I was 14 that winter in northern michigan. I became so fed up with the state of commercialism I would go out and spend the evening shoveling snow. This was the era of chintziness..pound the made up message through cheap production. We were fresh out of our bicentennial, pushing crap like pintos and vegas. Gas had just jumped from 50 cents to 2 dollars. Pushing crap was nothing new, but at this point everyone had a tv and phone, cable was the rage, and a video tape recorder could be carried on a shoulder. This half hour only reminds me of why we're so much more f****d up lately. I think we're better off with charlie brown and dr seuss.
I often think about being able to go back in time for just a day in the 70s as a kid when my parents were alive. Riding my bike everywhere, playing outside from sun up till sun down. God I miss those times.
Same here as well. I remembered so many of these commercials, and several triggered some long ago conditioned response to think I was about to head out the door and go outside.
Right, it’s unfortunate kids today don’t get the same chance with all the evil in the world. We could stay out all day at friends house and come back when the street lights came on. I miss those days too!
carrychris2010 funny that we got up and walked through 6 feet of shag carpet to switch channels, and NOW, I value these commercials like they were gold.
The best part about being young, was being young. I was 10 in 77. I like the ads for TV shows. Gathering around the TV for Happy Days, Six Million Dollar Man. Good times.
Everyone thinks times were best when they were kids. I’m a kid of the 70’s/80’s. I feel like I had it best. I grew up without technology, yet I was young enough to adapt to it. How awesome is it that we are able to watch these old commercials? Thanks to technology! But, even the Millennials will one day reminisce about the good ‘ol days.
Back then the internet was just an idea for most of us. We imagined the future with video screens where we could talk to people around the world instead of just on the phone. Now we do it for reals. We thought we'd be able to punch some things into a computer keyboard and get a bunch of information, and we actually can now. We can learn about almost anything. I thought I was going to be rich and famous in the future. Hasn't quite worked out yet, but maybe. So much has come true.
The '70s were definitely a lot of fun! In 1977, I was 18, and my boyfriend at the time and I would take long drives in his car, with music on the radio extra loud! 🌠
I’m close to your parents age, the 70’s were awesome years, not as innocent as the commercials depict but people seemed more friendly and kinder back then.
I was 12 in 1977. I can't believe that I remember every word of these jingles! I have been binge watching 70's sitcoms... those were the care free days I miss so much!
@@bellablow4287 Vietnam war for America ended in 1973 . I was only 8 years old so barley remember the war. No war until the First Gulf War in 1991. By then i was 26. We were lucky to be one of the generations who grew up with America at peace in the 20th century. The generation between World War 1 and World War 2 knew a 20 year peace but they had the Great Depression to live through followed by a World War.

Was 11 years old in 1977. No smart phones, computer games, and kids played outside all summer . So much better than where we’re currently at. Happier times for sure
Same..Born 01/21/1966... What a great time to be a kid..I remember my parents let us stay up a little longer to view the pilot of a new show..That show was "There's Company" and I just new it was going to be a hit... lol 😁👍

I'm 53 now and watching these I ended up remembering most of these only midway through many of them. Some of them came back immediately. Talk about a blast from the past. I sat watching these not realizing how long I'd been sitting here.

I was 14 years old in 1977 and remember all this. It was a much-less rushed time, the girls smiled at you and the entertainment and food were better. Even the commercials were timed to the same pace as whatever TV show you happened to be watching. This was also the year (1977) that the original Star Wars film first premiered and American television rediscovered science fiction, which would extend far into the 1980s and beyond.
I feel the same way , my parents passed away too. I still have pleasant memories of them . Sometimes , when I'm in Google Newspaper Archives I go to the comic strips and tv section in Southern California newspapers from the 1970s. I think about the times when my parents were alive , we owned our own home and staying outside playing until night. We ate dinner at the table as a family and watched the same movies and tv shows.😢
Thank you so much for posting these. I think what's in these commercials that is absent in today's commercials is dignity and maturity. Even the silly ones project more refinement than today's commercials. Thanks again.
How funny. As a kid in 1977 I would buzz out of the living room as soon as the commercial break started. As an adult in 2015 I'm sitting here watching those commercials on UA-cam. :) Thanks for the video!
I don't know where you are from but this was not a simple time at all where I came from. Factories were shutting down that had existed for decades, most of my friends mothers and fathers were affected by this. Unemployment was high, construction was down, the only thing there was to do after high school graduation was to either keep working at the fast food dump, join the Army or waste more of your life by going to the junior college for lack of anything else to do. It was not a simple time my dear.
TheChuck624 If you were living in Texas during the 70s and 80s, yes it was a great time. If you were living in California during those times, not so great. I got to experience both places during those times.
TheChuck624 Yeah but I think they might have been referring to something like one feeling younger not to mention the people that were alive...etc...just sayin
The Lil Boy Fishin and singin has got to be one of the most classic tv ads ever. I'm 57 and still hear it in my head when I am shopping for lunch meat!!! Yay
I was so excited when the 1980s got here. I was 14 years old at the time. I never thought today, I'd be wishing the 1970s were still here? The '70s are gone forever, but you can believe I'll never forget them!
Commercials nowadays suck because people have lost their sense of humor and get butt hurt over every little thing. This video made me realize how much i miss the 70's and 80's.
they're so bad these days, I do anything to avoid them. I used to like watching the commercials back then though and seeing these, many times I'm reminded how many celebs wre in these before they were famous
saintquinn007 I agree, I can remember back in the 70's when blacks and whites were ''equal'' in all tv commercials...neither one was too intelligent nor too stupid..
