Damn, that rabbit has been trying to get trix for over 50 years.
omfg ikr 😂😂😂
+LookAlive_ Sunshine13 Looks like he got them at the end of the commercial.
Robert Young , I feel sorry for Silly Rabbit.Give him some Trix.
Right he should of stopped after the first time
Rob Young ikr cant they just give it him the trix
I'm sitting here wondering how in the hell an 18 year old such as myself can get nostalgic looking at shit way before my time.
Holy crap I thought it was just me. Why the hell do I feel so sad and nostalgic even though I was born in 1994?
I know rite!!! I can totally relate!!! Born 1990!!!!
Same here, I was born in 1998. But it feels like I grew up watching these commercials, when I know they were way, way, way before I was even alive. In fact they were before my mom was alive.
Speak for yourself I'm 13 at the time of writing and I get nostalgic.
Same
that pizzarolls commercial is so awesome!!!
Isn't it weird to think that most of the people in these commercials are dead now?
Edit: I know that a lot of them are old not dead, I was mainly referring to the elders and adults in these commercials 😅
no I think that
how about the child in the commercial
Sagar Pratap Singh In his 50's or 60's
I can still remember when these commercials were running! I'm far from dead, but the social cohesion that existed in this era is long since dead now. There was a time when having a kid out of wedlock or getting a divorce would have landed you on the front page of the paper to live in shame, but today, it's the fucking norm in a lot of communities, especially the African ones. It's disgraceful to look back on this and then see where we've gone since then. It's no wonder this country has turned into a bowel of runny shit!
These commercials represent an ideal obtainable for a decidedly entitled segment of the population. Luring children into demanding sugar cereal by offering toys. Pushing stomach remedies because smoking and overindulging was a national past time. Your memory of the social structure of the time is tempered by your own experience: America was not great for everyone back then, regardless of the Madison Avenue interpretation.
2019: All these sideffects will kill you. 1960s: stomach woes, endless stomach woes
That Jeno's Pizza Rolls commercial was hilarious!
Yes, that would work today
It was,Jeno's Pizza Rolls are also my favorite food.Wish they had those Flavors featured back on the Market later on.
Holly Brooke it was tho
I think that ad was made by Stan Freberg, the comedian, because his commercials often parodied the techniques used in other commercials, which is what happens in this ad.
I know you commented 6 years ago, but I'll give it a shot. If you think that was funny, watch this one: th-cam.com/video/HxeZo7gRkeA/w-d-xo.html
I'm dying over the Jeno's pizza lady. She more or less kicked Mrs. Olson and her can of Folgers out of her damn house! 😂
Mrs. Johnson is a play on Mrs. Olsen in the Jeno's Pizza Rolls spot.
Showed this to my grandmom...she remembers them all. 💚
They were obsessed with coffee and their stomachs in the 60s. Lots of stress trying to get ahead, keep up with the Joneses then.
And forgeting the shit they saw in Korea
Oh and you don't think everyone is trying to keep up with the Jones today? You are in a dreamlike. Lol
And white shirts with no underarm stains, or ring around the collar. Really, I don't recall the stomach problems as any worse than today.
And LSD
Not just stress from "trying to get ahead," but also from dealing with the turmoil of the 1960s (Vietnam, protests that sometimes turned violent, racial tension, the Generation Gap, the Sexual Revolution, Women's Lib, the Hippie movement, the beginning of the Gay Rights campaign, the increasing drug problem, the rising crime rate, the escalating Cold War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Bay Of Pigs fiasco, etc).
The Pizza Roll Ad was genius, and would still be relevant and funny today. Jenos (or maybe it's Totinos that bought out Jenos) Pizza Rolls are still going strong. It says something about a product when 50 yrs later they are still popular.
I was just thinking that. That ad seemed so modern in style, and even how they spoke.
@@rivereuphrates8103 that's because it was made by stan freberg.
I think the ad was done by the genius Stan Freberg.
That Jeno's Pizza Roll commercial was one of the funniest commercials I've ever seen.
People had a lot of gas, diarrhea, constipation, and food poisoning back in the 1960s.
They really liked their coffee too
THEN TAKE ALKA SELTER IT'LL MAKE YA FEEL BETTER
Fuck come rocks lol
why did this comment make my day
1960 back, then the salary was different. All houses, cars are not so expensive as nos
Ms Clark is kicking ass while informing us about jeno's pizza rolls.
