Impressive . One nameplate division . It shows what a goliath GM was . Not to mention there other nameplates i.e. Pontiac , Buick , etc. with their own shows .
This commercial in particular is bizarre, a commercial riffing on subliminal advertisement. I wonder if it common knowledge that subliminal advertising was being developed around that time. I feel like this would be good for an essay on psych history
I enjoyed this so much! I was born in 1959 so these were all older than me, however I do remember the Cracker Jack commercial! It must have run for years lol. I look forward to watching everything you have!!
Well... television as we know it really didn't start to blossom until the late 1940s/1950s. So while there commercials in the 40s, the memorable ad campaigns really didn't emerge until the 50s. Although none of that explains the title of this video - for that, I got nothin'... 🤔🙄
These are so FUN to watch😊! It's crazy how some of the commercials were a bit longer than what we are used to today 😄. But for how entertaining they are, I wouldn't mind😎👍! I also find it funny that with the cigarette commercials that they can smoke it, but with the beer commercials they can't drink it😄😄
kkm35 kkm35 - I never understood that as a small child, why the TV commercial would show this cartoon Hamms bear and talking about Hamms beer that's really meant for adults? Does the cartoon mean kids can have it too? I don't think so.
@@markkracht9413 trans people existed back then, you just didnt have the access to know about them then as much as information was much more insular! your lack of understanding/ability to empathize doesn't mean anything.
They don’t make wind up watches or alarm clocks anymore. They all run on batteries I had a portable wind up Victrola when I was a kid. I got laughed off the beach when I played a Guy Lombardo version of Boo Hoo record on the Victrola
It's interesting to see a Keds ad aimed at boys, it's generally thought of more as a women's brand these days. I don't think they even make men's Keds anymore.
@@ev4898 In the 1960s, it was an aluminum pan with its own popcorn kernels and handle, and you cooked it on the stove after taking the cardboard top off, and the aluminum on it got bigger and bigger as it popped; a commercial in the 1960s used to show that.
It was fun to make as kids. You had to constantly shake it back and forth across the stove burner so it wouldn't burn. Yes, the commercial would show the aluminum on top blowing up like a balloon
I remember the Hertz commercials with the flying OJ Simpson. Hertz pulled that commercial when OJ was arrested for murder His movies were also pulled from broadcast
All these commercials are available on various DVD collections of old TV commercials. They're on Mill Creek Entertainment's 1001 Classic Commercials set, and also on Madacy's Classic TV Commercials set. Probably on many others as well.
My father almost bought a Renault but got a better deal on a Simca back in 1963. Both were made in France and had 4 cylinder engines He traded in a 1952 Ford Fairlane for the Simca
I'm guessing that clowns were shown alot in the 1950s, but I remember in the first half of the 1960s they were showing Brand X , comparing that to the product quite often.
I remember Jiffy Pop in the 60's too and the 70's. It came after InstaPop. Jiffy is still around - I bought it at a Dollar General store and was so excited to show it to my granddaughters lol.
That dad in the second 1959 Chevrolet ad (the one after Pat Boone and Dinah Shore, at 15:36) is kinda dumb...buys a new car rather than just paying someone to fix the door latches...like getting a shotgun to kill gnats. He's a car salesman's wet dream.
I remember a Black friend musing that when they were kids they thought only White people had body odor, yellow teeth, etc. Because Black folks weren't in these commercials.
Such fun, lovely illustrations, good music, imaginative, and the people were well spoken and well dressed
Well who would have thought, we’d actually appreciate watching the commercial! 😚
Well, that movie demolition man, for one.
That pepsodent commercial is now the earliest form of rap music I have ever heard.
She had bars, and teeth to outshine the sun! XD
Nothing says America like cars, cigarettes, and beer 🤣
I'm getting nastalgic from this and I have no clue why.
Your past life
The phenomenon of becoming nostalgic for a past you never lived through is called 'anemoia.'
My smartphone is getting cancer from all these old cigarette commercials
13:48--Pat Boone and Dinah Shore...two different singers who had variety shows on two different networks...both were sponsored by Chevrolet.

