Commercials without a visible copyright displayed (prior to 1989) are in public domain, though music isn't necessarily. Due to the rarity and extreme popularity of this video (it's averaging 1,000 views a day), I've uploaded a higher quality mpeg2 file to The Internet Archive (minus the Life Cereal commercial, which is unquestionably still under copyright):

Every Bill Cosby joke that could possibly be made HAS already been made by one of the million+ viewers.
I was 14 that winter in northern michigan. I became so fed up with the state of commercialism I would go out and spend the evening shoveling snow. This was the era of chintziness..pound the made up message through cheap production. We were fresh out of our bicentennial, pushing crap like pintos and vegas. Gas had just jumped from 50 cents to 2 dollars. Pushing crap was nothing new, but at this point everyone had a tv and phone, cable was the rage, and a video tape recorder could be carried on a shoulder. This half hour only reminds me of why we're so much more f****d up lately. I think we're better off with charlie brown and dr seuss.
Vinnie Rattolle GREAT POINT

The Fourth Watch let me guess you voted for Trump?
I often think about being able to go back in time for just a day in the 70s as a kid when my parents were alive. Riding my bike everywhere, playing outside from sun up till sun down. God I miss those times.
same here. It makes me ssad to see how crude, rude and uncivil our society has become.
Same here as well. I remembered so many of these commercials, and several triggered some long ago conditioned response to think I was about to head out the door and go outside.
Rebel Provost things didn't get any better then those dsys.
Right, it’s unfortunate kids today don’t get the same chance with all the evil in the world. We could stay out all day at friends house and come back when the street lights came on. I miss those days too!
@@IRgEEK
You said it ❗
Kinda like drinking an RC Cola on a hot day
Was 11 years old in 1977. No smart phones, computer games, and kids played outside all summer . So much better than where we’re currently at. Happier times for sure
Same..Born 01/21/1966... What a great time to be a kid..I remember my parents let us stay up a little longer to view the pilot of a new show..That show was "There's Company" and I just new it was going to be a hit... lol 😁👍
This was back in the day when I was the remote.
And the antennae
Hahah me too
LOL!
The clunk clunk clunk with the tv dial.
LOL, and a wad of aluminum foil stuck to the antennae was your HDTV! :-P
Nostalgic even for me at 55 years of age. OMG, where has time gone?
Hopefully, death does not call upon us until our 80s???
never thought I would spend almost 29 minutes voluntarily watching commercials but this worked for me.
carrychris2010 funny that we got up and walked through 6 feet of shag carpet to switch channels, and NOW, I value these commercials like they were gold.
3642130
Lol lmao agreed
Lol me too
these people were high as fuck
3642130 WOW, I haven’t thought of shag carpet in years and years. Nor green or gold colored appliances. Oh, can’t forget the blue.
These commercials reflect a life less rushed, less anxiety, and calmer minds
Yup. There was a slower pace of life back then.
o so true
And no "LGBT community"!
@@TheMICMusicInspirationChannel I sense someone with issues...
Cause cellphones were not common :) or internet, hence you need a community of nosey ass people.
God, 1977 was the best year. Everything was good.
The 70’s looked fun! My mom and dad were both 13 in 1977. Watching these is kinda like I’m going back and watching it with them haha.
The '70s were definitely a lot of fun! In 1977, I was 18, and my boyfriend at the time and I would take long drives in his car, with music on the radio extra loud! 🌠
Marie Brown - That does sound fun! And the music back then was actually enjoyable :D
@@libbyiscreepin ❤ True!
I’m close to your parents age, the 70’s were awesome years, not as innocent as the commercials depict but people seemed more friendly and kinder back then.
The commercials actually told you what the product was and what it did.
Seems pretty intuitive. I never know what brand of car they're pushing on me now.
Our way of life has become sham wowed
They also made a lot of false hopes of the products.
Bastard Cornflakes: You mean like the bolgna and hot dog commercials tellin us how they use "cuts of quality meat with no filler"... yeah real wholesome commercials
The lies were huge though... the McDonald's one about how their fish is even better than other places.... the boloney? Worst thing you can put in your body. hahaha!
What I miss most about these commercials is that I was a kid . Never in my life would I think I'd sitting somewhere watching them again
I agree. I can't believe I'm old
The best part about being young, was being young. I was 10 in 77. I like the ads for TV shows. Gathering around the TV for Happy Days, Six Million Dollar Man. Good times.
