On the Winston ad on the Flintstones, Fred & Barney met their wives at a nightclub, where Wilma & Betty worked as cigarette girls, carrying around a tray of smokes to sell to the nightclub customers.
Wunder Boner seems like it should be an SNL skit! I remember the commercial too. I was young and it went right over my head. What a treat today though hahahaha!!!
I remember those Ayds candies. The name is what killed them as the AIDS virus became more widespread. It would be if I made a candy bar in 2019 called the covid bar. Just a naming issue. They say even sales of Corona beer slumped for a while simply because of the name.
Corona beer did lose some sales because COVID-19 was first referred to as a "coronavirus", but eventually, it was just called COVID-19. Its classification as a coronavirus was no longer brought up; and the brand Corona had been around for decades so it didn't have long-term damage to the brand name.
So true. In 1977 I was a waitress in a Big Boy restaurant. They had a really good burger with Swiss, red onion on a pumpernickel bun. It was geared toward men but it wouldn't sell because it was called the "Swiss Miss". Men didn't want it an women didn't care for it due to the huge size and strong onion. They changed the name to the Brawny Burger- problem solved. Ihop understood this trend and went the other way with the "Rooty Tooty Fresh 'n Fruity" which everyone got a kick out of saying because it was embarrassingly funny. Not sure how the Quiche fared tho when restaurants started listing it as the "egg pie".
If they weren't a sponsor, and didn't have any other cigaret sponsors, yes, would've been a good gag name. Who knows how many potential TV gags have been torpedoed by sponsorship or potential sponsorship? The Simpsons must've figured Percodan was never going to advertise on TV, even decades into the reruns, even with all the other prescription drug advertising going on.
"Winston tastes good like a cigarette should"... I remember back, decades ago, when smoking was still allowed in restaurants. I could never order dessert from this one place since the case was in the smoking section... and tasted to me like cigarette butts and ashes 😝.
There used to be a game called Ballbusters. There were a number of balls on long springs plugged into a base. You'd pull a ball back and let it go. The ball would spring back and hit one of the other player's balls which would then fly apart. The ad said, "The object of the game is to bust your opponent's balls!"

OK so I have actually had HIV/AIDS since 1984. I remember as a child, being born in 1964, those commercials for the ayds diet plan. I remember getting into the box of my mom’s candies, sorry diet pills, and eating most of the box. When she found out she was horrified and watch door for me for some time as we couldn’t afford to go to the emergency room back then. The only other time that I ate chocolate flavored stuff not knowing what it was was when I was four I got into the Ex-Lax, chocolate flavored Ex-Lax. I had eaten the entire thing. Love seeing this commercial and glad somebody else gets the funny.
@@twiztinupblunts4031 he's aware. luckily, its not a death sentence anymore and u can take medication for it. its so improved u may only have to take a shot every once in a while.
I'll never forget the time a fellow student of mine made some "chocolate chip"(actually chopped-up Ex-lax) cookies and tried to give them to a teacher. Luckily, the teacher sensed something "off" with the first bite and got suspicious, and spat it out. The student got expelled.
I'm old enough to remember when commercials were minutes long, like that Wunder Boner one that seemed like it would never end. I also knew you would include the Flintstones smoking commercial. But my personal favorite was the dude pointing a gun at the dog. That was so unexpected, I was like, "What the f@#@?" That was messed up
The commercials like this were usually the ones that were on cable channels, and more commonly in the evening and overnight hours if I remember correctly. It was pretty much pre internet "made for tv" sales.
The women that voiced Wilma and Betty of The Flintstones actually had a restrained laugh because they were heavy smokers that would otherwise cough and hack if they laughed more forcibly. “Try peanut butter Ayds” is classic.
I owned a ballzak toy because of that commercial. It was pretty fun from what I remember I think Splash Zone (a ball with a timer similar to hot potato) came out in the same time.
One thing you have to remember about The Flinstones. It was not designed for children It was the 1st prime time animated tv show. It didnt discourage kids from watching but the primary target were adults. Also cigarette adds were common place back then. Every major TV show had cigarette adds. Philip Morris was a major sponsor for I Love Lucy for years. You can still see adds that were not removable such as Lucy.Does a TV Commercial. They cut her line Call for Philip Morris. But she is still wearing the bellboy suit and holding a pack of cigarettes. I agree i couldn't imagine them airing these during the 1980s but by then i think all TV cigarette adds had been banned. I was pretty young and dont really remember seeing cigarette adds on TV.
I laughed at all of them except for the RSPCA ad. That poor dog, and the gun being shoved into his face, really brings home the plight of homeless dogs.
