1932 Oldsmobile Commercial

[robertTingley]

im very confused

[thefabulousmark]

LOL! What fun!

[TheSRalston]

Ha, haa the 30´s were such crazy times, seems like the animators were in a state of perpetual "horniness", LOL...

[TheSRalston]

LOL, love how vintage that introductory song sounds...it sounds just like the BSharps...LOL "....goodbye my coney island baaaabeeee"

[Weimar76]

I want an Oldsmobile!!! where do I can purchase it?? he he he

[DiddleyBoh]

I liked the part where she licked the candy stick. Bad news, though, when she started chewing on it!

Second place for car tunes goes to Dinah Shore's "See the USA in your Chevrolet."

[COSANOSTRA2OO8]

''Many people taught the automobile would never replace the horse'' hahaha

[02chevyguy]

Why did "Lucille" remind me of Marge Simpson?

[hebneh]

A totally bizarre cartoon, as many of them were back then.

The song "In My Merry Oldsmobile" was quite popular in the very early 1900s. This 1930s cartoon re-uses the song, assuming that adults in movie theaters (where this was originally shown) would still be familiar enough with it to sing along. That, by the way, was the point here - you were supposed to "follow the bouncing ball" and sing along in the audience.

[roytboga]

I love this! Domestic violence, sexual harrassment, peeping tom, sexual innuendos, ITS GREAT!. But whatever I love OLDS!

[DiddleyBoh]

@roytboga Most people were very innocent about sexuality back then. I don't think my parents would have gotten the sexual innuendos. They would have taken the peppermint scene as a silly old bad guy trying to entice a girl with candy. But domestic violence was commonplace. To them, it was a fact of life, ordained by nature, so they didn't see it as a problem. But they did feel it was a private matter, so they disdained men who overdid it and made a public spectacle by injuring their wives.

[logik316]

@roytboga

Yeah, but it shows a woman knocking a man on his ass. Quite a progressive idea for 1932, if you ask me.

[JDMAero]

Ok so essentially, an elderly peeping tom intruder at the start.. o_O

[SourApplez1211]

That's not a commercial, that's a short film.

[QuizGuy66]

Um, so this is supposed to encourage you to buy an Oldsmobile? To be like this guy?

[irvinetustin]

I liked the commercial, I loved the animation. It was truly charming. The only thing I didn't like was the domestic violence ending at 6:13. That was sad and disappointing.

[MiamiIndianTribe]

1:07 SHIT!!!

[ThePretzelHead]

Wow...air bags - sans the bags.

[SubaruXT6]

weird seeing a TV ad before you were born. lol

this commercial is 54 years old before i was born.

[estesoyojajaja]

WHEN WERE YOU BORN?

[SubaruXT6]

1986

[noslenpar]

This is very funny. At 1:55 she licks the stripes off a candy cane. What's that about? Is that an allusion to sucking the chrome off a ball hitch?

[gdement]

The copyright at the beginning looks like it says 1931, not 1932. MCMXXXI

Of course for all we know it might still have been shown in 1932.

[estesoyojajaja]

was he trying to rape the girld, or just fuck a little with'er?

[davey9898]

Is this reall? I just can't imagine an ad like this today.....very very interesting

[estesoyojajaja]

man...what a good comercial,

[honestrunescaper]

This was the really really good old days.

[gdement]

I wouldn't call 1932 the good old days. 25% unemployment. :)

[mauronaranjo]

Like today's.

[gdement]

no.. it's nowhere near that high.

[peppeddu]

WOW!

[oldtimecharlie]

Cars were far more advanced than this by 1932. They even mention "those old cars". If that is tiller steering then it might be a 1900 - 1904 curved dash Oldsmobile. Maybe some car enthusiast knows for sure.

[JasonsCabin1000]

The car shown in this is a very early car. I have a model of the very first Cadillac, 1909, and it looks almost exactly like that. A 32 would've had the 30's look.

[cmichael442]

Oldsmobile has been my DREAM car My first i owned when i was 13, 86 olds hurst shifter wit bucket seats, my second waswhen i was 17 a 86 442 all original.... my bro had a 83 hurst 15th anniversary when he was 18

[TaxiSlim]

What a great find----and since the cartoonist Max Fleischer was the one who created Betty Boop, the raunchiness isn't too surprising. Love that ending, too.

[andyjay729]

I love how they talk without moving their lips. The opposite of dubbed anime.

[joness105639]

Wow, makes me want an oldsmobile agaim. I miss my dads olds.

[02chevyguy]

@joness105639 Shoot, I just miss Olds..PERIOD! I wish they never would've dumped it from the GM line back in 2004. It was a car that was smack dab in the middle...neither inexpensive or expensive.

[DSteez]

Sittin on 22's, straight automobubblin' sun!! ha ha..

[sisterspure]

The 1932 model was just four years before Sister Maud authorised the purchase of a new 1936 Olds. straight eight for the Old Hundred*

[mrtrashcan]

Geez, I never realized how much sexual innuendo there was back then. I used to watch those cartoons but never had an appreciation for the sophistication and cleverness that went into them.

[AlwaysWebsurfing]

Wow, that was random, but cute. I learned a new word today....automobubbling??

[stm333]

LOL...Very odd!

[Whack78]

Haha... "Oldsmobile - pimpin' hoes since 1932!"

[riggs20]

ROFLMAO!!!

[mercapri302]

@Whack78 since 1897!!

[bobanddoug96]

whats with the stripes on the candy?

[Waldocounty]

bobanddoug96: Ever seen a candy cane? Same basis. This is a peppermint stick.

[bobanddoug96]

sweet!

[cybill234]

you know the ladie coulld just get out ther's a hole in the door why did he have to lock it anyways weird.

[GuitarDemon1990]

lol clearly you never watch cartoons... particularly the old ones

[grumpy1927]

Just shows Oldsmobiles are chick magnets!

[DJM442]

btw.... if you want to get a piece of ass this commercial shows it takes and Olds to do it!

[regret13]

lol, very obscure

[EastCoast20]

Wow, this is great. Oldsmoblie was once such a proud car can brand for GM. Too bad they ruined and went to sleep allowing the Japanese to take their once proud place in the auto line up. Oldsmobile should be to GM what Lexus is to Toyota. God help us if we keep on ruining our proud American brands.

[sneyder69]

where can i buy one ? ~'

[route52]

This looks like Max Fleischer studios--Popeye, Felix the Cat, etc.

[Rikko40]

Yeah, it says that at the start.

[noeltheshemale]

wow. Where'd you get this footage?

[dreamingimalive]

Can't remember. It just sort of showed up.

[GenericGene]

This would have gotten a few laughs on the silver screen.  Great Post Thanks.

[D4rKNeSs13]

Long live Oldsmobile. FUCK KIA! Eat rice don't drive it!

[dreamingimalive]

Amen!

[Railer505]

was there even television in 1932?

[Objetivoyrealista]

obviously not, in the teather they played comercials

[uru86]

Perverse lol to say the least...

[lymon800]

damn! mind-blowing!

[MrKnoxville351]

Good old 1930s!!!

[spadesgrim]

old perv lol
