1950's & 60's TV Commercials

[Theburn77]

Ah, I miss the days of dancing cigarettes...

[CoolConejo]

alcseltzer can cause sudden permanent hearing loss. D: i read it one day when i was hung over and was like...Fukkkkkkk that.

[caligal2010]

the people singing that yoohoo song were so sweet and cute! made me actually want to buy that and taste it. unlike today's commercials, which only give me a headache more often than not.

[PaddySnuffles]

Rofl at the mountie commercial about alka seltzer of all things...

[candylizard101]

for the ovaltin commercial, when he was talking about the decoder, all I could think of was A Christmas Story...

Anyway, this is when tv had class, and not sluts, hoes, curse words, drugs, alcohol, and or sex

[caligal2010]

@candylizard101 exactly. if commercials like these were still on today, i might actually watch them!

[atoli16]

@caligal2010 same and i'd go out and buy the stuff too XD i love these commercials!!!

[dskrilla1]

They had such great voices in the 50's. I do believe my father had a voice like that..

[GuriyasKhana]

i love this video

[yalecheerleder]

PoP POP FITZ FITZ come on over for some FluffOH!

[yalecheerleder]

laughing squid upload!!!!! Jellyfish Step Aside!!

[MrMike3865]

Wow......... I want to joing the secret squadron and get a secret decoder ring! This video takes me back to my childhood in the 50's how and how much fun commercials like this were.

[flipside6627]

when im old and youtube is still running im ganna watch commercials that are made today lol ;D

[phoenixbrown108]

last one reminds me of anaxe commercial

[unscspartan39]

bosco sound like nutella!

[MrsClippit]

mmmmmmm can't get enough of the FLUFFO!!!

[Shimmers12790]

lol 9:22 best lip wiggle ever

[Freezer818]

Eat Sugar Smacks... or we'll send The Clown for you!

[dadnapt24]

AWWWWWWWW LITTLE SPEEDY HOW CUTE :)

[cchanderson]

If these were our first transmissions to outer space I can see why no one has contacted us yet.

[frdrcksncn]

AMC makes Mad Men look totally amazing, but when they show how the commercials they shot compared to commercials we have now..it always kind of gets me..

[mdelonas]

I can't believe my parents were alive for some of these.

[gabrielpedroso92]

DEPRESSING AS FUCK. ID SOOT MYSELFE IN THE MOUTH BACK THEN

[SophiaVIP]

@gabrielpedroso92 you have serious issues

[gabrielpedroso92]

@SophiaVIP right

[webusecom]

Bet they put so many chemicals in Bosco it made you glow at night. GOTTA LOVE THE GOOD OLD TIMES!!

[themodernenigma152]

Im here because of the fallout series.

[firedude384]

gooollllllyyy!!!

[MyRedHulk]

@hardoncrimefromRS i know! America was a happier place back in the 50s, and im 12!

[imjustpassinthru]

Check out the cool disktop computer at the "Secret Squadron" headquarters at 7:33 on the video. I'm trying to figure out what brand that is.

[policefreak33]

Now that's a commercial break.

[hardoncrimefromRS]

Why can't America be like this anymore?!?! :(

[azrRayRay]

@hardoncrimefromRS i no it was a good time crime wasn't that high every thing was cheap people were nice it jush seems like with every decade things just get worse and worse especially the people

[hardoncrimefromRS]

@azrRayRay tell me about it... nowadays all you hear on the radio is people singing about them having sex and doing drugs and stuff. There are freakin tv shows that involve the same thing. Teenagers having kids for Christ's sake! They should have some type of amendment that would ban those types of media without interfering with the freedom of speech.

[MMA94NYC]

@hardoncrimefromRS get with the times, you don't like what's on t.v or the radio don't watch or listen

[SpyroFly430]

@MMA94NYC I try but it's pretty hard to do.

[Enigma0gish]

All that ovaletne isnt good for you

[sirJELLB]

1950s was one of the worst decades ever

[thegmanyo]

It's rich! It's yellow!

[tommyg524]

these were the good ol days, now, 2011, everything and everyone is untrusting and shallow.

[pennjersey83]

This is why parents beat their kids in these days and dad was an alcoholic

[pvtandersonusarmy]

Like if you are watching this for a stupid cultural diversity class...

[RicSoin]

I might be crazy but at 5:13 i'm pretty sure she says "and extra thick" and the kids say "it's my dick" and then she says "filling of cream" right after.

[lollipopandaXD]

@RicSoin it's my pick

[RicSoin]

@lollipopandaXD I know, it was a joke.

[Haruki0014]

@RicSoin "its my pick"

[RicSoin]

@Haruki0014 yes, i know, that's why i said it sounds like. I know what it says.

[IAMSHUGO]

@RicSoin pick, not dick lol

[CoolConejo]

@RicSoin you are right! He Does! and i bet you it was intentional. no joke.

