Macy's: 150 Years

[kp1zza]

anyone know where to find the song or what it is?

[MJLoverAngie]

I love Macy's except for the fact that they sell fur apparel.

[petey8887]

I really love this commercial

[2it2ga]

This commercial is great!! I'm a sucker for pop culture collages

[nightmarevalkyrie]

I didn't know kanye west did a commercial for Macy's awesome.!!

[sues296]

Macy's is down the tubes & perverted. What next men in womens bathrooms? Macy's has fired a Christian woman for refusing to violate her religious beliefs. Her offense? She prevented a man dressed as a woman from entering the women's dressing room. According to Liberty Counsel, Natalie Johnson says she saw the young man walk out of the women's fitting room and politely told him that he could not go back in because it was for women only.

[sues296]

The cross-dressing young man claimed that he is a "female." Johnson said that he was wearing make-up and girl's clothing, but clearly he was a male. The cross-dresser was accompanied by five other individuals.The group argued with expletives that Macy's is LGBT-friendly, to which Johnson replied that Macy's is also non-discriminatory toward religion, and that it would go against her religious beliefs to lie that he was a woman or compromise with homosexuality.

[sues296]

The LGBT agenda has become the theater of the absurd.TAKE ACTIONEmail Macy's President Terry Lundgren and urge him to immediately apologize to Natalie, reinstate her position with Macy's and put safeguards in place to protect women customers from men who would enter their dressing areas.Personally call Macy's headquarters at 513-579-7000 and express your outrage at this injustice to female employees and customers.Jim Sluzewski 513-579-7764 Media Relations646-429-5213.

[cstoczyn]

@c00ki3bit3r Thumb Up!

[mikeyuschock]

What movie is that from at 0:37

[TechForThought]

Now Macy's isn't really macys...it's a morphing blob of what used to be Americas department stores

[jeff200614]

Working at macys sucks ass... Get an account and you get coupons in the mail for 24% interest on those credit cards smh

[jefferios]

DA MAGIC OF KANYE KNOWM SAYIN

[FesterNScab]

The only thing magical about Macy's is how my money disappears out of my account due to the high interest rate credit cards (aka loyalty cards because they steal from their loyal customers).

[damper520]

You can get $500 Macys gift!

@autodesign200 Thanks

[cbaums]

best commercial ever.

[Snickles11]

I love this commercial, it's frikin amazing

[butterpoop]

0:37 my first day working at Macy's (from the movie Mannequin)

[marcosmarinheiro]

I had been in the US and visited Macy's. So good, so many stuffs...

[AshCosgrove]

Kanye West nearly ruins this commercial. It's like, here's all these American icons, and here's Kanye, a man who called the president a racist and ruined Taylor Swift's biggest moment in life. But alas, I still adore this commercial, even if there is 2 seconds of idiocy.

[UltraKid808]

@AshCosgrove,

Kanye=Greatest artist out right now and what's so bad about having an opinion? Plus everybody had the same feeling towards Bush....Fuck Bush!

[AshCosgrove]

@UltraKid808 Racist.

[UltraKid808]

@AshCosgrove,

smfh...How am I a racist??? Because I don't like George Bush??? You're not even making sense right now.

[AshCosgrove]

@UltraKid808 Oh, you didn't like that accusation did you? You didn't like it because it isn't true, is it?

[UltraKid808]

@AshCosgrove,

George Bush fucked Katrina over...Wether he's racist or not nobody knows but I can see how Kanye felt that way...and the whole Taylor Swift thing was blown waaay out of porportion...Yes it was the wrong time to speak his mind but that one thing did not ruin Taylor Swift's life infact he made her relevant for two more years. The only problem Kanye seems to have is speaking his mind at the wrong time and drinking...Other than that he's pretty cool & his music is awesome!

[themitch1966]

@UltraKid808 I suppose if you like his kind of "music" that Kanye is kind of talented and entertaing. His problem is this: When singing/rapping- open mouth. The rest of the time? SHUT THE FUCK UP!

[UltraKid808]

@themitch1966,

What??? I'm not sure if you're dissing me or Kanye......

[themitch1966]

@UltraKid808 LOL sorry Ultra!! It's kanye. If he would just shut up. He is apparently considered to have quite a bit of talent. But he's pushing to the point that his legacy is going to be that he was a drunk who would shut his damn mouth.

