This was the sun setting on the pre-internet era. The internet was around, but it wasn’t in every home. Not everyone has a cell-phone, Video rental stores, movies on cable, going to the mall, etc were all still “a thing”.
The internet came along and has added a lot to life, but taken a lot away too.
The Internet didn't go Commercial until 1995.
I will say netflix sure beats the pants off the ole getting to Blockbuster and seeing the good movies gone
Yeah, it was so cool in the beginning, but in hindsight, it has taken a lot of joy out of simple things in life. Remember when you didn’t even know a sequel was coming out until you saw the previews in theatres or on TV? Nothing was cooler than watching previews only to see an awesome sequel was coming out within a few months. Now, you know a sequel is coming years before a cast is even picked.

Yep it was aroumd mid 90's were it starts to get commercial and people start buying big ass PC's with Windows 95/98.
Absolutely.
$2.99 for an Old Fashioned Quarter Pounder Combo from Wendy's? Build that time machine NOW! 🍔
Literally yelled “what” when I saw that. I know with inflation it’d be a decent amount more, but it’s still shocking
Value meals at $2.99 were the norm through most of the 90s....it wasn't until after 911 when inflation went nuts. 911 did damage well beyond what we saw that day.
Wendy’s had the best fries back in the day before those ‘natural cut’ monstrosities
Nothing tastes the same there anyway so it doesn't really matter.
$5.26 in 2020 dollars. The same combo is over $8 now.
Brings me back to simpler times miss the 90s even miss the 80s more
Miss the 80's too, and the 70's:)
Give me a bowl or rice crispy treat cereal and some episodes of reboot and I’m a happy camper.
I could even add the early 2000's.
K.M. B Before 9/11
I just miss a world where we are allowed to have the freaking olylmpics
1994 was a HUGE year for movies. Alot of the most famous movies of all time came out that year...
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective,
The Mask,
Dumb and Dumber,
Pulp Fiction,
Forrest Gump,
Shawshank Redemption,
Lion King,
Speed,
Interview with the Vampire,
Legends of the Fall. All of those came out in ‘94
star gate and the crow came out in 1994
@@moabsmithbey9583 I almost forgot about Natural Born Killers, that was also a semi successful movie in 1994!
PULP FICTION
When the product spoke for itself and that was that. Now everything *has* to be a social statement.
Dude, I was thinking that exact thing. Why is it every company feels like they need to make a political statement with their ads now?...and I noticed the ads were more care free. There were a lot more ads that centered around vacations and family fun and family life in general, I don’t tend to see that so much any more.
And the background music is always clapping, ukuleles, whistling, annoying beats you have stuck in your head like the FB ads on here. I'm fucking tired of it.
It had to be in the 90s, as well. Back then, you had to label something "alternative" or nobody would buy it. Remember, the 90s were the height of political correctness and third-wave feminism.
I hate all social media’s platform it’s evil n my point view I don’t got none
Yes.
I hate youtube ads. I'm trying to watch these commercials!

@@ladiiblue2u634 it was an ironic joke lol
Lol yea
Lol. Me: Skip ads to watch "retro commercials". Because a $600 machine to make your own soda means someone has too much money😝
Lol
It’s like a time machine watching these. Thanks for taking the time to do this. You make us 90s kids feel good again. 15 minutes at a time. Thanks guys!
IT was good to see Dave Thomas.
I was surprised by the nostalgia hit I got from seeing him.
@@diegobob3306 heard he was a freemason
R.I.P. to him.
@@divulgewithchip1099 👁
Ah the 90s when I still had hope lol
Same
Damn I thought I was the only one lol
Nice.
1994 is one of my most favorite years of all time.
For me it's 86 to 97.
I was born late 1994! Haaha
I was born in November 25 1994
Mine 2 I wanna go back.
1996 is my favorite. The year the N64 was released.
That Jack Planance Skin Bracer commercial. The way he says those lines w those breaths 😂. I remember it so vividly. Classic
Ripley's believe it or not
Fast food isn't the same like it was in the 90s
Back when Macdonald's used real eggs lol
The prices for combos then are the 'value menu' prices now
@@blackdragon6 McDonald's still uses real eggs on certain sandwiches.
thedragonofdalzell yeah the Wendy’s single meal adjusted for inflation would only be $5.30 in 2020 dollars.
Believe it or not but taco bell used to be better in the 90's
I'm so thankful all my teen years were in the 90s
Could you imagine growing up today? Yuck!
You're so lucky. I was born in '94 😓
Cynewulf It’s gotta be tough on kids nowadays. Social media and technology are great when used right, but for the kids it’s detrimental.
