  • ill smoke a big O alright. but i aint fuckin wit dem cigs

  • Men and women both love a smokin O!

  • As if smoking wasn't safe enough, just add the risk of leaning to far to one side and having your face sheared off by the force of 70 MPH worth of icy water, and YOUR GOOD TO GO!

  • Screw you "Truth" campaign smoking always looks cool!

  • back in the 1950s, around 80% of american men and 30% of american women smoked regularly. It often wasn't a matter IF you smoked, but what brand you smoked. Competition was fierce and every brand wanted to make sure you smoked their brand for life. So they'd come up with outrageous advertising like this to get you to think their brand was the best.

  • @aegisofhonor At that time in Ireland, the question they asked on health surveys etc wasn't "Are you a smoker?", it was "Are you a non-smoker (less than 10 cigarettes a day)?"

  • Duke Nukem approves of this ad!

  • gay

  • Wow people complain about commercials now, a commercial about cigs is a minute long O.O

  • @J3rEmY17 im doing a project for economics, and i guess back in the day commercials were up to a half hour long.

  • It's pretty bad that they can't put their cigs down long enough to ski.

  • Smokers who know now smoke the big O.

  • @voltaman33  I do

  • I wonder if he mounted her while skiing also?? Probably while they were both smoking!!

  • Man these guys are badass's, smoking whilst water skiing,truly amazing!

  • Nine out of Ten Cypress Gardens Water-Skiers smoke Oasis Menthol Mist Filters!

  • dont u usually smoke after the big "O"?

  • For fuck sake

  • ha s'like fallout 3 music.

  • ohh its cool to smoke cigarettes

  • Smoke a big OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

  • I posted your video on my FB page.

  • They still sell Candy Cigarettes in the ice cream trucks that come by my area

  • @freeusername100 they sell them in the candy store by my house.

  • This commercial was probably quite ironic 20 years later when they all got lung cancer ndshit

  • I will never be as cool as those two.

  • yes. bcause if i smoked, i would totally water ski while smoking. lol

  • my great great aunt always told me not to smoke because it would burn a hole in my pocket. Way back when cigarettes were allegedly good for you she never did smoke, not for health reasons, but because she couldn't afford it. She'll be 103 in august so she's glad she couldn't afford "the luxury of a fag." I just wish I had of taken her advice :/

  • Look how hot they are! Dayum!

  • Thank you for this video.

    Buy cigarettes online only - it is cheaper!

  • I knew it all the time. Smoking IS good for you. Even doctors smoke. I see them do it when no one is looking. And look at that lady in the video. She's beautiful, all because of cigarettes. I'm not saying that children should smoke. Just start them out on candy cigarettes, just like the ones I grew up with. The, by age 13 teach 'em to light up. At first, little puffs. Later on, a full drag. It is a fact that people who live longest all smoked. Check it out for yourself. Walter Raleigh Lives On!

  • @unclejuniorsoprano Oh God, I'd forgotten all about candy cigarettes. The ads might have been off the air for ages, but candy cigarettes were still around in the mid-90's...all these 'concerned groups' would probably shit themselves at the mere mention of them now. Though I do wonder, considering it's always been illegal for teenagers to smoke, how the hell such a thing ever came to be sold in the first place.

  • @SpamWarrior3000 Great observation & comment. Now that Obama's in power, instead of getting him to stop smoking, his wife's going to go after the kids by putting the fat police in every school. Even still, that won't work. You can't regulate behavior. So, the government either bans it or taxes it, or both.

  • @unclejuniorsoprano They'll never actually ban smoking, no matter how many people howl about it. Cigarettes generate an astronomical amount of tax revenue they'd never manage to make up for with anything else. And the fat police...ugh. When I was a kid there wasn't any of this mumbo-jumbo with fat-free snacks that taste like ass--we just ate real food and then went out and played until we were too tired. Nobody was counting our calories every second of the day.

  • @SpamWarrior3000 Whenever the government wants to help you, grab your wallet & run like hell. Hiliary Clinton's "It Takes a Village" was a best seller & Al Gore made millions on "Earth in the Balance". That shows you the direction our nation is heading. Spank a bratty child & see where it lands you! This is the age of the nanny republic.

