80's Commercials Vol. 11

Ойын-сауық

A bunch of commercials that aired on local ABC affiliate KGO on October 29th, 1989.
Commercials for:
1. Nabisco Shredded Wheat (After this and the commercial in Vol. 1, I'm convinced the Nabisco ad people were on acid throughout the 80's)
2. Wendy's (With Dave Thomas! RIP Big Guy!)
3. Promo for "Who's The Boss" (:In Tony Danza voice: "Angela!") and "The Wonder Years" (Kind of a strange joke to use for a commercial)
4. Wrigley's Gum (Share a little piece of America!)
5. Subaru Legacy (Love the cartoon sound effects)
6. Anti-Drug PSA (I love the veiled suggestion that marijuana causes permanent brain damage)
7. Promo for "The Real Ghostbusters Halloween Special" (It's gonna be fun, fun FUN!)
8. Promo for "Doogie Howser M.D." and "Anything But Love" (Richard Lewis had a sitcom? With Jamie Lee Curtis?)
9. Bounty Candy Bar (The dark chocolate commercial gets an African-American model, naturally)
10. Luvs Diapers
11. Little Lost and Founds (Who the hell wants an orphaned stuffed animal that cries constantly? Is this the start of the Emo fad?)
12. Toys "R" Us (Awesome!)
13. Promo for "The Final Days" (Nixon TV movie FTW!)
14. Toys "R" Us (Is it my imagination or are a few of the kids here British or Semi-Canadian?)
15. Downy Fabric Softener
16. Hasbro Toys/Downy "Night Before Christmas" sweepstakes
17. "Bambi" on Videocassette (With $3 back with the purchase of Crest Toothpaste!)
18. Matchbox Superfast (Which will win, Slicks or Knobbies?!?)
19. Promo for "Full House" and "Family Matters" (Who would've thought those Olsen twins would be creepier as adults?)
20. Naturalizer Shoes (Sounds like dialog from the 1940's!)
21. Volvo (They're ugly but safe!)
22. Mita Copiers (One of the strangest commercials I've ever seen)
23. The Explorer Home Computer (I immediately retract my last statement)

    Ah, Shredded Wheat, one of a few cereals that tasted just like the box it came in. I really miss Wendy's. There's a food place in Australia with the same name, but all they sell is ice cream and hot dogs. Can't help recalling Dave Barry's rants about spending perfectly good US dollars at Toys-backwards-R-Us.

    I grew up in California, too (Southern and Northern) and I vaguely remember there being a Showbiz Pizza...I think it was in San Diego where my grandparents lived, so I only went there once or twice when I visited them. However, I could be wrong. I've forgotten all about Showbiz Pizza until now. Yikes. Love your channel, btw. It's relaxing, just to let em play...so familiar like a warm blanket!

    1. That guy didn't have anything in his spoon! 2. Somebody let the poor guy get a table, he's on his break! 3. I think it was possible that almost every role Tony Danza had required the character to also be called "Tony". Also, yes, "lawl no puberty yet" jokes, not something you see usually. O_o 4. CHEWIN' GUM FREE IN AMURRRICA! 5. Ah yes, back when cars were built only at angles. 6. Yeah, like, that teen's relaxed yo. Don't kill his buzz man. 7. Oh man! I can't wa- Oh wait, these are just commercials, damn... 8. "We're libido slaves. It's something that's bigger than any of us." No truer words have been spoken. Also, GOD WHAT EVEN IS RICHARD'S HAIR!? 9. ...Is it wrong to be turned on by a candy bar commercial...? 10. Why did you buy the home if the roof was bad!? 11. Guh, I think this gave me diabetes just watching it. Seriously, who wants something that cries constantly? (Then again, I think that about babies in general so...) 12. This jingle better never go away, it's too iconic. And yeah, even now I identify with not wanting to grow up as an adult. 13. Kinda weird to see what looks to be a measured doc on Nixon 14. There was a lot of weird accents in that one, isn't it? 15. OH GOD THE CLOTHES ARE ALIVE! 16. Santa better fix that roof as part of the deal. No wonder the lady at 10 was worried! 17. Better get those teeth cleaned before we throw Bambi back into the Disney Vault! 18. No quips from me, that's actually pretty awesome. Customizable cars, cool designs, simple but catchy jingle; 5 stars! 19. Wow, I wasn't aware that Full House was so... boring. 20. God, that is some Grade A vintage beauty right there. Say what you will about 80's hair, she's gorgeous. Oh, and, uh, heels or something... 21. I don't know if this means that Volvo's are safer than other vehicles or if their owners are just more accident prone. :-\ 22. ... Okay, I'm scared, moving on! 23. Oh man, the late great Tony Jay can make even a home computer sound world changing. Also BALD ALIEN MAN AAAHHH!

    zzzombie888 The "Ghostbusters" live-action show was an awful short-lived kiddie show that only ran for 15 episodes. The only similarity was in the name, which Columbia paid to license for the film. The similarly terrible Filmation "Ghostbusters" cartoon was a shameless cash-grab created purely on the success of the movie (which was released in '84 BTW).