@@catspjs6229 yeah I hate it. At this point the negatives of social media have far outweighed the positives. Wish I grew up in the 90s
Ditto
I graduated from high school in 1995. I miss the 90's!!!!!
hah ur old
Take me back!! PLEASE!!!! 2020 is just awful! I remember almost 90% of these commercials. I remember waking up, eating some pop tarts and getting ready for school, sneaking my POGS so I can trade them at school. I’d give anything to be back, even if for a day. I know everyone says it- but everything prior to 2004 was definitely a MUCH simpler time. Things are so ridiculously complicated now, I’m over it!
Take us all back ! :D
@Cats Pjs there were no iPhones back then therefore no GPS. GPS makes it alot easier to find places we’ve never been to these days unlike back then
@@nsasupporter7557 what are you on about? GPS existed back then bro, technology didn't start in 2007
@@nsasupporter7557 Yah, asking for directions was still a regularity well into the late 90's
@@DavesArchives go.
it is so crazy how much of the late 80s and early 90s ads I can recall since I was 2-7. But when the TV is always on in the background I guess you log it into your brain and store it away forever. Like this reels of ads could be useful to induce childhood memories, for real.
I miss the 90's. Such good times. I was a teenager then. actually 17 , depending on time of year. lol I was 18 in June 94. Good times!
I was 4 😶
You’re old HAHAHA :P
June 94 I was 17
@@Mistamista69 HAHA! My 17 year old daughter tells me that all the time.. I said yes I know.. one day you'll be this age too. lol
Great.
The 80s and the 90s were the best!
The mind melter 😂😂😂😂😂OMG! Couldn’t do that commercial now!
That one's not real. Skycorp is its own parody channel that does fake 80s/90s commercials. Not sure why this is in here😆
Megan G
Oh wow didn’t know that! Thanks 😆
Why couldn't you do it now
THATS FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!! XDXDXD
It says contains Uranium and LSD at the beginning
I was 15. It's amazing how many of these I remember. For instance the car making the figure 8 on the ice. Probably haven't seen that in 25 years but you see it and it's like "oh yeah I remember that.."
Miss the 2.99 combo’s at fast
food places.
Back in the good ol' days when the world wasn't crappy. I wish I could go back in time to enjoy the 90's again and get away from all this 2020 nonsense.
I don't think you know history
You mean when the wool was thick over your eyes
Everyone who thinks the world wasnt shit in the 90s and things were simple ...thats because you were 7
Nostaslgia is a mental illness.
@@stoicstacker3545 Even reels of fun old commercials aren't safe from the comments of "woke" anarchists. Lighten up!
Would actually love to have that Polaroid captiva. Pretty sweet
Good luck finding the film to go in it.
Something I've never seen and I grew up in the 90s. I suspect it had jamming issues.
Mmmmm.
When she said Anxiety, embarrassment, guilt it's all apart of breakfast I felt that
6:17 "Will Superman get there in time?"
No! He doesn't, and Lois dies *horribly*! It's a friggin' WILD episode!
I miss duckman. That show was awesome
True.
I was born in 1994! Haha this is cool to look at the stuff that was playing on tv the year I was born.
Same.
I was born in ‘99 so you’re old to me HA! :P
You and me both! In fact, watching these makes me realize just how truly ancient I am right now (despite having just turned 26). 🧓🏻
Born in January ‘94. It always felt like ten years ago to me... almost 30 years later
@@joshbrock6173, I hear you, bro. And I was born in SEPTEMBER.
Thank you, makes me feel a homesick sort of feeling.
Dave made the best Wendy's commercials. The way they shot Wendy's full with people sitting down in a warm place to get away from the cold with everyone being together just made the place seem like somewhere you wanted to be at.
Exactly!
Now people just get into fights inside them...
@@DavesArchives true Dave.
RIP Dave Thomas of Wendy’s
Wendy's really went to shit after he died.
@@marshalt it did huh
R I P sir
1980s and 1990s are definition of American Culture as it's beautiful Prime
HAPPINESS FOR THE WIN.
Yes Happiness for the win
Was sadness invented after the 90s?
@@Mistamista69 ???
Jayson Rogoz what do the 80s and 90s have to do with happiness? Some people were absolutely miserable back then.
mr mistour It has great film,Awesome music,rad Cartoon, Video game,tv show,food,etc. Some people has bad times but still has good life.
the skycorp commercial in the middle of this is fantastic
Isn't it!
@@DavesArchives true.
Thank you to you and all the others who archive all this retro stuff!
Remember tons of these from back then! I'm so happy these aren't lost for good.
Keep 'em coming!
Glad you like them! It's why we do it :)
@@DavesArchives nice.
