@Brian Allen Alright, alright, stereotyping. But you can't exactly call stereotypes "usually accurate", since in much of the cases it was used alongside pretty racist descriptions and jokes. It is usually used to ridicule and make fun of its subjects, in varying degrees. That being said, I don't take the Jell-o commercial too seriously. It's not really offensive in my opinion. I much rather prefer this to "PCifying" it like what seems to be the trend nowadays..
@@kimeojin1234 lemme officially resolve this some white folks that were racist wanted them to be in the country and that’s it no other race but white folks and that’s why the commercial may be racist.
Speaking of Tootsie-Rolls, I can still recall the comercial I watched when I was a litle kid, back in the early '60s: a cartoon of a wise owl holding a Tootsie-Roll pop: "How many licks," Mr Owl said, "does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie-Roll pop? Let's find out." He took one lick and said: "One." He took another lick and said: "Two." He took one more lick and said: "Three." (Mr Owl suddenly crunched down it.) "Three," he said again. Voice of a narrator: "How many licks does it REALLY take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll pop? The world may NEVER know."
That Tootsie Pop commercial you mentioned was originally from the 1960s. Every so often someone else redoes the animation, but they always use the original audio track. They've done it at least three times since the original premiered.
It's called the Time Machine Effect. As we are exposed to any kind of media from the past several decades, our brains pick up certain cues that let us know how life was in that time in comparison to us in the present. The same can also be said from any Elder's tale that starts with, "Back in my day..."
@@thepeternetwork Never heard of it however it certainly makes sense. I am able to key on endless commercials and jingles heard many years ago. For instance "Mother please! I'd rather do it myself."
E.S.L Check out a yearbook from back then. Almost every student aged 16-18 looks more like 25-30. I think it mostly has to do with the fact there were not as many preservatives in food back in the day; so people just simply aged faster.
Kids in school looked older and more mature up until the mid 2000's... I just seen the high school kids coming back from school these days and they all looked like freshmen in middle school
My parents had that RCA air conditioner. It was bought six YEARS before I was born. It was still in use until I was in HIGH SCHOOL! (1977) Good luck with THAT now! (Of course, it cost as much as a good used car when it was new..But still. it LASTED!).
Who the hell ever smoked BelAir or Raleigh cigarettes? And remember that menthol brand called Montclair? Lung cancer? The truth is most smokers don’t die from it, it’s usually heart attacks or stroke.

I love the 50s, but I finally realized why; all the simple, wholesomeness of the time was done on purpose. Trauma from the war and having grown up during the Great Depression, adults just wanted the safe, warm home they felt they never had, and it reflects in everything, even the commercials.
Now people have gotten too comfortable and want to create new drama. Like forcing you to use pronouns that aren't accurate. And making fifty sequels of the same film. I wasnt alive then but at least they made it LOOK like there was peace. I cry all the time.

When I was in the fifth grade our class made cookie cans with a coffee can, we used newspaper strips dipped in all purpose flour. We put the wet newspaper strips on the cans and the next day after they were dry, we painted the cans to look like animals and we took them home. We put cookies into the cans. You put the plastic lid on the can to keep your cookies fresh.

@@Shoppy08 That would be a example which reflects a particular generation or a time they/we live in. What's acceptable or not depends on who, where and when you live. In the future things we hold as values or our views may appear odd, antiquated or obsolete. Hopefully common courtesy, mutual respect and free thought will survive.
I was thinking the same thing. I wish that they would bring back the 1950s prices with our current wages, shit, we'd all be living high on the hog even with a minimum wage job.
Actually in today’s time according to uS Inflations calculator, 9 cents would equal 96 cents as 2019. But since company’s are greedy asf now. They over price shit
I wasn't born til the late 90's, but I'm sure the commercials were long because back in the 50's they aired only one or two commercials per break. And btw, today there are still some long commercials, like the dreadful medicine ones that can go up to two minutes.
I turned 60 this year and i really get a big kick out of the old school tv ads. I am so grateful to the channels that post these. It brings back memories of the beautiful life I had growing up.
I am sincerely glad you had a beautiful life growing up in the 60s and 70s. Just remember, not everyone did. Women, people of color, Asians, and others. I remember too,I was there. 64 years old.

