Anyone spot Betty White?? :)
"Why should anybody worry about whether their cotton swabs are soft?"
Betty White is the reason I still use Q-Tips. Nothing else will do.
No 80's WAVY-TV 10 Commercials
She’s so beautiful 😍
She was already old in 1983 dang😧
Me in 1983 - *fast-forwards all commercials*
Me now - *watching 15 solid minutes of commercials on purpose*
I used to get mad when these commercials came on. Now I seek them out. Who woulda thought.
funny how things work out!
Commercials are the true TV shows.
Absolutly right mike b me too☺
Yeah aren't we crazy watching these things? Who would of thought! I could not stand commercials back then but I search You Tube for anything in the 80's.. its a guilty pleasure thats for sure.. but I love it
Can’t watch anymore - makes me super sad to remember when EVERYTHING about this country used to not suck!
Yes sir
I think we can all agree that society was objectively better 40 years ago. Was there racism, was there poverty, was their inequity? Yeah, but they weren't as weaponized (by corporations, and their puppets/politicians) as they are now, and we weren't nearly as divided, as we are now. The Collapse was already happening back then, but it was much more subtle and small, and there was still patriotism and a belief in ourselves, our nation, and a bright future, and that's what makes these old commercials so bittersweet to use oldies that grew up in the culture they depict. I miss it. I'm looking to get out of this USA in the next couple of years. I don't want to be around for The (planned) Collapse.
I understand ☹️ I feel the same
🙌🏾🙌🏾
Oh.
Never have I ever loved watching commercials this much 🙌🏻
We took them for granted
Yes.
@MsHellraser no doubt there spent life muting commercials now we can't get enough now we search for nothing but old commercials we are our own community
Id give a lot to go back to the 80s...
Same here my friends....
I’m sure old people in the 80s said the same thing about going back to the 40s. Appreciate life and the time you’re living in.
@@dantegood2195 well written. Thank you
why??? they were just like today except we had much less information
If give everything I have because my father and grandparents were still alive......
Back when all the people I loved were still alive.
Some of then are
Same here.
Bitter sweet, my son was not alive then but my great grandmother was alive and living on her own. I miss her garden.
Yep. Part of getting old.
I feel the same way buddy
It's amazing to think that these ads are almost 40 years old.
If you had told me in '83 that I would be watching commercials in 40 years with nostalgia pains, I would've laughed in your face...
Back then the reason I loved VHS tapes and newspaper to look back at all the old shit.
Boy I swear 1983 ads are freaking awesome. Today's commercial just stinks!
Man, if I could wake up back in 1983, I'd just....actually, probably just sit down and watch He-Man.
Let's see.....I was 8 years old..., playing tag with friends, And I'm sure my whole neighborhood was still on a Michael Jackson high!
Thats right...today's kids just wouldn't understand 🤗
I turned 17 years old in 83.. and it was a fantastic summer! My car my friends, going to the beach hanging out, chasing the girls 😊 it was a special time.. the freedom I had.. I sure do miss those days.
I was born on October 6, 1983 and was 2 months old at the end of that year
Hi Johnny Lawrence
I was 10 lighting firecrackers and M-80s
I wish I could wake up in 1983! I was 14, I had just gotten my braces off and I was figuring out what to do with my hair.
I was just sitting here in my emotions wishing I could go back to these simpler times.
I was also 14 in 1983!
I wish also to wake up in 1983 but with experience that I have now ( like in the movies) in order to not make the same mistakes again and would run to my high school to know someone...
Okay.
I wonder how many young people remember when oil cans were actual metal cans. I loved the '80s. Best times of my life. Thanks for the time warp!
When I was in school we said the pledge every day. And to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God ,indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
When I was a kid I couldn't wrap my head around the phrase "and to the republic for which it stands". It's a shame kids are taught that the US of A is a democracy and not a republic. Perhaps it's too complicated for children. Democracy seems like a fair system but democracy without the rule of law is by definition mob rule. In any case, it's a shame it was cut out.
My kids'schools have always had them say it. They've always gone to public schools, too.
But there is no such thing as a magical being in the sky watching you.
@@cuteguy2824 Don’t do yourself the disservice of thinking you know a thing you cannot possibly know.
Actually the original Pledge was, to the flag and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. The part, under god, which literally divides the pledge, wasn't added until McCarthy's witch hunt era in the 1950s.
Betty White before Golden Girls. Thanks for these, they remind me of a much better time.
Born 1983, stumbled on this one. Its amazing how much media and ads have changed. After watching I believe its wrong to say people then didnt have the same issues we have. I do believe the ads seem more genuine and honest.
Perfect break from all the BS.
Hmmmm.
@@taureanmay7480hmm what?
I was 2 years young I don't remember much but I would go back to 1983 in a heartbeat
I'd wake up in '83 with a hangover. I was 19 and just worked, partied, and jammed. Great times.
I was 10 in 83, my mind is blown when I see a commercial i remember seeing 37 years ago.
