People who weren't alive at this time just can't appreciate how great it was. Even kids growing up had freedom to bike and walk the neighborhood without helicopter parents hovering constantly!
@@elwinskittle166 Seffy, I understand. We just have to do the best with what we have to work with today.
You’re so right! It was so innocent and wonderful compared to now. People were so different. Now that our society and economy are based on consumerism instead of manufacturing, the measure of success for most is money, instead of character. I remember Made in America was top of the line; our cars, our steel, our appliances, all of it.
Dang that sounds great but I’m still happy I’m born much later, otherwise I’d be old like you.
I'm 66 years old know what you mean 😊👍👍👍👍👍
@@tonyallen6510 Tony, I was able to walk to school without my parents constantly worried. Today, I see armored-car SUVs drop off the too-precious tykes, who will never gain independence.
I used to avoid commercials and now I'm watching them...
love the way the hostess fruit pies, twinkies and (soon to be called Ho-Ho's) were advertised as "fresh" and "freshness never tasted so good" - good thing there was no false advertising back then.
Oh my goodness I was 10 in 1974. I wish we could go back to 1970.... This world is evil now
It was evil then, too. You just didn't know! It's a win-win
Back then no internet, no cell phones...it was great.
I sure miss the rotary phones. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
back then there were cool people
Yeah, and we still got by fine. It's ironic that more technology is supposed to make life easier and instead we're more stressed out than ever before.

Age 16 in 1972… the BEST
year in my life! Drivers
License, GR8 music, food,
ETC!!! CB
No lawyer ads and no big pharma ads back then
The Cuckoo Appliance Co. spokes lady gives me a funny feeling down there.
🤣🤣
I miss those times. Back then, I never imagined that the USA would be as bad as it is today.
America was even more divided in 1972 than it is today with just as many problems. If you were a kid then, your memory doesn't reflect how bad the times were. About the only difference is we have far better technology today.
L’eggs!!! My mom and sister would buy and give me the “egg” to play with.
Ruth Buzzi was at the top of her career in this moment -- a popular cast member on Laugh In, one of the era's hottest prime time comedy shows.
Never thought I'd hear Twinkie and fresh in the same sentence..
I had just joined the Marine Corps in August 1972 and was getting ready to go to boot camp in December. My recruiter had already told me my chances of going to Viet Nam were pretty much guaranteed. That kind of stuff weighs heavily on the mind of an 18 year old.
President Nixon
Ended the draft
June of 1972.CB
@@EmmyPierz-ek7hi I literally said in my post that I joined. I didn't say I was drafted, yet here you are talking about it! So what's your point?
@@justdoingitjim7095 I read your post
AND I KNOW you joined. I stated the
June 1972 , Nixon ended the draft. I
being a 16 year old male at that time,
was relieved. Signed up for my draft card in 1971, and in August 1971, the
front page of newspaper stated MY
BIRTH DATE was the #1 Army draft
pick! If the war continued into 1974,
upon graduating high school, my
plans were to join the coast guard as
a cook…
Why are you SO touchy?
You read into things that aren’t even
there?? CB
That first guy in the Slim Jim ad is Dr. Beeper from "Caddyshack." And that's Jennifer Warren in the Tiparillo commercial. Betsy Palmer in the Lux commercial was later Jason Voorhees's mom in "Friday the 13th." Dena Dietrich (aka Chiffon Margarine's "Mother Nature") and Franklin Cover (Tom Willis on "The Jeffersons") in the Glad oven bags commercial.
Dr. Beeper? Oh, you mean Dan Resin.
@@luisreyes1963 Yep!
A stereo console delivered for ine week with no obligation to buy? Im calling.
That's why they call it cuckoo appliance
Perfect year. Perfect Miami Dolphins too! 🐬 😊
Im a product of the 70s. I had that GE tape recorder.
1972 - when people read books, not phones
2023 - I read books on my phone
@@FranklyPeetoons You missed out
Chuck McCann in the endust commercial. He also did Mel Brooks movie, “ Robin Hood, Men In Tights”. Before that, he did the “Far Out Space Nuts” , with Bob Denver.
I am delighted these idly digitized/gathered commercials are pinging childhood memory cells of so many viewers. Some of these came from my own personally-recorded VHS garbage pile (grabbed with a Canopus ADVC-100 over Firewire, hooked up to mid-90s VCRs), and some came from online archives scattered all over the web. Ah lurvs this kind of she-it, myself. However, RUclips has repeatedly pulled the rug out from under me when this channel was ripe for monetization. Thus, uploads are more sparse these days. But it doesn't mean they've stopped. Keep watching this channel because who knows when new batches will be uploaded.

