the hot dog one was fucked up LOL

[Kryptoskryptos]

the talking penis throwing mustard on itself was gross.

[KawaiiMooMoo]

Movie theater snacks: Before they were $5.00 for a candy bar!

[SuperFlashDriver]

@KawaiiMooMoo Now they're 3 bucks for a candy bar.

[DEEninetysix]

@SuperFlashDriver up to $6 in australia

[SuperFlashDriver]

@DEEninetysix XP OMG.

[DEEninetysix]

@SuperFlashDriver i know, i bring my own stuff in XD i can save like $20!!

[SuperFlashDriver]

@DEEninetysix I also do too. In fact, since I went trick-or-treating on Halloween, we have enough candy to save money for the movies.

[DEEninetysix]

@SuperFlashDriver You save money by not buying candy, which basically means the ticket is "free" XD GENIUS!

[SuperFlashDriver]

@DEEninetysix Yeah. =l

[mystic132]

"nuTRITIOUS" candy bars??? wtf 50's

[ShinobiGarth]

i wonder if cinema snacks were as outrageously overpriced back then as they are today

[HumanAlein100000]

Did I see this not on Youtube before?

[MrKoreyjay]

they still play the last one at our drive ins!

[lifewithgenerationz]

wow, they actually served real food back then!  Not just popcorn, candy and soda.

[ShinobiGarth]

@lifewithgenerationz more and more cinemas are now starting to add more food options so you can grab lunch or dinner along with a movie...if you wanna pay through the nose that is

[lifewithgenerationz]

wow, they actually served real food back then!

[5Marksman5]

"What's Crunchy, Crispy, Tasty, and Butter Drenched?"

"Toast?"

"You're Right! Our Hot, buttered popcorn!"

"Uh..."

[adm62796]

We have a drive-in in my town

[TheHightower92]

a simpler time

[CatalinaSafari73]

I always thought intermission commercials were cheesy, yet creative. However, that talking hot dog was way too creepy. Our only drive in theatre in a 200 mile radius was torn down to make room for a Wal-Mart. How sad is that?

[Badelves]

I had series deja vu watching this.

[lolerz360]

i was born in the wrong decade... :(

[TheBelldiver]

Man o man commercials sure seemed to be more towards family life. People weren't such fat disgusting Pigs.

Police werent Real SOBs. We had nuclear threat hammered in our heads which could wipe out the whole earth. Now we worry about a terrorist killing 1 or two. Give me the Nuke threat we were free them. Oh. FU TSA 

[Skylinerealities]

This brought back some memories.

[cowboyzsuk81]

LOL now movie theaters charge ridiculous amounts for soda popcorn and candies.

[amberola1b]

that concession boy looks a little toooooo happy holding that hot dog in the bun

[easy60sfan]

try this... set up a speaker from the TV next to the chair you're sitting in while watching a great old flick. Be sure to turn out the lights in the room and have plenty of popcorn when the movie starts! You'll love the "feel" of being at the drive-in!

[sexymama1966]

now if the weiner had put some mayo on him,...lmao:D

[JCShatena]

1:57 the popcorn came

[RETROGEMS]

I totally love these! I'm an aficionado of things retro and these old drive-through animations I find such a perfect time capsule. Thanks a bunch for posting them!

[jsilence418]

great post !

[dltanner99]

Drive-in movie novel The Dare Island Enigma see video book trailer

[StoneColdvsMe]

Wow.

[serltkughersliugh]

the first commercial about the lobby thing reminds me of the aqua teen hunger force movie XD

[kgrueschowjr2010]

high-calorie fun!

[ddavenport]

Let's all go to the lobby and get ourselves a beer ;)

[DJ1SCY]

2:41 This appeared in the movie Grease; when Danny (John Travolta) was singing a song about Sandy (Olivia Neuton John) Breaking his heart.

