Lucky Strike Cigarette Ad (1953)

[388bobek]

Some people are such a fucking hypocrites, they say how much they're against discrimination and how bad it is, but they still discriminate smokers!! By raising tax, not allowing smokers into bars, and even not allowing smoking in cars!! Car is our private space, yet they don't allow us smoke in them because it raises the chance of accident, how many car accidents happened by non smokers? If someone can't drive it's their own fault not smoking fault!

[anticliche321]

Don Draper sure knows how to sell em!

[roxtar10870]

Haven't had a cigarette in almost a year.... I'd run through a brick wall for a Lucky!! Quitting smoking is the hardest thing I've ever done.

[gregboyds]

@roxtar10870 Good job! Keep up the good work, we know it's tough, but you're saving your life! Proud of ya!

[roxtar10870]

@gregboyds Thank you. Truth is, the only thing keeping me from smoking now is knowing that I'll never stop smoking again. If I ever smoke another cigarette again, I'll more than likely keep smoking for the rest of my life.

[Butt291]

ive heard of these my granny told that some relative of ours got lung cancer after 20 years of smoking lucky strikes i wanna try em sometime

[ballebanan]

I thought he said "Make your next -coffin- Lucky Strike". O.o

[MegaCaffeineman]

if i die because im a smoker i want to die with a pack of Lucky's in my pocket,nothing more,nothing less

[st3phenJC]

interesting fact: lucky strike got it's name in ww2. due to the fact that they were made and smoked by pilots. when bombers would go on air raids and hit an important enemy target unintentionally, they'd call it a "lucky strike." i thought i'd share this with all you because i found this very interesting.

[Xbawcks4life]

@st3phenJC That is not true... Who told you that? Lucky Strike is a term that was used by miners during the California gold rush that they had found gold. So lucky strike means that they found a "Gold" or lucky product.

[st3phenJC]

@Xbawcks4life really? some guy that was reviewing them said that. guess ive been misinformed.

[Xbawcks4life]

@st3phenJC Ahh, that, I've seen that review, it's not true, just disregard that.

[st3phenJC]

@Xbawcks4life well thanks for clearing it up haha

[keyban1]

God if I bought a carton of luckys I would be broke. lol

[McGruff5150]

[el6caballo6oscuro6]

i'm a smoker, and though i roll my own cigarettes, i can honestly say lucky strikes ARE some of the best - pitty they're so expensive these days :(

[biggiesmaus]

@el6caballo6oscuro6 I picked up two cartons of lucky strikes for 56 bucks dude. Fucking amazing.

[el6caballo6oscuro6]

@biggiesmaus damn man - why are cigs so expensive in europe :'(

[Sheri451]

[7StrawHatLuffy]

[MrEeqqee]

I LOVE SMOKING AFTER THIS AD! xD

[migkillertwo]

Someone like Don Draper made this ad.

Damn I need a smoke.

[CougarRand]

I'm convinced, death never tasted so good.

[belgiumboy3]

0:18 that's exactly what i do before i roll a joint filled up with cannabis

[zkilllz]

[MrDatbrownboy]

[TestSubjectXVII]

the tobacco couldnt maintain its cylinder shape without all those damn chemicals hold it together LOL

[MCNW100]

Seriously? Back then you had to pretend to be performing an experiment to skin up on TV?

[ILessThan3ToJizz420]

If you have ever smoked a Lucky, you can almost smell the hints of almond when they smell it. Fuck, I should have gotten a pack of Luckies instead of Kools lastnight. Oh well.

[alperenaaa]

NEEED.. TO.... SMOOKEE./

[teceyS3]

...round, firm, and fully packed~ hahahahaha

[cumulo25]

DON'T WASTE MY CIGARETTES! BUY YOUR OWN AND RIP IT OPEN!

[demonxthedk]

i smoke weed..its alot better

[DANEo2o2]

Smokers are the new blacks. We aren't allowed to sit in the same bars, the same resteraunts, have to be 25 feet from enterances etc.

[Allante715]

@DANEo2o2

Blacks don`t give people cancer or asthma attacks.

[1967mustanggta]

@Allante715 No they just rape and kill and destroy neighborhoods and ruin property values. If I happened upon a stranger in a dark alley, I'd be much more relieved to find he was a smoker than a God Damned Nigger!