Did you see those GIANT Hostess fruitpies? I brought one a few years ago, they are now tinier than the palm of kids hand, and barely any fruit in them.
And people were thinner. What happened?
That's not going to please Bobby Hill...
I was 9 years old in 1972! Great time to be a kid❤❤❤❤❤
The Slim Jim commercial is especially interesting. If you eat more than two of those within ten minutes, your flatulence will glow in the dark, a bilious yellow-green cloud that eventually dominates the room. Obviously, Slim Jims were trial balloons as an instrument for use in combat, before the military industrial complex settled on infra-red heat imaging technology.
Love the fond memories I remember 90% of these and I was 4 years old in 1972 late 72 born oct 30th 1968
I was born in June '68. Memories.....
@Benedict Guillermo Nice copy-paste bot. That software is proven false and a means to hacking those who download it.
@@Bluelilly40I was born in June of 68’ too. I remember a few of these.
My family had the stereo & television as well. 70's bebe everything cheap, cheap, cheap including Rent
The commercial didn't show the stereo. Just the furniture piece it comes in.
Strange. Not the right way to advertise a product.
After watching this, I feel strongly about one thing. The only thing I missed out on from the 70s due to not having been alive, is the giant Hostess cakes!
I was 23 years-old in 1972, and I remember seeing about four of these t.v. ads back in the day. 'Ring around the collar' stands out. BTW, look how big those Hostess cakes and pies were back then for about 25 cents, compared with today's.
Lol I was only born in '95 but I absolutely LOVE watching these old ads
I turned 32in 1995! Those were my partying days! Well, I'm all partied out at 59!😆
@@Market-ro1gp ME TOO!
I graduated high school in '95. 😊
Hmmm…not sure if Mr. Hoss going to eat that Chop Suey dinner…sorry Hop Sing…😂😂
I am sick of commercials today, always about medical things. 😮
I miss commercials like this. Today's are all medical ads for prescription meds. No catchy jingles. And they repeat over and over
the Glad oven cooking bags has Franklin Cover from The Jeffersons in it
Thank you. Fantastic collection of commercials from circa 1972. I get a kick out of all the comments about how simple and great America was in 1972. Actually, the country was even more divided than today. Of course, Vietnam had a lot to do with it but the country was sharply divided by many of the same "culture war" issues we have today. Inflation was so bad in 1971 , Nixon ordered a "wage price freeze" . A year later in 1973, an OPEC oil embargo triggered the first so called "energy crisis" . Also, the county had just as many social and environmental problems then as now . The main difference is we have much better technology today but everything else really hasn't changed much in 50 years😕
OPEC, the first energy crisis... long lines at the gas station.... During 73/74 Nixon administration actually set standard Time back another hour. At school day's end I'd do weight lifting. It would be Twilight when dad came to the school to pick me up.
I was a kid and life seemed like some type of utopia.
Wish we could go back. So many angry people out there now days.
there always were its all relative
There wasn't the road rage and shootings like today!! Get your head out of your ass!! LMAO@@YOUARESOFT.
That was when advertisers had a literate audience. For years now the goal is to have a message that a person with an IQ of 50 can understand it.
You must be really bored and have nothing to do I feel so sad for you
Trumpers fall into that category. Must have hit the mark with you...@@tgwoolshire
RUTH BUZZI!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
People used to dress up before getting on the plane back then.
Damn 50 years and some of these things are still around.
I still have one of those stereos...
I worked at a TV repair shop in 1980. We had to go pick those 300 lb. monsters up and repair,then take em back.
@@donlarocque5157 TV repairman? I bet you've got like, this ultimate set of tools...Lol! I haven't had this thing plugged in, in years... I don't even know if it still works...but soon as I get my new shed built, and get my house rearranged, I'm gonna move it back to the living room and test it out... I only have one or two 8 tracks left & I'd be afraid the tape is so old it would immediately be ruined if I tried to play them... but I got around 200 albums, so I got plenty to play on it still...if it works...Lol!
@@Road_Rash It'd be neat to replace the whole inner with modern tech. It looks like it's ancient but it blows the window out.
Thank you so much for making this 😊 I was only 9 but I remember always outside walking all over woodland park zoo .
No cellphones, internet, home computers, cable TV was just getting started. 5 channels on TV, you listened to the radio for your music. Yet people were WAY happier.
Gotta love the womens hair-doos back then
Notice the size of the Hostess cakes in that commercial. You get half that now for 4x the price...
And they taste like shit now
Yes you are correct.
@@georgepatton6195Yes, I can’t eat that stuff anymore, taste like sugar and chemicals.
old times best times.
housewives all around
what an age!
Hi
Graduated high school that year. Nixon was president, my Dad had purchased our new’72 Ford Torino Grand Sport, I started college and we guys were still worrying about the draft (Viet Nam wasn’t over till’75).
