I had looked for years for that Ad Council energy PSA as I was around 10 or so when it first aired and thought how cool it was for that kid to be up in the Statue Of Liberty's torch. Happy that I stumbled across it here.
I loved monster squad as a kid! I can remember, going to see Herbie goes to Montcarlo and the whole audience laughing alot. It was a great time! Saturday mornings, breakfast cereal, cartoons and daydreams... How I love remembering!!
The 70s commercials hit my nostalgia button hard. Thank you so much.
That PSA energy commercial, remember that well. Was 14. 70's were the best!!!!
As a '70s kid, I can remember most of these. I don't recall "Monster Squad" (never seen it), that Girl's Club of America PSA and that Mr. Wizard Close-up ( *maybe* I do recall). But what I do remember: "The Gong Show", The way the NBC logo was at the time, "Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo" (I actually saw that in the theater!), Micronauts (there were [and are] even Micronauts comic books), Frosted Rice with Tony Jr., That save energy PSA, That Count Chocula and Franken Berry commercial, That Life Savers jingle that sounded like "Bo Diddley", That Snickers commercial, That commercial at 4:52 with a horse named Fred (I didn't noticed that name when I saw the commercial. But *this time* it reminds me of that Sesame Street segment where Grover was an old western hero and his wonder horse was *Fred* !), Speed Buggy, when Frosted Flakes was called *Sugar* Frosted Flakes (as well as many other cereals with the word *Sugar* on the name), That Funny Face commercial at 6:27 (that Professor didn't say "Son of a ..." uhmm never mind), That Nestle Quick commercial, and *maybe* that McDonnald's commercial.
That's all for a lot of *that* !
In the late '60s.
I commented on this in a previous volume, but I just can't get over NBC without the iconic peacock! Mercifully, they resurrected it a couple years later (and modified it in the 1980's into the version we know and love today).
"This features characters from the largely forgotten cartoon "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids", which is essentially every Hanna-Barbera cartoon put into a blender: " -- These descriptions always crack me up. And about that statement: How about Speed Buggy? It was basically Scooby Doo, with a talking car instead of a talking dog. Then there was Funky Phantom (with a ghost instead of a dog). Ah, good times...
I remember speed buggy when I was a kid... The shows back in 70s and 80s were awesome!
9:59--Wow; I remember watching "Speed Buggy" on Saturday mornings, but I'm pretty sure it was several years later than this. I think one of the networks reran it for a season or two in the early 1980's.
I love Monster Squad! I have the entire series on DVD. :) When the Love Boat first started, I'd say "Hey, it's Walt from Monster Squad!" when Fred Grandy would appear. :D Now, whenever I talk about Monster Squad, all anyone remembers is the 80s movie, not the 70s TV show. So, I have to set them straight. :)
If I could meet Fred Grandy, I'd love to talk with him about his many accomplishments, but I would truly love to know if people still ask him about Monster Squad.
Re. the Frosted Flakes commercial @5:58: that location was (and I imagine probably still is) used for TV show and commercials "camping" scenes. It's Franklin Reservoir, which is in the hills kind of between Beverly Hills and Studio City. It always looks like it's in the middle of nowhere but five minutes from there you're at Coldwater Canyon and Ventura. The Brady Bunch's camping episode was filmed there as was the 70s Annette Funicello Skippy commercial. I believe the Andy Griffith opening sequence was shot there as well.
I remember watching reruns of Monster Squad and Speed Buggy in the summer of '77. I remember those commercials quite well and I and glad to collect these wonderful memories!
I remember back in the 70s when an old jalopy full of people would drive into the middle of the park and hand out snickers bars...
Funny Face was actually as popular as Kool Aid back then. The cups they had were super collectible. All the kids I knew had them.
6:27--I don't remember Funny Face, but looking at this commercial, I inferred that it must have been a Kool-Aid clone.
I had them. 🙂
wait,fred grandy did something else besides the love boat,mind blown ;-)
He was a panelist on Match Game (largely in the 80s of the '73-82 show), and was also a senator.
