Reading Hilarious Vintage Advertisements 

Ok. I'll be ,83 next month so I've seen, read, watched through the 50's and on. A rupture is now referred to as a hernia. Could be in abdomen, or a disc in the back. Enjoy your channel. Keep it going!

When my husband was a young boy, he bought that 10 cent Joe Weider muscle building book. He thinks he still has it! By the way, my husband did indeed become a body builder and in the '70's won Mr. Indiana for his weight class. He is still a body builder although does not compete at the age of 68. He isn't your usual 68 yr old. I remember things being flocked. Eventually, it kind of disintegrated and fell off. I am picturing small piles if disintegrated flocking in parking spots! LOL. Back in the day, my Aunt Wanda had all pink kitchen appliances. I loved it and thought she was the coolest. Just for the record, the measure of a man is not his height or voice- but, his character. ; )

I watched this with my granpa earlier today and he cried at the end because it bought back old memories so thanks for making my granpa happier then he already was

Okay, I'm calling it. We need more of these...like as many as you want. Until you get sick of them. These are GOLDEN.

Oh my gosh that’s priceless. Loved the vintage home ad at the end I’d love a pink kitchen full of antiques. 🥰

Love you & so enjoy your channel. My grandma had those pink washer & dryer. They purchased them in the 50s & they worked excellent until 1989. The washer went first & my grandpa tried to fix it but he just couldn’t find the part he needed. The dryer lasted another 10 years ( no lie). My grandpa fixed the dryer but it didn’t work but for a short time after that. They finally bought another set & they were the same brand, Whirlpool, from Sears, of course. They always bought everything from Sears. I miss them & that washer & dryer. 🙂

"I have worms" possibly be my favorite!! Also fun fact on an Episode of M*A*S*H Season 3 episode 18 called "House Arrest" Radar actually orders the elevator shoes so he could appear taller and I believe it was from Popular Mechanics too! Can't wait to watch more!

Your expressions of disbelief at some of these ads are hilarious... I'm cracking up over here!! 🤣

Fun fact I found you on RU-vid by falling down a rabbit hole looking at old kitchen appliance ads. Those ranges in the 50s with built in slow cookers and refrigerators with a butter conditioner sound wonderful. I don’t need a wifi fridge but I could totally use a butter conditioner keeping my butter at spreadable condition at all times.

I LOVE vintage ads, my Dad was an advertising photographer for nearly 40years so I've always loved them. The chimney breast in our living room is papered with a collage of original adds from 1952-54 issues of 'practical house holder' magazine. Lots of amazing interiors stuff, paint, tools and DIY. I love it ❤️ My favourite vintage magazines are Woman & Home and Good Housekeeping. Such a great video thank you.

Oh my goodness, I was watching this video with headphones while my husband was sleeping and I literally couldn't keep from laughing out loud. Your videos are always so much fun, love you and love your channel.

I can smell those magazines through the monitor

“Wait, you hypnotize other people while you’re asleep?” Literally laughed out loud. Hilarious 😆 great idea for a video.

There was an Andy Griffith episode where Barney was supposed to sing, but couldn't carry a tune, so Andy talked him into singing quiet...so quiet that there was no sound coming out of him. Andy convinced him that the microphone would do all the work. They had another guy singing into a live mic(Barney's was dead), and Barney was very shocked and amazed that he sounded so good...lol!

Vintage magazines are full of dream-filled ads.😍

Hi Laci, I love your videos. Something that really is so important about your videos is the way you end them. I love that you want us to "feel safe and feel loved." What could be more important than that? Thank you so much! I also love all your cool vintage things and lifestyle. I want some swing vases, several in each color so I can set up a rainbow near a window after our house is build and I admire your Pyrex collection. I am a Jadite Junkie and have lots of Jadite. As soon as we move into the house we are now building, I am going to start collecting pink Pyrex and colorful swing vases. I would also love a Kuba Komet TV and high-fi system. (My partner is an electrical engineer, so I think he could set up a new TV in the Kuba Komet face.) I absolutely love your home, your style and everything about your channel. As soon as our house is built we will decorate the first floor in Craftsman and Frank Lloyd Wright type furniture and decorations, the house is based on vintage Craftsman and Prairie Style houses and the Walk-Our Basement will be all Mid-Century- Modern decoration. I'm not buying things for the new house yet, there will be too many things to move the way we already have the house w live in (an old Chicago Style bungalow) but we are really looking forward to taking tips from you and some other vintage divas and doing our thing! I hope you are feeling safe and feeling loved.