[1SONADOR3]

Cigarette comercial lol

[Yasii1]

swiss cream sandwich singing is on my nerves...yoohooohoohoohoooo wtf?

[grizzleybearz282004]

thanks for posting that was great it didnt take much to put a smile on somones face back then

[jfilesbooks]

ahhh...a simpler time and place

[fran9860]

jack larson loved having his cock sucked.

[friesandfries]

Creepy Clown

[TheBlueBelochka]

Sometimes I wished I lived in the past but then I remember I need to be specific about it because I'm black. =___=

[SongsByTheBeatles]

living in the future blows!

[djbzerk]

That's a big ass pie

[bingobongo445]

Ovaltine gives you rocket power so you can go 1400 MPH in low gear!

[bingobongo445]

Get a carton of Camel cancer sticks!

[tracer740]

@bingobongo445 Only $1.00 if you bought carton, otherwise 18 cents per pak.

[bingobongo445]

Why can't Jimmies boss eat breakfast at home, is he that pressed for time in the morning!

[yabuddy43]

50's were awesome

[55Cancri]

Youtube is a Time Machine :)

[Mrlookmyfinger]

@55Cancri so are microwaves

[tachyon1979]

Whats with the 60's and Alka-Seltzer commercials, what the hell were they ingesting?

[soco13466]

@tachyon1979 Alka Seltzer.

[EmBeesWeb]

Funny bad soap commercial that probably aired only late at night. Sugar smacks are still around but I doubt you'd look like or feel like Superman if thats what you had for breakfast everyday. The others are pushing yellow shortening and creamy cookies (lard?) and cigarettes (with a kid in the commercial) that thankfully aren't around anymore.

[vpfan207]

DRIVES WIVES....WICKEEEED!

[flmuse]

effective advertising, i'm going to get some ovaltine



[ssjvegetadoragon]

@flmuse I agree.  Bring me some ovaltine!

[003spartan]

guess i am the only fallout fan here (pip boy :) )

[TheRandomkid321]

I wosh i had a time machine. That. made you invincible or invisible at your own will. Like. Cheats in a video game. And you could go back anythime you wanted. Oh man id go to tutankhamuns era with a vcr and record his death. it. may or may not include me.

[sorcerio]

2:05 Buffout? hmm... nope

[kitkatcat]

if someone told me that relief is a swallow away i think i would be scared

[LastCaress7]

Wow cigarrette commercial! Its crazy how cigarrette ads on tv are pretty much illegal.

[theajshowification]

were swiss cream sandwithces oreos?

[VengeanceIsMine79]

The US was obviously a much better place to live without FORCED MULTICULTURALISM, POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, and without being under FULL ZIONIST JEW CONTROL like it is now...The White man back then brought home the bacon and everything worked out right...Today, the US is nothing more than a punching bag and a tool for ISRAEL and the FEDERAL RESERVE to turn. WE ARE NOW THE UNITED STATES OF SUCKERS serving the ambitions of the NEW WORLD ORDER ELITE!!!

[kareeji]

@VengeanceIsMine79 man, shut you fucking mouth. seeing all the brainwashing and whitewashing in these commercials makes me sick. TV is trash. this proves that TV has ALWAYS been trash. go outside.

[VengeanceIsMine79]

@kareeji Obviously you're inside or you wouldn't reply keyboard commando.

[mas92]

0:50 OH GOD, NO!

[gfine2000]

The Sugar Smacks commercial is too funny!. Today they took the word "Sugar" off the box and replaced it with "Golden" or "Honey" just to deceive you even further. The cereal was garbage then and it's garbage now.

[regulatorzone]

Get Kellog's new Sugar Bombs, where it gives you those extra Action Points for those V.A.T.S. kills.

[Robsx33]

i love how cheesy everything is.

[Gnillob802]

Watch for Buster Keaton as the Mountie.

[strangelylucky]

looks at these ads.

looks at todays ads.

shit

[JoshuaNassir2]

Anyone else think of George Costanza when the Bosco commercial came up?

[APocketOfTime]

Despite drinking ovaltine five times a day, my gang refused to back me when I challenged the head crip. Now I have to use a mobility scooter. Thanks, Nestle!

[savethelephantnow]

everything's so fattening and bad for you :D

[chewbaccapasto]

Hey, why are there never any black people in these 1950s comm-

Ohhh. Right...

[785284th]

@chewbaccapasto Hey, moron, you didn't see many black people in 1950's commercials because they were about 10.1% of the population. And the advertisers were mostly concerned with selling things to the majority, not pandering to what were small segments of the population. But no, for you it was some type of grand conspiracy.

[chewbaccapasto]

@785284th We've never met. We've never spoken. You know nothing about me as a person. You have no right to judge me like that after reading a short comment of mine. All you know about me is I didn't know as much about advertising and ethnic diversity in the 1950s as you did. Does that make me a moron? No it does not.

