Did anyone else find themselves, inexplicably, in tears, missing ÿour now- deceased, parents, grandparents, or siblings, watching this? Man! I really found myself missing all those people, as I remembered my childhood, re- living memories of a simpler, kinder time in my life.😢
Wow! Jingle writers really earned their keep in the 70’s and 80’s. Some of these jingles are more elaborate than songs you’ll find on today’s top 100 charts. Lol
Hey, it takes a lot of hard, hard work to make a record full of AutoTune effects, or to do a hip hop record full of sped-up vocals that sound like the friggin' Chipmunks on crack...
@@elc1960 Hmmm. You know what? I don't even listen to hip hop or pop, but I just took a look at the Billboard top 100 and the entire list is full of what I presume to be trash. So, maybe I just should've said the top 100 of that time? lol
I miss this world. I was a kid in the 70s and 80s and it just seemed like everyone back then had some common sense and decency which unfortunately is not the current insanity we're experiencing.
Three packages of sausages for $1 ….what I wouldn’t give for those prices. Sure, the pay was less but the difference between pay and cost of living was better.
I'm amazed how many of these commercials I can still remember, like they just came out yesterday. I have forgotten how patriotic and melodramatic they were.
Great to see John Ritter and pretty much everybody else I can recall. Nice to see Erin Moran in good spirits. How can so much time & change taken place? I miss this type of TV. They actually seem to care and incorporate values into their shows.
I want to go back and live it all over again. The 70’s and 80’s were the best years of my life. We had the best TV shows and Specials back then and lived in the last of the best decades in America..it was the party of a life time and we lived it well. We had the best TV then. Falcon Crest, Dallas, Knots Landing, Dynasty,The Waltons, Little House on the Prairie, The Six Million dollar man, The Dukes of Harzard, BJ and the Bear, Air Wolf, Battle Star Galactica! Knight Rider and for the first time ever the motion pictures of, Star Wars, Star Trek, Superman, Spider Man, Close Encounters of the third kind, E.T., Poltergeist, Jaws, Friday the 13th, Aliens, (No not the ones being aloud to just walk into our country right now in 2023), Predator and many more… We also celebrated the bicentennial in the 70’s when the entire country celebrated it from Apr 1, 1975 - Jul 4, 1976. It was like the 4th of July every day. It was fantastic!.…it was such a better time to be alive in this county. We never had the problems that are here today. It was unheard of for kids being shot and men walking around dressed as women. It was the last of America and we were lucky to have experienced it.
Oh yeah, the Bicentennial was such a big, year long party. I was 11. I remember how great it was celebrating the finest country on the planet. Good times!
I miss comercials like this and growing up during the 80s and 90s it was just nicer..than. today 😢.ok who doesn't want a way back machine right now to go to the old grocery stores in these ads to acess the food prices 😅
It's A Shame That Most Of These Products Are Not Around Anymore For Future Generations To Enjoy! These Commercials Were The Best Growing Up With! Nowadays All You See Are Commercials For Lawyers, Medicare, And Prescription Medications! Times Have Really Changed!
1:15:21 - That's a very young Jane Krakowski in the Nestle Toll House cookie mix commercial. And immediately after that, you have something I truly miss from my youth: the Santa-on-a-Norelco electric razor ad they used to show every year at Christmastime. Later on, you have a couple of Sugar Smacks commercials featuring Len Dresslar Jr. (the voice of the Jolly Green Giant) as the voice of Dig 'Em. The Tab commercial has two future celebrities in it: Joe Regalbuto from Murphy Brown is the guy caught staring at the hot babe in the bikini, and Matt Dillon is the sweaty football player.
Omg'sh I was born in 1977 and grew up in Long Beach California in the 80's and I remember all of Cal Worthingtons commercials selling cars. He always had like Elephants and would stand on his head to sell you a car. Talk about a trip down memory lane. I miss my childhood n stuff
Interesting bit of trivia. The older woman in the Maxwell House coffee commercials is in fact, the same actress that played the Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz.
Love this collection of commercials, brings back a lot of memories of days gone by. One thing I did notice was the American pride in many of the commercials. Most of the brands mentioned America in its advertising one way or another. Also, I think this compilation of video's were uploaded in alphabetical order? Great nostalgia.
In that "When You Say Bud" spot, that's the immortal singer-songwriter Valerie Simpson (of Ashford & Simpson) on lead vocal. It is, however, not her in the commercial; they had an actress lip sync her part. If they'd asked her she'd probably have done it herself...
If you've never used the closed captioning option on these videos, you should try it with this video. Some of the captions here are sheer comedy gold. Don't take my word for it, try it yourself. Some of them will make you laugh out loud, most of the others will make you chuckle, and the rest will make you go "WTF???"
@@bessiehillum6498 The captions don't make grammatical sense, and in some cases are completely ridiculous. My guess is that they were somehow automatically generated, but they don't match up exactly with the actual spoken words.
what stands out to me, upbeat, happiness, no social messages unless it was a PSA, they still used singing jingles to make them fun. They were unspoiled by gadgets they carried that enslaved them. Back then, kids played outdoors with other kids still. PC's and cell phones has made kids crave staying indoors and alone and under foot, where they have become prey to all the wickedness man has put at their fingertips, they fulfill all their lusts through them. it's been a steady progression down hill for society.
Love's BBQ Pit. in Rosemead... was my favorite restaurant to go to... and the Light Brite commercial threw me back to my kid days. Which some days I could go back and do it again knows what I know now. Love the Pepsi generation commercial ls too!
any woodwind or brass instrument player will tell you, the last thing they would do is eat a chocolate bar just before playing their instrument. icky yucky poo poo nasty spit all down inside the instrument simply not done..
Ok I need to admit I find these commercials as thrilling as I did my wacky packages. Sometimes I feel I’m a victim of a massive psychological experiment aimed at ingraining an urge of consumerism. I am sick
@@tycanuck I'm not on any meds. Only vitamin My mom died at 95 took no meds her entire life Depends on your genes and life style.. Only one operation for her eye. No walker wheelchair looked much younger. A lot of Drs I think put ppl on meds they don't even need.
How did we ever allow for the fall of shared standards and logic? What a mess we have become.
Did anyone else find themselves, inexplicably, in tears, missing ÿour now- deceased, parents, grandparents, or siblings, watching this? Man! I really found myself missing all those people, as I remembered my childhood, re- living memories of a simpler, kinder time in my life.😢
My family were and are rubes, I just miss the simplicity of the era.
Love this. Nice to temporarily escape from the madness this world has become. Give me a Time Machine to go back to my childhood.
Me too
I'm all packed and ready to go!
Back when networks actually cared about whether you watched them or not.
Agreed 👍
Yeah, forgot about that actually.
Wow!

