These commercials aired on CBS on October 14th, 1987
1. Sinus Excedrin
2. Pepperidge Farms Distinctive Cookies (I feel like they went a tad overboard with the "folksy northeastern accent" here)
3. Manwich
4. Sprint FONCARD
5. Fisher-Price Medical Kit
6. Ritz Bits (I definitely had this one on a tape as a kid)
7. Del Monte
8. Planters Popcorn
9. CBS Spirit Bumper
10. Suzi Wan Dinner Recipes
11. Louis Rich Turkey Breast
12. Whatzit (The point of the game is to make bad jokes at the expense of your significant other while guessing at overly cryptic game cards. Also the game board seen at 4:38 looks suspiciously like Donkey Kong)
13. Arthritis Pain Formula
14. Denorex
15. Cheese (MUST EAT CHEESE DURING THE GAME. His voice reminds me of Will Ferrell's Harry Caray impression)
16. K-Mart Outerwear Sale (A former K-Mart employee recently posted many cassette tapes of the elevator type muzak and ads that were played in their stores circa the late 80's/early 90's. They're pretty fascinating to listen to. You can check them out here: archive.org/de...)
17. CBS Station ID
18. WNEV News Update
19. Oodles Of Noodles
20. Sunbeam Bread
21. Promo for "The New Newlywed Game"

31. Fisher-Price Micro Explorer Set

36. Promo for "The Oldest Rookie", "Magnum, P.I." and "The Equalizer"
37. CBS Newsbreak
a. John Zaccaro found not guilty in bribery trial
b. Nobel Prize awarded

I've been watching your uploads for a while now. You do an excellent job. All of these viedeos serve as cultural signposts for American Social Life during the 1980s. Not only that, but they are extremely entertaining. Thank you so much for doing this wonderful archiving.

@JepMasta 9 лет назад

More great videos. I love these! Thank you for all you do for us

@SagaSagaVGM 9 лет назад

The thumbnail for this is incredible. Thanks for the link to the K-Mart in-store ads/muzak, I love that kinda stuff.

@bigjohnstud 9 лет назад

A young Will Arnett in the Manwich spot?

@CletusHunnicutt 9 лет назад

+bigjohnstud I second that.

@SeraphisCain 9 лет назад

Funny you mention those K-Mart tapes. I recently heard about them from a NeoGAF thread, and man are they ever entertaining. In much the same way your uploads are entertaining, actually. Thinking about downloading a bunch and setting up a playlist and just relaxing to K-Mart tunes all day. 5/24/92 is my favorite so far, just FYI. Has a really great cover of a song called "Welcome to the Edge" which I discovered after some research was all but ignored over here but HUGE in Japan. Stuff like that is why I'm so glad those tapes were uploaded. So much odd, interesting stuff that would likely never be heard again if not for that guy uploading them.

@jason3fc 9 лет назад

+SeraphisCain I listened to a bunch of them the other day too. Crazy.

@basedGODDDDDDDDDDDDD 9 лет назад

The tape hiss and general audio atmosphere is like a time machine.

@Stevaside 9 лет назад

Planters Popcorn??? don't remember that....I most definitely remember Planter's Cheez Balls though and miss the hell out of them...one of the top 80s foods I dream would come back

@JepMasta 9 лет назад

And remember eating Planters popcorn will make your kids defy gravity. So be sure to securely strap them down :-)

@hopegrimsley3427 4 года назад

You can find Planters Cheez Balls here in Indianapolis.

oodles and noodles was the voice of kitt in knight rider and the guy doing the medaprin commercial narrated the 80's transformers cartoon:)

Ming-Na(Agents of SHIELD) is the Suzi Wan spokesperson

@zachhoran 9 лет назад

Whatzit was and maybe still is a syndicated newspaper puzzle, which is what that board game was based on. Wacky Wordies is a similar type of puzzle that has appeared in Games/WOrld of Puzzles magazines.

@OnTheRocks71 9 лет назад

Oh man, I had that medical kit. Just remembered it now. Thank you.

@jason3fc 9 лет назад

+OnTheRocks I had one too, my son has one now that is a newer version but most of the items are the same. Only the thermometer is digital style now instead of mercury style.

@OnTheRocks71 9 лет назад

+jason3fc That's awesome, and I'm glad toys like that still exist for kids. Makes you wonder how many people were inspired by them as children. I wouldn't be surprised if a generation of doctors had these as kids.

@meaghansee5127 8 лет назад

If that Planters commercial aired today, they'd have to put a disclaimer that the popcorn wouldn't really make you float. Otherwise, some moron would probably try to sue.

@skystarless 9 лет назад

I probably watched these the day they aired. Before I started school, I always watched The Price Is Right with my mom in the mornings. Then she would watch The Young and the Restless and I would have to go play, because we only had one TV. I'm so old.

@Tr0nzoid 8 лет назад

Sign of the times. Popcorn and long distance telephone service were advertised like crazy back then.

@Silvergun_Raven 9 лет назад

I have a question - for anyone who can answer it. Why is it that the commercials from the late 80's-mid 90's look and sound better than the commercials of today? These commercials look and sound more authentic, and full-of-life. It's like music CD's of the 80's sounded more "real", while most albums of today suffer from "loudness wars". Sure, most commercials of today are crossing into the "HD look", but they all just look and feel "lifeless".

@80sCommercialVault 9 лет назад

+Matthew J. Boone Simple answer: probably all of these were shot on 35mm film (or at least Super 16mm) and were in many cases were shot, framed and lit in much the same way that a big budget Hollywood movie would be. I feel like most commercials made today use mid-grade HD cameras that do not approach film quality and also use very flat, lifeless lighting. As an artform or meaningful cultural artifact, IMO, the commercial is dead.

