Wow 1986 vintage now, That's crazy to me. LOL Time flies. We should be able to live longer or get a do over because I've just figured out the meaning of life.
In the 1980s ads focused on food, candy, soda or beauty products with a few headache or cold remedies occasionally thrown in. Nowadays a majority of the commercials focus on how sick you are, just like how sick society is now. If anyone builds a time machine to go back to the 80s and wouldn’t mind a passenger, I’m ready to go!
I was sixteen years old at the time and obsessed with Miami Vice and Don Johnson. Elizabeth Taylor was beautiful. Always loved the Bob Hope specials growing up. The eighties really was this cool.
In 1986 I was in grade 2. I was visiting my Grandfather in White Rock for the summer and we were going to go to Expo 86. But my mom forced my dad to bring me and my sister home so she could have her visitation weekend instead...She kept us for 2 hours then drove us home. :(
That's George Newbern in the rugby shirt for the Twix commercial. He was in a lot of movies but I liked him best as Danny in Friends. He was the new guy in the apartment building that Rachel and Monica fogged in the dark basement because they thought he was a serial killer.
We moved to Germany in 1988, and as AFN does not have commercials and I was really young at the time, these were among the last 80s commercials that I remember. Interesting blast from the past!
I remember my 1st pair of Jordache jeans. Those things were not made for curvy women...lol. but I csn say I had a pair of Jordache jeans I was considered a cool kid with those jeans..😂😂😂.
@@75aces97 Jake Holmes is fascinating guy. Before becoming a super successful jingle singer, he was a 60s folk/rock singer in Greenwich Village who wrote a tune called "Dazed and Confused." Led Zeppelin ripped off his song and came out with their own "Dazed and Confused."
@@brentmann2988 Wow, that was him? I'd remembered reading about Dazed, but forgot the details. Jimmy Page has been involved in so much musical malfeasance that I forgot whom all he ripped off, or was accused of ripping off. Anyway, I believe this Holmes fellow sang (and wrote?) Jingles for Reese's Pieces and Sure deodorant ("Raise your hand if you're Sure"). I looked him up and he wrote/performed "I'm a Pepper." This guy was all over 1980s TV and I didn't even know it.
@@75aces97 "musical malfeasance" is the perfect way to describe some of Jimmy Page's antics. Yes, "raise your hand if you're sure" is one of Jake Holmes's best jingles. Here is a link to him singing live, where you can really hear the distinctive voice that was in all of his commercial work: ua-cam.com/video/eLslfqu0DGw/v-deo.html
I was a wittle kid back in '86. But I do remember my mother watching Its A Living and my grandmother and I would watch Highway to Heaven. I was 4 in '86 and just turned 27 in July of this year 😁...lol

Just looking at a woman without her permission is sexual harrasment, unless she's obese which in that case if you dont look at her you're fat phobic. Either way you're bad!
I found the first Hater! Does it upset you to read how people loved the 1980s? How sad for you that people would rather go back or just live in the 80s rather than live in the insane zoo of today.
I like how 85% of these commercials are a song or jingle of some kind
1986. I was 21 and gonna live forever. What a different time, little did We know what was coming.
I’ll say! .. now look at us 😞

A year out of college and broke af lol. Those 80s color palettes 🤣 Thanks for the memories.
The 80’s had great commercials
I think that MTV influence had a lot to do with advertising ideas

As a native 'burger who loves retro commercials - feels like I hit the jackpot.
I love 1986 ! Especially these cool ads.
That Twix jingle has already been going through my head for the past 35 years.....
I was born in 1987, but I #Love these commercials!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I always love seeing computers in these commercials. They had less power than your smartphone does today.
Like watching War Games. That computer WAS the shit!. Today. It's just Shit. Lol. Giant floppy drives, phone modem. But that was awesome Then
Anybody else have a sudden hankering for stuffing?
Haha
Yesss
Yup!
I was 3 but I remember stove top in a canister and slice soda
Is it just me or were the women more classy/attractive back then?
What a great set of commercials! Pete Rose on a Nestle Crunch commercial! Roseanne Barr on a Pizza Hut commercial! Awesome! Thanks!