@@rmiller334 wow, you're such a badass. hey everybody look at this badass over here shooting and killing domestic pets! just bask in his micro penis badassery.

Interesting thing I noticed about the RSPCA ad with the dog being shot: the footage actually goes grayscale as the gun shows up, it’s just not noticeable because the dog is black and white already, you can tell by the finger on the trigger which goes white and the dog’s tongue is gray.
I found most of these commercials funny! Mainly because the names of the products sound so awkward!😂 The ad that made me go WTH was the one where someone pulled a gun on the dog! I think it was the RSPCA ad!

You probably laughed in NERVOUS SHOCK at the dog commercial being a Dog Person. 💡🤔 I also laughed in NERVOUS SHOCK when a woman on the old IMDB Messageboards claimed that,"If you don't laugh, you owe me a dollar." I assumed it was going to be HILARIOUS, and she linked to a TH-cam video of her making DISTURBING and CREEPY faces.

Back in the early days of the AIDS pandemic, victims wasted away losing weight fast. Confusion between AIDS and AYDS led to AYDS disappearing from the market.
There was a commercial, it ran for a short time, it had an overworked housewife, frustrated and tired, but when she used northern bathroom tissue it revived her, the commercial was called get in the groove with northern,,,,you cant find it anywhere as far as i know because the company must have eliminated it, knowing it was a disaster, the commercial ran about 40 years ago, maybe some of you remember it😅
The Ayds ad is no more inappropriate than Jenny Craig, Noon, NutriSystem, or any of the other frauds out now. Limu Emu and Doug - now THAT'S inappropriate - no - just stupid.
Three of these are commercials for the appetite suppressant called Ayds - there was nothing "inappropriate" about the commercials (although some may question the idea of losing weight via appetite suppressants - some of which are still on the market)... just that around the same time the disease resulting from HIV was named AIDS. Just a case of poor timing due to giving a disease the same sounding name as the product.
Nothing wrong with any of them The Ayds was just a case of bad timing. It should have been renamed, not because it is offensive but it would have been easier to sell.
A Poster on a video l where The Flintstones commercial was the ONLY commercial being shown actually defended Fred and Barney saying something like,"Fred and Barney actually are hard working executives at a marketing company and we're relaxing after a hard day at work. 🤔💡
I distinctly remember an SNL parody commercial with Garret Morris and Dan Aykroyd for a three bladder safety razor ( back then a single or double was the norm.) At the very end was a close up of Dans face…smiling and saying, “ ‘cause you’ll buy ANYTHING!” The first time I saw a commercial for a real 3 blade product…I immediately thought of that. We are now on 5 blades, I think! I honestly still use a twin if I am not shaving with my straight razor. One blade just takes forever. Two worked the best, especially to get the part where my upper lip meets my nostrils but three or more makes it impossible to get that part… It may be better for girls as they have a lot more area to cover and generally don’t have to shave their face but that SNL commercial was absolutely correct. If anyone can find it post a reply here…
@@nickv1008 Yes, I do also remember the Bass-O-Matic …but what I am talking about is an entire, multi-billion dollar industry of products…correctly predicted by comedians that are in fact redundantly useless or entirely useless that are purchased by the IDIOCRACY as innovations they think they can’t live without. The first two generations of SNL comedians actually wrote or greatly contributed to the writing of the material they performed and were actually LIVE. I believe it was because of Eddie Murphy, during his original stint, that the network (NBC) had received so many fines and complaints (FCC & Karen’s) that a six second delay was imposed. This leads us to today’s lame ass, prerecorded, PC, woke and politically re-educational excuse for a comedy show that I simply will not abide. People used to stay home, invite friends and be at least half as “lubed up” as the SNL players because they knew they were seeing a totally unique show. Most partied on to SCTV afterwards… cocktails flowing and sinsemilla smoke clouds in the air.
Daaang ! RSPCA is a vicious animal when hunting for donations. That dog better have gotten at least 1,000 "Good boy's" after that shoot...er, I mean filming.
@@eddieboggs8306 It’s two words. Corn: from the bags that are usually filled with corn that are tossed in the game Hole: because the object of the game is to toss the corn bags through the hole. Anything else you came up with, came out of your own mind. So maybe it’s your mind that’s offensive.
