1955 Pall Mall commercial

[webartist31]

WTF??? Is it Pale Male or Paul Maul. I have been asking for Paul Maul (Pall Mall) for decades. Anyone??

[globehunter2]

That crazy woman is sucking that cigarette like SEX? boy her eyes are as big

as tea cups.

[fromthesidelines]

That was Lucky Strike's slogan, 'Sue', during the '40s (from the same manufacturer, American Tobacco).

[fromthesidelines]

Ernest Chappell, Pall Mall's announcer during the '50s and early '60s, is heard here, 'Landon'.

[imsixftsix]

Yes, the look on the woman's face is great...she looks like she just took a hit of some intense narcotic...

[CigCityReviews]

Gotta love old television, check my pall mall unfiltered review, just seacrh CigCityReviews......haha yeh she enjoys that new longer length...

[lytrigian]

My dad used to smoke these back in the day. How come his teeth were never this white?

[hippobolak]

mmm blended 'flavour peak'. That cigarette is obviously doing the trick and synergising well with those cocaine cough drops at 0:51/ Thats kinda scary.

[SueStraka]

So round, so firm, so fully packed...so free and easy on the draw. What cigarette was it?

[purplemutantas]

@SueStraka lucky strike

[Inconseethebilletee]

And they are gay....i mean they are mild.

[TheCrimsonification]

Outstanding. I love inhaling the smokey poison deep into my lungs. Mmmmm...poison.

[LitrentaProductions]

@TheCrimsonification lol

[LandondeeL]

"WHEN THE BIG FISH IS HOOKED".....that isn't the only one who's "hooked" in this commercial [P.S.--The VO sounds like Paul Frees].

[LandondeeL]

0:51 Maybe she was thinking about half the story of greater length?

[CanadianChronic2121]

Hit that shit !

[spaxspore]

longer yes... but greater length is only half the story...

Wait ... you propositioning me?

[alzorama]

That lady's face was downright scary!

[yzardil]

gdyby nie pall malle to bym nie rzucił palenia ;Q :))

[imamotheruckinraver]

marlboro reds are the shit! pall mall is good too

[forester218]

Say, I'll have what she's having.

[ZoHBoGB]

0:52 omg scary lol.

[jobenneitrubetsnik]

after that im going to smoke pall mall too.

[rofflemows2]

like all successful campaigns, these ads were doing double duty:

1) attracting new customers by offering a "superior product"

2) making current customers crave their product (any smoker watching this video knows what i mean, lol)

ingenious, huh =P lol

[rofflemows2]

@ksb100pr uh...people kill THEMSELVES off, put blame where it belongs =P nobody MAKES you smoke or drink or do anything else. you don't like the cool, refreshing taste of an unfiltered cigarette (coughh), then don't buy em.

do you go to the movies and buy a ticket, then say, "God, that movie was HORRIBLE!! Hollywood is responsible for making me stupid"?

do you do shots and drive intoxicated, and later say, "Fuckin Jack Daniels got me locked up for making their drinks alcoholic!!"? =/

[falangistasiempre]

I don't like Pall Mall that much, I prefer Marlboro.

[arnuxii]

"pill mill" .... I always thought it was pall mall

[video77cy]

did people actually believe this B.S. 50 years ago??

[malcommerriweather]

And they are MILD!

[PennStateFreeTime]

O-face

[B0b0doggy]

Pall Mall can't spall

[Bonobo3D]

"Great length is only half the story."

Crazed woman smoker is hilarious! What's in that cigarette?

[ldchappell1]

That lady looked like she took a huge hit of crack with that bug-eyed expression on her face..lol

[FotoNathan1]

time they brought out a cigarette which contains healthy vitamins and vitality, and cleans your lungs out :-)

[DoobiePacker420]

@FotoNathan1 WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[10ahorn]

it is not a fucking pell mell

[KingofComputing]

@10ahorn ahhh it's speled pall mall it's pronounced pell mell

[TheCelticFox]

@lestateldiablo well thats odd, i dont...