I was 8 years old in 72. I remember most of the commercials but a few don't ring a bell. But growing up in small town Montana, we only had 2 channels in 72. Funny thing is, is my mom had a stereo that looked just like the one at the beginning. It was awesome growing up in the 70s!!!
Women were not outraged - it was a very different time- Good Grief!!!
Call me crazy but it seemed like they were a lot happier too
The Toys 'R' Us commercial kinda made me sad.
Yup, era gone by.
Back in the day you could get a hernia lifting a TV.
That's why people got friends back then.
I can remember my dad reacting to the "ring around the collar" commercials- What kind of a filthy slob is so dirty he turns his collars black!"
IKR ?!?
10:05 Burgess Meredith voicing the United Airlines commercial.
Thank you. I recognized a familiar voice but couldn't put a name to it.
Holy shit the size of those Hostess pies.
Thought the same. The day when a Twinkie could ruin your dinner. fr.
I’m watching this because I was born in 1972
I called the number and they are sending me the stereo to try for 7 days!
Was wondering,, would it even ring?
I also sometimes say "no" to snack cake! 1:47 It's like these commercials know me.
It's mind boggling that to get nation wide advertisement, you had only 3 stations. What a coup for the big three.
Omg. I remember when every kid wanted and got a tape recorder for Christmas. Simple fun times.
The tape recorder which Father Karras used in 'The Exorcist' in 1973
I like to watch these and pretend its the 70's. When people were normal.
And tripping on pure LSD
At least they're talking about the actual product they're selling. Today's commercials are nothing but buffoonery and virtue-signalling.
Agreed! Half the time I don’t even know what they’re advertising in modern commercials.
Nothing better than the 70s American heydays
Betsy Palmer the mom of Jason who killed everyone at camp krystal in the original Friday the 13th
Remember when conditioner was called CRÈME RINSE?!? Very FANCY sounding
I always wanted to see what commercials looked like the year I was born. I finally got my wish. Now I can die happy. 🤗🤗🤗
Back then even junk food actually tasted good. Back when Corporations used real ingredients and a lot less preservatives. Twinkies didnt always last 45 years and they tasted better when they didnt.
Super 1972 TV commercials!!
It was like yesterday. United didn’t even beat passengers back then. It was a different world. Can’t believe that was 52 years ago.
I was born in 1957 which made the 70's a journey through my teen years! I remember everything on television and the advertising was actually enjoyable. The most you had to hear about perspiration was veiled through the "ring around the collar " jingle !! Whats better than Ann Blyth serving up a tray of Hostess pies and Twinkies to her two kids! Ha ha
( she was a Hollywood movie star in the 40's )
I was born in 63. I was a kid during the 70’s. Good times.❤
‘58 here - I remember a lot of these the 70’s took me from 12 - 22
Lloyd Bridges for Magnavox - "Looks like I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue!" (I know, I know - it's overused but it was either that or some dumb "Sea Hunt" reference, so y'all got off lucky...)
Na .. the sniffing glue reference never gets old ... puts that image of that dude with his hair standing on end sniffing superglue 😂
Less pressure noisy ass adds..seemed less negative than todays crappy tv..thank you for the reminder of a different time
Oh my gosh! My mom used to put all three of us kids in the van and do the backwards brake-slam thing!🤣 Why we had to go with her, I'll never know
I had no idea that SLIM JIMs were around back in 1972!!! :o :o :o
You think you don’t remember these until about 2 seconds in, never thought I’d miss commercials. Thanks FP
I graduated from high school in 1972. I remember the ring around the collar commercial and many others. Noxema! Yikes, the smell is unforgettable not in a good way. It was a much simpler time.
Yeah, Noxzema had a scent all its own. My mother and grandmother used the stuff.
I like old stuff.
Your not alone I'm 66 years old
Things seemed so different.
I just get a different feeling when I watch older TV series and commercials. I like to imagine what people did for fun back then.
@@kylewilson9189 57 years old here.
We ran around outside, read books, started aquariums, rode horses, just had fun
This was the social ethos as I left home to attend college 50 years ago. In retrospect, so many of the bad choices I made as a young adult make sense given the TV I grew up on. What will today's advertisements tell Gen Z-ers and Millennials about themselves fifty years from today?
The minimum wage in 1972 was $1.60 an hour. So if you were making $3 an hour you were making good money. Gasoline was still about 32 cents a gallon until the end of 1973.
Some of these products of course are long gone. Others are still going strong.
March of ‘72 I was making $1.20/hr. By May I was making $2.00/hr. and I was rolling in it! Good money for a young single guy! Remember halter tops? I don’t think one guy ever told the ladies just how much we could see!
