Okay how many of you remember playing pong on your Atari
Yep!
I do!
I do!
Even better, how many of you still own said Atari? We do! It's awesome
Intelevision?
It was a fantastic time to be young!
I was a teen in the 70s... A fantastic time on Earth to be young!
Now I'm a grumpy old man. But I have my memories...
Born in the early 70s, but really an 80s kid. I do remember a lot of these, though.
Class of 1980. It was the BEST time to be young1
I watched Steve Martin on SNL doing the King Tut when I was a little kid, so funny! Good times!
remember that
I do, remember that! And Two wild and Crazy Guy's !
He was a classic. Multi talented.
I miss the 70's. I loved T-top cars. It was also when cars had character.
Remember Clackers? Two glass or hard plastic balls attached with a string. Mine were purple. You could do some serious damage with those things!
Tell me about it. LOL 😅
I remember yes they were very hard !Also the ball on a plastic cord with the loop around your ankle u would spin it around and jump over it
...the acrylic ones sent shards of awesomely dangerous acrylic directly to the eyes. Every kid was an incidental stunt man/woman in the 70s.
Mine were purple w/silver flakes inside the ball.😂
Still have the Yellow glass type,also have a "Battling Top" and other toys like Hot Wheels...
I actually believe it was better not having a cell phone !
As you all know, before cell phones, you either had your friends number memorized or you had an address book with names, addresses and phone numbers listed.
Yes! I’d happily go back to a wall phone. Cell phones are convenient but cause so many problems, distracted driving, social media issues, anxiety for some if they don’t always have their phone.
One of the stock comic scenes from movies and TV shows back then was the guy who needs to place an urgent call, and at first can't find a pay phone, then when he does, it's vandalized, and when he finds one that works, he doesn't have the right change. Most kids today would wonder what's so funny.
Ahhh the 70’s!!! When life was a simpler time….
Free concerts, a time when people had compassion and common sense, food was real, so were farms, water wasn't contaminated, Gosh no one made up disasters and propaganda was just a learning tool for the baaa
But had a righteous times.
A safer time where people had manners and less violent. I like the 70s.
I loved the 70s, my teen years. A simple innocent time or it seemed like that to me.
YES! ME TOO!
Graduated from High School in 1978, and your right it was an innocent time.
11yr. in 70 n 21yr in 80,Damm dad really nailed it in 58,tks. Mom n dad,R.I.P. DAD
Ditto. It was a great time for me too.
More happy and unique times , I loved the seventies. The music and cars were great .
The cars were slow, but WHO cared? luxury was THE THING. My 1977 Buick Electra Limited was 1400x more lux than ANYTHING I have had since.
One of my first cars was a 1969 Roadrunner with a hemi in it, it was anything but slow! And it handled great at speed...as long as all you wanted to do was go in a strait line.
I grew up in the 70's and wouldn't go back. The 70's did teach me to be skeptical of fads today.
My parents owned a 1969 Ford LTD station wagon that had the wooden panel on the side I love that station wagon it had the seats in the very back so online trips the window could be opened all the way or just part way and you could sit back there and relax the one thing I miss from the 70s are the drive-in theaters I mean you could bring your own food in it was great
I miss the 70's so much. Even the "tacky" stuff. Who didn't love the Cordova with "Corinthian leather" commercials? Such a great time to be a kid and a teen. In many ways I'm still stuck in the 70's,
"With fine corinthian leather" ha ha
I wore neon purple overall hot pants under my cap and gown for my HS Graduation in 1971. Couldn’t wear tube tops. I was a little too well endowed. You might say I was a bit top-heavy.
Cordova commercials with Ricardo montabon -he was "dreamy" to look at , and his accent was sexy as hell!
I remember my sisters having to lay on their backs on the bed in order to squeeze into their Jordache jeans. Designer jeans not only were everywhere in the late 70’s/early 80’s but they also were worn skin tight!
We were glad your sister did. 😉
My sister got Sergio Valente jeans
OMG I loved my Jordache jeans. Also the Rag City Blues with the lace up and zip around jeans. I still have a few pairs, can't believe I used to fit in them. lol Fun times.
My sister would put on a new pair then fill the bathtub with the hottest water she could stand and sit in it to shrink the jeans to her body.
Don't forget Dittos, lol!!
I was 9 in 1970. I remember every single one of these. It was an interesting time to live in.
To the person who invented the "Tube Top" and "Halter Top" should have received a Nobel peace prize....
yeah young guys got to see more boobs with them than without them LOL ... sadly that is also the reason why they aint around much anymore ... it seems they spent more time off than on
Those things looked much better on the average '70s girl than they would on the average '20s girl
1970 baby here. Thanks for the walk down, memory lane. ❤
We were all proud and happy with our country.