Mehhhhhh, you're just old. If these formats were as effective as their contemporary counterparts they'd still be around. Advertising changes with the times and culture. Good or bad.
I really miss these times; I was just a kid in junior high but life back in the late 60s and 70s brought so much more joy than it does today. Miss the commercials, music and all the wonderful memories!
I started singing along with OSCAR MAYER BOLONGA commercial the cute little boy fishing 🎣 I hadn’t heard that jingle in Decades and I sang it perfectly along 🤩 so proud of myself and my 70s and 80s vault
Back then during commercials, you maybe had enough time to go to the bathroom before the show was back on. Today you forget what you were watching before the show comes back on. Used to be they showed commercials to supplement the show, now the commercials are the show and whatever show you are watching is the filler.
Wow. These commercials took up a lot of my brain capacity! I haven't thought about them for decades - but I know every word, jingle, most all the dialogue, edits, takes … Geesh! The acting! The sexism! The voiceovers! A fun watch. Thank you for posting this. Cheers!
I was a pre-schooler back in 1977, but in a weird way I feel like I "know" some of these commercials like deep memories. Thank you for posting!!! It's sad how commercials are now.
It was the 70s. All they did was have sex back then. She probably banged her boyfriend before and after filming every day. No such thing as AIDS back then and their older siblings, the hippies, destroyed all morals. At least I think that's how it worked back then. I might be wrong.
How I miss those halcyon days of being a kid in the 1970s! Hangin'' my transistor radio from the handlebars of my Huffy bike and ridin' around the subdivision listenin' to Andy Gibb "I Just Want To Be Your Everything" or Foreigner "Feels Like the First Time" to name a couple. Because that's what we did as kids in the 70s--WE WENT OUTSIDE. No damn video games or cell phones, drinkin' real Coca-Cola out of an 8oz glass bottle, riding around in the back of a pick up truck w/o the SWAT Team or Protective Services being called out, no school shootings, and NO DAMN CAMERAS WATCHIN' OUR EVERY MOVE! I'm sorry for being so dogmatic, but ya'll who grew up in the 1970s know exactly what I'm saying.
All these posted sentiments reflect my thinking exactly, how nostalgic we all are for the better times of yesteryears. Things were more fundamentally sound, and living was consequently more enjoyable.
I hear you Ridgerunner. I was there too and miss those halcyon days in the 1970s as a kid and it made us Generation Xers into who we are today. We will set things straight as the new incoming establishment as the baby boomer-hell and decline they ushered into the world is on the way out with them.
Good Lord. Tv has changed so much. This is actually entertaining to watch old commercials. Will people be saying that about todays commercials 40 yrs from now?? I surely doubt it !!!!!
Thank you for sharing! I remember every single one of these commercials growing up.. I loved them.. They had substance. Those were the good ole days. I really miss them.
Bobby Brady Seeing as how black people are very much discriminated against in america in 2019, i would hate to imagine how my family would be treated in the 70s. Would I get the education that I deserved? Would I be able to get a job that I deserved over someone of a different race? If you think racism hasn’t been a problem since the 60s you are ignorant and entitled. Every race can be racist, and you sound racist currently so please calm down. Bobby you can’t speak for what you have not gone through, thank you have a good morning evening or night.
Bobby Brady How about stop generalizing all black people? As well as stop this stereotype that all black people are aggressive lazy bums who do not try to better society. I never said most white americans are racist because that is obviously not true. I said that black people are discriminated against in America which is true. This goes for any other minority. Must be really sad to be so close minded to what goes on in your own country
My mother used to serve powdered milk to my sister and me. We cried. Seriously we did. It was awful. Damn you Vicki Lawrence, telling your lies straight from the pit of hell. 15:00
andan04 my mom made it too, mixed it with whole milk, was seriously discussing. my friends would come over and gag at a glass of milk. my mom gave them whole milk, cause they weren't used to it.
And she can't even pronounce milk correctly. I remember that from when this first aired and I was a little kid. She pronounces it "miwk". Odd they would get a spokesperson who can't even pronounce the product.
Personally, I wish in many ways, things now were the same as they were in the 70s. I look at how our economy has gone since then and I think that instead of going forward, we have actually gone backwards. Not nearly as many moms worked outside the home as they do now, a university education was expensive but affordable for most middle-class families, the US still had a solid manufacturing base, there was much less personal debt than there is now and I honestly cannot think of any mass shooting in schools and post offices back then. Many people remember the 70s for the high inflation and interest rates and the long gas lines at the pump but what most of these people may not realize that despite these problems, there was actually higher economic growth in the 70s than there was in the 80s or 90s. When I see how many people live today, I oftentimes think that we no longer have a middle class. The middle class today has a much lower standard of living than the middle class did 30-40 years ago. Yes, according to official statistics, we are still a predominantly middle-class society but I believe that's more because the bar has been lowered. If you think about it, real wages are the same now as they were in the late 70s. GDP per capita is higher now but because of greater inequality, the bottom 90% now get a smaller share of the pie than they did 35 years ago. Too many people think that just because we have the internet, digital TVs, 500 TV channels and mobile phones we're living better now than we used to. Sorry but I just don't see it.
