CLASSIC TV TOY COMMERCIALS 1950/60s 60 minutes

[Diskoboy1974]

I was born in 1974, and I seem to remember that Twister commercial.

[chriswarren44]

Had the Johnny Seven One Man Army weapon and the Helmet. In fact, the empty box is sitting on my desk right next to the computer. Helmet is gone, tho.

[jayhackworth]

They stopped making fun toys because 1. 'politically uncorrect' or 2. too many morons hurting themselves with sharp edges, etc.

[chris061290]

im only 21. i wish i was a kid in in the 50s toys looked awsome.

[mitchfuku]

Thanks for the memories! I actually owned Johnny 7 OMA and my brother had the Super Helmet 7.

[bingobongo445]

What if you didn't live in Chicago,NY or Seattle and won the contest, would they pay to fly you to one of cities where these stores were located so you could go on a toy hunting spree!

[TheZillaGod]

am i the only one who thinks sandy beker is drunk

[MrWhenwherewhat]

19:00 that would look fucking stupid now a days

[chris061290]

@MrWhenwherewhat ur making fun of the best era of chidrens toys. alot of stuff they dont make the same way the did in the 50s

[MrWhenwherewhat]

17:00 What the fuck. They don't have that? I Wuntdat D:

[MrWhenwherewhat]

2:17 i bet that guys dead ._.

[voltaman33]

I thinks it's wonderful that you watched the whole thing at 15. I am 27 and love these commercials.

[spaxspore]

@voltaman33

same, I am 26 and find these commercials fascinating. Shows you how greatly this country/culture has changed in 50yrs.

[swindle2345]

is it weird that im fifteen and watched the whole thing

[ReDact45]

Great video. Thanks for posting.

[piratekrick]

Boys: kill things!

Girls: have babies!

[sarahrocka10]

the easy bake oven box is like HALF the size of me!

[robertgift]

Anyone have the Tic-Toy Clock commercial?

My favorite toy of all time.

Thank you.

[kennyrr]

I loved the Black & White TV shows I wish they show them again on TV

[LemyTV1]

thumbs up if you played snake this whole time!

[emoboy76519]

XD wow toy commercials were long as shows back then

[genocideadvent]

wow...is it me or does robot commando looks pretty cool..i mean..voice command...how cool is that..lol..and its the 60s

[A10thunderbolt]

I suspect the glamorization of all things military was a product of the cold war....and it did make for fun toys.

[A10thunderbolt]

These commercials were made during the height of the cold war. No small wonder (to me anyway) that military service was made to seem so glamorous.

[bikebeerrun1960]

The girl@24:40 looks like Angela Cartwright(Lost in Space)

[bikebeerrun1960]

"Action Highway" today would be called : "Typical Commute" - LOL !

[TextFreeley]

So many military toys. I almost wonder if there was some intervention that caused them to be engineered.

[chris061290]

@TextFreeley maybe world war 2 and the korea war caused all the toys to be military type.

[rgarcia77]

Never mind, it was "Oh my Darling Clementine"...

[rgarcia77]

Pretty Women intro?@21:44

[rgarcia77]

" I gotta get one too!!??" @13:30. 

[pongboy1100]

i wonder if the adress still works 03:21

[TheEmceeForce]

pre pair the children

guns and dollhouses

prepare the women

with funds and white blouses

[The45Falcon]

I would have hated to live in the 60s. As good as the toys look, the money people were living on was pathetic. All I see is cents and dimes weekly wage not dollars. I know the currency was different but I fail to see how anyone could have thought it was the best decade ever. We have more money now and better jobs and a higher wage, people should be happier they have better jobs now! The 60s was just a poor backwards decade. The war was over so why weren't they any richer??

[Bogframe]

@The45Falcon Yeah, but the prices today have risen faster that the wages have. My dad made $20K per year in 1966. Our house cost $26K with a 6% mortgage. Steak cost 40 cents per lb, just for example

[Kim4d]

This is great:) Thanks:)

[mrantman441]

Boy i am 50 years old, and I can remember some of the commercials, as a little mutt, and I still have some of the stuff I had then, and I kept in a safe deposit box in 1975 not to be opened until I was 50 if I made it to that point which I did. Now I get chills of happiness looking at this. Can we get a time machine and go back?

[TheZillaGod]

electric tiger guitars! we dont want our childeren turning into oinko commies

[Mr8125917]

lol in 18:57 if u used translate audio, it will says "retarded" XD

[joearies]

Whats the pony name??

[Johnk662561]

Wonder how many parents found themselves having to pry those "fits all" Steve Canyon helmets off their kid? LOL

[funtyrone]

wow! i wonder where i can find a king zoar!

[CameraMan9258]

how do you get a 60 minute video on youtube?

[6motion6]

Children playing w/toys by Marx? Is he trying ot make them grow up to be socialists?

[midnightcaller200]

[darcflesh]

[cvp500]

lol thanks for the video i watched the wore thing twice

[TheTourlous]

Super city! ah! I've been wondering what was the name of that toy for quite a while. It was very cool.

[collegeman1988]

I guess this is when the shameless marketing machine began its deceptive marketing campaign targeted at the baby boomer generation and has not stopped. In fact, it's gotten worse.

[BlargVison]

lol the guy in the twister commercial was lucky

[TreyNElliot]

Haha at 1:04!

[garbman666]

so long O.o

[Idoljunky32]

I should kick myself for all the times that my sister and I went around to rummage sales and flea markets and seen some of these toys and games, some were is great condition and probably worth more than the 50 cents that the person was asking for! You really don't know want kind of treasures you have in your basement or you find at flea markets. Thankfully I've become a fan of Ira's site here and the TV show "Antiques Roadshow"

[mrsbrown333]

no wonder so many of us ended up in therapy.