[50zcarsman]

Hot dog suicide! BTW, the stuff at the refreshment counter represented almost pure profit for the theater owner. Nothing had as big a mark-up (something like 16-25 times) as popcorn and soda. And it's still that way today.

[primalskateboardshop]

@50zcarsman they had to mark it up like that because greedy ass hollywood takes allmoste all the boxoffice money,where the hard working theatre owners are showing their movies for peanuts.so next time your in line at the movie consession stand remember its hollywoods fault,not the hard working tax paying theatre owner.

[RowdiezGirlz]

why does the hot dog want the kid to eat him? XD

[TakeDetour]

America has died. It's all over.

[gopconservative78]

ah the 50s! everything was wonderful

[habde]

the tex and hotdog ones were weird

[TriphopJunkie]

That was a naughty HotDog.......

[ETericET]

" let's all go to the lobby and buy a 5 gallon drink"

[theantiquegarage]

I'm only going to the lobby if there's a fallout shelter there.

[jonathanman111]

thumbs up if this made you want some popcorn

[iluvpie20101]

Back then a hot dog was 10 cents! And a soft drink was 5 cents. And popcorn was 15 cents, also chocolate was 5 cents! Now you cant even go to the movies with spending over 20 dollars. -_-'

[MicahLuvFun26]

They had hot dogs at a refereshment booth?

[jonathanman111]

@MicahLuvFun26 still do

[FluxstyleProductions]

ILL GET SOME CANDY AFTER THESE INTERMI...oh the movie started already ):

[DocDich]

Can you say Pavlovian Response ?

[jacknettle]

Sure makes me want a Coca-Cola... And I don't even like coke...

[TeamExtremerules619]

Did i not hear this this tune on Spongebob like 5 min ago on Nick?

[funnycreep]

LOOK HOW FREAKING CUTE THOSE ICE CREAM TUBS ARE!!! ^^ at 3:13

[mattybock]

it must have been such a cool era to have to distingush to the audience it was a soft drink, versus an alcohol drink.

the look of that boys face when the weiner slid into the bun- oh what an era.

[Mayanxic]

mmmmm...delicious....

[Mystrymeat]

2:00 just look at that... my popcorn pissed itself.

[Mystrymeat]

0:23 look at how that thing tears. That's no chocolate... that's chewing tobacco >:D

[tracytcb111111111111]

great clip by the time i was born there was no such thing as a drive in movies in australia any way now if a family gose to the movies your paying well over 50 for tickets and snacks

[FeygeleGoy]

2:31 The victims' decapitated heads were found some distance away, faces twisted into unnatural expressions, blood smeared on their cheeks.

[GEMINITREKKER]

EXCELLENT VIDEOS! I think theaters today ought to have an intermission as I think they'd sell more popcorn and drinks!

[qtrhrsecowgirl]

@GEMINITREKKER

They had intermission because you usually had a double feature.

[zombies8u]

Nourishing candy bars.....

[limespider8]

I think I must be hyper sexualized because a lot of the food commercials have very sexy undertones. Phallic hotdogs, dripping butter, sliding into buns...

I think advertising has been using the same unconscious devices for a long time!

[VivaLaWeegee]

@limespider8

Their generation wasn't full of perverted children and teenagers like it is now.

[itsstillfriday]

@VivaLaWeegee Yeah, their generation was full of racist, abused children.. Raised on asbestos, and leaded paint-chips.. Yep.. That precious generation was in tune with the cosmos from graduation, on into the mid-70's, at which time.. they abandoned that phony facade, to become YUPPIES!! Yep.. Oh and now that those wonderful kids are reaching their senior years, they can enjoy MY "perverted" GENERATION's social security earnings!! Yep.. they don't make 'em like they used to!!

[talltom1973]

I remember something like this. My parents took my brothers and I to see Star Wars, and the Empire Strikes Back at a drive In.  In fact it was a double feature, both films were shown that night.

