Miami Vice Pepsi Ad - 1985 - Full Length
NOT FOR AIR is overlaid on my PepsiCo 1985 campaign reference copy. This was so that, presumably, whoever had that recording couldn’t make public use of it (you know, like posting it on YouTube) without proper permissions. The commercial DID air in its entirity at least once on MTV and likely elsewhere (Superbowl anyone?). This is the full length version of a more common 30 second Miami Vice - Pepsi ad.

I was a complete …
I was a complete Miami Vice maniac during the 80’s. I missed recording this ad with my VCR and was so beside myself, I actually CALLED BBDO (the ad company that made it) asking if I could get a copy on tape. Needless to say I didn’t get it.
Thanks for uploading this! Now I can watch it any time.
This has to be the coolest ad ever. And yes, mosquitobight, Cruising around Miami in a Ferrari with Don Johnson and Glenn Frey WAS absolutely the coolest place in the world to be in 1985.

That was a long commercial. And i’m a Don Johnson / Eagles fan. I don’t blame network execs for editing that bad boy down to something manageable.
