@@thepeternetwork Never heard of it however it certainly makes sense. I am able to key on endless commercials and jingles heard many years ago. For instance "Mother please! I'd rather do it myself."
My parents had that RCA air conditioner. It was bought six YEARS before I was born. It was still in use until I was in HIGH SCHOOL! (1977) Good luck with THAT now! (Of course, it cost as much as a good used car when it was new..But still. it LASTED!).
Speaking of Tootsie-Rolls, I can still recall the comercial I watched when I was a litle kid, back in the early '60s: a cartoon of a wise owl holding a Tootsie-Roll pop: "How many licks," Mr Owl said, "does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie-Roll pop? Let's find out." He took one lick and said: "One." He took another lick and said: "Two." He took one more lick and said: "Three." (Mr Owl suddenly crunched down it.) "Three," he said again. Voice of a narrator: "How many licks does it REALLY take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll pop? The world may NEVER know."
That Tootsie Pop commercial you mentioned was originally from the 1960s. Every so often someone else redoes the animation, but they always use the original audio track. They've done it at least three times since the original premiered.
They all had the Mid-Atlantic accent. It was pretty much an accent invented to be a mix of British English and American English to sound sophisticated. Most actors adopted it but the average person didn’t really sound like that
E.S.L Check out a yearbook from back then. Almost every student aged 16-18 looks more like 25-30. I think it mostly has to do with the fact there were not as many preservatives in food back in the day; so people just simply aged faster.
Kids in school looked older and more mature up until the mid 2000's... I just seen the high school kids coming back from school these days and they all looked like freshmen in middle school
I turned 60 this year and i really get a big kick out of the old school tv ads. I am so grateful to the channels that post these. It brings back memories of the beautiful life I had growing up.
I am sincerely glad you had a beautiful life growing up in the 60s and 70s. Just remember, not everyone did. Women, people of color, Asians, and others. I remember too,I was there. 64 years old.

Anything from the 50s to the 70s gives me memories of that, as well as seeing the "good life" from afar, not for me. I used to think my parents were horrible, selfish people, but the rest of the world was different. I've since lost my illusions about the rest of the world.
I love the 50s, but I finally realized why; all the simple, wholesomeness of the time was done on purpose. Trauma from the war and having grown up during the Great Depression, adults just wanted the safe, warm home they felt they never had, and it reflects in everything, even the commercials.
Now people have gotten too comfortable and want to create new drama. Like forcing you to use pronouns that aren't accurate. And making fifty sequels of the same film. I wasnt alive then but at least they made it LOOK like there was peace. I cry all the time. I suffer with major depression and other mental health disorders and i try hard to hold back those tears in front of my kids. Its really hard but i try. And people back then tried. Life is hard.

When I was in the fifth grade our class made cookie cans with a coffee can, we used newspaper strips dipped in all purpose flour. We put the wet newspaper strips on the cans and the next day after they were dry, we painted the cans to look like animals and we took them home. We put cookies into the cans. You put the plastic lid on the can to keep your cookies fresh.
Such stark contrast to commercials from the 2000's and 2010's. I remember so many corporations trying to be self aware, and so many ads that weren't even about the thing they were selling... and ads that went by so fast you didn't even know what was happening, with a shit ton of music and overstimulation. These ads for some reason feel fresh, and I appreciate as a consumer hearing about what they are selling.
Who the hell ever smoked BelAir or Raleigh cigarettes? And remember that menthol brand called Montclair? Lung cancer? The truth is most smokers don’t die from it, it’s usually heart attacks or stroke.
I wasn't born til the late 90's, but I'm sure the commercials were long because back in the 50's they aired only one or two commercials per break. And btw, today there are still some long commercials, like the dreadful medicine ones that can go up to two minutes.

