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.
@@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.
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.🇺🇲📺📺🇺🇲

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.
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.
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.
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.
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 …
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 😭
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.😊
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 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..
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?
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.
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.
@@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...
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😢
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!
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.
@@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
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.
@@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 .
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
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.
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!
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
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.

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.
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.
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??
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.
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
You people who grew up in the Boston area like I did in the '60s and '70s will remember that man fly fishing in the stream in the "I Love New York" ad at 5:03 - that's Rex Trailer, the host of the long-running Boston area kids show Boomtown. The woman at 20:54 in the Love's Baby Soft commercial is Julia Montgomery from Revenge of the Nerds. At 27:07 and 27:21 respectively in that One-a-Day vitamins commercial, that's Dee Wallace Stone (Elliott's mom in E.T.) and Barrie Youngfellow (It's a Living). And at 33:26 in the Right Guard ad, it's Kene Holliday from Carter Country and Matlock. In the Sammy Davis Jr. Alka-Seltzer spot at 34:28, the guy who answers the door is Dan Resin, who was Dr. Beeper in Caddyshack. At 52:19 in the Purina Cat Chow ad, the voice of the "97 ounce weakling" is Marvin Kaplan, who was the voice of Choo Choo on Top Cat, and was also Henry the plumber on Alice. I love how Jim Fixx is the spokesman in that ad for American Express, and in the commercial they show him running. For those too young to remember him, he was the famous marathon runner who died of a massive heart attack while he was out...running. SNL parodied that Mercury Monarch commercial, only instead of a diamond cutter they had a rabbi performing a bris (ouch!).
Haven't you watched the pink lie. Not real name but a documentary claiming they've had a cure for a long time but it makes them so much money all the way down to a tiny pink ribbon keychain.
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 :-)
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 miss all the cheesy singing and sometimes dancing, in those old commercials. They have must had one hell of a budget, to do all that. When was the last you heard a singing jingle, that wasn't a well know sampled recording?
You wouldnt be able to call Campbell soup the manhandler in this day and age they would be protesting outside the company's headquarters. Our world has gone stupid!

Heartwarming commercials I love thus stuff especially the narrators.
SNL did a spoof of the textile/clothing union commercial in 1970s but the workers were growing weed instead of making garments.

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!!!

Mary Tyler Moore and Bob New Hart, I loved those shows as a young teen.

This is worth saving for Dorothy Hamill!😊
One of the best differences from then is there were no pharmaceutical company ads! The world was much better then, or at least it seemed to be.
With 5 minutes of horrible side affects 😮 I don’t even usually have the TV on anymore. I can’t stand the commercials. They are awful!
Yup
When jingles were jingles!😊
Steve Guttenberg @5:30 did this commercial before he was a Toronto police officer.
People were just so much better back then, watching these and then looking at our society today is really sad
You people who grew up in the Boston area like I did in the '60s and '70s will remember that man fly fishing in the stream in the "I Love New York" ad at 5:03 - that's Rex Trailer, the host of the long-running Boston area kids show Boomtown. The woman at 20:54 in the Love's Baby Soft commercial is Julia Montgomery from Revenge of the Nerds. At 27:07 and 27:21 respectively in that One-a-Day vitamins commercial, that's Dee Wallace Stone (Elliott's mom in E.T.) and Barrie Youngfellow (It's a Living). And at 33:26 in the Right Guard ad, it's Kene Holliday from Carter Country and Matlock. In the Sammy Davis Jr. Alka-Seltzer spot at 34:28, the guy who answers the door is Dan Resin, who was Dr. Beeper in Caddyshack. At 52:19 in the Purina Cat Chow ad, the voice of the "97 ounce weakling" is Marvin Kaplan, who was the voice of Choo Choo on Top Cat, and was also Henry the plumber on Alice. I love how Jim Fixx is the spokesman in that ad for American Express, and in the commercial they show him running. For those too young to remember him, he was the famous marathon runner who died of a massive heart attack while he was out...running. SNL parodied that Mercury Monarch commercial, only instead of a diamond cutter they had a rabbi performing a bris (ouch!).
“Is cancer such big business, that we can’t afford to cure it? 39:16
Absolutely!
Yes
Haven't you watched the pink lie. Not real name but a documentary claiming they've had a cure for a long time but it makes them so much money all the way down to a tiny pink ribbon keychain.
The 70s. Very interesting.
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 :-)

When he was so gorgeous and uncarved...😥
I never would have believed someone would just sit around and just record commercials!
I grew up in the 80’s so I totally missed out on these gens.
I love this
As a middle schooler I had a huge crush on Dorothy Hamill & the banana shake
All the feels. 🥰
0:32- The late Bill Saluga, as "Raymond J. Johnson".
I miss all the cheesy singing and sometimes dancing, in those old commercials. They have must had one hell of a budget, to do all that. When was the last you heard a singing jingle, that wasn't a well know sampled recording?
This was a time when commercials inspired people. These days, people just ignore commercials.
You wouldnt be able to call Campbell soup the manhandler in this day and age they would be protesting outside the company's headquarters. Our world has gone stupid!
