Is it just me I wonder? I'm 73 years-old, and seeing these old t.v. ads give me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. I was 21 in 1970 and these commercials bring back such warm and happy memories of a bygone era.
The late, great, Jack Klugman was one of the truly great character actors. He appeared in three Twilight Zone episodes and was outstanding in every one of them. The women in the Certs & Listerine commercials are knockouts!!! A guy would have to be crazy to not want to kiss them, bad breath or not!!
Old Recipe Schlitz Beer was a very , very good beer . My Dad drank it and would lose track of his beer about 3/4 of the way gone and open another while he barbequed every weekend . I always came behind and " found " his lost beer . I remember liking the flavor even as an adolescent.
Great to hear from someone else who (briefly in my case) knew Schlitz had tasted good --then was ruined by a make-it-cheaper&cheaper new CEO, formula ruined. Customer view ruined.
Miss Emily uses Efferdent! I remember when Puffs, toilet paper, and paper towels came in pastel colors. I don't remember the cereal Honey Crunches but remember the toy.
3:20 What's interesting about these old filmed commercials is sometimes you will see numbers and other symbols flashing on the edge of the picture, like here on the lower right hand corner at the beginning. The CRTs used in television sets at the time would normally crop these out, but on a modern LCD display you see them. These numbers served various purposes during the production process and were not meant to be seen by the public.
OMG..Thank you! The CERTS commercial...when I was little, I thought that's how life would be. When I grew up, they discontinued CERTS. So that's how my life has been. :)
We always made fun of commercials back then on how UnReal people appeared. We knew they were pulling our legs on how good these products made them feel.
Schlitz was once the largest beer brand in the US, then they changed the formula. Google 'Schlitz snot' and read the sad story of how a once famous brand was destroyed by cost cutting.
These are so fun. Maybe it's because I was a kid when they first aired on TV. There's something about them-- the narrations, the settings, the characters. Some of them are little pop culture gems, and even time capsules. What's interesting is that Listerine never showed the person gargling, they always dissolve to the happy scenario afterward; maybe that's because anyone who ever used Listerine knows that it feels like taking a sip of moonshine mixed with battery acid and bleach, LOL. You *always* winced and cringed right after.
Yeah, Schlitz ruined itself. Went from 3rd most popular beer to --tasting like soap. I read an article that answered why and how: a new bean-counter at the helm went to cheaper and cheaper processes and materials...
Yeah i remember these tv ads from way back when. Oh Wow! The certs commercials i do remember they showed up on. Dick Clarks American Bandstand alot. Anybody remember his dance show during the 60's & 70's?
@@Aramanth I don't think I've had a Certs in 40 years. I know I bought them sometimes when I was growing up, it's been so long I don't remember even what they tasted like. I got old when I wasn't looking. 😮
Thanks for posting how great it is to see all these old commercials again I remember seeing them originally only the color was much better than I guess time has a way
The end of an era. Did they stop doing that because a prize enticed kids to eat sugary foods (and militant parents rose up in furor), or was it to cut costs in general, or were there too many choking hazards over the years? I somehow missed this entire change even though I occasionally eat sweetened cereals. I'm over 50 and I still like some of the yummy ones like Cap'n Crunch and Frosted Flakes-- but I just eat them once in a while as a treat.
@@susanb2015 Cutting costs is probably exactly why. Well, at least we will always have the memories of getting the prizes, and of leisurely Saturday mornings in front of the teevee.
@@susanb2015 How the hell can ANY kid not notice there is a free toy in the bowl,and choke on it? Like always some possible threat of a lawsuit killed off a little bit of fun. How did we ever survive without our parents and regulators hovering over everything? A lot of modern life sucks. Cheers!
Comments like yours always crack me up. That's a good one about the society taking a turn for the worst when they took the prizes out of the cereal boxes. That is hilarious.
I specifically remember watching the Trident commercial with the black family. And the older woman in the Efferdent commercial with the outside grocer was one of the Baldwin sisters on The Waltons.
Doesn't every generation that reaches a certain age? My grandparents loved it when they were kids, and my parents loved their younger days more than their kids. And my younger days seemed so much better than when my kids were growing up. Timeless and never ending.
In summary: people back then got hammered on Schlitz, needed Bromo for the hang over because Alka Seltzer took too damn long, and then they spent the rest of their day worrying about their breath.
I feel old because I recognized both Jack Klugman and Harry Guardino hocking Bromo. This is even worse than last week when I recognized a young Edward Herrmann (probably best remembered from my generation as Grandpa Richard Gilmore from The Gilmore Girls) playing a young hipster with a house full of Panasonic hi-fi equipment. =D
I am thrilled to see Star Wars toys in Kellogg's cereals and DC comics in GM cereals, but it's been years since cereal companies have put toys in there on a regular basis. I miss all the nifty little gems in cereal boxes.
