I enjoyed these too. Immensely. But I can't imagine anyone who wasn't around back then having any idea why we'd feel nostalgic about these weird old nuggets.
Yeah, slipping back to a nicer time if a person doesn't think about Viet nam, Race riots, Watergate, the Kennedy assassinations, pollution and a dozen other pock marks on the face of the globe. I agree with you though.
What ever happened to Prell shampoo? Remember, it was emerald green and came in a clear plastic tube? And L'eggs pantyhose? We played spaceships with the containers when we were kids
There's three ads I haven't seen on these videos. Madge and her Palmolive, "your soaking in it.", Mr. Wimple "don't squeeze the Charmen.", and the ad with the asian guy who would be asked how he got his laundry clean, he would say "ancient Chinese secret."
RE: the previous post by Barry Grauman and the "Mrs. Smith" (at 21:34) - Both Jackie Joseph and Maggie Peterson (the blonde in this commercial) appeared on the Andy Griffith Show. Jackie Joseph appeared in one episode ("Ramona") and Maggie played "Charlene Darling" on several episodes.
These old commercials were better than most of today’s commercials for a lot of reasons. I think they are more creative, more entertaining and usually the announcer is better. So many commercials these days come on at a ridiculous volume that practically blasts you off your couch, and then the announcer is either yelling or the music is also too loud. I’ve literally gotten hurt scrambling to get the remote when commercials come on. Now c’mon everyone, let’s all do the Sloppy Joe while we sing with our neighbor about our laundry. Lol
@@johnbockelie3899 Speaking of Mr. Clean, notice how the cleaning woman in the live-action Mr. Clean ad speaks with a thick Irish brogue. They'd never get away with something like that today, because it would be considered too stereotypical. The actor playing the live-action version of Mr. Clean looked sort of like Yul Brynner (of "The King And I" fame). In fact, I thought it WAS Yul Brynner, at first. I wondered why he was wearing an earring in his left ear, until I realized it was a commercial for Mr. Clean, and I remembered that in the animated ads for the product and the pictures of M.C. on the bottles, he always wore (and probably still does) an earring in his left ear.

A co-worker once explained how they came up with their daughter's name. Apparently while she was pregnant with her she asked her husband for suggestions on names and he glanced over at a bottle of Tidybowl cleaner and blurted out Tidy. For some crazy reason my co-worker liked the way it sounded and thus named their daughter that - actually they named her Tidy Lou. Which is just as bad as Tidybowl since loo is another word for toilet - so the poor girl was technically named "clean toilet." I didn't ask how badly the girl was teased over her name - but I can imagine it had to be rough.
Every time I see that can of Butter Nut coffee, I think about an episode of "All in the Family when Edith was putting away the groceries, after shopping. She had about 3 cans of it in the shopping bag. Lol
About that era was the 8 track as well, and for cheap you could get old radio programs, like ' the shadow knows'. My parents got a kick out of them, that was their childhood.
when I was a kid the manufacturers of household items advertised on tv would hand out "free samples" to the whole city by hanging it on your front door knob .......... and mr. clean was one of them .......... we went all around the neighborhood and "borrowed" every bottle we could get our grubby little paws on!
In Canada, that had to stop when the Hazardous Products Act was passed. The maker of Kleen N Shine got in big trouble for leaving its poisonous cleaner where kids could (and did) get into it.
We recieved our gift samples when our marriage was recorded at the Courthouse . I remember bayer aspirin , Bold detergent , crest toothpaste & Tylenol , which was fairly new . Or perhaps aspirin& powders were more commonly used then.
I had forgotten all about this. You'd come home from school and there would be a sample of dishwashing liquid, or laundry detergent, or something hanging on the door. You'd take it and dump it into the neighbor's wading pool, and you'd have suds for days! Fun times!
Pringles 1960's : Pours out chips that aren't broken. Me with Pringles in 2022: Pours out chips. The top half is okay, the bottom half are potato flakes.

