Wow... this is even better than some of the 80s ones I've seen... nothin' but love all around in both decades. thank you. Loved the Golden Grahams guy with the hair and mustache.
Thanks for these commercials. This was right before my grandmother died in 1977 and Elvis died in August! I remember this year like it was yesterday and I was only 5 years old.
I well remembered August of '77. We had just moved back to our hometown and my youngest uncle (6 years older than me), my brother and I were in my grandmother's living room when the news of Elvis died. I was near 10 and like you, remember it like yesterday. I remember the TV was on CBS at the time.
There are some moments in time that stand still. Whats weird is I was older when John Lennon died but can't remember it. I felt like Elvis was family or something.
I was only 6 years old, and I remember some of these better than most of the commercials from the last decade! Incidentally, this is one of my favorite volumes so far, and one that I find myself coming back to every so often because I love so many of the commercials in it.
I loved the Nancy Drew show from the 70s. Wow, almost forgot about it. But I knew all the lyrics to all the commercials, lol!!!!!! How did I remember those???
The wiener here? A few minutes of flashbacks to a time when people smiled more. The loser here? The eventual ratings of The Brady Bunch Hour. Seriously, thanks for bringing us back to our kid days. A game of kickball, anyone?
I totally, 100% love the audio on this video... It's so super clear and it reminds me of watching an actual 1970's vintage color console TV...(which we didn't have in those days unfortunately but our neighbors did...) I just about remember all of those commercials since I was just 10 years old and TV was everything... Btw that Boy Scouts commercial looked like it was from the 60's...
These are labeled "70's commercials" because they conclusively all aired in early 1977 (airdates are provided in the video description), not because I claim that all of them were originally produced in the 70's.
@@80sCommercialVault that was just an observation I made about the Boy Scouts commercial and definitely not a criticism of the channel(that I love btw) 70's TV would show a 60's commercial every once in a blue and 80's TV would do the same with an occasional 70's commercial...
Jerry Orbach was a panelist on the early 70s syndicated era of What's My Line with Wally Bruner and later Larry Blyden hosted it. ANita Gillette was a theater actress around the same time and also made the game show rounds.
DisneyBlackJet I remember always thinking that was annoying as a kid at the time! I guess that's how it's spelled but then the little boy says 'Baloney' in one of their other ads right after that.
A few "Before They Were Stars" appearances in this volume. Was that Mary Frann as the shopper in the second Oscar Mayer ad? I recognize Betty Buckley in the Triscuit spot, and P.J. Soles in the Soft & Dri one. And of course Jerry Orbach in his pre-Lenny Briscoe days, plus Didi Conn in the pileup in that first Mounds ad.
The Brady Bunch Hour-the one with the replacement Jan(..?) Six Mil $ Man-good episode,love how he field-goal-kicked that bomb at the end Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew-had a crush on Pamela Sue Martin..speaking of the show itself,shocked that The CW hasnt attemped a revival(yet) The Captain & Tenille-wonder how the Cap is doing nowadays.. Log Cabin Syrup-this commercial shouldve aired right after the Six Million Dollar Man promo LOL
Wow; some truly classic jingles in this volume! 1:23--"Oscar Mayer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A." 2:58 and 8:15--"Sometimes you feel like a nut; sometimes you don't." 4:21--That Triscuit jingle is based on the old pop standard "A Tisket A Tasket." 5:44--The first, and arguably the best, Golden Grahams jingle! They used several versions of it throughout the late 1970's and early 1980's. Interestingly, it is based on the 19th-century minstrel song "Oh Dem Golden Slippers." 6:14--"Can you feel a brand new day?" I'm drawing a bit of a blank, but I think that is from a Broadway musical. 9:45--"Coke Adds Life" may not have the staying power of some others, but it is one out of many great jingles used by Coca-Cola over the years. 10:21--Another one based on an old pop standard, "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes". 12:50--It may not have the staying power of "Muncha Buncha" from a few years later, but I could dance and sing "Life's more fun when you're munchin' one, when you're munchin' one, when you're munchin' Fritos" all evening!
While I've seen volumes like this from 1976, the year before, this made me wonder how long VHS has been around. A quick Google search says that VHS was introduced in September 1976 in Japan and in America in "early 1977". This is partially January 1977. So...what IS this sorcery anyway? o_o Amazing.
These almost certainly aren't from a VHS recording from 1977. 99% of these old broadcasts with commercials from the 70's are copies of old network master tapes.
Ah! That explains the actual "sorcery". But that only makes the fact these master tapes were preserved well enough to come out like *this* all the more interesting in its own right. Thanks for correcting me. :)
@@talkieful1710 My family got our first color TV set later in 1977, so unless some of these ads were still airing during the last part of the year, I only saw them in black-and-white back then.
And Suzi Quatro played her younger sister "Leather" Tuscadero. I guess she got too famous as a pre-punk girl guitar player/singer a la Joan Jett to bother with a dying sitcom. Strange though that Suzi was wildly poplar in Europe/Japan, and still is, but her popularity waned in the States.
I don't remember milk chocolate Mounds; they must not have been around for very long. No sadness to me, though, as I'm partial to the dark chocolate version.
These bring back so many memories...I really miss those times...😊
I do 2...🥺
Almond Joy kept their jingle for over forty years! That's awesome!
Wow... this is even better than some of the 80s ones I've seen... nothin' but love all around in both decades. thank you. Loved the Golden Grahams guy with the hair and mustache.
The 1970's and 80's--and maybe the early 90's--were the golden age of TV commercials IMHO.
These bring back great simple times memories! Thank you!!
Loved these ads when new, and I remember them all. I was a child and teen during all of the 1970s.
70's commericals seem so simple. Just a jingle and I love the grainy look. It's better then HD
WWJD85 I agree. I've literally turned off Cable and Netflix to watch these. They're so comforting to me.

