This is before my time . The problem is i grew up with the Flintstones on TV color version .Today with cigarettes the way they are just feels weird watching this commercial.
beautiful, man! i love this commercial!! but damn, with all the politically correct people posting negativity towards it, its no wonder they banned cigarette comercials! lol im a boxer so i had ta quit, but who the hell am i to tell some kid he shudnt hawk a winston from his old mans' pack? hey, i dinnet makem taste so good....like a cigarette should!
Times change, people didn't know as much about cigarettes then as they did today. You can't throw insults at something that happened so long ago. It's just a part of history now.
oh...my god...i heard about cigarette companies selling their products to kids but never actually believed it...oh my god...this is an atrocious video, and these people deserve to rot in fucking hell
The 60's were the days not like today with incompetent bueracrates we elect to D.C. that always make everything worse. The 50's and 60's were the good days. I'd rather see ads for Cancer sticks than ads telling us that Cancer sticks are bad.
Wow....."Winston taste good like a cigarette should." Kids like rhyming, and parents watch cartoons with their kids, so they targeted both at the same time.
God, some of you people are real snivelers. Besides, when this was made, it was a Prime Time ADULT show based on the Honeymooners. It was not a kids show, so they were not targetting kids, YOU LIBERAL MORONS.
@VictoryRepublican I was seven years old when I saw this commercial in prime time.
They were targeting kids. I was a kid at the time and I watched this show and I saw this commercial. Shove the Limbaughtista horseshit up your fat wingnut ass.
@VictoryRepublican They were targeting kids, my mom told us she would watch it all the time. They have the flintstones on boomerrang that shows old cartoons for the FAMILY. They even made a cartoon called pebbles and boom boom, when they got older.
I remember it was a big family event on December 31, 1970 in the USA to watch the last legal TV cigarette commercials. My favorites were the Benson&Hedges,' although they all had catchy jingles.
"The Flintstones" was intended as a "cartoon for grownups".
It was originally scheduled in an 8:30 P.M. ET/PT time period.
And, as seen here, was initially sponsored by Winston Cigarettes.
But at the end of the show's first season, and under pressure from those who said that "this is still a kids' show", ABC canceled Winston's sponsorship and announced that no further cigarette spots would be allowed on this (or any) animated program.
@FranciiLuv Really? Actually the knowledge of the harmful effects from smoking tobacco was actually quite well known back then. People knew it was bad for you, their just hadn't been any movements by overactive mothers to call for the government to harshly tax and restrict the sale and advertisement of cigarettes.
@tankslayer1 well u got to remember back in the 30's they didnt no cigarettes were as bad as they are and plus the companies didn't put all these nasty chems in them like they do now
@cpinto72 no, more like before they /put all sorts of chemicals/ in ciggarettes.
and their only "cancer sticks" because they MAKE them that way. before it was straight up tobacco. now, especially with the whole "fire saftey" they put in ciggarettes, its been worse.
Quite interesting. Nowadays smokers are more hated than Bin Laden!
I think back then it was not a good thing to air this, but today has gone too far against cigarettes. Forbidden...forbidden...forbidden...even outdoors. That's just craziness.
hey now some people like to smoke and some people dont, everyone has a different opinion! and the winston cigarette company sponsered the flintstones for a good few years.
I find it hillarious how back then everyone smoked and today people act like its evil. I miss the days when people were more light hearted. Everyone's so uptight today. 21 century sucks.
I watch this Jeepers media and saw a tab that lead to fred and everyone worst enemy smoke but then it showed this!!! Im not gonna follow him on twitter

@SaleckTheDragon
Not really. The Flintstones aired from 1960 to 1966. This is not a "1950's cigarette commercial..."
It aired on Friday Nights, at 8:30pm on ABC, and the audience was mostly adults. It was a prime-time show.
Not on Saturday morning when kids cartoons aired.
Back then, parents would actually PARENT and not allow kids to watch certain shows.
I know the concept sounds insane to you...