[DANEo2o2]

@Allante715 Cigarettes don't steal wallets and live below the poverty line

[Allante715]

@DANEo2o2

touche

[52684]

@DANEo2o2 its a optional "blackness" and they best know their place and not have a revolution.

[jo3jo3221]

@DANEo2o2 ya, Although im not a smoker anymore, people dont think its socially acceptable, when in fact, there are bigger issues. Im a psychology major, but im minoring in sociology, so I pay attention to these things.

[gregboyds]

@DANEo2o2 Yeah, but this time there won't be any "civil rights movement". You all will be left to die painfully of cancer on your own.

[alperenaaa]

Fuck Pall Mall, or any other Shit, Lucky strike is Luckyh xD

[hickster699]

I wanna hear those two having a conversation off camera like they talk in this commercial

[roscominmiboi]

lukys are like $16 a pack in australia 

[ryanthomasmccallum]

lucky you thea 1350 where i live for a pack of 20's

[MrHermionePotter]

If Luckies weren't $7.35 where I live, I'd take one apart like that.

[lapocha38]

Ok this is Lapocha38 telling to all those that dont like me, well i dont care if you dont like me at all. I dont like you smokers anyway either. And for you info, my sister and her husband just quit smoking like 4 months ago and im very proud od them. Also my stepdad its in emergency hospital at the moment because of his smoking habits, he has pnemonia and a related sickness thats close to lung cancer. Smoking causes lung cancer. I have never touch a cigarret in my life and im very proud of that

[AwesomexFour]

@lapocha38 lolol why should you care that your stepdad is in the hospital if you don't like smokers? let's hope he dies so you can use that in your campaign agains't smokers. rah rah fuck smokers right?

[TobaccoOnFire]

To all those that are wondering about this ad...it works.

[kentuckywhittler]

The secrets is all that cigarette tar, Nothing holds like tar ;}

[gopconservative78]

When your done beating your wife and shooting at some Negroes.......fire up a lucky!

[dingdangdo94]

My God I want a cigarette...

[ShaDowZCinema]

i want some old darts like that not the dirty ones we have today

[AlexVernonFlyer]

I love Lucky Strikes. Hard to find, but I always go out of my way to get them. Years and years passed, and they're still the best tasting cigarette (although kids these days can't handle unfiltered cigarettes). Cigarette, packaging hasn't changed since the 60's, that's probably part of the attraction. Nostalgia packed into a pack. Although the corner store owner always tells me he hasn't seen anybody buy them since WWII, I always say "Damn dude, you're only 40, you weren't born back then."

[flogmolly]

round, firm and fully packed *giggles*

[fmichaelb]

Notice that at :14 the entire top of the package has been taken off. Not the way most smokers open a package, BTW. Notice that at 1:02 the package has had only the foil removed between the tax stamp and one end of the package, the way most smokers DO open a package,

[Exlemic]

its toasted!

[ItsMeImpish]

better taste better made papa johns

[lapocha38]

I dont like smokers.

[MatthewDavidParr]

@lapocha38 I don't like you.

[lapocha38]

@MatthewDavidParr@ I dont care!

[Xbawcks4life]

@lapocha38 I don't like you either.

[Grisbi6]

Luckies were truly the best-tasting cigarette back in my smoking days. I don't know if they are even made anymore.

[BrianVission]

@Grisbi6 They are not every place sells them but I work at a supermarket in United States . (south dakota) and we have them :)

[zachy3621]

Ahh the 50s when Instead of packs you bought cartons

[boblackey1]

@zachy3621 L.S.M.F.T. Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco! And they are TOSTED! I've been smoking Lucky's since 1947 and they are still the best smoke I've found. Problem is, they are hard to find at many stores today.

[zachy3621]

@boblackey1 If i went to america I'd buy luckies

[Green00Bastard]

Smookin good!! :D

[tomitstube]

a blunt.

[xXEzkatonXx]

Are ya smokin' yet?

[Tommy7009]

only in the 50s could you afford to waste a perfectly good cigarette

[Tommy7009]

so ROUND so a FIRM lol funny way to describe a cigarette i think old sigmund freud would have thing or two to say about this advertisement.

