I remember having some of the 'crackups' cars, a neat concept!
"Since 1985 the future has grown from a manageable small angry cloud into a cat 5 hurricane" You'd better believe it, baby! Especially emphasis on the "cat," if you know what I mean (meow!) I have two "Zack of All Trades" on two different tapes from 1987, and I never knew until this moment those were Luther Vandross. Huh. You learn something new every day.
The kids now are really missing out on real entertainment. The commercials were just as great as the shows.
That they were & I lived that time at age 12 & in 6th grade. Mighty Orbots, Ewoks, Droids, The promo bumps (We'll return after these messages), Turbo Teen ( The Human Equivalent of Transformers)...Who doesn't want that capability? For starters, cuts down on parking LOL.

So very true
I liked the Melting Pot song. We need this today.
Hemlawk AKA EDK - I am Greek and Irish, and my great-grandma’s name is on a plaque on Ellis Island, as an immigrant in 1908. When I heard that song as a kid, it made me proud of my family.
I miss all these wonderful shows and commercials, and the simple way things were!!
So, I am a child of the 80s and know that during this time, we were inundated with commercials for processed foods and sugary sweets. The fortunate thing is many households still consumed in moderation, however, this is the pinnacle where the downfall-snowball sits. This was the BEST time though!
The Great American Melting Pot feels so timely today.
Great batch of ads! Congrats on reaching 600 volumes!
Oh my God!!..I use too watch Super Friends as a little kid with a bowl of Capt'N Crunch cereal every Saturday morning!!..That's the Best time EVER as a Kid!!
Captain O.G. Readmore! I love that reading cat!
I love old commercials, but I really adore old commercials from Michigan. So many good memories from my childhood. 💜🤚💜
Happy, Happy 600!
This post is right on time! As always, I'm spending my Saturday Morning watching 80's Saturday morning commercials and eating cereal. Can't say enough how much I appreciate your work in posting these commercials to your channel. Thank You!
Omg...The Littles!!! That brings back a lot of memories!!
I had that She-Ra toy. Dang that brought back memories. I remember I got her and Swiftwind for my 5th Birthday
‘“We’ll return after these messages” the 80’s were so considerate about going to commercial... nowadays we don’t have that..
Well, in Fall of 1987, it got replaced with "After These Messages, We'll Be Right Back."
Saturday morning cartoons, when they played real cartoons.
Andew70. Yes, there was no sleeping late in Saturday's. That was cartoon day.
People ask me how I can have a 30 year old commercial jingle stuck in my head. By golly, THIS is how!!! :)
I was an 80s kid. It was a much simpler time then.
I always did like "The great American Melting Pot". And me and my brother would cut grass for money to get EVERY He Man figure. Wish we would have kept them.lol.
OG Read more was one of my favorites.
I grew up in Detroit and these stations were the ones I watched as a kid.

I love this volume it feels like the last gasp of summer before kids went back to school
grew up a 80's child remember these commercials so much i can say some of the commercials especially the cereal commercials lol.
A new fall season on Saturday Morning was always the highlight of the year for me.
I had some of those Crack Ups they were really cool.
These were great, yet it pains me to no longer be a child.
Would u really want to be a "child" today????
I'm glad to have been a kid in the 1970s!!!!
@@elmobolan4274 I'm 11 and always have wished to have been born in the 80's
(I'm sad about growing up)
That American melting pot commercial really hit me hard. America really has changed over the years.
It can be partially blamed on the regime we’re under.
I remember wanting that She-Ra doll so much when I was a kid 🙄😆
It's crazy to see all these and listen to the songs again 😏 thanks for this!
Lolo Queen she's awsome
Matt Mc
Right?! 😄😁😋
I only want you
That "Great American Melting Pot" song would NEVER be shown on TV today. So sad that it has come to that. I guess that's why I'll be playing it in class this week.
I thought the same thing. Now even non-white American citizens are told to go back to the sh*th*le countries they are presumed to have come from. Sad.
How is The Great American Melting Pot politically incorrect?
I remember watching this as a child. WOW. It brings back memories. It's crazy how people find this subversive or offensive. We have gone backwards for sure.
@@melissacooper4482 It's not. It's just how divided & racist this country has become due to 45 in charge, bringing out a lot of people's true colors & how they feel about other races/religions/ethnic backgrounds.