In the pringles commercial starting at 15:07, the guy in the sweater with the crew cut is norman grabowski. In the 1950s he was famous in the hot rod community as the inventor of the T-bucket hot rod. His car was featured in quite a few car and hot rod magazines which resulted in his car being rented to be used in tv shows and movies. Which in turn led to norm having an acting career of his own thanks to the connections he made through hollywood always renting his car. He didnt become a big star, but he acted in quite a large number of tv shows and movies. His last acting job before he retired from acting was the 1981 burt reynolds movie, the cannonball run. He can be seen briefly as a guy changing a tire on a van. His back is to the camera. Apparently he had a few more scenes in which his face could be seen, but those scenes were edited out.
@michaelpalmieri7335 From wikipedia: A T-bucket (or Bucket T) is a hot rod, based on a Ford Model T[1] built from 1915 to 1927, but extensively modified. T-buckets were favorites for greasers. Model Ts were hot-rodded and customized from the 1920s on, but the T-bucket was specifically created and named by Norm Grabowski in the 1950s. This car was named Lightning Bug, better known as the Kookie Kar, after being redesigned by Grabowski and appearing in the TV show 77 Sunset Strip, driven by character Gerald "Kookie" Kookson. The exposure it gained led to numerous copies being built. A genuine T-bucket has the two-seater body of a Model T roadster (with or without the turtle deck or small pickup box), this "bucket"-shaped body shell giving the cars their name. A Model T-style radiator is usually fitted, and even these can sometimes be barely up to the task of cooling the large engines fitted. Windshields, when fitted, are vertical glass like the original Model T.
3:40 I thought bold man was going to pick her up, and carry her into the bedroom and she would exclaim "My sir you are Bold!" Woman: "Wait Bold man how can I thank you?" Boldman: " Just dont tell your husband!"

Also Biz really was great for its time, it got stains out that had been impossible since forever. I wonder if it's still out there under some other brand name or something.
Yes, all very nostalgic, but also a reminder of how we have changed socially. Not all was beautiful back then even if the commercials make it look that way.
@@luisreyes1963 I had to stop eating Pringles because every time I would eat them, they made me sick. Besides, they stopped tasting as good as they used to when I was a kid.
This was the beginning of all the processed food market. I rarely eat potato chips, but if I did it would be the real thing. Not that nasty processed “fake “ potato chips.
I remember the cans being shorter, and having a white, ribbed liner inside. That kept the chips from breaking. And they stayed stacked. They don't fall to the bottom like they do now. Oh, by the way, they're nasty tasting now.
when commercials were enjoyable. not crap today. i love those classic commercials. miss the good ole days. i am 66 but remember some others i don,t.
Commercials today : ughhhh stop interrupting my video
Old commercials: Yeahh I’ll sit through all of this sooo entertaining
Something is so comforting and cozy about old commercials..... maybe that’s why we keep rewatching them? 😉🌷

I’m sold on Bold, the new detergent Bold...I still remember that commercial. ☺️
I remember eating Pringles for the first time at my grandparents' house. They were so darn salty! Addictive.
My former best friend made me try them in the 90's and I wasn't the biggest on them since I'm not a chip person.

"Oh welcome home dear. This is Bold man. He was just showing me his detergent."
"Uh huh..."
very nice commercials for me, I am watching these every night exactly for bold detergent
I'm thinking I need to get Bold detergent now.
It's still made by Procter & Gamble after it's return in 1982.
Yes, I'm thinking that, too. They sure did push those Bold commercials back then.
I'm thinking she should go with Boldman instead of the cranky husband...
The most beautiful wash in the world...
Maybe after I have some Pringles...
These commercials were cool and full of fun darn special.
Boy, this video has so many Bold commercials from the '60s! 😆😆😆😆😆
And if you ask me the bold ones are the best ones in this video!
Don't forget the Pringles on your way home.
Love how the ladies were back then!
Can I go back in time please? Thank you
DAMN !! A commercial with Boris Karloff ... I wish I was alive back then -- so kickass cool 😎 !!

bold washing powders, i wish thay sold now, which you dont see again. i wish i could go back to the 60s and 70s.
If you really want some, Bold is hugely popular in the U.K. (I think only 2nd to Persil and Ariel). So you should be able to buy online.

Doesn't surprise me in the least. Artificial sweeteners (or artificial ingredients of any kind) can be trouble.