[Sheri451]

That lady looked like she was having an orgasm!

[jamminjoe44]

Greater length is only half the story!!! Is that true ladies???

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!1

[SuckMyFarts]

smoking makes you cool :D

[litlgrey]

TESSSSSSSSSSS - tify to the Cancer Gods! Whoopeeeee!!!

[crownprussian]

Ahhh..back in the day when America was a free country....

[TheBackOfTheBoat]

I smoke pall malls. they do last longer but not because they have superior tobacco...they wouldnt be cheaper than all the other brands if they did.

but that's true about them being "the most imitated"- Pall Mall was the first to offer 100s, now pretty much every brand makes them.

[KingofComputing]

@TheBackOfTheBoat cheaper? are you in canada? i know t hat there pall mall are economy cigarettes but in america they're more expensive something like 8 or 9 a pack because they're considered luxury cigarettes here.

[TheBackOfTheBoat]

@KingofComputing I'm telling you man I can get a pack of pall mall reds for less than a pack of marlboro reds or camels or newports. I live in missouri which has the lowest cigarette tax in the nation, so maybe that has something to do with it. maybe there's a special tax on "luxury cigarettes" that missouri doesn't have?

[theperv01]

Hmmm ive never smoked but now i want a ciggaret. Thks to pall mall of course.

[elskerikkehat]

ahahah bad actors and 0:51 is just scarey

[Rebelyell42]

that lady dipped her cig in PCP she got some crazy look on her face when she took a puff!

[DaveWVideo]

I remember Pall Mall cigarette commercials from my childhood, and the all the announcers always pronounced the name as "Pell Mell." I never figured out why. It does look like it should be pronounced "Paul Maul."

[mostliberal]

Pail Mail WTF?! Everyone I know pronounces it "Paul Mall"

[SuperGamesLegend]

They are still the best.

[gymer15]

and now so many old folks drag around the oxegyn tanks

[1967mustanggta]

@gymer15 Never has there been so much asthema among kids who are destin to be fat and have all sorts of health problems because they live year around in a caccoon covered in plastic. The eat , sleep and breath plastic. But the popular thing is to attack cigarettes - Why? because you are told to. Just like you are being told to be a queer or a race mixer is Alright! I prefer the good old days when everyone knew their place and smoked there.

[gymer15]

@1967mustanggta So we have more oxagyn users pulling there little tanks around with tubes up there nose to look forward to in the years to come....thanks sunshine!!

[1967mustanggta]

@gymer15 You keep sucking big brother's dick/ You believe this line of shit 

God Damn Democrats

[cugamer]

@1967mustanggta Umm, proper response to a troll. Fuck you, you racist, homophobic piece of shit.

[1967mustanggta]

@cugamer I'm a troll because I'm not a bed wetting communist like you huh?

Fuck off to you too and I hope you are dead by Christmas!

[theearlyfrost]

They make you smell like your dead grandfather, but damn are they a good smoke.

[LODGE4444]

Are you sure there was only tobacco in her cigarette ??

[smautomat]

BUT are they MILD?

Oh. Never mind.

[anamarvelo]

0:51 damn thats some good stuff

[sassylilfilly]

LOVE HER FACE at 0:51...omg

[teceyS3]

Smile~ I vaped a blackberry champagne flavored e-cig while watching this :)

[graycloud057]

I think the lady's cigarette was dipped in cocaine, watch those eyes! She is on fire baby!

[DXWXMX44]

she seemed just a wee bit too happy about the little cigarette, no?

[teokal4]

i love theeem <3

[teceyS3]

Man, I just HAD to add this vid to my favorites :):)

[datzfast]

@lestateldiablo i think your jacking off . its just difficult.

[x0x0ke]

I wanted a cigarette but not a PALL MALL...Yuck! lol

[trom031]

dam sh got happy 0.50

[TripleRainbowify]

@trom031 I think we all knows what happens next.