cindy pruitt
You're right. I can hardly recall John's death and where I was. I seem to recall hearing about it but that's about it.
Me and my girlfriend used to go to the Museum of Broadcasting to watch commercials just like this.... thank you!
When I was a little kid I stay glued to the TV watching these commercials
I was eleven years old in 77 and I can remember most of these ads but any from the last 10 years no way.
Same here.
I miss the ol days...
I was 10 until Sept
I was only 6 years old, and I remember some of these better than most of the commercials from the last decade! Incidentally, this is one of my favorite volumes so far, and one that I find myself coming back to every so often because I love so many of the commercials in it.
@@steveendicott1855 I was 10 until October...😆
I would love to go back to this time with all my current memories!
Soft and dry and post raisin brand are the best. I miss 70’s jingles.
I loved the Nancy Drew show from the 70s. Wow, almost forgot about it. But I knew all the lyrics to all the commercials, lol!!!!!! How did I remember those???
Loved it too. She went on to play Fallon on Dynasty. Liked the Hardy Boys Mysteries too.
That was a great time to be a kid.
Yes it was
The little boy from Oscar Mayer is soo cute! You have to sing along with him!
tamu malone I agree. Even though I was his age at the time I thought it was cute. It's forever engrained in my memory 40 years later at that!
tamu malone whatever became of him? Did he move on into acting?
He was so cute. I remember that commercial and I'm 51 years and singing along with him🤗

Wow, lots of neat cameos in this edition! I didn't recognize PJ Soles until I saw your notes.

Just turn 14 in Jan. I remember these well. 70s were the best!!!!!!
I was 11 months old in January 1977
I love watching these old ads.
I MISS those days!!!!
Hey Man I don't know if you happen to read these but thank you so much for your channel............

Jerry Orbach was the best on Law & Order. RIP.
@@thohangst And he was unforgettable as Lumiere in "Beauty & the Beast."
That first commercial, "BAHLONA"! x) I've never heard it pronounced that way.
DisneyBlackJet I remember always thinking that was annoying as a kid at the time! I guess that's how it's spelled but then the little boy says 'Baloney' in one of their other ads right after that.
Really? I've always heard it both ways.
@@angelabluebird609 Really? Because no one says "balohna".
"Weird Al" Yankovic pronounces it "bahlona" in his song "My Bologna", which is a parody of the Knack's hit "My Sharona."
A new 70's commercials volume?! Haven't seen one of those in a while
I posted one in July, honestly not that long considering how hard it is to find content from back then.
A few "Before They Were Stars" appearances in this volume. Was that Mary Frann as the shopper in the second Oscar Mayer ad? I recognize Betty Buckley in the Triscuit spot, and P.J. Soles in the Soft & Dri one. And of course Jerry Orbach in his pre-Lenny Briscoe days, plus Didi Conn in the pileup in that first Mounds ad.
Charlene Tilton was also on the Soft & Dri ad. She played Lucy Ewing on Dallas.
@@hoagie1978 You caught one I didn't. Cool!
I'm so glad i grew up then...
Brett Shepherd Me too!!!
Oscar Meyers got their money's worth
The Brady Bunch Hour-the one with the replacement Jan(..?)

Yes, this was the Brady Bunch variety series with "Fake Jan"
The Captain & Tennille show. My mom made my brother and I watch it with her when my dad was doing shift work back in '76.
Johnny Yuma Me too!!!! That's a total trip! My Dad worked swing or graveyard shift and she LOVED the Captain and Tennille so....haha
Sadly The Captain passed away Jan 2 2019
Back when commercials were informative and made sense. (Well, most of them.)
The Kodak Crank...I suddenly picture people saying "Let me grab my Crank" when they went to get the camera...
That camera was crap...
The pictures looked sh!ttier than Polaroid's...
Wow; some truly classic jingles in this volume!

@Robin Thanks for the clarification!
03:54 Parker Stevenson looks here like josh Myers did in 'that 70's show...' eerily so.
Mounds my all time fave candy. Dark chocolate only.
I don't remember the milk chocolate version, but that's no sadness to me because I'm partial to the dark chocolate version too.
Gotta love PJ in Rock N Roll HS
Since you were asking who she was before the edit, she's best known for the original Halloween, Carrie and Stripes.
And I just saw Betty Buckley in the Triscuits commercial.
ReiMeioh’s Hodge Podge Saw here in CATS 🐱 when it first opened on Broadway
I think that's Didi Conn on the right side of the screen in the Mounds/Almond Joy commercial, at 3:20.
She was great in Benson.
miss the good old days mane
I don't know what's creepier, the clown or that camera!
13:40- soft and dry.. "It never stings most girls" I wonder what percentage that actually breaks down to?
Mike Troncin by far my fav!

4:32 the gym teacher from Carrie
Betty Buckley
Yes and later another commercial with P.J. Soles, also from Carrie.
Pamela Sue Martin is such a hottie. She played Nancy Drew and Fallon Carnington on Dynasty.
Nancy drew was scarier than the hardee boys, and it frightened the hell out of me🤭
Good Ole days
13:45 well, little wonder she's nervous... that's Riff Randall and she blew up the high school.
why does the lady in the triscuit commercial look so self-conscious when she bites into the triscuit?
She was still planning the punishment for throwing tampons at Carrie! She was a sweet gym teacher! She truly cared about Carrie.
Shake hands with the crank😂😂
Quardupleshot of meat!
Jerry Orbach @8:46 😍
Is this from an affiliate or a network master?
Network master.
9:14 keep yer shirt on lady.
