@@GiozRockin Of course they were trying to trick you. That's what commercials do, lol. Now we just have more access to marketing techniques using our senses, like using color and sound.
Why is it so pleasing to watch these ads? No annoying music, no super fast shot changes, no annoying acting, no intrusive hard sounds, no weird mobile shitty games, a clear message instead of an ad of which nobody understands what the actual message is, no unfunny jokes, no micro transactions in a free advertised game.
Hahaha! I was half expecting the announcer to mention something like “Also, try our new Maybelene cover up for those days when you don’t get the roast in on time, yet need to go shopping the next day without those pesky black eyes...”
I work at a vintage icecream shop where the owner has been collecting and displaying old artifacts and popular items from many different timeframes, the most popular being the coca cola pieces. He has one of the coke carts just like in the first commercial sitting right in his shop across from the icecream counter. I love watching these old simple commercials, and I think it's even cooler that I can see some of these items still preserved today every time I go into work

Most of these are from the early-to-mid 1950s: Band-Aid Super Stick @1954, Gillette @1956, Sunbeam Bread @1953-1957, Camel Cigarettes @1950-1951 (although this "Doctors Love Smoking" campaign began on radio and print in 1946), Keds @1958, RCA Victor @1954, Hasbro Mr/Mrs Potato Head @1953. However, the three that aren't from the 1950s: Coca-Cola @ 1941 (probably shown in theaters before the feature, not on television), Scotty's Magic Oval @1960-1962, and Whiz Candy Bar (Party Magic promo) @1938 (again, probably shown in theaters before the feature, not on television).
World War II, with its freeze on commercial television and general technology shortages, delayed the rise of the medium. Before 1947, only a few thousand American homes owned television sets. Just five years later, that number jumped to 12 million. By 1955, half of American homes had a TV set
@@bobdobb9017 yeah, as in the 40s the tv was only for really for rich people (they also existed in the late 20s and 30s but those were not for the public) but it wasn’t until the 50s that it became a normal thing in a home as everyone had one like today