Thank you for yet ANOTHER awesome trip down memory lane! ......RE: the cigarette ad telling an overweight lady to reach for a cigarette instead of food. Our Mom was encouraged to smoke during all 4 pregnancies in order to keep her weight down....eeek!
I turned 12 in 70 and 21 in 79!! Mood Rings, Levi's rolled up at the bottoms, Pucca Shells, 8-Tracks for the Car!
And of course, the CB Craze that started in 1976 that lasted until early 1979 "Breaker Breaker! What's your handle?". Platform Shoes...what else?? 1973 Oil Crisis!!😱. DISCO!! Us Rockers were all shouting " Disco Sucks" while secretly, we all loved it! In late 1978, KISS became the first and only band in history where all members released solo albums at the same time while still being unified under the Band Name! Which was your fav? Ace Frehley's was the most popular! Oh yes..and finally_Designer Jeans! They lasted well into the 1980s! Jordache and Sergio Valente were my jeans of choice!!!
Oh, man, did you just take me back... You a '58-er as well? I just turned 65 - where did the time go?
Funny, at the time, I rued not being older, & missing the Woodstock stuff, as my lightly older neighbors had lived. But hey, we had some pretty cool stuff, too. Cheers!
best days of my life.
I still like disco and bell bottoms. Does anyone remember Shields and Yarnell?
Yes i do remember them .i wonder what became of them now days .i miss them .
The seventies was an outrageous decade in clothes, fads, music, movies, tv, and even politics. How I remember it, they'll never be another decade quite like it.
Thank goodness.
@@louniece1650 I second that.
Dang I’d love an old station wagon with fake wood side panels!
I can still remember the Kalvin Klein commercial with Brooke Shields in it saying, 'Nothing comes between me and my Kalvin's'.
Yes, loved the 70’s, was a preteen and teenager then! Remembered everything you had shown in vlog, even wore tube tops.
I owned a 78 Chrysler Cordoba, but I never saw one like the T top. That black one was beautiful, I loved the front grille and the T top looks sweet.
Kitchen doorway Bead Curtain ? These were in every house ...Whoa! I had that Tut poster ! My parents went without us kids :(
I had t-tops on my Firebird Formula 350. They had a slight mirrored tint on the inside. So wish I had that car today!!!
We were required to wear tube socks and converse high tops as part of our basketball uniform for games. The 70’s was a great time to be a kid!
I remember the "stacked" tube sock fad
Yes
Ah yes! The 70's, when a kid could be a kid!
I was a kid in the 70’s .Kids grow up too fast since the 80’s
Kids,no longer have childhoods, so much for technology....
Wasn’t that Showbiz pizza?
Growing up in the south and tube tops and halters were always popular
Same here in California
Yeah I loved halter tops.
Hi from the 🇬🇧 UK
Even in Pittsburgh, Pa. in the summer, I loved my halter tops!
Same in Florida
Saw the King Tut exhibit in Chicago - It was awesome! Waited for hours (or so it seemed) to buy tickets -it was worth it!
Me too. Arrived at the Field Museum before dawn!
1976 was my favorite year, and my new house was built in that year, so it’s always the 70’s for me
The 70's and 80's and 90's were all much better than 2000 - Present.
I loved the tube tops and platforms too. Chic had jeans that were straight leg form fitting then they came out with Candies shoes. I would wear those forever. Thanks for the smiles have a great day
Black velvet paintings. Everyone had them. My dad had a white unicorn on black velvet, looked cool. Elvis was a popular choice after he died in '77.
I like the 70s. Clothes were fun and people had more manners/were gentler and had more common sense. They were more assertive NOT aggressive & as violent as today. I wish they would bring back the "Slouch Socks" of the 80s.
I don't recall ever seeing a Camino w/ the faux wood panelling, but I do remember (& miss) the 2-tone paint jobs (particularly on pick ups) & vivid colours on autos. Everything is so monotone & too much black, white, & shades of grey these days.
And what happened to chrome bumpers and trim?
My dad bought a 73 Dodge two-tone pickup. Yellow and off-white. We called it the Bannan Split.
Down with the boring colors of today's vehicles. The build quality of the cars back then was terrible. They would rust out in two years
I loved it when girls wore tube tops.
Also loved girls wearing halter tops.
The 70'ties must have been the best time to be alive
I wore tube socks for a while, but my heels always ruined them more quickly than regular white socks. I remember all the diet fads, and I remember the designer jeans very well.
I thought tube socks were those socks that did not have a toe or heel, just one seam at the end. A tube. No??
I had taken dexatrim and I had a tub top but, it was on rompers. Really enjoying your 70's fads videos!