Damn the narrators are always so relaxing
Great memories. Back then they had good toys in the cereals. Thanks for posting these commercials.
Oldie here. It was 74' when toys went into cereal boxes. But they were toxic. People can't figure out why my generation is so sick ;) the food and drug admin plus the government started us REAL young. In the womb.
@@amylee3531The Frito Bandito eraser went into six lunch box sized bag packages of Fritos in 1968. My friends at school and I all had one and used to sing the song. First grade. Commercial was in black and white, at least what I’ve found here.
7:25 THATS MY GRANDMA !!! she was so pretty :,(
It's hard to believe your grandmother IS a "grandmother" these days......
I loved her on the Electric Company!
Does she still use Cheer?
I thought grandma looks familiar
th-cam.com/video/DPI63UKkdHY/w-d-xo.html
Really?
The coffee one at the party with the pizza rolls and the husband didn't want his wife's coffee was funny. Especially when the wife said I don't know how you got in my house 😂
Now I want Jeno's pizza rolls do they still sell them?...
As a child I could never understand why Charlie the tuna wanted Star Kissed to choose him . He would be killed, chopped up, and eaten.
Perhaps he was suicidal.
I guess the earlier commercials were lost, I' all never see them again. The later ones Charlie tuna keeps saying "good taste" an they aren't funny at all... the ones before that he's sneaking up, trying and trying so hard to get caught on the fish hook, it goes up quick, and then comes down again"Sorry, Charlie " they were really funny at times,but I only saw them once, getting harder and harder to remember...
Bobby Francis You might be able to find one of the old commercials here on TH-cam. I agree with you. They were funnier.
Notice the difference between the women in the early 1960's commercials and the mid to late 1960's commercials. By 1968, the women in commercials portrayed as more intelligent and powerful.
Love that Cheer commercial which featured Judy Graubart, long before she was on The Electric Company. A classic.
cereals used to have the greatest toys then. My brother and I would beat each other up to get the toy out of the bottom of a new box.
Omg, i still have scars from battling MY younger brother for prizes out of the sugary sweet awesome cereals we enjoyed for a super spazztic breakfast. Once Honey Combs came out with the state license plates we (the 4 of us) went insane and mom sent away for the set of 50 - what a happy day THAT was when that brown package came in the mail...i think it was either summer of '79 or '80...memories : (
And records on the back
From sugar awe honey honey
Josey and the pussy cats
remember the captain crunch whistle that let you hack phone lines
I miss the cereal box toys :( I forgot until your comment reminded me
Pokemario Fan hack phone lines? Do tell
Wow, I'd forgotten how laundry could be so exciting!
I had no idea pizza rolls existed in the 60s....I grew up in the 80s, and ate pizza rolls, funny has a kid I just thought the cereals & foods I ate came out in the 80s...glad these commercials are uploaded, there are so many foods, drinks, & other things I didn't knew were older them me, Trix, Lucky Charms, and pizza rolls are all older than me, had no idea my parents grew up eating the same cereals as I did as a kid!
Pizza rolls and tv dinners weee way better then. Fyi.
Those days use to be so innocent and genuine. Everyone just enjoyed the moment
Better than today's commercials! 👍
You really helped me understand the era on a much better level having posted this, really appreciate it
Now these are ads you can actually watch without getting annoyed!
Sad that the commercials back then were more entertaining than the shows that they have on today.I remember growing up in the 60's and only had 4 channels on the tv and yet there was always something worth watching on.
Tim, it's this weird thing called 'being a kid'. Everything seems new and virgin. Now you're older and realize all the things you didn't. Shows aren't getting worse, you're just getting old.
Boardthesnow09 Sorry to tell you but i know the difference between crap and gravy.Reality shows are just a bunch of bull shit that cost nothing to make.Its the networks way of saving money and and still producing a product that the mindless viewer with no intelligence will buy into.Its not even entertainment its someone with a camera filming people with no acting experience or even a script.I might be getting old but i am not getting stupid.
tim hale Reality show are not considered TV and they never will be. Ever watched Thrones, True Detective, House of Cards, etc? There's tons of good content out there. There's hope I promise. I felt the same way until recently.
Reality shows are not considered to be tv?They are not shown at theaters so i would suggest they are considered to be tv shows.And yes i have seen throne of tides and true detective and house of cards and they are just remakes of old shows that have been remade over and over.
