That's former middleweight boxer Rocky Graziano in the ad for NP27. Paul Newman played Rocky in the movie Somebody Up There Likes Me. Paul Frees and Mel Blanc are the voices of the mosquitoes in that Raid commercial. The ice cream man in the Fab commercial is Charles Welch, who later replaced Parker Fennelly as the spokesman for Pepperidge Farm products. ("'Cause Pepperidge Fahm remembahs!") If I''m not mistaken, that's a young (20-21 years old) Bernadette Peters in the ad for the Playtex Cross Your Heart bra.
@@jamesodell7678 Yes and no. She started racing in '63, but didn't race full-time until '72. Then really started to attract attention in the mid-70s. She just turned 85 a week before I typed this.
Watching that Texaco commercial, I remember my Dad bought his gas religiously from a Marathon station on a corner a block south of us which featured 3 other gas stations, a Shell, Standard Oil, and Texaco. All full service. All were pretty clean, and the guys all wore company uniforms. For some reason he despised Texaco and never bought their gas no matter how low it was.
@@ApartmentKing66 When I was a kid I just figured it was a Dad thing. Sadly my folks as well as my older siblings have long passed on so a mystery it shall remain.😄
Raid , animated commercials stood out back in the day Certz , 2 mints in one with the click , was a classic commercial component kept for years Charmin , Squeeze ☺️
Nice restorations! It's nice to see that adverts back then were only marginally less annoying. And now, I'm going to buy a case of soap, foot powder, and shampoo - or go on a game show where that's a consolation prize. 🤪😅
My grandfather would often have a bit of fun with TV commercials. I remember him yelling at my grandmother "Myrtle, don't you be buying one of those "living bras! I wouldn't know what to feed it." And speaking of my grandfather and commercials - I wonder if someone could help me concerning another commercial, he would respond to. I clearly remember a mouthwash commercial where one young woman is all upset complaining to an older woman about the fact that her boyfriend said her breath was "bad enough it could kill a moose. What should she do?" I remember grandpa would yell out "Go moose hunting!" I have since looked on the net and cannot find any reference to such commercial. I am beginning to think I might be imagining the whole thing - lol. Anyone else remember the commercial?
Fabulous. That was the late 60s. Abso-freakin' fabulous. Napalm, B-52's, Da Nang, Black Panthers, Altamont, Stonewall and all. And yes, Aero-Wax (and 'Future') really DID have plastic in them.
8:38 - WOW, if my man said that to me they would not be able to identify him with dental records. 😄😄😄 Great job. I wish we had commercials like that today. All I see are legal calls and medical issues. Keep up all your hard work.
I remember riding a crowded bus one day, probably in the mid-1980s? On a hot day in Denver. We got stuck in traffic and everyone was getting a little testy until someone in the back piped up: "Don't you wish everyone used Dial?"
True. Regarding the real 1969 Texaco commercial though, those girls looked like they were being groomed for new cast members of Petticoat Junction before CBS carried out the rural purge.
Back before every few commercials were medical and prescription drugs. Or something weird. I put my remote on mute when the commercials come on. Back then there was no need to.
For years I've been looking for a "Discover Orange Crush" Tv ad from 1970. The song was "Break away, discover life today, discover lively taste, discover orange crush". I thought it was so cool when I was ten years old, but I can't find it anywhere
I bet that incredible edible egg was a leftover from their sx education class. Why kids had to haul raw eggs around for a week, which thankfully didn't stink by Friday, assuming none were cracked, as some bizarre analogy to how to handle the result of how humans reproduce... it was very clucked up back then...