[whatanightmare1]

They have REALLY white teeth considering they are smokers....

[wistoncap]

I never knew it was pronounced "pell mell" always thought it was just as it is spelled

[enzo1st]

she smoked some weed before the commercial

[Guardian208]

Ah, when life was simpler and it wasn't a crime to smoke a cigarette.

[phonegalfitness]

that's woman's facial expression was a bit much lol..

[MegaLazi]

@phonegalfitness Lol yea i know, its hillarious XD

[sneezabonk]

@dervollhorst They probably put a special additive in that one

[Janovjev]

0:54 O_O scorpion's sister?xD

[MatthewDavidParr]

I live in the UK and cig prices are absolutely insane over here. You could be looking at spending up to £7.30 or $12 for a pack of something premium like Marlb Reds or Benson & Hedges

They are the 2nd cheapest brand at the moment, aside a nasty brand called Mayfair, which, when I tried them, activated my gag reflex, and I lost my steak dinner. Pall Mall are amazing, they combine really good tobacco taste with very low prices, I just picked up my first pack - Brilliant!

[inkey2]

@MatthewDavidParr Thats interesting....you like Pall Malls. Thats a real old "yank" brand....or at least old to us over here. I have always been a lover of un-filtered cigarettes, I have tried them all....camels, lucky strike, old gold, philip morris...and by far Pall Malls are my favorite. Sometimes it's hard to find a "fresh" pack as they are not a big seller anymore. You can always put the "open pack" in a sealed jar over night with a small damp sponge in it....next day it will be fresh

[warrentowe]

Pel Mel?

[cheeriosinabowl]

LOL -- what a fake smile/laugh that woman makes after her 1st drag.

She probably was ready to cough her guts up.

[FrobblOo]

it is so fucked up that cigarettes aren't allowed to be advertised for anymore in TV but alcohol is still ok... alcohol is one of the most dangerous drugs!!

[sleep1937]

MY GOD! they sure as hell don't look mild from the look on her face!!!

[gravedigr12]

loooool its funny cause pall mall taste horrible you find them all over half smoked at my school cause no one likes them

[cynic2all]

"Mild" FTR was the code word tobacco companies adopted in response to the growing medical research that smoking is dangerous. They knew smokers were becoming more aware, so they could no longer point to some study of their own claiming THEIR product is safe. So putting filtering methods into the cigarette which somewhat restricted the immediate intake was described as "mild." Of course, to a nicotine addict, all that meant in practice was that he had to smoke ~more~ cigarettes tto get his fix.

[calindesmoines1]

It is correctly pronounced Pell Mell. Always has been. Pall Mall (Pell Mell) is a famous street in London where tobacco traders sold their products to pipe, cigar

and cigarette manufacturers. Pall Mall (Pell Mell) has had three different owners in the U.S. It is now sold under a different name in Canada and is still a premium brand in England. Anyone who really works for the Pall Mall (Pell Mell) parent

company knows the coreect way to pronounce the name of the product, Pell Mell.

[charliemurphy69]

i work for pall mall and we pronounce it pall mall, not pell mell

[ShaDowZCinema]

outstanding!..... and there mild

[afanofoldradio1]

pell mell or pall mall which is it????

[pupsenok]

@afanofoldradio1

Pall Mall is correctly pronounced /pell mell/. There are lots of cases where spelling and pronunciation in English do not match.

[spacemouse1]

How can he possibly land a Marlin fish after smoking all those cigarettes ??

[spacemouse1]

How can he possibly hope to land a Marlin fish after doing all that smoking???

[metalwolfie69]

That woman is scary...

[foofynono04]

0:48

[Electricspaceodyssey]

man whats wrong with that ladys eyes at 0:51 O.o

[Squad2ND]

0:52 - The smile and grin of El Diablo!

[Zoogle88]

pel mel? wtf

[BellaDonna49]

My mom died at the age of 51 because she chose to smoke. And she smoked Pall Malls.

