CLASSIC TV COMMERCIAL - 1960s - SLINKY #1

[kit1katty]

I wish the kids were like they back then today. They weren't all grabby for all that video-game, 1st person shooter, Steve Job, stuff. They found fun in simple, fun toys and imagination.

[FeaRReacti0nz]

i wish i lived back then all the stuff was so kool ~.~

[FeaRReacti0nz]

i want 1 they look so cute!!!

[FadedRose99]

omg... i love slinkys!! The metal original ones not those dumbass things... my favorite was always Mr an Mrs Potato head and of course... these!

Oh the times are changing... (damn i feel old now and considering i went the first ten years of my life without a computer this was pretty much all i had *and i'm only 15*)

[yhutubee665]

I WANT ONE!!!

[dieselheart001]

I think the dachshund in this commercial is feeling a little forlorn and displaced by this toy, don't you?

[deku8989]

my favorites the catipilar

[sexxyperv]

IT'S THE DOG FROM TOY STORY!!!

[MattTheSaiyan]

Good toy, charming commercial, but I keep thinking of the "Log" parody ("it's better than bad, it's good!").

[TechnoBoy301]

Was this in color once?

[08AbsoluteZero]

man, right when the internet came out america was screwed.

[GrammarNazi100]

Too bad they didn't tell the kids about the tangled mess two days later...

[residentialpanda]

i like slinky's :)

[gorgon9876]

this is like a toy for kids back in like the 1960s

[dustyainc]

Unbelievable quality and content!!!

I am so impressed. The author deserves recognition here:  HOW WAS THIS ACCOMPLISHED? VCR's weren't invented until the early 80's!!!

BRAVO!!!!

[brn2bwild2001]

My Father's friend worked for a TV Station in the 60's and he had a "Studio Quality" Black and White Recorder. The sucker was huge but he had a Library of Movies (about 100) in these big tapes. It was the coolest thing to go their house and put in a tape and watch a movie.

[smdog66]

duh !!!! ever hear of TV? Tv has been around since about 1940 by the time this commercial was done early 1960's almost everyone had a TV.

[71259mark]

@smdog66 Some people are like slinkies. They're not really good for much, and you just can't help but smile when you see them tumble down the stairs.

[residentialpanda]

@smdog66 yh but with only a few channels and barley any programmes for kids.

[ferretsforver]

This awesome!!!!

[doctorspankluv]

[lorax121323]

LOG was & will allways be fake

[RomZomCom]

Log kicks you in the dick.

[ninextailfox2]

its all fun and games till u tangle up the slinky then u have more fun with it as a weapon haha

[Dylan6758]

How could a kid have fun with those?

[musicom67]

Probably the same way kids have fun with 'Ball in the Cup', 'Kick the Can', and a 'Hula Hoop'..... Lo-tech 'toys' that seemed to satisfy kids before the electronics and computer explosion... yah?

[mrscoffeekiller]

@Dylan6758 How could a kid NOT have fun with those?

[pat20105]

@mrscoffeekiller It's just metal. I would get bored after 1 minute

[mrscoffeekiller]

R.I.P. BETTY JAMES (wife of SLINKY inventor,

Richard James). Seen in Los Angeles Times

obit. Nov. 25,2008.

[RonaldVaughan]

BETTY JAMES,btw,literally improved upon (and

turned the once-struggling SLINKY empire

around...to become one of the most successful

toy EMPIRES of all time!!

[Lancealotbob]

UNDER $1.00!

[tnpan]

what happens when it gets tangled for the billionth time, and they're like "...Fuck."

[chickenbro5]

it is very easy for me to untangle them.

its just strategic.

[leomaniac96]

I LOVE THIS!!!!

[zaxgascho]

Wow

I wish I lived back then!!

[AVerysimplename]

Oops sorry for my last post..

Anyways...

I just bought one today...

[AVerysimplename]

lol Under a dollar..??

I

[2tonesg]

i prefer LOG! from Blammo.

[tnpan]

All kids love Log!

God, I hated that song. It was so annoying and it got stuck in your head.

It'a Loooooooog, it's loooooooog...

[bluzzzylover]

WHAT IS LOG JEEZ

[tnpan]

Log was an old skit they made to make fun of these old slinky commercials on Ren and Stimpy cartoons. Back when it were good.

[BadCamera32]

Everyone NEEDS a LOG!LOG LOG LOG -from Blammo!

[tnpan]

Damn my grammar, I meant back when it was good.

[nightmareimage]

Barndancer, math classes have obviously changed since then too because 10+10+15=35 cents, not a quarter.

[ladylike1980]

That toy never lasted a day. Once in got

tangled - forget it. It never worked after

that. The inside of houses seem so ugly back then - with the dark paneling in the "den."

I don't they called them "Family rooms" like they do now. We called our "den" the

"rec room." There were 5 kids in my family.

My neighbor had 10 kids in the family. Most

families had at least 4 children. It was fun

back then. I wouldn't trade my childhood

for all the fancy toys they have today.

[EnvyMyIgnorance]

What the hell? You writing an autobiography?

[ladylike1980]

EnvyMylgnorance -

Well, you've twisted my arm! As you can

see, my childhood was fasinating. I am sure

people all over the world would love to

read more about broken slinky's and lack

of birth control in the 60's.

[sonnyjim2001]

1=4-........

[george319]

its slinky its slinky i still remember the song i had one i got it to walk down 3 stairs once if it got tangeled 4 get it now their plastic the old dangerous spring was better

[robechu]

man, slinky's costed over a dollar back then???

isn't that like... a fortune for a kid? what the frick. WHAT the frick.

[Barndancer61]

Well, yes, but that would have been something we would have bugged our parents to buy, not something we bought from our allowances. In those days (40-45 years ago) a quarter bought us two candy bars (10 cents ea.) and a bottle of pop (15 cents).

[zanshei]

fun toy. I didn't know commercials ever asked you so honestly to buy their product.

[lulzwut4u]

No, they suck.

[OrangeBananaYolk2000]

Can't reist... too catchy!!!

[jojo6780]

i luv em =P

[renfest]

I have my original Slinky lol and all the kids have played with it ..
