Love it! The best thing is that most of these toys relied on you using your imagination! What a wonderful childhood we had!
I agree! I can remember using my big box of crayons to make roads, log cabins and anything I could think of. Then I had to sneak a matchbox car from my brother's room. 😂😂😂
It was great that kids actually played in groups, used their imaginations, stayed safely out of doors on wide sidewalks, safer streets...hard to believe how things have changed.
...we could turn base mud into pastries...
@@mohammedcohen Exactly. I remember taking my mom’s kitchen mixing bowl and making chocolate frosting (mud) and giving a sample to the little pal I played with. He was not impressed. But god, it was fun!
...sticks from trees were swords and garbage can lids (remember steel garbage cans???) were shields@@christinesotelo7655
In the 60s we used to round up every kid on the block and commence having dirt-clod fights. Kind of like dodgeball but with hard chunks of dirt and rock. Great fun!
Although there weren't any wooden toys in the program, I wanted to mention that many toys and games I had as a child in the early 60's, were made of wood, there were cars, trains, tinkertoys, farm and zoo animals, bowling pin games. Most of the Ideal and Mattel toys were too expensive for my working class parents.
Same here , I did have linkin logs and tinker toys but I don’t remember most of these. I was born in 58 but I don’t think we had a television until I was seven or eight.
Isn’t it amazing how much fun we had in those days and nobody died that I knew…
Lots of military brainwashing

Yeh there was no RUclips rotting your brain and none of this 🟧⬛ shit and that's the better times 😊

Bicycle helmets changed everyone into a p_ssy
Ah a "Major Matt Mason commercial. I always wanted the Space Station so my fat
her made me one!!
I love these old commercials! I noticed Kurt Russell in one of them.😂
yeah, @11:08 I thought he looked familiar
With William Conrad narrating...from "Cannon" and "Rocky & Bullwinkle"
Right William Conrad and Kurt Russel .
@@BrianBattles William Conrad was also Marshall Matt Dillion on radio program Gunsmoke that was before TV programming of show with James Arness although both ran for awhile.
That guy was everywhere !
I miss those innocent days of enjoying real life.
There are people, all over the world, that still have these toys. In an attic, basement or mint in the box. So neat to me.
Anyone else notice Kurt Russell in the Zero M sonic blaster?😎
My Barbie dated GI Joe and went off the roof in her Corvette, she was a stunt women. My brother used to get so mad when I took his toys. I also glued his Lincoln Logs into permanent structures. 😂
Yeah,Barbie goes with Ken, but she comes with GI Joe!
@@boataxe4605Hahahaha!!! Great!
I have been looking for my little sister , Have I found you , Is that you
@@boataxe4605lol...she "comes" with him, huh..🎉
The Johnny Seven (7 in One Gun) was one badass toy!
Yep! And it’s strange that back then,at a time when kids played with toy guns,we didn’t have nearly the amount of gun violence that we have now. That really confuses liberals.
I was born in 1961 and I saw most of these toys and had some as well. Wow, kids today will never know the fun of imagination.
I think it's just a different type of imagination, for example, kids build all sort of really creative things in minecraft or roblox
In our new world of freedom, so many of the toys in these ads, and the ads themselves, would be banned. Remember when every kid was assumed to know the difference between a real gun and a toy gun? Gosh, we could draw pictures of guns in our notebooks without teachers assuming we we were a disaster waiting to happen - and, not surprisingly, we actually did know because we weren't detached from reality. But we also knew to look both ways before crossing a street and to not expect cars to stop just because we were in the middle of the road looking at our phones. And, despite all that, we even learned to read and write, learned about slavery and the Civil War, and learned where Canada and Alaska were on a map - all without metal detectors and active shooter drills. The problem never was the toys or the ads. The problem is dumb parents, teachers, administrators.
AND our sick gun nut culture
I really enjoyed this compilation! I would have loved to see the year they aired noted on each commercial, but I’m not sure it’s possible.
