80's Commercials Vol. 920

These commercials aired on MTV on March 17th, 1983

1. MTV Station ID
2. MTV Promo
3. Star Wars: Jedi Arena for Atari 2600 (It's always neat to post a video game ad that I haven't seen before)
4. Close-Up Toothpaste
5. MTV Station ID (A parody/homage of the ending to "Altered States":    • Altered States - 1980 - Final Transformati...  )
6. MTV VJ Segment (The "videodisc" format mentioned here was the failed CED format introduced by RCA in 1981, which was already beginning to fizzle out as tape formats took over the home video market. MTV seemed to have some sort of deal to promote it around this time as they had a contest that gave away a CED player/discs later that year:    • 80's Commercials Vol. 229  )
7. Sound Suspenders
8. Take A Bite Out Of Crime PSA
9. MTV Promo
10. MTV Escape Hatch Contest (This ad was most likely played in error, as the fine print in this ad says that postcards must be received by the date that these aired)
11. "The Adventures Of The Warner Brothers" (I'm guessing this was part of a series of ads that Warner made? It's interesting to note that even by early '83 the style of the furniture and decor here is quintessentially 80's, inspired heavily by the Memphis Group: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memphis...)
12. MTV Station ID
13. MTV VJ Segment
14. Big Red (Don't think I've posted this one before...it's always great to post another version)
15. Ford Bronco II
16. INXS "Shabooh Shoobah"
17. MTV Station ID/VJ Segment (Brought to you by 7up)
18. 7up (With Geoffrey Holder)
