My mom was a college student/stay-at-Mom in the early 80s and also avidly watched ABC Daytime soap operas, they super popular TV back then, anyway I love seeing the ads that aired during the daytime soaps for all the stuff I recall having around the house at that time! She got suckered into purchasing so much of the crap! ( Diet Pepsi, Dexatrim, One A Day vitamin) She is still such so susceptible to advertising to this day!
I was 12 when this recorded and General Hospital was one of my Favorites, all us kids were into it. Why? Because I was an Air Force Brat stationed in Panama and there was really nothing else to watch. There were only 4 TV stations and 1 was ran by the Military, Channel 8 AFRTS. We were 3 months behind in GH, but this was Golden Years for the show, enjoyed watching it with my sister, mother and friends. I love the Ice Prince Story Line, cant get any better.
My dad taped Annie off of the TV for me when I was little. I wore that thing out! I'll make sure to drink my Ramblin' root beer before I put on my Tickle anti-perspirant! Lots of good jingles in this one. The 2 SPF suntan oil made me LOL.
Another puzzling thing: at the end he says good night and good eating, I assume spoofing good night and good luck, but that was a Edward r Murrow quote, not Cronkite
Whoa! What a pleasant surprise to see Walter LeCat again after all these years! I actually remember seeing those 9-Lives commercials on TV as a kid. Thanks for posting this one.
That Old Spice commercial reminds me of my dad, every fathers day when I was growing up since I couldn't buy a present on my own of course, My mom would buy me to give him, either Old Spice or Brut for Father's Day. Whenever I smell it, it reminds me of him
Closing with the GH ending song made me so nostalgic for the times I rushed home from school to watch it! The 80’s were so good to me-tanning in the sun, chili filled hot dogs, and Doritos crispy lights!! Life was good!
Yes excellent association to the subconscious. Cigarettes Also Used this association toward women with slim cigs like Virginia Slims and ads like keep your figure have a cigarette lol.
I can remember most of these back in the day. But I don't recall a *blue* can of Dr. Pepper (Sugar Free, of course). Apparently, it didn't last long, which is why we wouldn't see such blue cans these days.
Funny you say the Diet Pepsi looks like the most 80s commercial you've ever posted. I feel that way about the Tickle commercial. It looks like a music video. Also very high fashion. I was surprised that it was for a deodorant.
It was considerably more stylistic than the previous tickle commercials, which mostly consisted of women in towels suggestively stroking the ball and giggling like morons
This was only when it used Saccharin. They switched the artificial sweetener to aspartame in 1983. The actual warning back then read: "Use of this product may be hazardous to your health. This product contains saccharin which has been determined to cause cancer in laboratory animals." Edit: I should append this to say that the concerns over Saccharin during this period were unfounded, as the tumors that it caused in rats was something unique to rodents that does not occur when ingested by primates. The warning labels about Saccharin were removed in 2000 after this came to light.
Ads on WABC! They're the best, and CRAZY EDDIE! Good times. It was The People's Court at 4:30 (as well as a longer Eyewitness News thereafter) that stopped the 13-year run of "The 4:30 Movie" (my avatar) in 1981 on WABC. More information at www.dvddrive-in.com/TV%20Guide/430movielogo.htm
So the drive to become successful is so you can afford the more expensive shampoo? Wow...and here I thought it was so you can buy blow. This was the 80s. Lol
I guess I'm one of the few kids from that time that actually liked the cheese hot dogs lol...didn't they have ones with chili too?..maybe I'm remembering that wrong
That 9 Lives ad...wow. I remembered it, but not as a 9 Lives ad; I normally associated 9 Lives with Morris the Cat. I got the T-shirt! Bufferin (LOL @ your comment) I sorta remember Ramblin' Root Beer, but we were pretty exclusive with A&W in those days. Diet Pepsi...that ad is 80s GOLD. That suntan lotion ad...I mean, WOW. I really thought it was an oversized cell phone at first. I completely remember that Annie ad. I had no idea about the Broadway origins, or even the old cartoon strip. The songs were pretty good though!
Wow...I am shocked that you didn't know "Annie" originated from a comic strip and then a run on Broadway. I thought ppl knew that about that story. I remember reading the "Little Orphan Annie" comic strip as a kid it ran for decades it seems.
+Yoda Pagoda Well, in '82 I was only seven I thought you meant that as an adult! I read the paper a lot as a kid and I remember seeing the ads and reviews for the movie "Annie" in the paper it was one of those big deal movies for a lot of 80s kids.
Coming up next -- our new spin-off of General Hospital -- Specific Hospital. (Oh man I can hear people moaning already)😉 it's almost as bad as my spin-off idea for The Closer... I called it The Farther.
Growing up, my grandma use to drink this, but then switched to Diet Coke. I remember she let me try it, and I was like Yuck!! Never liked diet soda anyway 😝