[UltraKid808]

@themitch1966,

Kanye stays away from anything that has to do with the media now...He's all about the music now...When's the last time you heard about Kanye doing something crazy? See?......Anyways, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy >>>

[evn933]

THIS IS STILL THE GREATEST AND BETTER YET MOST CREATIVE COMMERCIAL I HAVE SEEN TO DATE...THAT SHOWS THE VALUE OF THE COMPANY AND HOW IT IS MAKING AN ATTEMPT TO STAND THE TEST OF TIME ESPECIALLY WITH THE HARD ECONOMIC STATE WE ARE IN

[SnickleFritz79]

I love Macys. It is a department store so much more affordable than Dillard's.

[astriker79]

I LOVE This commercial

[garciroshima0708]

wha this mashees?????

[thefattestcat360]

I love this commercial! aaaaahhhh!

[aznguymetal]

Now most Macy product are made in China, stealing American jobs.

[MrCoworker]

Its just amazing to see how much influence macy's has.

[ereyes312]

This commercial is being aired again this year.  Just saw it on TV a few days ago. :)

[McCaitlin72]

gosh I love this so much!! it makes me so happy and everytime I see it I feel like I might cry!!

[ninjasamurai12]

Dam 150 years. hmmm not surprised

[ashe984]

I love the Johnny Carson part

[boogersanchez]

Being from New York, born and raised for 27 years, this commercial really got to me. Exceptional.

[ereyes312]

I love this commercial!

[kaykaybbay]

My mom and I go to Macys atleast twice a week.

Macys has been apart of my life:)

I love this commercial.

[TheMoviefan1996]

The Best Commercial EVER.

[MsBoosiebabi]

I brought a dooney bag for the 150 new years

and the last one to have it. great video

[DarkRubberDucky]

I don't shop there, but this is the best commercial I have ever seen. But then there is the Coca-Cola commercial float which makes me laugh.

[fireflies411]

150 years of macy's and they haven't opened one in Canada? I think i'd shop there if they opened one...

[charmingal299]

Beautiful just beautiful

[themitch1966]

Who are the 3 guys with Bob Hope?

[bigchurp]

tears..... i remember when it first opened.....

[cascadeandfall]

this commercial is... just..... brilliant.

very well done, macys.

[ERROLCUSTERFLYNN4EVR]

macy's terry lundgren should be selling used mens underwear on maxwell street in chicago.

[ipodGirl1515]

My Favorite Commercial of All Time. My NAME is Macy! =D

[iGraeginatorTv]

I love Macy's! I go there all the time one at River Oaks Mall!

[butterpoop]

awesome commercial! Makes me feel good about working for the company now!

[kevincecotti]

re: comments related to the movie Mannequin. According to imdb and wikipedia, film locations for this movie included the Wanamaker's flagship department store in Philadelphia. Many years ago, Wanamaker's became part of the Hecht's division of May Department Stores, and the chain is now part of Macy's, so in a round-about way, they are showing a Macy's store.

[J0HN91]

gotcha, thanks

[J0HN91]

They showed a clip from mannequin in there... Which took place in a ficticious department store

[NekoNoobRawrs]

xD thats meh name :3

[MrWinkler1992]

i buyed a blue jeans there

[RealMrsJohnnyDepp]

I love this commecial! Does anyone know where the clip at 0:27 - 0:29 is from? What film? The actors look awfully familar but can't seem to place it?

[lhs1987]

Not sure about the woman, but the man is Ceaser Romero, who was on Batman and Falcon Crest. I just watched a Man from U.N.C.L.E episode that takes place at Macy's. I'm surprised they didn't use a clip from that episode.

[RealMrsJohnnyDepp]

Thank you! Mr. Ceaser Romero, the film looks pretty much from the 40's the actress I'm still not sure of her though? Interesting, thanks again!

[lav5510]

The film that part is from is Week-End in Havana

[RealMrsJohnnyDepp]

Thanks so much !!

[nostalgiajunkie70]

I notice Estelle Getty and Andrew McCarthy from the movie Mannequin. Dont recall Macys having anything to do with it. Maybe it has to do with Macys taking over the store where it was filmed.

[xxAblyssaxx]

OMG itz kanye west at 0:46 ! !

<3

[swingstate]

it's probably stupid to get a little choked up over a commercial but, it happened...I really loved it. Everythings better at Macy's; We're known as the quality store. Hey!

[DailyH2O]

i love commercials like this. Like the generations of pepsi commercial.