[785284th]

@chewbaccapasto You viewed a video, broadly focused on the 1950's and your only observation is about race. Based on that comment, you are a one dimensional, obsessive fool on this topic. On that basis, it's proper to characterize you as a moron. Or you could be more properly described as a racist moron. And I have every right to judge you on what you write, and I've done that.

[ibaxmamamy]

tang !! epic

[KawaiiMooMoo]

I'm hungry. DAMN YOU BOSCO!

[Aquadreamify]

I'm 12 and I pretty much would do ANYTHING to go to the 50's

[sagcanaqu]

the clown on the box of sugar smacks is creepy

[chanse117]

Oh man, the last commercial of Lifebuoy soap was worth the all the rest!

[ccpoiry]

Swiss Cream Sandwiches - The first Oreos.

[iMCEiht]

[Purdonnnnn1873]

@iMCEiht Same here.

[MsScotti8]

@iMCEiht - I'm assuming you're a guy..? And super into life without the internet..?

[MsScotti8]

@iMCEiht - I'm assuming you're a guy..? And super into life without the internet..?

[iMCEiht]

@MsScotti8 i'm a guy yes, and what?

[djfan7310]

Dancing smokes...i bet the PC nazis are having a fit now that this is on the internet. lmao!

[scramble0gamble]

@jackram2h2 dude.... We should be best friends, no homo.

[jackram2h2]

what i wouldnt give to go back to 1955 with $20 in my pocket and walk into a malt shop put a nickel in the jukebox, play this and "why do fools fall in love" sit down and eat a burger and a malt and still have enough to see a movie,buy a glass bottle of coke, a snickers bar, an old army helmet from a surplus store! meeta girl who isnt wearing cut off shorts and listening to fake music but wears a nice dress and is respectable. i'm only 13 and thats all i think about. I was born too late....

[12potatos]

@jackram2h2 Me too my friend...Me too

[yabuddy43]

@jackram2h2 Im 14 and thts all I think bout it, times then were so much better, and the music was amazing, there is very few of us.

[chainz094]

@jackram2h2 I know exactly how you feel buddy!

[jellybeaners08]

@jackram2h2

[johnxaviere]

@jackram2h2 ed in 1955? you were reqd tok wear old army helmuts?uire

[NoamTube]

@jackram2h2

Ye but when you go to work your salary would be about 60 bucks a week.

[jackram2h2]

@NoamTube True, nut that amount of money would be equal to today's minimum wage.

[grizzleybearz282004]

@jackram2h2 you have red my mind

[TheFavorites09]

@jackram2h2 feel the sameway



[IMABACHELORTILLIDIE]

@jackram2h2

Couldn't really do that though.Your $20 bill is different than what they had in 1955.You couldn't really own gold so you'd have to work your ass off.

[jackram2h2]

@IMABACHELORTILLIDIE True. I made a mistake while typing this.

[IMABACHELORTILLIDIE]

@jackram2h2

Don't worry.It's the spirit that counts..I'd prefer growing up in the 1950s than now.

[nathanissartel]

@jackram2h2 dude im 13 too and i completly agree with u the 50's r awesome and we were born too late

[pconley22]

LOL Bosco. George Costanza!

[DeadIslandTrailers]

i drank MILO and Ovaltine all the time as a kid; still drink Ovaltine though.

[SaturnEternity]

Lifebuoy > Axe Body Spray.

[adambelfast1]

[peanutboy0921]

It's 3am and I'm laying in bed watching this. What a way to kill time

[Skitop93]

Relief is just a swallow away...  Am I really the only one with a dirty enough mind to get this?

[auaiao9]

@Skitop93 you're not the only one, lol, but commercials were different back then.

[schallrd1]

I didn't know about the secret squadron but it was a secret.

[schallrd1]

Get me some of that Fluffo. Cronkite didn't stoop to this.

[njguy81]

So get a pack ... nah fuck that ... get a carton. Like this if you smoke an Old Gold with a glass of spiked Ovaltine in the cockpit of the secret squadron shuttle watchin that housewife from lifebouy soap pole dance.

[MsSuzyQ88]

[gmbrat2002]

[Alacazam777]

4:14

You know that you're desperate for adjectives when you try to sell your product buy telling what color it is.

[wutang61]

@Alacazam777 you do realize the video was in black and white correct?



[Alacazam777]

@wutang61 Yeah, but how does telling the customers that increase sales?

[Alacazam777]

During the first ad I was thinking, "This isn't so bad, it's just really cheesy..."

But then, 0:48 came. AAAHHHHH!

[C1TeamMidNight]

9:10 - First Axe commercial ever.

[3hree6ix]

[visor109]

[MsAsianNinja]

Nice to see tootsie pops been around for so long.

[qwertasdcfghjklmo24z]

@MsAsianNinja Since 1931 according to wikipedia.

[MsAsianNinja]

@qwertasdcfghjklmo24z cool...

[hownekromantik]

Yes, but how many licks does it take to get to the center?

[powerzap]

If companies started making comercials like this again, the recession would stop instantly

[Anarchist666slipknot]
