I remember it, but I sure don't miss it... I mean, it's Labor Day weekend, you should be outside having fun (in some way or another), not stuck indoors watching the tube!
@@not-so-smartaleck8987 Yeah, well...you just don't get it, 'cause you're "not so smart". Most of those viewers tuned in specifically to help and be entertained (like me), and a lot of those viewers were old and inferm with lots of money to donate! So...STFU!
I'm not sure what Sally meant by "seasoning", though...some kind of hallucinogen, I assume. Also, I didn't know Charlie Brown (& family) had a microwave!
All 3 are old and worn-out today. Susan is the youngest at "only" 69 (b. Dec. 10, 1952), if you can believe that age for "Laurie Partridge'. Ali [b. Elizabeth Alice McGraw] just celebrated her 83rd (!!!), and Cybill is 72.
More like a few decades, and even then a lot of these aren't THAT fascinating--the cartoons (meh), and the celebrities you've barely heard of or don't remember from anything OTHER than their commercials (which in my case is a lot of them--Anita Bryant, Danny Thomas, Jerry Lewis, etc.), the "cast" commercials from TV shows you didn't watch (in my case, Make Room for Daddy and Dennis the Menace), and so on.
In the 80s William Shatner did commercials for relatively primitive computers/video games (gotta love those graphics at 0:14-0:18 & 0:23-0:28)...nowadays, he does commercials for personal injury lawyers, at least in the Wash. DC area. I think I've seen enough of his face in TV commercials, thank you!
Background...Shatner never got all that much beyond the weekly salary from STAR TREK originally, then got taken to the cleaners when he divorced his first wife (for a time he was actually living in a camper truck). I don't know if he is still with the woman he subsequently married, Marcie (I remember the commercials they did together for Promise margarine) Now, thanks to taking his Priceline pay in stock options, he is now one of the wealthiest people in Hollywood. (P.S.--his daughter from his first marriage did some acting...you can see her alongside Huey Lewis and the News in the video for their first big hit "Do You Believe In Love")
8:19 Ha! Clever idea to have the viewer 'interact' with Boris Karloff in the commercial. 12:44 It's *scary* seeing Jack Webb smile! ;-) And why does a young Cybil Shepherd remind me of Alicia Silverstone?
@@allisoncorona8162 actually a company called Lomography has started making the 110 film for these cameras again. The large film cameras you are referring to is 126, No one is currently making that film. 120 is a roll type medium format film which is still around. The developing lab I use is thedarkroom.com shop.lomography.com/en/lomography-color-tiger-110-3-pack?country=us&gclid=CjwKCAiA-P7xBRAvEiwAow-Vaf30wnBF_h1bpMIDdVAccSBtevHR1FH9ull1OtveKmDui_ldtgDYQBoCC5EQAvD_BwE
The voice over artist heard at 7:30 is Canadian. And when Ontario had a beer strike in 85, the LCBO brought in lots of Genesee beer to replace the domestic stuff.
Allison Corona - I remember that. She was a big supporter of Pray the Gay away. I remember my Mom saying she had no right to tell anyone about what happens in the bedroom, behind close doors. She never bought any orange juice after that first interview. Even when they replaced her with Bing and family.
8:44 His real name, was BILL PRATT He did a play with the role of Boris Karlov ...a russian character And LATER decided to use the name with anglicized spelling Vincent Price was born in ST LOUIS MO I think, he later developed a british accent
I knew Boris Karloff narrated How The Grinch Stole Christmas, but I didn’t know that they modeled the character on him. That first add he makes a look that’s 100% Grinch...it was awesome!
It's very interesting to hear Hal Smith (Otis on the Andy Griffith show) doing the voice of Elmer Fudd after Arthur Q Bryan passed, and before Mel took over the voice himself.
A classmate saw the Chipmunks doing a recording during Christmas vacation. He said it was old guys, "singing real slow." Gainsburgers are still popular, but now we don't waste them on the dog. Times are a lot tougher now....
I was thinking exactly that, they must have recorded everything they sang in super slow time to speed it up to a normal cadence of singing and speaking.
@@MJAP123 No, it has always been one guy, Ross Bagdasarian (who went by the stage name "David Seville"), the adult who is trying to get them organized. He did all of the chipmunks' voices. It was done on an open reel tape recorder at a slow speed, then played back at double speed. If you ever listen to any of the Chipmunk recordings on an old tape deck, step down one speed, and you'll hear his voice speaking slowly. When they're singing together, it was simply a multitrack recording of him doing each voice separately.
