Subject: How about some streaming 80's commercials? Enjoy!

Written By: Tony J Case on 02/16/06 at 9:03 pm

Hey folks - I thought you might enjoy a special treat. Brought to you through the magic of Google video: streaming 80's commercials! I thought you'd get a kick of this blast from the past

* 7-Up christmas
* Mr Coffee - now with ANALOG clock!
* Pepsi with Michael Jackson - not the one where he bursts into flames
* Forest Fires PSA - I bet you remember this one!
* Minolta Cameras - from the Mind of Minolta!
* Minolta Cameras - Another one from Minolta
* Sponsored by McDonalds
* Happy Holidays from McDonalds
* Mac Tonight!
* The M-TV rocket bumper - you know, back when they played music
* The Commodore 64
* The Commodore 64 now half off!
* Get your education with a Commodore 64
* Learn Computers with Commodore
* IBM picks Commodore
* Nintendo's Kirby - this might be from the 90's, but VERY early 90's.
* The Nintendo Entertainment System - now youre playing with POWER!
* The GI Joe Troop Carrier - Yo joe!
* Hot Trax - All your 80's hits by K-tel
* Return of the Jedi Sweepstakes - what says 80's like Action Figures!
* Magnavox TVs - so clear, so high tech!
* Snuggle Fabric Softener - another Christmas ad
* Crest Tootpaste - "We make holes in teeth!"
* Blackstar Action figures - the OTHER Filmation show.
* Emmerson Electronics
* CUTIE - the girl version of MUSCLE
* Castle Grayskull playset - By the POWER OF . . . well, you know.
* Pound Puppies

I got a ton more on my hard drive, but this should be a good start for now. If I get plenty of love and adoration, perhaps I'll put some more up. :)

So the 98 dollar question - I have more (lots more) of these hanging around on my hard drive. However it takes some time to encode them and upload 'em to google (plus, theyre not the fastest in getting them online) - so it's a healthy chunk of work. While I'm sure Quirk would love to see more, the thread scrolled off the page without comment. If theres intrest, I'll do more. If not, I'll let the thread die in peace. . . .

If you guys want more - ya gots ta speak up.

Hey Tony, I got a tough one for you....could you manage to put the "This is your brain, this is your brain on drugs" PSA? I have literally searched the Internet high and low for this ad and cannot find it. If you could that would be great, if not don't worry...I don't really care that much.

Yes, I do have that one - HOWEVER, it's not on the hard drvie, its on one of my DVD-R's. I can get it, but it takes some rerigging of my set up to import from DVD. Gimme the weekend and I'll see if I can provide it for you.

Meanwhile, here's a couple more to make you feel old. I would have had some MTV promos up too, but google says that I dont own the rights to them. On the other hand, google seems to think I *DO* own the rights to the Transformers, GI Joe and Jiffypop.

Sheesh.

* Cup O Noodles

* Jiffy Pop Popcorn

Wow, thanks Tony...that would be great. I didn't even think anyone had that commerical. I actually haven't seen it yet, it came out when I was practically a baby (I know, I'm young eh? ;)) I tried every different search you can imagine to find it and couldn't. Anyways, it will be nice to finally see it.

WOW, I remember the McDonalad Holiday commercial - I think it was one of the first "holiday" commercials to start off the season. I think they ran that several years, as well.

I had my own pound puppy collection, but I don't remember that commercial much. I didn't realise adults liked them, too  ;D
