4:50 - Vanish impressed this crossing guard so much she abandoned her post. Not shown - The horrific carnage that resulted when she was lured away by Vanish’s toilet bowl cleaning power.
9:30 Robert Pine of CHiP's and father of Chris Pine in the Lowenbrau commercial and 14:01 Nancy McKeon of The Facts Of Life in the Best Foods Mayonnaise commercial! 😀
In 1979 I was six years old what I would do to go back even just 20 years but if you’re reading this don’t waste a single second this life of ours is more like a blip in time
"Rollercoaster" became famous for using the film gimmick "Sensurround" where low-frequency subwoofers were used in theaters to accentuate the rumbling of the coaster
Dial Roll On Antiperspirant- Seeing Kelly Harmon sit on the word DIAL throughout this commercial makes me wonder how comfortable it was to sit on something made out of plastic like that. Ball Park Hot Dogs- I like how they exaggerate how big these hot dogs get when you cook them by having them leave dents in the walls.
The two parks that were used in Virginia for Rollercoaster were Kings Dominion which had only been opened fully for two years at that time. The other one was Ocean View Amusement Park which was torn down and they destroyed the coaster at that park for the movie The Death of Ocean View Park. The coaster at that park was so well built that they tried to destroy it with explosives twice and it wouldn't come down.
My grandfather had a white Fairmont station wagon with maroon vinyl seats. When he installed his Sparkomatic, he was playing ZZ Top and Stevie Ray Vaughn tapes. Yes, he was "too old" for that music. lol Now, let's smoke some Raleighs so we can save up these coupons for a new toaster.
I think it was also on this channel and probably an old upload of 70's commercials (in the 2010's), that I curiously asked why Americans had cars that looked soooo long compared to todays cars. Of course, I'm not American so I wasn't familiar seeing "long cars" in my Asian country. Then someone replied that [indeed] the change of size of American cars had something to do with gas prices
From the 50's to 70's cars were not designed with fuel efficiency or aerodynamics in mind, as gas was cheap and plentiful and prices had more or less remained stagnant averaging at around 30-35 cents a gallon for a 20 year period. Having a long car was basically a status symbol and associated with luxury brands such as Cadillac. By the end of the 70's due to instability in the world oil market, the price of gas had more than tripled. www.titlemax.com/discovery-center/average-gas-prices-through-history/
As someone who loves traveling internationally, I love seeing commercials like the Visa ad featured here (2:20). Although this early 80s MasterCard ad summarizes this the best- ua-cam.com/video/FnNq-UGhVrc/v-deo.htmlsi=fUe-ku1o8dhZnodS.
Is this a first. Two different decades closing in on milestone volumes almost at the same time? The 90s is near vol 500 while the 70s is close to vol 100.
That was one of specials that Chevy did to leave SNL, as NBC was anxious to get him into primetime. Something like $1 million for 3 specials and they gave him a Porsche.
The back of those Ford station wagons: "Mom! Make Chris stop making faces at me! Mom! make Jennifer stop being a brat. Both of you stop or we're not going to Malibu Grand Prix tomorrow. Nooo Mom."
What you're looking at is something to do with the metal trim, possibly just a reflection. No fabric on that car...the "landau roof" they mention in the ad was a vinyl hardtop.
Rollercoaster-good film..missed opportunity to not have the Ohio Players song on the soundtrack Ball Park Hot Dogs-nowadays they don't have whatever it is that makes them"plump" Greatest Heroes Of The Bible-if only this had led to a cinematic universe.. Lowenbrau-he might also need some antacid after eating that steak Real People-Sarah should be glad that guy wasn't really a vampire..btw that Hanging By A Thread movie(another disaster film) is definitely not for people who have a fear of heights Kraft Parkay Margarine-don't have those bowls out around guests..they may think you're crazy if you say they talk Visine Eye Drops-with Morgan Brittany Best Foods Mayonnaise-the Big H Burger Sauce a.k.a"we have the Big Mac special sauce at home" Chevy Chase National Humor Test-winners receive a lifetime supply of painkillers for when they want to imitate all the times he fell down stairs
My grandfather worked for GE for almost 40 years, retiring in 1989. We had that exact GE food processor when I was young.

3:30 - Nothing sells your product like implying something is trying to break through the surface of your appliance…

6:21 - How can Andy Griffith throw a party without Don Knotts?
7:11 You just stole a tube of toothpaste from an old lady! You can see her reaching to take it back.
We had a whole cupboard full of those Parkay bowls. They stored everything.
7:20 - The guy with the hat in the Stanley Garage Door Opener commercial is definitely "Dean Travers" from Three's Company.

i remember seeing Rollercoaster in the theater in "Sensa-Round"
I also want to see the Van-Ish Van now too!
Funny how that "light" beer has more calories in eight states!
The David Niven looking guy in the Stanly Garage Door Opener commercial, is Danny Wells a.k.a. Luigi from the The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!

I totally have 'Rollercoaster' on DVD. lol
It's been far too long since the word "tetrahydrozylene" appeared in TV commercials.

11:32- Barbara Sharma and Sandra Gould.
Barbara really looked and sounded like she could be Sandra's daughter. They should have cast/wrote her in on Bewitched as the Kravitz daughter.
@1:39 Below the Concord logo, the fabric looks kinda damaged 🤔

12:07- Morgan Brittany.

Ball Park Hot Dogs-nowadays they don't have whatever it is that makes them"plump"
Greatest Heroes Of The Bible-if only this had led to a cinematic universe..
Lowenbrau-he might also need some antacid after eating that steak
Real People-Sarah should be glad that guy wasn't really a vampire..btw that Hanging By A Thread movie(another disaster film) is definitely not for people who have a fear of heights
Kraft Parkay Margarine-don't have those bowls out around guests..they may think you're crazy if you say they talk
Visine Eye Drops-with Morgan Brittany
Best Foods Mayonnaise-the Big H Burger Sauce a.k.a"we have the Big Mac special sauce at home"
Chevy Chase National Humor Test-winners receive a lifetime supply of painkillers for when they want to imitate all the times he fell down stairs
this commercial block seems to be aimed at the "your breath smells like shit" demographic