A rupture is a hernia. A bulging of an intestine or other organ. Wearing a strong elastic belt helps hold it in.

I see laci fay, i clicc

You cracked me up! What fun! Please do more!! Love vintage magazines. Also cookbooks.

I love this! I adore old magazines and the ad's are just wild and so of their time.

When I was a kid in the 50's-60's the ads in back of comic books were a hoot to read.

I love this vintage ad video. I think you absolutely should do more of them. I have always loved the 50’s. I love the music, fashion and the more , simple way of life, that was yesteryear. I have some furniture from the 50’s, that were my parents, which they were the original owners of. I have a red and white mixer for the kitchen and a few other precious and priceless things, like a vase that you love, in blue. I love all of your videos Laci, and the way you handle yourself with such grace and class. You give such wonderful tribute to that era, and you are so good at doing, what you do!, whether it be hair, makeup, fashion, or cooking.

Yessss more vintage ad videos please!!! I need to do one of these actually, I have a stack of home decor magazines from the early 60’s and they’re so fun to look through!

I remember those ads in comic books when I was a kid during the sixties. By the time the seventies came, a lot of those ads started to phase out. Even then, I didn't believe those ads. Your hair, nails and outfit are stunning! Thanks for the laughs and style tips in your gentle lady manner.

"I've got worms!" Would be a great worm farm name!🤣🤣

that muscle building add was in EVERYTHING, even comic books lol

“Nothing Attracts Attention Like a Neon Green Velvet Car” 😂😂🤣😆💗

I definitely want a pink washer and dryer! And a pink refrigerator and dishwasher! That would be great!

My personal favorite was the vitamin and cereal ads from the 50s. I have a pep vitamin one that has been made larger and put into our kitchen. I love the old ads 😊

I adore the car ads too! They were always so dramatic and beautiful! You were in if you bought these cars, right? Those were the days!

This was SO MUCH FUN!!!! I love vintage ads and would love to see more of these! Plus, I agree that a turquoise dishwasher and a pink washer and dryer would be heaven!

More ads, please. Great idea! By the way, love your glasses - very becoming. Miss that style.

I really enjoyed going through the advertisements with you Laci!! So hilarious!!! You are so upbeat and fun to watch!! Yes please keep it up!! 👍👍😉

This was such a great idea for a video! ☺️

I love all the ads. I wonder how many people sent for things. Reminds me of the Mayberry show when Barney signed up for karate classes from a book. Lol

Love you...I write in exact detail about 50s...every food in Moms cupboards...shopping bags...supermarkets... Memories make us cheerful☺☺☺😄

The worm ranch was familiar to me! The owner was a Ga. State legislature and a cousin to former President Jimmy Carter. The worm farm didn't close until about 1996. They raised fishing worms and crickets. Just a bit of useless information! 🤣 I just discovered your channel a few nights ago and have been bringing on your videos! Very enjoyable, entertaining, and informative! 👍🏻

❤️❤️❤️ *Laci, we need this to be a regular segment, we love seeing you crack up and cracking up with you!*

I bought a bag of 1950's True Story magazines at a yard sale. I love the ads in them, some were hilarious. I enjoyed seeing the ones you have, definitely make another ad video.

This is fabulous! I loved this video. I love old advertising! “He man”, “Elevators”, and the “Flocking” ads were hysterical. Why would you flock a TV?! I love the graphics too.

I looovvee reading vintage magazines on archive.org! I have so much fun with the ads. Please make more videos like this one!

Please make this a series! I was cracking up the Napoleon Dynamite quote flipping hilarious!