And so it was in 1979-80, when there was a gas shortage (remember those long lines at the gas pumps as shown on the evening news back then?) and in general, there was a hostage crisis in Iran that Americans had worried about (444 days later, they were finally released per President Jimmy Carter's final day in office; Ronald Reagan was sworn in as President by that time); all in all, it wasn't a good time back then for most of us who were alive at that time; in 1981 and years afterward, the economy would be up and strong again, but, save for the scourge of homeless and the threat of AIDS, it would be a time for many Americans to enjoy prosperity until around 1988, which was known as Black Monday, when the bottom fell out for most who had invested in the stock market and Wall Street took a tumble; within the next decade (the 1990s), we'd be in a recession, at least in the early part of those years.
Fun to watch these old commercials again. Remember some of them. Once you´ve seen a commercial the first time, it quickly became annoyed watching a never ending repeat of same commercial, day after day. Funny to read in the comments section how many express how they wish they could go back and live in those times. I didn´t think it was particular special growing up in the late 60´s and through the 70´s. You take the time you live in for granted. It´s only when you get older and look back that those times of your childhood, that it seems more special than it was. At least that´s how I feel. Every generation will look back and say that their childhood was better than the present period they live in. That will never change. Thanks for posting.
These must be from videotape; a one-inch format perhaps. No fading as so much 16 mm film of the 1960s and 70s was prone to do. No tracking lines from 2-inch quad tape.
saintquinn007 We ate pretty great back then, not too much packaged food. Though I remember making those pudding in the mix cakes. But hardly any fast food. Getting KFC was a treat. And we didn't have to search out organic food and pay more for it.
I was 12 going on 13 in 77 and I remember quite a few of these commercials. Some of them bring back some really fond memories while others don't. Thanks so much for posting this flash of the past!
I was literally just going to make that comment, but you beat me to it! I wonder if the product is better, worse, or completely different almost 40 years later? My parents never bought Bologna, and as I recall, bought the store brand bacon (Stop and Shop) that was cheaper and wasn't bad at all..
***** They also had BBQ ribs for a short time in the 70s. I don't remember them, but every time I bring my mom to KFC she ask if they put the ribs back on the menu. And only 1 manager remembers them, the kids working always look at her like she's nuts. I think they took them off the menu because they were $$. Which is kind of ironic because if you need to get KFC for a crowd today it is expensive. And the fact that they use the smallest chickens known to man doesn't help. I always joke that you never see pigeons outside the KFC for a reason.
I had started my junior year of high school during the Fall of 1977. I remember these ads, and they make me think about being in my teens and watching all the TV shows I had watched, and the good times at home. I am glad I was a teen then. If only advertisers had known they were creating memories for future adults!!
I must say... someone had an excellent vcr back then... the transfer of these commercials are outstanding especially in the audio department... it sounds so clear... touche'...
BACK THEN I WAS 14-15, I WAS INTO CARS . EACH VEHICLE HAD ITS OWN UNIQUE LOOK AND STYLE. NOW OR SINCE THE 1980'S CARS ALL LOOK THE SAME. I ALWAYS APPRECIATE LOOKING AT OLD CLASSICS THAT WERE ONCE COMMON ON OUR ROADS BACK IN THE 70'S. THANKS FOR FLASHBACK TO MY CHILDHOOD.
This video really bolsters the idea of using music or little jingles to help remember things. It was easy to pull those musical tunes out of the archives of memory from 30-40 years back.
Some people might find them annoying, but it's a shame that fun, catchy jingles are so rare these days... Most commercials in the 2010's just have corny hipster music with whistling and soft acoustics playing in the background, like those BP Invigorate commercials.
Agreed. I used to eat KFC every 3 months or so, when I was a child. Never had any issues with it. Starting in the 1980s, I can't digest it anymore. Vomit city.
Daniel disorderly Since healthier options are often marketed as such, they’re usually pricier than their competitors, which is basically a curse for those on low incomes. Besides, advertisements today are so bent on pushing sugary, greasy crap on anyone willing to buy that it’s almost impossible to escape the ‘siren’s call’ of fast food companies. (Thankfully, being aware of this affords some of us the freedom to reject what’s quite literally being forced down our throats.)
I was 7 in 1977. I was also a latchkey kid, so I spent a lot of time watching TV. I remember most of these! The only one I don't recall is the Singer sewing machine commercial with Debbie Reynolds. Eight is Enough was a great show. The weirdest commercial was definitely the Tickle antiperspirant one. Thanks for sharing these. Great quality!
In France except for Dallas, we were alate with american series, but it was a joy for me because i was born in 1978 and i discovered US series of the seventies during the eighties : Eight is Enough, Streets of San Francisco, Starsky & Hutch, The Dukes of Hazard... At five I felt in love with Lindsay Wagner from Super Jaimie lol
Just watchin 10 mins of this, I felt like I was 11 yrs old again. Especially hearing that guys voice from those ABC commercials. Man, that was a long time ago.
Your right, no responsibilities when your a child. The world is new and your too innocent to see the bad. The seventies had its share of problems. Culture wars just like today. The TV shows were so much better though. No political correctness, people weren't offended of everything. I do feel like the country is in a worse place . We are way more polarized.
its weird cuz when i watch tv i fast forward the commercials but then i come to youtube and watch 30 minute long videos of commercials lol. but love these things thanks for posting em 👍
I remember being a kid and listening to the other kid singing the Oscar Mayer bologna song. To this day, I have to sing the song for me to spell the name Oscar Mayer Bologna.
