The first few are local commercials from a network station. Most of the others are national spots. Enjoy.

Also, how old were you in 1985? I was 8.

I was 5. I always wondered why popular commercials aren't recycled. I think things like the Noid, the Little Caesar guy, and "Where's the Beef" would be popular with people who were kids at the time.

I was 20 then. I remember a lot of that stuff. Seeing the Toyota Supra in the commercial brings back good memories. Back when MTV actually showed videos and it launched many a career for hot girls in videos

Remember the M&M commercial leading to some epic games of bike hockey in my neighborhood.

How bad is it that the new cars look like old used cars even though they are brand new?

I agree. Bring back the Noid, the Norelco Santa, and "Where's the Beef"!

Yeah why can't we get some Max Headroom commercials these days? They can just replay the old ones. Would be cool. I'd even like to see old Ronald McDonald dancing around with kids like a weirdo again.

They avoided the Noid. Seems like the smart play.

Jesus, we were just a different country then. What happened to us? These commercials explain it all.

She would probably be much more attractive without the crazy hair and makeup.