To be fair, the maker of AYDS would have had NO idea that AIDS would be coming. AYDS was marketed in like 1983. AIDS started circling the world in like 1984. 🤔💡
That one with the dog! I remember back in the early 90s there was a huge controversy over how they "put the animals to sleep" at the Franklin County (Ohio) animal control shelter. The guy in charge would take them out back and dispatch the animals with a single .22LR bullet.
i have absolutely no idea why these are advertised as inappropriate. i'm a female in my 60's and grew up with many of these. some of them are stupid, as are most commercials, but i don't see anything 'inappropriate' unless you're a 'woke' snowflake, finding something offensive in everything you see.
Such is the world we live in today. I’m half your age and I see nothing wrong with them but I can see how the dummies of the world would especially the woke and socialist ones.
When you say that you're in your 60s I can only assume you mean your IQ because you gotta be pretty dense to not understand the simple concept of inappropriateness by immediately conflating it with wokeness and being offended 🤣🤣
there was nothing inappropriate about the ayds or winston ads. ayds were around much longer than the aids virus, and the flintstones was not for kids originally. just like the simpsons, south park, family guy, etc. this was an evening cartoon for adults.
It wasn't even the original. It refers to a National Lampoon Magazine cover at the time that had the headline, "Buy this magazine, or we'll shoot this dog". It was one of those memes that launched a thousand variations in the 1970s..
I just wanna point out that there is a business here in town of house cleaners called "You've got maids". Massively inappropriate is not just for the distant past.
Will I get Ayds if I use the Wonderboner on my Johnson while playing with my Balzac?
Nicely done, sir!

Reminds me of an old basketball joke, who's the better man Larry with his bird or Magic with his JOHNSON. 😆🤣😅
And then Magic ate a box of Ayds. So sorry for that, folks.
I absolutely believe the commercial writers of some of these knew exactly what they were doing.
The flintstones Winston ad seemed more offensive because Fred and Barney were so lazy.
Lazy sacks they were:
Barney: "I hate to see the girls workin' so hard."
Fred: "Yeah...uh, let's go around back where we can't see 'em!"
A Poster on a video l where The Flintstones commercial was the ONLY commercial being shown actually defended Fred and Barney saying something like,"Fred and Barney actually are hard working executives at a marketing company and we're relaxing after a hard day at work. 🤔💡
These real commercial from the past looks like something you would see on SNL when they would do one of those silly Commercial ads.
Bass-o-matic, for blending fish, bones n all.
I distinctly remember an SNL parody commercial with Garret Morris and Dan Aykroyd for a three bladder safety razor ( back then a single or double was the norm.) At the very end was a close up of Dans face…smiling and saying, “ ‘cause you’ll buy ANYTHING!”
The first time I saw a commercial for a real 3 blade product…I immediately thought of that. We are now on 5 blades, I think!
I honestly still use a twin if I am not shaving with my straight razor. One blade just takes forever. Two worked the best, especially to get the part where my upper lip meets my nostrils but three or more makes it impossible to get that part…
It may be better for girls as they have a lot more area to cover and generally don’t have to shave their face but that SNL commercial was absolutely correct. If anyone can find it post a reply here…
Still cant top the bass master.. 1 step fish preparation. 👍👍
@@nickv1008 Yes, I do also remember the Bass-O-Matic …but what I am talking about is an entire, multi-billion dollar industry of products…correctly predicted by comedians that are in fact redundantly useless or entirely useless that are purchased by the IDIOCRACY as innovations they think they can’t live without.
The first two generations of SNL comedians actually wrote or greatly contributed to the writing of the material they performed and were actually LIVE.
I believe it was because of Eddie Murphy, during his original stint, that the network (NBC) had received so many fines and complaints (FCC & Karen’s) that a six second delay was imposed.
This leads us to today’s lame ass, prerecorded, PC, woke and politically re-educational excuse for a comedy show that I simply will not abide.
People used to stay home, invite friends and be at least half as “lubed up” as the SNL players because they knew they were seeing a totally unique show.
Most partied on to SCTV afterwards… cocktails flowing and sinsemilla smoke clouds in the air.
"How much is that window in the doggie," sang the vivisectionist.
I never thought I would see Fred and barney from the Flintstones smoking
Daaang ! RSPCA is a vicious animal when hunting for donations. That dog better have gotten at least 1,000 "Good boy's" after that shoot...er, I mean filming.
😂😂 the Johnson😂😂😂
Marcus Shark, I laughed so hard & long at the Johnson outboard one that now I've gotta stomach ache!
That's why you should give the money to Uli and Autobahn.
@@martinbachmann6283 You, your family, and your Johnson.... LMAO.
Everyone should enjoy Ayds!
I ate them like they were caramel candy
I didn't see anything inappropriate, just politically incorrect. Before the disease, AYDS were a very popular weight supplement
Exactly. No one thought anything of the name except for wright loss, prior to the disease!
