Vintage Brylcreem TV advert US

[peekaboots01]

I love a man with well groomed hair. I wish men would still use Brylcreem. It doesn't have to be greasy because a little goes a long way, hence the slogan a little dab will do ya.

[RobbyArt]

It's sad that people are so superficial.

His hair actually looked better before the Brylcreem.

[visor109]

So.... it puts 3 lives into your hair?

[mrspatrickcampbell]

The young chap appears to be an attractive homosexual and would do a lot better on the Hershey Highway than with that old fish!

[retardedchipmunk]

excitingly clean, disturbingly healthy

[naoto183]

"Disturbingly healthy."

Yeah...that's something I want all the girls to say to me.

[bolddeciever]

Does she really say "disturbingly healthy" at :37?

[auntlolo86]

My Papa used this until he passed. He had very thick hair at the age of 92, you'd never know he was that age. He was a quarter Cherokee, and he had dark black hair without ever putting dye on it. I'd suggest this to any man with thick hard to manage hair.

[ysbaddaden2003]

I use Brylcreem but only to cover a bald spot

I prefer his earlier look, and the scent of Pinaud hair gel.

[hg585]

does anyone know if the original Brylcreem smells good? does it even have a fragrance? i'd like to just get the original...

[RayMichel]

It smells sort of lemony, not too strong. Another alternative is Vitapointe, pretty much the same but softer fragrance.

[hg585]

hey thanks for that.

[adilhussain77]

@hg585 its does (=

[scryerofold]

@hg585 I use to use it as a boy. It smelled ok, There wasn't much of a strong fragrence,but you could smell it.

[007glazenby]

@hg585 It actually (for a product from the 50's) smells pretty good. And it's mild too, so, it won't knock you out.

[aj1986917]

@hg585 it smells pretty good

[spinnmyfinn]

it puts sex, sex, SEX back into your LIFE

[LordOfLonsdale]

I was a kid in the 1950's, and grew up hearing this jingle on TV. It's amazing how such commercial jingles insinuate themselves (intentionally, of course) in people's psyches. Hey, 50 years later, and I can still sing it (before seeing it here on YouTube). I'd say THAT's a successful jingle!

[CleverDjembe]

Yeah, but it's all true, Brylcreem gives me pussy!

[Guardian223]

imagine a little bit of grease had that dame panting!

[abba1987]

I actually prefer brylcreem blue to regular brylcreem gives me the nice sheen i desire.

[GriddleGang]

Now he's sure to get some 'tang.

[mtillery57]

I think I know this guy

[cowboygreaser]

sorry wrongly spelt was greasers

[cowboygreaser]

All gresers use Brylcreem

[pryorj2011]

Can any other U.N.C.L.E. fans picture Napoleon Solo (Robert Vaughn) doing this ad?

[AndesAppleSeed]

yeah his hair was fine and then he had hitler hair.

[5t4Lk3r]

BRYLCREEM IS THE BEST!!!

[beefnotfish]

HIs hair looked OK to me when he was working under the car...Its after he put that shit in his hair that it looked like hell!......

[thomashfly]

i'm working on a novel that kind of spoofs 40's detective movies - anyway i was researching Brylcreme for a reference to it in my story and found this ... which is fucking hilarious!

[bearkid4u]

does anyone think i can bring up my pomp with Brylcreem?

my hairs thick and heavy so i dunno..

[RayMichel]

Ah, ca depend- it depends- you'll have to experiment, but you'll probably end up with something heavier, maybe Brylcreem afterwards for more shine.

[bearkid4u]

hmmm can do..

[Belleraphon100]

@bearkid4u hahahaha jou pomp dat jy meer kan naai?

[jarmeljake]

Yeah, i used this stuff too. And Vitalis.."with V-7."

Butch Wax was too waxy for me. I think Womens 'Dippity Do' was good if you needed to shape your hair. And probably a precursor to what we now call 'gel.'

[blanton1624]

I used Brylcreem in the 60's and 70's. When I woke up the next morning, I had a greasy spot on my pillow.

[Juliaflo]

Are you sure you used only a little dab?

[blanton1624]

Actually, I used several dabs. One dab just didn't cut it. Had to have that slicked back look. Changed that oil at least twice a week.

[unclebobunclebob]

"They love to get their fingers in your hair."

"Your greasy hair."

"Your extremely greasy hair."

[RayMichel]

You say this like it's a bad thing. LOL

[AppleMacApp4U]

@RayMichel brylcreem acoording to my parents is pretty fuckin greasy. he's not say that to put it down. he is merely stating a fact.

[fjbutch]

@AppleMacApp4U I use the blue container, it's a little better....

[ysbaddaden2003]

So now, you too can look like a ventriloquist dummy!

[RayMichel]

Well, I'd rather look like a ventriloquist dummy than the current "voodoo doll" look. LOL

[midnightradioshow]

man, Brylcreem is the best, its a history in masculinity and style.