It was a treat watching most of those commercials without that horrible red shift the old color negative film developed with age. I remember some things in that time were tasteless, but the colors weren't quite so garish. Thanks!
A scientist on Mars, watching American TV commercials from this era, would be firmly convinced that the greatest medical problems facing humans were dandruff, body odor and bad breath
These days it would be things like “restless leg syndrome,” which would be considered an ailment so fearsome that people would risk random bleeding, paralysis, and death to defeat it. However, the cure would have the side benefits of kayaking, biking, washing antique cars, and dancing with attractive, smiling people.
How could that woman at 0:33 have dandruff? Her hair looks exactly the same throughout the commercial and with a helmet hairstyle like that, no dead skin from her head would have a chance to escape.
@@brianarbenz1329 Yes, and I made (what I think is) a joke about it. I hardly think America was "obsessed" with dandruff in 1969 any more than people are obsessed with their appearance today.
This is my birth year . I see that ad style didn’t much change till about 1977 . I always wondered what I , the baby of the family , missed n 1969 . I can only clearly remember 1972 .Don’t ask me what I had for lunch but I remember watching Nixon leave the White House defeated
@@janefrommel That’s because most of the targeted audience of that era (the baby boomers) no longer have enough hair to worry about dandruff. And the female boomers are more interested in hair coloring than dandruff! 🤔😂
Nowadays all we get are Mike Lindell and his damned pillows, these asinine drug commercials with equally asinine names, and the p. c. crap that always makes the woman look like a genius and the man out to be buffoon. Solutions to the above: 1) When you need a new pillow just go to a department store. 2) When you have a health or medical problem just call your doctor. 3) Let's balance the "brain power" among the men and the women. One more thing: It would've been an immeasurable improvement to have seen more miniskirts in this collection. IMSHO, women looked the greatest from the late '60s to the early '70s.
Love this channel, but these videos did NOT go through any "digital restoration". Your claim makes the digital restoration profession look bad. Please stop that claim. You may have "digitized" them, but you did not "restore" them whatsoever.
@@gamerlikesretro8516 Again, I love that you are sharing these commercials. I've been creating commercials like these since 1977, so these are close to my heart! It's just that part of my career was also restoring old film and videos to their original (or better) condition. Restore means to put back the way it was originally. We used highly capable methods to digitally paint out film scratches and hairs, apply crafted video noise reduction algorithms without softening the image, and contour the white, black and gamma curves back to what the original film was like before time took its toll. We use dynamic tools to compare previous video frames with next frames to average the current frame correctly, as well as surrounding pixels of the current frame for smart color blending. Then the audio goes through a multi-layered sweetening session to get back to near original sound. So, your claim of "restoration" is incorrect. It may have been "helped", but it hasn't been resorted to the original look or sound. So, keep up the good work of sharing these memory treats, but please take down the claim of restoration. Thanks. I wish you well.
I refuse to believe the first commercial a Hick flying a passenger plane. Nowadays they are usually on their knees praying to their new God Donald Trump.
Does everything you liberal progs say have to be political, especially about Trump? Can you lay off for a bit, please? In case you don’t know, he is no longer the President...
@@Mark-yy2py I loathed the man since 1978. He wasn't President then. He's not President now, and I still loathe him as a bigoted, avaricious, low, grasping criminal. I'm consistent that way. I don't need politics to tell me who to hate. I'm relieved that he was never MY Commander-in-Chief.
I dunno uploader, the idea of "best commercials" is somewhere around the vicinity of "best canker sores" or "most appealing pus discharge". Let's not treat them as if they're some sort of "positive".
Bernadette Peters in Playtex Bra Commercial? Scary how many of these I remember. Nice job on the restoration.
8:06 (it's helpful to include the time stamp so others can click and go directly to that part of the video)
Yes, Bernadette WAS very scary!

There are more than a few who could use the Play Tex Long line bra these days.
I find it interesting how a 1980 (ish) Oldsmobile Omega made it into the 1969 commercial group. Apparently those cars could time travel....
I was thinking the same thing
And I was thinking Janet Guthrie was later than the 60s. The Omega grill confirmed it. Honest mistake.

Yes. That’s why they were called “X cars.” Like X Files.

Is there really a soul on earth who is genuinely worried about dandruff? Thanks, Don and Peggy...
Well… perhaps not worried about it. But dandruff can be unsightly, and uncomfortably itchy.
I was about 8 years old ..
So I remember , RAID didn’t have a pleasant odor…
I don't think you see too many people nowadays spraying insecticide in the air inside their home. Lol
Fun fact, long-line bras 8:38 are still being made. And they do work to flatten, and give you better curves.
I have three myself. There are great times and places for them.

Amazing how they had all those mid-70s cars in 1969!! 11:20
I remember riding a crowded bus one day, probably in the mid-1980s? On a hot day in Denver. We got stuck in traffic and everyone was getting a little testy until someone in the back piped up: "Don't you wish everyone used Dial?"
The Oldsmobile was probably trying to take the Fixodent back in time...
I remember ALL these commercials. I was 11 and 12. 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow. I just time-traveled
1969... You have a 1981 Oldsmobile Omega in a Texaco commercial.
Good catch.
Janet Guthrie didn't become famous till after she competed in the 1977 Indy 500. Texaco sponsored her in 1978
True. Regarding the real 1969 Texaco commercial though, those girls looked like they were being groomed for new cast members of Petticoat Junction before CBS carried out the rural purge.

The Texaco commercial with Janet Guthrie was done in 1977 not 1969.
I'm 57....and it's funny that I can vaguely recall a few of these...when I was TWO!
11:07 Janet is driving a 1980 Oldsmobile Omega! I thought these commercials were from 1969.
