The decade of excess, the "Me" decade: no matter what you called it, the 80s was a peculiar decade packed with flavor and originality. Cranking out more icons and memories than you can shake a stick at, revisit the 80s here with tons of 80s TV commercials and show intros, from a time when imagination had no limits.
The decade that introduced a whole new generation of slackers and lazy Gen-X'ers: the 90s had attitude; breaking free from New Wave to embrace grunge, hip-hop and techno. See the progression of pop culture and values in the many commercials and TV shows displayed in this section.

This is the original commercial for The Clapper, a fad that's been around since the 1980s. It can turn electrical items plugged into it on and off with two claps.