I was thinking the same thing. I wish that they would bring back the 1950s prices with our current wages, shit, we'd all be living high on the hog even with a minimum wage job.
Actually in today’s time according to uS Inflations calculator, 9 cents would equal 96 cents as 2019. But since company’s are greedy asf now. They over price shit
@Brian Allen Alright, alright, stereotyping. But you can't exactly call stereotypes "usually accurate", since in much of the cases it was used alongside pretty racist descriptions and jokes. It is usually used to ridicule and make fun of its subjects, in varying degrees. That being said, I don't take the Jell-o commercial too seriously. It's not really offensive in my opinion. I much rather prefer this to "PCifying" it like what seems to be the trend nowadays..
@@kimeojin1234 lemme officially resolve this some white folks that were racist wanted them to be in the country and that’s it no other race but white folks and that’s why the commercial may be racist.
When people were more patient and had longer attention spans. These commercials tell you in an entertaining way about their goods rather than relying on a short, vain appeal to image.
@@Shoppy08 That would be a example which reflects a particular generation or a time they/we live in. What's acceptable or not depends on who, where and when you live. In the future things we hold as values or our views may appear odd, antiquated or obsolete. Hopefully common courtesy, mutual respect and free thought will survive.
soldier person And likewise look at a 40 or 80 year old back then and compare to today. 40 was a graying square adult and 80 was decrepit rocking chair, cane using, near deathbed or nursing home person. Life expectancy was like 65 back then even though most people ate home cooked meals or sandwiches made at home 90% of the time, weren’t fat, and worked like dogs. We eat crap more than ever, but look like kids longer than ever.
Lynne Waugaman I’m quite sure they are. Either that or all these genetically modified artificial foods we’ve been eating for the past 30 years. Is it a coincidence that we are just not aging the same way we did back in the 1980s in before? The majority of high school seniors looked like grown men when I was starting high school in the 1982. Around the mid or late 1980s, things started to change.

My Grandmother would cook everything in and on a wood stove circa 1954. I remember coming into her house after my brother and I would pelt each other with snow balls. Soaking wet we would curl up next to that stove to warm up. Grandma would fix us a large cup of hot chocolate with small marshmallows. We would drink the hot beverage while smelling the fresh baked bread loveing cooking in that old stove. I know what heaven is like I've been there.
I love these old commercials, but that Jell-O ad would never fly well today. *Edit: Wow... Never did I think a comment of mine would become so popular. Fyi to all those who replied, I thought the Jell-O commercial was hilarious. People (white liberals, mostly) need to stop being so offended for everybody else.
You are 'afro-American' brainwashed. Give us everything we demand or we will pull the race card. We will see what Bill Cosby trys to pull. 24 Sept. 2018 .
Bidu Bidu No, it wasn’t that “racism was acceptable” back then...it’s just that people weren’t offended so easily then as they are now. For one thing, “racism” and stereotyping are two totally different things.
My grandmother had a percolator. The first time I remember her using it, I was sorely disappointed that it didn't make that Maxwell House sound while it was perking.
The Mr. Clean machine gun bottle would be popular today. The Skippy peanut butter did smell and taste different, as do any and all off brands of peanut butter today. That was a valid commercial!!!
That's how I remember it also. I don't remember homes or schools having a.c.. The Movie Theaters were it. The marquee would say ice cold air conditioned.
They weren’t woke either. You can actually know what was being advertised. See Michael Knowles TH-cam channel. He plays a game to see if he can guess what some commercials are actually advertising.
Spaldeen - a new release on Amazon by an author I’ve been following for a couple of years.