Web - Probably something to do ' keep our children safe' idiocy. Like some kid is not going to notice a little prize in the bowl of cereal and eats it. LAWSUIT! Cheers.
My mom would always buy a box of Nabisco Sugar Wheat Honey for my younger brother, and a box of Nabisco Rice Honeys for me when she went shopping. We always asked her for those because they had the coolest toys inside the box. I remember, I think it was Kellogg's, that had a bowling game advertised on the box. My mom would send $2 to Battle Creek, Michigan for each bowling lane and bowler, and a week or two later my brother and I had two very cool ten pin bowling games to play with.
8:15- "Great Honey Crunchers" (wheat and rice varieties) replaced Nabisco's "Wheat Honeys" and "Rice Honeys" in 1972. They also offered the "Space Orbiter" that year. At the time, Nabisco was also one of the sponsors of "THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISNEY".
For all of you people born after the 1960s, just an FYI, Schlitz used to be pretty decent man beer until the 1980s when it became fire brewed and Stroh’s was more or less a company that took over. Schlitz has been pure rotgut since then. Schlitz was up there with Budweiser, a beer many manly men and alcoholics drank, the mean, hairy men a lot of kids hated and were scared of.
Josey - I worked in industrial radiography (x-ray),we used TONS of special film ,inspecting all kinds of stuff,welds in particular. Still in use today ,digital not being an option. Cheers!
I miss the 60s and 70s I remember using camay and Bromo Seltzer and eating certs I miss Jack Klugman loved him on Quicey MD I think that show and other show my daughter loved to watch the two roommates I can't remember the show my oldest daughter loved watching the show I'll think of it after I finish writing this
"She still won't go out with me. Do you think it's my breath?" "Here, use this Listerine Battery Acid, it's the only thing that can possibly help you. And doesn't every woman love the scent of Battery Acid?" :)
We loved those where I worked. We'd break them in two and use the springy tab part to fling the rings 50-75 feet. Fortunately we were all wearing safety glasses.
I think you're right about that. Great catch, if it's so. Btw, the building in question, which does indeed look like one of the twin towers going up, is present in several scenes, starting with the first one in the commercial. I've seen pictures of the twin towers going up and this looks exactly like what I remember.
Ever see Judd Hirsch's 1971 commercial where he plays a disc jockey, and announcer Peter Thomas says, "We asked Bud Kidder what HE thought of the taste of Listerine..."/"I HATE IT!.......But I USE it! It's true, this stuff WORKS!"/**A very attractive woman passes behind him**/"And, like, I gotta keep my engineer happy......Y'KNOW! And now, kids, late sounds, GREAT sounds-----"/"LISTERINE ANTISEPTIC. It's got the taste people hate....TWICE A DAY!"
Erick Lange Back in the 50's, I believe, Lysol came in brown glass bottles Mostly, women poured it in mop buckets with hot water to mop and disinfect floors and such, but there WERE ads in papers and magazines that urged women to douche with it so their hoo-has didn't smell bad. No lie!
But it wasn't a good time for a woman to be alive. In these days a woman could not own real estate or get a credit card in her name. There was even a time when women couldn't even file for divorce or ask for police assistance if her husband beat her. Yep, those days were great for men.
@3 Suns Moon Certs were great,very popular, hard for see why they're not made anymore. Seems like the folks in the commercials were getting laid a lot, thanks to ' retsyn'. Cheers!
@@barbaradavis8372 Don't fergit today's big pop singers, dripping sexual imagery and innuendo for the kiddies to emulate. Some of the selfies (ugh!) you see now? Look at me,me,me!
@danger stranger Ya know, danger,you make a lot of good points,I agree.I never said anything remotely about older stars private behavior. People are who they are no matter what time they lived. Almost all the stars throughout history had some kind of weird shit going on. But please,enough with everyone blaming a stint in rehab on sex abuse,bad parents,bullying,wife, husband,stress,erectile dysfunction, on and on.How refreshing would it be to hear " Hey, I just like to party a little too much".Now you gotta do the talk show circuit .What happened to interesting conversations and topics is all meant.Jeesh, lighten up.
I'll be sure to take a Certs, so she'll kiss me again, after having a ice cold Schlitz on my boat. I'll be sure to pick up an extra case of Schlitz, so I'm not out of beer.
@dan cussin Yes, you are correct, sir! That could be a tag line for erectile dysfunction drugs with Gene Simmons as spokesman. That fuck loves to count money, and he's certainly old enough. Anyway, great story, good fortune in your endeavors. Any Eschers(sp) ?
Was that Ian McShane at 5:50 doing the Bromo Seltzer Commercial? Love Him, quite a difference from that rat he played in Deadwood. Of course I looked a whole lot different back in those days to, The hair do and the side burns, oh how I remember, well at least he wasn't wearing a leisure suit, but that would have been the next decade. Great Stuff , loved it all, thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@barkingstarz4730 Dont know what I was thinking, if that was McShane he be super old and probably dead by now. Thanks pointing that out, they do look the same though.........
I remember some of the ad campaigns (as in, their tag lines) even if I don't remember the specific commercials. Got to admit, though, the one for that one detergent (Dreft?) was totally new...
I love these old advertisements. Way better than nowadays....

