Haha I felt that way too I was always jumped on by MLM people or colleagues shoving their expensive products on me lol I think I bought 1 for Christmas to my Mother, it felt so luxurious lol
I was born in 1967, so a few of these I haven't seen before. Thank you for sharing these. It's ironic because back then commercials were frustrating to watch, but now decades later these same commercials bring back so many wonderful childhood memories, experiences, moments, and overall feelings of youth. Ironic that now I will sit through close to an hour of them and love every second of it.
It's nice to be able to see old TV shows, but the icing on the cake is the vintage commercials. I've been tracking down commercials from the 50's and on that have nice songs and/or music. There are many of them and commercials from back then had the best by far.
My partner pointed this out about me as well. When companies respected their customers, it really showed in the advertising. Keep that in mind when you see modern ads- that's all they think of us.
It's like ASMR for me, that trans Atlantic dialect is everything!! Plus I love how they almost always have a lecture or full blown explanation as to how things or their products works, it feels very scientific & I would goop diwn e very product I saw on TV just to feel like I won lol They were really good at sugar wrapping things so neatly
Bob Warren is seen in this ad about garden hoses. He was a voiceover artiste and was the longtime announcer of "The Lawrence Welk Show" (1955-82). Also two spots for the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company (now Verizon) are featured. The Mustang car spot features Gary Merrill providing the voiceover. Mandel Kramer shills Hostess Donuts. Bob Landers is telling the young generation to 'Come Alive! You're In the Pepsi Generation" from 1964. Joanie Sommers is providing the vocals.
For some reason, I like those old ads a lot more than those we have nowadays. Maybe it's the music, maybe the way it's filmed, it's much less annoying.
10:15 The bad old days in advertising when companies made health claims that were not true, like this Bosco ad. any vitamin D that the children got was from the milk, not the Bosco. As for energy, a spoon of sugar will do that, and that is not healthy. Even the name, "Milk AMPLIFIER" was misleading, by implying that it somehow increased the nutritional value of milk. 25:15 All donuts float in the cooking oil.
This is a transatlantic accent and it was a speech pattern you LEARNED to be an actor or voice actor back in the day. You can still learn to speak this way but it's fallen out of fashion. It was originally intended to bridge the gap between American movies/TV and British audiences.
2:05- Originally seen in 1960, before Stan Freberg created a lot of memorable commercials- live-action *and* animated- for Jeno Paulucci's "Chun King" Chow Mein.
Good to see you commenting! I’ve been following your comments for many years and look for them on vintage videos. Hope all is well and thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks so much. I enjoyed this. I dont remember all of them...but most. Avon Rapture was my favorite Avon cologne back then. When i got old enough i was an Avon Representative

Nice, remember no one from the 70s, but these were local of course (US). Also 60s appliances are cool, checkout Miss Mixy for example, she uses a 60s vintage handmixer and shows how tough it is
I have not seen the Dairy Queen commercial since it was first on television . I was a little at a time and I thought it was Peter Noone ,Herman of Herman's Hermits . When I met Peter a few years ago I asked him if he was in a Dairy Queen commercial , he told me no .Look at the Dairy Queen commercial , do you blame me for thinking it was Herman ?
LOL A phone in the kitchen huh? I HATE these cell phones. I lost mine earlier, and guess where I found it? THE KITCHEN... then I see this commercial... I laughed so hard I cried. I'm about to retire, and I told everyone...yeah... NO MORE "PHONE" for me... if I DO have a phone it WILL be a POTS phone (POTS = Plain old telephone system), having a tail attached the wall. THAT is where phones belong.
Yes mam you are so right. How many passwords usernames security updates? All these devices tablets, phones, smart watches, Make our lives easier? Comnunicate anytime and almost anywhere. Best wishes on your retirement😊
I'm sure that the water free hairspray had plenty of alcohol that actually dried out healthy hair, same as the "Sudden Beauty" junk that my mom destroyed he hair with.
Remember Dippity Do? I must have used a cup of that Do when using foam curlers. That Dippity Glue welded my hair to the curlers. I had to stay home with my Great Grandmother because my mother, father, sister and brother were going to an outdoor music concert.😢😅
Plan: Eat one meal a day, and you'll lose weight. Duh! But then if you don't want to eat just one meal a day for the rest of your life, you'll gain it right back.
what I want to know is WHEN did we change the pronunciation of the word "protein" from "Prot tee in" to "Pro teen"? I've NEVER heard it pronounced the way they do in these commercials... EVER...
Interesting and not a person of colour in one of them. Even in Britain growing up I rarely saw mysef represented on TV, but in the last 10 years there has been an improvement.
Even worse than the lack of people of color in these is the Care commercial guy's possible beard looked like half blackface; for what alleged purpose I have no idea.