Whoa! 80s Soap opera end credits really give me the feels! It just transports me back to those days...
"...25% more natural cheese than government standards require".
Welp...I'm sold.
On June 18, 1982, I was 11 days old. I wonder if my parents watched some of these same commercials while vainly trying to get me to take a nap. LOL
My mom was a college student/stay-at-Mom in the early 80s and also avidly watched ABC Daytime soap operas, they super popular TV back then, anyway I love seeing the ads that aired during the daytime soaps for all the stuff I recall having around the house at that time!

I graduatated in 1982!! These sure bring back memories. And they sure make me feel old!!
The cat puppet should have been named Walter Croncat.
Ha!
Another puzzling thing: at the end he says good night and good eating, I assume spoofing good night and good luck, but that was a Edward r Murrow quote, not Cronkite
I think that's Marg Helgenberger from CSI in the Daytime Dilemma segment. Her IMDB says she was on Ryan's Hope during that time.
Grey Blackwell I think you’re right!
Whoa! What a pleasant surprise to see Walter LeCat again after all these years! I actually remember seeing those 9-Lives commercials on TV as a kid. Thanks for posting this one.
Used to drink Ramblin' Root Beer all the time! It was big in the northeast.
I once had a rootbeer float from Carvel made with Ramblin' Rootbeer. It was probably one of the best things I ever tasted...
That Old Spice commercial reminds me of my dad, every fathers day when I was growing up since I couldn't buy a present on my own of course, My mom would buy me to give him, either Old Spice or Brut for Father's Day. Whenever I smell it, it reminds me of him
i want early-80's dexatrim formulation, that shit actually worked (because it was speed, lol)
Ephedra hatin' FDA
I miss dexatrim.
My Dad took me to see Annie in the theater. Really brings back memories!
I remember seeing it in the theater on a Saturday with my friends Maria, and Jennifer. Jennifer's dad took us. God I miss the good ol days.
Mary Cadorette from "Three's a Crowd" on that Sugar free Dr Pepper commercial
man I have not seen that cool looking sugar free dr pepper can in forever and rambling root beer either childhood memories indeed.
Closing with the GH ending song made me so nostalgic for the times I rushed home from school to watch it! The 80’s were so good to me-tanning in the sun, chili filled hot dogs, and Doritos crispy lights!! Life was good!
OMG, I want one of those Diet Pepsi cans! Nothing screams '80s' like that Diet Pepsi can ;)
Loved my Barbie Fashions back in the day lol xo
I miss you Crazy Eddie... your prices were truly INSANE.
That Diet Pepsi advert is fantastic!
Yes excellent association to the subconscious. Cigarettes Also Used this association toward women with slim cigs like Virginia Slims and ads like keep your figure have a cigarette lol.
I can remember most of these back in the day. But I don't recall a *blue* can of Dr. Pepper (Sugar Free, of course). Apparently, it didn't last long, which is why we wouldn't see such blue cans these days.
Thanks..I'm loving this. Even the humming from the videos brings me back to my childhood.
Ramblin Root Beer! I haven' thought about that in years. They were around well into the late 80s, we sold it in my grandparent's bar.
Ramblin' Root Beer. Never heard of it.
DUDE! How old ARE you?🤔
I'm 50's ish myself...
The kid on the cheese hot dog commercial was Benji Gregory from ALF
Girl in the wool lite commercial was in Ray Parker Jr's, Ghostbusters video.
wow thanks for posting on the same date it was released
Coco butter and glycerin.
Ahh, the 1980s. When soap contained half of an explosive (nitroglycerin).
Tone still contains glycerin (and a lot of other soaps still do too).
@Rolling Withthepunches ...jokes don't land well on you, do they?