Either way, big thanks to you and Ira Gallen for your work in gathering this collection for all of us to enjoy! Very much appreciated!
I want that galloping horse.
“Now shrunken heads for all occasions” well finally been looking everywhere 🤣
Lol!
What occasions do I need a shrunken head for? 😖Asking for a friend.
Perfect for people with big heads.

Mattel and Ideal Toys were magical to me....
Kids today have NO idea how to be a kid.
You got that right
That’s what every generation says. How about coming up with something new.
That's just your "generational prejudice" coming into play. I'm 36 and grew up in the 90s. We has the perfect mix of the old and the new. The kids today have a lot more access to information and some amazing technological resources. To be honest, I'd rather have been a kid today.
Kids today have all the toys that we wish we had. Comments like this from people who act like they wouldn’t have a Nintendo switch unlimited games or movies/ shows or games that simulate actual plane flight is funny. Admit it OP, if you were a kid now and had all the things available to kids you’d use them too.
@@SuperBlazer333mad true dawg yo homie fire radical tubular testicals
Damn, I've always assumed that being a kid in the 80s and a teen in the 90s put me in the best era for toys, especially "boys'" toys. But clearly I missed that era by like 25 years.
I can still recall how silly putty felt. the crackling sound it makes when you squeeze it popping air bubbles in it.
I used to love to press it against the Sunday Comics!
@@christinesotelo7655Same 😊. I saw them or a k knockoff a couple of years ago in a dollar store and felt the urge to give up a buck 😂
I just saw some Silly Putty in Walmart 2 days ago!
Times were much better back then. We had more freedom and were a smarter people.
A lot of toys we had back then would be considered danger-es by today's standards. But some how we survived, yes we were smarter. And just think we went thru school without Google.😧
Nice pat on the back to yourself. I don’t think kids back then were any smarter than today. 🙄
@@RevLeigh55 Sure they were not dumbed down by social media. But think as you want. We are still allowed to do that
I cannot wait to show my dad this video! I know he’s going to be happy and get all teary eyed. Thank you for these videos 😊
I bet some of these toys are worth a fortune now. I watch American Pickers and it amazes me what old toys are worth.
My cousin said my old GI Joe was worth a fortune, but looking into it and it’s about $60 of course I don’t have it in the original packaging
I had some of these and other toy guns back then. Im a veteran and survivor of many neighborhood cowboy and indian shootouts, civil war battles, WW2 encounters with German and Japanese soldiers yet never once did I ever feel the urge to actually shoot someone. I was never lectured by my parents or other adults and authority figures to not actually shoot someone.
I did the same but once, when I was very young I had a plastic WW2 German helmet. My friend's dad saw me wearing this and became very angry with me and I didn't know why. Turns out he fought the Nazis during WW2.
@@danieljohnson9351 WOW!!! That story makes me so sad for you and your neighbor! I hope your parents explained it to you in a way that you could understand so that you would understand that his reaction was not your fault. And also to maybe not wear that helmet outside (especially not near him!) Would have been even more tragic had you inadvertently triggered a PTSD episode that made him come out and actually shoot you.
A friend of mine and I went to a flea market and picked up a couple of German soldier jackets, boy were they sharp, when he wore it home is mother freaked out- she was Jewish 😂
The young Kurt Russell made a great sniper.
This is great! I was born in '83, but I've totally played with some of these toys as a child. My grandmother's saved everything, so we got to have the hand-me-downs! There's something comforting in listening to this... it may be my new, fall asleep to, video. Thanks a bunch! 😊✌️
Wow, cool childhood with vintage toys!
Man I was born in 99. Idve loved quite a few of these as a kid specifically the carry all action sets would've blown my mind
Thanks for putting these commercials out here for us all to enjoy…👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
At 7:13 ...according to the inflation calculator, $30 inn 1965 was worth $290 today...for a doll????
Steve Canyon was on TV for two years in the late 50s. I was crazy about fighter jets. I got this helmet as a birthday present. There was a piece of thin plastic in the mask, so when you talked into it, it vibrated.