To be fair, America has had a hateful view of immigrants dating back to at least early 1800s
Love the turbo teen clip at the end. Truly unsettling.
Congrats on 600 80s commercial uploads! I have watched every single one and I come to your channel for the witticisms, commentary and shared nostalgia! Shout out to the regular followers that comment on these uploads over all of these years!
tyvm for throwing in some cartoon openings as a nice bonus!!
I was in the Army and spent almost all of the 80's in Europe so its weird, I don't remember most of these. All we had was AFN, one tv channel lol. Was culture shock coming back.
I remember the day in 1985 when my mom brought me one of those Burger King He-Man cups. I was He-Man crazy back then.
Me too lol. Born in '82, and He-Man was the bees knees for us 80's kids haha
A school house rock music vid is in there too? Awesome!!! I like it!
This must have been the final television airing of "Mighty Orbots" ever (to my knowledge) as the new Fall '85 season premiered the following week. Good news is that "Mighty Orbots" has finally been released on DVD in 2018, thirty-three long years later.
The kid with all the catchphrases in that Hot Wheels commercial was Robbie in Poltergeist.
Omg!! I remember all of this
Such great, great memories
Congratulations on 600! I’m happy to say I’ve watched every one.
Fruit Roll-Ups…my mom would never buy these. I didn’t get to eat one until several years later, and was underwhelmed.
That Schoolhouse Rock clip…wow. It really is what we all are!
“She-Ra Doll Sold Separately.” I thought she was an action figure?
OMG “Computer Critters” that’s so incredible!

That M&M’s commercial was classic! I still consider the green ones 'homers.'
I'm for team yellow M&M's
"we're the computer generation" hits me riiiight there (xennial 1980)
miss these mcdonaldsland story ads they were fun to watch
Fruit roll up rolled around your index... Gave a brand new meaning to Sticky Finger...
First touchscreen PC was from HP in 1983.
The airing of this was 2 days after my 3rd birthday. ❤️
This aired 27 days before my 3rd birthday.
Man nothing like chilhood days man.😭😭😭😭
Happy 600 to one of my favorite channels!
Whoa! Zack of All Trades? Been awhile since I've seen that! Luther Vandross did a wonderful job with those commercials.
Y’all generation rocked
And their generation is better than our generation
Every commercial was innocent. Compared to nowadays .... lawyer commercials and pharmaceutical bull shit with their deadly side effects. What I wouldn’t give to go back to times like these.
That’s because these were Saturday morning commercials lol
They were all innocent. Even the 900 numbers to call for a hot time at only 99¢ per minute.
Time to have that eye-plank removal procedure
Still avoiding that future blob. LoL
This makes me miss cartoons on a Saturday morning. I wish they brought cartoons back on a Saturday but that will not happen. This nice commercial block totally reeks of awesomeness. I totally dig your channel.
Your video descriptions are as insightful and amusing as ever. Grats on 600!
Happy 600th!
And I only remember the 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo because it introduced me to Vincent Price.
Happy 600! Been watching since 150!
These are awesome..that HI-C jingle reminds me of the jingle KFC used for the chicken little's sandwiches man I miss those along with Nintendo cereal,TMNT fruit pies,
I literally have not thought about The Littles since I was a kid. Probably the early 90s at the earliest. Computer Critters as well!
Alright - who won the $1,000,000 from Captain Crunch? I mean did they ever promote the winners of these things? - like a photo of the winner? I never ever ever heard of a winner from these things, or, say, the Mc Donald's flexi record contest.
Even if 1 won, there is the issue of privacy, especially when it comes to kids.
Think outcome of grownup lottery winners...😱.
Detroit ..yay..i should remember all of these
I use to go to 4 bears as a kid had good memories and bday parties there!
Congrats on 600!! Your channel has been my favorite place on UA-cam for years and it's such a valuable archive.
Julie Meowmeows. I have to agree with you. Isn’t this the best channel ever?
When they advertised kids being the “computer generation”, I wish to god we had been able to predict the future.
Pretty crazy when you think about it!
Happy 600th post! :)
Somehow watching commercials like this is ok
I use to have that She-ra doll, lmao.
me too and the horse😄
Ennette Taylor Same 😲, so did I, I had the pink and blue horse.