reving19 Always remember time is short. We must repent of our sins (sin is transgression of The Turah) and believe on The Master Yahusha. We must believe on Yahusha. In Hebrew, the word "believe" means to "trust and obey" so we must trust and obey Yahusha Faith saves you. TRUE faith will produce obedience. If we have genuine faith, we will obey YAHUAH’S Law (Turah). We will repent when we stumble into sin (sin is transgression of The Turah) and trust in The Master Yahusha. Grace is what allows us to be the men and women that YAHUAH The Father in Heaven called us to be. It allows us to obey through His SET-APART (HOLY) RUACH (SPIRIT). 🙂
i think this is when the commercials were like a minute and a half long and the rest was the tv show. Leave it to Beaver was about 27 minutes long. Now a days there's like 12 minutes of ads that mean nothing to me, trying to sell medicine and all kinds of products that I'll never buy as long as I live. Very difficult and frustrating to watch live Television today.
I costs abit but that's why I have Xfinity 1, not all times but most times you can ZIP through the stupid ads. If you can't then another trick works alot of times where you turn on the program then hit pause & just chill for ten mins or so, then press play, show comes on & you zip through the ads....if it catches up you just do the same thing all over again. If it states can't fast forward then most times I won't watch that show if if do I just turn off the sound so I don't have to listen to the ads, showing you the same crap you can't afford or the med ads that are designed to kill people then latter you see "If you took this crap & it caused this, this, this injury or a loved one DIED call lawyer dumdum, we'll get you the money blah, blah, blah." Netflix is $10. A month AD FREE.
totally agree. Optimum which is my cable service, you can pause and rewind, and pause and take a shower or something, come back and hit play, FF through the ads, especially the ads for the medicines that say it'll cure my stuffy and runny nose, but it'll case severe nausea and vomiting, severe headaches, possibly go into severe and possibly deadly convulsions..... but my nose will clear up. but the fact still remains that the actual TV show was still around 27 minutes long, and it was quality TV to boot! Ok..here's what really urks me to bits and pieces. The advertisers pay the networks X amount of dollars and the networks will gladly run them. This has nothing to do with you or I. We the customer are absolutely at the bottom of the totem pole, My interest, your interest, your neighbor's interest does not matter one ioda to the networks. We are invisible to them. It a business. And it stinks.
It's positively horrible Jessie. What convinces me that we, the customer are not important to the cable companies at all. Not in the least bit. The ad agencies are paying our cable companies huge sums of money to advertise on their channels. That's what keeps the cable companies in business. As for the customer? We are unequivocally at the bottom of their totem pole and for all intensive purposes, we do not exist. In fact, we probably just get in the cable company's way.
Can someone please explain why this timeline feels so familiar to me and so peaceful and simple and happy I'm only 21 and it gives me goosebumps of joy things lasted like the tv and cars things where brighter and big
Colleen , back then God was spelled with a capital g. After Korean war, Americans were not worried about offending Chinese. Coke had cane sugar in it, Boys played with toy guns. Almost all families had a mom and dad, no one heard of child care, And you could actually pay your bills and save a few bucks on dads salary, oh and coins were made of real silver.
Good grief, I think you guys are missing the point of Colleen’s comment. I believe she is referring to the fact of how fast time has passed. Why the nastiness? I got you, girl.
The body language on the lollipop people in the Skippy ad is fantastic, i love how easy their emotions are to read just by the angles and curves of the body line. Very creative
Smoking was so socially acceptable then. And the tobacco industry knew it was addictive and caused sickness. But they put profit over people's health. My own grandmother chewed snuff like a man, spitting it out in a cup. And that was acceptable. That was in the "60's from what I remember.

Nine cents for shampoo?!! Man, times have changed!
DJDoubleCee prices were different back then remember
I was thinking the same thing. I wish that they would bring back the 1950s prices with our current wages, shit, we'd all be living high on the hog even with a minimum wage job.
9 cents for shampoo today that would cost almost 20 dollars unless it was sold at the dollar tree .
The only thing free nowadays is fortnite.
Reality is often disappointing
Actually in today’s time according to uS Inflations calculator, 9 cents would equal 96 cents as 2019. But since company’s are greedy asf now. They over price shit
It’s amazing how many brands are still around
And with the same logos.

I want to see the jello commercial remade for today. People would immediately melt down on social media.
@Brian Allen Alright, alright, stereotyping. But you can't exactly call stereotypes "usually accurate", since in much of the cases it was used alongside pretty racist descriptions and jokes. It is usually used to ridicule and make fun of its subjects, in varying degrees.
That being said, I don't take the Jell-o commercial too seriously. It's not really offensive in my opinion. I much rather prefer this to "PCifying" it like what seems to be the trend nowadays..
@@kimeojin1234 lemme officially resolve this some white folks that were racist wanted them to be in the country and that’s it no other race but white folks and that’s why the commercial may be racist.