I have to spell it out too just like the kid did. I also learned how to spell encyclopedia (Mickey Mouse Club) and Massachusetts from Captain Kangaroo. I have to sing the entire songs with them to spell them. You want kids to spell, put it in a song, spellcheck not needed. Don't get me started on School House Rock!
I FINALLY got Nescafé glass world mugs! I found them in a thrift store for $2 each. I had wanted them for well over 30 years. 👍 They are very heavy. Compare the heaviness of that glass and other glass, such as Pyrex, of that era, vs. the CHEAP, THIN glass of today's products. We were blessed to live in a time of better quality.
Isn't it ironic how we can sit thru almost 29 minutes of commercials that ran from the mid 70s to early 80s and actually enjoy them because they are so entertaining yet commercials made afterwards, we couldn't stand and current ones, even anger us. What a reflection on us all.
Thank you for sharing. Wow, the good old days when life was simpler. TV was so much better. I enjoyed hearing the voice of Ernie Anderson (Ghoulardi 😃) on those ABC show promos too!
Where has the time gone? If only we could go back. Such happy, happy memories of being in my grandma's house during the weekend and spending Friday and Saturday evenings watching TV with her. I remember these 3 channel days, rotary phones, and decent television.
I was eleven and twelve years old in 1977. My life consisted of Star Wars, Smokey and the Bandit, The Spy Who Loved Me, Marvel comics, Famous Monsters magazine, catching Godzilla movies on TV (and circling them in the TV Guide), Monogram model kits, The Fonz, Ramones, KISS.....yup 1977 was a great time to be that age (and I still love all those things). Great compilation.
Every Bill Cosby joke that could possibly be made HAS already been made by one of the million+ viewers.

Yup. There was a slower pace of life back then.
o so true
And no "LGBT community"!
@@TheMICMusicInspirationChannel I sense someone with issues...
Cause cellphones were not common :) or internet, hence you need a community of nosey ass people.
I can't believe how many of these that I still remember 40 years later.
No kidding
they ran into the 80's as well, many of these weren't just one-time airs.
You look like Reveen.
That's because they did their job that is why we can still remember these 40 plus years later..
The commercials actually told you what the product was and what it did.
Seems pretty intuitive. I never know what brand of car they're pushing on me now.
Our way of life has become sham wowed
They also made a lot of false hopes of the products.

I think about the times when my parents were alive , we owned our own home and staying outside playing until night. We ate dinner at the table as a family and watched the same movies and tv shows.😢
Same here😢
What I miss most about commercials is how quiet they were (as seen in many in this video). Today's TV and commercials are loud and obnoxious.

Thank you so much for posting these. I think what's in these commercials that is absent in today's commercials is dignity and maturity. Even the silly ones project more refinement than today's commercials. Thanks again.
How funny. As a kid in 1977 I would buzz out of the living room as soon as the commercial break started. As an adult in 2015 I'm sitting here watching those
commercials on UA-cam. :) Thanks for the video!
I was 12 years old in 1977.Thanks for these wonderful memories.
I loved to watch the Hardy boys and Nancy Drew mysterious......
Connie Pine , I loved the Hardy Boys& Nancy Drew also& forgot about them! Nice to have the reminder of the memories 😆 wishing you love&light 💚
Tammy C. Light Within
Thank you
I was 8 and I used to watch them...good times...
me too. I was 12. what great memories
I was only 7, but I had a HUGE crush on Shawn Cassidy.
I was born in 1980 but I love watching commercials before my time, they can definitely take you to a different place in time.
Boy o boy, what a nice trip back down memory lane...thank you for posting this!
How I wish I could go back to this time. A simple time.
Kathy me too
I don't know where you are from but this was not a simple time at all where I came from. Factories were shutting down that had existed for decades, most of my friends mothers and fathers were affected by this. Unemployment was high, construction was down, the only thing there was to do after high school graduation was to either keep working at the fast food dump, join the Army or waste more of your life by going to the junior college for lack of anything else to do. It was not a simple time my dear.
TheChuck624 If you were living in Texas during the 70s and 80s, yes it was a great time. If you were living in California during those times, not so great. I got to experience both places during those times.
TheChuck624
Yeah but I think they might have been referring to something like one feeling younger not to mention the people that were alive...etc...just sayin
I wish I could go back too. I grew up in Southern California in the 70s and 80s and it was wonderful!! The happiest years of my life!
I was 11 years old in 1977, and I remember all of these with such fondness..
😂👍👍👍 Same
Was 7 years old when these came out and I remember 95% of them, even sang along with the jingles.
Yeah you were.
The Lil Boy Fishin and singin has got to be one of the most classic tv ads ever. I'm 57 and still hear it in my head when I am shopping for lunch meat!!! Yay
I was so excited when the 1980s got here. I was 14 years old at the time. I never thought today, I'd be wishing the 1970s were still here? The '70s are gone forever, but you can believe I'll never forget them!
Agreed. The only thing that survived from the 70s is Star Wars.
How csn you remember the 70s if u were only 4
Thank you for posting, I love it. I was born in '69, this is my childhood all over again. Thumbs up! :)
Commercials nowadays suck because people have lost their sense of humor and get butt hurt over every little thing. This video made me realize how much i miss the 70's and 80's.
Well that's because certain things actually ARE offensive, but everything else is just meh.
same with the UK adverts also..
