Friday, 3 August 2012 by Unknown

Remember when MTV was all about the music? So do we. To mark MTV’s birthday on this day in 1981 we’ve gathered a cool collection of vintage promo spots.
Often strange, sometimes grotesque, but always creative, MTV’s ads were a popular trademark feature of the channel back in the day.

 Take a trip back in time through our video gallery above. Let us know in the comments below which onesyou remember — and be sure to link us to your favorites.