I can imagine alot of people fell asleep on their sofas to these commercials.
They are so relaxing
Some of the commercials seemed very long back then people today wouldn’t have the attention span for it.
And they're too expensive now
Well, we didn’t have the attention spans of a gnat. Just sayin’.
The TV shows werent much better then the commercials
I agree 🦋
Modern commercials irk my soul.
What an awesome way to look back at what I would had missed if I lived back in the 50s but I was only born in 1963 thank you for this.
Back when ads actually explained what the product was
Ads now: GETTHISRANDOMITEMTHATYOUWONTUSE
Ads now: a life changing motivational speech and you find out it was an ad about a car
I never had any idea tf “Stadia” was supposed to be or what it was advertising.
You mean like the Orwellian "breathe easy, smoke clean" cigarette ad starting at 6:16?
Yes. Modern ads don't tell your what they're trying to sell. It's because modern day advertisers like to waste money.
I see they did a lot of over-explaining in commercials back then. These are more infomercials than commercials.
Thatz the point of commercials
Its called features and benefits. The basis of all sales.
When people were more patient and had longer attention spans. These commercials tell you in an entertaining way about their goods rather than relying on a short, vain appeal to image.
For example, the chinese baby.
@@Shoppy08 That would be a example which reflects a particular generation or a time they/we live in. What's acceptable or not depends on who, where and when you live. In the future things we hold as values or our views may appear odd, antiquated or obsolete. Hopefully common courtesy, mutual respect and free thought will survive.
"spoon was invented for eating jell-o"
I don't know about that one chief
Is that info checked?
they DID lie tho
It's a well known fact. No one was able to eat Jell-O for several decades until the spoon was invented.
"Spoons were used as early as the Shang dynasty of the 2nd millennium B.C."

Life expectancy was like 65 back then even though most people ate home cooked meals or sandwiches made at home 90% of the time, weren’t fat, and worked like dogs.

You can get the same results as the cream shampoo by doing a heat treatment on your hair with mayonnaise or coconut oil.
I remember the smell of my grandmothers house when she would use her percolating coffee maker it smelled so good in her house. I love the smell of it!
My Grandmother would cook everything in and on a wood stove circa 1954. I remember coming into her house after my brother and I would pelt each other with snow balls. Soaking wet we would curl up next to that stove to warm up. Grandma would fix us a large cup of hot chocolate with small marshmallows. We would drink the hot beverage while smelling the fresh baked bread loveing cooking in that old stove. I know what heaven is like I've been there.
Yep. I remember my grandmother percolating the 8 o'clock coffee from A.and P
I still have and use my coffee percolator every day.
I love these old commercials, but that Jell-O ad would never fly well today.
*Edit: Wow... Never did I think a comment of mine would become so popular. Fyi to all those who replied, I thought the Jell-O commercial was hilarious. People (white liberals, mostly) need to stop being so offended for everybody else.
You are 'afro-American' brainwashed. Give us everything we demand or we will pull the race card.

Bidu Bidu No, it wasn’t that “racism was acceptable” back then...it’s just that people weren’t offended so easily then as they are now. For one thing, “racism” and stereotyping are two totally different things.
Nooo it would not 😂😂😂
@Bidu Bidu like what? Because last time I checked, stereotypes are a stereotype for a reason.
@Bidu Bidu There invited because of the truth behind them. Sure not all of them are true but there are ones that exists because they are true.

so its not that hard just rinse ur sticks in water
I was listening to old radio and found out that 9 out of 10 doctors that smoke prefer camels lol
when they said that peanut butter was introduced 50-60 years ago that blew my mind
Means 1900 - 1890
It was technically invented before that, but was patented in the 1800s and popularized by Kellog in the 1890s.
I remember my parents coffee percolator pot. It was fun watching the coffee splash upon the glass, hear the gurgling and wonderful coffee smell.
My ma still uses hers
Yes
When ever I see old commercials from the 50s, I think: these people are dead.
Me too. They have all achieved room temperature. And they will be much more comfortable with their RCA air conditioner!
Except the kids they 70 assuming they were 10 if they were born exactly in the fifties then they are 60
Maybe but people now arent much better either...
No shit, Dick Tracy.
Me too
My grandmother had a percolator. The first time I remember her using it, I was sorely disappointed that it didn't make that Maxwell House sound while it was perking.
I believed that too.
*percolating not perking lol
The Mr. Clean machine gun bottle would be popular today. The Skippy peanut butter did smell and taste different, as do any and all off brands of peanut butter today. That was a valid commercial!!!
When ads were inexpensive. Now it’s only 15 seconds for $30 million.