Commercials now just suck. Period.
Bang on....me too
Like the recent conflict over Hallmark having a gay couple in their commercials. Like get the fuck over it.
Three's Company was my second favorite show in the 1970s, right behind The Carol Burnett Show. I miss that era so much.
Nice to see that every man isn't an idiot, and every women isn't an eye-rolling shrew.
Today's commercials are DISGUSTING.
DaddyMarissa x
they're so bad these days, I do anything to avoid them. I used to like watching the commercials back then though and seeing these, many times I'm reminded how many celebs wre in these before they were famous
It's true. Today's commercials and tv programs are all toilet humor. Truly awful.
So so true....throw in 99.99% of network shows as well.
I have been hitting my mute button on every commercial for years now.
These commercials are more talented, more informative, more creative, more entertaining, and more ORIGINAL than most commercials of today..
Back then the food wasn't as fake, so they didn't mind giving you info on what's in it. Now they don't want to give you no info or tell you
she45namify true...
saintquinn007 I agree, I can remember back in the 70's when blacks and whites were ''equal'' in all tv commercials...neither one was too intelligent nor too stupid..
+saintquinn007 you stupid shit
Mehhhhhh, you're just old. If these formats were as effective as their contemporary counterparts they'd still be around. Advertising changes with the times and culture. Good or bad.
I really miss these times; I was just a kid in junior high but life back in the late 60s and 70s brought so much more joy than it does today. Miss the commercials, music and all the wonderful memories!
The closest thing to a time machine. Thank You !..lol
agreed
John Canter yep funny how all those memories just flood back the mind is one awesome tool!! Was 13 in 77 I just love these kind of videos!!
I was 5 and totally remember that kid singing that bologna song. This was the first time I'd seen it since back then!
Totally agree!
An old car magazine is pretty good, too.
God, 1977 was the best year. Everything was good.
I started singing along with OSCAR MAYER BOLONGA commercial the cute little boy fishing 🎣 I hadn’t heard that jingle in Decades and I sang it perfectly along 🤩 so proud of myself and my 70s and 80s vault
The thing I miss the most about this time in life is human contact. You actually had to actually smile and stick out your hand to meet someone.
And we actually made friends easily and hung out together just to talk
Back then during commercials, you maybe had enough time to go to the bathroom before the show was back on. Today you forget what you were watching before the show comes back on. Used to be they showed commercials to supplement the show, now the commercials are the show and whatever show you are watching is the filler.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Boy your not kidding.
Watch a lot of dr phil and ellen dr oz and his dairy queen commercials between 1 minute segments.
Not to mention all the electromagnetic radiation messing with our brains.
The real irony there is we are all here watching a video of nothing but commercials with no filler
Something is so comforting and cozy about old commercials..... maybe that’s why we keep rewatching them? 😉🌷
Wow. These commercials took up a lot of my brain capacity! I haven't thought about them for decades - but I know every word, jingle, most all the dialogue, edits, takes … Geesh! The acting! The sexism! The voiceovers! A fun watch. Thank you for posting this. Cheers!
I was a pre-schooler back in 1977, but in a weird way I feel like I "know" some of these commercials like deep memories. Thank you for posting!!! It's sad how commercials are now.
I was 3yo and I feel the same. These songs and sounds are imbedded somewhere in my brain and hearing these commercials is very nostalgic.
Me too! Except I was born the end of 77.
I love the cracking sound in the background of the clips.
Um, when I was eight years old I thought Nancy Drew was totally hot.
Now that I'm 47, I think that Nancy Drew was totally hot.
greg55666 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
lol.I only watched the hardy boys cause I thought they were hot.I was 13/14.
It was the 70s. All they did was have sex back then. She probably banged her boyfriend before and after filming every day. No such thing as AIDS back then and their older siblings, the hippies, destroyed all morals. At least I think that's how it worked back then. I might be wrong.
I remember everyone of these commercials growing up as a teenager..The 70s was the best ...
How I miss those halcyon days of being a kid in the 1970s! Hangin'' my transistor radio from the handlebars of my Huffy bike and ridin' around the subdivision listenin' to Andy Gibb "I Just Want To Be Your Everything" or Foreigner "Feels Like the First Time" to name a couple. Because that's what we did as kids in the 70s--WE WENT OUTSIDE. No damn video games or cell phones, drinkin' real Coca-Cola out of an 8oz glass bottle, riding around in the back of a pick up truck w/o the SWAT Team or Protective Services being called out, no school shootings, and NO DAMN CAMERAS WATCHIN' OUR EVERY MOVE! I'm sorry for being so dogmatic, but ya'll who grew up in the 1970s know exactly what I'm saying.
Im with you brother....I hate these horrible times....
All these posted sentiments reflect my thinking exactly, how nostalgic we all are for the better times of yesteryears. Things were more fundamentally sound, and living was consequently more enjoyable.
I hear you Ridgerunner. I was there too and miss those halcyon days in the 1970s as a kid and it made us Generation Xers into who we are today. We will set things straight as the new incoming establishment as the baby boomer-hell and decline they ushered into the world is on the way out with them.

All my life I never liked commercials I'm 44 but now I really like watching classics
I remember these from childhood. Thank you.
Good times. Happy memories.
Made me sad to see Ken Berry. We just lost him. He was in so many movies and tv shows - a real talent.
Who dat?
I thought that was him!!
Good Lord.
Tv has changed so much.