[myfrees]

is this from the FRIENDS episode when the Underdog balloon escapes?

I LOVE THIS COMMERCIAL!!!

[kevincecotti]

The balloon segment is from a Coca Cola commercial called "It's Mine"

[notredame4320]

AMERICA!!

[ardra71]

Any ad that features footage of Bob Hope, Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon is something that's impossible to not love.

[senoritaquack]

y do i get choked up when i see this?

[sophaloph1991]

You're not alone!

[kosimitz]

@senoritaquack It's probably the music that does it

[FalcorProductions]

@senoritaquack ikr?

[cstoczyn]

@FalcorProductions What Does IKR Mean?

[FalcorProductions]

@FalcorProductions "I know, right?"

[luv2dance88]

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LDT2010]

A true classic!

[butterpoop]

one of the nicest commercials I have seen, really cool how they went from the beginning of pop culture all way to today. really says a lot about the loyalty and quality of the company!

[ashe984]

I love the johnny carson part I was wondering what episode of the tonight show was it on. I knew Ed Mcmahon what a great man.

[igo2jsu]

I absolutely love this commercial.

[cjbcastillo]

Can anyone tell me the name of the actor at 0:28 (the one who is asking "what is macy's")

[igo2jsu]

@cjbcastillo - the actor you're asking about is Cesar Romero from the movie "Weekend In Havana." Hope this helps. : )

[cjbcastillo]

Thank you so much!!! This helps so much!!!!

[lionsgate12345]

In response to CJBCASTILLO's question who the actor is that asks 'What is Macy's?'' It's the latin actor Caesar Romeo. He is better known as the actor who played "The Joker" in the 1960's series "Batman."

[J0HN91]

I love Macy's! Flagshipped in NYC, headquartered in Cincinnati!

[JamesWorley]

Kanye West, in the Macy's commercial?

0:46 , but why?

[bubblinbrownsugar616]

It's from a clip from one of those "The Magic of Macy's" commercial from a couple of years ago when he was at his peek and before he went coo-coo. Sad. :(

[bubblinbrownsugar616]

Whoops! wrong PEAK! LOLOL!

[J0HN91]

kanye west hates macys, cause its owned by crackers

[UltraKid808]

@JamesWorley,

Because he's one of the biggest artist of all time and he shops at Macy's.....His video for Heard Em Say takes place in a Macy's store. watch it!

[ohmybentley]

FU*k Macys. Stupid corporation.

[jordandavidfilm]

0:22 That is Orson Welles correct?

He does look very similar to Willy Geist, a msnbc news anchor

anyways, great actor may he R.I.P.

[lacouerfairy]

Yup, it's Orson Welles. That's from an episode of I Love Lucy (he's talking to Desi Arnaz).

[mywaymn]

I always watch this commercial very closely! I love seeing  Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz!!!

[LunasAzules]

I really love this commercial. It takes me back to a simpler time in America, where things were better. Very nostalgic.

[HarryPotterFanSite]

i absolutly love this commercial<3

[basteed]

I'm always stunned when I have friends tell me they don't watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! That parade is a staple of my holiday...it really makes the day special to watch the parade with family and friends. This commercial makes me tear up/smile every time I watch it!

[Dylan1191698]

Holidays just arent the same anymore... it's really sad.

[casey62442]

tim gunn <333

[lionsgate12345]

Sheer brilliance! Such a beautifully crafted commercial that makes me feel warm all over. Long live the legacy of MACYS- America's finest and most venerable departmen t store. SHOP MACYS!!!!

[ajatkinson2004]

This commercial almost brings a tear to the eye to see all the nostalgia behind it!

Very engaging and thought provoking.

[hoochis]

i was trying to think of a way to put it, but i couldn't have put it any better myself ahatkinson2004.

[RetroJersey7591]

love this comercial!

does anyone know what the bob hope santa clip is from?

[ikevyoiPhone3G1996]

Does anyone know what's the name of that silent movie at the beging and who stars in it any famouse silent actor

[LordlyJeremy]

I think the first clip was just newsreel footage, then a static photo of the store. After that was Charlie Chaplin in "Modern Times".

[huntsley]

what orson welle's movie is that?

[UNCtarheelvids]

what a great commercial

[derekjeterkid2]

what song is this?