Your reactions! I can’t! These are truly hilarious and this was a great idea! (If you see a fully flocked neon car casually driving down the street in the future...you know who it is) ;)

I love old mags. 1940s love love love, especially for the ads

The jiu jitsu ad reminds me of the movie "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken". Don Knott's character learns karate through a mail order program. 🤣😂🤣😂

Like Bobbie Gambarini and Lorinda Liscano, I too am an older woman who knows about these things. I have a good-sized collection of vintage women's magazines from 1930 to 1959. Some of them are from England. I got most of them from eBay. I too love the ads. Some of the car ads and dress ads are really beautiful.

Her husband is a fortunate man to have such a fun, pretty, charming, inventive wife.

Just wanted to tell you that I always look forward to your videos. Your content brightens my days!

That flok thing reminds me of my grandmother back in the day 'Bedazzling' everything with her Bedazzler stapler-like gun. Our clothes weren't safe around her! Turn your back for 5 seconds and there'd be a rhinestone heart or something bedazzled on your clothes! Thanks for this trip back in time. Those elevator shoes were hilarious. Must have been an insert of some kind or all the guys would have had Frankenstein shoes.

I’ve always hear that Michael Landon wore those type shoes on Little House on the Prairie since he was much shorter than the other male cast members.

The jfk part had me bursting into laughter

i truly love your videos Laci! they're always so cheerful, happy & fun, as are you. you seem like such a genuine angel. love you & your videos xx

Is that Gwen Verdon on the cover of Life? I love old Life magazines, the photos and the ads. Your number of subs is really growing-- Congratulations!

Love reading the old magazines. My mom had a subscription to Life. Those ads were so funny! Thanks for sharing!

I LOVE the old magazines and advertisements. More videos like this please 😍🙏

Joseph Weider was a Canadian bodybuilder and entrepreneur who co-founded the International Federation of BodyBuilders alongside his brother Ben Weider. He was also the creator of the Mr. Olympia, the Ms. Olympia and the Masters Olympia bodybuilding contests

My mom loved antique, vintage stuff when I was growing up (graduated HS in 2004). But I would sit around and read those magazines- I found them so interesting. This man’s magazine you started with gives a little insight into the expectations of men during that time too! We often talk about the expectations that were placed on women, but this magazine had men trying to be more manly, virile, muscular, “he -man” 🤣. Although, I do love a manly man! Haha

I wish I could get my hands on some vintage magazines. The oldest ones I come across are usually from the 90s. Anyway great video I can't wait for the next one.☺️

Your whole look today is amazing! 💖 These ads are just horribly hilarious!!

I love your vintage videos because I also like vintage aesthetics from the 10s - 50s ! It reminds me of living on that time even tho I wasn't born in that time XD . It's odd that I am 14 yrs. Old yet I love vintage stuffs like this! How I wish the present days right now is peaceful as the 50s . Thank you ♥️

Haha! I so love your movie quotes! And I would love to see more vintage ads. Great video thanks ✨✨✨

I booght a whole box of vintage magazines ,,Mccalls ,Good Housekeeping etc etc they were $0.10 ,then. $0.15 then went to $0.25 then $0.35 I gave some away wished I would have kept them i still have some ,I love to read them & also like you said the ads.I so love your channel you make my day you take me back to a quieter time . Have a lovely day Laci ( Judy )

For some reason I hadn't seen this particular video. As I was watching I noticed above the "He-Man" ad (in Popular Mechanics) an advert for Tri-State college in Angola Indiana. My family is from that area. The college is now called Trine.

The sad part is that some of these ads sound exactly like the ads we still have today.

Hi Laci! This was fun! I shared a Better Homes and Gardens magazine from 1934 on my channel and the ads were amazing! I love vintage magazines! I’d so be up for more videos like these! 👏🏻

I love all of your videos so much!! I really look forward to seeing all of them😀❤️

Just shows how GULLIBLE people were BACK IN THE DAY!!!! Kindof SAD how "JADED" we've become!!!! Thanks Laci. Oh, and LOVE YOUR HAIR AND NAILS!!!!

