4. Promo for "Von Ryan's Express"
5. Ford (The 10% back was a way to lessen the blow from the sky high interest rates that still gripped the economy, which was under recession with the high interest rates used to curb inflation. The interest rate on a loan for a new car in 1981 was around 17%)

28. 9-Lives (11:13 Maybe this was the study about cats watching TV that Robert Mitchum's character brings up in "Scrooged": • Programming for cats )
29. Promo for "The Richard Simmons Show" (Even though the crazy clip here of him being thrown into a refrigerator looks almost like it's from a sitcom, this was for his morning exercise/talk show that ran from 1980-84)

32. ABC Station ID

34. No Place Like Sam's (This was actually part of the restaurant chain Sambo's, who had renamed some of their locations to this moniker earlier in 1981 in an attempt to rebrand the company and move away from a name that many associated with a racial slur. By late 1981 they filed for bankruptcy and by 1982 all but the original location in Santa Barbara, CA closed)
35. Chevrolet 6.2L Diesel Trucks

The rest of the company was sold or liquidated and the company went defunct in 1987)
47. Cheese

A young John Goodman in the milk commercial was epic! I love how these commercials sometimes reveal the early beginnings of future iconic actors/actresses!
Welcome back, 80sCommercialVault! Missed these uploads.
80sCommercialVault is back with a vengeance! I really miss these uploads. Thanks 80sCommercialVault! 😊
I also remember John Moschitta as the voice of Blur from the Transformers Movie (1986). But he’ll always be remembered as the Micro Machines man.
Milk’s The One- The Cow Puppet characters in this commercial look like rejected characters from “The Muppet Show”. 20. Coast- The man in this commercial certainly looks like he’s having the time of his life taking a shower like that. Wrigley’s Doublemint Gum- The man’s ventriloquist dummy at 8:43 looks like nightmare fuel.
Good to have you back, 80sCommercialVault! Hope you had a wonderful vacation, & it's a joy to see these great 80's commercials once more!
That FedEx commercial with the fast-talking guy is a classic but to me he will always be remembered as the Micro Machines man 🙂
Frank Nelson was perfectly cast in that commercial.
Your ability to access so many commercials like this never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for uploading!,
Welcome back Mike. Hope you had a wonderful vacation.
lol that coast commercial is great. Dude is like one step away from eating it.
Welcome back 80sCV, thank you for yet another instant classic 👍🏽😎👍🏽
Welcome back and I hope you had a great vacation.
7 Eleven-those two probably weren't the only ones who used that "portal" Three's Company-the first,and possibly only,time Furley met the Ropers Too Close For Comfort-Plot twist..the boyfriend actually was once known as "the War Chief" for a street gang based out of Coney Island Double Action Calgonite-sounds like this could be the"unobtainium"material in a multi-part GI Joe story arc Hart To Hart-"..then you had better start knowing,because they think YOU are that woman's killer!" The Richard Simmons Show-"I can't fit in there,are you insane?" Replay Gum-it can't rewind time Enhance Shampoo-what was with the horror movie-style"music sting"at the beginning 😆 No Place Like Sam's-guess she was the reason why the chain went bankrupt The Manions Of America-that time Capt.Janeway had another bad holodeck adventure World News Tonight-i think the Scared Straight program was mentioned in that report RCA-with a film clip from Battle Beyond The Stars Mork & Mindy-Godspeed Robin and Jonathan Winters(baby Mearth in the final season) The Greatest American Hero-surprised there was never a "in space" episode
I remember staying up so I could watch that Laverne & Shirley episode. That was a 2-parter. Not sure if that was the 1st or 2nd part. Also, re: Greatest American Hero, Mike Post was the best tv theme song writer
Welcome back! With WABC and the 4:30 Movie! I love it already! The Richard Simmons Show would be replaced in the 9am time slot by WABC's own The Morning Show in 1983, which went national 6 years later.
Welcome back! Hope the vacation was awesome and refreshing. I appreciate all you do!
17:16 - The way this guy reacts to his wife touching the remote makes me think there’s a lot of counseling in this relationship’s future.
Welcome back from vacation! Incredible set, as always!
Good to have you back!!
Welcome Back 😊
0:40 - So, this kid went beyond apple polishing to yogurt offering?
7:30 - Um…I think his morning routine contains more than a fresh shower if this is how he acts…
Welcome back! 😊
You are doing the Lord's work. Thank you.
