OMG! For the past few hours I’ve been binging on 1970s commercials. 😂

[@joecarroll3371]

I remember watching Circus Of The Stars all throughout the 80s at my Grandma's house.

[@sonicmoremusic1]

Can I just go back to the 70s please!

[@SoUtHMeMpHis]

On your way drop me off in the 80s...and I don't need a round trip ticket.

[@sonicmoremusic1]

@@SoUtHMeMpHis Will do!

[@MrJayRoc78]

Thanks to the Sony Betamax I won’t miss the new episodes of my favorite shows!!

[@timothysprengeler4071]

3:24--I still can't get over the size of those first-generation VCR's. Everything electronic seems to have shrunk since it first came out.

[@christineferreira2181]

I had an aunt who had a Betamax but only her

10:17 - "Join your favorite celebrities as they risk life and limb..." Shows someone dancing with a monkey in a tutu...

[@TTrigg]

CBS Special Presentation bumper-gets me every time..it wouldnt hurt for them to bring it back once in a while for holiday programming
Young & Foolish-wonder if any of them mentioned being arrested for something..
Flying High-Disco love..was there any other kind?

[@timothysprengeler4071]

1:53--"It takes a licking and keeps on ticking." That was certainly one of the most iconic advertising slogans of the day!
10:26--Wow; i remember that K Mart Christmas jingle very well! Kind of sad to see them going the way of the passenger pigeon. Sure wish they still had the 1,300 stores promoted in this commercial.

[@christineferreira2181]

Lots of Timex commercials here. I now want to buy a watch 😊

[@jamesmc75]

The kid in the Polaroid commercial is the kid from "Over the Top"

[@rylar717]

The gas tank talks like Rodney and he plays two parts lol

[@1963Iota]

2:55
"Flying High"....ain't nothing like a little Disco Love 😆

[@95keat]

The battery is in the film pack
Ok, that is actually really clever

[@tadool5352]

I remember the beta max commercial & I got that very same timer as my first watch too-I think I got the idea to ask for it from this commercial!😀

[@bryanbear4727]

This is awesome tv commercial from the 70s

[@manterprise]

Thank you!

[@DanZero77]

Once again those Rifftrax guys were right on - "CBS must be trying its all crappy special strategy!"
As for sheriff Buford Pusser, he's no fan of "Disco Love!"

[@dawnjensen5615]

Thank you for this.

[@kimalbright7539]

When the line "finding love with disco love" had me laughing so hard.

[@typorter-pp6lh]

1:30 Ed Begley Jr.?

[@happyplaces683]

Definitely...! Before he became famous in the NBC hit drama"St Elsewhere."

[@sirlordford]