True enough!
Wonder who's the "creative minds" behind the infamous Cal Worthington used car ads? 🤪
I miss this world. I was a kid in the 70s and 80s and it just seemed like everyone back then had some common sense and decency which unfortunately is not the current insanity we're experiencing.
I always thought it would be like this forever
Yep
Me too, I wish it were still this way.
In many ways, I wish it had been. My childhood was half analogue, half technology. Those were really good days.
We all did darlin’ , we all did! As kids this life was eternal in our minds and hearts!
Three packages of sausages for $1 ….what I wouldn’t give for those prices. Sure, the pay was less but the difference between pay and cost of living was better.
And the food tastes better too
I need to watch thus video every day, total 70s/80s immersion is the answer to life in this decade!
I'm amazed how many of these commercials I can still remember, like they just came out yesterday. I have forgotten how patriotic and melodramatic they were.
The 7up commercial was trippy 😵💫
I remember that 7 Up ad with the trippy visuals. I think I was 13 or 14 at the time.
That ABC commercial must have been during a halftime show, very long & elaborate
The CBS one good too..all the old stars
Great to see John Ritter and pretty much everybody else I can recall. Nice to see Erin Moran in good spirits.
How can so much time & change taken place?
I miss this type of TV. They actually seem to care and incorporate values into their shows.
I remember so many of these!!!
I was a teen in the 70s
So was I growing up in brooklyn ny,I remember as if it was yesterday ,when a commercial wasn't an infomercial ! Ugh peace friend
I remember them I was 12 .
Simply outstanding memories I’m 62 years old and I remember all of those commercials thanks for the memories!!!!
This is the greatest hits version of vintage commercials.
A world that was not perfect then, but lets you know how insane it is now

