So I am 83 and remember that a lot of these were "tongue-in-cheek" in that they knew that they were making fun of a possibly embarrassing subject, but with humor. Possibly not funny today, but gave some smiles in the yesteryear.
The fact that the ads had been used had shown just how men and society including many women at the time too had seen things. I know you say that it is "tongue in cheek", BUT, had a man been shown negatively in ads, there would have been a BIG problem. Joking or not. But, men had been in charge of the advertising businesses back then, so, NO way would that happen. Women had also judged other women harshly back then. Even jokingly, showing a woman being spanked by her husband for using instant coffee really was REALLY a fouler than hell image to joke about. If you can't see my point, just imagine a woman spanking a man for anything. laughing at it makes it all okay to make a grown woman get reduced to shame for something so stupid. i guess that if you are 83, you will NEVER see my point anyway. And they are OLD ads, made back when most men had no respect for women anyway.
@@juliegogola4647 Your point is moot. For a bevy of reasons. But we both know it boils down to modern sensibilities. And for someone crying so much about discrimination you sure seem mighty proud of yourself to discriminate. Or did you not know that "age" is also a protected status?
@@doyoulikeduckmeat I brought up the guys AGE to say that back when HE was young, women were NOT respected, NOT to put him down for being old. Can you NOT see that?

6:10 The "cordless massager" ad was crazy. That one was a full page ad that ran in a bunch of women's decorating magazines back in the late 60's/early 70's. The picture was hot and the text of the ad was pretty crazy too pretending to be completely innocent, lol

When I was in highschool, I was the woman in wood shop class. I had a great teacher, that didn't say I couldn't do it. The boys in the class said a girl is to stupid for that class. I taught them how to use saws, and work with wood. They told me sorry. I was the only one to pass with a perfect score.
I was part of an experimental all boys cooking class in fifth grade. We made everything from scratch then had to eat it. It sure came in handy over the decades since, sure impressed a lot of dates. (along with what I learned from reading my ex's Cosmo magazines)

@@dragoncubes1074 Yes, it's a contemporary satire on the volume of merchandise that came out at the time and how licences to use the Star Wars brand were handed out to all sorts of unlikely things. Several of the ads in this video are modern jokes.

The when to give coke to child one reminds of my childhood as learned from my childhood doctor and my parents. I was very young, less than two. I developed a high fever and could not hold down food. The doctor said he never did figure out what I had but that I was very ill. He told my parents that I would need to be hospitalized. He told my parents, though, to try and give me a few drops of Coke and see if perhaps that would stay down. It did and I started crying for more. I was well enough within two hours that I was not admitted. I did get quite hooked on coke quite quickly.
Carbonation has long been known as a cure for upset stomachs. In fact it is still a very common remedy. Alka-Seltzer comes to mind every time I have an upset stomach.
Coco-Cola was first developed as a stomachache remedy. As was Pepsi. Depends upon how old you are, but the earliest version of Coca-Cola had cocaine in it.

