These old commercial compilation videos are just what I need to temporarily escape this treacherous society we currently live in, and mentally go back to a much simpler and more serene time of my life. Literally brings tears to my eyes.
Yes ! And exactly well said ! When I’m going through tough times I always come here, it’s therapeutic and it deforest helps so much !! I thought I was weird for a moment there ,but as humans many of us feel the same! Thanks for sharing your thoughts !❤️❤️❤️
Thanks much to the uploader! I graduated 1979, and fondly recall all these TV ads. They are like looking at old family photo albums...such profound nostalgia!!
Yep, when news was not about manipulation by the 1% (or 0.01% like Soros, Bezos, and Zuckerburg). No wonder the ex-pats from the old iron curtain are shaking in their shoes.
Thesr commercials give us real insight into the cultutal history of the UDSA at that time. I was 15 that year and am so grateful to have experienced it.
This is just plain scary. I'm 62 and remember these ads, events, news clips and the voices like they were all yesterday. Then, I thought 30 was old! I recently saw an old friend from that time and he reminded me of an older version of his father!!!
I remember back when the whole family gathered round the one television to watch a show…and we watched the commercials. Today we pvr and skip the commercials. Or fighting with siblings to watch our show instead of theirs. No pause button to get a snack or a potty break.
These commercials comfort us because they show human relationships and domesticity . Human interaction over technical imagery. Real people, real environments, voice overs of real people. Simple music. I can still remember jingles from 45 years ago.
Looking at these vintage TV ads makes you think of the products that used to be-Body On Tap, Glory Rug Cleaner, and Favor wax, just to name a few. Some of the products advertised are not around any more.
The matrix did not fully absorb us in 1980, and the entertainment was top notch, propaganda or not. Some of it ages well or acceptable. Advertising was not such garbage in 1980. You still knew they were full of shit, but it was sexy.
Back then, you could just disappear. If you weren't home, no one could call you. People actually had conversations in public. Weren't staring at their cell phone all damn day. Because of it, society has become a race if introverted, narcissistic zombies. Saying things they'd never say to your face. Void of compassion, fairness and integrity. Because, technology has made it possible to be cold, un-caring and anonymous, with no consequences.
@@staciicats7330 That sounds like a fair stance. Trying to filter all the negativity takes too much energy. Too many folks are too vulnerable to bull crap, conspiracy. Then let this technology do their thinking for them. Keep it real people. Do you're own thinking. Question even what you see. "There is a sucker born every minute." Don't be one. Social media is threatening democracy. You don't wanna live under an authoritarian government, you just don't. In other words, don't be a sheep. Be an individual, with your thoughts and determinations, independent. Otherwise, avoid pizza. It's made by Satan Worshiping pedophiles.
Same! I went with my older brother and his friend. At the time, a few kids had gotten hurt jumping down stairs acting like superman. When my friends' dad dropped up off he looked at me and yelled "Remember! You can't fly!" I was caught off guard by his intensity, lol! Damn, that's a long time ago.
I must not be normal. I still have never had a bowl of cereal first thing in the morning in front of my house outside with my whole family fully dressed and smiling.
My mom was pregnant with me in Rochester 1979. It’s quite possible that she saw these exact commercials. Dunkin Donuts commercial sounds like Sesame Street song writer Joe Raposo.
Keep up the good work! I hope you have, or at least find, the ad to pianist Irving Fields’ 50 Songs You’ll Always Love album...it was released in 1978, by the way.
Those were the days weren't they when you could turn on television and watch a good movie. Unlike today where there is really no entertainment to speak of nothing but reality shows.
13:26- "CLIFFHANGERS" was literally thrown together at virtually the last minute. The first edited and completed episode was delivered to NBC about 20 minutes before it was telecast on February 27, 1979. And so was this promo [Don Pardo announced it from New York]. In the end, only 11 episodes were produced [the final one was never telecast]. Fred Silverman, who threw dozens of new shows on NBC's schedule in early 1979, thought "DRACULA '79" had potential, and wanted to schedule it as a weekly series. Of course, that never happened.
1978-79 my 3rd 4th grade chorus at Florence brasser were the background music for lincoln first number one bank.all I have is a newspaper clipping.ive emailed Don alhart because he was the one initiating the commercial but neither he or anyone else remembers the commercial.he said its too far back to find any info.he was the newscast voice behind bowling Saturday or Sunday and the commercial came on at the end of an episode.i joked saying did he have commercials made at Florence brasser every year for lincoln first? Haha anyone here know what I'm talking about? Any recording of it? We didn't have a vcr at that time.my mom worked there with her British? Boss dana.i think my whole family was on tv at different years and places.my dad Sgt rpd,my mom wWegmans, brothers I think at an air show,another was in the navy and Kris krisoffertan went aboard his ship constellation.my daughter and niece dancing at the cornhill festival and me the lincoln first commercial and interviewing me for the big billboards up with criminals to look out for.yeah I know real memorable haha
Man, my friends and I loved watching The Dukes of Hazzard as a kid. The car chases, Boss Hog and his lousy cops, and Daisy Duke was such a babe. Good times.
On of my good friends moved to LA after we graduated high school ( 1982) and dated one of the stunt men who worked on the Dukes of Hazzard...he bought one of the many "General Lee's" which had the doors welded shut...my friend finally broke up with him because she got tired of crawling in through the window in her skirts. Although, I daresay that was a plus to the guy :)
Cliffhangers was finally the show that got me to stop watching Happy Days, at the time a ratings juggernaut. But I was a little tired of it after four and a half years. Guess that explains why I never saw the "jumping the shark" episode back in '79.
I was at the world of wheels at the Hynes Auditorium in Boston. Scott Baio was 16 and had a kissing booth. Many teenage girls were in line that day. It was February of 1978.
The American Airlines commercial is haunting. The copyright is 1979, and he’s talking about March and April. Then it shows a DC-10 taking off. Well, history tells you what happened at the end of May, 1979, with an American Airlines DC-10. To this day still the worst in U.S. History.
That Police Woman episode features that photographer with Angie Dickinson showing her legs with the windy dress going. It is Murder With Pretty People. It is at 1:19:35
35:22 - did people really drive a lot less in the late 70’s than today? This couple drove just over 100k miles in 10 years, including a lot of car vacations? 10 k miles in a year is NOTHING for a car today.