Same for me Terri, I’m 47 also, so crazy the feelings these commercials bring back 👊
Only two more years for the big one Terri.
I was born..
Yes.
That’s scary
Funny....i actually found myself wanting to watch the documentary on how they made Jaws 3-D 😄
Same
Yes.
I'm pretty sure you are looking for this.

Obsessed with the 80's❤ Would go back !! I feel like a "foreigner" in this high tech era. I'm so simple❤
I have no use for all this techno garbage
I wish I could wake up again in 1983...same age, too. Just with my current knowledge.
Like in that Tom Hanks movie?
Yaaasssss!!!!💯👍🏿
Back When Doritos tasted Great, 3 kinds of cheese!!! Wow!!! Still Remember that!! They're kinda Bland now!!😋☹
Oh.
Another memorable year that I barely watched any television.... good to see what I missed. Thank you :)
I was 7 years old in 1983. Such a happy time and seems to be such a happy feeling watching these commercials. Not sure why, but even the message comming through these commercials seems to be much more simple, easier .
Would love to be my age now and back in the 80s again!! That would make a great movie. Somebody cast me for this part please, so I can be happy all over again and experience that feeling!!!!
Can’t believe it’s 40 years. I wouldn’t mind waking up in the 80’s for a day or two.
The Hitachi commercial is a good example on how fast technology was changing in the 80s. They offered a 10 year on Transistors but yet by 93 you could not find a transistor for repairs.
I'm 1983, I would go to pee during commercials. Now I'm purposely watching them.
Wood cabinet TVs lol! The height of sophistication.
19 inches! FULL COLOR! Imagine watching 360p from across the room on something smaller than some computer monitors.
...and dolgurnit we liked it that way you whippersnappers! =D
They burn better
We had a colonial maple tv cabinet! Cause you know, we wanted to be historically accurate!😂
Yes.
Commercials were so much better back then than they are now. So simple...yet lively and beautiful.
Wow! 1983! I would love to go back, and wake up in 83” I would be back in the age of 13, what a great moment in the second coming of the British music invasion bands like Duran Duran, Culture Club, Def Leppard, Judas Priest & so many to list.
13? same age here.
I was 16 and on a solo, wandering,summer vacation in Spain....( my God!! Wasn't this just yesterday???)
Thanks Dave. As always, an awesome trip into the past!!
Wow.
I was a senior in high school. The year I graduated. I wish I could go back to not have a care in the world and my mom was still alive😢
🙏🏾
Me too 🥺
@@princessjones34 We didn't realize how wonderful the time was! These days are a nightmare.
Yes.
TIME from my Soph And junior years of High school , I was mostly 16 until Dec 7th . i was addicted to MTV then .... THANKS DAVE !!! Great Job !
I was all of 2 years old in 83, but I can for sure say useless magazine subscription commericals is one thing I don't miss.
"Have more fun in bed!" They knew what they were setting themselves up for when they made that slogan, right?
I bet their customers are from the red light district.
Kids, get your parent's permission first! 😲
Of course they did. Wasn't too many years before this that George Carlin recorded _FM & AM,_ where he joked about hidden sex in advertising. Hilarious routine about how cigarette ad slogans were obscene, but as always with Carlin, there was a lot of truth in it. All kidding aside, I'm 100% sure that company knows that one of the things on couples' minds when they're shopping for a new bed is, "How durable is it? Because we can get really vigorous." They figured out a subliminal way to tell them, "You can bounce up and down on this thing all you want and it'll hold up nicely." Without having to come right out and say what they're saying, y'know?
Okay.
I wish I could invent a time machine and go back
Wouldn’t I love to wake up to 1983...
Very amusing spot for The American Express Card, when the wife tells her husband she is taking him out for dinner and she had just gotten the card as a "celebration".
Wow.
I was 14 in 1983, Northern California.
I feel very privileged to have experienced the 80's. Now where's the time machine?
I still have my '83 VW rabbit truck!
Wow, I haven't heard or thought about that Time Magazine jingle since probably 1983, but it still sounded so familiar. They must have drilled it into my head back in the day.
I wish it was 83 and not 21.
Another great one! Love the stuff from 73 to 83!
Love the old oil cans needed the metal pouring spout that you pushed in piercing the top of can to pour in your motor
In the late 80s into the 90s i would burn through 2 vcrs a year...my mom would tell me I should record commercials, . I said I'd never watch them..... and hear I am
I was four years old in 1983. I grew up and still live in NJ, but I've never heard of 15 Cent Photo in Clifton. But I remember watching WOR channel 9 a lot! Years ago I was in Secaucus for a comic con type event and drove past the studio. 😁
Good old days
I have that t.v. i still use it
My life was so simple in 83.
Turned 8 in late August of 83...and yes, I do remember most of the commercials. It's like, you forget them after not seeing them in ages, then all of a sudden, the memories come back. 83 was a damn good year, at least for me.
