Holy Batman reunion! Julie Newmar (Catwoman) in the Monkees commercial, Frank Gorshin (Riddler) in the Hollywood Vice Aquad commercial…. ummm… and that’s it.
I’m pretty sure your comment on the Monkees is satire but the interwebz makes that hard to tell sometimes. Love these collections, thanks for posting. Sweet Nostalgia
I was the biggest nerd growing up. Almost everyone I knew watched MTV in the 1980′s, everyone except ME. I SOOOO regret not watching MTV in the 80′s. Today the network has just gone to hell!
a lot of memories with these. I can’t believe that mtv had the monkees on! I used 2 watch the monkees all the time when I was little because I had a crush on davy jones. (lol) the monkees actually made a pretty cool/tripped movie call “head” that I seen not too long ago…
I am so angry at MTV for not keeping their shit together.There was a time when you couldn’t be cooler then MTV. I don’t care who or what you were…you just couldn’t do it.Now it is nothing but tv shows with losers hookin’ up.
So, yeah…the YM ad. “Sure I like guys, but sometimes I have questions.” Perhaps I’m a bit perverse, but that sounds a lot to me like she just came out during a magazine ad.
The ASA ad… “it’s fundamental!” No, it’s just plain mental. Thank you, drive through.

@Lesrevesdhiver MTV didn’t exist until 1981.
Mtv when first aired around 1979 kicked ass but it got shittier over time.
7. Cool Mtn. Dew commercial with those monster trucks…
Lots of epic 80s moments here! Cool MTV station IDs!
TEAR INTO EM NOW NABISCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats epic too!
HERB! Never has such a marketing campaign took such a FAIL as this one did for Burger King.
@atomofish Yeah that certainly had some 80s style, and some cool animation!
You better not lay a finger on myyy Butterfinger (Especially YOU Dolenz!)
wow i was a month old
@80sCommercialVault Weren’t the soda cans thicker back then? That could account for the larger size can having the same volume of liquid.
The Yamaha DX100! Now you can create the dreadful, plastic sounds of Starship’s “We Built This City” in the privacy of you own home!
And is that the great Sid Haig I spot in the Hollywood Vice Squad trailer?
was that Danny Dark voicing the spot for Hollywood Vice Squad?
2:44 to 3:08 is one of my all-time favorite 80′s commercials.
I am pretty sure that is Louise Robey (Friday the 13th the series) in the American Sewing Association commercial. What do you guys think?
Ahhhhh… poor Herb. He was the Burger King campaign that never quite took off… in fact I recall that he was a big flop.
Love the animated MTV IDs here!
this aired a couple of months before i was born.
YM mag ad w/ those awesome outfits FTW
1:35 You can see the prop stick in the shot for the Butterfinger commercial, not sure if anyone else noticed that.
I think I used to get that ym magazine.
6. Promo for “The Monkees” (They were a huge influence on the Beatles). Lol, Dumb&Dumber FTW

1:41 Holy shoulder pads!!
@siamesemeg : that does remind me of The Stig from TOP GEAR on the keyboards! ha!
Carrie Fisher (AKA Princess Leia) at 3:25 still looked really good!
