  • Today, I reacted to old commercials spanning from the 1940s to the 1980s that are deemed 'politically incorrect' in 2023. Brands like Band-Aid, Kool-Aid, and Folgers Coffee all made videos decades ago that they would likely get them canceled today. If you like this video you'll probably enjoy this one: • Fireworks Gone Wrong!
    And this one: • America.

    The Kool-Aid ad needs a little context. Just in case you forgot, that ad aired to a generation of parents who had fought a bloody war against the Japanese (and so many had lost brothers and fathers/uncles). Given the time, showing a happy Japanese family enjoying Kool-Aid was actually an incredibly bold, anti-racist statement. Imagine a business showing an al-Qaeda family enjoying their product today.

      i mean it's gotten so bad that people accidentally brush someone on a trolley and they feel like they have been molested.
      there is a big difference between molestation and touching, I doubt any of those girls or guys in the Levis add felt molested, getting patted on the ass was quite common back then, now guys look at you weird and girls turn around and deck you. when they both should just appreciate the attention!

    I own a marketing agency, and a small part of what Brett’s talking about, with regard to “when was the last time an ad was about how well the product works?” is that there are fewer game-changing innovations in products today. There are so many new, kind-boggling things, but cell phone products for example have such minute differences between generations that it comes down to aesthetic, lifestyle, fear of looking dumb/or missing out, or supporting a company that supports your values. That’s why I like Jeremy’s Razors: razors either suck or they don’t. You can’t really market on whether they work. *This argument paints in broad strokes.

    • @WitchKing-Of-Angmar
      @WitchKing-Of-Angmar 11 місяців тому +4

      I have greatly made this point, since the 1990s, we have only focused on safety obsession and touch screen technology. Every object now has a touchscreen on it, a vacuum (if it's a company that offers), a sink, a refrigerator, a car, an oven, a clock, a phone.
      The 1950s and 1960s offered the prosperity of an all out change, whereas instead of adding some modern twist with a light up touchscreen panel, the entire design of the object or even its composition would 1, be entirely different, and 2, probably materialize if you called upon it. In the 1950s the frosted glass was created for extremely modern homes, you would turn a dial and the clear glass would immediately frost over and be entirely matte. I think Boss's offices in Manhattan had this. That is true technological advancement.
      People are confusing the somewhat amazement of a computer, a digital source for "information" whether that be incorrect or correct information, as being a new invention every time a phone comes out. It's the SAME exact thing with slight differences in each model. We haven't done anything but that, in fact even buildings today are inspired by that touchscreen appearance.
      Where is the toilet seat that fits comfortably, the sink that keeps the water inside the sink only, the vacuum that sucks everything spotless including stains, the dishwasher that washes dishes in 39 seconds like the 1939 worlds fair dishwasher which ran for a 30 minutes because simply put, safety is more important than speed but that is still very fast. The hover cars, the unbreakable glass, guns that only hit the person its directly signaling and goes around the other person. Now some of this is whimsical, but what we've made in 80 years since the 1940s-50s etc, is laughable at best. Now we're trying to make robots a thing?? Why on earth would you want a complete and total lack of privacy at a level that changes everything.

Ads like the Geico, or the State Farm or even the Mayhem guy commercial. And the ads for Crest Toothpaste, or a whole lot other ads that told you why you needed their product over the other guys product. But now, got ads focused more an having the most overweight person singing about the product, or making sure only certain races are shown, and very little about the product itself. Believe that its really laziness on the part of the advertising company to default to "fewer game-changing innovations in products today". There's got to be something that should make me purchase your product that costs more than the generic brand, so tell me what it is, and it shouldn't be because you saved a bunch of whales in Antarctica. Even the ads for medications are a bore. Companies are ending up spending millions on merely trying to get an ad out, that its knocked out a whole bunch of businesses that actually have a product I care about. Go google
      www.pinterest.com/acw45/ads-and-stuff-you-don-t-see-anymore/
      Those ads would stick in your head, and you'd actually look for the product when shopping because they'd tell you why theirs was better than others. Now its just information-less ads that say nothing.

    The doll commercial reminded me abt my old Wendy doll from toy story. It had a speaker in it and every time you pulled the string on the back, she would start talking to you. Well, eventually she started to break and would randomly start talking and so my parents threw her in our toy closet (which was in our guest room) buried under a bunch of stuff because me and my siblings wouldn't let them throw it away. We all kinda forgot abt the doll because we couldn't hear her anymore under the junk she was buried in. A few years later we were reorganizing the closet and found the doll. Me, being the hoarder I was at the time (I was abt 10) saved the doll and placed her at the top of a basket after trying to pull the string and make her talk. She didn't talk so I figured it ran out of batteries after all those years and it was fine to keep her. Biggest mistake of my childhood. That very night, my parents let me sleep in the guest room because I did a good job cleaning the closet (being able to sleep in the guest room was a reward at the time because the bed was rly big compared to ours and I shared a room with my sister). I was all alone and being the little insomniac I was, also wide awake. Out of nowhere I hear a tiny voice come out of our toy closet saying, "Howdy kids! Say hello!" and when the Wendy doll heard no response she continued with, "Come on, say hello! I just wanna play~~" "Aww say howdy kid! I just wanna play~~" "I just wanna play~~ I just wanna play~~" The voice lasted for what felt like HOURS. Scariest moment of my childhood. I threw away that doll immediately the next morning. I've hated all talking dolls since.

      My daughter had a zuzu pet when she was 8 and we recently found it at the bottom of a pile of her old toys in a container (she is now almost 20) and it still talks! We were creeped out to say the least!

    You may enjoy an old book called, “The Hidden Persuaders.” For instance, the better tasting coffee that the office girls have might be something other than coffee. I’d love to see you do a series on subliminal advertising. It was great in the 60’s but truly blossomed in the 70’s. Check out the add for Terryton cigarettes where the man and woman are playing in the surf. Hmmm….is that surf?

    The irony in watching this on You Tube how many commercials interrupt the video. Streaming sites without Ads has become my favorite source for entertainment because I sincerely HATE commercials.

    The bandaid egg trick was like one of those Jr Science Kit experiments used for advertising. It appeals to the childhood fascination deep inside our brains.
    That’s a way that good advertising works

      How do we know that the water was boiling and not just rigged to push air into it to LOOK LIKE it's boiling.
      It's rather like the fast food chain that has studio shots of their burgers, colour enhanced as they are.
      And when you get the product it looks nothing like the photo, nowhere near as appetizing

    this was so entertaining and lighthearted. it’s so nice to be able to watch ads that aren’t all political and trying to push an agenda.

    Brett can I just say, you are by far the most creative youtuber I’ve seen with putting sponsorships into your videos. You always just effortlessly slide it into the video and it catches me off guard every time 😂

      The problem with this is: you don't know where the segue starts, which kinda ruins last couple minutes of the video before the ad for me. I can't be sure what she says as a part of the video itself and what she says only to make a transition to the sponsorship 🙁
