Back in 79 I was 3 and it blows my mind thinking that my parents were probably watching this same New Years Eve show while I was sleeping and now Im watching it 41 years later!
4:54 - There are few things sadder in the entertainment world than when you see someone who is clearly performing their heart out, and the audience is just not responding...
i Love watching them also but i remember more when i watch the 80's TV commercials . i had a friend of mine record the head Bangers ball for me was slightly irritated he didn't pause out the commercials But when watching them later im glad the commercials were left in
It's strange feeling people celebrating a new year that was 41 years ago. Although, I was only 3, at the time. It's amazing too how many of these products fade away over time. I believe VO5 is the only one around still.
Plenty of the products here are still made today including Breck Shampoo, Brioschi, Karastan Rugs, Static Guard, Alka Seltzer, Bayer Aspirin, Wheaties, Coca Cola (obviously), Tylenol and Pepto Bismol.
@@80sCommercialVault The mainstays are obvious, well, because they're still around so I guess I didn't think to mention them. Lol Guess I also had in mind the other commercials you have on your channel and how many products have come and gone over the years (Future, Scrugg for example) A lot of which I've totally forgotten about until I see your videos and it jogs my memory. Love the channel, by the way.
Happy new year 1979!! 😎 I only have audio recordings from commercials that day on a audio cassette (video recorders being a costly investment back then) when somebody held the tape recorder mic to the TV speaker to record the Orange Bowl.
Purina Moist & Chunky-dog was like"Get that mess outta here.." Breck Shampoo-would be kind of distracting if when talking to your significant other,she takes her hat off and does a random hair flip It's Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown-thankfully it's implied he overcame his shyness at the end of The Peanuts Movie Brioschi-sometimesi used to pretend having a stomachache just so i could drink some Foundation For Ileitis & Colitis PSA -at first i thought Charlton was going to say,"...those damned,dirty apes.." @4:57-afterwards Cab probably said"Guess ill never perform for a crowd like that again.." Wheaties-with Caitlyn's long-lost brother Bruce Coca Cola-loved that shot of NYC in the background with the couple Comtrex-lol @ the guy's "WTF" expression Coca Cola ad 2-Saturday nights were much more lively back in the 70s and 80s Pepto Bismol -the food they had must have went past the expiration date
Purina Moist And Chunky- That is one determined dog to reject his food by pushing it away with a lot of force, without a single bit of food spilling out of it. "Happy Birthday Charlie Brown" Promo- It's amazing to see that Charlie Brown is so light weight, that, the crowd of characters carrying him can throw him up in the air like a ball. Bayers Children's Asprin- That medicine bottle looks like a perfume bottle.
In the 1924 pic, the band is posing in front of a sign that says "Gennett (something-or-other." Gennett was a record company that was based in my hometown of Richmond, IN. They primarily worked with jazz musicians. I don't remember when they closed, but the building was recently restored (to a degree) for the public to rent out. The city's farmers market is housed there during the winter months.
As a kid, I used to eat children’s chewable aspirin (grape flavour) like candy. My grandma was a GP and gave us tons of free samples - if my parents had had to buy it I’m sure they would have noticed.
4:53. I recall a short doc on the BLUES BROTHERS on their 20 anniversary DVD. Cab insisted he didn't want to do "Minnie..." the original way; He wanted to go disco with it; Presumably to fit the times. The directors thought is was a bad idea. GOOD CALL.
Wow Cab I did not know you could bore the crowd with that Disco version of Minnie the Moocher holy crap that was bad! Yes - I had to watch the Blues Brothers version right after just to get the "disco" out of my head - you can't even call it disco. Cab is his finest in the BB version by far!
I feel like we've descended into a new level of hell with that Cab Calloway number - he looks way too much like Bubba on Sanford & Son - Fred was fond of his hair though, "fried, dyed, and to the side!"
0:39--I think Breck shampoo is still around, but it is hard to find in my area these days. 1:18--Wow; a couple of obscure Charlie Brown specials! Kind of a pity that some of these only aired a couple of times--and that even the more famous ones are now off network TV. Mercifully, they've been released on DVD. I have the "1970's Volume 2" boxed set which includes this "First Kiss" special. 1:50--I'm not familiar with Brioschi antacid. According to Wikipedia, apparently it is made in Italy and is no longer marketed in America. I wonder if they got in trouble with Alka-Seltzer for using "plop-plop" and "fizz-fizz" in this commercial? 4:23--And speaking of Alka-Seltzer--Here they are, temporarily ditching their iconic jingle for a traditional Christmas song. 6:30--Wow; I remember when Bruce Jenner was the spokesman for Wheaties, long before he/she/they came out as transgender. 7:02 and 11:03--Not the most memorable one, but "Coke Adds Life" is one out of many great jingles used by Coca-Cola over the years. As an added bonus, we get 2 distinctly different versions of it here.
Happy New Year, everybody! I miss those old New Year's Eve shows like they had back then. TV back then was so much more fun to watch.
Back in 79 I was 3 and it blows my mind thinking that my parents were probably watching this same New Years Eve show while I was sleeping and now Im watching it 41 years later!
i was 8 years old, and only remember specific things. watching Tv shows / commercials from the 70's & 80's this is what's Good about You tube.
New Year, old commercials 😜 Happy 2021

i Love watching them also but i remember more when i watch the 80's TV commercials .
i had a friend of mine record the head Bangers ball for me was slightly irritated he didn't pause out the commercials But

By Scrugg I assume you mean Scrunge, which is also still made today: www.amazon.com/Cedar-Multi-Use-Scrunge-Scrub-Sponge/dp/B072846JV6/

Happy New Year 2021 admin and viewers 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yeah most of us who remember the 70's * 80's Long for those days. and hate 2020.
hope things get better.

Multiple ads for antacids during a New Year’s Eve broadcast… Well they say the key to advertising is knowing your market :-)
Happy New Year! 🥂
I hadn't thought of it in years but Breck shampoo was a big deal. There were even Breck Girls! Remember the drawn portraits on the back page of mags.
I know a lot of actresses started as Breck girls.
cindy pruitt You're right! I'm flashing on Kim Bassinger & Cybill Shepard. Weird all that stuff about Hillary Baldwin & Kim pops up.
@@samanthab1923 Yep, I know. I also think Jacklyn Smith was one too. Too many to remember.
Decades later, tv watchers are still asking , who the heck was Rula Lenska?
She was on Coronation Street last year.🙂
@@sparklecanada0112 - And at the time of this, she was a few years removed from co-starring in "Rock Follies."
Happy New Year everybody! 🎉

Cab Calloway got faster as he got older lol
Just turn 4 when 79 hit.
I was 7, I miss the simpler times back then. When Atari was high technology
I was 3.