Yep back in the old days people manned up and wore masks - not like the cupcakes today who whine endlessly about wearing a mask and their precious freedom (whatever THAT means !)
Not one of those adverts were politically incorrect. They did in their day, do exactly what advertising does today. Sell useless shit to idiots. The difference is, today people get bent out of shape over everything.
I knew about the beer and mothers knowing best but I had no idea it was an advert because it came from my granny who fully believed in it...bless the old gal, but instead of beer I grew up on whiskey because it was what she preferred to drink.🤣🍻
I find modern commercials / advertisements offensive, any one with 1/2 a mind can see they are political, and social engendering driven. With no entertainment value at all. Well maybe except fore the yellow emew or little green lizard! Love these old adds God, I had fun growing up! 62yrs!
Agree with you 👍🏻 remember the cream egg ad from couple of years ago with the 2 doughnut punchers sucking them out of each others mouths? And the Christmas John Lewis ad with a young boy skipping around in a bloody dress and make up? Sickening that this is all now classed as normal behaviour. No wonder that kid's are so messed up these days.
Problem is, they don't just have the problem, they conveniently have the solution, too. And, they've created both. First the solution, then the problem. And every solution always removes a little more freedom from us, and adds a little more power for them.
I wanted to see more on that topic. My wife could use another ironing board. Do you suppose that there are instructions to fit wives for other housekeeping tools and accessories?
The R2D2 Enema Set for the back end, and the R2D2 Catheter for the front. And if you need a new ticker, get the Darth Vader Pacemaker. Plays the Cantina Band music when there's trouble with your ticker! Not kidding, those were all real.
Ya think THESE are offensive (by today's weak, whiny, PC standards 🤣)? An ad from the 1860s said, "Winchester Rifles Make BAD Indians GOOD!" True story.
Have you ever seen the cartoon when a Mom is entertaining her friends and her kid comes in wearing a strap on proclaiming "look Mom, I am a rhinoceros!" It's hilarious the look of horror on the mom's face!!!
People weren’t offended back in the day like they are today. It was no big deal back in the 50s and 60s. Now, you have to be so careful not to hurt anyone’s feelings. It’s fucking absurd!
Some are known or obvious fakes, others are cute, many unfashionable, others obsolete...but I don't find any of them offensive. I'm sure they did their advertising job pretty well. Look, they're still getting attention all this time later!
There is a common misconception that Listerine was used because women were told their vaginas were dirty. This is not true. It was actually used as a contraception, right after sex, to kill sperm, and it mostly worked, but it was important to get the dosage right, as it was dangerous in certain dosages and circumstances. Modern birth control is much safer and better. Adding to the confusion, is that Listerine tried to get around the sensitive topic of birth control by calling it "feminene" hygiene, which may have created the misconception that women needed to be clean down there.
_Remember, if you're offended nothing will happen, you don't have to worry or go the hospital. In fact you can just carry on with your day as normal_ 🐢💨

@@paulbats6996 I wasn't equating drinking or smoking with " manliness" I meant that despite their bad habits they lived a long time, case in point- I was in a diner years ago and this woman who was in her late 80's was smoking at the counter,( back when you could do that), she told me she's been smoking a pack a day for the past 50 years! My goodness, and look at the strength and longevity of actors like Burt Lancaster and that other dude,( forgot his name), etc.

Dr Batty's Asthma Cigarettes are not recommended for children under six. (4:49)
Good advice Dr Batty. Children shouldn't start smoking until age six. 🤣
it probably was made from a weed called cowboy toilet paper. It is still used today.
They did not contain tobacco, my dad used them. They stunk up the whole house when he smoked one
@@dw3403 Ok, if it was weed then starting before six is cool.
Poor children, why you don't want them start smoking until age six? This is discriminating. They just have to chose another cigarette brand.
@@Neldot Cigarettes? There are a lot more fun things to smoke. Come on, give the kids what they really want.

Bill Blass perfume is one of the best smelling ones in my humble opinion. Love love love the way it smells. Wife used to wear it. A girl in the office wore it. I surprised her one day by saying "Hello there Miss Bill Blass!" She loved the compliment.
The first one: They stopped that advertising campaign when women started asking why they should put something inside themselves that they also used to mop their kitchen and bathroom floors.
christ I didn't even register that that's what the ad is implying. I can't imagine how many infections, rashes, uti's, and other damage was done. You aren't even supposed to clean that place with normal soap because that will cause irritation, let alone disinfectant.
5:24 I can't believe stuffed girls heads were selling for $2.98 back then. They've hardly gone up in price after all these years. Wallmart had some on sale last week for $3.49. Must be hard making money in the stuffed girls heads business.