[MetherFeckerrrr]

[Vincentmc01]

@MetherFeckerrrr luckys are the best

[6Bene]

[Menkalo]

[david292978]

lucky strike is such a fucked up name for a smoke pack. kuz you wont be so lucky when your dick wont go up anymore or if you have a stroke. lol hahaha

[Gogohax]

@david292978 Smoking doesn't cause erectile disfunction. Who told you that? Above the Influence??

[david292978]

@Gogohax i was just fuckin around. i'm a smoker myself.

[david292978]

when i first hurd of the name lucky strike, i always thought it was some low end brand, or discount brand. kuz the name is just so lame"LUCKY STRIKES" but then one day i was at an airport and asked some old hag for a smoke. she busts out a pack of lucky strikes. im like wtf i never seen these things here in canada. so i spark it expecting to shit myself. and to my surprise, it was quite tasty. fucking good aroma and smooth and full of flavour. try one today.

[kosy91]

By Don Draper !

[sexytubes]

[Leftysfive93]

I want to buy the world a pack of Lucky Strikes instead of a Coke.

[freak7koRn]

[Miki2471]

[Miki2471]

U wanna know why it stays that form, because that, and ALL ciggarettes include tar like that black goo on the road

[crazjosh]

whys he holding a small poo?

[spamviking]

Seeing as how they appear to be in a lab of some sort, haven't these guys got science to do instead of wasting time cutting up their fags?

[odog65]

those things are still smooth but can be expensive depending on where ya buy them

[JamesKendric]

The most used words of the 50s : Mild, smooth, cigarettes, great, tasting

[UnoriginallyInclined]

Ads went for almost 2 minutes back in the 50's? Damn.

[ToryMagoo44]

My Dad smoked "Lucky Strikes" and died at age 52 of a heart attack, after having

a full physical from NBC (where he was a football color man, after playing for the Chicago Cardinals, back in the day)--saying he was "totally healthy". He walked in the door, had a heart attack and was D E A D. I grew up hearing these ads, smoked myself, and quit cold turkey in 1974---from 2 pks/day, to zero.

[elc1960]

As Paul Newman said in "Slapshot": "Don't ever play "Lady Of Spain" again!!!"

[Rangerboy9404]

LS/MFT Lucky Strike Means Future Tumors

[anotherdpfan]

Cigarette ads were funny.

[Alrkex]

大好きです。

[lovetoplaythecello]

like i commented on the pall mall commercial, this is just weird

[ewd76]

It looks like tread on a tire.

[49jubilee]

wow, back in the day when they called tv, TELEVISION---then the radio guy chimes in pack after pack? puff after puff? puhleeze...the first origami i did was the 'gas mask' because my parents and their friend left sooooo much smoke in the living room (we couldn't go outside at night) it looks like the sailboat....sort of...i forgot how to make it, since there is no second hand smoke anymore

[49jubilee]

wow, back in the day when they called tv, TELEVISION---then the radio guy chimes in

[123haimi]

[mrstevehartman]

[velamouse]

[xSilenttz]

[zyxonn]

@xSilenttz 1.20€ Serbia :)))

[Chattanoogaben]

A perfect cylinder because it was held together with glue.......

[Heasjan]

It taste like dick in your mouth

[Fragem420]

lucky strikes the cigerettes of World War II. This won us the war Kids.

Stop it with the nanny state gargage of trying to ban every vice we have.

Sure cigerettes kill.

But so does overeating, drinking, smoking pot, meth herion or name your addictive drug of choice.

Also one drug is a natural drug that kills a lot faster than cigerettes ever could.

That is sex kids. Sex can end your life in a matter of 5 to 10 years.

[StevePlysWithFire]

@Fragem420

people tend to throw the blame on something that seems most logical.

Who fucking cares if it causes cancer, going outside for a swim in the pool will get you skin cancer apparently now.

[DstonerS]

@StevePlysWithFire i smoke and please stop trying to stick up for cigarettes. its retarded.

[StevePlysWithFire]

@DstonerS

are you looking to pick a argument online? Seriously man get a life.

[DstonerS]

@StevePlysWithFire no im telling u to not stick up for these... wow

[StevePlysWithFire]

@DstonerS

I wouldn't call that sticking up for cigarettes.

