I love having this in the background on my tv and pretending I’m in the 70s. It’s so cozy and comforting especially with how muffled and hushed the audio sounds back then.
Me too. Lol it's so comforting.never thought I'd say that about commercials lol
I do too! And i watch johnny carson weeknites on antenna tv.
@@GROOVYJOJO me too. It's all way better than garbage on TV nowadays.
SAME ! LOL
Me to you are so correct
I like these 70s commercials I,m an 80s baby
I’m 62 years old and I remember all of those commercials thanks for the memories!!!
Ditto
Yea, and they weren’t in 10 minute duration, 20 commercials long either.
If I could relive one decade in my life, it would be the 70s.
Groovy 🕺
Me too! That was the best time of my life❤
Several decades: 60s-80s
I’m jealous you even got to live in that decade. My parents were in their twenties and when they talk about the disco days I just get so jealous lolll
@@buttercup141312 Disco aside, things were pretty stable back then. You could by a house with relative ease. Your outlook on the future was better. Things were more affordable, and jobs were more stable. It was a comfortable time.
It's nice to listen to commercials again that don't blast your ears off your head. The decibal level of many of today's commercials sounds like a heavy metal concert.
Coincidentally, while I was reading this comment the Honda commercial with the marching band came on. Haha. Trying to make a liar of you. But I agree. Today I usually mute the commercials the few times I actually watch modern TV.
boy you just don't know how much this brings back memories of the seventies when I was a kid
When you’re stoned out of your mind and you’re done swimming, lay on a rock with your purse and don’t forget to put a tiny Coke in your purse before laying on the rock after swimming while stoned.
Thank you so much for posting these great commercials. That had to have been a serious effort to seamlessly present them in such excellent video and audio quality.
I'm 59 and I remember all of these commercials especially the food and beverage
commercials down here in Oklahoma during the 70's and they really bring back
memories of the 70's today especially the food and beverage ones thanks.🇺🇲📺📺🇺🇲
I never thought I'd be sitting here watching adds for over an hour😅
you should examine that.

Critical thinking is essential in various aspects of life, including education, work, and personal decision-making, as it helps individuals make better, more reasoned choices.
It is 2023, and it’s so crazy to see old commercials of companies and restaurants still running to this day, or those that ran it’s course however peaking during this era. It’s fascinating, really!
👍
For sure
Facts
This was my entire childhood. The Ultimate Bubble, Bubblishous!! OMG.
I remember drinking Kool-Aid and staying out late with my friends when I was a kid in the 70's.
I miss the good old days . These are awesome thank you for the memories!!!!
Fact that the early 1970s was 50 years ago legitimately terrifies me...
That nbc Saturday night at the movies theme song has stuck in my head since childhood. I just didn't know what it was!
Reunite on ice! Love it! These commercials are making me miss my parents so much.

Finally a presentation about the 70's that's not a put down to the decade. I get so sick of the 70's bashing!
Us Gen Xers are happily reminiscing about these times just like our grandparents did when we were kids. Getting old SUCKS 😊
Amen to that! 🎯👍
I find this comforting. Born in '69.
It's better than the alternative !
We're not old Yet!!!😂
@@louniece1650 Ya got that right sister ! Rock On ✌️
I love going to sleep to this, I fell asleep by the tv a lot in the 70's!!
Why do i feel so nostalgic for a time I wasn't even alive for?
Probably because you're seeing kind of 'real commercials' for normal products. Modern TV ads are just shovelled full of drug ads, insurance ads and car commercials with your healthy dose of of a discount cell service and a reverse mortgage probably being hawked to you by Magnum PI.
And there you have it: The entirety of commercials of today (discounting local commercials on local television). Compare this with the absolutely wild assortment of products and you'd see that variety at any given time, though like now, you wouldn't see ads targeting a show who's audience wouldn't be interested in that product (i.e. most of your feminine hygiene products would run on soaps during the day and stuff like period dramas while your electric razors would advertise on action oriented cop shows, etc.)
Also if you noticed, the political ads were much more restricted to be factual, time limited, etc. and none of them could be paid for by any organization not directly tied to any specific campaign...in other words, the entire Citizen's United ruling allows anyone to spend any amount of money and say anything for political 'speech', even when it includes influencing elections directly. Contrast that with the Gerald Ford ad (where he's literally still talking about issues neither part has bothered to solve 50 years later, mind you) where it's just a clip of him in a town hall with a little bit at the bottom that says it's a political ad.
I'm sure you've no doubt seen ads these days that go something like, "Candidate X wants your kids to get attacked in school by rabid racoons! BAD FOR CITY!" which is like...not an ad, but just stupid.
So many famous people of that decade. The food commercials brought back memories. I remember drinking Labrusco. The chocolate cow cereal.
But the ring around the collar and high karati commercials, I remember were very popular! This was awesome!