Everyone thinks times were best when they were kids. I’m a kid of the 70’s/80’s. I feel like I had it best. I grew up without technology, yet I was young enough to adapt to it. How awesome is it that we are able to watch these old commercials? Thanks to technology! But, even the Millennials will one day reminisce about the good ‘ol days.
Back then the internet was just an idea for most of us. We imagined the future with video screens where we could talk to people around the world instead of just on the phone. Now we do it for reals. We thought we'd be able to punch some things into a computer keyboard and get a bunch of information, and we actually can now. We can learn about almost anything. I thought I was going to be rich and famous in the future. Hasn't quite worked out yet, but maybe. So much has come true.
@@curtis3987 I was 10 in 1967, would love to see some of those.
Took me back to better place and time, back when my folks were still alive!!!
I feel the same way , my parents passed away too. I still have pleasant memories of them . Sometimes , when I'm in Google Newspaper Archives I go to the comic strips and tv section in Southern California newspapers from the 1970s. I think about the times when my parents were alive , we owned our own home and staying outside playing until night. We ate dinner at the table as a family and watched the same movies and tv shows.😢
Same here😢
I was 12 in 1977. I can't believe that I remember every word of these jingles! I have been binge watching 70's sitcoms... those were the care free days I miss so much!
I was 12 too. so many good memories
12 also, in 77... And ditto on remembering the words
I was 12 as well , good time to be a kid.
@@bellablow4287 Vietnam war for America ended in 1973 . I was only 8 years old so barley remember the war. No war until the First Gulf War in 1991. By then i was 26. We were lucky to be one of the generations who grew up with America at peace in the 20th century. The generation between World War 1 and World War 2 knew a 20 year peace but they had the Great Depression to live through followed by a World War. The way i see it is between 1973 and 1991 was the greatest time in the 20th century to grow up. Although the Cold War was in full bloom and we did have the thought of nuclear attack by the Russians in the back of our heads. Drug and alcohol abuse was very high as well.
I was 12 in 1977 too living in the Bronx and we'd go camping in the Catskills on the weekend.
I really love the soft, humble aesthetic of the 70’s. It just seemed like a relatively simple, innocent time.
me too its too bad i was born in nov of 77 i always felt like i was born in the wrong time
FerrariCarr ~
very accurate, for there were special, new advances not available before the 70's & many of the compulsory dollars were not yet demanded, until mid 80's.
the discussion has been explored, lots, so, when the plus & minus is figured in that scenario - the entire 1970 decade was absolutely more simplistic when a comparison is put beside any other..!!
what you said - met with agreement,.!!
"if there was more love in this world -
we'd probably see a lot less dying..!!"
~WarriorPoet~
@Bobby Brady I didn't get that impression of Smokey. I thought s. was just trying to point out that there are 2 sides to every coin
@Smokey Bear well true but the media had a more innocent approach .
@Bobby Brady why would u want to be american. There other countries out there
I can't believe how many of these that I still remember 40 years later.
No kidding
they ran into the 80's as well, many of these weren't just one-time airs.
You look like Reveen.
That's because they did their job that is why we can still remember these 40 plus years later..
I was 11 years old in 1977, and I remember all of these with such fondness..
😂👍👍👍 Same
I love watching these old commercials! Thanks for this!
I was 14 years old in 1977 and remember all this. It was a much-less rushed time, the girls smiled at you and the entertainment and food were better. Even the commercials were timed to the same pace as whatever TV show you happened to be watching. This was also the year (1977) that the original Star Wars film first premiered and American television rediscovered science fiction, which would extend far into the 1980s and beyond.
I like the Triscuit commercial jingle
amen sista. i got my drivers license in april 6th. 1977..
I try not to but ever once in a while I can't help it
What I miss most about commercials is how quiet they were (as seen in many in this video). Today's TV and commercials are loud and obnoxious.

I was 12 in 1977 and I loved Three's Company.
Back when everyone knew it was ok to mock homosexuals.
I loved that show!
Something is so comforting and cozy about old commercials..... maybe that’s why we keep rewatching them? 😉🌷
Was 7 years old when these came out and I remember 95% of them, even sang along with the jingles.
Yeah you were.
How I wish I could go back to this time. A simple time.