I was the first to have GI Joes among my friends back when they came out.
Not gonna lie I want to see the Dingalings return, I would’ve been all over them as a kid if they where still on store shelves in the mid 2000’s!
Epic collection. Fun was still ok back then.
Approx. 7:50 - Bonanza figurines - I understand these were brought out just as Pernell Roberts ( who played Adam Cartwright) was leaving the show ! So since the figures and horses were already designed, the fourth figure - that should have been Adam - was renamed as the ' 'Outlaw ', and a moustache was added..... But at least they got the horse coloured right : chestnut with 4 white socks, and a white blaze on its face, which is the one that Adam rode. :)
At 45:00 that's Stanley Fafara , Whitey Whitney, from Leave it to Beaver.
Love 💘 ❤ 😍 💖 ❣ 💕 those toy commercials from the 50s & 60s.
Awesome.
Thank you for preserving these reels.. Amazing how watching one of these commercials opens the doorway to precious memories that are often forgotten.
I was born in the 50's and remember so many of these toys, i had Johnny 7 and Major Matt Mason, toys back then were so cool.
Thank you, Dave. This was SO enjoyable and brought back many happy childhood memories.
I loved COLORFORMS! '60s toys were the best!
COLORFORMS were the best! That was back when they were simply brightly colored shapes of multiple sizes. In the 80's they licensed characters, like Sesame Street, and the board to place them on was a picture. That definitely limited kids' ability to play with them creatively.
I’m pretty sure $20 was a lot of money in the 50’s and 60’s
Oh yeah! I remember saving pennies in a beer can for Xmas shopping when I was a little kid then when I save two dollars, ran to Woolworth’s to buy my parents the biggest gift I thought they’d ever get: two foam rubber bed pillows for two dollars! In pennies! And the salesgirls would actually take the time to be nice and count out the pennies! I was SO excited!
I really wish Remco made a Lost In Space Robot commercial. I am actually thinking of creating a retro version of my own. This is quite amazing! I want those Bonanza figures! Great stuff!
Type in Lost in space, Star Trek, Land of the giants, Voyage to the bottom of the sea, Beverly Hillbillies, Six million dollar man, Bionic Woman whatever superhero by name, comic book character, monster and other show or movie toys to see them.
I believe that was Kurt Russell at the end of the Sonic Blaster.
Those were the days. i grew up in the 60s the best toys ever
It’s a wonderful compilation. It’s IDEAL!
Brings back memories of the countless hours my friends and I spent playing with our ding a lings. Good times.
Haha!
Another time capsule gem! Thanks Dave
Okay.
*Man I miss those days, when these great, long lasting toys were made in America.* 👍👍& 10⭐ 🐃🐂🐄🐎🤠

tyco bought ideal in the eighties Mattel bought Tyco in th late ninties
you left out (at a very young age) Kurt Russel in the OM sonic blaster spot and Hal Smith (Otis Campbell from the Andy Griffith Show playing the burglar) in the detective Tommy Blaster ad
@@peredechat1126 I was only mentioning voiceovers.
Wow. Thanks for the trip through memory lane.
We mostly played outside even in the winter with the whole neighborhood.
My brother and I had shoot-em-shell pistols and rifles back in the late 50's one of our favorite toys.
And I bet that neither of you have killed anyone.
so much fun I still think I need a real life snub nose tommy gun toy
Thanks, Ira and Dave!
No school like the old School Toys..👍👍👍
I don’t know if you can coordinate it or not but like obviously we’re all waiting for the toy gun commercials thanks once again
Wow.
Robots,toy guns,Gi Joe and a Head Shrinking Kit WOW!!!! Now this is a trip wayyyyyyyyyy back 📽📽📽📺 🙏 and when Mr. or Mrs. Potato 🥔 used real potatoes!!! Hope to make the Friday Night Live Stream📽📺📼💯😎🧈🧈🧈 Thanks Dave
Thanks, Retro Classics!