We used to go to the bathroom during these commercials, now most of us are watching these in the bathroom.
Back before the world went to shit!!! The 90’s. GREATEST DECADE!!
This is what CZcams was meant for. Awesome channel!
Much appreciated!
@@DavesArchives you too.
High school class of ‘94. Good times!
Life was simpler and fun in the 90s I wish I can go back
Me too
When your 10 mins in thinking..."i wonder when the show's gonna start..."
🤣🤣 lol
Ha!
@@DavesArchives go dave go.
Class of 1994 =) Souls of Mischief '93 till Infinity!
7:30 LOL I WASNT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE SKYCORP ONE FOR A MINUTE AND THOUGHT “wait this sounds familiar, theres no way this is real” and realized what it was, just a commercial from the commercials, good shit OP
Ha! Thank you :D
@@DavesArchives You gotta love how these era's commercials would often troll you in an engaging way to keep the gist of the ads point, main product to keep you from groaning early or losing interest because when the punchline or pitch would hit often people would remark, oh, that's stupid, feeling their time wasted but it was fun, now your channel is doing the same thing where people can't tell the if the modern, inserted retro commercial sketches are real or not!
@@DavesArchives you are dave.
I was only BORN in '94...yet watching these makes me feel real ancient. 🧓🏻
Atleast you weren’t born in ‘93 :P
Or ‘83 😳
David Knapp I was born in 1990. It’s so funny watching the evolution of television broadcasting over the years. I can remember being 4 or 5 and not having any reason to wonder why the quality was so squirrelly back then. Imagine trying to un-ironically watch something like this now. I can only imagine how modern television looks to people were being raised right around the time televisions became commonplace in homes.
Me 1987
Try being born in 80. I just turned 40.
My childhood all in one Dammmn I miss the 90s
I love how there's a SkyCorp commercial just thrown in here LOL perfect
:D :D
@@DavesArchives what 😳 🤔 😐 😑 🤣 👀.
Gotta love how calm and cheerful the announcer sounds while Lois Lane is screaming for her life. 6:18
I am loving these comments. I think we are all realizing that we was living our best life in the 90s. This new era isn't for us. Thank God for this time machine aka CZcams.
I really want to go back.
Well you can’t so deal with it :P
Me too.
My first car at 16 was a 1994 Plymouth Acclaim. That was in 1999.
God, the memories.
And how much was that car then? Lol
My first car was a Ford escort
Yeah this is 1994 though
Okay.
Man...polaroid cameras...gigantic VHS videocameras, no smartphones, no internet, friday night movies, saturday morning cartoons....
It was truly a better time...I despise what this world has become...I truly do.
I do remember those Thrifty Car Rental commercials.
Definitely remember the Colombian Coffee one
$2.99 for a Wendy’s combo...I miss the 90s
Love these, but it’s pretty hilarious to see commercials for what are Craigslist beater cars now
My graduation year, wow this is awesome nostalgia!
Mine, too!
This was my first year of school. Starting Kindergarten, I remember most of these commercials.
Oooooh.
9:12 & 12:06 the iconic voice of Ed Grover for Visa.
14:17 one of the all-time great voice-over artists... Joe Sirola for Wendy's.
I wanna thank you. Finding a lot of unintentionally hilarious clips in these commercials.
Ha! Glad u like them!
@@DavesArchives wow.
1994 I came of age. I graduated from high school in June, turned 18 that September, and in October left home to join the Army in Ft. Knox, KY (Delta 2-46). Memories
Man, is anyone else binging on training videos & commercial videos too. I was watching the Hardee's & now I'm here,but, I'm entertained.
My parents bought that Lincoln continental. All the electronics broke on it within the first month, we ended up taking it back.
See you in 26 years CZcams when you recommend 2020 commercials for us to watch!
I bet the quarantine ads are going to be a BIG nostalgia boom by then.
THAT,
WILL NEVER
HAPPEN!
Yes.
My dad had a 1994 Continental. I remember getting lost in the backeast of that thing as a kid. It was huge.
Born on Oct 7 '80. I'm a 80s baby, 90s teen, I'm the last generation before social media
Me2 ...I always thought the future was going to be cool I guess I'm wrong
@@demaan3357 Back then was way better, the only thing is technology has gotten better, that's about it.
I was born Aug.80. Miss those days
@@kimbailey5324 We're the last old school generation! lol
Good for you.
Born in 1990. But still remember these commercials.
I graduated high school in June of 1994 that was a long time ago the whole world is different now compared to back then
I had to tell myself it was gonna be ok before watching this. Really struck a nerve.. a good one to go back into the past.
Ah, the year I graduated high school.....thanks for the memories!
Same here
I’ve been watching this 7 minutes right
now waiting for the show to start.