How dare they discontinue Frosted Rice! I want some now! Also the commercial with the kid being like, "I wonder what it's going to be like when us kids grown up?"
Me in 2022: Oh sweet child of the 70s... It's bad.
Wow, June 25th of 77. I was born just six days later on July 1st.
yusakug my birthday is June 28th... I was ten years old, then, and the rage of the time was STAR WARS! You were born in an amazing year! Always be proud of that.
7:49 “bless you, masked turtle!” 🤣🤣🤣
Now I want some frankenberry
Thanks for putting a smile on my face-but all of your videos do!
excellent... I need to look up Monster Squad..... (born in 71)...I sort of recall that...
Looks like Cookie Monster was ahead of his time. Eating fish, meat and veggies before eating a ton of cookies dumped on him.
4:21 Life Savers and 5:28 Snickers--2 great candy commercials with catchy jingles! The Life Savers one seems to be based on the song "I Want Candy", which is originally by the Strangeloves but does have a Bo Diddley-esque feel to it.
4:52-- Back then I thought that tune was called "Do Your Ears Hang Low"! I'd never heard of "Turkey in the Straw" when I was a kid.
6:57--Ah, the iconic Nestle Quik (now called Nesquik) rabbit, and one of his many unsuccessful attempts to drink Quik slowly.
7:27--Hmmm...I don't seem to remember those Corny Snaps.
8:28--Although Wrigley's is my gum of choice nowadays, back then I loved Bubble Yum and similar brands.
8:58--I must admit that I never cared for Lucky Charms, but I liked their commercials back in the day.
I was just talking about the Lifesavor lollipops the other day. I loved the strawberry and banana one.
I tried Lucky Charms once and couldn't stand it, but I did love their commercials. I still remember the commercials where they introduced purple horseshoes and red balloons.
I remember when they introduced blue diamonds.
Funny Face was basically what you said: a Kool-Aid knockoff. It was originally made by Pillsbury, and was introduced in the early '60s with flavors like Goofy Grape, Injun Orange (later Jolly Olly Orange), Loudmouth Lime, Chinese Cherry and Rootin' Tootin' Raspberry. They weren't bad though. They had to change some of their character names because of backlash from different ethnic groups, and it may have adversely affected their sales.
A strange coincidence to see a bulldozer in the Cookie Monster PSA when I saw an art piece of a bulldozer in the background as Cookie Monster was on an old TV set. The theme was for an environmental art show.
Mr. Wizard!!!!
I'm pretty sure that's Arnold Stang as the voice of the Corny Snaps turtle.
:45 Gopher? I was born in 73,so I didn't know he was in Monster Squad.
Never saw this one!
A Go Bananas shake sounds good.
Some of our older commercials were creepy. Lol
Fred Grandy!
He's from my home state of Iowa! Believe it or not, he actually ran for governor in the 1990's but was defeated in the primary by the then-incumbent.
@@timothysprengeler4071 I seem to remember him being a senator.
Lol- ‘puppet assault’. 😆😆
Crime fighting monsters - a product of its time!
Those darn boomers ruining it for the gen x'ers!
Cereal and the toys they came with seemed a lot cooler back then.
The Gong Show-R.I.P Chuck Barris..the new ABC revival just doesnt compare to the original
Monster Squad-yikes that thumbnail lol
Frosted Rice-now known as Frosted Rice Krispies
Girls Clubs-i think i actually watched a couple of episodes of that Butch Cassidy/Sundance Kids cartoon..had figured if it were inspired by the Newman/Redford film i wonder what the series finale wouldve looked like lol
Speed Buggy-King Kong guest starring in next week's episode..?
Re: Butch Cassidy. This cartoon had nothing to do with the historical figures or the movie based on them...it was about a crimefighting bubblegum pop group: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butch_Cassidy_(TV_series)
Bubble yum giving me the creeps 8:28
That Snickers commercial was basically this: ua-cam.com/video/lMPJZ4YZnqI/v-deo.html
