VIDEO: Check Out This Gap Commercial From 1981—and 9 More Super-Iconic Gap TV Commercials

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

The folks over at LuckyMag.com have put together a brilliant round-up of the Gap's most iconic commercials—and the list kicks off with this, a $15.95 holiday ad from 1981. It's like a whole other Gap, isn't it? Almost like today's Old Navy. Don't miss the Run DMC spot, the Madonna and Missy Elliott ad, and the limited-run Seattle-only Spike Jonze Gap commercial. Amazing.
