Day 3 brings Nostagic 1980s commercials remixed into synthwave video.

It’s a long watch, but it’s one of my holiday go to favorites. I’ll play it in the background while I’m doing other things, and it sets the mood. Most of the ads are from the 80s, but a lot carried into my 90s childhood, so they still feel familiar.
It reminds me of the commercials that ran between Saturday morning cartoons. Back then, the ads were part of a familiar routine, just like the shows themselves. They were selling toys, soda, and whatever else, but they were also selling the feeling of the holidays.
TV doesn’t feel the same now. The shows and commercials don’t seem to join in the season the way they used to. Even decades later, I can still quote old commercials, but very few from the past 10 or 15 years. It’s strange to say, but even though the goal of selling me something hasn’t changed, the newer ads feel soulless.
 

My favorite part is 26:44 with crazy eddie.