Just seeing this for the first time in 2020, and I'm 61 -- good days gone by. Remember so many of these. Thank you Moses Orion.
Those were the days... sigh....
You don't even have to pay attention to the products in the commercials, just listen to the background music and it screams happy nostalgia days!
I especially like the casting director at BROMO who decided to cast two wonderful actors: Jack Klugman and Harry Guardino. Excellent!!!
Unfortunately Bromides were deadly, taken off the market by 1975 - and caused 'Bromism'. No wonder they were so angry...
The late, great, Jack Klugman was one of the truly great character actors. He appeared in three Twilight Zone episodes and was outstanding in every one of them. The women in the Certs & Listerine commercials are knockouts!!! A guy would have to be crazy to not want to kiss them, bad breath or not!!

Best beer made when you can find it in the bottle.
Great to hear from someone else who (briefly in my case) knew Schlitz had tasted good --then was ruined by a make-it-cheaper&cheaper new CEO, formula ruined. Customer view ruined.
Schlitz tried to recover. I had some in the early 90's and it was good; not the wretched soap i had once around 1976 and never again.
I hated the taste of beer when I was a teenager, but it kind of grew on me later in life.
These ads bring back more warm memories of childhood than anything else - thank you. Please post more. ☮️💟
Some of the cinematography on these still looks good literally 50 years later.
But I love it either way
Good memories. Don't care what they are about. Just jiggled the mind. Brought me back. Thanks!
That Listerine of yesteryear could damn burn your mouth off..😂😂🎈🎈

Great collection! Always enjoy these commercials from my childhood. Thanks for sharing.-

I'd much rather watch half an hour of these old t.v. ads than any 'modern' half hour t.v. series in 2023.
Australian darts. Never saw that before.
Schlitz was the 1st, “Dad, can I sip your beer?”, sip. Remember the exact taste to this day.

