There is an absolutely massive difference between the technology that existed 50-60 years ago and the way that the internet/social media has changed society in the last 20-30 years. If you can't see that, you're blind. This isn't a case of just "every generation says this".

Sitting here watching this I actually felt myself relax on the inside. I haven't felt that way since I was a kid. No bills, no job, no worries.

When the Happy Meals were $1.99...those toys are nostalgic, I’m so grateful that I was born in the 80’s and grew up in the 90’s. There was no better time to grow up

Somebody please give me a ride back to the 90s... The BEST YEARS EVER

I'm so happy I was able to grow up in the 90s. I wish I could go back. Simpler times. Even the fast food was better back then.

Makes me want to build a time machine to travel back to the 90s.

ancient arms of magnetic gaming moments you’re half way back in time watching this

Watching these commercials gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside. Brings me back to when I was a kid in the 90’s and times were simpler

To think about it I was born in 1990 when I was a kid I felt like time couldn't move fast enough. Now I feel like time is moving too fast! Wow I feel old.

Cant believe that in 2020, the 90s will have started THIRTY YEARS AGO. That dumbfounds me.

As Andy Bernard would say.... “I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.” 😭

When I was a kid in the 90s, I couldn’t wait for the commercials to be over now I come on KZread and search 90s commercials. Lol 😆

I’m right back to being an elementary kid again, sitting on the living room floor in my parents’ apartment. Nothing really beats this nostalgic headrush. No stress. No worries. Just a kid chewing on my drinking straws and watching random television.

This reminds me of staying up late on weeknights and flipping through the channels to find something to watch. You had to flip through the channels you liked and if commercials were on you had to wait until after the break to see what was on. This was before the internet, or at least what it is today. There was no watching whatever you wanted on KZread or a stream service. You couldn't just pop on an online game with friends or randoms. By then you had probably watched the VHS tape you rented and really didn't feel like playing the Nintendo or Sega cartridge you rented. There is something about the simple look and something in the sound of those commercials that modern day commercials will never have. Commercials had that kind of "deep boom" effect with the sound. Simpler days.

I miss watching TV. Just lying on my bed, and only the remote in my hand. No tabs, no social media, or e-mails, no way to stop things midway to "watch it later".

God I miss this decade!

Cosby commercial made me laugh.

I’m from Australia & In the 90’s when I was a kid our family went on a big American vacation - one of the biggest memories that I still have from our time traveling is watching all these unique commercials on the television while staying at different motels/hotels all over America. It was a real window of time, looking back at them now on KZread gives me so much nostalgia.

I remember those jewelry commercials so well.

I sooooo miss the 90’s, good music, good entertainment, just good all the way around.

I was 10. I played with Barbies. I remember most of these commercials! My dad was still alive during these, so strange to think of him watching these-alive, breathing. I miss these days.

I think a significant part of the nostalgia in these commercials, even for those who weren't teens in the 90s, is that we had a more optimistic vision of the future back then than we do now. We thought the new millennium was going to be a fresh start for humanity, separate from the atrocities that happened in the 20th century and united by the communicational power of the Internet. We were happy and carefree. Everything was going to be ok. And look where we are today.

I usually do not try to bring politics into these comment sections, but the elections of 2000 and 2016 were probably the most impactful in the history of this country, and dramatically affected the course of where the country was heading. When you wonder how we got to where we are now, look back at those two points. And the fresh start from the “atrocities of the 20th century” was the 1950s-1990s…where a great deal of social change and upheaval happened, for the betterment of society. This new century seems to be on course to regress the progress of the latter half of the 20th century.

​ @80sCommercialVault It's fine if you discuss politics. I'm not a huge politics guy, but I do agree that the famous orange man elected in 2016 was a major upset in the history of the US. I can't say much of Bush, given I hadn't yet been born when he was elected, but it's fascinating how much his public approval rate fluctuated. As for the "fresh start" I talked about, what I mean by that is simply the feeling of entering the 2000s. Maybe there have been historical periods for which "fresh start" is a better description, but for most, the new millennium was simply a much more tangible and fixed point to call something like "the beginning of a new era". I unfortunately did not have the opportunity to experience this beginning though, so I may be wrong and I'll accept it if I am, but the 2000s certainly seemed like it was going to be a beautiful era for mankind. The point is, if I had been born in the late 20th century, I would draw the line between 'good' and 'bad' life on September 11, 2001. For me, 9/11 represents that illusion of a prosperous future, a more peaceful world for all nations, the so-called American Dream, all fading away as we watched the towers fall, either with our own eyes or behind a TV screen. It was the day we began to look into the past rather than the future.

@@80sCommercialVault Have you ever heard about the album "News at 11"? It's a record that includes samples of TV broadcasts on 9/11, but just before they say the date or notify about the attack, it cuts to Weather Channel music, almost as if you traveled back in time and changed channels just as it happened in a weird sort of denial, an inability to accept the loss of innocence after being traumatized by a historical event. I know that it wasn't inevitable, but it makes the attacks even more impactful. The fact that we could have avoided losing 3,000 lives, including my mother's cousin, is what makes their ghosts persist. How can such a developed nation not be able to elect a decent leader? How can such an indecent leader let a developed nation be attacked? You can experience the future, but you will never forget the past. I certainly won't.

In 1996, the FCC began enforcing the Children's Television Act: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulations_on_children%27s_television_programming_in_the_United_States#Children%27s_Television_Act This was basically the death knell for Saturday Morning Cartoons, and within five years most of them were gone from the lineup of the major networks. A great deal of my videos are focused on preserving the ads from Saturday Morning blocks. In 1997 the FTC began allowing Direct To Consumer advertising of prescription drugs. Prior to this, prescription drugs could not be advertised on TV. This essentially opened the floodgates of the advertising hellscape we now live in. Only two countries in the entire world allow this sort of advertising, the United States and New Zealand. So the answer is basically...changes in Federal regulations made in the last 25 years have completely transformed TV and advertising.
