@baileybushey Well there I agree with you BB - obviously these ads would (indeed, do) look very quaint in 2011! B&W is no longer a common format, fashions in clothing, music, social attitudes, language have utterly changed. I'm only concerned that some people might not see beyond their obvious (and inevitable) datedness, and appreciate the artistry and technical skill that they embody. Their virtues can still teach us something valuable.

@Fredigundis22 uhh, i dont know. these are great ads, but it prolblably wouldent work in todays society. sorry for upsetting u.
-
@baileybushey I don't understand. Do you mean that posting comments on YouTube is a sub-species of texting, and that normal typographical conventions can therefore be dispensed with? If you think so, you are mistaken.
-
@Fredigundis22 isnt that what posting comments is?

@Fredigundis22 The funny thing is, looking at some of these ads, I'm not sure that "JekyllBoote" is right in describing them as technically crude. The very first ad, the Bud commercial, is made like a feature film and is both beautifully lit and cleverly edited. These are very high production values, by any standards, and wouldn't come cheap, then or now.

@baileybushey "JekyllBoote" is saying that there are aesthetic criteria that transcend the technology of any particular time (such as our own). He/she is saying, furthermore, that judged by those criteria, these old, "naive"-seeming ads are artistically superior to those of today. That wasn't so difficult, was it? By the way, please get out of the bad habit of using text-speak in your posts, learn to capitalise and punctuate properly and avoid the use of meaningless filler words (e.g."like").

@JekyllBoote so like ur saying these ads were great in this time?
-
awesome

Doesn't these times seem so enlightening and sweet? Being a kid now sucks. All the television shows suck eggs.

It's easy to sneer at these commercials for their naivety and crudity, but actually - in terms of the technology available at the time - they're vastly artistically superior to those of today.
In particular, they're more visually, verbally and musically literate.

The atmosphere these commercials is completely different from todays.