I'm shook. 2 SPF tanning lotion. "Lets in tanning rays and blocks burning rays!" Yyyyyeah, that's how the UV spectrum works.
1:45 "I love to smell my Daddy..." So freakin' awkward. Then the mom says it and it only makes it worse.
I think the girl said "I love the smell of my daddy". But I dont think that's any better either
In 1982 several fathers were sniffed to death .
I remember back in the 70's diet Pepsi had a warning label that said, "Warning, causes cancer in laboratory rats"
This was only when it used Saccharin. They switched the artificial sweetener to aspartame in 1983. The actual warning back then read:
"Use of this product may be hazardous to your health. This product contains saccharin which has been determined to cause cancer in laboratory animals."

lol i remember ramblin rootbeer
I've never seen that Sugar Free Dr Pepper before! The predecessor to Diet DP I assume.
I agree with the woman in the Suave ad. I would rather spend a few dollars on shampoo then on high dollar ones anyday!
As long as it's sulfate and silicone free the price doesn't matter 👍👌🏻
So the drive to become successful is so you can afford the more expensive shampoo? Wow...and here I thought it was so you can buy blow. This was the 80s. Lol
The Crazy Eddie spot must have been one of the more sedate commercials produced for that chain.
Nowhere near the stuff you'd see about 2-3 years later, I guarantee! I grew up with the man.
I preferred the federated group's 'Fred Rated"played by shadoe Stevens
I always said that Fred Rated was the west coast's answer to Crazy Eddie, heck, Fred even spoofed on Crazy Eddie in one of his commercials!
I was so young when I saw Annie in 1983, I thought the first song was "hard nuff life."
I saw the Musical on Broadway in 1978 with Shelley Bruce as Annie for my 6th grade senior trip...
Lol remember Crazy Eddie 😂. I kind of miss life when it was like this.
@3:17 "DARN BUGS!" 😂😂
4:49. wow now I see how well lana del ray has aged over the past 35 years.
RIP Ann Reinking 71 😔
I guess I'm one of the few kids from that time that actually liked the cheese hot dogs lol...didn't they have ones with chili too?..maybe I'm remembering that wrong
Toni Boyer, me too. And Hormel made the chili one, “Frank N Stuff”. Those were great days.
@@markpapenfuss1111 ah ok lol. I think is be happy if the cheesy ones made a comeback
6:21 I don’t remember Doritos crispy lights from the 80’s. Like the white bag packaging
Interesting, I had no idea that Barq's used to be it's own separate brand or that Coke had it's own root beer.
They made it so they had their own brand of root beer on fountain machines with only Coke products, similar to what they did with Mr. Pibb.
ah, the good old 80s, when most of the country wasn't fat. and people actually talked to each other.
+m patrick Right! And do be careful if you try to change that by greeting a stranger. You're likely to be charged with assault.
5:15 Suitcase Pickup Fail XD
LOL
That 9 Lives ad...wow. I remembered it, but not as a 9 Lives ad; I normally associated 9 Lives with Morris the Cat. I got the T-shirt!
Bufferin (LOL @ your comment)

Diet Pepsi...that ad is 80s GOLD.

Burgess Meredith doing the Annie voice-over?
Sugar-Free Dr Pepper was actually really good.
I'm going to get a bunch of Diet Pepsi so I can have a body like the women in that commercial
aw yea
9:22 "Now you see it, now you don't"
Sorry, all I can see is a very nice bottom.
Ahh, the 1980s, when flat chests and butts were the thing.
Coming up next -- our new spin-off of General Hospital -- Specific Hospital. (Oh man I can hear people moaning already)😉 it's almost as bad as my spin-off idea for The Closer... I called it The Farther.
It's amazing how the same company juggernauts rule the shelves.
Why on earth would they make a sugar free dr pepper?
Why does diet soda exist? Why can't diabetic people just consume as much sugar as they want?
I mispoke. Why would they make sugar free dr pepper in blue cans? lol
The can color was changed to an inverted color scheme later on in the decade (white can with red text) when the name was changed to Diet Dr. Pepper.
awesome
Growing up, my grandma use to drink this, but then switched to Diet Coke. I remember she let me try it, and I was like Yuck!! Never liked diet soda anyway 😝
4:47 Is That A 57' Bel Air?
All beautiful girls back then... Today people on commercials look hybrid, no beauty, no charisma. Zero sex appeal.