+tim hale I agree, Tim. It's all crap compared to back then.
Holy fuck that Jeno's pizza rolls one actually made me laugh pretty good
I remember these ads!
3:28 it's the first commercial that parodies other commercials 😂 man the slap 😂😂
Wow, '60s people had a lot of stomach problems...
Metalhead91 now they have prilosec
And they had sleeping pills ( take Somenix tonight and sleep, safe and restful sleep...sleep...sleep) a woman was singing that.
Lack of advanced medicine and people was trying to develop nonetheless.
Maybe because processed food was still relatively new and our bodies couldn’t handle it.
I remember these!
Commercials were very different compared to today's.
The best commercials!!!
Even that 7-UP ad with the hammy actor?
@@luisreyes1963 Yep
I would totally go back in time to be in the 60's
Me too. I would try to meet people like Jim Morrison; BEFORE he became famous!
Me, too, then my whole family would be there to be with!
Take your blouse and get outta my house!
I just love how vaguely creepy commercials from the 60s and 70s tend to look. Maybe it's the softness/scratchyness of the film, maybe it's because the productions were much rougher compared to now, or maybe it's how there is bit of psychedelic hippy influence in so many commercials of that era.
I love it, and I wish the "film-o-vision" commercial would make a comeback.
Life before the internet. Go look at a People magazine from the 90s and it reveals how somewhat less obsessed (at least than now) with appearance even celebrities were.
Judy with Cheer laundry detergent. I had forgotten all about her. Man, she must have been on a dozen different Cheer commercials.
Thank you. You brought back many memories.
I am 62 years old and I remember nthis commershol
The Pizza Rolls commercial eas HILARIOUS.
All there was in medicine cabinets were Alka Seltzer - Pepto Bismal & Aspirin.👁
Half the meds they advertise today hadn't been invented yet . a lot of stuff being marketed today is the same stuff as back then or already in the marketplace just with a molecule changed and viola , a new product with a new name but doing the same as other meds on the market . and a new patent to boot .
They had a pain reliever called anicen that was slightly addictive and it gave you ulcers.
The 60's were a stressful time. 😥
Much of my humor vocabulary has its roots in the millions of commercials I was exposed to in the 60s-70s.
Yes, the Jeno's ad WAS produced by Stan Freberg in 1969 (he's also the one off-camera who talks about "cleaner blouses")- Patty Regan is "Mrs. Louise Clark". Mort Marshall is the voice of the "Trix Rabbit". General Mills primarily sponsored (and owned) "Rocky & Bullwinkle" and "Underdog"- hence, their occasional use as premiums in "Big G" cereals. That's George S. Irving and Paul Dooley in the Gillette Foamy spot. Herschel Bernardi is "Charlie"- Henry Corden is his "friend" in the Star-Kist ad.
I never smoked a day in my life, but I really enjoyed the old Benson and Hedges 100s commercials, and the tune was nice.

The Alka Seltzer commercial Cracked me up!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
3:26 That commercial was most definitely way ahead of its time
I remember a number of these airing when I was a kid.
Damn they used to have slabs of tuna in that can
Fun viewing! Thanks so much 4 the posting! :)
Oooohhh. I just LOVE these older commercials. They truly don’t make’um like they used to. So clever and funny that you just have to listen to watch and listen to them. I love the Maxwell House one with the percolator sound. Some more of my favorites are: the Hamms Beer commercials.”From the land of sky blue water….” I can’t text that without singing it to myself. 🎵🎶😅😅😅 Also, “It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature”, and “The best thing to walking up is Folgers in your cup”, or as the little boy said, “The best thing to waking up is “solders” in your cup. 😂😂😂😂😂
I wish I lived in the 60s. No internet. Care free.
Life was beautiful back then. :)
+snacklish - I lived back then. I'll take modern times over the 60s any day. Because of no internet, home PCs, grainy TV with only 3 channels and a booster antenna on the roof, no cell phones, cable, GPS, etc. It kinda sucked back then lol.
I didn't exist back in the 60's but it looks interesting back then tho
you said it
It was beautiful. I'd go back in an instant!
Arthur-sama
None of your business, fruitcake.
just love this stuff !!!!!
Have just favorited because of the Jeno's commercial; it's genius!
The Jeno's Pizza Rolls ad reminds me of Stan Freberg's work.