[iluvpie20101]

Nice. Nice. Nice. This was wonderful. I wish they have it now. (Im 11.) Now every movie begging you see in a movie is PURE SHIT.

[clayprit]

i can't help but feel like the hotdog commercial was sexual.

[scottbaino]

You KNOW people were healthy when these ads came out if they had to advertise to please buy their theater food!!!

[DancingSpiderman]

It seems to me that all the women interpret the words as "let's all go to the potty, let's all go to the potty..." Seen those long lines?

[DancingSpiderman]

PLAY-tex...

[insman1976]

I like it. I never buy anything at the movies, but I still like the ads... Just can't bring myself to pay that much for popcorn and cokes!

[aurethefox]

FUCK i knew i was born in the right time period. these are just awful.

[redbaroniii]

Yum Yum so much butter and God only knows whats in the Hot Dog.

[DisneyBlackJet]

Food and candy used to look so shiny and healthy and GOOD...what do we have now? (This is coming from a 14 year old.)

[ConwayGilligan1993]

that hot dog commercial I find disturbing for some reason...

[messenger360]

The one with the hot dog is scary. ^^

[kim2547b]

I've only been to the drive in movie twice in my life. I went to one drive in movie in Utah when I was nine years old and I went to a drive in theater here in Pennsylvania, but I don't remember how old I was when I saw the Harry Potter movie at the drive in.

[ErockRocksAss1]

1:58 Did he just swore? Cause it sounded like "Dust my Bitches". WTF?

[splattergirl72]

we used to pack a cooler with snacks when I was a kid,but now the same drive in makes you buy a Permit to bring in outside food Iwouldnt mind paying for the food if it was edible.The hotdogs taste like inner tube ,the soda is always flat and the pizza is foul.

[IAmFurby090]

O_o I remember the last ad in this video. but I haven't gone to my somewhat local drive-in in ages!

[whokeithmoon]

lets not go to the lobby and pack our own lunch and dont forget to put plastic wrap on the toilet so that the next guy pisses on himself.

[SilverEspeon26]

The popcorn is hypnotizing you. Lol?

[nobux60]

The music and cartoons ARE brainwashing. During the movie, they show a subliminal image of food only on one frame and the sub conscience mind picks it up. Then all of a sudden people need to dash for the concession stand in droves to buy that item. All it takes is one frame of popcorn or what ever at 1/60th of a second. And without thinking about it, all of a sudden you have an urge to buy that food during the movie. This gimmick is as old as movies are.... Compliments of Sigmund Freud.

[barbj7121]

yeah baby i sing this everytime i do to the movies, yeah baby treats treats TREATS!!!!

[granger18trains]

ah the good old days of the drive ins ! miss that.

[CorazonRojiblanco11]

@granger18trains Your probably old.

[zombiehunters258]

@granger18trains i went to a drive in a cuple weeks ago

[aaaaLLLLjjjjddddd]

If a talking weiner says "I'm ready for your eatin' fun" Run.

[QuickQuwQuw]

lol candy bars arnt norishing

[ArizonaDelRio]

Tex was really rude running to the head of the line like that. He didn't pay for the pop corn, either. And did he finish the movie the people payed to see?

[sambethune]

@ArizonaDelRio: Look at it again. EVERYBODY was running to the snack bar. Tex just happened to be a little faster than the rest of them...that doesn't exactly make him rude.

[ArizonaDelRio]

I also have a problem with the disembodied childs' head entertaining the sexually frisky talking hot dog. The employees behind the counter look like psychotics as well.

[clubbinmag3]

@ArizonaDelRio ahhh haaa,,, that funny as hell how u said that,, about the child's head and the frisky hotdog,, funny as shit,,

[theprimas3]

you did that

[ImSoWeird101]

pfffft the hot dog one!

[Miyamoto10]

Overprized Snackbars Gread ... when i go in a Theatre i dont buy Popcorn or coka there i buy before i go in the snacks in a supermarket :D

[majicalburrito]

hahaha, people would get so pissed nowadays

[DjWuzHear]

excellent quality!