Kathy me too
I don't know where you are from but this was not a simple time at all where I came from. Factories were shutting down that had existed for decades, most of my friends mothers and fathers were affected by this. Unemployment was high, construction was down, the only thing there was to do after high school graduation was to either keep working at the fast food dump, join the Army or waste more of your life by going to the junior college for lack of anything else to do. It was not a simple time my dear.
TheChuck624 If you were living in Texas during the 70s and 80s, yes it was a great time. If you were living in California during those times, not so great. I got to experience both places during those times.
TheChuck624
Yeah but I think they might have been referring to something like one feeling younger not to mention the people that were alive...etc...just sayin
I wish I could go back too. I grew up in Southern California in the 70s and 80s and it was wonderful!! The happiest years of my life!
Whoever uploaded this...thank you so much!
I think it was Billy.
How I miss those halcyon days of being a kid in the 1970s! Hangin'' my transistor radio from the handlebars of my Huffy bike and ridin' around the subdivision listenin' to Andy Gibb "I Just Want To Be Your Everything" or Foreigner "Feels Like the First Time" to name a couple. Because that's what we did as kids in the 70s--WE WENT OUTSIDE. No damn video games or cell phones, drinkin' real Coca-Cola out of an 8oz glass bottle, riding around in the back of a pick up truck w/o the SWAT Team or Protective Services being called out, no school shootings, and NO DAMN CAMERAS WATCHIN' OUR EVERY MOVE! I'm sorry for being so dogmatic, but ya'll who grew up in the 1970s know exactly what I'm saying.
Im with you brother....I hate these horrible times....
All these posted sentiments reflect my thinking exactly, how nostalgic we all are for the better times of yesteryears. Things were more fundamentally sound, and living was consequently more enjoyable.
I hear you Ridgerunner. I was there too and miss those halcyon days in the 1970s as a kid and it made us Generation Xers into who we are today. We will set things straight as the new incoming establishment as the baby boomer-hell and decline they ushered into the world is on the way out with them.

I'm 53 now and watching these I ended up remembering most of these only midway through many of them. Some of them came back immediately. Talk about a blast from the past. I sat watching these not realizing how long I'd been sitting here.
Same here. I remember watching that 6 million dollar man too
Commercials back than concentrated on the product, now it's what commercial is funniest. You don't even know what there advertising today
+Gary Miller Not only that look at all the claims the food companies made back then. Like Oscar Mayer and McDonalds,you never hear those words uttered anymore...
+Gary Miller Sure, they concentrated on the product...and grossly exaggerated what that product was and, when it came to food, outright lied about how good their product was for you.
Give me funny ads any day. At least they're not chock full of bull.
commercials need to go back to focus on what they are selling not being funny
The closest thing to a time machine. Thank You !..lol
agreed
John Canter yep funny how all those memories just flood back the mind is one awesome tool!! Was 13 in 77 I just love these kind of videos!!
I was 5 and totally remember that kid singing that bologna song. This was the first time I'd seen it since back then!
Totally agree!
An old car magazine is pretty good, too.
That Oscar Meyer kid absolutely melts my heart.
I was so excited when the 1980s got here. I was 14 years old at the time. I never thought today, I'd be wishing the 1970s were still here? The '70s are gone forever, but you can believe I'll never forget them!
Agreed. The only thing that survived from the 70s is Star Wars.
How csn you remember the 70s if u were only 4
I was 12 years old in 1977.Thanks for these wonderful memories.
I loved to watch the Hardy boys and Nancy Drew mysterious......
Connie Pine , I loved the Hardy Boys& Nancy Drew also& forgot about them! Nice to have the reminder of the memories 😆 wishing you love&light 💚
Tammy C. Light Within
Thank you
I was 8 and I used to watch them...good times...
me too. I was 12. what great memories
I was only 7, but I had a HUGE crush on Shawn Cassidy.
I was born in 1980 but I love watching commercials before my time, they can definitely take you to a different place in time.
The Lil Boy Fishin and singin has got to be one of the most classic tv ads ever. I'm 57 and still hear it in my head when I am shopping for lunch meat!!! Yay
Made me sad to see Ken Berry. We just lost him. He was in so many movies and tv shows - a real talent.
Who dat?
I thought that was him!!
Commercials nowadays suck because people have lost their sense of humor and get butt hurt over every little thing. This video made me realize how much i miss the 70's and 80's.
Well that's because certain things actually ARE offensive, but everything else is just meh.
same with the UK adverts also..
Commercials now just suck. Period.
Bang on....me too
Like the recent conflict over Hallmark having a gay couple in their commercials. Like get the fuck over it.