  • @unclejuniorsoprano Yeah, there's a difference between being educated about the risks of something, and having it shoved down your throat. I think people should be aware of the risks that come with smoking, but it's a choice that shouldn't be crapped on like it is. It's not like you can smoke anywhere non-smokers would be bothered by it anyway, not anymore.

    @freeusername100 Holy crap, where do you live? I'm in WA state and they'd never get away with that out here.

  • @SpamWarrior3000 candy cigarettes are still around yet. i just bought some a few months ago. the packaging looked like a marboro pack. i used to buy candy cigarettes all the time when i was a kid, always followed with a real cigarette too. i used buy cigarette for my dad when he sent me to the store. i bought my own sometimes too. the enforcement on kids buying cigs didn't get serious untill the late 90's. the store closed after it got in trouble for selling kids cigs 1 too many times.

  • Wicked back then and wicked now!

  • This doesn't make me want to smoke, it makes me want to clean a lake.

    Jeez, I see kids smoking and chewing all the time... I really don't understand. Someone explain to me how this is cool.

    It's a dirty and disgusting habit, it stains your teeth, pollutes your lungs, and makes you smell bad. How is that cool? Seriously.

  • I don't blame the people who lived in the 1940's and 1950's for not knowing any better. Many people at that time didn't know about the dangers of radioactive fallout as in the case of Fallon, Nevada near the Nevada Test Site where Nuclear explosions used to occur. Today we see cancer clusters in that area. Other dangers regarding asbestos, DDT, lead, mercury, and amphetamines were not clearly understood as they are today. Smoking was considered normal behavior back then.

  • @Nguli34689 Smoking is considered NORMAL behaviour today as well. It's just the fucked up anti-smoking slags who whine and complain so much about it.

  • they smoke to relieve the stress of jet skiing

  • Damn... Women used to be... elegant? That's the word?

  • Haven't smoked in years but the best part was opening the pack and getting that fresh smell! Mind you, didn't do the menthol thing.

  • I think this song has a catchy ring to it

  • lol "The Big-O!"

    I didn't know cigarettes could give you that...

  • My mom smoked those for a week a she told me her throat hurt like hell!

    Don't. Smoke. Oasis.

    They're not smooth and light! D:

  • Wow! This is very appealing. I think I'm gonna start smoking now.

  • I didnt know it was legal back then.

  • "Menthol mist

    So mild, so light

    Makes every puff

    A smooth delight"

    For those who are wondering, in the closeup shots (:23, :37, and :48), they're not actually waterskiing. They're standing on a boat, holding a rope that's either tied to something or is being held by someone off-camera, to keep it taut. That's how they're able to keep their Menthol Mist Oasis cigarettes lit while they chat nonchalantly. In the long shots, where they're actually skiing, you can see it's not so easy.

  • MMMMMMMM MENTHOL MIST!!!11!!!

  • You want me to smoke Oprah?

  • Rod Serling used to reccomend Oasis cigarettes toward the end of his Twilight Zone series. He would also put in a good word for Chesterfield cigarettes too.

    He had a cigarette in his hand as he narrated the series. He died from a heart condition in the early 1970's when he was hosting The Night Gallery.

  • @Nguli34689 : I read that rod cerling smoked 3+ packs of cigarettes a day

  • @inkey2 People in the 1950's and '60s used to smoke quite a lot. Neither tobacco or alcohol were considered to be drugs back then. Cigarettes went for a quarter a pack and a carton for $2. There were no warning labels on cigarette packs and commercials such as this were almost everywhere. Rod Serling picked up this habit from the times when such activity was considered normal.

  • @Nguli34689 People didn't know it causes lung cancer.

  • @weasalw NO, they didn't know that it causes lung cancer. In the 1950's some doctors have recommended smoking. Also, a Jimson Weed preparation known as "Asthmador" was available as a cigarette to be smoked for asthma. In the 1920's when the medical students had to cut up a cadaver before you become a doctor, these students had to smoke to get rid of the stench from a corpse.

  • @Nguli34689 Ya, so I don't blame my parents for smoking since they didn't know any better.

  • @Nguli34689 Actually, "Night Gallery" had ended in 1973, two years before Rod Serling died.

    He was only 50.

    Had he not smoked, he probably would have created more TV shows, movies, etc. over the last 35 years.

