Yeah. You can see how people were being brainwashed back then.

It's a guilty pleasure for me to watch old TV commercials from when I was a kid. Some clips even have the local retailers who made their own commercials.
Paul from The Diamond Center - Met him!
Pat McCormick from Dialing for Dollars - Met him!
Bob Wilkins from Creature Feature - Met him!
I usually just let it play in the background but sometimes I can get lost when I see commercials I remember seeing them when they werr new. I can almost smell the atmosphere in my parents living room and even if for a second or two vividly remember another time we will never experience again. It's good to go back sometimes.

Yes. I love commercials. I should say that I love making fun of them and how pathetic people must be to allow them to sway their spending habits.

You ain't pushing any black pills I didn't take back in the early Eighties.
It is a clip of mostly television commercials with a couple of news breaks. It is for nostalgia, not accuracy of new reporting.
The real question is how many of these did you feel like we're JUST running like a few years ago?