I can't remember the last time I actually saw a BankAmericard commercial...they'd been Visa for so long it's easy to forget.
Great memories watchin all these commercials from when I was growin up. THANKS.
the abc ad was a blast, never got ads like that in the UK,
Guess the Brits aren't as pushy about their TV networks as we were. 📺
It's A Shame That Most Of These Products Are Not Around Anymore For Future Generations To Enjoy! These Commercials Were The Best Growing Up With! Nowadays All You See Are Commercials For Lawyers, Medicare, And Prescription Medications! Times Have Really Changed!
I agree wholeheartedly.
Yeah because only old people watch tv nowadays lol
Commercials and billboards.............Lawyers and prescription drugs, oh AND specialty med care centers.
2:11 I grew up in New York City and every time I see the twin towers it never ceases to choke me up
@@bessiehillum6498 it was gritty and real.
I didn't grow up in NYC, and I get choked up.

The I Like To Teach The World To Sing,is a classic.
Lots of Southern California local ads. Love it!
I'd rather eat at Der Wienerschnitzel than Del Taco. 🌭
I remember back in the 70s when getting a Big Boy hamburger was an absolute luxury. The special sauce they had was so good.
Thanks for sharing! Good times. 🥰👍
Those fish sticks were much bigger than the ones they sell today!

This really is a gold mine of memories. Great Work!
Just wanna say thank you for these!! Almost felt like i was back in the 80s, so nice...
There were better times back then.
I wish I could travel back in time. This is close though.
🎶🎶🎶🎶I`m singing to all the jingles 🤣😁🎶🎶
Interesting bit of trivia. The older woman in the Maxwell House coffee commercials is in fact, the same actress that played the Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz.
Margaret Hamilton.
Wonder if she's using her winged monkeys as stock boys?
The ABC commercial made me sad- so many of them gone…

The actress is Patricia Henderson, who was also a singer.
@@brentmann2988 Thanks man!
Still love Sunkist orange soda!👍
I had to get one out of the depths of the fridge cuz that ad gave me a real craving for one just then, lol! I cannot lie, it really hit the spot, too.
I can't state how much I miss Bob's Big Boy
There's still a Bob's Big Boy in Downey!
@@mf-qi8gnand in Burbank!
I love that they got a whole choir together for a beer commercial hahaha
It was no racism casue everyone got together no black or white it was just give the public what they wanted and it was project
And for Continental Airlines!
Back then the Networks had to strive for greatness, there was only the 3.
Some excellent commercial jingles on this one:
8:55 - Fig Newtons
11:22 - Budweiser
15:40 - C & H Sugar
17:10 - Campbell’s Soup
50:17 - Hamm’s
1:01:25 - Lite-Brite
1:07:54 - Almond Joy / Mounds
the Budweiser one is gold
The Fig Newtons one cracks me up, but the Lite-Brite & Campbell's Soup ones bring fond memories of my childhood. 😊
Holy sh*t, the Budweiser commercial was almost sinister. 😱
The actor on the fig Newton commercial is the same actor who was the duke of doubt in the old school burger king commercial named James harder
Omg I knew every word to the reach out and touch someone phone commercial still lol
Good selection of commercials.... too bad the volume level is so inconsistent. Some shout and others whisper.
YES!! More 1980’s Los Angeles commercials & newscasts 🫡👏🏻🫡
1:01 This one was by Robert Abel & Co! He also did the early-80’s 7Up commercial featuring a red Pacman.
Great jingle singers:
29:58 Jake Holmes // 14:41 & 50:46 & 1:39:00 Florence Warner
54:41 Luther Vandross // 55:11 The Ron Hicklin Singers
11:22 & 1:07:54 Valerie Simpson // 34:29 Joanie Sommers
55:13
Haven't seen a cereal commercial in ages. Same with toys, Burger King, a beer commercials. And that Coca Cola commercial was everything.What happened?
WOW, that great KCOP 13 ident right up front 👍 Always loved it 😘
11:30 That Budweiser ad is epic! Too bad their grace has fallen these days...
I can see an updated version of that ad that would slap as hard as the original.
I am 😢.. those days gone
I'm sharing this video with my parents they will love this
I'm sure they'll enjoy the sleazy Diet Pepsi ad. 😏
I wish I could, they've been gone for years, though.😢
Back when television was still refreshingly wholesome.
What happened?
22:11 - Cheerios (Unsinkable) - The dad is Kevin Scanlon.
25:00 possibly the greatest jingle in commercial history.
It was a real song sung by The Seekers. It's called I'd like to teach the world to sing.
Commercials before soda pop was made with high fructose corn syrup. Still not good for you, but better than HFC crap!