[DstonerS]

@Fragem420 weed doesnt kill you fuckin retard. and that last part is obviously coming from someone whos never been laid.

[hockeyplaya131]

@Fragem420 Good point, except pot isn't addictive.

[jbrandona119]

@hockeyplaya131 anything can be addictive, bro.

[jamesisapain]

@hockeyplaya131

Pot is most definitely addictive.

[Abent5866]

@jamesisapain pot isn't chemically addictive (THC doesn't affect the brain in the same manner as nicotine) or so my basic anatomy and AP bio textbooks say. However it can be psychologically addictive, as in it's enjoyable so you want more. Much like how i happen to enjoy eating cake (not a lie) therefore i eat more cake because it's enjoyable and the benefits (personal satisfaction) outweigh the costs (unhealthy) to a point, marijuana is the same way

[jamesisapain]

@Abent5866

Exactly. What you're saying is that it's not necessarily chemically addictive, but addictive nonetheless. It has addictive qualities. I know people who are well and truly addicted. You can't say it's not addictive.

[Nottotv]

@jamesisapain pot doesnt cuase cancer

[Nottotv]

@jamesisapain pot doesnt cuase cancer and its only addictive to certain people i know

[jamesisapain]

@Nottotv

Whether it causes cancer or not is irrelevant.

And as you said it's addictive to people you know. It is still a drug which can have an addiction associated with it.

[Dude1337jeeb]

@Fragem420

Hope you burn in hell, sex isn't a drug.

[Sheri451]

Tell me? What does a cigarette supposed to TASTE like? Like a piece of candy? A cookie, a piece of chicken?

[gues04]

Tobacco smells great, and you can't deny it!

[4SCARECROWS]

Look Bob come look at this. See they started rolling it with pencil shavings. Let's smoke one!

[JacknifeSoprano92]

SMOKING IN A LAB?!

[dgjnmyerh]

in side that shit has full of ashes

[avcomth]

lol people used to buy cigarettes by the cartons back then weren't they.

[dutymaster1]

loosers :(

[m4freak89]

Be Happy,

Go Lucky !

[Dzwitch]

Each time I smoke I feel like shitting

[TJ2029]

by golly

[metawirt]

If they'd have added some marijuana and re-rolled it, it could be used as a how-to for the spanish way rolling joints... ;)

[gardnerbm]

Wonder are these guys still alive?

[qtpieresse]

Bet they wish they knew what the know now, then.

[elc1960]

@qtpieresse They did, they simply didn't tell anyone.

[generatrix999]

What they don't show here is these guys had gay sex after that earth shattering discovery.

[Lndp4]

LSMFT

[makkertje]

I'll bet those people who got cancer from these cigarettes are not that lucky anymore...

[24RJR]

puff after puff pack after pack then theres cancer

[VivaLaMac666]

[nonplayerzealot4]

Clean and fresh to describe a cigarette...

[woodesroger]

[1967mustanggta]

@woodesroger Thats pretty funny! Cant stop laughing!

[LOPEZAAO]

LUCKY STRIKE (L)

[zugislandfreak]

L.S.M.F.T. !lucky strike means fine tobbaco! ha! lol! i luvvv luckys. there my fav. cigs of all time next to reds (luckys have better taste tho). anyways, good, classic, genuine american cigarette. L.L.L.S. !long live lucky strike!

[hebneh]

And if you take your fresh Luckies apart just to mimic the commercials you've seen on TV, you'll use up the pack quicker and have to go buy some more sooner. That way, more Luckies are sold.

See?

P.S. I see that "Lady of Spain" is no. 6 on this week's episode of "Your Hit Parade".

[isp10man]

....and now with CANCER!

[Sheri451]

That's just what put one of my bossmen in his early grave.

[ceban52]

love this cigatetts, less than 1 dollar in REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA

[Blobstor]

i love those old comercials

so damn stylish

[thegirl44]

Things were stylish, Blobster.

My granddad was just a clerk in a general store, and later a large department store, but he wore a three piece suit to work and never left the house without his hat and overcoat. Nowadays clerks wear cheap uniforms and mass produced aprons.

My father in law was a musician and guitar player and he wore a suit to the academy everyday and mowed the lawn in a dress shirt and slacks. My mother in law wore heels in the house and gloves if she went out.