One of my most favorite TV commercials, ever! when I was only 12 yrs old ... along with the Coca Cola theme, sung on a hill, with a bunch of college students singing it, while all & each of them held a single lit candle, around the holidays. Very special and meaningful to me, to this day.
Do you have any commercials with the classic "Am PM Mini Market" that went "One two three o'clock four o'clock shop...With your AM PM Mini Market, drive right up in your car and park it and SHOP around the clock tonight..." MANY thanks! (Also, do you have any episodes of the 1974 TV series "Sierra," the show about the park rangers?)
The best part of all these commercials are you don't hear the phrase DOT COM every few seconds or some bozo holding up their phone to their face and smiling like a idiot and expecting you to read what's on it in 1 second like on all the crap that's on the air today, and also the actors who are in the commercials don't act or talk like idiots.
What a pity Milk Mate & Cycle dog food aren't around anymore. Also, why hasn't anyone remade that goofy movie The North Avenue Irregulars? May I also thank you for the cardiac arrest at 28:01? ☠️
These old commercial compilation videos are just what I need to temporarily escape this treacherous society we currently live in, and mentally go back to a much simpler and more serene time of my life. Literally brings tears to my eyes.
It’s so comforting to see these ads from my childhood
Yep treacherous and now we even long for the society we had just a year ago!
I was born in the 80s but I'm enjoying this era. It has a certain fondness to it.
Yes ! And exactly well said ! When I’m going through tough times I always come here, it’s therapeutic and it deforest helps so much !! I thought I was weird for a moment there ,but as humans many of us feel the same! Thanks for sharing your thoughts !❤️❤️❤️
I thought it was just me.
I was 13 in 78, I remember a lot of ads. Brings me to tears
me too😢
Thanks much to the uploader! I graduated 1979, and fondly recall all these TV ads. They are like looking at old family photo albums...such profound nostalgia!!
I second that emotion!
I was born in 79, but this stuff gives me a nostalgic insight into my parents when they were still teens❤️
It is fascinating to look at these old spots and see what products are still around and which ones fell into the pits of obscurity.
Yea, I’m still shocked that Ford Fairmont isn’t Americas best selling car today🤣
Love ❤️ these old shows. I was in highschool in the 1970's and I remember them well.
Thanks for posting - I'm a big fan of nostalgia evoking items ;)
LOL! The news reporter, reporting the news. That was refreshing.
Yep, when news was not about manipulation by the 1% (or 0.01% like Soros, Bezos, and Zuckerburg). No wonder the ex-pats from the old iron curtain are shaking in their shoes.
BJ and the bear. Rockford files. Dukes of Hazzard. Good tv. I was 6 at the time. Strong memories
Like looking back at our family picture album and remembering the good Ol’ days.
Oh, that white convertible VW Bug in the 7-11 advert! 💕😘
I wish that there was more of this kind of ads. I miss them.
Ahhhhhh, my childhood, just everything I've seen, my childhood.... Thank you for posting this...😉
These commercials keep me from going insane
Thesr commercials give us real insight into the cultutal history of the UDSA at that time.
I was 15 that year and am so grateful to have experienced it.
I was 12 going on 13. The 70s were awesome. I loved them.
you and me both.. I became a teenager three days before the 70s ended..
This is just plain scary. I'm 62 and remember these ads, events, news clips and the voices like they were all yesterday. Then, I thought 30 was old! I recently saw an old friend from that time and he reminded me of an older version of his father!!!