CRAZY COW cereal!
Btw, who is this guy in this bic commercial 49:56 the wife says it's Brandon Frasier, haha. Thanks!
Talking cereal, remember KABOOM and FREAKIES cereal?? I wish I was 10 again 😭
Love these commercials! The 70s were the best times... if only i could go back and stay in that era but it goes against the universe 😢
Worrrd!
Notice that there aren’t constant prescription drug ads. I know a Swede who came here for the first time and he found it odd that our commercials have so many of them. He said that if you’re interested in medicine shouldn’t you ask your doctor for it? True.
I love seeing ads for old technology. It makes you realize just how far things have come.
Oh wow thanks for posting these old commercials so cool ❤love the oldies 60s and 70s are people were much easier going and calmer no stress like today and they dressed up to go out lol thanks for the memories❤so relaxing watching the whole video lol. Keep them coming …
Best time of my life
There will never be time like the 70's
Thank you Classic Commercial Archives for allowing me to "time travel".
A special Thank You to all of those on RUclips for preserving and providing these special moments of our childhood and teens years.
I've spent a lifetime of collecting items such as those in these commercials. My house is like a museum of the 60s and 70s.
My logic is that the day will come when Dementia or Alzheimer's will strike. Having this memorabilia around will hopefully slow down the loss of memory and to also remind of when life was oh, so much more innocent.
I wish the past few generations didn't have to deal with all the insanity going on in this country. We were very fourtunate. Lets find a way to keep the innocence alive for future generations. Love to our special Baby Boomers.
You said it 😊
Awesome 1970's vintage commercials!!
I was a teenager in the 70s and I remember most of these commercials.
Sitting here on a Sunday watching this is sooooo relaxing and wonderful, with all these actors in commercials before and after they became famous I remember all of this.
i wish i was alive during this time. it seems so nice and cozy
My son used to asked me why was everybody smiling on American bandstand or soultrain? Its because everyones happy. Plane and simple people were happier.😊
Trust me, it wasn’t this ideal. There were a lot of problems in the 70’s
The Seventies Were Great It’s Even Better Than You Imagine.
The degree of mental disruption that happens when 'today's' youtube commercials pop into this vintage commercial space is huge! The sound, visuals and cadence is bonkers by comparison to the rather playful, whimsical, jaunty vibe of the classics. I am biased for being born in 1970 but still ... thanks for the upload!
Thank you SO much for this wonderful collection.
How i loved family film festival on Saturday mornings. And the kroft supershow after school. Also loved school house rock.
When fast food restaurants used to cook their food on a grill or fryer. Now the food is flash cooked in quick microwave type ovens. 😝 I remember these commercials thanks for posting.
When there are literally billions more hungry people on the earth to feed we have to evolve a little bit. Cook your own food.
@@carrrie_lynnn~Those flash cooking ovens are just high powered convection ovens with microwave settings and infared technology, just like the ones you can buy for home use, lol 😮.
Cooking Burgers hasn't really changed that much...The mom n' pop independent burger restaurants still use grills, griddles and deep fryers....
🍔 🍟McDonald's® still use fryers for their fries 🍟....Air Fryer and infra-red technology has been out for a little
while now... Fast food places will, at some point, start utilizing this tech more, as consumer expectations increase, and demand for healthier cooking methods are developed...
If you want high-end burger. Go to a steakhouse not a fast food place.
I'm 58 I remember a lot of these
Does anybody remember a commercial with an old lady driving a model T car crashing through a barn from one end then coming out the other chasing someone and haystacks flying everywhere? Its a memory stuck for years😢
I think it’s the old Wendy’s Where’s the Beef commercial 😊
Man, we had so fewer products back then!!
My favorite commercials ever were the Ktel compilation series.
I grew up in the 60s and 70s and I remember a lot of these. The prices were certainly different back then.
Wish we could go back to the 70s I was born in 1973
So miss the 70s
A four-slice toaster for less than $20?! HOW DO THEY DO IT?!?!
Everything was cheaper back then.
Inflation. I found an inflation calculator online. I entered 1970 and it said a dollar back then was equal to $8 today.
From memory, things cost twice as much now as they used to 20yrs ago.
Love it! Commercials are so different now. I remember a lot of these. Appreciate you.
Now you dont even know what the heck is being advertised, LOL
@@tisenhow the commercials today has me thinking .. who is the target audience? Sometimes the space is just filled with a still add with digital music of nothing but a loop a random sound .