I was one of the first children to receive a Mr. Potato Head "kit" as a gift for Christmas, in 1952 when I was twelve. This was before they came out with the version of the toy that included a plastic brown head with holes in it. The original iteration of MPT was simply a box of plastic, feet, ears, noses, eyes, hat, bow tie, etc. The child had to stick these into a real potato. My maternal grandfather Liam had emigrated from Ireland as a baby in 1849 to escape the Great Famine and he was still around in 1952. He ultimately lived to 105, eventually expiring while participating in an amateur boxing match in 1954 when a fellow railroad locomotive coal tender from his union he was fighting landed a solid right hook. Both of them had just returned that afternoon from working the New York to Chicago run for the past thirty days. and they'd gotten drunk and shared a hooker before the bout. Grandfather gave 87 years of his life to that railroad, having started when he was a teenager with a seventh grade education (a year before he formally took up drinking on a daily basis). All throughout Christmas Day, the more the old man drank the more he cursed the Hasbro Toy Company for making "a blasted toy out of the damnable spud, a feckin' bag of which would have kept me and me dear brothers and sisters off that stinking ship and home and abidin' in Muckholligam, Galway, where we belonged. - working our peat bog and attending mass. Colleen wouldtna ended up a Haarrr and Fintan woulda entered the priesthood, instead of makin' barrels all his lousy life and sellin'' 'em cut rate in Boston. " Eventually, after throwing the Mr. Potato Head kit into the fireplace, and pretty much losing his ability to stand up, or keep from wetting his pants, he moved on to his favorite joke... "Pretend yer walking up to me boyo in front the church. Ask me if mass is out yet." So, I'd ask him..."Is mass out yet." He'd start cackling, take a big slug from his bottle of Jameson's and chortle "No, but it's only a matter of time you feckin' idjeeit, seein' s how the flap on yer Guddamnable britches is undone." He always told this same joke every Christmas, and oddly it always signified, without fail, that he was about to finally shut up and pass out for a few hours. By then, in '52 , my new Mr. Potato Head kit had been completely incinerated - head feet, eyes, nose, mustache - all gone. I still have the cardboard box however. on the mantle of my fireplace. I keep Grandpa's ashes in it, purely out of spite. He wanted to be buried back in Ireland, but as executor of his "estate," I was able to make other arrangements. 😁
@MrRKWright What a story!! I could almost believe it, but couldn't quite buy that your grandfather was still "haarrring" and fighting at age 105... 😲 Rather, I believe you kissed the Blarney Stone - and have the soul of a writer. I do believe you probably had an Irish grandfather who was quite the (possibly annoying, if not infuriating,) character, though.
I was 19 in 1945, I remember watching all these commercials back then, I was a typewriter author back in the 60's, I retired in 1989, now I am a healthy 95 year old, I am still learning to adapt with modern technology, hope I make to be one of the oldest individuals in the planet, Thank you!
When i first learned about doctors use to smoke,i was in shook too,like why would doctors smoke something that's not healthy-turned out that the cigarette companies kept that info hidden so doctors really thought it was healthy,my mind was also blowned when i learned this
Right, and what else is unique about these commercials? 100% white people. Almost like a homogeneous white society yields more trust than a "diverse" society...
With that band-aid commercial I love how the “slow motion” was just them doing it slower instead of playing the original one slower 😂idk why I find it so funny
"Junior hasn't got energy enough for fun." Good thing he ate that bread so he could finally get off that bench walk 2 steps and sit on the plastic horse
Well, they used to add proteins and vitamins to bread. The commercial wanted to show that you’ll get energy from eating it. If this was a real life situation, I’d assume Junior is horrid lazy.
I was born in 1945 and grew up in the 50's . I remember these commercials so well. Great being a kid and growing up back then. Everything was new and exciting ! I loved my MR. POTATO HEAD and my DOCTOR KIT !We always had "Sunbeam" bread in the house. I remember getting my first Transistor portable radio once for my birthday. Mine was a Zenith. All chrome front with an imitation leather case. It was so cool ! The cigarette commercials were all over TV. Little did we know how we were lied to. My gym shoes were always KEDS. There was no NIKE back then ! It sure was great growing up as a kid back then ! I loved every minute of it ! Now, I look back after just turning 78 and feel so fortunate !
Many people below a certain age don't realize that Mr PotatoHead didn't have a plastic potato included, or that radio was a bigger medium than television.
As far as I know, my philosophy teacher told me that when he did Gillette, the owner put the prices high and promised a good product. People complained and the founder of Gillette lowered the prices, the quality and said 'you won't pay for one product at a time with a good quality that will last you a very long time, but instead, you'll pay me for the rest of your life in small amounts to change the blades that are not as qualitative as they were intially'. Now I don't know if this is 100% true but my teacher was a pretty clever guy who enjoyed reading a hella lot.
That is funny but enriched bread was pretty important, especially due to rationing during and after the war. www.chicagomag.com/city-life/March-2014/How-Wonder-Bread-Became-the-Healthand-then-the-Ill-Healthof-the-State/
I’m 55 and when I was 9 my father worked for a Aggregates producer in Izoro Texas and on Saturdays I’d go to work with him at the crusher and he’d have me sit up on an old steel tractor seat and every time he’d push up a load of stone to the feeder I’d open the gate to start feeding that old crusher and he’d give me 50 cents which I looked at as dollars and there was an old console type coke machine so I’d drop a dime in the slot and slide the bar over and pull my ice cold big red up out of there 5 times a day and let me tell you I was ten foot tall and bullet proof because by God I was building America and my dad sure gotta kick outta me . We were dirt floor poor but I thought things were swell 😆 lol
In those type of machines, in the 1960's you put a dime in the slot. Then you navigated your 8 oz bottle of coke through a labyrinth until at the end was sort of a valve. You pulled the bottle up through the valve.
My father had one of those Coke coolers in his donut shop. You actually just take the drink out of the cooler and pay for it at the counter. But, in this case, the man is the owner of the grocery store. The beginning of the commercial shows the store name, S.J. Tompkins & Son, and the girl calls him Mr. Tompkins. :)
I'm so accustomed to seeing "Mr. Potatohead" coming with his own plastic potato, that it never occurred to me that the original toy would have been meant to be put on an ACTUAL potato. Wow, the original looks so much more whimsical!
Nah, my mom was a little kid back in the 50's. She's 71 now and healthy as ever; so the kids pictured here are most likely still alive and in their 80's (I'm getting up there in the years myself. I'm 47, with two kids of my own). The years go by so quickly. 😉 Cheers!
Pain tolerance has gone way down since the 50's. You used to have to rip band aids off quickly to minimize the pain of removal. They would leave a nice red patch where the band aid used to be. Now days kids/people would pass out from such an experience. Modern band aids remove themselves.
Scotties magic oval had me wheezing 😂 It seems so obvious that they’re put in oval boxes, but I assume it wasn’t that way back then. Very interesting video!
@@christelheadington1136 The standard term is bandages or "adhesive bandages". Band-Aid is just one such company that makes them. The Band-Aid brand eventually became the most popular brand of adhesive bandage. Therefore people started to just call them "Band-Aids" or "bandaids" even if they were made by a different company. It's just like how people refer to facial tissues as "Kleenex". Kleenex is just one of the companies that make facial tissues. But because it was so popular of a brand, it became the term people use to refer to facial tissues of other brands as well. The upside of this is that the company gets more advertising as people will always be using their name. The downside is that if the name becomes too common place then the companies lose their trademark because you cannot trademark a common term.