Gosh all these ads are hilarious!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing!🤩

Yes, definitely do more ads, they are crazy!

I used to have that round vacuum. It "hovered" by pushing the exhaust out from underneath so it was easier to pull around as you went (in theory.) I think we got rid of it during a move many many years ago, but I wish we still had it.

Loving vintage ads I prefer the clothing Home decor Makeup Lifestyle Great idea

Laci, thank-you! This made my day ❤

Enjoyed, thank you! Would love to see more of the Life magazine!

This is amazing! My cousins used to read (and laugh at) advertisements in old magazines that our grandparents had saved. Sadly we lost most of them when there was a fire in the storage barn, but this was a fun trip down memory lane!

These are a riot! I’m going to start looking for vintage rags now when I’m thrifting!

I found a vintage magazine called MADAMOISELLE three days ago dated 1951!!! I haven’t put it down! I can’t get enough of the ads and their clothing! Full circle Dresses for $49.95 and amazing wiggle dresses for $14.95! YES PLEASE! 😂

Cool video definitely enjoyed it. My favorite was the appliance add, ill take 1 of each lol Also the vacuum was the Hoover Constellation, which rode on a cushion of air instead of wheels. (Pretty neat I think) There are usually some on ebay if you're looking for one

Very entertaining. Really enjoyed these ads a lot!!

Aww I love laughing Laci 😻 this was sooo fun to hear and see!

Love your hair today! It's extra cute, just like you! I'm a good bit older than you so I actually remember growing up and seeing so many of these crazy adds! LOL! Some are really fun and silly. Some are weird and some are really considered sexist now days. But I remember actually seeing many of these, brings back great memories too!! Thank you for all the fun things you find and show us! I'm a 1962 model myself! Love ya dear!

Hey my friend! What a hoot🤣’Elevators!’ I could spend hours listening to these 😂 More please! 🙌🥰X

This is fabulous! It reminds me of looking in vintage phone books( at the public library) to see how many vintage phone numbers are still in use as well as vintage bell system. I love phones. My friends at automaticwasher.org know all about everything with vintage washers and dryers ( my other passion) even a market place to guide you to your dream set. My friend at Lorans appliance in Lorraine Ohio rebuilds vintage washers and dryers. Call him, he is the best. Thank you for being so fabulous! Ritchie Cooper Zand 😀

I remember Charles Atlas & Jack LaLanne ads when I was a kid!

This was great! Love vintage ads.

I love old ads. I got a 1940 an 1938 The American Home. I love them. Thought about sending them to Scott but I just can't let them go.

Enjoyed the ads - "Story Time with Laci". Elevator shoes for men had the height built into the shoe - The heel may have been a bit higher but most of the height was inside the shoe.

I swear,I love her channel and her interest in the 50s. I find it super wholesome and I am so grateful for this but dang whenever she read HE-MAN my mind would think of hymen and I could not pinpoint why would any man want the voice of a hymen 😂😂😂

That was fun....love the summer updo! 🌻

I love vintage women's magazines.

Hilarious! You got to love these ads! Love the video idea! ❤️

You would probably enjoy the show Mad Men on Netflix. It takes place in the 50s and 60s. It is about people who work in advertising and it’s so funny how some of the products they feature are still around today

Omg this was so cool! We love you laci and we’re always here for you! ❤️

I loved this vlog! I once found an Ebony magazine from the 1950s in the dresser of a late aunt - it featured Dorothy Dandridge. And, I remember those ventriloquist dummies were in Sears Christmas catalogs when I was a little girl in the 80s. I was terrified of those things .

Would love to see more of these videos!

I love this video, tried not to laugh at the elevators shoe ad. Boy was that fun

More please! This was great!

Oh my such a beautiful flower in ur hair!!! 😍😍

the flocking ad became that hair 'replacer' spray for bald women .. LOL

Laughed out loud. Too much fun!

I love the "pretty ads", so fun! Thanks for the upload!! 🤗