I turned 10 in ‘83. Great times
Wow.
those were cool old school memories
That pledge allegiance so many would find offensive today.
Why should it be offensive?
@@joannegoebel4642 the social justice pussys would call it a micro aggression and say it's toxic masculinity!
@@joannegoebel4642 One nation indivisible "under god" which is only added relatively recently in the anti communism fervor of mccarthyism years of the late 40's, early 50's etc, same with "in god we trust" going on the bills, otherwise I don't think they can argue much, sure there is contradictions to equality, justice for all but not to the point of cancelling, censoring
Yes.
Who knew the peace sign could be used to sell Vaseline...
Who knew the sign for victory would end up being a peace sign?
So right
It sure didn’t catch on. Lol.
Wow.
1983 I turned four-teen that year and was in love with life. Oh the memories.
Retro commercials from this era are so dull yet so exciting to watch at the same time, love it! I would have been 2 years old at the time.
Yes.
Hey! The first time I ever woke up was in 1983. March of 1983.
May '83, here! *high fives*
Yes.
Being a kid or a teenager in the USA in 83 would've been awesome
True.
God i miss the cold War..
Ahhhh a remember Ronald reagan..and allll of these commercial s
As a former Lockheed employee in the 1980’s, so do I! He was daddy war bucks!
There is a new starting with China
True.
I wasn't even a teen yet in 83, and the Time commercial hit me like a ton of bricks. As soon as I heard them start singing the jingle it all came back to me.
I was 12 in 83 and I remember watching these commercials on TV
Me too pal!
Good.
I'll say one thing - these are a MUCH welcome back especially compared to prescription drug story commercials!
I don't know why commercials from before I was even alive are so fascinating to me.
Probably because they're vintage now... a time long gone
Yes.
I miss the retro Dorito nacho cheese bag. I swear the flavor was better back in the day
Back when everybody was nice.
Isn't it just wonderful watching these old commercials and not hearing or seeing the phrase DOT COM every few seconds. Today's commercials are completely worthless and garbage. Besides, the people that are in them act like complete idiots.
1983 I was 2 years old. 👶🏽
The Mobil 1 commercial was cool
If I woke up in 1983 I would be 3 years old. I definitely loved watching the commercials more than the programs!
WEll, since it's 1983 again I think I'll fire up the ol ColecoVision and play Star Wars on my 15" Zenith. The one with the bad color tube that makes purple look like brown.
Shango066 may know how to fix that, or he'll make some sort of funny sarcastic comments about it.
I was rockin a bkack and white tv in '83. Age 10
What.
1:02 broadcast coming from the antenna atop the north tower of the World Trade Center
I remember 😢I lived in NJ. My daughter was born June 1983. I was just 20 😁
💔
True.
Right on time with this one!🤟🏽
True.
Good times
I had forgotten that a 19 inch TV was a good thing. Also, that we sang about hand lotion.
One can make a better commercial with today’s smartphone.
Me: Touches “skip ad” to watch ads.
The internet: loves the irony.
Woohoo! Love it Dave! 💖
3:16 The newscaster from Back to the Future, who talks about missing plutonium.
So these were the commercials the year i was born.
Clifton n.j awesome I'm oringenally from linden n.j...now I reside in orlando fl for the last 30 yrs
@0:32 WHAT THE HECK? The Portland Trailblazers theme!
The Atari commercial was awesome . I still have that game to this day.tutankaman by parker brothers.
Who knew they watered down ice cream with air 🤷♂️🍦
Thanks for the memories!
I'm a kindergarten student at this point.
Me too 🥺
Yes.
Nice!!! Thanks for sharing!! Greetings from Argentina!
I'd like to visit '83 definitely!
Sure.
I remember my town had a Carvel ice cream shop. Do the6 exist anymore? You can buy the ice cream cakes in some grocery stores.
Yummy 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋.
Oh no they showed the Washington Redskins logo in the football magazine commercial , I sure hope it didn't offend anyone
HTTR
What does that mean?
Yes.
@@taureanmay7480 we'll boo hoo grow up
I woke up in 1983.....because that was the year i was born.
What happened to the Pledge of Allegiance... was the tape like that? Because the black screen that it cuts to doesn't really match the other black screens... you too? The video glitch when that commercial comes in seems to repeat it's pattern... and it faded from the darker pitch black...
I was just about to enjoy the children saying the Pledge of Allegiance.
Or anyone notice the complete lack of Auto Insurance and Prescription Drug commercials?
When I wad a kid I never even heard the word cotton swap. It was always Q tips. Guess their branding was spot on back in the day.
And kleenex!
Hmmmm.
83 graduated high school.
Damn I wish it was 1983 again
Looks like Cheryl Teigs in Vaseline commercial.
Goddamn I miss the 80s!!
Back when MTV was must see TV.
Back when MTV still had...er....music.
Same.
1983. Engines igniting. 1st gear. Dump clutch. The 80s 👍👍👍