These commercials are better than most TV shows nowadays
Missus here. I haven't thought of Avon cream sachet in years! I got some as a young teen and , oh!, I loved it and thought I was so sophisticated!
Haha I felt that way too
I was always jumped on by MLM people or colleagues shoving their expensive products on me lol

As a child, I found them more instructive than annoying...
My aunt still has that style Armstrong flooring in her house today.
My childhood home had the mohawk carpeting.
I love Armstrong flooring..still made, still great!
Commercials were so pure and simple, polite and quiet, no irritating Lume lady talking about her nasty pits or underboob.
Network censorship rules were conservative back then which matched society's views.

*skips TH-cam ads*
*Watches TH-cam video that's nothing but ads*
And in the '60s and '70s, we hated it when our programs were interrupted by ads. Today, we watch 44 consecutive ads and love every minute of it!

The commercials back then were just as good as the regular programs. Very entertaining 🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
17:18- Originally seen in 1965. Featuring Linda {Lori} Sanders [pre-"PETTICOAT JUNCTION'].
These old commercials are the only time I've heard protein pronounced "pro-tee-in." So weird. 😂
That was a rather different pronunciation. 🙂
I wasn’t sure what she was talking about at first. How did the producers miss this?
Yeah! I caught on that one😅
Decades ago, that was a standard pronunciation of protein.
Sounds Mid Atlantic
These were the BEST OF COMMERCIALS I've seen !!!!
l do remember most of them.. from 1960 to 68.
For some reason, I like those old ads a lot more than those we have nowadays. Maybe it's the music, maybe the way it's filmed, it's much less annoying.
My mom loved working for Bell as an telephone operator in the 60s. 😊

Everyone talked so well back then
They weren't crude or boorish
You mean like at 12:18 - "Golla McGoofer, some truck, er, trick, huh?"
@@LindaMerchant-bq2hp These are people in TV ads. Don't compare today's reality to yesterday's commercials. That's a false comparison.

OMG, I can't believe I just spent 41 minutes watching old commercials. The Volkswagen one was brilliant

Thank you!
The Adorn hairspray commercial was the first one I recognized. And then came along that stinking Colgate commercial I remember too.
Thanks so much. I enjoyed this. I dont remember all of them...but most. Avon Rapture was my favorite Avon cologne back then.
When i got old enough i was an Avon Representative
Yeah when commercials tell about the actual product
Yep. Rather than fulfilling representation quota.
Thank you for the excellent collection! Great source of cultural history. ☮️

Where in blazes do you find Carling Black Lable beer??? I thought they stopped making that decades ago.

Jack Benny's old sidekick Don Wilson was one of the finest announcers to work in TV and radio.
Nice, remember no one from the 70s, but these were local of course (US). Also 60s appliances are cool, checkout Miss Mixy for example, she uses a 60s vintage handmixer and shows how tough it is
I love how people dressed formally all the time back then (though I'm not sure I'd like to do that now!)
4:15 LOL THIS is more true today than it was back then!!!! Talk about a commercial message that did not lose its relevance!
The lovely couple hawking Mohawk rugs is Jose Ferrer and Rosemary Clooney. Not sure if this was the first time they were married or the second.

I've never seen such a bad pour in a beer commercial before. Valley Forge, what were you thinking?
“Choose from a wide variety of colors!” (Shows shades of gray in black and white)
@ 23:34 - Vic Perrin on the voice-over ??
Sounds like him.
That téléphone installer guy was cute 😭
Chun king classic

Its amazing how they used to use cartoons to advertize stuff that wasnt even for kids
Japan still does that!
Did people really say "pro-tee-in"?
Yes, they did.
26:30 Mom & Dad come over to help unpack, and the good china's still in boxes!
So that may be where Lincoln Mercury got their slogan- at the sign of the cat

Well the research is there, calorie reduction and satiating hunger while also adding nutrition
what I want to know is WHEN did we change the pronunciation of the word "protein" from "Prot tee in" to "Pro teen"? I've NEVER heard it pronounced the way they do in these commercials... EVER...
on the chun king i wonder if the Chinese in the background means or says anything that not jibberish
I don't think Chinese is jibberish, it's a language.
@@susannahhunt100lol he is saying whether they took the time to write real Chinese. It's a good question but idk.
Wait... So I've been eating grapes wrong this whole time? Was he peeling a grape??
