[TheMacMan35]

4:20... Ooohhh YEAH! He's getting' sum later... Nice CTEPEO!

[ObiTeninch]

Russians must have some serious attention spans to sit through that shit. Those were long commercials.

[Manimal347]

@ObiTeninch

Oh, they must have been a patient lot, waiting in lines for hours for something, anything, only to buy a poorly made tie or a tin of deformed pickles. Then, to spend time trading for something they actually wanted. Yeah. Patience indeed.

[ObiTeninch]

@Manimal347 Deformed pickles, ha!

[Pederson1995]

@ObiTeninch i know right!? damn soviets...

[gibbonsarms]

Wow, I need to get me one o them spinning HOBO AVENUE lamps.

[SvenMarbles]

"Buy our suits or the police will come to your house and beat you with clubs"

[123ATOM321]

These actually look like good (typically 1980's) commercials that get straight to the point unlike todays crap!

[KaleunMaender77]

@123ATOM321 But they get to the point... and then get to the point... and then get to the point... and overkill it over one whole minute. Mind you, seeing as they didn't have ads until Gorbachev came to power, they should be wholly forgiven.

[Krydeer]

adobe after effects suck)))

[smclo03]

How did ipods ever become popular when there were walkmans like that?

[Lyon194]

hahaha! No one in the Soviet Union could have afforded this stuff. Just ask Yakov Smirnoff

[v19d]

Wonder how all this stuff fit into a cramped government house

[PhysiologicAli]

10 roubles lol

[drav1dan]

Ad for The Comrade's Wearhouse: "I guarantee it ... will be ill-fitting".

[lenhadorvermelho]

Man, the soviets invented the two headphones music player!

[ayaytc]

does it even make sense to advertise in a controlled economy? like is there a purpose (are they actually competing for consumers)?

[Matishels]

@ayaytc Good point. Market was controlled. Ads where needed for new products (like that "light ad" ) and for overproduced products.

[CptNeutralize]

They love techno very much

[HannsKlopps]

@ludek92 And in Polish too :d

[42proyon]

take away the different languge and i wouldn't doubt this was american "hits head against wall"

[SouthwesternEagle]

[ghandi92]

@SouthwesternEagle рекΛама means commercial, and you prononuce it "reklama"

[SouthwesternEagle]

@ghandi92 Thanks so much! btw, isn't Λ a Greek letter? I couldn't find it in the Cyrillic Alphabet.

[figraa]

@SouthwesternEagle Λ=L cmiiw

[jonathan19960804]

[JohnnyMidnight1]

@jonathan19960804 also hungarian!!!

[SouthwesternEagle]

"новое изделие" means NEW PRODUCT.

[tsartodd]

@SouthwesternEagle haha i thought it meant "hobo button"

[WwIGORwW]

a minute and a half commercial for a fucking light switch.

A walkman with with 2 audio jacks..in genius. I Love how they call it 'Miniature.

Russians learning to market to each other.. Pathetically funny.

[SouthwesternEagle]

I love listening to my new CTEPEO

[GreatGodSajuuk]

@SouthwesternEagle I actually have 4 speakers of the same company that live to this day two S90Fs and two S30Bs, they still sound ok too, good ol Radiotehnika.

I don't regret USSR folding tho, it was a very very good thing, gave us our freedom back too.

[SouthwesternEagle]

Man they had some serious 80's new wave goin' on in the background.

[gwelsh123]

is this an advert for a light switch?

[poorake]

wtf am I watching

[Longlivethereds1]

No! what do you mean?

[Longlivethereds1]

The 80s wasa tacky, weird and dirty decade and I mean evreywhere, evan in the CCCP

[DeckerBens]

@Longlivethereds1 Did you die?..

[marcor5000]

At 1:56: Funny to see that music and the yuppie-culture of the 80's also made it to the USSR. If the shoulderpads had been a little bigger it would have been perfect ;-) And I totally agree with @tuberALEX. Commercials of today are simply too loud and too fast. Here in Denmark some of the stories are so far out that they sometimes make the brand look rather untrustworthy.