@@maxwellspeedwell2585 I was making $1.80 then and certainly not complaining. By 1973, $2.35 and I did allright. Single, no kids and older car paid for made it much easier.
Betsy Palmer is scary in this commercial. She's scary in anything coz she's Jason's mom.
She was a society lady TV personality, sort of like a WASP version of Arlene Francis in the '50s and '60s. Who would have guessed that she would end up being best remembered as Jason's psycho-mom?
people were better looking back then.
I don't judge people by their looks, I judge them if they're a good person. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Of course they look good, they're good looking enough to get hired for commercials. Regular people didn't look like these actors and actresses.

@@gramethyst2920 l did.
I graduated in 1972. I have never seen any of these. Maybe they’re regional?
Some of them are regional, but most of them are national.
Class of 73 here and I'm with you. There's a couple I remember but most of them I don't. I grew up in So Cal.
I am a lucky man to have lived in my particular past and my particular future .
I turned 17 in february of 72 and i had 90 days to show up at the draft boatd for my physical and to be classified for military service or they would come looking for me.the lottery stopped in november and they signed the peace accords jan. 31 1973
A tape recorder commercial, that takes me back. 😌
I don’t miss all the smokers from back then.
Arby’s just had roast beef sandwiches back then, not the twenty plus they have now.
About 2:44 - "I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue" ;-)
I was 10 years old March 1 1972 in Miami from New York.
What happened to ring around the collar ?..I guess nobody wears collared shirts anymore.
Not BUTTONED collars anyway. Lol
Interesting marketing techniques.
In the slim jim commercial I was surprised to see that they had people not like the product and of course the tag line at the end about some will like it and some wont.
I also found it surprising with the dishwasher soap Vox that they say the soap will work just as good as all other brands and the big selling point was that it makes your hands smooth/soft.
Can you imagine the Chung King or even that Endust commercial in 2021😬?
I quite literally could NOT with either one of them
I picked the wrong day to stop watching television.... Magnavox
Back in 1972 America was still on top of the world. You see it, feel it, in these ads.
Top of the world ma! Said jimmy Cagney. On top of the water tower. Before the fall.
Well, not really. We had just lost Vietnam, and the Arab oil embargo was about to cripple us badly at home. We had an inflation rate so bad that Nixon had to intervene with price-fixing. Our airliners were being hijacked regularly and blown up. There were still race riots in our cities, and even one that year in the navy. The Soviets also terrified us into signing a nuclear arms reduction treaty. I remember the early seventies as a time of disarray at home and humiliation overseas. Yes, there was breezy bluster in these ads, but there's that in today's ads too. (Probably more sabre-rattling now, as a matter of fact). I remember it being really uncool for anyone to fly the flag in front of their house.
REALLY, what about Vietnam...
@@robertsmith6188the television has ALWAYS been a deceiver to lull the stupid into a stupor, while the controllers raped, destroyed, and ransacked the innocent and nature for power and greed . It's Satan's world. For whoso love the world, the love of the father is not in him.
@@DuncanFisher-s5s so your reporting no change then. Except the flag flying like the facsist countries do!
I was 11/12 years old.
I remember the good old days of going to the gas station where the attendant pumped the gas for you and gave you a free gift. I used to get glasses and 2 pounds of sugar, AND S&H Green Stamps.
I remember the good old days of going to a gas station where you could use dollar bills in a vending machine to buy gas. This innovation didn't last long...
I was a kid in the 70’s. Our local, family owned gas station would hand out STP t shirts and stickers.

How refreshing to women not ashamed to be women. I remember all of these commercials on our small black and white TV with the rabbit ears. WE didn't get our first color TV, a 27 inch cabinet type. I got to watch the Waltons and Kung Fu in color, how amazing was that. I don't recognize what we have now as normal. It's weird as if the insane asylum inmates are running everything.
We had our first colour TV in 74. The tech who set it up was colour blind. Had to get someone else in to fix it.
@@dawnelder9046 The first thing I saw, at about 1975, was a baseball game in color. It looed so amazing.
Actually, a lot of the advertising from that era was directed at the subliminal shame we felt about being women. Our weight, our hair, our skin, our body odors, the stains in our family's laundry...we felt responsible for all of that and advertisers knew that and nurtured that dissatisfaction.
@@xelamercedes Unfortunately, That agenda still exists. Not as deeply promoted as it had been, but still exists in commercials.
Mitt Romney killed Toy’s R US. Romney had already become legendary as one of the founders of the multibillion-dollar hedge fund, which specialized in leveraged buyouts of major companies, loading them with debt to facilitate big payouts for itself and then dropping them like a wet rag. Just in time for Christmas isn’t that nice.
