The guy in the Honda Accord ad is Neal Anderson, four-time Pro Bowl running back. He played for the Chicago Bears for his entire career (1986-93.)

12:11 - "I don't intend to go through that hell again"...What Roy Scheider said to the producers of Jaws 2 before they showed him a big enough check.

He only did the movie only to end his contract with Universal (they counted it as two films, thus ending his contract) though he was paid substantially on top of that.

WGN 7 ‘o clock Movie Intro- Impressive Rotoscope animation throughout this intro. Coppertone- Every time I smell the scent of Coppertone Sunscreen, it always calls to mind going to either the beach or to the pool, and this commercial captures that feeling well. Nice rendition of the song, “Yakety Yak” they used as the jingle, too. Soft Scrub- I like how the color of the shirt the lady in this commercial is wearing, coordinates well with the color scheme of the Regular Soft Scrub (without Clorox Bleach) and the can of scrubbing powder.

I've been watching WGN all my life, being from Chicago. I especially loved the Jewel commercial, and that jingle has never left my brain!

Jaws’ behind the scenes story about the problems of getting the movie made is as famous as the film itself, so much so that there’s going to be a play on Broadway about it this fall.

6:01 - Once you ride it, you’ll change into someone cosplaying as Doc Brown…

Shockwave was the first coaster I ever rode, i think they replaced it with superman

Nice to see a Old Style beer commercial after seeing it multiple times in Sixteen Candles & The Breakfast Club. Chicago is one of the major cities I'd like to visit someday despite its sorted history.

Old Style - Reach For The Best! Made famous by Chicago music legend Wesley Willis as the tagline to end many of his songs (as well as other products/establishments well known to Chicago) There was another Shockwave that lasted a couple of years at Six Flags Great Adventure that started out at Magic Mountain, I remember seeing it when I went there it was one of the first standing roller coasters but it only lasted a couple of years.

The ending of Hemingway was mind-blowing! Too soon?

Jaws-one movie Hollywood should NEVER remake(well unless you count The Meg w/ Jason Statham as a "spiritual successor") Coors Light-with one of the Barbarian Brothers @ 1:16 Jet Dry-what was with the wet suits.mustve anticipated the dishwashers leaking Shockwave at Six Flags Great America-hopefully no one ate anything before getting on this

I loved Sundance drinks, I wish they’d bring it back.

Anytime I see Stacy Keech anymore, I keep expecting him to call someone a "wussy" like he did on Titus. And as for the story of Hemingway, I think of a purple Australian comedian puppet(Randy Feltface) talking about him in his stand up act.

When did Cinemax become known as Skinemax? We didn't have it in Canada but I remember the references.

@80sCommercialVault Жыл бұрын

The "Max After Dark" programming block that Cinemax became known for started in 1984...only four years after the debut of the channel. So it's pretty much always been known for it.

@80sCommercialVault I remember Max After Dark late Friday night back in the day. Always the go to for late night titillation. Unfortunately it is now a thing of the past.