[TazeTSchnitzel]

What's funny about this is that the entire Soviet economy was state-owned. So all these ads... are for the government.

[uras1995]

Old comercials are the best,not this today crap

I cant stop laughing every time i see this

[dogfish1602]

We should have nuked them long before they ever had a chance to develop the dual headset portable cassette player.

[dogfish1602]

@dax93ify I was only joking. I don't care who had better nukes. I am just happy they were never launched.

[dax93ify]

@dogfish1602

in 50s USA was in great danger, becouse only USSR had Intercontinental rockets,but USSR was great country and they let USA to exist.

[DickMoJones]

@dax93ify dont forget the US was considering using the atomic bomb on the Russians soon after WWII when the Soviets didnt even have a bomb. The Soviets also had a policy of not striking first, so to say they "let" the US exist is absurd. The Soviets were unfairly branded 'The Evil Empire" by Ronald Reagan (a cunt of the highest order) yet it was the US who instigated most of the aggression. Imagine how different it would be now if the USSR and US could have been friends...Such a shame.

[dax93ify]

@DickMoJones you are right.and just imagine if USSR and USA was friends,no cold war,no berlin wall,interesting..

[2010theraver]

the background music is pretty

[Chris242tt]

i feel sorry for the russians who had to watch this shit.

[MaoiMeowi2]

I see the USSR also suffered from the stupidity of 80's culture.

[100yroldbaby]

in Soviet Russia, advertisements advertises YOU!

[super58173]

In Soviet Russia, commercials watch you.

[SlightyDisturbedNBK]

@super58173 Fuck off

[super58173]

@SlightyDisturbedNBK - Shut it and relax.

[SlightyDisturbedNBK]

@super58173 I will relax when you delete that stupid comment.

[super58173]

@SlightyDisturbedNBK - No. Why are you complaining anyway!?

[SlightyDisturbedNBK]

@super58173 Sick and tired of hearing that 'in soviet russia' crap, over used and over rated memes. The original joke was funny, but this is not.

[super58173]

@SlightyDisturbedNBK - That's it? Welcome to the internet. Tell it to Mama Luigi.

[SlightyDisturbedNBK]

@super58173 The Internet was better back in 1995.

[SlightyDisturbedNBK]

@super58173 We never had to contend with all this meme crap.

[super58173]

@SlightyDisturbedNBK - Too ture... who even makes this stuff?

[bureX]

Dress well, comrades!

[suryadithya]

@Travmapunk Last time I checked, did means past tense..

[suryadithya]

OMG.. I thought the ads I had to endure in India some 15 years ago as horrific.. Compared to these they are works of art.. Today we make some of the best commercials in the world though..

And why did they have all those prisons in Siberia.. Wasn't forcing people to watch these ads enough punishment?

[Travmapunk]

@suryadithya wtfayta????? All those prisons in Siberia.......??? Hey man Stalin is dead and USSR do not exist anymore! Update

[trhaley]

LOL old bullshit sovet propagenda

[MaurizioM89]

i read somewhere that soviet-time (like 70-80s) electronics goods where made by "Electronika" and where really reliable

[Audinos]

@MaurizioM89 Vintage Elektronika clocks and calculators often sell for large amounts on Ebay.

[junkieinformant]

I need that walkman

[kareemFromEurope]

WTF IS THIS SHIT ABOUT

[lukasm14]

@kareemFromEurope The first commercial is about a voltage controller switch (to control the power of the light), the second is about costumes.

[juanlmesl]

1:57 mens warehouse your going to like the way you look i guarantee it! XD

[lukasm14]

And I thought that there were no ads and TV recorders in Soviet times.

Я думал что в советское время рекламах и рекордерах телевидении не было.

[Mesalinaval]

@lukasm14 Yes there were!