Khalil's MIX PLATE Nah that’s false, back then you cared more to sell the item get a viewers eye, they wanted to impress them, they would lie all the time. Now and days you have to be specific on your commercials because there is competition. You have to be better do better, prove you’re better. And if someone finds something wrong with your product, well down goes sales. Stop hating on today’s times all the time.
@@leahbee9072 I m just talking about commercials Contents not product quality it's self If we compare product quality tht also not better as old ones even offer by the same co and the same product originality going obsolete .

Khalil's MIX PLATE if so then you must compare them to so much alike. They always used woman to model the sales, always good looking. You would never see a butter face on there. And I disagree on the product sells being better... but that’s just because back then they didn’t have labels of ingredients and shit like that on anything

Yeah - kinda funny how people without a cig or near second hand get lung cancer and all sorts of cancers. Seems they were smarter then. Cigs calm people down and help with focus - addictive yes but breakable if you want to quit. Kinda funny huh. What are they gonna blame it on when no one smokes? I wonder.

What I remember about those Olde Pop (refrigerated water) machines was the track I had to slide the bottle along to the "release" gate that would not operate unless the Nickle was put in first. That child reminds me of the Pepsi Girl from ads 30 or 40 years later. "Feel Sharp, Be Sharp with Gillette." I had my (got it in the mail) Gillette Razor handle for over 40 years. Used to have "Wonder Bread" with all its holes, then I tried "Sunbeam", with No Holes. Now I use "Stop & Shop"/"Wal*Mart" bread for 1USD per loaf. Cigarettes when I was a sodajerk, 25¢ (standard, 5 minute break).
its a psychological effect. the more they hear it the more they will be desired to buy it. so say with scotties, if they go to the store and need tissues they'll pick scotties because they've heard it so much. weird ik
Well, yes, guys, they would mold. However, it is far better for the environment to replace your potatoes every few weeks than to have them made of plastic. Plus, you can compost the potatoes. As a society we value permanence over anything else. Perfection is ugly. In many cultures, impermanence has meaning.
1940s: "see how camels agree with your throat" 2010s: " Cigarettes will give you throat cancer" 2018s: "C'mon everyone, let's smoke pot and get high!" 2019s: "There are over 400 chemicals in marijuana...". (shsss - gub'mint needs that tax money).
Deplorable_Bitter_Clinger oh wow you need to do some research! Cigarettes should never be compared to cannabis - they’re not even in the same realm! And they always knew cigarettes were bad for us. They literally created a stick comprised of harmful chemicals and an addictive agent that you suck into your body. That’s WHY they used advertisements with doctors, to sell it to a gullible public and get everyone hooked. Here we are 70-80 years later and people are still hooked on that shit and dying. Rule of thumb - basically do the opposite of whatever government tells you.
Well most toys sell for $10-20 currently and $1 in the 50s is equivalent to $10-20 (I'm not exactly sure the exact amount). So really, it's not all that different.