In 1970 I was just 4 years old but through the years by time 1980 hit I was 14, so I remember the 70s, It was a simpler time, kids actually went out and played and we came home when the street lights came on. Skateboards, bikes, and balls were are day. There were cassettes and box tv, and records. Those land line phone with the long cord we stay on the phone for hours talking to our friends. It was fun going to outdoor theaters great Disney movies like the shaggy DA, freaky Friday, Escape to witch mountain ,Herbie rides again just a few…. And cars were long and then you had the famous beetle bug car. family ate together every night, and you knew your neighbors, Christmas time was magical the main streets were decorated shops and Christmas music played in every shop and Santa’s on every corner. The only draw back as a child growing up as I look back to me was the fashion hideous era! Other than that can’t tell you many adult things but as a child it was wonderful time.
a girl with a drop handlebar 10 speed and a tube top is a fave memory of growing up in the 70s
When I was a young man, I'd never thought I'd see, people stand in line to see the boy king... THE jeans to have in the 1970's were Sassoon, Guess, and Dittos. At least those were the brands where I lived in California.
I lived in Texas, and they were Chardon, Sergio Valente and Jordache not to mention Calvin Klein.
Remember Brooke Shields and her saying Nothing gets between me and my Calvin's, absolutely nothing.
I have thought that ditto jeans with their saddle seam like back would make a great come back except that today you would need a great big phone pockets which would ruin the lines haha
I love the videos. I was in my teen age hears. You bring back many memories!
I love tube tops
The pyramid power thing has my sides hurting good!
People still had real lives,without devices, how did they manage....
They actually talked to each other.
My oldest daughter was born in 1987, and when she was little, I was telling her how we didn't have microwaves when I was a kid."but mommy, how did you cook?" To this day I still chuckle!
I really miss the 70s, and then the 80s best two decades of my life. In the 60s I was under ten so I did not fully appreciated them
Oh, how I loved my jeans, any way shape form especially my hip huggers. I got the “Bell Bottom Blues”
The 70s were AWESOME! I drank so much Tang!
Bring back the hot pants and tube tops world.
I miss tube tops!
When your designer jeans were worn out (usually at the knees), a simple pair of scissors made cut off jean shorts. Pulling some threads along the cut line made it frilly. Jordache and Sergio Valente were just a couple of many stylish choices back in the day 😁
Yep had to have my Tang. I was born in 1960, and I was very much into, watching the astronauts going to the moon etc. So when I heard they drank Tang I asked my mom to get some. And she did. My uncle was a Lincoln guy. Last one he had was from the late 70s in yellow. I wish they’d bring the tall tube socks back. I also wore the knitted coloured knee socks. We went on a high school field trip to NYC to see the Tut treasures at the Met museum. They were incredible.
So funny to recall these items. I had the pyramid power items and also the biorhythms charts. In college I loved my purple velvet hip hugger pants.
And belly shirts that showed off your belly!
Have a nice day😊
Turned 20 in 1970, just back from a jungle tour and still couldn't get a drink in the World. It did get better but it took a while.
Thank you for your service!❣️🇺🇲
I remember tube tops didn't hold up so well. xD
Ha-ha-ha... Smart alleck! :-D I had two older sisters -- I didn't mind them much at all! ;-)
@@chivalryalive are you from Alabama?
@@timmebruer5205 lmao!!!
I remember wearing tube tops and halters with hip hugger jeans and wide belts!
Oh I remember tube socks, the stripped had to match your short shorts and you wore them with your red or blue Converse sneekers! I also remember the Gloria Vanderbilt and Jordache jeans.
Remember tie socks!
We used to call Jordache jeans, lard ass jeans!😂😂
Born in 1968.I was in my childhood that decade.Wouldnt want to be a kid in any other
Mood rings
The Bangles had a song called “Walk Like An Egyptian “ .
Had a AMC 1976 Jeep CJ7 wrangler with Levi upholstery. Never knew why. All I knew was that jeep was a hit cruising the drag during the hot summer nights.
Oh the 70's :) How about a quick mention of what we were watching on tv or at the cinemas? Or on the radio?
Tube tops, God's female creativity never looked more beautiful in em !❤
It's so funny because just today I passed by an Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser Wagon that looks almost exactly like the one shown here right down to the white with dark brown faux wood paneling on it!
They usually had a 455 CID motor in them.
EST was a very popular new age fad for learning to get into your inner self and not let people push your buttons
My sense memory of Tang taste is so good I can almost feel it in my mouth
Still love my T-Tops!
Thanks bought back great memories, HOT PANTS, but steve what a fool he was.
I miss riding with the t tops out
I always thought many of the cars in the 70s were cool looking.