[lukasm14]

@Mesalinaval Well, my parents and grandparents were living in Soviet times (Lithuania(n SSR)) and said that they didn't see a single TV recorder anywhere until 1991.

[DocGorilla]

hmm according to comments here, all one needs are walkmans and fancy lamps and they are "just like the United States"

[kosmonaut5]

growing up in the 90's you were taught that the soviet union was this backwarad country that didnt follow the times...who would have thought they would of had fancy mini-chandeliers and were fans of the beatles :P

[chmarina]

Omg! I love that mini stereo! It has a double jack that not even my state-of-the-art iPod doesn't have! :D

[StG45m]

@TheMaxwell777

With bonus: Ushanka straight from Red Army stocks and pocket bear with balalaika.

[Mesalinaval]

@StG45m Your forgot about vodka and that it was really cold there. We did not need bears they usually danced in the streets with balalaikas.

[spacehelmetforacow]

nice to see that even the soviet union was never as bad as modern-day North Korea.

how'd they build themselves a Nuke? most of their people don't even have Electricity!

[linasphere]

HOBOE

[BrockJohnsonTV]

1:49 is where is starts getting interesting

[solojinglesradio1]

Are they using perhaps a panasonic mixing images table? I used one of them and it has some of the effects from second advertisement

[Jh5kRadio]

Pre-Glasnost period commercials ftw?

[StG45m]

@Jh5kRadio

It was Glasnost era commercials.

[Jh5kRadio]

@StG45m Ah. That explains the commercials themselves.

[StG45m]

@Jh5kRadio

indeed, because before the Glasnost there was no commercials at all (excluding state commercial about some state initiative or product)

[marcusantonio91]

In soviet union, you don't wear suit, suit wears you

[ni1981kly]

So, it means, that electrostatic sensors (I mean advertisement no.1) have been created by USSR at least 5 years before Apple Computers introduced touchpad. USSR always ruled

[thesagem]

@ni1981kly Or it just operates using a potentiometer... =/

[jacoboforlando]

@ni1981kly I think you are so nationalist none of what i say will matter, but inventing something is only one step into the complete process of producing it economically on a mass scale and then creating the need among buyers.

If you're Russian, you probably wont agree, hence the year 1989

[xkayleighx1]

WOW my country really made some shit commercials back then XDDD

[Francisco81a]

Check it out on 3:46! The first Soviet Walkman!! Uber Cool...

[jamesjames900]

does anyone know what the drug policy was in the ussr? what would happen if you were caught with pot?

[bushbarnes]

@jamesjames900 you would bribe the cop and or the judge.



[celshader]

That men wear commercial looks a bit like a Kraftwerk filmclip.

[kurioido]

Где мой выключатель с сенсорным управлением?!

Не "портативный", а "миниатюрный"!

[thugproofclips]

the 80s looked crap anyways

[BatNuklier]

this had to be back in the early 80s

[prlad85]

What does Hoваe словаря mean?

[orangedac]

in the 80s, i was a young boy and the only thing i ever heard about the USSR was that it was an evil empire.

I thought US = good and USSR = evil

its amazing how propaganda brainwashes us

[bctst]

@orangedac It's amazing how ignorant you actually are of the USSR maybe start looking into the gulag system and go from there, idiot.

[orangedac]

@bctst

are you saying USSR was good or USSR was bad ?

when i was a small boy in the 80s, i thought it was an evil country. like dracula's castle. that's what the media told us and that's what we believed - wrong though it may have been.

[bctst]

@orangedac Perhaps you should look at what former KGB agents had to say about the USSR and why they decided to defect. They didn't have freedom of speech. They couldn't criticize their government or ask q's like we can..

You have to be completely oblivious or something....

