“Is 1984’s “The Jordache Look” the most 80s commercial?”
Commercial? Damn son, that’s the most 80’s I’ve seen packed into one spot since Wrestlemania 3!

Speaking of the 1980s. here’s my absolute most favorite Elton John song. As I’ve gotten older it speaks to me. But it’s pretty 1980s.
Though I admit that it’s my only favorite Elton John song since I don’t actually like the rest of his work… Unless we count Biz Markie’s version of Bennie and the Jets.

That Jordache commercial with Molly Ringwald is a bit fucked up.

both the cringe-inducing dialogue and the not-even-trying-to-hide-it bite:
Molly: end-of-movie Claire
First Guy: Brian
Second Guy: Andy
Girl: beginning-of-movie-Claire

Totes. Welcome to the 80’s. It was a weird time to be a teenager.