These commercials are more talented, more informative, more creative, more entertaining, and more ORIGINAL than most commercials of today..
Back then the food wasn't as fake, so they didn't mind giving you info on what's in it. Now they don't want to give you no info or tell you
she45namify true...
saintquinn007 I agree, I can remember back in the 70's when blacks and whites were ''equal'' in all tv commercials...neither one was too intelligent nor too stupid..
+saintquinn007 you stupid shit
Mehhhhhh, you're just old. If these formats were as effective as their contemporary counterparts they'd still be around. Advertising changes with the times and culture. Good or bad.
The ABC announcer's voice is enough to take me back.
I remember everyone of these commercials growing up as a teenager..The 70s was the best ...
Isn't it ironic how we can sit thru almost 29 minutes of commercials that ran from the mid 70s to early 80s and actually enjoy them because they are so entertaining yet commercials made afterwards, we couldn't stand and current ones, even anger us. What a reflection on us all.
Back then during commercials, you maybe had enough time to go to the bathroom before the show was back on. Today you forget what you were watching before the show comes back on. Used to be they showed commercials to supplement the show, now the commercials are the show and whatever show you are watching is the filler.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Boy your not kidding.
Watch a lot of dr phil and ellen dr oz and his dairy queen commercials between 1 minute segments.
Not to mention all the electromagnetic radiation messing with our brains.
The real irony there is we are all here watching a video of nothing but commercials with no filler
I really miss these times; I was just a kid in junior high but life back in the late 60s and 70s brought so much more joy than it does today. Miss the commercials, music and all the wonderful memories!
Thank you so much for posting these. I think what's in these commercials that is absent in today's commercials is dignity and maturity. Even the silly ones project more refinement than today's commercials. Thanks again.
A better time, a better world.
My mother used to serve powdered milk to my sister and me. We cried. Seriously we did. It was awful. Damn you Vicki Lawrence, telling your lies straight from the pit of hell. 15:00
andan04 my mom made it too, mixed it with whole milk, was seriously discussing. my friends would come over and gag at a glass of milk. my mom gave them whole milk, cause they weren't used to it.
I feel your pain, brother. I once drank some powdered milk. Could of sworn it had the same consistency as milk...of MAGNESIA.
andan04 I cried too
andan04
And she can't even pronounce milk correctly. I remember that from when this first aired and I was a little kid. She pronounces it "miwk". Odd they would get a spokesperson who can't even pronounce the product.
I love the cracking sound in the background of the clips.
I had started my junior year of high school during the Fall of 1977. I remember these ads, and they make me think about being in my teens and watching all the TV shows I had watched, and the good times at home. I am glad I was a teen then. If only advertisers had known they were creating memories for future adults!!
Me too !
Thank you for posting, I love it. I was born in '69, this is my childhood all over again. Thumbs up! :)
Good Lord.
Tv has changed so much.
This is actually entertaining to watch old commercials.
Will people be saying that about todays commercials 40 yrs from now??
I surely doubt it !!!!!
no
Nah today's commercials are too loud and colorful
They'll say why were they pushing so many dangerous pills on people were people very sick back then????? And it makes me wonder
This just depresses me and makes me wanna go back in time to a slower pace of life.
Very happy to have been born in 1977. What a child hood! ❤️
I know how you feel same here 1977 👍
@@chermainebigby5238
I especially appreciate it these days. I’m glad we grew up when we did. 😎
@@jennyfurr you can definitely say that again
The thing I miss the most about this time in life is human contact. You actually had to actually smile and stick out your hand to meet someone.
And we actually made friends easily and hung out together just to talk
How funny. As a kid in 1977 I would buzz out of the living room as soon as the commercial break started. As an adult in 2015 I'm sitting here watching those
commercials on RUclips. :) Thanks for the video!
I can't believe how crystal clear these commercials are!They look better now then when I watched them at 9 years old in 1977!
"Let's get Mikey", "my baloney has a first name", LMAO old but good memories
Those 2 were my favorite ones!
Boy o boy, what a nice trip back down memory lane...thank you for posting this!
Man am I getting old. Everything I saw there I remember first-hand.
YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL, same here!
I remember these from childhood. Thank you.
Good times. Happy memories.
This makes me want to start building a time machine .
Nice to see that every man isn't an idiot, and every women isn't an eye-rolling shrew.
Today's commercials are DISGUSTING.