Glad to skip commercials today
Kim Basinger in the beer shampoo commercial!! Wow, she was so young & gorgeous.

So cute. I remember my mom taking my brother and I to see E.T. it's a wonderful memory.
I enjoyed it , too ....I was 9 or 10 years old and I still remember how excited I was
When you had to get up and cross the room to change the channel.
That’s how we got our steps in. 😂
The commercial bumpers and end credits are BONUS!
Indeed!
I love these old commercials. Today's commercials have Nothing on YESTERDAY'S COMMERCIALS!!!
Anybody have a time machine?
Wow, and for most of us, all from a little mono speaker and maybe in portable black-and-white.
how aboutTed Danson in the Head and Shoulders commercial
I must not be normal. I still have never had a bowl of cereal first thing in the morning in front of my house outside with my whole family fully dressed and smiling.
I never had a 'complete balanced breakfast' . No toast, just a friggin bowl of cereal.
How many of you sing along with these like I do? lol
I sure do.
My mom was pregnant with me in Rochester 1979. It’s quite possible that she saw these exact commercials.
Dunkin Donuts commercial sounds like Sesame Street song writer Joe Raposo.
HAHAH 5:33 That guy in the Jeep just came up and stole their girl. He's like "SEE YA!" LOL Harsh.
To be a 5yr old piled up in front of the floor model t.v. again..😉
6:01 such a weird yet catchy commercial jingle lol

I noticed there were alot of commercials with horses back in the 70’s
Come to think of it, yes! 🏇🏻
I didn't wait around to see the commercial for the guy in the thumbnail. Hopefully that commercial was for an orthodontist.
Nah; it was for Kodak... about a young man training to get his driving license.
Water bed works. Now that’s what I call a 70s ad. Great time to be alive and consuming 😜

Since moving to the south I have to watch this stuff to keep me happy and nostalgia.

Christopher Reeves before he was a quadriplegic.
CBS top of the hour tone at 1:04:25. Surprised they were still using that on TV that late (although they might still use it on radio).
12:58 lmfao. Sweet Jesus! Last thing I’d want to visit me! Tripping out on pain meds and that thing walks in. How did he breach security?

Everyone over the age of 12 in these commercials has a smoker's voice lol
CBS promo for Natalie Wood in "The Memory of Eva Ryker" at 1:06:48 is pretty eerie considering how she died shortly after that.