[tru3s]

i absolutely adore this commerical

[TheIrishCurse05]

Macy's on 34th street will be replaced by Wal-Mart of Target in the next 10 years. If they are lucky, sovereign wealth will retain the store as a one off location.

The age of Macy's is long gone.

[totalfanpire14]

this is awesome!! all tv shows have macys in them. lol lucy 2!!! lol cool commercial.

[DanaRocksYourSoc]

I love this commercial!

[HJP3131]

I love Natalie Wood @ 0:16

[Capt777harris]

I'll say this about Macy's, I worked at Sears last year, and was treated like a psychotic basket case. The people there were paranoid scum half the time. My coworkers at Macy's are a more normal lot, and a lot better mannered.

The treat me like a normal human being. Not like my school, or the three jobs I had before over the last 5 years, including a grocery store I used to shop at.

I hope Macy's continues to thrive and do well.

[cascadeandfall]

this gives me the chilles..... in a good way i mean haha

[kriegkriegkrieg]

KANYE WEST!

[doworksondgl]

I love this commercial=) I love Lucy and Seinfeld are my favorite parts, and tim gunn=)

[raichu06]

Even though I like Macy's I refuse to shop their on principle! I miss my Foley's stores =[ Now they are all Macy's and it's just not the same...

[happysmiley28]

I absolutely love this commercial! I don't feel as weird about that now that I have read some of these other comments, lol.

Btw, if anybody has the Macy's Christmas commercial from 2005, PLEASE post it! That's another great one, and I've been looking for it for ages.

[animenice]

wow this commercial is awesome, i really like the rising feel of it

[Suszball81]

I don't even live in New York and this is still my favorite commercial.

[jcluvsme09]

omg i was a memeber of the macy's thanksgiving parde in 2008 with the macy's great american marching band! best experience of my life!

[puupydoger]

I wonder how it was, I'd like to know!

[diaryofAALIYAH]

wat waz da video kanye waz in

[synnr666]

y downt u lurn sum inglish?!

[M1I2K3E4567]

Macy's is overpriced and outdated!

[NARTOFAN7843]

lies!

[puupydoger]

you really should watch the other commercials and see why YOUR WRONG!

Macy's RULES!

[NARTOFAN7843]

huh? what are u talking? i love maceys!

[Capt777harris]

Macy's is a decent company. Even so, I'd like to leave to pursue my dreams.

[grazon]

Was that Cesar Romero that asks "What is Macy's?"

[gdt928]

That's him alright...who's the blonde actress he's talking with?

[grazon]

I'm not sure.

[gdt928]

Alice Faye

[bjorn4tennis]

I love this commerical, its my favorite store and i love it. this commerical really shows it's power and how it means so much to everyone of its customers. a great commerical

[bandmsfgam]

I love the guy that doesn't move his teeth when he says, "What is Macy's?" BWAHAHAHAHA!

[lilacks17]

this, my darlings, is the wonder of advertising. aren't they good at what they do? I'm writing my college class advertising final about it and it still gets to me!

[dialjake851]

They forgot the Macy's ref in Will and Grace b/t Karen and Rosario

[bluedevilplaya11]

What Macy's commercial is Kanye in?...He appears are the end of this commercial but ive never seen it.

[RaulValdovinos]

there is a possibility kanye's clothing line "Pastelle" will be retailed at Macy's in early 2009....

[motormouth326]

It's not a commercial. His video Heard Em Say was shot at their 34th Street store.

[MzShabazz]

It was from his video "heard them say" but they changed the video into that cartoon with Adam Levine.

[Maximbruce77]

What is Macy's?

[Pedro4life09]

what is kanye doing at macys

[StrengthAFI]

kanye's presence is ultimate what the fuck are u talkin about. he doesn't have to do anything..its iconic now.

[GoggleMan25]

what music video is that from

[Hatchetboy9011]

kanye's appearance is worthless.

[thewastedfreaks]

they need him on there, for p.c. reasons lol

[gamepro103]

This comerical is my favorite commercial. It is so inspiring (even though i don't know what for).

[cindy0254]

wow it actually gave me goosebumps lol am i the only one ?

[gamepro103]

lol no isn't it beautiful like the Olimpic commericials?

[itszeebaybee]

lmao... whenever i see the condensed version of this... i die laughing at how pointless kanye's presence seems to be.

lol

[nickmacd89]

what movie is at 00:30 i laugh my ass off every time i see it

[Aerick2281]

looks like shirley maclaine.
