Apparently, people didn’t listen to Bob Hope. So many years of buying shoddy merchandise from China and other countries has decimated our manufacturing base in the United States. Our economic situation would be much stronger today if we hadn’t destroyed our own workforce.
This television commercial dates to 1986.
Here is a cloyingly annoying television commercial for Jello Pudding, with Bill Cosby shilling unhealthy chemical-ridden slop to unsuspecting children. Yes, I realize we all ate this stuff as children, but as adults, I hope we protect our kids from this tripe. 1982
Tragic! Fall of 1982, Saks Fifth Avenue shows how mid-range they can be in this television commercial with a ridiculous jingle and images of East Coast prepster clothing. Saks, we expect greater of you.
So the Yugo television commercial from 1986 claims the Volkswagen Beetle is “homely”. If only we could compare the Yugo to the Beetle. Of course, while vintage Beetles are plentiful, finding a Yugo outside a junkyard is like finding a unicorn.
Do you douche? Why, yes I do. Let’s talk inappropriately about things you would never want to know about your mother while we walk along a beach as a camera crew records us to be broadcast to millions of viewers.
Racy stuff for the 1980s
Shhh…it’s a secret, membership-only club. In 1982 Anthony Geary foolishly televised the secret club jackets, which were inexplicably popular for a few years, only to go into hiding for twenty years. The only person wearing them during the period of dormancy was Rosario, Karen Walker’s maid on Will and Grace. Because Rosario looked so spectacular in the club jacket, Memebers Only reissued and updated the jackets in 2007, now selling new ones for very high prices.
I was a member of Members Only during the 1980s, polished cotton in an ugly tan color.
52 mpg and only $5695 – amazing! I’m going out to buy a Renault. So, if this could be done in 1983 (25 years ago), why are the automakers today making such wasteful, expensive cars?
The brand-new, European-born Renault Alliance from 1983
Wendy’s produces its very own fashion show in this legendary 1980s television commercial.
Brilliant! Who could have predicted the technology advances that led to me writing this blog, where information can be instantaneously uploaded and viewed by hundreds of millions of people all over the world, less than one minute from now?
And the origins are shown here in this television commercial for Donkey Kong, which now seems rudimentary and archaic. Brilliant!