The when to give coke to child one reminds of my childhood as learned from my childhood doctor and my parents. I was very young, less than two. I developed a high fever and could not hold down food. The doctor said he never did figure out what I had but that I was very ill. He told my parents that I would need to be hospitalized. He told my parents, though, to try and give me a few drops of Coke and see if perhaps that would stay down. It did and I started crying for more. I was well enough within two hours that I was not admitted. I did get quite hooked on coke quite quickly.
it was probably the caffeine plus bubbly soda like ginger ale really is good for a sick kid with fever, vomiting etc.
Carbonation has long been known as a cure for upset stomachs. In fact it is still a very common remedy. Alka-Seltzer comes to mind every time I have an upset stomach.
Coco-Cola was first developed as a stomachache remedy. As was Pepsi. Depends upon how old you are, but the earliest version of Coca-Cola had cocaine in it.
Ah, the old cordless massager …

Amen!
Too right .👍👍👍
We’re all winners
Couldn't agree more! 😊👍
Yep back in the old days people manned up and wore masks - not like the cupcakes today who whine endlessly about wearing a mask and their precious freedom (whatever THAT means !)
Not one of those adverts were politically incorrect. They did in their day, do exactly what advertising does today. Sell useless shit to idiots. The difference is, today people get bent out of shape over everything.
Where do I get some of those Action Pants?
I knew about the beer and mothers knowing best but I had no idea it was an advert because it came from my granny who fully believed in it...bless the old gal, but instead of beer I grew up on whiskey because it was what she preferred to drink.🤣🍻
5:43 Bayer: "The best substitute for aspirin is heroin!"
Geez, Bayer, can I work my way up? Maybe smoke a little weed first?
No gateway drugs for you!
Streight to the top or bottom
Heroin is an excellent analgesic. When taken in moderation. Just don’t abuse it…..like any drug. A little common sense can go a long way.
I find modern commercials / advertisements offensive, any one with 1/2 a mind can see they are political, and social engendering driven. With no entertainment value at all. Well maybe except fore the yellow emew or little green lizard! Love these old adds God, I had fun growing up! 62yrs!
Agree with you 👍🏻 remember the cream egg ad from couple of years ago with the 2 doughnut punchers sucking them out of each others mouths? And the Christmas John Lewis ad with a young boy skipping around in a bloody dress and make up? Sickening that this is all now classed as normal behaviour. No wonder that kid's are so messed up these days.
Politics has a problem for every solution. An enemy for every friend.
Problem is, they don't just have the problem, they conveniently have the solution, too. And, they've created both. First the solution, then the problem. And every solution always removes a little more freedom from us, and adds a little more power for them.
I'm guessing anyone offended by the 4:26 "now a women can sharpen a pencil" couldn't actually sharpen a pencil with a knife.
The "How to measure your wife for an ironing board" is actually quite funny. LOL
I wanted to see more on that topic. My wife could use another ironing board. Do you suppose that there are instructions to fit wives for other housekeeping tools and accessories?
The R2D2 Enema Set for the back end, and the R2D2 Catheter for the front.
And if you need a new ticker, get the Darth Vader Pacemaker. Plays the Cantina Band music when there's trouble with your ticker!
Not kidding, those were all real.
But where is the Princess Leia douch bag?
Ya think THESE are offensive (by today's weak, whiny, PC standards 🤣)? An ad from the 1860s said, "Winchester Rifles Make BAD Indians GOOD!" True story.

There is a common misconception that Listerine was used because women were told their vaginas were dirty. This is not true. It was actually used as a contraception, right after sex, to kill sperm, and it mostly worked, but it was important to get the dosage right, as it was dangerous in certain dosages and circumstances. Modern birth control is much safer and better. Adding to the confusion, is that Listerine tried to get around the sensitive topic of birth control by calling it "feminene" hygiene, which may have created the misconception that women needed to be clean down there.
My gran confirmed the using of Lysol for douching
I will stick to Massengil thank you. But I heard about women using Lysol in the days of yore.
@@yakkityyak9336 ouch seems it would really burn

None of these ads shock you? Not even the Iver Johnson revolvers one? The kid of about 5 lies in her bed with her doll next to her and a gun in her hand that is "not a toy" and "shoots straight and kills".
That is insane. The others are just horribly misogynistic. We're better off now. Please tell me you're not really a doctor. It is possible to converse with another person - if you're not a maniac.