So much fun to be had... thanks for the farther throwback Dave!!!
# way back.
Wow just the first 2 minutes of this and I am laughing my ass off!
Kurt Russell was a zero m agent. Priceless!
I grew up in this Era and had tv and never heard of a lot of these things
That Roy Rogers shooting hat is so cool!
I was 7 years old 1n 1969 when I got my first GI Joe for my birthday...the REAL one...not one of those tiny figurine versions in the 80's...later I got on with a kung fu grip!!!
Great memories Dave!! Thanks!!
❗Tony, the Tony Home Permanent Doll, you gave her one ! Betsy Wetsy and Tiny Tears were STAPLES in every little girl's 50s suburban bedroom !
I'm I'm 66 years old and I at least a few of those toys advertisement remember the ones involving spies because that was the thing on TV in the 60s kids love those shows like Man from Uncle Etc 😂😊
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent assortment of ( TV ) commercials.
I remember playing with Kerplunk, a Barrel of Monkeys, Battleship, Millie Borns, Risk, Monopoly, and Stock Ticker back in the 1970s when growing up. Those were the best Xmas times ever! Kids today have zero patience and get bored if they don't get stimulated within 2 minutes.
Monopoly! My parents and relatives would get together on Friday nights to play Monopoly while my little cousin and I played dolls in her room. The adults would eat salami and cheese and crackers and drink then get pretty drunk and before we knew it, they’d be fighting and shouting over Monopoly and someone would always get thrown out.
Not all kids today are like that. It’s really terrible when older generations knock younger generations. I’m 68 and don’t see any point in being so negative. I just enjoy my memories without making negative comparisons.
@@RevLeigh55 it’s really terrible when younger generations knock older generations. We all think we live in the best and the worst of times.
Mattel brilliantly introduced Barbie on the Mickey Mouse Club! 24:50
Barbie was Ken's beard!
At the Naha's department store in so. CA, in the later 1960s I have never seen so many, SO MANY G.I. Joe toy sets before, all in one place - a couple came with tanks, another one had him dressed as a sailor ... 😮
Watching these classic ADS
Makes you think about those
Good Ole. Saturday morning
TV. Shows now Saturdays
Suck please I. Wish someone
Would bring them back to TV
A network. Where they show
Those cartoons from. The 60s
To the 80s nothing else and
Show ONLY these classic
Commercials none stop
So we can relive those sweet
Days of being A KID with
This generation of kids those
Are the good. Ole days. I wish
I. Could go Back to. 1970. When
I. Was a happy 10 year old and
All my toys I still have my red
Wagon my. Lego blocks.
Me too. I was before that even and my kids grew up on Bugs Bunny and Road Runner and all those on a Saturday morning when the TV was a box that you had to twist a dial and arrange the rabbit ear antenna on top of the TV. No remotes. If it was too loud you had to walk from the couch to the set and use the knob to adjust the volume.
I was born in 1951 and when I was 5 I got my first Tonka truck. Was a highway dump truck also had a cattle semi. Loved them no batteries needed.
I'm loving these regular streams Dave.
These commercials were before my time, I grew up in the 80s.
But these were pretty cool toys, but the Mr.Potato head, were those real potatoes they used? They definitely looked it. And the life size Patty doll, $29.99 back then I'm sure that was really expensive, but today a doll that size would be considered a bargain. Dolls of that size today are like between $80-$100
Not sure what year Party came out.
But despite these commercials being like 25 years before my time I most definitely am enjoying these commercials.
Yes! It's hilarious that they sold a toy that was actually just accessories that required you using actual food to play with. Makes me wonder just how many rotten vegetables parents found in their kid's room. Maybe that's one reason they started providing a fake potato 😂
I learned more about some of these on The Toys That Built America. Makes one wonder how different things might've been if the woman who came up Barbie listened to everyone who told her no mom is going to let their daughter play with a doll that has breasts.
The Cartwright toys I would love to HAVE!!!!