DaddyMarissa x
they're so bad these days, I do anything to avoid them. I used to like watching the commercials back then though and seeing these, many times I'm reminded how many celebs wre in these before they were famous
It's true. Today's commercials and tv programs are all toilet humor. Truly awful.
So so true....throw in 99.99% of network shows as well.
I have been hitting my mute button on every commercial for years now.
I remember "8 is Enough". Really liked that show. tried to watch it every week.
Nowadays that house would cost $2M and everyone in the family would have three jobs and no health insurance.
join the conversation - yes, same.
About 1985 I joked with a friend I'd like to have a big family like 8 Enough ... she got angry and called me 'evil' .
I loved this commercial in the 70’s-we used to go around the projects singing this song-especially when eating an Oscar Mayer bologna sandwich!!!
To this day I hum the golden graham song every time I eat that cereal - marketing genius 🙏🏼
Me too....lol
Um, when I was eight years old I thought Nancy Drew was totally hot.
Now that I'm 47, I think that Nancy Drew was totally hot.
greg55666 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
lol.I only watched the hardy boys cause I thought they were hot.I was 13/14.
It was the 70s. All they did was have sex back then. She probably banged her boyfriend before and after filming every day. No such thing as AIDS back then and their older siblings, the hippies, destroyed all morals. At least I think that's how it worked back then. I might be wrong.
All my life I never liked commercials I'm 44 but now I really like watching classics
I was 7 years old in ‘77 and I miss the simplistic times of the 70’s and 80’s I wish I can go back
I still have 2 of those Nescafe coffee glasses, btw.
Saaaame
Me too. My grandma had em.
My sister sent away for hers for labels off the coffee jar.
Those look awesome :-)
I loved those when I was little. Now I'm all grown up and know that Nestle is the worst.
$50.00 in 1977 had the same buying power as $211.79 in 2018
Annual inflation over this period was about 3.58%
Your point being...?
That Philco t.v. set was hella expensive!
anyone else notice that the Oscar myar bacon package hasn't changed at all
I was literally just going to make that comment, but you beat me to it! I wonder if the product is better, worse, or completely different almost 40 years later? My parents never bought Bologna, and as I recall, bought the store brand bacon (Stop and Shop) that was cheaper and wasn't bad at all..
libertarian objectivist the Kentucky fried chicken meal is exactly the same too!! even after almost 40 years- chicken, mashed & gravy and coleslaw!!
You forgot they replaced those boring bread rolls with delectable buttermilk biscuits.
Luis Reyes I never ate the bread that came with it so I didn't know that- BIG CHANGE!!!!😜 I stand corrected sir.
***** They also had BBQ ribs for a short time in the 70s. I don't remember them, but every time I bring my mom to KFC she ask if they put the ribs back on the menu. And only 1 manager remembers them, the kids working always look at her like she's nuts. I think they took them off the menu because they were $$. Which is kind of ironic because if you need to get KFC for a crowd today it is expensive. And the fact that they use the smallest chickens known to man doesn't help. I always joke that you never see pigeons outside the KFC for a reason.
I was 10 in 1977 I remember 98% of these commercials.
I rather be a teenager/young adult in the 70s than this generation
I was 17 going on 18 in '77 and would not trade places with kids today for the world.
i mean im black so my life wouldn’t be the best in the 70s,,,
@@nat-oi2fh It really wouldn't be that bad, especially living in a big city
Bobby Brady Seeing as how black people are very much discriminated against in america in 2019, i would hate to imagine how my family would be treated in the 70s. Would I get the education that I deserved? Would I be able to get a job that I deserved over someone of a different race? If you think racism hasn’t been a problem since the 60s you are ignorant and entitled. Every race can be racist, and you sound racist currently so please calm down. Bobby you can’t speak for what you have not gone through, thank you have a good morning evening or night.
Bobby Brady How about stop generalizing all black people? As well as stop this stereotype that all black people are aggressive lazy bums who do not try to better society. I never said most white americans are racist because that is obviously not true. I said that black people are discriminated against in America which is true. This goes for any other minority. Must be really sad to be so close minded to what goes on in your own country
This video really bolsters the idea of using music or little jingles to help remember things. It was easy to pull those musical tunes out of the archives of memory from 30-40 years back.
Some people might find them annoying, but it's a shame that fun, catchy jingles are so rare these days... Most commercials in the 2010's just have corny hipster music with whistling and soft acoustics playing in the background, like those BP Invigorate commercials.