This is actually entertaining to watch old commercials.
Will people be saying that about todays commercials 40 yrs from now??
I surely doubt it !!!!!
no
Nah today's commercials are too loud and colorful
They'll say why were they pushing so many dangerous pills on people were people very sick back then????? And it makes me wonder
That Oscar Meyer kid absolutely melts my heart.
Thank you for sharing! I remember every single one of these commercials growing up.. I loved them.. They had substance. Those were the good ole days. I really miss them.
I remember "8 is Enough". Really liked that show. tried to watch it every week.
Nowadays that house would cost $2M and everyone in the family would have three jobs and no health insurance.
join the conversation - yes, same.
About 1985 I joked with a friend I'd like to have a big family like 8 Enough ... she got angry and called me 'evil' .
All of the ads seem to have musical elements to them. Lol. Love them.
Riachi you just want that #1 meat from Oscar Mayer
I rather be a teenager/young adult in the 70s than this generation
I was 17 going on 18 in '77 and would not trade places with kids today for the world.
i mean im black so my life wouldn’t be the best in the 70s,,,
@@nat-oi2fh It really wouldn't be that bad, especially living in a big city
Bobby Brady Seeing as how black people are very much discriminated against in america in 2019, i would hate to imagine how my family would be treated in the 70s. Would I get the education that I deserved? Would I be able to get a job that I deserved over someone of a different race? If you think racism hasn’t been a problem since the 60s you are ignorant and entitled. Every race can be racist, and you sound racist currently so please calm down. Bobby you can’t speak for what you have not gone through, thank you have a good morning evening or night.
Bobby Brady How about stop generalizing all black people? As well as stop this stereotype that all black people are aggressive lazy bums who do not try to better society. I never said most white americans are racist because that is obviously not true. I said that black people are discriminated against in America which is true. This goes for any other minority. Must be really sad to be so close minded to what goes on in your own country
My mother used to serve powdered milk to my sister and me. We cried. Seriously we did. It was awful. Damn you Vicki Lawrence, telling your lies straight from the pit of hell. 15:00
andan04 my mom made it too, mixed it with whole milk, was seriously discussing. my friends would come over and gag at a glass of milk. my mom gave them whole milk, cause they weren't used to it.
I feel your pain, brother. I once drank some powdered milk. Could of sworn it had the same consistency as milk...of MAGNESIA.
andan04 I cried too
andan04
And she can't even pronounce milk correctly. I remember that from when this first aired and I was a little kid. She pronounces it "miwk". Odd they would get a spokesperson who can't even pronounce the product.
Personally, I wish in many ways, things now were the same as they were in the 70s. I look at how our economy has gone since then and I think that instead of going forward, we have actually gone backwards. Not nearly as many moms worked outside the home as they do now, a university education was expensive but affordable for most middle-class families, the US still had a solid manufacturing base, there was much less personal debt than there is now and I honestly cannot think of any mass shooting in schools and post offices back then. Many people remember the 70s for the high inflation and interest rates and the long gas lines at the pump but what most of these people may not realize that despite these problems, there was actually higher economic growth in the 70s than there was in the 80s or 90s. When I see how many people live today, I oftentimes think that we no longer have a middle class. The middle class today has a much lower standard of living than the middle class did 30-40 years ago. Yes, according to official statistics, we are still a predominantly middle-class society but I believe that's more because the bar has been lowered. If you think about it, real wages are the same now as they were in the late 70s. GDP per capita is higher now but because of greater inequality, the bottom 90% now get a smaller share of the pie than they did 35 years ago. Too many people think that just because we have the internet, digital TVs, 500 TV channels and mobile phones we're living better now than we used to. Sorry but I just don't see it.
Amen
The economy was awful in 1977.
And so it was in 1979-80, when there was a gas shortage (remember those long lines at the gas pumps as shown on the evening news back then?) and in general, there was a hostage crisis in Iran that Americans had worried about (444 days later, they were finally released per President Jimmy Carter's final day in office; Ronald Reagan was sworn in as President by that time); all in all, it wasn't a good time back then for most of us who were alive at that time; in 1981 and years afterward, the economy would be up and strong again, but, save for the scourge of homeless and the threat of AIDS, it would be a time for many Americans to enjoy prosperity until around 1988, which was known as Black Monday, when the bottom fell out for most who had invested in the stock market and Wall Street took a tumble; within the next decade (the 1990s), we'd be in a recession, at least in the early part of those years.
Trickle down economics will work...
@@GhostofCicero lol still waiting for some to trickle my way.
I still have 2 of those Nescafe coffee glasses, btw.
Saaaame
Me too. My grandma had em.
My sister sent away for hers for labels off the coffee jar.
Those look awesome :-)
I loved those when I was little. Now I'm all grown up and know that Nestle is the worst.
Man am I getting old. Everything I saw there I remember first-hand.
YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL, same here!
Fast forward to 2018 and commercials are all about cell phones and pharmaceutical drugs...
Side effects, make u shit
Is there an E in shit!!! Just wondering
hear hear
Very true
After 40 years of being told to eat bologna will earn you some pharmaceutical drugs.
Fun to watch these old commercials again. Remember some of them. Once you´ve seen a commercial the first time, it quickly became annoyed watching a never ending repeat of same commercial, day after day. Funny to read in the comments section how many express how they wish they could go back and live in those times. I didn´t think it was particular special growing up in the late 60´s and through the 70´s. You take the time you live in for granted. It´s only when you get older and look back that those times of your childhood, that it seems more special than it was. At least that´s how I feel. Every generation will look back and say that their childhood was better than the present period they live in. That will never change. Thanks for posting.
