You can find almost ANYTHING on you tube these days! I found some pretty awesome tv commercials that made me smile.
Get in shape girl!
This one includes a couple of commercials from Saturday morning Supercade. I especially like the McDonalds one!
Poochie, that's who!
My Buddy and MEEEEEEEEE!
Who could forget this Tootsie Roll commercial?
Who wears short shorts?
Remember these little commercial "bumpers" for cartoons in the 80s?

Monday Music Videos
Remember when MTV still played videos? Or even before that, remember Friday Night Videos? On yesterday's post, I revealed that I believe the cheesiest song of the 80s was "Let's Go All the Way" by Sly Fox. I'm going to back that up even further by showing the cheesy video as well! I will include some other ones that might bring back some memories of the original MTV!
"Don't Switch the blade on the guy in shades, oh no
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades, oh no"
And drink some cherry wine, uh huh!
I especially liked it when the traffic announcer comes on in the middle of the song! For some reason that only happened on the radio and not in the video. But, you know what I'm talking about!
I love her freestyle dancing! It really adds to the video!
Haha, this one even had a dedication. Would you EVER dedicate this song to anyone? OMG!
Now, don't get me wrong, I did jam out to these songs! However, the videos were ridiculous! Gotta love the 80s!
