Baby Super Discount is now Streetlight Records store since the 1990's. I used to work at the glass company next door as a summer job from high school 1983 to1985.

Right I wish I was going to college back then, $5 per semester? Good ole days.

John Hughes definitely had something to do with the Class Act ads. :D

The Togo commercial is funny, I like the cheesy sound effects!!

1:00 and 9:00 Hey, it's Fred Newman! I can't be the only one who remembers Fred most because he used to co-host The All New Mickey Mouse Club on the Disney Channel. He went on to do work with Nickelodeon, "Doug" and the Prairie Home Companion. To me he will always be Fred from the MMC.

That Cheveron logo hasn't changed in over 20 years.

I loved the drunk bear at the end of that Hamm's commercial too. L.O.R.L.

9:25 "Look what ya did.......you little jerk!"

These commercial blocks are awesome!! I keep seeing stuff I forgot about long ago.

i feel sooooooooooooooo old!

About the "Sonny Bono Look", I can't remember a whole lot from the 80's (I was only five when they ended) but I certainly remember seeing men with long hair and mustaches EVERYWHERE. Maybe it's a California thing?

i had one of those freaking locker answering machines! :-D the machine could only work by using high pitched whistles you'd give friends, so no one else could activate it. so if a friend wanted to leave a message, they'd stand at the grates of your locker, where'd you mount your voice recorder which is linked to the tape recorder. then they'd blow the whistle, and leave a message my machine wasn't used much, unfortunately but thanks for refreshing my memory. you're awesome :-D

hey thanks 😀ive wondered for years how those things worked ever since seeing this commercial as a kid years ago .

I said the same thing about the "Sack Book Bags", they were seen a lot in movies from the 80's. Thanks For the memories.

Wow! That was Skeeter! I had no idea , I always thought he was voiced by someone much younger. Fred Newman is talented!

Chevron with Techroline. Use of 'Priceless' seems to be a precursor to the Mastercard ad campaign. Yes.

This was my 8th birthday and it was a local channel I had back in the Bay Area! Too funny!! Love how you can buy a Nissan pickup truck for $99/month!!! LOL!

I used to live in San Jose as a little girl, and oddly enough, I remember seeing a lot of these commercials!

I love all these school supply commercials they r soo funny

i can just picture guys leaving lewd messages on her locker answering machine lmao

I remember not liking the guy in the Breyer's commercial. I think because he reminded me of my dentist. LOL

LOL...I used to have a Stuff-It binder.

$5 per unit semester wow college i want to be there back then

Thank you for the walk down memory lane...keep em coming! :)

A locker answering machine?! Did any teenager in the 80s actually have one of these?

I was a teenager in the 1980's, and I sure don't remember those things.

These are so rad! Thanks for the nostalgic flash-back. And I love your funny comments (after the brand/corp. name).

Furniture store commercials never change do they? In 20 years there are still commercials exactly like that lolol

Breyers, A Puff of Ice Cream Eating Ice Cream

4:07 That's a classic commercial!

I extremely doubt John Hughes was involved in commercials for school supplies.

Notes... 14. Sawyer College Of Business (6:39):I love the typewriter-class (forward looking skills?). 15. The Brake Doctors (7:13) :What's with the 1973 Sonny Bono hair-do? It's 1987! 19. Class Act Stuff-It Binder: Primitive laptop, I guess.

Yeah read the fine print. It says "On approved credit."

1. Class Act Sack It Schoolbag (These commercials are like a John Hughes movie in commercial form) 19. Class Act Stuff-It Binder (That's the guy who played Uncle Frank in "Home Alone" as the disapproving authority figure) Home Alone. Written by John Hughes. Whatchu think?? :P

3:12...Want the hightops! ::lovvvveee: this takes me back

Reebok, The Blasketball Shoes!!

I remember that Reebok shoes were all the rage in my area back then.

Class Act was from Worlds of Wonder, makers of Laser Tag. That brings back memories.

i wanna go to west valley! :O

I'm so glad that the John Hughes look was pretty much out by the time I got to high school four years after this. Wasn't Worlds of Wonder the Teddy Ruxpin people? Somehow, I don't think any members of the San Francisco 49ers, much less Joe Montana, needed to lease a car from Nissan. Was he a national spokesman, or just for Northern California?

I wonder if that Togo's commercial partly inspired MST3K.

9:21 Joe D’Onofrio from Goodfellas. He played the part of young Tommy DeVito.

That brake ad was a shamless rip-off of an earlier slogan! (I think from Crystler???) And, remember... The cutting-edge technolgies of the 80's initially fetched what would today be considered a sick joke! We paid $335.99 (ON SALE!!!) for my first VCR. Now they give them away for free when you buy a set of Tap-Lights!

Al DIAS!!!! holy cow!! Where's Paul from the Diamond Center?

(to sygo9g) damn straight that bear was drunk. he might as well have been voiced by Phil Harris.

The was nothing cooler to aspire to in the 80s to be a student who can run down a hallway and dodge other students.

Where's the deloreans? Dang.

Fred Newman was only about 35 years old in 1987. He must have gone gray early. I really want some ice cream now :) Also, the Hamm’s commercial was freakin’ awesome. I don’t think it’s made anymore?

Hamm's beer is still around (now owned by Coors according to Wikipedia). I think it is now sold as a budget beer in select markets.

5$ a credit hour--WOW. Though honestly, California has cheap education. It's around 70$ a credit hour here (Florida), and in my boyfriend's town in Southern Cali it's only around 25$ a credit hour. Also: Locker... Answering machine...?

It used a whistle as a password. Check out the comment picorna1977 made.

Worlds Of Wonder (the company that made Class Act, along with Teddy Ruxpin and the original Lazer Tag) went out of buisness in 1990. other companies make their products but not Class Act. So nerds of today need to find anther way to express geekiness. but then again, everyone is a nerd and in style w/ the advent of iPads, tablets and other technology.

We don't have Togos in my home state of Iowa (from their web site, it looks like they are primarily a West Coast chain), but I love that commercial! Did I spot a cameo of the Curly Joe-era Three Stooges in there? It sure looked like it to me.

9:34 what was squeak trying to get away with there at the end ? I don't get it 🤔

how the hell did that dude park on the running track?

@fullflavormenthol We certainly live in a sick world!

I gotta admit those class act commercials were definitely pushing the envelope back then. They were borderline risque. I'm quite surprised they got away with airing them.

Love the Class Act commercial messages that school was for socialization not education. Maybe that's why I don't remember ever attending class in HS... Joe Montana was FIIINNNE. Where was I? Oh, ya imitating Madonna... Damn you Fred...I'm so craving ice cream now!

You get Fred Newman to star in your commercial but you don’t ask him to make his famous sound effects? What a rip off!

well yes of course but the coincidence... that you said that and hey there's Uncle Frank!!
