Somewhere in the deepest recesses of my 72 year old brain are stored the words and tunes of every single commercial here. That’s scary as hell, isn’t it?
Not scary at all! 😂 I'm 53 years old and was born too damn late as I'm an old soul when it comes to 60s and 70s nostalgia 😃 I'm just glad we have an outlet to appreciate the good old days and to relive them.
What I like about this is that, whenever they're demonstrating how effective a product is, they show a live demonstration. Nowadays, with how advanced the technology is, demonstration is pretty much computer generated. Back then, it's all authentic so I feel like if I were to live in this era, I'd be easily convinced to buy the products I see on TV
Actually, there were some scandals, due to misleading visuals, that occurred at that time. One beer company was called out for using a light grade motor oil that was poured into a glass. They said that it photographed better under the lights.
@@galesayers The most famous was the shaving cream that could shave sandpaper, according to the commercial, but the sandpaper was faked with sand on a pane of glass.
@@galesayersWhen your dealing with advertising, of ANY generation or era, you'll always be able to find some sketchy or misleading information, images, photos, or ????? Companies from all eras have always tried to one up the competition. And yes not all of their attempts were exactly honorable. One thing however is for certain, if there was anyway that a person could either go back in time, return to say their childhood years, or stay here? What would they/you do? I'd go back, without even a question. It just seems that everything was better. Television shows, Movies, Food, even commercials, life in general, and people. We didn't need smartphones, Farcebook, Twitts or "X" as it's now called? Again food tasted better back then. Movies were made to actually ENTERTAIN YOU! Not shove agendas in your face. Everything seemed better,
This was epic. I wasn't born until 1967 but I love the classic retro looks and sounds of these beautiful commercials. Everyone of them had heart and soul. They cared about their products and their commercials were sometimes mini movies about them. I miss the way Television shows and commercials were made, movies too. Everything now has some agenda or political garbage attached to it. Plus back then a joke was a joke. Not some offensive attack on someone's life or personality. Life was so much better then.
@@smc130Funny isn't it? I can remember my Mom telling me that I shouldn't wish for time to speed up. To enjoy what you have then and now. In the 70's I wanted to be a teenager, then as a teen I wanted to be 18, then 21. How I'd miss school she said. I thought she was "nuts". NO WAY would I want that again. Now in my 50's I look back and I realized, she was right......AGAIN!! LOL. She had an uncanny knack for that. I remember how everything was better back then. Even the commercials were better. Odd but true. Television shows, movies, even the food was much better. Shopping malls especially during Christmas time would be so much better than nowadays. People weren't as cynical. As I said before, back then a joke was a joke and not an attack on someone. Respect was expected from younger kids towards older adults. Maybe the last decade has made me cynical? But it seems that the past had more heart and soul in everything they did. I really miss those days too.
For a long time, I've been looking for an Orange Crush commercial. It was psychedelically colourful, and the jingle was "Break away, discover life today, discover lively taste, discover Orange Crush. It's got the lively taste of today." It played (I believe) in 1970. It doesn't seem to be anywhere on the internet.
A lot of videos have disappeared from RU-vid and the internet. I name a dozen videos that suddenly disappeared and none of them were controversial or anything.
I love seeing familiar faces on these just like the tv shows if you were working on tv you did everything. i really wonder about the ones i dont know and where their career went on too great stuff anyway..
Commercials were so much better back in the 1960s. You don't hear jingles anymore, must be too expensive to make them. Commericals just lack creativity anymore. It just seems like so many things just got worse. Now commercials are just to see how irritating they can be, like all those insurance commercials.
Guess the Jurassic park theme wasn’t as original as most believe. My guess it was on public domain by the time Jurassic park came out and they might of changed it just enough and copyrighted it. Plus it may have been obscure enough that there was no one to sue over it.
I’m not sure if you can help me but, my father was an Ad Exec from the late 50’s into the early 2000’s. I have all of his commercials on a few different types of tape. His big campaigns were Maxwell House coffee, Yellow Pages, Juffy Pop popcorn, Minute Maid orange juice, and many others. I’d like to donate them to someone that will preserve them. Would you be interested? Nancy Ioele-Santos
I am looking for an old carpet commercial. Where they get an little old lady to step on the small square sample. “Let the little lady stand on it” is the tag line. Where could I find this???!
I found a commercial for Armstrong flooring in which they tell you that their floor tiles are made of vinyl asbestos, and people are dancing on it. Doesn't that release the asbestos fibers? Maybe not if the floor has a layer of floor wax on it.
How I miss 20th Century commercials. Beans, cars, toffee, shake & vac.. now it's only gambling advertising, charity adverts & very little else, oh lots of black people like we're living in Africa now. They are about 5% of the population but the adverts & programming seem to be about 75% of the population. It's white racism by the far left.
