These commercials aired on NBC on February 4th, 1984 and WTXX in 1984
1. Smurf-Berry Crunch Cereal
2. One To Grow On (With Dwight Schultz. Nowadays they'd be scolding Harold for playing a mean prank on his poor wimp friend)
3. Shrine Circus (While I'm sure old timey circuses like this still exist somewhere...it sure doesn't feel like it)
4. "Alvin & The Chipmunks" Commercial Bumper
5. Hi-C
6. Dream Date Barbie (What a bizarre looking dress...even going by 80's fashion standards)
7. "Alvin & The Chipmunks" Commercial Bumper
8. Fruit Chewy Fig Newtons
9. "Alvin & The Chipmunks" Commercial Bumpers
10. Cap'n Crunch (Another epic ad. With free map of Crunch Island and sticker set! I have to admit, that map looks pretty damn cool)
11. "Alvin & The Chipmunks" End Credits (Partial. I guess the person who recorded this originally wasn't a fan of the Mr. T Cartoon and skipped recording it. The portion after this is from WTXX)
12. Pac-Man Cereal (IMO the animation and character design here is way cooler and more faithful to the game than the actual Pac-Man cartoon...though it's kind of weird that the ghosts appear so friendly and happy looking)
13. Promo for "CHiPs" (I have no idea why they're calling it "CHiPs Patrol")
14. Lucky Charms
15. Cocoa Puffs (I'm sure W.C. Fields references went over big with 80's kids)
16. Trix
17. Cheerios
18. "Scooby Doo" Commercial Bumper
19. Rice Krispies
20. Pop Tarts
21. G.I. JOE Battle Bear (I guess they took their cue from the Star Wars commercials with the kids playing outside. I'm not sure if it's a great idea to play with action figures out in the snow without gloves)
22. Hot Wheels
23. Angel Face Barbie
24. Carvel Ice Cream
25. Lucky Charms
26. Promo for "Leave It To Beaver", "Woody Woodpecker", "Scooby Doo", "Masters Of The Universe" and "The Pink Panther"
27. "Scooby Doo" Commercial Bumper
28. "The New Scooby Doo Movies" End Credits
29. WTXX Station ID

The world has changed so much. Back in the 80's Gi joe, Barbies, Hot wheels playing outside and riding your bike was part of daily life as a child. Now, it's electronic this and that cell phones ipads, tablets . Staying indoors for many . Also the number of great tasting cereal directed towards kids has dwindled in amounts. Change is change. Memories are forever !!!

GrowinupinSincity81 Yes! That's right! But they didn't have those cable channels in a lot of communities until the late 80s-early 90s so it was, for many kids, the local TV channels heavy programming of "Golden Era" old-timey movies and cartoons that was super entertainment!

@80sCommercialVault 8 жыл бұрын

+MsFarzee I actually knew who W.C. Fields was as a kid, maybe not by name, but I knew of his overall character from old Disney Silly Symphonies. I still think a "modern" 80's ad referencing him is a little strange, but people did seem to watch older movies and shows more back then.

CHiPs Patrol was an alternate name for CHiPs in syndication. It was a common practice with series from the late 70s/early 80s still on their respective networks to have an alternate name for their syndicated runs to not confuse viewers (for example, The Rockford Files' syndicated name was Jim Rockford, Private Investigator) I also had no idea Henry Silva was a juggler!

@Endymion766 4 жыл бұрын

I always thought it was unfair that the poor Coco Bird, was always goaded into eating the cereal that made him wacky while he was trying to get sober, while the Trix Rabbit was always kept from the cereal that had his namesake and just wanted to partake occasionally. Trix is for kids, but Cocopuffs is for everyone. What an outrageous double standard!

I grew up in Waterbury ct during the early wtxx years (that's my wife's pic.) and I remember that bumper. I was in elementary school and when I got home it was homework then He Man. Those were the TV Pow days with TX Critter and friends. You would call in and when you seen the little video game on screen, you would say pow as if you're really shooting. My mother and step dad had gotten me Battle Armor He Man that Christmas. I had the Capn Crunch map and stickers. I put the stickers on the kitchen cabinet. Had the Smurfberry crunch cereal also. wow, childhood was cool. Thanks for posting this. I was 12 in 1984. Right on man.

The purple horseshoes were added in 1983, so they were in the cereal at the time these aired. The ad here just predates their addition to the cereal.

@@80sCommercialVault I used to beg and cry at my mom to get Lucky Charms just because it had the purple horseshoes. Turned out they were exactly like the usual marshmallows. Also, if Lucky Charms does any more commercials, they should get Jacksepticeye to do the voice of Lucky. I would love to hear his take on the character.

I also recall TV Powww in between with JJ and TX (maybe TX got that name because of ET). 5:13 I dig the way the voice over says "The Amazing Spider Man and The Incredible Hulk." :-D 5:15 That Pac Man cerial commercial sounds like it's in a cathedral. 10:44 I found it funny to hear Tom Carvel's voice in that Carvel commercial.