[Spike00513z]

they're doing it to muslims too right now. fuck the government, little CIA bullshit n all that lil faggotry

[Lemonizm]

@orangedac Of course things aren't black and white (as you are saying,) but having lived in both countries, I would definetly have preferred to lived the 80's in the US. For example, there was no toilet paper in the USSR. Everybody used newspaper (which used a lead based ink for print.) Whatever you say or think about your southern neighbor, life in the USSR was no fun.

[StG45m]

@Lemonizm

There was toilet paper but it was very hard to obtain it.

[Mesalinaval]

Yeah it was in kolbasa!

[Mesalinaval]

@StG45m Yeah it was in kolbasa!

[atrumdecretum]

@orangedac The Berlin Wall!--Stalin had more people put to death than Hitler did! whew two off the top of my head, I could compile a fucking list if you like. Your were never told the Soviet people were evil.

[BillKiernan]

@orangedac and these shitty ads changed your mind?

[PersianOlive]

@orangedac nowadays the only terrorists are muslims..

[kietasiss]

@orangedac yes tell that to 300000 lithuanian people ( its a small country ) who was send to syberia or killd just because they wanted freadom . partisans had to live in the forest for years and fight for freadom . this is not propaganda this is history

[vital510]

I need second track, somebody knows?)))))

[hrebik]

i WANT that suit:-D

[prlad85]

@hrebik No you don't trust me. They looked high quality but they broke easily. Just one pull and the whole thing collpased like that. They were so delicate.

Have a great one! Puerto Rican Love from New York City!

[tuberALEX]

Man, these commercials are actually nice. Not like the filthy capitalist ones that screw with peoples heads in north america. Here in Canada advertisements are really flashy, fast, and distracting. They distort and confuse you. Also often the story of the commercial has nothing to do with the product.

In soviet Russia, at least the commercials were to the point, and no bullshit attatched. Plus it didnt send a message of greed that you HAVE to have it.

Aside from quality & lenght, I prefer these

[FuhQTube]

But that's not all! Order one HOBOE N3AEnNE in the next ten minutes and get another ABSOLUTELY FREE! That's two HOBOE N3AEnNEs for the price of one!

[WildLouie]

Yeah - this would never fly over here in the U.S...not GAY enough !

[Durimanful]

Это прикол, или это было на самом деле?

[elena79rus]

@Durimanful

Думаю что либо прикол, либо это уже что-то из начала 90х, причем не с центральных талеканалов, а откуда-нибудь с местных телеканалов в каком-нибудь Мухосранске. Такого в Москве точно не показывали. Да и в 80-е годы советское телевидение еще не допускало никакую рекламу. Такое понятие как "рекламные ролики" появилось только в 90-е годы.

[YayeBal]

@elena79rus Возражение. Была реклама. Её показывали перед программой время. Если тебя после "спокойной ночи малыши" укладывали спать - это твоя проблема. Это блин именно та реклама.

[elena79rus]

@YayeBal

Меня никто спать не укладывал. В Москве такого не показывали. И для рекламы никогда не выбирали определенного времени. Когда в России стали рекламу показывать, то ее показывали и днем, постоянно, в любое время.

[YayeBal]

@elena79rus Ну что значит "не показывали"? Если 79 Ваш год рождения, то странно что не помните. Это, мать её, советская реклама. Непорочная как маманя Иисуса. Году в 89м 90-м показывали 10-15 минутные блоки про продукцию советских заводов под шапкой "Реклама, коллаж". А всякие "сникерсы", "Панасоники", Фирма "Томо", "Сэлдом" и "Инкомбанки" поперли уже под апокалипсис и их показывали уже в любое время.

[Ronbo710]

I like seeing these old ads :). 

[ar15expert]

It's a dimmer switch. A switch that dims. Shit.

[Jh5kRadio]

Hooray for Russian Dimmer Switches!

[jg112393]

What is the name of the song in the first commercial? Or was it written for it?

@jg112393 the song that starts at 0:31 is callled "Machines" and was taken from Giorgio Morodor's soundtrack for Metropolis