Stan produced the Jeno's Pizza Rolls commercials back then (he's also the one who yells off-camera, "Louise Clark...START WEARING CLEANER BLOUSES!!!").
@@fromthesidelines
Yes, I just left a comment about this in another part of this thread, where I said I thought the ad was made by Stan Freberg.
By the way, the actress who played Louise is this commercial looked familiar to me. Does anyone know her name?
Most of the commercials today are medical related and about health care. I change the channel when they come on these days. There is no entertainment in most of them today.
Maybe that's why I enjoy watching these so much
It's been a few years since I watched tv, but when I did, daytime commercials would be promoting a pill. In the evenings, the commercials would be promoting a class action suit for the same pill being advertised during the day. Funny as heck lol!
I feel sorry for you if the most entertainment you got from television back then was what aired between the shows
Back when commercials were fun :)
"Judy" is Judy Graubart, a Second City comedienne and known for her work on the original Electric Company. That scatterbrained delivery is part of her shtick.
I knew that I recognized her from somewhere.
Not 7 years agooooo
Winnie from Electric Company.
Thanks!!! I remember her but couldn't place her.
one of the best times on this earth!
our peek....
i didnt know they had pizza rolls back than!
They still do have those on the Market.Wish they had the Flavors featured in it later on.
Clayton Moore the Lone Ranger did an ad for pizza rolls. Tenos or some such
@@kieranorourke766 It was for Jeno's Pizza Rolls & was an indirect satire of a certain cigarette ad.
The cheers commercial looks like something that came out of the mid 70's.
Thanks!!!! This is a terrific collection!!! Excellent cultural history. ☮️💟
I remember these
I'm thirteen, and I find that these commercials are sooooo much better than the ones we have today. They were funnier, and amusing. Today, it's just a bunch of commercial products that cost too much, and don't work. I wish I lived in the 70-80's
Man now you're 23, hows it feel?
The woman doing laundry seemed like she needed a helmet
OMG the pizza rolls one tho
+Bellatrix For a second I thought that one was a spoof.
eggbass haha same
I miss that time... :'(
How people can give it "unlike"...
It's super cool, like shrek.
I pray to shrek every night before sleep...
Sid Raymond (the one in the fedora) is in the "Instant Maxwell House" ad; Huntz Hall is the "caveman" in the Alka-Seltzer ad; Patty Regan in the "Jeno's" spot [Stan Freberg, who wrote and produced it, is the ominous off-screen voice]. Shep Menken and Henry Corden are the voices in the Star-Kist ad.
Barry, thts actually Herschel Bernardi along with Henry Corden in the star Kist spot. Bernardi was the voice of Charlie until he passed away.
Well, Herschel wasn't available for EVERY "Star-Kist" commercial; this one had Menken "filling in" for him.
Thanks forvthe info on the Starkist voices. Really funny now.
This is a terrific collection of classic tv commercials! Thsnk you for sharing it!!! Brings back wonderful memories.
something about these are mind calming and put me at ease and to sleep
The good old days.. when children could eat sugary cereal and not get fat, because they were outside on the playground with their friends, getting exercise.. and not glued to electronic devices or video games.
Kay Bee That was entirely why kids were much more healthy back then
Karin Bauer Exactly. Back then, folks were also much more slimmer and healthier because they actually got out and did things instead of being glued to their phones 24/7 and all tech-savvy like today! But Anorexia was very common back then *(it's when one is so skinny they actually become sick)* but time was certainly much more graceful and standardized than in this unruly generation today! I think today's world could learn from this.
Karin Bauer my mom never had sweets she had apples as treats and she always was active
Dazzled Roblox xoxo That sounds a lot like me and my brother's childhoods. We mostly ate apples and mangoes and ran around going places such as bike riding or walking with our friends. I believe children still do these things, going out and being active, though not as much as they used to.
Brianna Wilson Cool glad you can relate to it :D
That Alka Seltzer commercial was very animated for its time 😊
the good ole days
The grocer in the Gillette Foamy ad is George S. Irving, who did the narration in the Underdog cartoons.
That Alka-Seltzer cartoon ad was as dark and creepy as any contemporary anime; the Jeno's Pizza Rolls ad (which parodied Mrs. Olsen and Folgers coffee) was by Stan Freburg; Trix cereal giving away German Stuka and Japanese Zero model toy planes; All-Temperature Cheer's Judy seems really drunk and/or high; Paul Dooley (who would later play the dad in "Sixteen Candles") plugging "lemon-lime" shaving cream; and an extremely suicidal Charlie the Tuna. Great memories, thanks.