@@becausekittenspaint1946 yes learned of that name later in life
Why do I not remember Mighty Orbots? The animation on the intro to that show is awesome!
I actually remember the Great American Pot song from elementary school
Also the voice of that raccoon from that Computer Critters cartoon sounds like a very, very young Rob Paulson.
thanks!
Happy 600!
Turbo Teen's transformation is the most horrifying thing I have ever seen.
I also posted another one previously in Vol. 540: ua-cam.com/video/YcNsZbtSCLY/v-deo.htmlm22s
You must have missed the commercial with Ronald McDonald and the curious Snowman... I’m terrified that winter is coming now...
To a dumb kid like me, Corn Flakes with a bit of sugar wasn't the same as Frosted Flakes. No wonder my Mother was so exasperated with me. Sorry Mom!
I'm surprise they don't air back. The Ewokes and Droids cartoons with all the Star Wars craze going on as a tribute!
Computer Critters were talking about touch screen already?! During the 80's?!
Interesting, how the Nestle Bunny can have his beverage drink. But, the Trix Bunny cannot eat his own cereal! Ironic isn't?

Congratulations on the 600th 1980s commercial block upload
I haven't seen 'future blob' in forever! Also I don't remember mighty orbots but I assume it was another US/Japan collab like Bionic Six was? additionally I remember having some of the 'crackups' cars, a neat concept!
Takes me back!!!!!
M&M’s...when they didn’t have the red ones!
The fear of red dye back then. Those were the days. Now it's everything else like peanuts & gluten.
Memories 😢
More people DO need to hear that song nowadays.
Happy 600th vid! (Or in this case, Happy 600th for the 80's section?) :D
Frostra and Catra? LOL. Her 'Catty' side? Wow. And how bout that theme song? "The fate of the world is in this hands of these beautiful girls"
Not sure when that satellite picture of the Four Bears water park land was taken that you saw, but it's all upscale homes around the water now.
Google maps satellite photo
"Since 1985 the future has grown from a manageable small angry cloud into a cat 5 hurricane"
You'd better believe it, baby! Especially emphasis on the "cat," if you know what I mean (meow!)
I have two "Zack of All Trades" on two different tapes from 1987, and I never knew until this moment those were Luther Vandross. Huh. You learn something new every day.
The White M&Ms kid is Stephen Dorff
I miss Alpha-Bits cereal.
I see where Michael Jackson got the idea of transforming into a car in Moonwalker short film. It came from Turbo Teen!!!! I'm Convinced!!!!
Not from my childhood but I still love them
I feel sorry for you. I was born in 1977 and nothing compares to the '80's.
@@John_Locke_108 nothing to feel sorry about, but yes I agree times were better back then
4:11 - "IT'S MADE OF PEOPLE!!!"
"To Serve Man"
#5 the fruit rollup commercial the redhead is Jenny Lewis.
I thought I recognized the girl form Troop Beverly Hills!
Yay She-Ra
They really overacted in the 80s😂😂. I miss the 80s
Oh wow, I literally just saw the She-ra commercial on the Toys that Made Us on Netflix.
this was three days after my mom died
I am so sorry😢
I remember almost every one of these commercials!
P.S.
FIG NEWTONS, NEVER WERE and NEVER, EVER WILL BE "COOKIES"!!!
#TheLies
Fig Newtons 🤢
i remember this
Yeah kid, have fun brushing your teeth with all that dirt, bark, and paint chips in your aqua fresh.
That looks like Josie Davis from Charles in Charge in the Fruit Roll-Ups ad.
Okay but where WAS Cap'n Crunch?
I don't remember but he was found & fighting Sog Master shortly afterwards & victory was achieved🥳.
In a dank, foul smelling cell in North Korea
24:48 Turbo Teen can turn into a car? OK. He can change the color of his clothes in mid transformation? Not buying it.
good times
Oh so thats the secret to baseball. Eat M&Ms
They must be eating a LOT of M&Ms today with all the home runs they're hitting.
HotWheels Crackups was so cool
So where was the capt at?
David Cronenberg should make a Turbo Teen movie!
Hmm, is that Jenny Lewis briefly in the Fruit Roll-Ups commercial?