I would love to have one or two, three...lol
Heh. I had 5 or 6 from the seventies back in the 80s. We were always jonesing for pre 72 cars before they began to be chocked be emissions controls before the days of *good* fuel injection and computer controlled emissions. My favorite car that I had for awhile was a 1974 Cadillac Coupe Deville. Ugly as all get out on the outside but interior was mint and all five cigarette lighters even worked. Had the "economy" 472 cubic inch motor. Got 12 or so miles to the gallon (highway) the way I drove. I do like some of the 70s body styles more now that I'm 40+ years removed from them. God though the majority of 80s thru early 90s body styles sucked IMO. 😎😎
I sure wish I had my SS ragtop now, that’s for sure. My dad ran a shop, and I think all the cars shown sat in our driveway at least for a while.
They were literally gunboats. I learned to drive in a New Yorker. That thing was huge
I had a 67 mustang gt, 390 ci in it...sold it for $300 to pay my decased dads garage bill....steering wheel probably worth that now...
Heck yeah!! Loved the Starsky and Hutch car!!!
T Roof on cars didn't die out because of not being popular, everyone loved them but they were a seriously hazardous design flaw that weakened then entire body of the car causing them to fold in half when they hit anything head on or if hit in the rear. They were forced to stop making them and the sunroof took over as best option to having a convertible.
Pop up headlights, that fad deserved to die. Stupid things, ugly and always breaking and getting stuck halfway open.
Love this! I was a kid during the Seventies
My parents sucked at making Tang. It was always too watery.
And if you're having Tang for breakfast, don't forget to sprinkle some Wheat Germ on your cereal!
I was shocked, a couple years ago, when - I think it was John Glenn - admitted in an interview that "Tang sucked!" :-O I never liked the stuff either... but it just kind of hurt me to have an idol like Glenn admit it himself! :-(
Omg, my mom was a total wheat germ freak! 😄😄
Wheat germ ! and cod liver oil your dad wanted u to take cherry ot lemon flavor !
Steve Martin sang king tut on Saturday night live
I had an '86 Trans Am with T Tops. Took them out maybe 4 days each year, but preferred A/C or heat the rest of the time. And the body flexed a LOT on curves, especially when the speedometer was somewhere near the top number.
In the 70s, high basketball uniforms had really short shorts and long tube socks with canvas sneakers, generally Converse All Stars.
Hot pants and tube tops! HELL YEAH! Loved that look on a pretty lady. Hip hugger jeans were the bomb too!
Whats not to like...
Hip huggers are the only jeans I for women I wish would come back in style.. lol
My girlfriend had legs that went all the way to heaven and when she wore Hot Pants, oh brother she stopped traffic.
Mine became a model during high school. She dumped me when she graduated a year before I did in 1980. I didn't know that she was a model until many years later. I dodged that bullet. I can't imagine going to bed tonight with a 60-year-old grandma. lol
Girls were prettier in the 70s.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Hot tang is surprisingly awesome!
Very Cool Dude...... Thanks !!!!
I have always loved the half shirts and actually still do at sixty years old man. There's just something about them
Dexatrim was timed-released, so we would chew up a couple of them for a quick high.
Good times.
New sub here. I'm loving your content! These are fun to watch! Thanks!
In Boy Scouts, we discovered that Tang was good for starting fires.
Loved Hot Pants and Tube Tops❤❤❤Loved 70z look for Chixxx😊❤❤❤❤
We always had Tang in our house. Actually never heard of the Pyramid Theory. 🤔
Loved Alan Parsons Project. Still do.
Pyramid power lives on in the New Age & Crystal Communities. Energy is thought to reach an apex, and be launched out into our heinous little world ;) Great video!
I must of slept thru that fad..guess I wasnt sleeping under a pyamid..LOL
I loved my tube socks 😆
I used to babysit the rotten kid down the street, who always bragged that his dad was our police chief. He was probably 6 or 7 when he pulled my tube top down in front of my younger siblings. I could always imagine him in reform school.
Bell bottom pants, Farah Fawcett flip, Dorthey Hamill haircut etc...
Sadly, 1970's football coaches wore hot pants as well.
LOL!
I always wore tube socks lol
Eh, Believe it or not, The Cadillac DeVille was SUBDUED compared to the DISCO GLORY that was the Buick Electra Limited. YES, KIDS, There WAS a Buick that could "out Cadillac" a Cadillac!
The cadillac devilee with SPOKE WHEELS
“America was proud of their achievements…..”. Times sure have changed for the worse.
I had T-Tops on my 1988 Supercharged Toyota MR2.
Those were hot little cars. I had an 81 Camaro in high school and was really irritated when something like a Supra or a supercharged MR2 could beat me at a light. lol Not to mention handling.
I was looking to buy a used MR2 when I was in college but the right car and the money situation never met up.