I was one of the first children to receive a Mr. Potato Head "kit" as a gift for Christmas, in 1952 when I was twelve. This was before they came out with the version of the toy that included a plastic brown head with holes in it. The original iteration of MPT was simply a box of plastic, feet, ears, noses, eyes, hat, bow tie, etc. The child had to stick these into a real potato.
My maternal grandfather Liam had emigrated from Ireland as a baby in 1849 to escape the Great Famine and he was still around in 1952. He ultimately lived to 105, eventually expiring while participating in an amateur boxing match in 1954 when a fellow railroad locomotive coal tender from his union he was fighting landed a solid right hook.

Colleen wouldtna ended up a Haarrr and Fintan woulda entered the priesthood, instead of makin' barrels all his lousy life and sellin'' 'em cut rate in Boston. "
Eventually, after throwing the Mr. Potato Head kit into the fireplace, and pretty much losing his ability to stand up, or keep from wetting his pants, he moved on to his favorite joke... "Pretend yer walking up to me boyo in front the church. Ask me if mass is out yet." So, I'd ask him..."Is mass out yet."

"What cigarette do you smoke doctor?" Never thought I'd hear that
Sameee
When i first learned about doctors use to smoke,i was in shook too,like why would doctors smoke something that's not healthy-turned out that the cigarette companies kept that info hidden so doctors really thought it was healthy,my mind was also blowned when i learned this
The teachers used to smoke in elementary school classrooms while teaching. They didn’t know it was bad for them.
I read this right as it said it aha

It's actually amazing how many of these logos remained the same: Coca Cola, Bandaid, Johnson & Johnson, Dodgers, etc..

With that band-aid commercial I love how the “slow motion” was just them doing it slower instead of playing the original one slower 😂idk why I find it so funny
Tom Hiddleston Lover!!! I noticed that😂

Silly me... I was expecting a slow motion replay. I was thinking... Wow they had slow motion tech back then... I wonder how it will look
That's definitely slowed down footage
They took “slow motion” too literally.
I genuinely believe if commercials like this would work if ran on TV today. Would certainly stand out!
So remember folks, next time your getting a checkup ask YOUR Doctor what kind of cigarette he smokes
Before he gives you the referral to the cancer center.
He’ll probably just tell you where he buys his medicinal marijuana.

POTATO HEAD and my DOCTOR KIT !We always had "Sunbeam" bread in the house. I remember getting my first Transistor portable radio once for my birthday. Mine was a Zenith. All chrome front with an imitation leather case. It was so cool ! The cigarette commercials were all over TV. Little did we know how we were lied to. My gym shoes were always KEDS. There was no NIKE back then ! It sure was great growing up as a kid back then ! I loved every minute of it ! Now, I look back after just turning 78 and feel so fortunate !

$1.29 for gillette razors! Even back then they were absurdly expensive.
As far as I know, my philosophy teacher told me that when he did Gillette, the owner put the prices high and promised a good product. People complained and the founder of Gillette lowered the prices, the quality and said 'you won't pay for one product at a time with a good quality that will last you a very long time, but instead, you'll pay me for the rest of your life in small amounts to change the blades that are not as qualitative as they were intially'. Now I don't know if this is 100% true but my teacher was a pretty clever guy who enjoyed reading a hella lot.
@Summer Rose you can find them at dollar tree.
I said the same out loud
But that was just for the handle which lasted for years. The disposable blades themselves were extremely cheap.

Pain tolerance has gone way down since the 50's. You used to have to rip band aids off quickly to minimize the pain of removal. They would leave a nice red patch where the band aid used to be. Now days kids/people would pass out from such an experience. Modern band aids remove themselves.

@Christel But back then you wouldn't refer to them as "a bandaid".
@@Kojow7 -Why would you not refer to a bandaid as a bandaid ?
@@christelheadington1136 The standard term is bandages or "adhesive bandages". Band-Aid is just one such company that makes them. The Band-Aid brand eventually became the most popular brand of adhesive bandage. Therefore people started to just call them "Band-Aids" or "bandaids" even if they were made by a different company. It's just like how people refer to facial tissues as "Kleenex". Kleenex is just one of the companies that make facial tissues. But because it was so popular of a brand, it became the term people use to refer to facial tissues of other brands as well. The upside of this is that the company gets more advertising as people will always be using their name. The downside is that if the name becomes too common place then the companies lose their trademark because you cannot trademark a common term.
