It has to do with the “transatlantic accent”. When radio was getting bigger it became clear that a new “standard” accent had to be created so that a southerner in America and a Londoner in England could understand each other over the radio. This accent carried on into the world of television. An accent that was (usually) self-taught. It was meant to be clear and without any accent or slang meaning as long as you spoke English you could understand it perfectly.
ARGH man i really was hoping that wasn't him he looks like shit, and like he needed the money and would rather not be doing such a shitty commercial. probably the low point of his career
I like how old commercials took their time to have a conversation about the product unlike commercials nowadays that are in such a rush to brush the message by you so fast that it enters your subconscious before your higher brain can process it.
I'm sure those kids are still alive. Maybe the mother too, if she was 30 in that commercial (which looked to be somewhere around 1955-1958), then she'd be 90 to 93 now. Just saying maybe, my grandmother lived to 97
+Timesmanify Actually, a lot of the processed food junk from back then did contain multiple chemicals that are known to actually cause cancer (not just an increased risk) :\ Plus you have all the cigarette ads telling you smoking is good for you.. So yeah, imagine how many more people WOULD be alive :P Oh, also it was only in 1990 when the NLEA started requiring all food products to list nutritional information and all ingredients :) So back then, if food had the ingredients listed, a few could've been omitted any nobody would've been the wiser :D
The so-called "banning" of cigarette commercials in 1970 was actually a windfall for tobacco companies, since no company could then advertise anymore, they saved probably billions in advertising.
One thing about the 50's and 60's I recall is that on television there were more westerns on than there are now, detective shows seemed to abound and the sitcoms all seemed to deal with Dad and his job, or Chip finding a date for the whatever, or Brenda Sue trying to decide which boy to go with to the whatever. Screw the Korean War, race issue, Russia, the bomb, or any world crisis. TV was escapism.
The cartoons were a damn sight better as well, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and all the others that went with the 60s, like Speed Racer and Gigantor these commercials really bring back more than a few memories. The 50s and 60s were good times to grow up in, and just be a kid.
I sent off for one of those secret decoders, when I was a kid. Waited two weeks to get it, then anxiously had to wait for another week for the next episode of Cpt Midnight! Copied the code..... After three weeks, I was sitting on pins and needles...... the code said "Drink Ovaltine Everyday!"
@Dream Gary that's why you grow your own !couldn't do that back in the day without living in fear about being caged with murders and rapist! In fact alot of weed in the 70s was laced with PCP!!! Didn't know PCP or angels dust was organic!
theblacktweezer Drives wives into rideing ther husbands wild lmao...shows u even in the 50s n 60s as much as they wanna defend themselves there no diffrent lmao
Sad to say I remember watching all of these when they were new... alka-seltzer was made in south bend Indiana., as a boy I met the midget who voiced speedy... he was my dads friend... Dick Beal. He even came with me to school one day... he was the hit of show and tell. Before it was over, the whole school assembled in the gym, he signed autographs for everyone including staff. He was only 4 1/2 feet, but a heart as big as the sky.
Yyyyyyeeeeesssss, "A Christmas Story". Actually, that movie was set in the early 40s, I think--not the 50s-60s. (9:10 Lifebuoy Soap--that's what caused Ralphie's "blindness" in the movie, according to his Dad.)
I'll never go without showing my kids these this is so special its crazy how generations have blossomed now. Would be cool to see this kind of commercial nowadays haha .

The 50's was a world within it's own bubble that can never be truly recreated or imitated. Outside of the racism, I would've loved to experience greaser life in the 50's
Where I lived as a (white) child, in a big city suburb, in the 1950s, life was like some kind of semi-utopia. I walked, ran, and biked from before dawn to well after dark, most days of the week when not in school, all year long, in a 5+-mile radius from home, by myself, from age 8. I never saw anyone glance at me sideways. There were no fears greater than that of crossing a nearby highway - which saw maybe a dozen cars a minute at rush hour. Adults were uniformly nice to kids. Some of my newspaper route customers would invite me in when I was "collecting" - we had to go around door-to-door and collect payments monthly. They would feed me, sit me down to play chess, show me their art collections. Over several years doing this, into my mid-teens, not once did I encounter even a *hint* of anything improper or threatening. We roamed free, walking into friend's unlocked houses without knocking, to drag them out to play. We climbed the neighbor's highest trees and ran through everyone's yard as though we owned all of them, and no one ever complained. We collected fish, reptiles, and amphibians out of the local streams and brought them home for our terrariums before pollution ravaged the environment. We built tree forts and fell out of them. We built mud forts in each other's yards and pelted each other with onion grass clods in our "gang wars". I could go on. I know, this does sound like B.S. But I exaggerate not. Looking back, it seems like an amazing dream.
@@AmazingArends Are you trying to make a joke? Did "murder" not exist until someone created a word for it? If you're being sarcastic, it isn't working.
We kept that long glass bottle of Alka-seltzer in our fridge. Mom always wanted a couple of Alka-seltzer after a shouting match with Dad. Swish and swirl 🤬, swish and swirl🤬...😆❤️
I grew up in the 60's, and it just amazes me on how many people in these comments who weren't even born yet are such experts on how it was back then! If you haven't been there done that..you don't know shit! BTW... Bosco was way better than Oveltine!I
Then by that logic, nobody is allowed to speak about the lifestyles of the Ancient Greeks because nobody on this fucking planet was alive at the time. Is that what you are saying? Lighten up, boomer.
@@zatchbell622 You can speak about it, but when 90% of the comments attempt to make the 60's appear as if they were the dark ages where children were enslaved in camps and the telephone hadn't been invented yet, then yeah they need to STFU. Because they are not speaking about the era, they are just throwing fucking shade to prove that they are superior to people who lived back then. They're trolling fucking ass wipes, so Bullwinkle is right.
I, too, want to thank you for sharing these very memorable jingles with us. I remember them in real time...which makes me officially old :D But they were written in such a way that you could not help but remember the lines. Fun, catchy and to the point without mega "sets" What a novel idea!Life was a bit slower then and families were more in tact. It really is amazing how they reflect such a huge change in our American ideals/life. Although everyone didn't look like the families depicted, many looked similar.