Love the 1900's commercials. They're original.
I think you meant 1960s.
Ahhh brings back memory
Thank You so much for every thing you come up with for the great videos. York guys out do your self day after day. I love this channel so very much. keep up the great work .you guys are just totally amazing....this was a message from Mike in down town York, Pennsylvania.America's first capital..
I love me some Tang!!
I want some Tang in the morning...
I do too!
***** mmm yum.
Yeah and have your cup of more calcium than orange ʝυι¢є today 😄🍊
No, you don't want to drink Tang, it really wasn't good. I am old enough to remember many of these advertisements.
A great blast from the past.
I had the major hots for Judy Graubart when I was a kid watching the Electric Company...Jennifer of the Jungle!
Would be nice if they listed what year these came out. Just so I can mentally put them in the Mad Men timeline.
who are you?
Batman
Buitoni frozen toaster pizza
Currently watching... Ep 5
I'm WebVMan.
The tuna commercial reminds me of how one could buy tuna in it's own oil back then. And you got 400% of your daily vitamin D requirement in one serving. Yep. Tuna oil is loaded with vitamin D. And much more tasty and delicious than the water packed slop you buy today.
you can still buy tuna in oil. it's the only way I buy it.
Kimberly Garvey Sorry to burst your bubble and bring you to reality but look closely at the ingredients. The natural tuna oil has been removed and cheap vegetable oil has replaced it. You can't buy tuna with it's natural oil. (It's loaded with Vitamin D. They take out the oil, put it in capsules and sell it to you as Vitamin D supplements.)
I'm 23 watching commercials from before I even existed. Fascinating...
I miss TANG. That was a staple growing up in the 80's.
They still make tang
I want a springy!
If they thought Tang tasted "natural", all I've got to say is yes it did. It naturally tasted like crap!
no idea why, but that Gillette lemon lime commercial makes me laugh everytime.
The guy who says that there is no such thing as lemon-lime in the supermarket would reappear in a future Trac II ad telling people
he is out of Trac II blades and would con them into using other
blades in his store. RIP, George S. Irving.
here we sit ,going to youtube to watch commercials of our youth. when most of us hate the commercials we have today, i am constantly having to mute my t.v. as i am bombarded by commercials THAT I CANT STAND. at least these were entertaining.
Wow! Colour adverts. We didn't get colour until the mid 70s!
Also what's a freezer, once again they were only popular in uk in the 70s. You had to do a daily shop until you had one!
There were color in the 60s but it was just expensive
There was a popular TV show then called "The FBI". But I remember it as The FBI In Color (because that's what the announcer said). Terrible show actually.
Color was available in the US since the mid 50's, but the price to covert were too high, so many stations chose the cheap way out. I also think that there were 2 color systems competing for domination, which caused many to pause. Some used color, which is why you can find the old Betty Whyte footage in color from waaay back. A Dallas station used color and as far as I know, they were the only color broadcaster - local or national, who showed footage of the JFK assassination in color. If national at least converted to color, the 50's and all of the 60's would not look as primitive as they do now.
Jeno's pizza hilarious
terence sommer - “Who knows? Jeno’s.”
Love commercials from each every decade !
You're quite welcome, 'Bertonator'. Incidentally, I forgot to tell that, in the "Triactin" ad, veteran New York character/commercial actor Bill McCutcheon is the first "victim", and Bill Fiore (who appeared in hundreds of commercials, including the Right Guard ads opposite Chuck McCann) is the guy next to the lady.
That pizza roll commercial was a spoof on all the other commercials of the 60's...Hi karate after shave....pretty much every laundry soap...and the coffee
And MS Olsen with her horrible instant coffee.
It's before Internet existed
I grew up then and remember several of those ads when I was a kid. To put things in context I was just over 30 when I first got internet access at work. Websites were static text and a few images that took forever to load. In the 60s we had four TV channels and (apart from TV) got most of our info from newspapers and magazines. To hang with my friends I had to actually go see them. On the other hand, I was a lot less aware of things outside my own experience compared to kids now.
these commercials are so old before I was born love how these cartoon animation look.
I remember so many of these!! space food sticks!!!! tang tastes like crud now..