Why didn't Chevrolet sponsor the Nat King Show.
That 1957 Chevrolet truck commercial was one of the best ever. Won many awards for GM for it's great poetry alone.
Voiceover provided by the then-voice of Chevrolet, Joel Aldred.
Love this. These are hard to find nowadays.
I saw DVDs of this on Ebay, Amazon, Walmart and other outlets.
commericals now are lame
@@scottgroves3814 and it seems like the commercials now forget what they’re advertising almost
@@lordaxolotl7257 Commercials now aren't even trying to sell their crap, they are trying to sell their "rebuild better" New World Order agenda.
wish we could go back to this better days 🙏🏻🇺🇸
Me to the world 🌎 was normal than
@@allimkhan7540 The world was not normal in the 40's, bud lol
Omg i love old ads but the sad part is that there hard too find nowadays or discontinued ages ago
Really? Because the real sad part is all the garbage they left behind, and radium.
I wish I knew which ones SPECIFICALLY were from the 40’s. There is barely ANY surviving TV from the 40’s
The uncle that the narrator loved very much got the kid to smoke by the warm memory of Robert Burns and wearing the band. Pleasant way to get cancah
Fun!!!!!! I love vintage commercial from the 40s to the 80s.
More please!!!!!!!
i bet band aid cant hold a egg now
They actually can. I tried it.
I enjoyed this so much! I was born in 1959 so these were all older than me, however I do remember the Cracker Jack commercial! It must have run for years lol. I look forward to watching everything you have!!
47:46 But I still remember the Cracker Jacks commercials with Jack Gilford. They always made me laugh!
1:00:02 may need good headphone's you hear the presenter say take tea and see then a second of quiet followed by a faint voice saying goddamn it lmao
Jello instant pudding is still available. Recently brought some for banana pudding.
I'm sure it'll never go away lol.
The Butter Nut Coffee Commercial...the pure unadulterated genius of Stan Freberg. Man I miss him!!
4:45 Nice Galaxy Note 10 she has
Lolol.
I love this journey into a safer time.
Yeah if you're white..lol
Volkswagen Beetles were good cars when they were made in Germany. Their quality nosedived when they made them in Mexico
There's nothing from the 1940s here. All these ads are from the 1950s into the middle 1960s.

think so.
The alcohol does more damage in short time than cigarettes
That was the 40’s. At least kids knew what sex they were. This is a much more disturbing time.

"Join the millions who find Rheingold Beer - extra dry!" That's the final line of the last commercial, which got cut off here.
Thank you.

I Love Commercials 😢😢😢😢
Maypo commercial...Mel Brooks was the adult voice over
At 28:00, we bought this popcorn at the Thriftymart, but it was called Jiffy Pop, and we cooked it on the stove.
What is jiffy pop?

I found my uncles jiffy pop in the attic.I hope it is good to use now.
I remember the Hertz commercials with the flying OJ Simpson. Hertz pulled that commercial when OJ was arrested for murder His movies were also pulled from broadcast
OJ was found not guilty by a jury of his peers.
My mother always bought me Keds sneakers at the Robert Hall store. Either one is in existence anymore
The Chinese baby Jello commercial was banned from TV before I was born. The Aunt Jemima commercials were banned recently
He must have sifted through a lot of flea markets to find these films.

39:30, show me a NEW wringer washer and I'll buy it now! I grew up with them!
Ikr! I used to have one and lost it. I would pay anything for another one. They are such good washers.
They were so much better! In fact everything was better quality, made to last.
Commercials were much more creative and entertaining, in those days.
can that band-aid fix families though?
My father almost bought a Renault but got a better deal on a Simca back in 1963. Both were made in France and had 4 cylinder engines He traded in a 1952 Ford Fairlane for the Simca
Pepsodent used Irium which was radioactive in their toothpaste.
Many of these commercials were added to a Hall of Fame by an organization related to the advertising industry.
Tom and Jerry was in the 40's and 50's started in 1940 -1958 tom and jerry vintage shorts from 40's and 50's
I remember when people bought a new car every year!
That potato chip ad got me dead
Thanks for sharing.
Up to 40mpg highway?!! Small cars for the win, 1950-present
I want to learn how to speak like this
Me too.
In the ad for Mum with M-3 . Could that be a Smart Phone the undercover agent is holding ?
Pick up an egg and boil it in water, suspended by a band-aid? Don't think so!
I know. I’d like to try to to see if it would really work
What am i doing with my life
There were so many clowns in commercials a long time ago
I'm guessing that clowns were shown alot in the 1950s, but I remember in the first half of the 1960s they were showing Brand X , comparing that to the product quite often.
Now they run countries.
They were far less scary in those days.
I noticed it also none from the 40s
No no, Jiffy Pop in the 1960s came with a metal handle.
I remember Jiffy Pop in the 60's too and the 70's. It came after InstaPop. Jiffy is still around - I bought it at a Dollar General store and was so excited to show it to my granddaughters lol.

These old commercials are way better then this garbage that’s out today not 5 to ten minutes long
i wish they were titled with the year
WERE there any TV ads in the 40s? There weren’t many TVs.
Yes but not too many ads remain. But they did exist.
And in 2022 many of these American products are made overseas.
where was the walt disney donald duck advertising?
Back when you can say band-aids are flesh-colored
I did not know old Mgr. / bench coach , wad of chewing tobbaco in cheek Don Zimmer was ever that young !
I know. It's a trip seeing Him with hair on his head.
Where are the Band Aids with super glue?
Im waiting for the comments on bandaids

Why would you think of giving your baby PET milk ??!!
that's the name of the company.
Moms used to make their own formula back in the day before Enfamil, etc. The base ingredient was PET milk. It's just canned evaporated milk.

39:12 wtf is on her head
i love the aesthetic of 40-70s era commercials but the blatant racism/sexism in some of them is so gross

@celticman - that's priceless! 😂🤣
