Whew. We were planning to throw together a quick compilation of our five favorite commercials from way back in the 1980s, but then we found more…and more…and more. Eventually we just had to stop so we could get this monstrous thing posted before the weekend. So without further ado, with minimal commentary, we hereby count down the top 50 commercials from the 1980s. (At least until we can find that great one for some children’s cough medicine with a little girl saying “It’ll hurt if I swallow! It’ll hurt if I swallow!” Why are we the only sick bastards who remember that?)

If we’ve left your favorite off the list, throw it in the comments to the right and once we’ve gotten some sleep we’ll get to work on a sequel.