Wienerschnitzel commercial was the first ever dis track 😂
Go See Cal !! Catchy ass song 😂👍
Ha that Budweiser commercial! How bizarre! Looked like they’d had something a bit stronger than Bud 😂
Love all these ads
2:11 holy crap. The Twin Towers.
1:51:47 "Have I got something for your achiness!" 😀😀😀 Best innuendo of the Seventies?
17:10 - “How do you handle a hungry man? The Manhandlers”
The actress in the Camay commercial is Deborah Shelton. She played Mandy Winger on Dallas.
Loved them all except for the one with Scott Baio.
Same. That cursed Baio once gave me pinkeye. 👁😪
👍💚👍
The jingles were much better then. A lot of catchy harmony.
Much Gratitude

9:30 Frank Reynolds cameo
10:23 Bob's Big Boy's creepy koala hands
I feel sorry for these young kid's and teenager's, with the way thing's are going now they don't even have a fair chance.
Can't be a kid in America.
I never realized how regional commercials were in the 70’s.
any woodwind or brass instrument player will tell you, the last thing they would do is eat a chocolate bar just before playing their instrument. icky yucky poo poo nasty spit all down inside the instrument simply not done..
Flute player here. I hear you. Lol.
I used to love the xmas coke commercial.
It was fantastic
Wow, I never knew Braniff (like in the 'South Park' credits) was an actual airline.
(29/Dec/2022-4:25am🇦🇺EST)
The internet ruined everything
I don't remember a lot of these commercials. Perhaps because I was a kid. Kids are good at blocking things out.
True. Especially when your childhood wasn't so great.
i remember almost all of the ads....growing up in L.A. in the 70s and 80s
Back when they actually had Whites in commercials......
7up was an acid trip in itself
Best video I’ve seen in years. I miss my family!😢
Ok I need to admit I find these commercials as thrilling as I did my wacky packages. Sometimes I feel I’m a victim of a massive psychological experiment aimed at ingraining an urge of consumerism. I am sick
Man this country has fallen off a cliff!
Did anyone else hear 'pussy cow' at 46:50 ?
Yes😂😂😂
I remember McDonald's . Hamburger , fries and a drink for less than $1
Less Technology ... More Humanity and Happiness ...
The AA pilot at 6:28 looks like Bill Clinton. 😮
Commercials were shorter too.
Now everything long and medicines
You boomers love medicine.
@@tycanuck I'm not on any meds. Only vitamin
My mom died at 95 took no meds her entire life
Depends on your genes and life style.. Only one operation for her eye. No walker wheelchair looked much younger. A lot of Drs I think put ppl on meds they don't even need.
We’re a very sick country…physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Sadly, I don’t see it getting better either.
@@JerseyGrove1995you're one hundred percent correct.
$5895 for a new truck, That wouldn't even be a down payment on one these days
And THAT was one of the very highest prices on that ad. Wish I could get me one of those old school Monte Carlos today for $1995! Holy cow!!
41:29 John Moschitta, the voice of Blurr from The Transformers
That Fig Newton shit was hilarious …sounded like Artie Lange
He was James Harder.
6:28 That pilot looks like Roger from Cracked. (If fill in the blank were honest) That man is immortal!
1:20:14 Pepsi commercial made me feel like saluting
I forgot all about the Adee (do!) Plumbing commercials. Funny...
The big fig newton
