No one can deny the beauty of the 80s and 90s commercials we grew up with… They honestly remind us of the sweetness and simplicity of those days. If anyone from the 80s generation has seen the Apple ad with the amazing Ridley Scott, or remembered the Coca-Cola “Hilltop” ad and how we all sang along!! and oh, the sweetness of the Nintendo “Game Boy” ad when we played without ever getting bored or tired of it… And of course, I cant forget the Nike “Just Do It” ad, which was a sensation. As young people, no holiday would pass without getting a pair of Nike sneakers. As for perfumes, the Chanel No. 5 ad takes you back to romantic occasions and university celebrations when that was the fragrance you wanted everyone to smell in your youth. Anyone from the 80s generation who loves 80s and 90s commercials, gather around!
I agree with other posters that nostalgia and survivorship bias paint these older commercials in a rosy light, but I also believe commercials now are worse. They are less often fun and creative.

well said man… u r totally right abt ads today bein less creative. they feel like they r made by robots or smth. thx for the link, always love seein those rosy old ads… keeps the vibes alive
The demographic of who watches TV has also drastically aged… hence why most TV ads are now all medicene, luxury cars, and stuff catering to the 50-60+ demographic. Nobody under 40 watches cable TV anymore.
My family do watch cable TV, but they are in their mid 50s.
In the 90s everyone watched TV of all ages.
