80's Commercials Vol. 1040

Описание: These commercials aired on WNYW on December 18th, 1986

1. 7up Commercial Bumper
2. Nintendo Commercial Bumper (The fact that most of the NES Black Box games were out for the Christmas of '86 is kind of a testament to why the console succeeded so much that year. Even though the third party support was still very limited, that is a lot of great games with a lot of variety to have at what is effectively the national launch of your console)
3. Nintendo Entertainment System
4. Coleco Talking Teacher (Sorry, that Speak & Spell design is iconic)
5. Visa
6. Inhumanoids Toys at Child World (You've gotta love such an insane property like Inhumanoids being promoted. Also, the Inhumanoids monster figures were not cheap: $24.99 in 1986 is now around $70 today adjusted for inflation! But they were also around 14 inches tall and dwarfed pretty much every action figure on the market. They now go for several hundred dollars loose)
7. Old Spice
8. Nerf (I'm pretty sure that this kid later played the older brother in this iconic ad for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups:    • 90's Commercials Vol. 441  )
9. Key Food (I love the animation at the beginning and end of this ad)
10. TSS Seedman's (This was a department store chain based in New York city that existed from 1918 to 1989, when it filed for bankruptcy. TSS stood for Times Square Stores)
11. "The First Christmas" Commercial Bumper (The 1975 Rankin Bass special)
12. Toys R Us (Featuring My Child Dolls)
13. TV Spot for "Lady & The Tramp" (It would be awesome to see the original CinemaScope version of this on the big screen)
14. The Wiz (Using the King Kong tragedy of 1933 to sell VCR's, almost as bad as the Toshiba Hindenburg ad in Vol. 1036!)
15. Reynolds Oven Cooking Bags
16. "The First Christmas" End Credits
17. Liquid Cheer
18. Decaffeinated Folgers
19. Promo for "Leprechaun's Christmas Gold" (One of the weirder Rankin Bass Christmas specials and probably indicative that they were running out of ideas for new ones...but I like it. It's interesting that they used Bing Crosby's version of "Christmas In Killarney" in this promo. The song is used in this special but it's not Bing's version)
20. "Year Without Santa Claus" Commercial Bumper (AHEM the actual name of the special is "The Year Without A Santa Claus")
21. Nintendo Entertainment System
22. Burger King Chicken Tenders
23. Waldbaum's
24. Trivial Pursuit
25. Buick Skyhawk (I definitely want to drive a car with a name that sounds like an 80's action TV series featuring a flying car. Wednesdays on NBC)
26. Nuprin (With Mason Adams)
27. Caldor
