The ’80s were brought to you by a whole bunch of questionable sponsors

The ’80s were a time of high fashion, synthetic pop beats, and the transcendence of the consumer culture. The fashions may have faded (or not, depending on what particular retro kitsch is back this week), but that need for consumption has stayed with the world ever since. What better way to remember a decade than through a montage of some of its many, many commercials? As created by YouTube user g1MisterBo, “The 80s” is a quick cut of many scenes and shots from a wide assortment of that decade’s advertisements.
