You've come a long way baby...."What a big beautiful diamond, your fiancé must be really rich"
...or have we? Ad fan Kariann sent us this scan of an ad she found in a 1980's womens fashion magazine. An early example of that "two months salary" rule - yikes. These days DeBeers pushes right hand rings to women, since nobody is getting married anymore. ;)
Full ad with all the horrible copy inside.
Fedex - Pick up the phone - (1980) :10 (USA)
Mike Solomon as the man who "picks up the phone"
Calvin Klein Jeans - Brooke Shields / Reading is to the mind... - (1980) :30 (USA)
....what Calvins are to the body.
Calvin Klein Jeans - Brooke Shields Survival of the fittest - (1980) :60 (USA)
Brooke teaches us a thing or two about genetics.
Calvin Klein Jeans - Brooke Shields / Remember Forget - (1980) :10 (USA)
More words of wisdom from Brooke.

Budweiser - The Budweiser Tastebuds / Blues Buds - (1980) :30 (USA)
Paul Masson wine - Myth / Orson Welles - (1980) :30
This the ad those infamous drunk outtakes are from, which you can clearly hear in the terrible VO-dub job. Orson Welles refutes the myth of French superiority in wine, as Pal Masson is French, thus the wine is just as good.
Toys R Us - I Don't wanna grow up / Toys'r'us kid - (1980) :30 (USA)
See child stars Jenny Lewis, Jaleel White, and Lindsay Price sing along to the "I don't wanna grow up" jingle. Classic.
PSA: Childhood immunization - Star wars (1980)
Listen to R2D2 and C3P0 - you should have your shots.
Yuban - Pot ? - (1980) :30 (USA)
Sitting in front of the fireplace having a nice cup of coffee... Sure I'll have more, if there's some left in the pot he says. "Pot?" Silly handsome man, Yuban is instant coffee. He doesn't believe her.
Clapper - Cap On ! Clap Off! - (1980s) (USA)
You know the song! Clap On! *clap clap* Clap Off!
IBM - Typing Will Never Be The Same Again (1980) - 0:30 (USA)
Pittsburgh Natinoal Bank (regional) (1980) - 0:30 (USA)
