So, one of my VHS/Beta collecting pals had this for a while, and after telling him how rare this is, he finally uploaded it!
Savor that sweet, sweet new shelf/portrait footage, folks. It’s no “All American Pizza Show”, but this is very well the earliest PTT commercial that has surfaced!
**ADMIN EDIT from The 64th Gamer, this is footage of Concord’s interior and Citrus Heights’ bots, and is the lost 1980 PTT Spot we’ve been waiting years for!!!
WHAA? This is Insane! This might actually be the year of lost media. Early FF bots, Concord (I assume due to the layout & The bots looking even smaller/more primitive than Sacramento’s). IDK what to say this is beautiful.
Thanks for ripping it, this is probably the most mysterious PTT commercial (The 1980 one), and we have it now
@The-64th-Gamer NEW SHELF DATA!
Ok I looked at photos of the early stores and think it’s actually probably Citrus Heights, since Concord had different walls and Sacramento had slightly different bots.
Ok after watching it like 10 times I think Citrus or Concord. I now see the walls, but they still don’t look like Concord, but some parts of the layout do.
Nvm after rechecking ANOTHER 10 Times, it’s 100% citrus.
You can thank my friend Doodles for ripping this!! Check out their content if you enjoy old TV content like myself.
I’m gonna just ping someone real quick. Don’t mind.
@CyberSnout 1980 Commercial BETA Shelf footage.
Wow! This is amazing! Thank you for sharing this @viciousv
Someone on the Pasqually’s Amateur Hour Discord I showed this to, literally two seconds before you replied btw, noted that there was stairs in the footage, so yes it is indeed Concord.
Citrus Heights is the only other Store that it could be
Stockton had Wood walls, Sacramento had no Jasper Wrinkles, And Huntington also had wood walls.
Either Concord, Citrus, or a post-79 location.
Okay, so after talking with people who are far more knowledgeable on this. The interior footage is Concord, CA. The animatronics are of another location. potentially PTT Corps
WE’RE SO BACK! 2026 has been a pretty great year for lost media so far
I just want to point out Sally was guest star in Citrus at this point. We could have seen here if they just moved the camera to the right of Chuck.
NO WAY if its this commercial this is crazy
It 100% is. Everything matches timeline-wise. Also finished the article for that commercial
I re-read the text in the Document. It mentions spotS and commercialS.
Are there Multiple of them?!
Just Means different timing, like 15 30 60s spots
Would a commercial that’s only a minute long take two days to shot though?
I mean… makes sense if it was shot at different locations. I wouldn’t be surprised if their schedule was to film as much as they could at each location.
I wonder how much they filmed?
Maybe Sally Footage was filmed and it’s lost forever. Maybe even Lounge Helen.
I would doubt they would go into Citrus, and Just film the main 4 Only.
Ohhh.. Jasper seems to have a different mask.. uh.. paintjob??
It’s nothing like the other masks as there’s no smile there (or if there is one, just REALLY hard to see it.)