[Ixtsus]

That tube is so unbreakable

[shinshoryuken]

Damn gotta get me some of that.

[GodFearingRebel]

Does anyone know if Brylcreem is good for Pompadours?

[iforgotmypw1]

This stuff is actually not oily or greasy at all. It feels like lotion.

[HighSchoolPsycho]

where can you buy this exact same kind at? like what store?

[TheLonelyAnachronist]

you can get Brylcreem at Walmart.  They have Vitalis too which is great stuff

[fromthesidelines]

Okay, maybe 1955-'56, 'scot'. These Brylcreem ads (and the "Little Dab'll Do Ya'" slogan, with stop-motion animated sequence) were seen and updated for several years until the early '60s....

[melvis24]

Does Brylcreem wash out easyly with water, or is it more like soft pomade? I intend to get some.

[craigmurphy70128]

excitingly clean, disturbingly healthy, lol!

[bobarty]

I have fond memories of this,when serving overseas with the RAF at a base in the Maldives called Gan.This used to be on in the camp cinema as a prelude to the film mainly as a laugh as we all used to sing along to the end song and finished it off with a very loud Hiss, happy days.

[fromthesidelines]

This ad originally aired around 1958-'59...

[scotpens]

Are you sure it isn't a bit older than that? That car is a 1954 Ford. Would a cool guy be driving a five-year-old car?

[rockabillyrebel01]

i use it every day and i love it!! the smell the texture

[Reubenhubert]

My mom used to glue my hair down with it in the early 60s. I hated it.

[overandout58]

and greasy pillows, chairs, and everywhere you stuck your head

[adi87tya]

lol I think the first hairstyle is considered better now

[blackgas]

this stuff is amazing

[freddysouth]

good! but i prefer murrays!

[rocknroll1012010]

I use it and it works great.

[101Frenchkisses6]

disturbingly healthy...

okay..lol

[dudemantwo]

hahaha...greasy hair...Isn't dry hair considered healthy...now...?

[chevvok]

lol yeah and i liked the greasy hair better.

[shredtastic1]

lol I need to get this for my bro he looks like a werewolf....with a fro! He's white btw haha. Thanx for sharing~you rock!

[squirrelnutcased]

I just love watching these old commercials and pictures from the 1950's. It's like a one minute time warp.

Why must I be a teenager in...THE WRONG GENERATION??? :(

[greaserrebel]

agreed !

[kilan56]

@squirrelnutcased  I'm basicly with ya, I still use this stuff too lol

[TheJomogogo]

@kilan56

wow. I used Brylcreem, Top Brass, Vitalis, all that stuff in the 50's and 60's, then "the dry look" came in around 1970 and I realized putting grease in my hair was a shitty idea.

[fjbutch]

@squirrelnutcased  Cool comment ...

[Israeldjane]

@squirrelnutcased me too friend, me too

[ethanwhite117]

I hear ya

[Desi5218]

@squirrelnutcased i wonder the same thing

[fjbutch]

And a little dab'l do

[mpsarge1]

a little dab will do ya..lol Yea i remember using that and Wildroot and Vitalis

[jsf51953]

Ahh the good old days! Great post!

[pr0nmizer]

UG Endorses Brylcreem.

[myukraine]

Lol!

[mattmo2007]

HAHA its weird!!

[madamerotten]

The music for this jingle was written by

John P. Atherton, and the words by Hanley Norins. Norins also wrote a book, "The Compleat Copywriter: A Comprehensive Guide to All Phases of Advertising Communication."

[pourikkou1]

marcus???

[keeperofthecheese]

Brycreem??? I dont want that! I'm a dapper Dan man!

(Oh brother where art thou... i know i know)

[hackerwanab]

DAPPER DAN:D

[Gioismyname18]

This stuff makes you lose your hair. I know because I used to use it. Now, the hair on the top of my head feels thin.

[blessedalcuin]

Proof!

[GenCollado]

"Now, the hair on the top of my head feels thin."

Really? Cool!

My hair is kinda thick so I might use thin hair. better.

[hackerwanab]

which one did u use

[scotpens]

Who wants fat hair?

[funkmike]

Disturbingly healthy?

[GhostMint]

Half of what's great about Brylcreem is the scent, it smells like a really clean soap. I just started using it again, I don't like my hair to be too stiff. If I wanted hold, I would use gel.

[DanceToTheRadio]

His hair actually looks worse after the brylcreem.Though I love the song so much it hurts so all is forgiven.

[RayMichel]

LOL EVERYTHING was perfect then, wasn't it?

[Orangeflava]

Haha, yeah!!

[stephanie1977]

does she expect a dude working on a car to have perfect hair. Give me a break

[RexSand]

This is so true brylcreem really is not that great though sadly the hold is far from the best I myself use pomade and hairspray.
