Retro Commercials - Vol 362 - 1985 Never Looked So Good! 

1985 - the year Breakfast Club came out, and MTV was in overdrive. Great year. Enjoy!

I was 20 in 1985, I can’t believe it’s been 35 yrs ago.Time flys by so fast, I loved the 80’s❤️

The 80s are the absolute best!! So many great memories from my childhood!!

12 yr old me would never believe in 1985 that 35 years later, I’d be watching a bunch of the SAME commercials on a screen 1/50 the size of our old TV in my bathroom...

Miss the 80s soooo much. Wish I could go back.

Seeing Laura Brannigan in the Sparkomatic commercial, RIP Laura, one of the greatest singers of the 80’s.

I'm still driving my 1986 IROC wearing my 501 blue jeans...Long live the 80's

I wish I could go to sleep on December 31, 1989 and wake up on January 1, 1980. Just live it on a loop. 1985 was my favorite year.

1985, I was 11 years old. I'm 45 now. Time flies indeed.

1985: 7th and 8th Grade. A lifetime ago! Thanks for the time trip! 😊

The 80s were the best! Weird, wild & wacky, but so much fun! (Esp the clothes lol)

This is what I remember from '85: * Moonlighting *Tears For Fears * New Coke * that TWA hijacking * Live Aid * Back to the Future * Delta airlines crash at DFW (because I lived there) * Commando * The Goonies * The Jewel of the Nile * Rambo II * Growing Pains Just what I can think of, when I remember that year.

What i love about 80's commercials is that almost all of them had a jingle love it!!

1985 gave us some incredible music. I still listen to new wave.

85 was the greatest year of the decade. Especially the summer

I used to LOVE the 501 Blues Commercials as a kid..my God I miss 1985!

I want MTV back the way it was, but even if it went back to the actual music, it's not what it used to be.

Dude, the soundtrack to Vision Quest was (is) killer! Some Dio, Red Ryder, and Journey. I turned 17 in 1985, such a freakin' good time to be alive.

Proud to be born in 1985 haha, man that year seems like the pinnacle of the 80's!

This is like a time machine. Captures details of everyday life in the '80s that we'd forgotten. Great video, thanks!

I was 19 and living in Miami, Florida. The USA was a better country back then. Glad I lived it!

When people used to dress up to go to Red Lobster.

There will never be a greater decade than the 80s

1985's MTV broadcasted David Bowie, The Police, Pat Benatar, Lionel Ritchie, Cindy Lauper and many greats. 2020's MTV= Bleeeeeh.

Kung fu theater was the shit and who didn't want an I.R.O.C back in they day

Just think another 35 years we'll be celebrating... Oh wait never mind.

The San Junipero button can't come fast enough. I have physically painful nostalgia for my 80s childhood.

Lucky to have vids like this. Snapshot of many childhoods. Closest we can get to going back.

I was 8 in 1980, and these sure do bring back many memories. The 80s wasn't a great time as a whole for me, but do have fond memories of some of it. I remember the Pamprin and Accutrim commercials, and I've never seen Vision Quest. Looks like me evening is planned! Seems like a lifetime ago, but then it seems like only yesterday. Time sure flies!!

Jason Alexander in the second Levi's 501 blues commercial.

I was 18 then burning the candle on both ends. Oh what a time to be alive.

That sparkomatic commercial was EPIC!

"Radio 1990" must have sounded so futuristic in '85!

85 baby here and I never knew how much I needed this ❤️🌞 love this content 🙏🏻

I loved the horror look at 9.54 when the appetite suppressant ran out 😁

1985? I had just gotten out of the Army. Thanks for the memories.

I was 18 in 1985. I must have been in a fog because I only remember about 40% of these commercials!! Loved those Iroc Camaros though, a friend and I took one for a test drive and took it to the local cruising spot! 😂😂😂

I still love going to red lobster for their cheddar bay biscuts.

When MTV came out, I think I could have lost my whole summer sitting in front of the TV watching, until my mother kicked me out of the house to enjoy the summer.

I'm watching this on my 1983 tv eating breakfast. Your videos are some of the best to use

Kung Fu Theatre, Headbanger's Ball, and Saturday morning cartoons that was the 80s for me and my friends

I miss the original MTV. When they actually played music 24/7.

Wow so amazingly awesome to watch it , I was 10 years old in 1985 that’s an amazing year of the legendary 80’s thank you I absolutely love to watch it

I want my MTV 🎸

God how I miss the 80s life was so much simpler.

I am still driving my ‘85 Mercedes 200E ! Great year it was!

