Commercial for Bugle Boy, New Wave-commodifying mall clothes from the 1980s

1984 - Bugle Boy - Not Thriller Commercial


When I was 13, I unsuccessfully lobbied my dad to buy me Bugle Boy clothes from Merry-Go-Round. The closest I got was a pair of knock-off parachute pants. This Bugle Boy TV commercial from 1984 makes me grateful that shortly after my brief parachute pants phase I became distracted by the Dead Kennedys and The Damned. (via r/ObscureMedia)