Kind of surprised how great the quality for these commercials are, especially the audio
These must be from videotape; a one-inch format perhaps. No fading as so much 16 mm film of the 1960s and 70s was prone to do. No tracking lines from 2-inch quad tape.
i guess thats what Americas about
Better than the VCR commercials of the 1980s you see on UA-cam. I wonder how these were recorded.
tripdefect87 I loved and remember them ALL lol
Great video. Gosh, I love the 70's, they were the best, period. The toys, tv shows, and everything was just dam better!!!
saintquinn007 We ate pretty great back then, not too much packaged food. Though I remember making those pudding in the mix cakes. But hardly any fast food. Getting KFC was a treat. And we didn't have to search out organic food and pay more for it.
Adam's Co. I agree miss the 70s my childhood days
Yes!
Adam's Co. The music
I wouldn't say...
I was 12 going on 13 in 77 and I remember quite a few of these commercials. Some of them bring back some really fond memories while others don't. Thanks so much for posting this flash of the past!
anyone else notice that the Oscar myar bacon package hasn't changed at all
I was literally just going to make that comment, but you beat me to it! I wonder if the product is better, worse, or completely different almost 40 years later? My parents never bought Bologna, and as I recall, bought the store brand bacon (Stop and Shop) that was cheaper and wasn't bad at all..
libertarian objectivist the Kentucky fried chicken meal is exactly the same too!! even after almost 40 years- chicken, mashed & gravy and coleslaw!!
You forgot they replaced those boring bread rolls with delectable buttermilk biscuits.
Luis Reyes I never ate the bread that came with it so I didn't know that- BIG CHANGE!!!!😜 I stand corrected sir.
***** They also had BBQ ribs for a short time in the 70s. I don't remember them, but every time I bring my mom to KFC she ask if they put the ribs back on the menu. And only 1 manager remembers them, the kids working always look at her like she's nuts. I think they took them off the menu because they were $$. Which is kind of ironic because if you need to get KFC for a crowd today it is expensive. And the fact that they use the smallest chickens known to man doesn't help. I always joke that you never see pigeons outside the KFC for a reason.
$50.00 in 1977 had the same buying power as $211.79 in 2018
Annual inflation over this period was about 3.58%
Your point being...?
That Philco t.v. set was hella expensive!
I had started my junior year of high school during the Fall of 1977. I remember these ads, and they make me think about being in my teens and watching all the TV shows I had watched, and the good times at home. I am glad I was a teen then. If only advertisers had known they were creating memories for future adults!!
Me too !
I must say... someone had an excellent vcr back then... the transfer of these commercials are outstanding especially in the audio department... it sounds so clear... touche'...
Someone went to film school 😎🎥📼
I was seven years old and I remember almost all of these commercials. Thank you for sharing.
I was 7 years old in ‘77 and I miss the simplistic times of the 70’s and 80’s I wish I can go back
BACK THEN I WAS 14-15, I WAS INTO CARS . EACH VEHICLE HAD ITS OWN UNIQUE LOOK AND STYLE. NOW OR SINCE THE 1980'S CARS ALL LOOK THE SAME. I ALWAYS APPRECIATE LOOKING AT OLD CLASSICS THAT WERE ONCE COMMON ON OUR ROADS BACK IN THE 70'S. THANKS FOR FLASHBACK TO MY CHILDHOOD.
Steven Cohn that’s my complaint too, I used to be able to ID cars by year and name. Not any more.
It's so ironic how much I couldn't wait for these commercials to end, and now I can't stop watching them
I was 12 in 1977 and I loved Three's Company.
Back when everyone knew it was ok to mock homosexuals.
I loved that show!
Ahhhh, 1977. The year of Star Wars. Great memories, great quality commercials!
This is so relaxing and wholesome. I was born in 87 so I got to be a 90s baby which I'm proud of, but there is a lot of genuineness about these ads.
To this day I hum the golden graham song every time I eat that cereal - marketing genius 🙏🏼
Me too....lol
This video really bolsters the idea of using music or little jingles to help remember things. It was easy to pull those musical tunes out of the archives of memory from 30-40 years back.
Some people might find them annoying, but it's a shame that fun, catchy jingles are so rare these days... Most commercials in the 2010's just have corny hipster music with whistling and soft acoustics playing in the background, like those BP Invigorate commercials.
A better time, a better world.
Back when "Kentucky Fried Chicken" was indeed "finger likin' good". KFC today isn't.
Its not even real chicken today lol
Was thinking that same thing....All the food was better then even hot dogs...Yet we are getting fatter...It does not make sense!
It WAS better back then. So!stone in the mid to ate 70s, KFC introduced a barbecued the of fried chicken. Pretty good!
Agreed. I used to eat KFC every 3 months or so, when I was a child. Never had any issues with it. Starting in the 1980s, I can't digest it anymore. Vomit city.
Daniel disorderly Since healthier options are often marketed as such, they’re usually pricier than their competitors, which is basically a curse for those on low incomes. Besides, advertisements today are so bent on pushing sugary, greasy crap on anyone willing to buy that it’s almost impossible to escape the ‘siren’s call’ of fast food companies. (Thankfully, being aware of this affords some of us the freedom to reject what’s quite literally being forced down our throats.)
