i don't see what's so bad about this. the native characters here aren't being portrayed as savages or evil, in fact the story at the beginning quite literally implies that the cavalry were the ones who started the conflict, and seems to commend the colonel for ending it using kool aid
The only "analysis" necessary about that is: how do I make that a text alert on my iPhone? (Native...if I'm not offended, then neither should anyone outside my circle!) 👍🏻

I'm white, so take what I'm saying here with a grain of salt, but what's offensive about this commercial isn't necessarily that Native Americans are being portrayed in stereotypical outfits (though this can be harmful if it causes people to assume that all Native Americans look like that, since it erases the identities of those who don't), but rather that they are being shown as excessively violent. To claim that one race of people is inherently more violent than another is, well, racist.
Go look up the American Indian Wars…both sides were very violent. Also look up the Comanche tribe. They conquered most of what is known today as New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado and Kansas. They did so with brutality and violence. It was a way of life for them. Whenever they invaded any tribe, males old enough to fight were never spared even if they surrendered. They sexually assaulted, tortured, and murdered the women and took the children captive as slaves.
@@MK_Ultrautism What the fuck does that have to do with how PC commercials are? People still can, and often do, support a whole family (whatever that exactly means) with just a HS education. Often, they do so with even less. The plumber who lives across the alley from me is a HS dropout and property taxes on this block run in the $9K/year range. Implying that being polite to others and not degrading huge groups of Americans in trying to sell powdered drink mix is detrimental to our quality of life is a veritable orgasm of invalid idiocy. Bad elf! Bad, bad elf!

@@univon4892it may not be extremely offensive and malicious, but it's pretty ignorant/outdated in terms of depicting indigenous ppl (i view it in the same way as the disney peter pan "what makes the red man red" scene)
Ok first off, don’t call people snowflakes, it’s derogatory and bully-like. Secondly, more people than you think would be outraged if this aired today. It’s racist for goodness sake.
@@Delivery_Boy_Roy ok there snowy. I've been called worse many times over and could care less. Grow a thick skin. Life is much better that way. When people react, much like you have here over the stupidest of comments, it makes you a snowflake.
@@mickeymousey1239 its racist, just because people didn't CARE about the racism back then, doesn't mean it wasn't offensive. I don't give a shit that they didn't "know better" that doesn't excuse blatant racism.
Omg this would NEVER be aired now. esp.. when the white guy tosses Indians behind him in line so that he can be the first one to get kool-aid. I’m surprised this is on RUclips with all what’s going on in this day and age.
And the Indian tosses the White guy behind him, they both do it again, and the Indian gets the Kool-Aid first. What's the big deal? You have to look at the whole commercial, not 2 seconds of it.

I love Leo the Tiger
His name was Thurl 'Pappy' Ravenscroft.
I remember this commercial, and don't figure out my age. LOLOLOL.
Best voice ever.
They should make commercials like this again !
Ok, I thought that sounded like him!
This is how the first thanksgiving happened
Kool-Aid man really went downhill. He Went from strong spoken to running into walls and saying “OH YAAAAA”
Effects of blunt trauma and brain damage
Old kool aid man was racist as f***
He went uphill
im native and i found this shit to be funny as hell 😂😂
Your based and have a sense of humor my friend!

you don't speak for all natives, Uncle Tomahawk
@@berserk1437i don't think you speak for us either
Lol yep.
why does everyone like kool aid no matter where
because it tastes great
Also they should make one commercial but it takes place in North Korea(achieves world peace)
I hate it
Because Kool Aid Kool Aid tastes great!!
Kool-aid is fukim awesome blep blep
I love the classic cool aid commercials
As someone who is Native. LMAO WHAT?!
That opening second straight up killed me
i don't see what's so bad about this. the native characters here aren't being portrayed as savages or evil, in fact the story at the beginning quite literally implies that the cavalry were the ones who started the conflict, and seems to commend the colonel for ending it using kool aid
“Indian fighter” haha this is so messed up
Would it be worse if it was Indian Slayer instead xD because they could definitely have said that back then.
Different times
@King of The Zinger too funny this commercial is epic - kool aid stops indian attack thank u for not being offended by this
I’m Native and no colonizer can win me over with drinking
How is this "messed up"?
the first two seconds of this need to be analyzed more thoroughly
im native and i found this funny tbh
The only "analysis" necessary about that is: how do I make that a text alert on my iPhone? (Native...if I'm not offended, then neither should anyone outside my circle!) 👍🏻
0:01 me after work
What do you mean?
Aw man now I wanna go back in time and stop those 80 million deaths by giving the whites and natives kool aid
nah cause they probably would have died anyway…over who’d get more koolaid
still better animation than staariat
anything will be better than staariat
staariat is not bad
What's "staaariat "?
@@jakesmithsonian388 I searched up and it's some Brazilian female animator/"vtuber" and I believe what this comment is saying.

Hi my name is Mark and I'm a native American with the salt River Pima Maricopa county Indian community and I'm going to sue the hell out of Kool-Aid
Tex Avery worked on this.

Why is this an ad from the 1900s?
What year is this commercial from?
Either 50s or 60s
All of these Kool aid kid commercials are early 60s
This was originally seen around 1959.
Fun fact about Kool-Aid was formed in 1927
Bring back commercials like this.
America's favorite drink in an envelope.
If only custer had some kool aid with him
Thurl Ravescroft is rhe narrator,he also viiced Tony the Tigers.
Wow, wasn't that great? No, horrible times, considering that I live next to a reservation.
Indians get free land, free college, some get free cash and you feel bad for THEM?
Commercials like this need to be brought back.
No they don’t lmao
Yes they do

The quality of life in America is indirectly proportional to how PC the commercials are.
Things were of a fairly soulless consumer quality during the time of this commercial as well
The quality of life back the Was GREAT. If you were white…