  • @altfactor You're right about Serling dying of a heart attack in 1975, two years after the Night Gallery ended. He narrated "Encounter With the Unknown" which was shown to the public in 1975. I apologize for the error in dates.

    Yes, his smoking contributed to his heart condition that sent him to an early grave. He is seen smoking on the set. I remember a time when you could smoke in the doctor's office, inside the hospital, and at school.

    He was a writer as well as a decorated WWII veteran.

  • dude. i wanna jet ski and smoke at the same time. fun!

  • Smoke the big O...that's funny.

  • Ban tobacco Legalize Hash I like that better

  • Because according to the US government (and the UK government too), we smokers aren't people.

    Actually it's to do with the whole idea of rights being used responsibly. It's seen as irresponsible to advertise cigarettes. Just like the first amendment doesn't cover the incitement of racial hatred and violence or conspiracy to murder et cetera.

    Even if that weren't true, how many broadcasters in the world do you reckon would carry cigarette ads nowadays?

  • commercial was filmed at Cypress Gardens Florida

  • Wow, these cigarettes must be good, THEY'RE WATER PROOF!

  • Thats the test of a good smoke IMO :D

  • Lmao this commercial is funny as shit. The chicks kinda hot to :o

  • That's your grandma

  • Her bush would've been ENORMOUS!

  • hahahahahahaha. Maybe thats why they had to wear that kind of swimsuit lol.

  • hahah ya. Thank god it aint like that anymore!

  • Comment removed

  • Golly gee! That sure sounds great! I'm going to go smoke an Oasis Menthol Cigarette while I talk about those ruskie commies with my good pal Johnny!

  • And then Johnny will make a pass at me,and then I'll go home and write all about it in my diary!

  • how the shit do you smoke while being blasted in the face with water

  • Or other fluids?

  • @pinbacksc Yeah really !! Maybe Oasis gives you and your cigarette magical powers. lol

  • @pinbacksc Thats cuase ion the 50's the water and air wer different

  • @pinbacksc because its the big O it can do anything!

  • @pinbacksc By smoking Oasis of course!!!!! xD

  • lmao.

    There smoking and water skiing.

  • When you could afford to not worry about dropping a packs worth of cigarettes while water skiing... why cant pack still be less than a dollar?

  • SMOOOOOOOOKE on the water.

  • LOL what a funny ad...

    They really had no idea in the world back then..... Poor people

  • refreshing menthol mist lol that is funny

  • That is the most ridiculous ad I've ever seen. Smoking while water skiing. What won't they think of next?

  • Comment removed

  • Musicboy Ha Ha, what a video for a music

    gig. Alright, but let's also blindfold the drivers to really institute a chance outcome senario.

  • I love how they're having a casual chat while smoking while they're watersking lol

  • My 87 year old uncle smokes two packs a

    day since a kid. he also went to WWII. He

    never got cancer, never been disabled. But others in my family, never smoked but

    had worried too much, got strokes and heart attacks, died young. Go figure....

  • its simple to figure.........if you blindfolded 100 people and asked them to cross the Motorway (interstate) some of them by chance would make it to the other side but most of them would die. Thats the same analogy for smoking!

  • No its not a good analogy. Its piss poor to tell you the truth.

  • i have a similar story

  • Life certainly isn't fair Carminefrgione. My grandmother's best friend smoked two packs a day and lived to 98, but his wife who NEVER smoked, died of lung cancer when she was 60, probably from second hand smoke.

  • Scampergirl, many people worked in the

    WWII era in factories and was exposed to dangerous chemicals that can later in life

    cause cancer. Also, naturally occurring Radon Gas is found in many homes and

    causes people who never smoked to get

    cancer. There is also the fact that Stress

    can weaken the immune system and invite cancerous cells to get a start and

    overpower the life of a healthy person. The answers are not easy about cancer,

    smoking is an invitation to cancer, but not

    a cause

  • Carmine, although I agree that Stress is absolutely instrumental in our health, the overriding evidence through MANY studies indicate a direct correlation between the chemicals in cigarettes and cancer. Smoking is not only an invitation, it CAUSES changes in the actual cells that lead to very specific types of cancer, not just lung, bladder and cervical being a few.

  • Uhh...wouldn't waterskiiing put your cigarette out?