Oh F**k yeah!!! This is awesome, Dave. Just what I needed to watch. Thanks dude! 😊
I put some of my GI JOES and their stuff in an airtight flour tin . It hid the m from my mother and they still smell brand new.
So the robot at 21:40 goes up the "elevator" and becomes the brain of King Ding. Makes total sense 🤣
Had a Mattel Shootin Shell revolver. Looked real..
Now I know where my generation's insane love of guns...Started!
Sonar Sub Hunt, or "Sonar Sub", as we called it as kids, was one hell of a fun game. So fun that I remember even my Dad got in on this one. Also it was cutting edge toy technology at the time. As I remember, not the easiest game for kids to learn, but once you understood how to play, was extremely entertaining. Great memories!!
I found one of these at a thrift store this past summer. The box is in pretty good shape. Some of the sides are spilt but repairable. Appears to be missing a sub and several mines. Game still works and bulb too.
one of those boys is Kurt Russel. and one of the girls was Buffy from Family Affair
The Rockem Sockem boy is Bobby Buntrock from the "Hazel" TV show...
So many ding-a-lings and guns 🤖🔫 😂😂😂. This was a fun and funny live stream Dave 😂.
Whatever you do; do not discard any of those things. They are priceless in a sense, since we cannot put a dollar value on how much they mean to us. Hopefully you can get an assistant to help you to manage it all. Aarre Peltomaa of Mississauga, Ontario
I loved my Topper Ding a lings and King Ding Robots So much fun as a kid We also had the Topper Suzy Homemaker toys
I'll take Jordan Marsh in Boston for the toy round up. :) Great commercial showing what life was like before the zip code.
so cool , I had some of that stuff , it sure was fun back then you really went out side to be with your friends
Intro is sooooo good
I would have eaten ALL of my spinach plus seconds just to have that galloping pony
Thanks fornthe memories dave
Mr and Mrs potato head, magic 8 ball some where? Loved this one Dave:) Thank you.
Oh! Magic Eight Ball! My favorite! Remember slinkies?
As a kid ,I remember every toy,on here. My mother still had,2 toys put aside,for me when she passed. My Lionel train, and the great garloo. They're both still brand new in their boxes. Never played with them. I had a lot of fun in the 50's
You never played with your Lionel set? Now that's no fun! Keep in mind the transformer cord has likely deteriorated by now, and the grease Lionel shipped their trains with, was a cheap oil and soap mix. I call it 'Concrete grease' because decades on, it turns as solid as concrete. Get it checked, and play with it! That's what those classics were meant for: Pure fun and joy!
And no Tonka, Nylint, and other metal toy companies. Some one corner those film commercials? Enjoyed watching this.
11:59 "We really shook the pillars of heaven, didn't we, Wang."
Excellent!!!
11:11 Kurt Russell 🤭👍
The live was amazing Dave!!! Thanks for sharing these awesome older ads. I'm sad I missed Friday well I missed a big part. I'll catch up more when you go live again. Maybe pop up live edit style?!?! These ads I bet my parents knew them pretty well :)
Thanks, Tammy! Will see u on the next one 😁
Wish I still had my Johnny 7 gun. Worth a lot of money now.
Omg that bike helmet reminds me of the Simpsons when bart gets that tactical belt 😂 especially with the left and right turn signals
Lol! He's turning left!
The robot at the beginning of the video looked like a close contender of the Ding-a-Lings! 😂😂😂😂
Ah, to have a time machine so you could go back - just long enough - to scoop up some of these great toys !!! :)
I MISS THOSE DAYS WE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO HAVE TOYS WE CREATED THINGS TO DO
I had Blaze, despite being a cowgirl! I remember the potato heads with real potatoes. Small parts could easily be swallowed, and made of metal, so they’d tear up your innards and require surgery! Funny, though, nothing of that sort ever happened to me. The doll was very expensive for that time. My cousins had RockemSockem robots. We played our own game of World War, no toys needed, just hunted each other down with colored rubber bands.
It makes me laugh how they say robut instead of robot.