[1956lakota]

loved seeing those movie ads for concessions they were fun, and the movie always had a cartoon also!!!! Love it.

[whatsay2]

Thanks for sharing this..brings back great memories! We could eat popcorn with lots of butter back then because we went outside & rode our bikes and played instead of sitting inside & playing video games or watching music videos!

[MrJoeDaMan]

2:06 FUCK listin to that weird voice It sound like he coughed up wolf shit and drank 20 gallons of alien pee!

[WoWjunkie1993]

@MrJoeDaMan HAHA :D

[MrJoeDaMan]

1:57 lol look how much butter! i hate popcorn it tastes like dog shit! and fried ass talk coming out the shit oven!

[doctortabby]

Thanks for the insight. Most of us wouldn't know about that sort of thing because unlike yourself, we have not experienced the taste of fried ass out of a "sh*# oven" or even out of just a regular oven, nor have we eaten dog sh*#. We''ve just eaten popcorn. Get a life.

[dugnjay]

doctortabby, I couldn't have said it better myself !! I think YouTube needs to install a playground for disturbed children.

[MrJoeDaMan]

see whats wrong with these people it,s weird you know it this shit is weird not cartoon network and nick is much betterwho dosen,t love icarly!!! it,s awsome!

[ujayet]

Popcorn is not crunchy!

[jakyll]

They cut out the part where the hot dog screams in terror

[SeeburgMusic]

Oh my God what's on that hot dog? Mustard and Axle grease? Those sodas look gross!

[MrJoeDaMan]

i said hot dogs instead of candy bars i don,t eat much candy my parents do i eat hot dogs and stuff

[hebneh]

You may remember in the movie "Grease", when John Travolta is singing "Sandy" at the drive-in, the hot dog at 2:49 is on the screen behind him. Although, as I remember, in that version the hot dog jumped into the bun - which it doesn't do here. The marching ice creams (at the end of this clip) are also shown in this scene as well.

[MrJoeDaMan]

iv never heard of Grease when was it anything before 1997 is before i was born so there iv never heard of it! is it one of those stupid black n white films i listin and watch techno music and other things! those are cool black n white and other stuff suck! :) and im right!

[zrkch]

@MrJoeDaMan umm...no its in color and its a classic musical type thing set in the 50s. i think it waz made in 1979 or 1980.......its much better than the new disney crap on tv

[bwild61]

@MrJoeDaMan You have missed so much. That's sad.

[malecatwomen4u69]

where can i find the somenex commercials of the 1960"s

[OKStudios]

Americans....

[travis7310]

"Let's all go to the lobby to get ourselves a treat." Halloween Horror Nights uses that in their commercials and every time I hear it, I get scared. LOL.

[travis7310]

"Let's all go to the lobby to get ourselves to get ourselves a treat!" Halloween Horror Nights '09. The commercials scare me!

[Sandriikts11]

the last one comes out in grease.

n.n(L)*

[cphershon]

Let's all go to the Lobby and spend $10.50 for a large popcorn & a soda.

[hiitsmewutsup09]

Yeah, in one of the more "reasonably" priced theatres...

[zperra]

@cphershon: Lucky. Last time I got popcorn and a drink at my local theater it was almost twenty bucks. And that was with a coupon!

[cphershon]

@zperra Holy cow! Where do you live?

[zperra]

@cphershon: Southern Oklahoma. I used to think that since our town was somewhat rual, that the theature wasn't getting enough customers. But that can't be true, because when I went to see Toy Story 3 there was a line out to the door. I think they raised the prices to make extra money. :(

[DeathMechanism88]

@cphershon damn, 10.50 for popcorn & soda, at the drive inn in our town all the prices are from the 1950s

[cphershon]

@DeathMechanism88 We don't even have any drive-inns anymore. They've all been gone a long time now.