@@jamesw1659 As kids my friends and I accomplished the same thing by playing a Chipmunks album at 16 RPM, back when most turntables had more than two speeds.
Some of the history you missed...the Lux ad aired in Canada. Tammy Grimes does the voice over for the Elizabeth Arden spot. And of course, Mickey Mantle had bigger problems to deal with than athlete's foot.
At 3:O2, check the black and white photo in the background. It's Danny Thomas, then, a highly placed executive within the company who produced this advertisement. A very common practise!.
You mean owner of the production companies (Danny Thomas Productions and Martero Productions) doing one heck of a lot of TV business then! Thomas had four shows in production on the Desilu lot at one time.
These children are the characters from "Make Room for Daddy". Danny Thomas, in the picture, was their father, Danny Williams in the show. Don't you have a picture of your dad around the house someplace?
It just blows my mind how many cigarette ads there were back then, and the ads all claim smoking was safe, using words like 'cool', refreshing' trying to imply it was perfectly natural to inhale toxic chemicals every day for 20 or so years.
Jack Webb hoarking two different brands - died of lung cancer. You morons saying "just enjoy the comercials" can GFYS. Every smoker relative I had died of lung cancer. I quit after 20 years just hoping it was in time. Idiots.
brings back so many memories of my childhood. it is sad some of those commercials, like the cigarette ads glorified smoking and made it seem harmless and fun to smoke. like it was the in thing to do. but in reality made so many sick and died from it. Today, tobacco companies have to place an ad to actutally tell the sickness and death can occur if you smoke! how different it is now. back then, if they ever said that, they would lose billions of dollars. in reality they promoted a product that will kill you!!
Now there are PSA's about the hazards for smoking e-Cigarettes and they're fruit flavored candy flavored tobacco, They are saying they are just as lethal as the real ones.
Yes, they're old, and, sadly, if you're old enough to remember almost all of these ads, so are you...makes us "boomers" more acutely aware of our OWN mortality...
I still have my TI-99 and Atari 400. Grape Nuts was like chewing gravel, Frosted Flakes and Sugar Pops for me. I had a crush on both Babarara Eden and Elizabeth Montgomery, they were two kf the most beautiful women in all of hollywood.
I can remember those orange juice commercials with Anita Bryant. When I was about thirteen she was the butt of jokes for some reason that I had no idea at the time were her views on gays. I didn't even know what the word even meant. A girl in my class tried to make me say something dirty the joke was, If Anita Bryant married Moby Dick what would her name be?" I wasn't about to say what she was wanting me to so I said nothing at all. I should have said "Mrs. Moby Dick."
In addition to identifying the celebrities in the commercials, it would have been nice if the year each commercial first aired was included. Some of these seem a lot more "vintage" than the others.
12:15 the voice of the great Peter Thomas. From the 60s through the 80s, it's likely that no one voiced more national television commercials than Peter Thomas.
@@lettyguerra371 Don't talk about free speech, you piece of shit. The only reason you bring up free speech is to distract people from the vile stuff you say. You're a bigot, as was Anita Bryant. You're not a victim, dumb ass, and neither was she.
We didn't think of it becoming an environmental problem back then, but the millions of plastic Leggs eggs we tossed are still sitting landfills to this day.
Back then Joe Namath did commercials for Brut and panty hose...now today he's a pitchman for supplemental coverage plans for seniors...so not all things change for the better...
Former Ms. America who parlayed her start into a singing career. She had songs on the easy-listening channels that were more prevalent in that time, late 50's/early 60's. Her clean image got her the orange-growers gig, where she was on commercials for years. Guess she thought she was bullet-proof in endorsing policies that persecuted gay folks. Surprise!
"GRAPE NUTS" ? . . 🫒 . . EVER TRY THEM ? . . 🤷 . . They'd crack a tooth ! . . 😱 .. Ahh Yes , back in the day when cereal could be "Covered" with sugar and nobody cared ! . . 🥣 . . 🤸
Still shocks me how many actors were trying to give viewers lung cancer. And how they tried to make smoking seem safe, even HEALTHY, showing "studies" thar "proved" it. (Studies that were bought and paid for by the cigarette companies)
Many also died of lung cancer Like jack WEBB at 62 Cigarettes also cause pancreatic cancer. I know a lady, whose half irish and half Cherokee like WEBB Shes fighting it now