@Silvergun_Raven 9 лет назад

80sCommercialVault That makes sense. Thank you! :)

@JCole78 9 лет назад

+Matthew J. Boone I completely agree. I think it's because today's commercials have no depth or soul, so they don't really put much effort into them.

@JCole78 8 лет назад

+freshin888style yeah and they're usually about prescription drugs.

@Silvergun_Raven 8 лет назад

CNN and Fox News is loaded with commercials on medications. I guess the older folk watch those channels, but it's a bit repetitive.

@krisdavis2686 8 лет назад

i love the back grounds for the products .

@alligorey 9 лет назад

Was that Vicki Lewis from NewsRadio in the Ritz Bits commercial?

@JohnnyUtah15 9 лет назад

+alligorey It sure looks like her. I'm not 100% sure but she looks similar.

@tdrewman 9 лет назад

Phone cards, seems like yesterday you had to pay long distance.

@Vebinz 9 лет назад

+tdrewman You don't pay long distance?

@ZanaB33z49 8 лет назад

+Vebinz Must not have a land line. Verizon is still charging plenty for unlimited long distance.

@Vebinz 8 лет назад

+MsFarzee I know, I have Verizon and their international is even crazier, which is why I use phone cards.

@Tr0nzoid 3 года назад

Now it seems like yesterday that we were choosing a minutes plan with a cellular phone. "Whoa, 400 minutes with 5000 nights and weekends!"

@JohnnyUtah15 9 лет назад

Great compilation of commercial. Recall nearly all of them. The Doan's Pills commercial is one hell a memory for me. I remember taking some because I had some back pain and it did help but about a year later I had numbness along my left arm and leg. Turned out I had a malignant tumor on my spinal cord in the area I had pain. What an ass kicker.

@DanZero77 9 лет назад

Diana Williams in the WNEV clip would soon later join WABC in New York just a few years later.

@vicious-pi3rd 8 лет назад

That Fisher Price doctor kit commercial was adorable. 80's was all about family oriented

@kayandaeddings4803 9 лет назад

I was almost 9 years old when these commercials came out. It takes me back to when I was raised in alameda California.

@berto1169 9 лет назад

Triaminic Expectorant. First time I've seen that bottle in 40 years and I'm having full body shivers all over again. That stuff was nasty.

@brandonleeiacocca6640 8 месяцев назад

Hey...that was Ming Na Wen...

@Clam73 8 лет назад

Whatever happened to superconductivity? It always seemed like that was next big thing back then.

@crowningchristopher8273 7 лет назад

So many food commercials. Makes me hungry!

@jennyn5692 6 лет назад

I had that version of Memory, too.

@JamesWilson-sb9iq 8 лет назад

Mini skirts? Those skirts are pretty long today lol.

@hopegrimsley3427 4 года назад

Oh snap, I had that Fisher-Price Medical Kit. Eggo + 80s = Eleven from Stranger Things. That PediaCare packaging was still used 20+ years later. Wonder how much “The Rookie” has in common with “The Oldest Rookie.” I didn’t know that Bob Dole ran for president before 1996.

@tinamarie86 4 года назад

I didn't know Bob Dole ran for president before 96 either, just like I didn't know that Joe Biden ran for president one other time before 2008. I guess, as the saying goes, the third time's the charm (hopefully).

@Asist0ne 9 лет назад

So much medicine. We're US more sick then or now?

@80sCommercialVault 9 лет назад

+BBOY ASIST It has more to do with the fact that these aired during the Price is Right at 10 in the morning. I assume they always carpeted that show with ads for cold/pain relievers to target the people sick at home in bed.

@DumpsterFire.92 9 лет назад

+Brian Deal Only these days they have to say: "Side effects may include: headaches, stomachaches, bleeding ulcers, abdominal pain.....and for erections lasting more than 4 hours, see a doctor."

@80sCommercialVault 9 лет назад

All of the products here are OTC cold/pain relievers. Serious side effects are usually only found on prescription meds, which could not be advertised on TV until 1997.

@Asist0ne 9 лет назад

+80sCommercialVault ah yes it makes sense now. Thx for that insight.

@dataslul 4 года назад

The Oodles of Noodles narrator was definitely William Daniels.

@jakepeterson5439 9 лет назад

A few of these products don't seem to exist, or at least I've never heard of them. Mediprem? Suzi Wan? Denorex? Oodles of Noodles?

@80sCommercialVault 9 лет назад

Just because you haven't heard of something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Several of these products don't appear to be made anymore or are no longer sold in the US market. Medipren is just a brand of ibuprofen, not sure if it's still made. Denorex is still made and was probably the most popular brand of dandruff shampoo back then. I've posted numerous ads for it in the past.

@grizzlor5340 9 лет назад

+80sCommercialVault so because Jake never heard of them, they never existed....Must be pretty amazing being the center of everything and the ultimate authority on all things 80's.

@ZanaB33z49 8 лет назад

+Jake Peterson Wow...Oodles of Noodles are sold EVERYWHERE food is sold on the east coast even gas stations. Where do you live?

@jakepeterson5439 8 лет назад

MsFarzee Hey there! I'm in the Midwest, Iowa, specifically.

@ZanaB33z49 8 лет назад

Jake Peterson Hmmm...interesting.

@hrtvfan2870 5 лет назад

Not sure how much time passed between when the episode was taped for broadcast and the airdate, but the ads airing on the Price is Right would be from the last broadcast to air before Bob Barker stopped dying his hair; as the next day's show featured Bob with white hair (just during the playing of the Punch-a-Bunch game in that episode; model Janice Pennington grabbed some chalk to update the picture of Barker on the $10,000 bill prop).