I was 7 in 1977. I was also a latchkey kid, so I spent a lot of time watching TV. I remember most of these! The only one I don't recall is the Singer sewing machine commercial with Debbie Reynolds. Eight is Enough was a great show. The weirdest commercial was definitely the Tickle antiperspirant one. Thanks for sharing these. Great quality!
In France except for Dallas, we were alate with american series, but it was a joy for me because i was born in 1978 and i discovered US series of the seventies during the eighties : Eight is Enough, Streets of San Francisco, Starsky & Hutch, The Dukes of Hazard... At five I felt in love with Lindsay Wagner from Super Jaimie lol
I was 17 in 77 and remember most of these too... To quote Cher, "if I could turn back time".
I was 5 and also a latchkey kid. Lots of tv
@@cindykoerner5962 watched sonny and cher!
Just watchin 10 mins of this, I felt like I was 11 yrs old again. Especially hearing that guys voice from those ABC commercials. Man, that was a long time ago.
I can't believe how crystal clear these commercials are!They look better now then when I watched them at 9 years old in 1977!
I was 5 years old in 1977 and I remember these ads better then I remember two days ago. The world seemed so much better.
Your right, no responsibilities when your a child. The world is new and your too innocent to see the bad. The seventies had its share of problems. Culture wars just like today. The TV shows were so much better though. No political correctness, people weren't offended of everything. I do feel like the country is in a worse place . We are way more polarized.
Like me you need a time machine!
I was also five in 1977, these commercials bring you right back to your childhood!
its weird cuz when i watch tv i fast forward the commercials but then i come to youtube and watch 30 minute long videos of commercials lol. but love these things thanks for posting em 👍
Kinney was erased from my mind until now. Thanks for sharing this great collection!
I remember being a kid and listening to the other kid singing the Oscar Mayer bologna song. To this day, I have to sing the song for me to spell the name Oscar Mayer Bologna.
Joseph Christina .. hahaha..cute
Me too
Man!!! I was surprised that I remembered all the words! LOL!!!! Great memories!
I have to spell it out too just like the kid did. I also learned how to spell encyclopedia (Mickey Mouse Club) and Massachusetts from Captain Kangaroo. I have to sing the entire songs with them to spell them. You want kids to spell, put it in a song, spellcheck not needed. Don't get me started on School House Rock!
I FINALLY got Nescafé glass world mugs! I found them in a thrift store for $2 each. I had wanted them for well over 30 years. 👍 They are very heavy. Compare the heaviness of that glass and other glass, such as Pyrex, of that era, vs. the CHEAP, THIN glass of today's products. We were blessed to live in a time of better quality.
They sell them on Amazon. www.amazon.com/Nestle-World-Mug-Cup-Cardboard/dp/B0084HDLHK
They just didn't have the technology to make thinner, lighter, more comfortable glass back then. I prefer today's glasses.
I loved this commercial in the 70’s-we used to go around the projects singing this song-especially when eating an Oscar Mayer bologna sandwich!!!
Isn't it ironic how we can sit thru almost 29 minutes of commercials that ran from the mid 70s to early 80s and actually enjoy them because they are so entertaining yet commercials made afterwards, we couldn't stand and current ones, even anger us. What a reflection on us all.
thanks for the upload, really enjoyed this, Sandy Duncan, LOL
Thank I was going to look that up it was Sandy Duncan!
These commercials bring back so many wonderful memories. I grew up in the 70's and life was soooooo different back then. "sigh"
Thank you for sharing. Wow, the good old days when life was simpler. TV was so much better. I enjoyed hearing the voice of Ernie Anderson (Ghoulardi 😃) on those ABC show promos too!
Like it was yesterday...those were some GREAT times!!
Where has the time gone? If only we could go back. Such happy, happy memories of being in my grandma's house during the weekend and spending Friday and Saturday evenings watching TV with her. I remember these 3 channel days, rotary phones, and decent television.
"Let's get Mikey", "my baloney has a first name", LMAO old but good memories
Those 2 were my favorite ones!
This just depresses me and makes me wanna go back in time to a slower pace of life.
I was eleven and twelve years old in 1977. My life consisted of Star Wars, Smokey and the Bandit, The Spy Who Loved Me, Marvel comics, Famous Monsters magazine, catching Godzilla movies on TV (and circling them in the TV Guide), Monogram model kits, The Fonz, Ramones, KISS.....yup 1977 was a great time to be that age (and I still love all those things). Great compilation.
"Sometimes you feel like a nut...Almond Joy has nuts, Mounds don't!" I so remember this ad! good times...
I don't even drink coffee, but I've always wanted one of those Nescafe globe mugs.
I agree!!
www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Nestle-Nescafe-Globe-Itched-Glass-Mugs-Set-Of-6-/272317537117?hash=item3f6763db5d%3Ag%3AOuwAAOSwqfNXk8H8&_trkparms=pageci%3D9f02f7d2-0df1-40bc-9916-61ecc3b3e7e4%2Cparentrq%3D1a22ade31560ab12f13efd28ffffee75%2Ciid%3D1%2Cobjectid%3D165219
Ive still got two of them!
I see them at thrift stores every once in a while. They're cute, but rather small; I think they hold about 6 oz. of coffee.
Sarah B 6 oz of coffee is miniscule. It makes me sad just to think about it.
The ABC announcer's voice is enough to take me back.