Nature's plan all along.
Sigh....Good times 😂
Not my supervisor. Breathy Beer smell with peppermint lifesavers you could smell coming. Yuk. 😷
Toss in a McDonald's commercial and you got the 70s in a nutshell
These commercials are mainly about beer, flatulence, and bad breath. Not necessarily in that order.
Anything about vagicil?
"Vagicil" wasn't advertised on TV at the time.
Manly stuff
That's what made TV viewing in the 70's fun! 🤣

But it wasn't a good time for a woman to be alive. In these days a woman could not own real estate or get a credit card in her name. There was even a time when women couldn't even file for divorce or ask for police assistance if her husband beat her.

You are so right! Just think of the positive role models in pro sports for children to look up to. Now pro sports are trashy!
@@barbaradavis8372 Don't fergit today's big pop singers, dripping sexual imagery and innuendo for the kiddies to emulate. Some of the selfies (ugh!) you see now? Look at me,me,me!
@danger stranger Ya know, danger,you make a lot of good points,I agree.I never said anything remotely about older stars private behavior. People are who they are no matter what time they lived. Almost all the stars throughout history had some kind of weird shit going on. But please,enough with everyone blaming a stint in rehab on sex abuse,bad parents,bullying,wife, husband,stress,erectile dysfunction, on and on.How refreshing would it be to hear " Hey, I just like to party a little too much".Now you gotta do the talk show circuit .What happened to interesting conversations and topics is all meant.Jeesh, lighten up.
@danger stranger are you ok? Yikes
I'll be sure to take a Certs, so she'll kiss me again, after having a ice cold Schlitz on my boat. I'll be sure to pick up an extra case of Schlitz, so I'm not out of beer.
From what the ad shows (and what I remember about Certs), I think she'll be a lot more impressed with your sailboat, than with the Certs. ;)
You have a boat?
Wishbone is inflammable...would've never guessed.
So awesome!! Thank you!! I can't believe it but I actually remember some of these commercials Haha
That looks like Bo Svenson at 4:51 drinking a Schlitz! He was great in the TV series Walking Tall
Those were the good old days
Good ole' Bromo Seltzer...we always had a bottle in the house...
Not enough beer commercials!
@dan cussin Don't remember Duke,but wasn't Billy Dee Williams the spokesman for CARLINS Black Label? Cheers!
@dan cussin Yes, you are correct, sir! That could be a tag line for erectile dysfunction drugs with Gene Simmons as spokesman. That fuck loves to count money, and he's certainly old enough. Anyway, great story, good fortune in your endeavors. Any Eschers(sp) ?
I'll drink to that...
The best part of this video was from 1:30-1:45. (Followed closely by 6:30-6:43.) Captivating! ;)
This guy must have liked Schlitz.
Oh my god it's that guy who played as the police cheif at 5:32 in Dirty Harry starring ClintEastwood
You didn't need to say "starring Clint Eastwood"--I think EVERYONE knows who Dirty Harry was, LOL
Was that Ian McShane at 5:50 doing the Bromo Seltzer Commercial? Love Him, quite a difference from that rat he played in Deadwood. Of course I looked a whole lot different back in those days to, The hair do and the side burns, oh how I remember, well at least he wasn't wearing a leisure suit, but that would have been the next decade. Great Stuff , loved it all, thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s Harry Guardino.
@@barkingstarz4730 Dont know what I was thinking, if that was McShane he be super old and probably dead by now. Thanks pointing that out, they do look the same though.........
Ever Forward well Guardino died long ago!
Certs helped me when a kissing contest back in 1967. I was 67 years old then and the oldest contestant.
Ya, sure ya did...
I remember some of the ad campaigns (as in, their tag lines) even if I don't remember the specific commercials. Got to admit, though, the one for that one detergent (Dreft?) was totally new...
Does anyone remember the FDS commercials? Feminine Deodorant Spray.....lol. That stuff was what Listerine couldn't cure....
I liked all those commercials. I think we only got Certs here in Australia. Love the comments just as much!