[MUNJAK5]

absolutely amazing. I wish I had the time & resources that you do. This would be a dream job for me, gathering all these old historic shows, commercials, etc. I had the greatest time viewing this. Keep up the fantastic work!!! Marty

[luridplanet]

I most enjoy the sales pitches to department store buyers

[manwithnouthingtodo]

how did you upload the video past ten minutes????

[JohannaGotTalent41]

I remeber when we used to have fun playing hide and seek or tag out side

[coxmosia1]

I still have my Duncan Yoyo.  These bring back so many good memories. :)

[theJsofG2]

They soo set up that car collision.

40:35

[theJsofG2]

Lol, sooper helmet.

[jaxgal618]

$20 for that fighter jet toy ? That was a HUGE chunk of change back then. I'm sure your avg kid never saw that toy.

[sassylilfilly]

I love how the weeks back then were Monday-Sunday. I wish I could go back to then. So easy, so sweet... My mom tells me about it all the time

I'll even play with the lead, the sharp free gifts that are coming this toys...it's okay.. :)

[137paddy]

Very nice work.

[arn0ldaar0n]

Imagine a toy called 'Beanie Copter" nowadays.

[jaxgal618]

I had a Beanie Copter...that was one of my favorite toys when I was about 5 or 6. Hey...we could entertain ourselves with a stick, a can and a ball back then. These kids nowadays have absolutely NO imagination or creativity.

[Link3618andLiquid]

the screaming mee mee is an exact copy of the johnny 7 o.m.a gun.

[thesixtiesguy]

I collected 60's toys from the late eighties until about 2005. I'd spend everything I had on a new creepy crawler set or a King Zor. It got to be such a screwed up habit, I may as well have been on crack. I had a basement and a bedroom full of this crap. One day I just got fed up with buying it, boxing it up, storing and getting it out every year to look at it. I sold my collection on ebay from 1998 and finished last year. I figure I had about $40,000 in it. Got $150,000 out of it. Who needs it?

[BroadcastJohn]

@thesixtiesguy

$110,000 profit? That sounds great. Too bad I didn't have the same idea.

A co-worker of mine had a similar idea. From the time that his kids were born, whenever he purchased a toy for them, he always bought a second one that remained packaged and was stored away. He did this strictkly as an investment. Since I retired, I don't know if he has sold any of them yet.

[iWantMyMailNow]

Unbreakable I could bl0w that shit up with a little black power

[WoWjunkie1993]

i want that Big Shot

[DrFirestarter]

25:20

[CindyBradyTooh]

I said to myself: "There's no way I'm wastin 60 minutes of my time watchin commercials".

I spent the next hour cryin over all the toys! :"(

:::::wail::::::

~Cindy! :)

..

[1m2f3m4wth]

Some of these toys are still around. Some of them would be consiered unsafe today, even if used for the appropriate age group. Ahhhh....the good ol' days :-)

[Xxartist93xX]

[ArizonaDelRio]

[photo10]

Why does this guy look like Nixon.

[Dylan6758]

How is this 60 minutes?

[thesixtiesguy]

Hey. All this  ideal crap is not toy commercials. More commercials, less documentary.

[fromthesidelines]

"Mouse Trap" [25:42], one of Ideal's most successful "3-D" board games, was first introduced in 1965; this is a 1971 edition [that's Len Maxwell announcing]. At 27:12 is the famous 1964 ad for Topper's "Suzy Cute", with Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong emulating his recent hit recording of "Hello, Dolly!" for a new audience...

[cherylrigs]

Cool! I'm selling a Budding Beauty Vanity on Ebay. Awesome to see the original commercial for it. Thanks!

[rainydaywoman1957]

i'll take house work over being a soldier anyday..and i bet that a lot of soldiers over in iraq would too.

[60sThru80s]

This was the perfect era for toys. 10% toy, 90% imagination, which is just the way it should be.

[kuragxo]

I had that Steve Canyon helmet!!!!

[blackrock1969]

Guess I'd better enjoy these while I can(LOL)!

Great to have you back, Ira! Does this mean you'll be re-activating your TV NETWORKS channel soon?

[wafuf14]

How do i has 60 mins video on youtube?Nice stuff :)

[AmazingG07]

The 50s, 60s and early 70s had the best toys - I'll never forget my Easy Bake Oven or Game Of The States game, just wonderful!

[mamaloosh]

wow! this is awesome! that robot scared me!

[Saraculture13]

"Budding Beauty Vanity?" You gotta be kidding me...!

[copperstatekid]

What??? Don't you want to be a "Budding Beauty"? In the 60's girls were taught to be "June Cleaver" and you had to look good to greet your husband when he comes home from work. You had better have his slippers ready and look your best after primping with your "Budding Beauty Vanity" by Marx!

[captainstinky666]

life goal for boys---be a soldier

life goal for girls--beauty and housework glee!!

[Saraculture13]

I know! Sheesh...

[mrpotatohead34]

@captainstinky666 aww i wanted to be buck rogers D:

[SFCMAC57]

@captainstinky666

This female spent 30 years as a U.S. Soldier. My life goal was a bit higher than "beauty, housework, and Glee".

[asseertedwolf]

@captainstinky666 - lol freaking a 

[jerry550]

Ira,

Thanks for preserving all of this.

[SWTPEA64]

Awesome! I watched it twice :)

[ornleifs]

It´s No wonder that the 60´s generation did protest Wars, they all had obviously had an overdose of weapons as kids.