The lady in the ad is over acting !!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH !!!!!

[Ciaranr95]

i love it how he says, and they are mild, like anyone cares.

[digitalwatcher]

LOL looks like she had an orgasm .....her big EYES after taking a drag.

[elc1960]

The look on the woman's face when she takes a drag reminds me of the facial expressions on the actors and actresses in "Reefer Madness" - the nostril flare, the wild-eyed expression . . . disturbing.

[itisnttoohard]

Mild or wild?

[ToManifest]

I was shocked when my Dad told me that he used to be able to light up anywhere....the movies, hospitals, and even in grocery stores.

[OlegKostoglatov]

@ToManifest You must be young, I also remember smoking being allowed on airplanes and big ashtrays in the banks where you lineup for a teller, and ashtrays in the waiting room at the hospital too. Now they want to ban smoking in cars in some places in Canada, starting with you can't do it if there are kids in the car, next outside in parks, pretty soon you won't be able to smoke in your own house, this is going too far the other way.

[ToManifest]

Can't believe I am making this joke...

"is longer, yes, but greater length is only half the story!"

That's what she said!

What more do you want ladies?

[stratosl]

It seems weird that there were cigarette commercials!

[RichHartley19671]

I remember my best friend's mother always mispronouncing it while she called up the store with her list to be delivered: "...and two cartons of Pall Mall reds." I considered her quite well-read--she was in college about the time these commercials aired. I now wonder why she didn't say it the way the advertisers in these ads did.

[g2a2ck]

its actually starting to piss me off people are pronoucing this pall mall and not pell mell. but who cares

[epidemiccapecity09]

HAHAHAHAHA 0:51

[adds3566]

wtf! smells like dog shite:-)

[TheJ0llyRoger]

Outstanding!...

...And they are mild!

[Feckinpaddy29]

Having been a kid in the 50s my father always jokingly says "And they are mild."

[teceyS3]

As a kid watching these commercials and people around me smoking this brand, I always wondered why they spelled it "Pall Mall" and yet pronounced it "Pell Mell". I guess that's what the carcinogens do to your brain :)))

[RentAnEducation]

Yes, Reddit. It's pronounced Pell Mell.

[1967mustanggta]

This is all fine and good but what Pall Mall doesn't tell you is that their product is POISON! - They're all poison!

Except one - Lucky Strike.

Lucky Strike IS TOASTED! Take it from Don.

[Virus2020]

@1967mustanggta

I hate it when people say stupid shit like....menthol cigarettes have fiber glass, and certain brands of cigarettes have rat poison in them, the KKK specifically made menthol cigarettes to try to poison and kill black people, no really that rumor is ancient.....there is no fiber glass in cigarettes, there is no kind of poison in cigarettes the only poison is the nicotene and the other chemicals in it that will kill you in time, and there is certainly no plot from the KKK

[inkey2]

@Virus2020 thats right, nicotene in and of it self is not poisonious. It's all the other crap the cig co's put in

[Chongit420]

@inkey2 erm? excuse me?

damn straight nicotine is poisonous, very very poisonous, if you took the nicotine from an average cigarette and injected it it would kill you several times over

hmm feel like a camel..

[inkey2]

@Chongit420 like everything else....it's the concentration that matters. Alcohol can be considered poisonous, the sun is certainly poisonous, cooking in aluminium pans is poisonous......If it's so poisonous why does it take the average smoker 30 plus years to die from it

[Chongit420]

@inkey2 Well you answered your own question..

The amount of nicotine that actually reaches your bloodstream when you smoke a cigarette is negligable when compared to the physical amount of nicotine in the tobacco leaf itself. And yes there are much more harmful things than nicotine in the world, no doubt.

But I was responding to Virus2020's comment that nicotine is not poisonous.

It is an insecticide and it is extremely poisonous.