Like it was yesterday...those were some GREAT times!!
I was 10 years old in 1977. This was a great time. :)
I was 14 and met my 1st "puppy love". So much fun with my friends & cousins in those days in a world that seemed more safer and free.
Were you 10 for the entire year? Like, born at 12 a.m. on January 1?
Remember the Jackson Five and Slinky?
I had just got my novice license. Had to wait 6 months as a friend and I got snapped by the FCC for out of band operations. Them old CB day's that became a fulcrum to ham radio. What I remember most is that living in Vegas we didn't hear of any of the issues that society faces today. I'm waiting for a 56 mile wide rock from space to solve mankind's problems. (MAN) Or now living here in Montana I'll settle for Yellowstone popping its cork.

Just because you was not born on January 1st at 12:00 a.m . . Doesn't change the fact that he turned 10 in the year 1977 . . . And who gives a happy shit if he was 10 for the whole year . . . He was 10 before the year 1977 was over and that's what counts . . . Do you seriously have shit for brains . . . Get a life . 🖕🖕🖕
Sure is good going down memory lane ❤✌
Ahhhh, 1977. The year of Star Wars. Great memories, great quality commercials!
All of the ads seem to have musical elements to them. Lol. Love them.
Riachi you just want that #1 meat from Oscar Mayer
Welcome to the 1970's folks the golden age of television.
No that's when television started getting real stupid. Threes company? Love boat? Welcome back Kotter. Really dumb
I FINALLY got Nescafé glass world mugs! I found them in a thrift store for $2 each. I had wanted them for well over 30 years. 👍 They are very heavy. Compare the heaviness of that glass and other glass, such as Pyrex, of that era, vs. the CHEAP, THIN glass of today's products. We were blessed to live in a time of better quality.
They sell them on Amazon. www.amazon.com/Nestle-World-Mug-Cup-Cardboard/dp/B0084HDLHK
They just didn't have the technology to make thinner, lighter, more comfortable glass back then. I prefer today's glasses.
I remember being a kid and listening to the other kid singing the Oscar Mayer bologna song. To this day, I have to sing the song for me to spell the name Oscar Mayer Bologna.
Joseph Christina .. hahaha..cute
Me too
Man!!! I was surprised that I remembered all the words! LOL!!!! Great memories!
I have to spell it out too just like the kid did. I also learned how to spell encyclopedia (Mickey Mouse Club) and Massachusetts from Captain Kangaroo. I have to sing the entire songs with them to spell them. You want kids to spell, put it in a song, spellcheck not needed. Don't get me started on School House Rock!
at some point, a company will appreciate the ironic perspective of running one of their original 1970s commercials, and I'm betting their sales will skyrocket.
These commercials bring back so many wonderful memories. I grew up in the 70's and life was soooooo different back then. "sigh"
Ahhh....a time before the DVR...when we had no choice but to watch these things.
And only three channels to watch.
So . . Who cares .
It's so ironic how much I couldn't wait for these commercials to end, and now I can't stop watching them
I wasn't even born yet, but it's interesting to watch commercials before I was even alive.
I love how some of commercials back then put on big musical numbers like the Kinney shoe commercial...singing and choreography always on point...lol.
Thank you for sharing! I remember every single one of these commercials growing up.. I loved them.. They had substance. Those were the good ole days. I really miss them.
I was a pre-schooler back in 1977, but in a weird way I feel like I "know" some of these commercials like deep memories. Thank you for posting!!! It's sad how commercials are now.
I was 3yo and I feel the same. These songs and sounds are imbedded somewhere in my brain and hearing these commercials is very nostalgic.
Me too! Except I was born the end of 77.
"Sometimes you feel like a nut...Almond Joy has nuts, Mounds don't!" I so remember this ad! good times...
I wanna go back to that time.
Where I belong :'(
its weird cuz when i watch tv i fast forward the commercials but then i come to youtube and watch 30 minute long videos of commercials lol. but love these things thanks for posting em 👍
I was 5 years old in 1977 and I remember these ads better then I remember two days ago. The world seemed so much better.
Your right, no responsibilities when your a child. The world is new and your too innocent to see the bad. The seventies had its share of problems. Culture wars just like today. The TV shows were so much better though. No political correctness, people weren't offended of everything. I do feel like the country is in a worse place . We are way more polarized.
Like me you need a time machine!