Love that I’m skipping todays commercials just to watch 1970s ones. I love the late 60s and the entire 1970s. It’s my fave era. 13:08 my grandma actually worked at Helene Curtis back in the 70s and was there even after they were bought by Unilever. She finally retired about 2 years ago. She remembers this hair product!! She still swears by Dove although Suave has changed sadly. She misses Helene Curtis and since she was there for so long, I think I may have some stuff from that company laying around in a box somewhere!! Too cool! Love seeing those commercials!! It’s fun to ask her about them!
what wonderful memories im 56 and remember all of them groovy
Wait... McDonald's had Banana shakes? 😋 😮 wow they need to seriously bring that back
It must have been for a limited time because I honestly don't remember McDonald's having banana shakes.
If anyone wants to know WHY America was better back then, just watch these commercials. The products were better, and the people were better. Friendly. More honest. Just better. I miss these days so so much. It was the last of the good times in America.
Before reganomics destroyed the country.
A different timeline. I am proud to been born in the 70s. We are currently in a new dimension.
I was born in 62, and this time was my childhood. It was great and people were still good. Products were still good. Burger King was actually flame broiled and Cokes were still made with real Sugar.
Tell me about it that's why I'm glad I was born in 69 I caught all of the 70s from the beginning to the end!
@@foobarmaximus3506yeah all the food back in the 70s was still organic that's what I miss just everything in the 70s was different oh and a little hint do you remember when they used to say that Coca-Cola had a little bit of cocaine in it that's why people were so addicted to it back then LOL I know my grandmother was highly addictive to Coca-Cola back in the seventies lol
The 70s was classic. Growing into my teens was rough and so we’re a lot of these commercials. Lol. Great memories though.
This is very, very hard to watch. Life was SO so good in the 1970s in America. Everything was better. People were better. What happened? Dang man. I wish I had a time machine, big time. I would never come back.
I have to agree!!!
Agree completely
I couldn't agree even more
I'm in my early 30s and living in hell in today's world, I'd give anything to be in my 30s in the 70s or even 80s.. I'd be thriving alot more..
Reagan happened.
Better in the 70s? Every car was a gas guzzler. Catalytic converters were not required on the cars till the middle of a decade. And air pollution was significantly worse than it is now… Just try to Google that.
Water pollution was off the charts. In the second half of the 70s the unemployment rate was around 10% as were mortgage rates.
The president in the early part of the 70s was on the verge of being removed because he was a crook and just barely had enough class and a sense of shame to resign… gee was that 1974 or 2019?
Public schools all across the nation were still segregated… Which I guess was fine if you were a white kid like me… But not so much if you were a person of color.
Yeah, those 1970s were awesome weren’t they?
Aldo Cella! Oh my! I haven't seen that in soooo long! I love these although i don't remember them all. Commercials used to try to entertain you while selling you something, and that often worked well. I'm not sure what they're trying to do with commercials now except drive you crazy. Those 5 minute pharmaceutical commercials! Ugh! Thanks very much for posting this.
Love those times
Just subbed to you. Excellent job on this video. I so wanted to be a content creator. Except mine was all about Hot Wheels. But my health issues derailed all my hopes and then Covid-19 shattered them more. I do understand how much work entails this type of video. Great job sir! I'll be watching for you. I grew up in the 70's and 80's so these commercials are perfect for me. So many memories! Thanks again!
It’s fun seeing all the soon to be celebrities that started their career in commercials. So far I see Kim Basinger and Steve Guttenberg lol
I was born in 2000, but wow. So much less insulting on consumer intelligence and so much less obnoxious with no annoying gimicks
Just lots of jingles that stayed in our heads for ever i.e. better marketing. Have a coke and a smile, the ultimate bubble bubblicious, when you say Budweiser you said it all…
I wasn't around for most of these as an early 80s baby but they make me nostalgic.
I was born in '95 but these feel comforting to me
It was a great time !!!
The plastic hippie generation until the disco craze started.
15.02😮 the kosher hotdog commercial was trying to warn us ahead of time. You’ll never see a commercial like that today.
Aw!! The gorgeous Kim Basinger washing her hair with Beer on Tap shampoo. Wow!!
All the feels. 🥰
I was born in 98 but this makes me feel happy❤
Just what I've always hoped for. More commercials in my life.
If I could turn back time 😢
When jingles were jingles!😊
2:33 Kim Basinger. “ Batman” 1989, “L.A. Confidential” and “ 8 Mile.” Body on tap commercial. As a kid I remember that shampoo with beer in it. I wondered back then if you could drink it. Haha
Back then there were probably a lot of people dumb enough or desperate enough to have tried drinking Body on Tap.
Watching The Mary Tyler Moore Show on Hulu and I've been muting the ads and watching this video instead. Works so well.
44:23 ...wow what an ad.
These are like visiting and old friend.❤
If you weren’t in the 70s you missed it all
The people that weren't in the 70's doesn't missed "all" because the time don't ended in the 70's, the time continues, and they will live more things that when they become old they will remember it like you remember the 70's.
@@Akaruihi-A1968I lived in the 70s. And you are correct. I actually miss the 90s more anyway
@@peartist2I miss the 80s. 90s were bland.