  • Cheesy computer graphics! Ha! I bet those one-handed skiers wish they could have green-screaned it after 50 takes!

  • They didn't have computer graphics in the 50s... or 60s.

  • Good corrdination, smoking and water-skiing at the same time.

  • I want to smoke while i water ski.............

  • I like Cigarettes.

  • look ma,i can waterski one handed.

  • and they get the BIG O!

  • OMG they are water-skiing! That's DANGEROUS! Fools!

  • You got to admit that smoking is cool and makes you attractive. Hey teenagers, if you want some action and want your peers to hold you in high regard, I suggest you start smoking. You can always just quit if you decide you don't like it.

  • haha what the fu*k? you should put lol after your statement, otherwise someone mite take you seriously

  • no smoking ruins your lungs and gives you yellow teeth and makes you look UNattractive

  • Well, it was an ezier time...

    Today, u may complain that:

    - they smoke cigarettes

    - they don't wear a lifejacket

    - the boat is polluting the lake

    Now, society has made the choices for us, protecting our health but it's boring living...

  • whats so cool about smoking, let alone on a water ski? come on man, get a life.

  • me 2

  • Now when did you ever see someone water skiing and smoking at the same time? Big O; should have called it the big C.

  • refreshing cancerous menthol mist

  • HAHAHAHA! Nobody saw the danger of cancer back then...and apprarantly nobody thought about the dangers of smoking and waterskiing either! LOL! The cig would never stay lit or DRY!

  • Oh yeah, smoke a fag while water skiing, now that's what I call cool man.

  • I hope they get out of breath and wheeze and cough phlegm and blood from trying to smoke while strenuously water-skiing...that'll teach 'em not to take up such a vile filthy habit.

  • damn, I can see why tv cigarette commercials were banned. I hate cigarettes, but now I want some lol

  • old good time...

  • relax dude...it's just a choice, sounds like you have smoking issues. It will be okay...just go smoke.

  • Smoke the Big O for the Big C. (cancer that is)

  • suck my fat white american cock bitch

  • agree

  • u r a mother fucker

  • Impressive how they can waterski one-handed, I'd like to see her light it up though!

  • Hey, Cypress Gardens. Cool.

  • That song is wayyyy to campy.

  • Not only do they have that refreshing menthol mist, they're waterproof too!

  • if the dumb blonde didn't taste like an ashtray...I'd like to give her the big O

  • Let me grab a smoke while I am on the Stairmaster.

  • smoking while you are WATER SKIING? WTF??

  • haha

  • Every cigarette commercial has some catchy little child sounding tune. Crazy!

  • lol did you miss the fact that they were water skiing?

  • Wow, they can water ski and smoke Oasis at the same time.

  • I like how he keeps saying "O-asis".

  • hahah. thats awesome.

  • i'm a smoker... that is just downright absurd and hilarious.

  • when it does the close up of them taking a hit, the smoke doesnt fly behind them, their not moving, lol

  • I thought you smoked after the big o?

  • jajajajajaajajaj

  • Smoke a big O into your lungs...

  • i have never seen a cigarret ad...when did they stop putting them on tv?

  • around 1971 in the united states

  • the great days when white people ruled now some kind of shit took over

  • Why are they waterskiing? When i waterski i often only thinks about not falling! They are awesome! They can smoke and waterski! KOOOL!

  • The big "O", perfect for getting the big "C".

  • lol

  • then youll be big f'd

  • u fuknuts lied 2 me u sed menthol mist but my gf threw up in my moutn

  • I actually tried that once. Didn't turn out well.

  • smoke em if u got em

  • I guess the Oasis ciggies were waterproof, too. Whoodathunkit?

  • lol

  • haha so nice ;)

  • they'd be even better if they inhaled them.

  • I'm not condoning smoking, but I knew a couple of my aunts smoked well into their 80's, and know many people presently who are 70 and over and who've smoked all their lives. I think its nasty, but some people are highly addicted...and if they can afford it, some of them may smoke until they're quite old

  • i know some people like that too, but their lungs are FUCKED. they're alive, but the next closest thing to dead.

  • every1 who smokes i think kids wil have a better futre. y would u try to kill urself 7 mins at a time. every1 who smokes go jump off a cliff!
