Early 80's Commericals

Thanks to my friend Stefan who suggested the only way to watch Jaws is not in HD but "on VHS recorded on WPIX in 1979 with the commercials" I'm now recalling videos I watched as a kid that were recorded from TV and the catchy commercials they contained. I recall a Burger King commercial from the early 80's. I'm wondering just how much of the detail I recall and I'd love to find it on YouTube. I'll have to dig out my tapes of The Amazing Spider-Man (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076975/) with Nicholas Hammond. I had The Deadly Dust (Parts 1 and 2) and The Chinese Web (Parts 1 and 2). Come to think of it I think I had a crush on Rosalind Chao.

Anyway so far the only commercials I'm finding are with celebrities before they were celebrities.

Emmanuel Lewis was 23 here.

I had all these and broke 3 out of the 4.

Watching 80's TV Shows

So I'm checking out some 80's TV shows on Netflix and recalling things I grew up seeing. Decided to get on YouTube and see if I can find commercials and promos for some of these shows. As some of you know from firsthand experience you can get easily sidetracked and lost in other videos while searching on YouTube. Some how I went from TV promos from the 80's to soccer fatalities. That's right, videos of players dying on the field. I had no idea there were so many. One player looked fine and just dropped dead, another took a headbutt to the temple and I presume died, another had a seizure and in doing so did a dance that Michael Jackson couldn't do if he were alive or came back from the dead just to moonwalk..

Just sitting here going "holy $@#%!" and then shaking my head and saying to myself, why did I login?

Oh yeah... 80's TV promos.

"...fast cars and slow blondes."