The only air conditioning I remember growing up in the 1950's is when we went to the movies on a hot Saturday afternoon.
Greg Coates or at one of your wealthy aunts house.
It's like that here in Europe (but AC is also in shopping malls)
In the 60's we use to ride the city bus on Sundays for a dime for 2 hours on the entire route..
That's how I remember it also. I don't remember homes or schools having a.c.. The Movie Theaters were it. The marquee would say ice cold air conditioned.
How are you still alive.
If we had these commercials these days I wouldn’t mind watching them
Omg same
Well I would mind the second one
I love watching these old commercials, they bring back a lot of good memories!!!!!!
These ads were more convincing than today's adw
Because they were honest, charming, and not overblown and in your face and not annoying and cringe.
They weren’t woke either. You can actually know what was being advertised. See Michael Knowles TH-cam channel. He plays a game to see if he can guess what some commercials are actually advertising.

Hello Donna, how are you doing?
Why do I want to go back in time and live in the 1950s for a bit to see and feel it for myself.
It seemed normal and unexciting at the time. Born in '47 so I remember it well. It was just a nice period of our history.
If you do, make sure you go back as a white middle class male. Not such a great time for everyone else. And yes, I was there.

reving19 Always remember time is short. We must repent of our sins (sin is transgression of The Turah) and believe on The Master Yahusha. We must believe on Yahusha. In Hebrew, the word "believe" means to "trust and obey" so we must trust and obey Yahusha
Faith saves you. TRUE faith will produce obedience. If we have genuine faith, we will obey YAHUAH’S Law (Turah). We will repent when we stumble into sin (sin is transgression of The Turah) and trust in The Master Yahusha. Grace is what allows us to be the men and women that YAHUAH The Father in Heaven called us to be. It allows us to obey through His SET-APART (HOLY) RUACH (SPIRIT). 🙂

i think this is when the commercials were like a minute and a half long and the rest was the tv show. Leave it to Beaver was about 27 minutes long. Now a days there's like 12 minutes of ads that mean nothing to me, trying to sell medicine and all kinds of products that I'll never buy as long as I live. Very difficult and frustrating to watch live Television today.
I costs abit but that's why I have Xfinity 1, not all times but most times you can ZIP through the stupid ads. If you can't then another trick works alot of times where you turn on the program then hit pause & just chill for ten mins or so, then press play, show comes on & you zip through the ads....if it catches up you just do the same thing all over again.
If it states can't fast forward then most times I won't watch that show if if do I just turn off the sound so I don't have to listen to the ads, showing you the same crap you can't afford or the med ads that are designed to kill people then latter you see "If you took this crap & it caused this, this, this injury or a loved one DIED call lawyer dumdum, we'll get you the money blah, blah, blah."
Netflix is $10. A month AD FREE.
totally agree. Optimum which is my cable service, you can pause and rewind, and pause and take a shower or something, come back and hit play, FF through the ads, especially the ads for the medicines that say it'll cure my stuffy and runny nose, but it'll case severe nausea and vomiting, severe headaches, possibly go into severe and possibly deadly convulsions..... but my nose will clear up.
but the fact still remains that the actual TV show was still around 27 minutes long, and it was quality TV to boot! Ok..here's what really urks me to bits and pieces. The advertisers pay the networks X amount of dollars and the networks will gladly run them. This has nothing to do with you or I. We the customer are absolutely at the bottom of the totem pole, My interest, your interest, your neighbor's interest does not matter one ioda to the networks. We are invisible to them. It a business. And it stinks.
Also, I do have Netflix. It kind of feels like to me, sort of pseudo TV. Yes, the they have TV that's familiar, but still... lol pseudo.
It's positively horrible Jessie. What convinces me that we, the customer are not important to the cable companies at all. Not in the least bit. The ad agencies are paying our cable companies huge sums of money to advertise on their channels. That's what keeps the cable companies in business.
As for the customer? We are unequivocally at the bottom of their totem pole and for all intensive purposes, we do not exist. In fact, we probably just get in the cable company's way.
