80's Commercials Vol. 161

These aired on WTTV in August of 1988.  Thanks to Corey for recording these and sending them my way.

1. "Jem" Commercial Bumper
2. "When Lines Are Down Don't Hang Around" PSA (With the voice of Jack Sheldon from "Schoolhouse Rock".  Were the dangers of downed power lines really enough of a concern back then to warrant a PSA?  I like to think that I would have been smart enough to know common sense stuff like this without being told)
3. Count Chocula Monster Mallows (With free Starburst candy inside!)
4. "Jem" Commercial Bumper
5. Honey Smacks
6. G.I. Joe X-Wing Helicopter and Mean Dog (Seriously...X-Wing?  Really original name there, guys)
7. Mr. Potato Head (And his bucket of farts.  With Raven Simone?)
8. "Jem" Commercial Bumper
9. Magic Message My Little Pony (One of the ponies' secret messages simply said "HELP ME".  Dark!)
10. Smooshees
11. Indianapolis Fall Boat & RV Show
12. "Jem" Commercial Bumper
13. Twizzlers
14. Cheerios (Wow, totally different animation style than the others in this series)
15. "Be A Superstar" (Jem should mind her own damn business.  The kid's in pain!  Let him have an Oxycontin or three)
16. "Jem" Commercial Bumper
17. Corn Pops (I wonder how many incidents of Corn Pops related violence there were during the 80's?  And OMG at the pan flute!)
18. Pop Tarts (With free binoculars!)
19. Quaker Oats (With Wilford Brimley!!!!!!!!!!)