Anything from the 50s to the 70s gives me memories of that, as well as seeing the "good life" from afar, not for me.

I love how imaginative and cool those commercials were. Especially the Mr Clean one was almost like a 70s or 80s commercial. I really enjoy these. And it really showcases the quality of the product and makes you want to buy it
My Grandmother would cook everything in and on a wood stove circa 1954. I remember coming into her house after my brother and I would pelt each other with snow balls. Soaking wet we would curl up next to that stove to warm up. Grandma would fix us a large cup of hot chocolate with small marshmallows. We would drink the hot beverage while smelling the fresh baked bread loveing cooking in that old stove. I know what heaven is like I've been there.
They weren’t woke either. You can actually know what was being advertised. See Michael Knowles RUclips channel. He plays a game to see if he can guess what some commercials are actually advertising.

Smoking was so socially acceptable then. And the tobacco industry knew it was addictive and caused sickness. But they put profit over people's health. My own grandmother chewed snuff like a man, spitting it out in a cup. And that was acceptable. That was in the "60's from what I remember.
i think this is when the commercials were like a minute and a half long and the rest was the tv show. Leave it to Beaver was about 27 minutes long. Now a days there's like 12 minutes of ads that mean nothing to me, trying to sell medicine and all kinds of products that I'll never buy as long as I live. Very difficult and frustrating to watch live Television today.
I costs abit but that's why I have Xfinity 1, not all times but most times you can ZIP through the stupid ads. If you can't then another trick works alot of times where you turn on the program then hit pause & just chill for ten mins or so, then press play, show comes on & you zip through the ads....if it catches up you just do the same thing all over again. If it states can't fast forward then most times I won't watch that show if if do I just turn off the sound so I don't have to listen to the ads, showing you the same crap you can't afford or the med ads that are designed to kill people then latter you see "If you took this crap & it caused this, this, this injury or a loved one DIED call lawyer dumdum, we'll get you the money blah, blah, blah." Netflix is $10. A month AD FREE.
totally agree. Optimum which is my cable service, you can pause and rewind, and pause and take a shower or something, come back and hit play, FF through the ads, especially the ads for the medicines that say it'll cure my stuffy and runny nose, but it'll case severe nausea and vomiting, severe headaches, possibly go into severe and possibly deadly convulsions..... but my nose will clear up. but the fact still remains that the actual TV show was still around 27 minutes long, and it was quality TV to boot! Ok..here's what really urks me to bits and pieces. The advertisers pay the networks X amount of dollars and the networks will gladly run them. This has nothing to do with you or I. We the customer are absolutely at the bottom of the totem pole, My interest, your interest, your neighbor's interest does not matter one ioda to the networks. We are invisible to them. It a business. And it stinks.
It's positively horrible Jessie. What convinces me that we, the customer are not important to the cable companies at all. Not in the least bit. The ad agencies are paying our cable companies huge sums of money to advertise on their channels. That's what keeps the cable companies in business. As for the customer? We are unequivocally at the bottom of their totem pole and for all intensive purposes, we do not exist. In fact, we probably just get in the cable company's way.
Spaldeen - a new release on Amazon by an author I’ve been following for a couple of years. My dad used to tell me about the little ball he played stickball with in the Brooklyn neighborhood where he grew up. …A novel approach to storytelling, but I enjoyed it and flipped my copy to my dad. I think he’ll like it.
Colleen , back then God was spelled with a capital g. After Korean war, Americans were not worried about offending Chinese. Coke had cane sugar in it, Boys played with toy guns. Almost all families had a mom and dad, no one heard of child care, And you could actually pay your bills and save a few bucks on dads salary, oh and coins were made of real silver.
Good grief, I think you guys are missing the point of Colleen’s comment. I believe she is referring to the fact of how fast time has passed. Why the nastiness? I got you, girl.

He took one lick and said: "One." He took another lick and said: "Two." He took one more
lick and said: "Three." (Mr Owl suddenly crunched down it.) "Three," he said again.