I have an empty box.
Now we have a game called Cornhole. Now that Is offincive.
@@eddieboggs8306
And you don’t think telling everybody that your BOX is empty is offensive?
@@gz9520
No the name is offencive.
Cornhole the game.
@@eddieboggs8306
It’s two words.
Corn: from the bags that are usually filled with corn that are tossed in the game
Hole: because the object of the game is to toss the corn bags through the hole.
Anything else you came up with, came out of your own mind. So maybe it’s your mind that’s offensive.
Moral of the video, think very carefully before you name your product.
To be fair, the maker of AYDS would have had NO idea that AIDS would be coming. AYDS was marketed in like 1983. AIDS started circling the world in like 1984. 🤔💡
I dunno they should bring these back they are hilarious
You and your Johnson!!!!! I laughed so hard I farted!
That's why I love TH-cam!
Summer of '89 was perfect... just me, my Johnson, my Ballsac, and a case of Ayds
You're comment is funny.
Isn't it oddly funny how words change meaning from what they were intended to mean to what they mean now.
Nothing wrong with these ads. They all hit their mark.
That one with the dog! I remember back in the early 90s there was a huge controversy over how they "put the animals to sleep" at the Franklin County (Ohio) animal control shelter. The guy in charge would take them out back and dispatch the animals with a single .22LR bullet.
Wait a minute, the guy in the Animal Control Center was SHOOTING dogs? ☢️😱😳🧐😨😲😵💫 Oh my God! 😵💫😲😨🧐😳😱☢️
Fred Ward was in Tremors. Now he stars in the fish world’s greatest horror movie.
I'm two minutes in and it is just absolutely fuckin funny
Ayds never imagined someone would name a disease " acquired immune deficiency syndrome...
Ayds
AIDS
Ayds. Got a raw deal
I think the announcer in the Wonder Boner commercial is the host of Dirty Jobs. The first voice. Not the guy at the end.
Yeap, totally Mike Rowe. Talk about him always doing dirty jobs. Ever see his QVC clips?
Beat me to the punch, was wondering if it was Mike Rowe too, sure sounds like him.
The whole Ayds thing is just too perfect, any day now I expect to hear that it's been discovered to be some kind of early deep fake.
I think the Johnson commercial knew what they were doing.
i have absolutely no idea why these are advertised as inappropriate. i'm a female in my 60's and grew up with many of these. some of them are stupid, as are most commercials, but i don't see anything 'inappropriate' unless you're a 'woke' snowflake, finding something offensive in everything you see.
Such is the world we live in today. I’m half your age and I see nothing wrong with them but I can see how the dummies of the world would especially the woke and socialist ones.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
When you say that you're in your 60s I can only assume you mean your IQ because you gotta be pretty dense to not understand the simple concept of inappropriateness by immediately conflating it with wokeness and being offended 🤣🤣
Wonderboner... "My wife would like that" 4-6 weeks for delivery- what, no Amazon?
We now know what killed the cavemen....
the commercial at 5:38 is a straight up rip off of the National Lampoon's Cover
Perhaps just one of the AYDS commercials would have sufficed, not three... we get the gag.
Wow. HATED that RSPCA commercial.
there was nothing inappropriate about the ayds or winston ads. ayds were around much longer than the aids virus, and the flintstones was not for kids originally. just like the simpsons, south park, family guy, etc. this was an evening cartoon for adults.
At 00:40, they sing of you, your girl and your Johnson. Sounds like heaven to me.
"You and your Johnson, for over 50 years..." i just turned 50, finally found my song.😂
Damn, that commercial with the dog and gun is frickin' DARK.💀⚰️🪦
It wasn't even the original. It refers to a National Lampoon Magazine cover at the time that had the headline, "Buy this magazine, or we'll shoot this dog". It was one of those memes that launched a thousand variations in the 1970s..

Least violent British PIF
I just wanna point out that there is a business here in town of house cleaners called "You've got maids". Massively inappropriate is not just for the distant past.
Woah! You, your kids and your Johnson! 🤣🤣🤣 that is just not right
Can't wait to get some AYDS!
Not sure if it's worth the side effects.
Johnson...hysterical!
Yeah... Gotta Agree With Ya on These. And Whoa... Don't Remember Winston Sponsorship of The Flintstones... Jezze
The puppy 😢😢😢
I think that The Flintstones wasn't a Saturday morning kid's cartoon. It was prime time, for the whole family.
Yes, the Flintstones was a cartoon for adults.