“Tell mom to buy this for you.” Damn they didn’t play around back then, it’s not even “ask your mom.” Just TELL her
Kid got what I think they called a knuckle sandwich, probably contained a lot of fat and sugar
"Telling" had a different meaning back then.
You better tell her or your family is going down you little sh*t

Yes, it is. Despite Vitaly's skepticism Buster had a second phase of his career in 1950-60's TV and movies. Check out his Wikipedia page.

Adults were uniformly nice to kids. Some of my newspaper route customers would invite me in when I was "collecting" - we had to go around door-to-door and collect payments monthly. They would feed me, sit me down to play chess, show me their art collections. Over several years doing this, into my mid-teens, not once did I encounter even a *hint* of anything improper or threatening. We roamed free, walking into friend's unlocked houses without knocking, to drag them out to play. We climbed the neighbor's highest trees and ran through everyone's yard as though we owned all of them, and no one ever complained.
We collected fish, reptiles, and amphibians out of the local streams and brought them home for our terrariums before pollution ravaged the environment. We built tree forts and fell out of them. We built mud forts in each other's yards and pelted each other with onion grass clods in our "gang wars". I could go on.
I know, this does sound like B.S. But I exaggerate not. Looking back, it seems like an amazing dream.
lymanmj that sounds fun
NOT A COP I agree. Me too
"Racism" didn't exist before 1930 because the word hadn't been invented yet.
@@AmazingArends Are you trying to make a joke? Did "murder" not exist until someone created a word for it? If you're being sarcastic, it isn't working.
Alka Seltzer has been around for decades, and still works🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
I love how in your face the adverts are.
We just lost Jack (Jimmy Olson) Larson. RIP
@David Pyc Thanks to all those cigarette ads, I suppose. :( Well that, and the fact that 1950 was 70 years ago.
I’ll take about 10 bars of that lifebuoy soap. What a gas!
It all seems so comforting these old commercials
Some neat stuff on your channel, maximum respect
I almost spit!!! I was actually drinking some Alkaline Seltzer when that ad came in LOL
Lorrie Harkey haha that stuff keeps happening
To me lately ! It’s so strange when synchronicities happen like that
gosh it's crazy how different times are now (2015)
+Heather S I wonder if the 2050's will be anything like this
nice collection thanks.
After watching the tootsie roll pop commercial, I went and got some right after. 1950 ads still be working
"Buy new improved Cloggo!" Glops up your arteries better than ever!
We kept that long glass bottle of Alka-seltzer in our fridge. Mom always wanted a couple of Alka-seltzer after a shouting match with Dad. Swish and swirl 🤬, swish and swirl🤬...😆❤️
I love watching old videos it's so relaxing..
Watching these commercials is like traveling back to a different time and place where things were a lot more simplistic and seemed almost perfect.
I grew up in the 60's, and it just amazes me on how many people in these comments who weren't even born yet
are such experts on how it was back then! If you haven't been there done that..you don't know shit!
BTW... Bosco was way better than Oveltine!I
And that’s our fault because...
Then by that logic, nobody is allowed to speak about the lifestyles of the Ancient Greeks because nobody on this fucking planet was alive at the time. Is that what you are saying? Lighten up, boomer.
Alec Pantaleoni there's truth to both sides. But don't strawman the guy. Gtfoh with your fallacies.
Well said!
@@zatchbell622 You can speak about it, but when 90% of the comments attempt to make the 60's appear as if they were the dark ages where children were enslaved in camps and the telephone hadn't been invented yet, then yeah they need to STFU. Because they are not speaking about the era, they are just throwing fucking shade to prove that they are superior to people who lived back then. They're trolling fucking ass wipes, so Bullwinkle is right.
modern commercials are obnoxious. These are catchy and intersting.
MrTurbowhitey how it feels to chew 5 gum
if that triple good tootsie pop commercial isnt obnoxious i don't know what is
Idk man a commercial telling me to keep smoking doesn’t really seem to interesting
Tobuscus Lover Yeah like todays commercials telling you to take drugs and alcohol that fucks your life? Sure muuuuch better.
I had to stop watching when I heard the obnoxious crunching of the cereal being chewed.
I, too, want to thank you for sharing these very memorable jingles with us. I remember them in real time...which makes me officially old :D But they were written in such a way that you could not help but remember the lines. Fun, catchy and to the point without mega "sets" What a novel idea!Life was a bit slower then and families were more in tact. It really is amazing how they reflect such a huge change in our American ideals/life. Although everyone didn't look like the families depicted, many looked similar.
The only commercials I enjoy watching
Nowadays, thank God for the "mute" button.
Imagine watching ads from the 50s and enjoying them
4:32 had me deadd, that pie is dry af
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I remember some of those old fifties television commercials another blast from the past.
5:56 James died on June 3, 1997, from lung cancer at his home in Palm Springs.[2] His remains were interred at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles.[9]
Wouldn't be funny for the Superman skit to have been part of the show! Talk about product placement, LOL! Sugar Smacks are called Honey Smacks now.
Love these early day commercials . They are simple and to the point . No high cost production values
Hello Linda, how are you doing?
I had this exact collection of commercials on VHS back in the 90s!!