What an awesome way to look back at what I would had missed if I lived back in the 50s but I was only born in 1963 thank you for this.
When ever I see old commercials from the 50s, I think: these people are dead.
Me too. They have all achieved room temperature. And they will be much more comfortable with their RCA air conditioner!
Except the kids they 70 assuming they were 10 if they were born exactly in the fifties then they are 60

Nine cents for shampoo?!! Man, times have changed!
DJDoubleCee prices were different back then remember
I was thinking the same thing. I wish that they would bring back the 1950s prices with our current wages, shit, we'd all be living high on the hog even with a minimum wage job.
9 cents for shampoo today that would cost almost 20 dollars unless it was sold at the dollar tree .
The only thing free nowadays is fortnite.
Reality is often disappointing
Actually in today’s time according to uS Inflations calculator, 9 cents would equal 96 cents as 2019. But since company’s are greedy asf now. They over price shit
In the 2090s people will made compilations of ads from the 2020s

I wasn't born til the late 90's, but I'm sure the commercials were long because back in the 50's they aired only one or two commercials per break. And btw, today there are still some long commercials, like the dreadful medicine ones that can go up to two minutes.

@@elc1960 Yeah because single handle faucets like that were not available yet.

I remember the smell of my grandmothers house when she would use her percolating coffee maker it smelled so good in her house. I love the smell of it!
My Grandmother would cook everything in and on a wood stove circa 1954. I remember coming into her house after my brother and I would pelt each other with snow balls. Soaking wet we would curl up next to that stove to warm up. Grandma would fix us a large cup of hot chocolate with small marshmallows. We would drink the hot beverage while smelling the fresh baked bread loveing cooking in that old stove. I know what heaven is like I've been there.
Yep. I remember my grandmother percolating the 8 o'clock coffee from A.and P

reving19 Always remember time is short. We must repent of our sins (sin is transgression of The Turah) and believe on The Master Yahusha. We must believe on Yahusha. In Hebrew, the word "believe" means to "trust and obey" so we must trust and obey Yahusha
Faith saves you. TRUE faith will produce obedience. If we have genuine faith, we will obey YAHUAH’S Law (Turah). We will repent when we stumble into sin (sin is transgression of The Turah) and trust in The Master Yahusha.

i think this is when the commercials were like a minute and a half long and the rest was the tv show. Leave it to Beaver was about 27 minutes long. Now a days there's like 12 minutes of ads that mean nothing to me, trying to sell medicine and all kinds of products that I'll never buy as long as I live. Very difficult and frustrating to watch live Television today.
I costs abit but that's why I have Xfinity 1, not all times but most times you can ZIP through the stupid ads. If you can't then another trick works alot of times where you turn on the program then hit pause & just chill for ten mins or so, then press play, show comes on & you zip through the ads....if it catches up you just do the same thing all over again.
If it states can't fast forward then most times I won't watch that show if if do I just turn off the sound so I don't have to listen to the ads, showing you the same crap you can't afford or the med ads that are designed to kill people then latter you see "If you took this crap & it caused this, this, this injury or a loved one DIED call lawyer dumdum, we'll get you the money blah, blah, blah."
Netflix is $10. A month AD FREE.
totally agree. Optimum which is my cable service, you can pause and rewind, and pause and take a shower or something, come back and hit play, FF through the ads, especially the ads for the medicines that say it'll cure my stuffy and runny nose, but it'll case severe nausea and vomiting, severe headaches, possibly go into severe and possibly deadly convulsions..... but my nose will clear up.
but the fact still remains that the actual TV show was still around 27 minutes long, and it was quality TV to boot! Ok..here's what really urks me to bits and pieces. The advertisers pay the networks X amount of dollars and the networks will gladly run them. This has nothing to do with you or I. We the customer are absolutely at the bottom of the totem pole, My interest, your interest, your neighbor's interest does not matter one ioda to the networks. We are invisible to them. It a business. And it stinks.
Also, I do have Netflix. It kind of feels like to me, sort of pseudo TV. Yes, the they have TV that's familiar, but still... lol pseudo.
It's positively horrible Jessie. What convinces me that we, the customer are not important to the cable companies at all. Not in the least bit. The ad agencies are paying our cable companies huge sums of money to advertise on their channels. That's what keeps the cable companies in business.
As for the customer? We are unequivocally at the bottom of their totem pole and for all intensive purposes, we do not exist. In fact, we probably just get in the cable company's way.
