Welcome to Remember These Ads? - A retro TV commercial channel.
I am a Generation Xer ad guy looking to recapture and archive a bit of my youth. On this channel, I collect, curate, clean up and publish collections of old commercials from the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's. These are the retro television commercials all Baby Boomers, Gen Xers and Millennials will remember fondly.
I cover all aspects of live in the 70s, 80s and 90s here, but you'll notice a particular focus on the toys, restaurants, computers, games and stores of the period.
I will be posting new commercial collections twice a week (Saturday and Sunday morning), plus a few bonuses here and there, so if you enjoy this little bit of nostalgia, be sure to subscribe.
Got an idea for a new ad collection or have a tape of old videos you'd like to donate to the collection? Please email me at remembertheseads@gmail.com.

I was a young mother in the seventies and things were so much easier and simpler. Much cheaper too. Family's spent time together and we didn't have woke people trying to cancel Christmas or saying Merry Christmas. I wish we could have those days back. I no longer recognize this country anymore and can say it's gotten worse not better. Glad I don't have much longer on this world. Hate seeing it go to communism but that's whats happening.
Lawyers and drugs and of course politics is all we see on tv now. I miss Santa and his. Shaver k mart radio shack sears god love us life was good before political correctness and the welfare state swept in like a hurricane we will never clean up after
Do you know how many little league post game discussions were had at a pizza hut in the 80s? How many debates over Nintendo vs Atari. How we could not wait to see Return of the Jedi.
I want to go back and do it all over ...I am telling you the 70’s and 80’s were my decades and they were the best years of my life. Those decades were quite possibly the last best decades in America. One has to understand that America was absolutely a different place back then. It was still a treat then to get 25 cents from mom and walk uptown to the gas station to get a Coca-Cola or Pepsi or to the ice cream shop and get a CMP ice cream. We truly did not lock our doors and stayed out till after dark with our bikes and on Halloween we all went trick-or-treating without our parents at night in the cold and it was great fun.. In the summer we played outside all day and all night. I remember wonderful 4th of July celebrations going on picnics and then mom took us to the ball park and we laid on blankets to watch the fireworks. And of course Christmas and even though it was tuff for my mom raising us she always made sure we had a great holiday . Even Easter was special in America back then... as we got older we started to go see the movies and we really did have the best movies. We had real holidays were we all got together and enjoyed each other’s company. We ate dinner every night together and talked not shouted at each other. We had great stores that are all but gone now in 2024 and great movie theaters and of course the MALLS! It was not the 80’s without a Mall. My very first few jobs were at the mall. First Macdonald’s and then The Gap!. Yes sir those days were GREAT! and we were very lucky to have lived them .... today I don’t even see kids outside and everyone is in fear for safety from crazy people.... I don’t recognize America now..God Bless us all ! And now for that first job at Macdonald’s, it was great ! We had McDLT’s, fried apple pies. (What a huge mistake McDonald’s made discontinuing them) real fried chicken strips, fresh made pancakes and biscuits and not to forget the holiday coupon books for five dollars and the food was HOT and tasty for a good price, in fact you could get a cheeseburger, fries and a drink for less then a dollar. but today (2024) , it’s sad and a joke, kids standing around doing nothing but reading iPhones, floors filthy, food is at best warm and nobody cares, not even Macdonald’s, because I have called them many times but the kids from the last generation are running these companies and they just don’t care….everything seems to have gone to hell now. 😒
Some of my favorite commercials from the time are the ones with hand drawn animation because it's not done anymore. I like the coke commercials with the cgi Polar bears and the one with the Santa trucks.
How many episodes of Dino-Riders did they win by knocking the brain control thing off the T-Rex? Seriously, you'd think with the endless tech someone could just say, "Chin Strap?"
Christmas 1995, a day I will always cherish in my memory. Me, my uncle Richard, and my former girlfriend Eva Goodwin, who is my ex-girlfriend, were drinking booze at my parents house in Powdersville, SC. After several of hours of consuming alcohol and having a great time at the Christmas party my uncle Richard and Eva (ex-girlfriend) were both drunk and they had begun dancing together. They were dancing together as if they were a couple (dirty dancing).Their drunk dancing was very entertaining to watch and the dancing was recorded on a VHS camcorder. I didn't receive the VHS tape of the Christmas party. Christmas 1995 was good times, that's for sure.
John Sefcik told me he and Gary Aprahamian would go to Dunkin Donuts on Woodhaven Blvd st closing to ask for left overs, then wash them down with Jack Daniels and Nestles Quick