[Virus2020]

@1967mustanggta

It's all rumors and lies!...Cigs kill, but it takes a matter of good amount of time for cigarettes to kill people...they are all the same...some taste stronger than others, some taste lighter, some taste like fruits and menthol, some are strong and some are weak....others are longer, thicker, shorter, no filter, burn fast, or burn slow.....they are all the same only minor differences of tastes...in the end they are cigarettes, and they will all lead to same result...death

[1967mustanggta]

@Virus2020 Im just playing around - What I said is based on the first Mad Men episode. Watch it on here somewhere Mad Men Lucky Strike ought to get it.

[physicsnerd63]

"Filters the smoke naturally "... yep ... I see it in tobacco plants all the time ... yep...

[ClutchStoned]

pell mell?

[FilthyYoda]

0:52 crack rush

[guytitanic]

Smoking really does stunt growth,physical and mental.

[elsangrecaliente]

Correction: "started" Sorry for the typo.

[Darrisbob1]

pail mail?

[elsangrecaliente]

No wonder kids startes smoking so young back then! They wanted to get stoned like the nice lady whos Pall Malls were obviously dipped in something special.

Before AND after sex: Smoke Pall Mall.

AND

They are mild. . .

roflmao

[Twattler]

OUTSTANDING!!!

...

*serious guy voice*

and, they are mild.

[doffi6]

Press like if you wanted a cigarette after this commercial;)

[EraOfBloodtv]

@doffi6 Thumbs up if you went and had a Pall Mall after this :)

[Decont89]

@doffi6 lol have fun with cancer if you're a smoker

[WinstonMan1000]

@doffi6

That's the point. If you saw a fast food commercial right after you'd probably want a burger.

[alexaras1313]

@doffi6 i am already smoking one so no need for thumbs up

[slushh]

wtf is a pell mell

[gfemg]

This old JOKE of a TV commercial shows how much in the DARK people were back then about HOW DANGEROUS and UNHEALLTHY it is to smoke cigarettes! The tobacco industry literally made SUCKERS out of millions of people and it poisoned billions! It took Way Too LONG for the AMA to call their BLUFF and Get on the tobacco industry's case! SMOKING KILLS! Find a much BETTER Life of Health - and - Wealth - Visit HealthyHeartHere ( Dot Com)

[TRJ22487]

also, apparently nobody in the real world has EVER correctly pronounced the name of these damn things. I mean shit.....twelve years ago every time my dad would thick-wittedly blubber "POKEYMAN" at the counter of Kay-Bee Toys, I would kind of want to smack down his ignorant ass. Now, I realize I am just as much of a fool. Even though I don't smoke and haven't for a few years, I think I'm going STRAIGHT to my nearest gas station and getting some of this Mail Pail ASAP!!

[TRJ22487]

Haha I just watched this for the first time ever on full screen so i didn't know if it had many comments or not, but I'm a moron to think I was going to get to be the first person to point out how fucking hilarious the look on her face is. She looks like instead of taking a drag off a cigarette a foot-long frozen hot-dog was actually being inserted into her ass........while on PCP!

[XxMentalMilesxX]

only kind i smoke :)

[kosy91]

By Don Draper !

[OmegaWeaponFFVIII]

[VirgilB01]

@enjoi skate 21 - Sure,mild. So mild that they burn your throat! I'd walk my last mile before smoking a Pall Mall! They're stonger than a Marlboro!

[ColonelHate]

I'll smoke to that!

[MsLittle1105]

seriously, that's how you pronounce it? Pell Mells??

[VirgilB01]

@MsLittle1105 - People pronounce it "Pell Mells" I don't know why? It should be pronounced "Pall Mall" as it is written on the package. That's what I call it.

[liquid49286]

That lady looked INSANE

[chickenandwaffles09]

Everyone looks so happy.

[MerleOberon]

She certainly loves her Pell Mells!

[markkikarkki]

Haha pause at 0:52 :D

[llongoria0]

Happyily, I quit smoking cigarettes and the cigarette companies no longer enjoy my money, and mom stopped, as well as my daughter and son. :P woot, they are going out of business.