80s were not better than 70s or 90s. Music and fashion sucked in the 80s.
Well I caught it all I'm so glad I was born in 69 👍💯
Heartwarming commercials I love thus stuff especially the narrators.
I get the distinct impression that Lucasfilms really didn't know how big their Star Wars franchise was going to be, based off the very general, no frills adverts on TV
Movie trailers and TV spots weren't an art form in the 1970s like they are now. They just gave some basic information about a film and that was it.
The 70s. Very interesting.
The California Compact girl stoned for sure😂
This is worth saving for Dorothy Hamill!😊
1:01 Peter Thomas for Coke.
46:29 Janet Carroll, who played the mom in the movie "Risky Business."
18:45 Fred Holliday, one of the all-time great commercial actors.
2:33 Kim Basinger. “ Batman” 1989, “L.A. Confidential” and “ 8 Mile.” Body on tap commercial. As a kid I remember that shampoo with beer in it. I wondered back then if you could drink it. Haha
Awesome, I love risky business
@@jessepinkman7349 she’s so gorgeous in that commercial 😍
“Why’s grandma eating off the ironing board?”
You missed the announcer for original peoples court, lol
These were great commercials.
Now days all that's on TV are commercials advertising drugs with life threatening side affects. Sad but true.
Drugs and violence and sex..itsa sad world
5:32 Police Academy The Prequel ! 😂 "Move it Mahoney, Move it Move it Move it! "
Mary Tyler Moore and Bob New Hart, I loved those shows as a young teen.
You just couldn't beat those two shows. The very best!
Two of the best shows in the 70s by far
Thanks for sharing.
Growing up in the seventies was fn great, cool fashion and great toys
Commercials you didn't mind watching
I. LOVE. LOVE LOVE. THE. 1970S
SEND. ME. BACK HOME I.
FEEL SICK HERE IN 2023
IT DOES. NOT AGREE WITH
ME. OR MY BODY WHY
BECAUSE I. AM HOMESICK
THATS WHY
I agree with you
Loves baby soft, Mercury Zephyr z7. And Doug Leuwellin then Magnavox with Odyssey!
I love this
19:51 That looks like Doug Llewelyn from The Peoples Court!
That's him. Thanks I couldn't quite place him
Hate to say this, but the demographics in these commercials is startlingly obvious and life looks so serene and peaceful. So sad what has happened to disrupt our world. Look at commercials today versus these and you’ll know what I mean. What a difference.
Truth
I have to say I strongly agree and not afraid to say it……
Look at what neighborhoods u feel very safe in, what are the demographics???
Look at where the crime is lowest and crime is highest!!!
Look at the demographics of the safest states in the country, what’s the common denominator??
I had forgotten all about ILGWU’s “Look for the union label” song.
Loved Body on Tap. Great scent. Kim Bassinger too
Back when commercials were actually an art, and as a Gen X'er it hits home with me (especially those in the late 70s and into the 80s). Now commercials today are garbage like "reality" TV.
Fun fact. The Bubblicious commercial was created at Lisberger Studios. Who were they? This was the studio that Steven Lisberger put together. So who was Steven? He was the director/creator of Disney's Tron and was a Producer as well as a character in Tron Legacy. Early on Steven and his team at Lisberger Studios did many of the animated commercials and worked on of Sesame Street's animation. He's also known for Animal-lympics that was played during the Winter Olympics in the 80s.
Back when employees didn't have a nasty attitude at McDonald's.
summer 1977
I grew up in the 80’s so I totally missed out on these gens.
No prescription drug ads with the hundreds of side effects!
🤣
Yeah - when we were younger big pharma brought their ads directly to the docs and the docs were expected to pitch the meds to us. They just got rid of the medicman.
They still had those side effects, just weren't legally required to disclose them in ads. Basically they aren't allowed to hide their BS, they just blast their BS in your face in fine print now
I remember the Star Wars advertisement when it first aired. Dang I'm getting old. 🤯
McD’s fish fryer should have been asked,
“ Tell em your nickname, Bruce!”
I never would have believed someone would just sit around and just record commercials!
SNL did a spoof of the textile/clothing union commercial in 1970s but the workers were growing weed instead of making garments.
Memory has a way of making things seem better. And I’m grateful the brain can be kind to history. I don’t mean to be a downer, but there were MANY worries in the ‘70’s. Lots, if not most, average people were pretty sure the world was falling apart 😂. I’m really glad it all worked out ❤ It lets me enjoy these commercials fondly :-)
Speak For Your Self.
Sally has her rainbow colors in the right order
ROY G BIV ! 👍
I like the sound of tape hist 😊
This was a time when commercials inspired people. These days, people just ignore commercials.
As a middle schooler I had a huge crush on Dorothy Hamill & the banana shake
