One of the best 2014 Super Bowl commercials was this spot for RadioShack, which paid tribute to the most beloved stars, songs, trends and fads of the 1980s.
You know, the decade in which you last walked into a RadioShack.
The electronics chain, which is somehow still in business, pokes fun at its own reputation as a chain from the '80s that is somehow still in business.
From Hulk Hogan to Chucky, the '80s invade and ransack a typical RadioShack store to ensure that going forward, they will no longer be stuck in the past.
Pretty clever angle, and sure to make all children of the '80s smile ...
The company's Super Bowl commercial was an smorgasbord of nostalgia, randomness and laughs, and it got us talking, so it was money well spent.
Assuming the Shack actually has something new to offer, at least.
Check out this bulleted list of every '80s reference involved (18, by our count, in a single minute of uber-expensive air time), and see if we missed any:
Loverboy, "Working for the Weekend"
Olympic champion Mary Lou Retton
Jason, Friday the 13th
Kid 'n Play
Teen Wolf (the original, not the current MTV version)
This is beyond adorable. Budweiser has managed to melt our hearts with another Super Bowl commercial.
