Impressive . One nameplate division . It shows what a goliath GM was . Not to mention there other nameplates i.e. Pontiac , Buick , etc. with their own shows .
This commercial in particular is bizarre, a commercial riffing on subliminal advertisement. I wonder if it common knowledge that subliminal advertising was being developed around that time. I feel like this would be good for an essay on psych history
I enjoyed this so much! I was born in 1959 so these were all older than me, however I do remember the Cracker Jack commercial! It must have run for years lol. I look forward to watching everything you have!!
These are so FUN to watch😊! It's crazy how some of the commercials were a bit longer than what we are used to today 😄. But for how entertaining they are, I wouldn't mind😎👍! I also find it funny that with the cigarette commercials that they can smoke it, but with the beer commercials they can't drink it😄😄
kkm35 kkm35 - I never understood that as a small child, why the TV commercial would show this cartoon Hamms bear and talking about Hamms beer that's really meant for adults? Does the cartoon mean kids can have it too? I don't think so.
@@markkracht9413 trans people existed back then, you just didnt have the access to know about them then as much as information was much more insular! your lack of understanding/ability to empathize doesn't mean anything.
They don’t make wind up watches or alarm clocks anymore. They all run on batteries I had a portable wind up Victrola when I was a kid. I got laughed off the beach when I played a Guy Lombardo version of Boo Hoo record on the Victrola
It's interesting to see a Keds ad aimed at boys, it's generally thought of more as a women's brand these days. I don't think they even make men's Keds anymore.
Well... television as we know it really didn't start to blossom until the late 1940s/1950s. So while there commercials in the 40s, the memorable ad campaigns really didn't emerge until the 50s. Although none of that explains the title of this video - for that, I got nothin'... 🤔🙄
@@ev4898 In the 1960s, it was an aluminum pan with its own popcorn kernels and handle, and you cooked it on the stove after taking the cardboard top off, and the aluminum on it got bigger and bigger as it popped; a commercial in the 1960s used to show that.
It was fun to make as kids. You had to constantly shake it back and forth across the stove burner so it wouldn't burn. Yes, the commercial would show the aluminum on top blowing up like a balloon
I remember the Hertz commercials with the flying OJ Simpson. Hertz pulled that commercial when OJ was arrested for murder His movies were also pulled from broadcast
All these commercials are available on various DVD collections of old TV commercials. They're on Mill Creek Entertainment's 1001 Classic Commercials set, and also on Madacy's Classic TV Commercials set. Probably on many others as well.
My father almost bought a Renault but got a better deal on a Simca back in 1963. Both were made in France and had 4 cylinder engines He traded in a 1952 Ford Fairlane for the Simca
That dad in the second 1959 Chevrolet ad (the one after Pat Boone and Dinah Shore, at 15:36) is kinda dumb...buys a new car rather than just paying someone to fix the door latches...like getting a shotgun to kill gnats. He's a car salesman's wet dream.
I remember Jiffy Pop in the 60's too and the 70's. It came after InstaPop. Jiffy is still around - I bought it at a Dollar General store and was so excited to show it to my granddaughters lol.
I'm guessing that clowns were shown alot in the 1950s, but I remember in the first half of the 1960s they were showing Brand X , comparing that to the product quite often.
I remember a Black friend musing that when they were kids they thought only White people had body odor, yellow teeth, etc. Because Black folks weren't in these commercials.
