    I always looked forward to this commercial whenever I watch a show.

    21 years later and the song is still catchy!

    80′s Commercials on KTVU? Man, you’re almost reducing me to tears…

    I love the 80s commercial for Chef Boyardee dinosaur pasta where the kids are hunting for dinosaurs and find them dancing around a volcano. I have to admit though that that tomato and cheese sauce tastes a bit wierd, though not terrible in my opinion.

    Keds and Nordstrom don’t seem to go together.

    Curling.

    those sliders remind me of that sport where one guy threw a thing that looked like that and the other pushed a broom in front of it. Anyone know what im talking about?

  8. Clay3613 Says:

    That KEDS commercial ripped-off a DEVO song

  9. danielledrules Says:

    the sliders commercial reminds me of the modern day bakugan commercials. I
    also found the Keds commercial very creepy.

  10. danielledrules Says:

    I totally agree with you. (there’s the Boomerang channel that plays shows from the 80s’.)

  11. ForceFagerstorm Says:

    lol at being spied on by the Russians in the Tyco commercial! Typical 80′s paranoia.

  12. PTSTelevision Says:

    GOD I miss Skyhawk.

  13. sqskyline Says:

  14. xContaminatedx Says:

    i have the donald train why would i have that if i was born in 94? i guess someone gave it to me….

  18. towhead72 Says:

    In that Anti-Drug PSA, I think it would have been perfectly fitting if that kid had added a “Duh!” after “I learned it by watching you!”

  19. CrypticVision Says:

    Fruity Pebbles aren’t that different tasting from Trix if you’ve had that.

  20. kidmclain Says:

    these commericals always put a smile on my face, some one should make an tv chaneel that plays nothing but 80s tv show all day long and for commerical break just play the 80s commericals (it won’t happen but nice to dream any way)

    Turbo Trickers was cool. But when I was growing up they had something called Penny Racers.

  22. wolton1 Says:

    omg i remember these!!!!

  23. 80sCommercialVault Says:

    There’s an awesome Donald Duck/Chip ‘n Dale cartoon called “Out of Scale” that features Donald’s large-scale model railroad. The happy meal toy was likely based partially on that.

  24. JackleTheMantle Says:

    Wait…So your saying that Donald duck doesn’t drive a car,but a fucking train?!
    That’s hardcore,man.

    Boy, I never had a doctor that really treated his or her patients that nice.