I was also five in 1977, these commercials bring you right back to your childhood!
One thing I do appreciate is that many of the families and people in these commercials aren't nearly as manufactured, processed and vapid as so many individuals in today's commercials
You mean the woman of the house who'se a genius at everything, the simpleton buffoon white man who can't do anything right, and their children who obviously aren't his? Or all the christmas adverts where it's a white woman with blakc/muslim man and black children?
I feel like explaining a "long distance call" to my kids, was probably just as boring as my grandfather telling me about "the great depression"... I officially feel a wee bit old, and I am only in my early 40's.
That made me LOL. "Come here and sit on my lap sonny, I want to tell you about a little thing called the 'home phone'."
1977 was 42 years ago. 1977 minus 42 was holy crap! 1935! Just think about that for a sec...
How about explaining something called the Bell System? The companies at the end of the ad are now Verizon, Frontier, Century Link, and AT&T. And Cincinnati Bell. Today's kids know Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile.
@@gregsells8549 When I was a kid, it was AT&T, Sprint and MCI. Wow, that wasn’t that long ago.
@@toucansam3 Those were long distance companies, battling it out over price. Now long distance comes bundled with local or cell service, and home phones are bundled with TV and internet (Charter Spectrum, Comcast Xfinity, Cox. etc.)
I remember all of these commercials. What a great time to grow up
Not one of these ads guilts you into buying something. You're not made to feel inadequate if you don't buy the stuff they're selling. No insults are thrown. No one is made to look particularly stupid. Nothing about your failing health and how you need to buy a big pharma product (despite side effects that make you grow fangs when the moon is full). Maybe I've gotten old but for some reason it seems that the people who wrote these ads have a bit more respect for the demographic they're addressing.
Right on.
arkady714 People were more easily convinced to buy products back then and did not ask as many questions about what was marketed to them. Today's consumers are more savvy (and can check reviews online) so companies market more aggressively.
SweetZombiJesus This might sound a bit cynical, but it almost seems that you're saying that, since the times of these ads, the consumer has built up a sort of resistance that advertisers have had to combat.
arkady714 That is basically what I am saying. I still think most people are duped by advertising today, but not as many as there used to be. More and more people do some research before making their purchases, so some companies try to use fear or guilt to try to cause people to make an impulsive decision. It sill works very well, but less and less every year, I think.
Pft, they were particularly bad in the late 90s-early 00s when cocaine celeb teens and stupid MTV shows were all the rage, remember? It was the beginning of social media and shit was a blur for many for a while as opioids in pill form flooded the world and the zombie apocalypse began. "Eeeeeeckkk".
Just watchin 10 mins of this, I felt like I was 11 yrs old again. Especially hearing that guys voice from those ABC commercials. Man, that was a long time ago.
Those Tickle commercials were far more suggestive than I remember
I remember Tickle underarm deodorant ..Just watching these old T.V commercials makes me want to crawl through the screen, and to spend some time back in 1977 when life was so much easier..
So why did you wear tickle
I wore Ban
That was a creepy commercial
@@neilgibbons2532 Because it was the new best thing, or so they said in their advertisements..
@@lynnpayne9519 Yes, I wore Ban also but my all time fav which I still wear today is Secret..You cannot beat it,and believe me I have tried with many different products throughout the years..
Just crank, crank, crank and in minutes you get bright, colorful instant pictures...lol
I think 1977 may just be the greatest year ever.
For me, as a 70's kid, 1977 was Star Wars, Smokey and the Bandit, The Spy Who Loved Me, Marvel Comics (including the Spider-Man TV show), The Ramones, KISS, Happy Days, the best toys (Matchbox/Hot Wheels, Fonzie Pinball) and street hockey. The best year to be a kid.
I think I'd have to agree with you :)
AgnosticProle I totally agree I was 9 yrs old
Generally speaking, ISTM that the only people who normally think that are *Star Wars* fans and punk fans. But it was better than people give it credit for--I remember people (like me, of course) being disappointed because it wasn't still the '60s, or even the early '70s. They had no idea what was in store, much less that they'd wind up helping it along... :-( It's like what Yes and ELP and Zeppelin were doing around that time--great stuff, but not QUITE as great as before, and when that happens it can leave an odd taste in your mouth, especially if it looks like a trend.
Shirley'sBoy4ever o think 2016 was the best ever
I was seven years old and I remember almost all of these commercials. Thank you for sharing.