Also nothing like the nostalgic winter effects of 90s commercials they all have a similar vibe
Reminds me of dumb and dumber for some reason 😂😂
Yes.
Wow this brings this me back to my childhood was born in 85 haha
My senior year in HS. I worked at the grocery store and rarely watched TV because of work or hanging out with friends.
Back when Wendy’s was the best fast food around.
Wendy’s is still good. Burger King and McDonalds are now trash
Wendy’s still has the best fast food burgers .Burger King blows since like 1999. Foods always cold,,and McDonald’s ahh, no.
Yummy 😋.
Lois & Clark, god I loved that show. I used to watch it with my mom when I was a teenager. My dad hated it though because he said Dean Cain looked too wimpy to be Superman.
Yeah I used to watch it before I went to school in the morning.
Well Dean is like super hot tho lmao
Carl B Dafuq does Superman need with a gun?
Ugh. Notorious Wife Killer Scott Peterson at the time looked so much like Dean Cain that poor Dean played him in the movie.
@@LATerr0r He doesn't, didn't you see him catch it when the ladies tossed it?
These will never happen again thank you soo much
The closest thing to a time machine! Ty!
My thoughts exactly!
I miss the mid 90's. It was a great time to be a teenager.
I remember those old wendys commercialswith dave thomas
It's hilarious to me in the Lois and Clark promo, superman has a gun. 😂
To be fair, he caught it being tossed by the girls.
Not.
Get outta here! Voice activation in your car....in the 90s?!!
It's a car phone. It didn't come with the car
@@sgillman16 I think you might have missed the point. The fact that there was voice activated phone calling technology in '94 is a bit shocking to some of us. The fact that it was portable makes it even more so.
@@josiahferrell5022 you must be a youngster
@@sgillman16 If you consider 30 to be "youngster", then sure. I don't see how that is relevant.
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe it was just for Rich people back then lol.
i keep watching these commercial, as at the end of one of them, a sitcom is bound to come on!
I miss high quality barbie dolls lmao
graduated high school in 94...good times.
13 min mark, ALL those kids are in their 30's now.
Assuming they’re all still alive
Good.
Never felt more like I was in a dystopian Sci Fi movie
GOD I MISS THE 90S 😭😭😭
I used to imitate that Skin Bracer commercial for my friends. And I'll say I also asked mom to buy me some Skin Bracer so the commercial worked.
This is so weird to watch these came out the year I was born but I remember some of these when I was a little older
Some commercials from 1994 were still airing into 1997 and rarer cases even 1998/early 1999, like the Castrol GTX, Pert Plus, Menards, Wendys, the naughty 900 numbers, etc. Same commercials, but slight alterations.
I love the Visa commercial, that food looks so tasty, yum!
When KFC was actually good
Remember kfc rotisserie chicken?
That was good eating.
No they used regular oil back then it made me so sick they use sunflower nor or something whitch doesent make me sick the chicken was dripping in waaaay to much nasty fat back then
Still yummy 😋 😜 😊 😍 😉 😘.
The Skycorp part gave me whiplash lol
5:10 I think that’s the same woman Eddie Murphy gave the diamond earrings to in *Coming To America*
My doctor still refuses to write me a prescription for Mind Melter
Aww, 1994 when i was six years old and the year my Grandpa died.. my dad was never the same since his passing in june 2021... love ya pops and grandpa!! think of you everyday!!
94 was an awesome year. I miss it. And the 80s. Being an adult blows.
That Mind Melter commercial is a trip!
The year I was born!! :)
Mind Melter is from last year....but thank you so much for introducing me to Sky Corp Home Video! Their sketches are hilarious.
Indeed, they are!
@@DavesArchives weeee.
Lol omg I remember these commercials man I miss those days.
I was 8 years old and I remember most of these commercials lol
Have we just achieved the demolition man prediction about jingles from the past?
Favorite movie from the 90s. And yes we did🤣
Yes.
It’s crazy, back in 1994 these commercials would have been a total annoyance to people...now nostalgia junkies willingly watch them.
And back then people struggled with depression and sadness the same way we do now but yet the 90s are remembered as a universally great decade.....makes me wonder what people will chose to remember about the 2010s/2020s
Good points
Wow.
Tbh, in 1994 being depressed was kinda considered the cool thing that got you chicks & grunge/goth subculture friends, especially in the peak days of Nine Inch Nails and Nirvana in the "In Utero" era. Women actually found that attractive & it was easier for depressed guys to get women, especially when compared to today. So, in those days being depressed could sometimes have its odd perks.
That mind melter commercial is great.
Shit, I didn't realize how long ago Lois and Clark was...
