Watch Hours of '80s and '90s TV Commercials
The Internet Archive posted a large archive of TV commercials that ran during Saturday morning cartoons (or other cartoon content) in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Here's one video, selected at random, showing ten minutes of commercials circa March 1989. Enjoy:
And here's my rundown of the ads in the video above:
- NBC "Come Home to the Best" ad
- Tonight on Disney: Gizmoduck on Super DuckTales (animated Easter special)