I was born in 85 I vaguely remember 89 but glad to be an 80s baby nothing can take that away from me

DAMMMM That IROC Looks Good🔥🔥

10:32 the spirit of the 70s was still alive -- a big mirror on the headboard of your bed

Nice to see a collection of commercials from my birth year, 1985 looks so awesome :)

I turned 18 in 1980 which means I was lucky enough to be in my prime throughout the entire decade. Lol. I can remember what I was doing and what I wore in each year but once the 90’s arrived and I had kids my memory lasted 24 hours. I think everyone thinks the decade they were in their 20’s was the best one ever but I’m sorry- the 80’s were fricking awesome. There was still a certain innocence throughout the decade even though there was a certain amount of debauchery going on. That’s all I say about that. Lol. I danced more in those 10 years than all of the rest of my years out together. MTV was always on because there was always something new being played. There was so many groups and solo singers that were cranking out some of the best rock ever made that you never wanted to turn it off because you didn’t want to miss anything. Getting ready to hit a club in the 80’s was almost as much fun as actually going out, too. The clothes might look ridiculous now but we looked hot as hell and walking into a club made you feel like you were on a red carpet. The hair was the highest, the perfume was insane with scents that screamed sex - Georgio, Poison, Givenchy and so many other ones that announced your arrival before anyone even saw you. 😁. I’d have to take a shower even if it was 4 am or I knew I’d wake up reeking of cigarette smoke even though I didn’t smoke, perfume and booze and my hair would be hard as a rock from all of the shit I sprayed on it. Those 10 years were the best I’ve had.

4:33 "When you have to be your best, but that HERPES just won't rest .....Campho Phenique!" ah, the denial in the 80's

Behold: 1985---the pinnacle of humanity!

Those Dave’s archives intro synth beats were so good I was about to get down!

Water beds. Had a run during 80's.

All those jingles! I’ve forgotten most of them until they popped up, then I was singing along automatically, lol!

One of the best parts is the women didn't have tattoos.

My dad got his Ram Charger from Gulf Coast Dodge in 86, and I believe it was 9,988USD. Madness.

Lot's of good memories.totally radical. 😉

who tf is taking a 16 hour appetite suppressant tho good lord

Gorgeous!

I like to watch these and pretend that I am young again, that my brother is still alive and my mother doesn't have dementia. ❤

That pamprin commercial tho 😂

Amazing the sets and budget of commercials back then.

Wish I could go back to 1985.

A good voice-over find... the legendary Karl Weber for Red Lobster at the 5:33 mark. He dialed it back a bit from his usual style and it works very well.

“Low 8.8% interest rates!” Lol

Yay! I love that Madonna is in this and I actually have seen Vision Quest and its pretty good for what I remember

1985 was the pinnacle year of the 80s

I watched all the Friday 13th retro Movies through the lock down. Miss my walkman💔

I love all your videos and dedication to this nostalgic era.

Brings back memories

The time where commercials were as entertaining as the content between the commercials.

Thnx by putting MTV, Red Lobster and Big Sur Waterbeds on the map.

Jr high 1985. The best times. Can we go back please???!

I want a Sparkomatic stereo system that just plays ‘80’s music👍🏻😁

Guess jeans, Shoulder pads, Blue eyeliner and eyeshadow, Leg Warmers, Miami vice, Top Gun, (yaay cant wait for the sequel sometime this year)....We need Doc Brown and Marty to take us....Back to the 80's.. please?

Thank you, bought both tears and smiles watching this...

Sharp's focus on "portable" tech was spot on.

Classier times definitely

nothing but chills reminding me of a life I wasted. Thanks.

Me: pays for premium so I don't have to watch commercials Also me: watches old commercials on RU-vid.

Such a different world 🌍 1980s

Nothing beats the aesthetics of the 80's!

One of my favourite years. I was 10 years old.

The 80s were the best

I love watching these

Amazing. I don't remember any of these commercials except Kung Fu theater

Take Us BACK to good simple times!!

That Camaro ad is just plain amazing.

1985 was a pivotal year for me - left LA for a job that ended up sticking me in Indianapolis (or as I called it “Indiana-no-place”) before moving on to NYC in ‘86 and all I had was MTV, “Back to the Future” and “Breakfast Club” to distract me from the emptiness of the Middle of the Country when you weren’t born there...

Me Today: Skip all commercials on web and TV. Me Today: Watch 15 min of 80s commercials. Ah the nostalgia!

I love this! Thx 😃

I was 15.. best year of my life

George Costanza in the Levi 501 Blues commercial!

I want that red vcr from sharp. Looks money 🤙

David Byerly got a new IROC when he turned 16 and he didn't even pretend to make an effort in French class, or even arrive on time after lunch!

@7:35 during the 501 Blues commercial you can a young Jason Alexander before he gained fame on Seinfeld. He had curly hair.

Looks like your Retro Commercials has turned into a RU-vid series. Also, your new ending sequence looks great too as well. Keep it up Dave!

Who knew on May 14, 2020, at 49 years old I would be watching all these commercials. If someone said Jon at 49 you would be watching retro commercials. Fuck who knew!