[MajicAnimations]

@cphershon Hah I have one near me.

[iluvpie20101]

@cphershon Thats now, but before, large popcorns were 50 cent, and a soda was 15 cent. Boy, imagine that. I was told that information from this old lady across my street (SHES NOT PYSCHO OR LONELY, SHE HAS A HUSBAND). I love to hear old people talk about what it was like back then.

[P3WNAGE]

At every theater, they should remake this, with the same tune, but a more contemporary twist to it. That's my opinion.

[cobar27]

How about the exploding clown?

[strikeeagle32]

Please try our delicious refreshments. What are you, a communist?

[bleedthru87]

goddamnit, i dont want refreshments! start the movie!

[zzzzxxxx341]

lets all go to the lobbby, to get ourselves a treat.. yeeeeeeepeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

[PattyMMelt]

Shit I fucking love 40's-50's America god damnit!

(why'd it change so much?)

v_v

[clubbinmag3]

@PattyMMelt

seems like the reason it hanged was the lack of technology and presence of racism.. besides that.. i guess i might have been cool. When cars cost less than 1k and pops costs under a quarter, and u could fill your tank with 10 bucks and drive cross country. Now everything is high as hell, and the car that u bought for thousands, wont even make it out of the state without the computer crashing on it, and breaking down. & no pop will cost 25 cents, try 250 cents

[DrMasopic]

I live in Pueblo, CO and we still have the Mesa drive in, they still show these during intermission!

[VistaXXX2008]

I miss drive-ins! Remember those horrible speakers? It sure was great spot to take a date though - steamed up many a window at the drive-in!

[iluvAshPikachuFred97]

Lolz! 5/5

[electrogeek77]

I'm a little disturbed at how eager that talking hot dog was to be brought to his doom.

[iluvAshPikachuFred97]

LOL

[fromthesidelines]

The scenes of the "refreshments in action" at 2:41-3:17 were originally seen in a 10 minute "intermission clock" version as well...

[catfreind]

i watch this when i want to get hungry

[Lanceisabeach]

Wow Health Food

[squeet48]

Well, that was a 3 minute and 29 second nightmare.

[maloyculero]

The music it´s almost a brainwash

I will go to the lobby @_@

I want to get a threat @_@

And do you notice all the employes are always fucking happy?

[dudemantwo]

Is this a real comercial or a retro commercial...?

[dudemantwo]

The lobby candy girl is hot...

[dudemantwo]

Why does the hotdog have such a goofy voice?

[ignatzRat]

@dudemantwo well.... he IS a wiener!

[dudemantwo]

Was corny the by line in these videos?

[F1315NJ]

@maloyculero It's called Service With a Smile

[magich8ball]

@F1315NJ Very true. It's also called people had manners back then and didn't act like asshats the way they do now....sad but true

[huntercalgary]

@magich8ball

twerp....lol

[Nevetsboy2]

@maloyculero LOL!!!! "I want to get a THREAT"!!!!

[mesariders]

lol butter drenched, so healthy XD

[cheyenne86]

I cant get this jingle outta my mind...

[nakamichiguy]

Talking hot dogs freak me out!!! LOL! Great stuff. I love that simple 50s animation, even the cheap stuff had a cool hip look to it. Nice quality film-to-tape transfers too, great to see these old films preserved.

[cheyenne86]

This makes me smile... It is so simple and innocent.

[zzzzxxxx341]

omgosh..poor hot dog, has just committed suicide...

[juliajem32]

LOL he did commited suicide XD

[Readinglover01]

Eww.. the cowboy with the popcorn when he showed it. :S

[anestheticroses]

weres the black people? or anybody else that isn't white?

[MaverickHunterZX]

2:19 the little boy head is manipulated...scary

[Sonicisgod]

"I'll slide into your oven fresh bun!" O_O

[CookieL69]

The hot dog bit is disturbing.

[iamsmert123]

I would shoot myself if a cowboy came out of a movie.
