Any 80's kids remember these commercials ?
 

Some of the ones I just watched that sent me down memory lane. Post some that you remember and prove that advertising to kids works if we still remember them this long down the road.





I also remember the He-Man slime commercial because I begged my mom for it but she never gave in because of the mess it would cause on the carpet.

These two are probably early 90's -

I sure do... remember this show on nickelodeon




:upsidedow:upsidedow:upsidedow

totally..my mom even bought the picture pages for us..it was actually on before Nick but they then picked it up.

I knew Bill Cosby for that and Fat Albert way before I knew he was a comedian. In fact, I think that is why I held him mentally in a bit higher place in my mind for years and let him sell me pudding pops.

Between picture pages and Reading Rainbow, I would get a lot of good stuff in my brain first thing in the morning.

I was thinking of the Kool Aid ones too...I sang the bologna song the other day and my British husband thought I was even more mental than normal. But then, they don't even sell bologna over here so what do they know..lol

Wow..anybody remember Mr. Yuck..no wonder I had a complex!

My mom had those green stickers all over the place. I think my Nana's place might still have some on a couple cupboard doors.

Look for mortadella. I do not care what they say or call it. It takes 100% like bologna. OK slightly better but still the damn same.

damn i remember all of them :(

Wow. Those bring back some real memories. I had a couple of madballs. I had the one that was just an eye and a couple of others. A friend of mine has the greyskull castle and I was pretty jealous :)

Yeah, you have just recently been able to get that in Uk supermarkets but it isn't cheap. Posh bologna..lol The whole point is to remind me of my white trash days.

Technically it is Italian, not Polish. Then to make matters worse Mortadella was invented in the town Bologna.
So pretty sure it is pretty much what they brought to the US. It is just as ghetto tasting, unless your parents also got the giant chunks inside of the red plastic casing that you had to self cut. Then yes that was ubber ghetto, but been there done that.

It is sold as Italian here. You have always been able to buy a sort of version of the casing one over here but they call it polony. It isn't exactly the same but just as low class as the stuff I grew up around.

If I am going to eat a sausage like that, the PA dutch gal in me has to make it ring bologna. It is nearly always on offer at any social gathering my Nana throws.

Not only do I remember. I also had all of those toys. :1orglaugh

You bring back great memories Sarah!

Somebody I knew in high school had a summer job during college driving the Weiner mobile.

80's was awesome!

Not sure this is from the 80`s but its pretty...well..weird..

would have to say that one missed me by..lol

I was too young for that actual commercial but I did have a spirograph. Anybody remember the paint splatter thing that was a bit like it?

I am playing with my lite brite right now.

damn you Sara, I need to work not look back into time!! LOL God these bring back mem's

Nothing like going down memory lane!!! :)

damn those bring back some old school memories

Consider it research into how to really make advertising stick.

No, I do not remember such things. I am too young to remember this.

How about Captain Mark?

you are all missing the best one! "WHERES THE BEEF"

Anybody remember the McDonald's one which was all about saying all the ingredients on the big mac in one breath? They even put out a record with it on to practice.

POwer flash backs...

I have ridden in the wienermobile. Right after I graduated high school (1989) some friends and I took a four day trip to the beach to camp and celebrate. On our way there we see a grocery store that is celebrating its grand opening and they have the wienermobile there. So we stop to take some pics. The guy that drives it lets us in and takes for a spin around the block. Let me tell you, this is a luxury wiener! The thing was like a limo inside and was very cool. The guy that drove it said it was a chick magnet. It was one of those odd, funny and memorable days.

I am pretty sure I have never seen that before. Was it an American show?

You graduated in 1989? You have always come off younger than that to me..in a good way.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

good shit

Castle Greyskull kicked ass!

He-Man..

I only knew a couple kids who actually had the castle. It was like the boy version of the Barbie dream house.

I guess that is a good thing. . . but yeah, this year was my 20th high school reunion. I'm getting old :)

The He-Man commercial just broke my heart...

Anyone else ever have a smaller, more gullible cousin who would get a light bright peg stuck in their nose?
;-)

anyone else have these??

i need to learn to embeed youtube

arggggggggg

Little sister....hehe

Though, most of my Lite Brite memories are of my mother having one fit after another about me not burning down the house while using it.

I graduated in '95 ..which these days means I am getting old too.

Okay i need to relearn the internet

Wow. I graduated in 1984 from a small all-girl's catholic school in Hawaii. What's funny is all the stuff I wore in high school when that New Wave/Punk look was in style and now it's come back around! Now that's feelin' old! Lol

50 omg how i loved my lite brite!!!
