Cheesy 80's commercials

speaking of retro and such, i like the 50s style! lol. i hope that one day i can start a 50s cafe (mostly for truckdrivers, as it would be located at this road that goes past our town, where the truckdrivers have to drive through)

i also like the mafia-ish style of the 30s, with the glamour and the mafiabosses, LOL.

MP&THG King Arthur and the black knight - your arm's off. No, it's not. What's that then. It's merely a flesh wound. I've had worse.

With blood spurting out.
 
I like the '40's. With the cars and fashions. But mostly I love the airplanes. P 51s and P 38s and the Supermarine Spitfires. Bf 109 was a beautiful aircraft.
 
Dan, you ever seen the original Flight Of The Phoenix? Ive seen it a billion times...funny thing, Ive been in bed all day today (first illness in 2 years) and watched it in bed on DVD. Love that movie.
 
In order to come back to the 80's commercials:

Here it is, THE (!) classic Coca Cola ad which
aired all over the world back in the late 80's (it's a little silent):


There's so much fun, hilarity and joy of living in this commercial, I don't care if it is cheesy or not.

Nowadays, and I don't know why this is the case, it is absolutely impossible to see ads like that. Not with this kind of music, not with these kind of images. Sad.
 
I have to say...that is a super cheesy 80's commercial. haha

Hey, ever go to McDonald's, and think "Gee I forgot to shave this morning..too bad McDonald's doesn't have free razors with every purchase of a hot breakfast."...WELL you cutters would love this!

 
speaking of coke-commercials, this is one from Norway (a few years back).


the song is mainly about how coke is like, you can get it in all sizes and shapes, you can drink it everywhere etc.. "for the adults, for the kids, for the singles, for the lovers" etc haha :D a very catchy song, and it was broadcast around late spring i think, so everyone was in a good mood and kept singing it.. lol! now it's history of course.

OH and i think the song is actually danish or something. we just "borrowed" it (hehe) and made it norwegian of course :)

Maybe it's just me, but i can never stand how they show people so hyped up and jubilant over soda, potato chips,,etc. There must be something pretty special in the drink..
 
The Gilette / McDonalds commercial is very funny. So he's going there each and every day in order to have the unique opportunity to shave himself? Alright...

The thing you mentioned about being hyped up over sweets and fat: that's the other side of the coin. It conveys the wrong impression of being in a good mood once the sugar is floating through your body.

For example this commercial:


First I thought, this was a funny commercial but then I thought that unhealthy fast food should not be offered to children / pupils like that. "Problems in school? We all have them. So let's have a burger and a coke and everything will be alright."
