when commercials were enjoyable. not crap today. i love those classic commercials. miss the good ole days. i am 66 but remember some others i don,t.
Commercials today : ughhhh stop interrupting my video
Old commercials: Yeahh I’ll sit through all of this sooo entertaining
watching old commercials is sooooooooooooo soothing. Like being a kid again!
Yeah, slipping back to a nicer time if a person doesn't think about Viet nam, Race riots, Watergate, the Kennedy assassinations, pollution and a dozen other pock marks on the face of the globe. I agree with you though.
Yes, I enjoy watching them, too. Some of them take me back to my childhood days, when life was simple. Wish we could go back to that time.
What ever happened to Prell shampoo? Remember, it was emerald green and came in a clear plastic tube? And L'eggs pantyhose? We played spaceships with the containers when we were kids
@@michaelharrison2165 You can still find Prell in a plastic bottle..same formula and fragrance..they sell the matching conditioner too..
how old are you ,bro? :D
Something is so comforting and cozy about old commercials..... maybe that’s why we keep rewatching them? 😉🌷
I enjoyed these too. Immensely. But I can't imagine anyone who wasn't around back then having any idea why we'd feel nostalgic about these weird old nuggets.
THANKS A MILLION BUDDY
FROM THE 70s BORN IN 62
ME !!!! ALL THE BEST SIR
I will do anything to avoid commercials, yet here I am.
Sooo true!!!---
old commercials were actually entertaining
Makes me miss my grandma and my mom
They don’t miss you because they are dead.
Mr. Clean even cleans the dog.
I will give anything to have those days back.
Only BOLD detergent could take you to a Tropical Bossa Nova Delight! 🤣😁
Oh yea, who doesn't love a hot cup of coffee after a sunny summertime swim!
I'm thinking I need to get Bold detergent now.
It's still made by Procter & Gamble after it's return in 1982.
Yes, I'm thinking that, too. They sure did push those Bold commercials back then.
I'm thinking she should go with Boldman instead of the cranky husband...
The most beautiful wash in the world...
Maybe after I have some Pringles...
now the Pringles chips are smaller and all broken without the paper can liner.
These old commercials were better than most of today’s commercials for a lot of reasons. I think they are more creative, more entertaining and usually the announcer is better. So many commercials these days come on at a ridiculous volume that practically blasts you off your couch, and then the announcer is either yelling or the music is also too loud. I’ve literally gotten hurt scrambling to get the remote when commercials come on. Now c’mon everyone, let’s all do the Sloppy Joe while we sing with our neighbor about our laundry. Lol
There's three ads I haven't seen on these videos. Madge and her Palmolive, "your soaking in it.", Mr. Wimple "don't squeeze the Charmen.", and the ad with the asian guy who would be asked how he got his laundry clean, he would say "ancient Chinese secret."
I just love all the bold commercials..I miss the good old days.
"Honey, who is this strange man in our house?"
"Oh welcome home dear. This is Bold man. He was just showing me his detergent."
"Uh huh..."
RE: the previous post by Barry Grauman and the "Mrs. Smith" (at 21:34) - Both Jackie Joseph and Maggie Peterson (the blonde in this commercial) appeared on the Andy Griffith Show. Jackie Joseph appeared in one episode ("Ramona") and Maggie played "Charlene Darling" on several episodes.
Jackie Joseph was also the speaking voice of Josie on Josie & the Pussycats. Her singing voice was Patrice Holloway.
9:11 I'm old fashioned and think, a coffee should have been made of coffee beans.
I remember eating Pringles for the first time at my grandparents' house. They were so darn salty! Addictive.
My former best friend made me try them in the 90's and I wasn't the biggest on them since I'm not a chip person.
@@ryanm7249 What do you like instead? French fries or something healthier?
@@nostalgianeverland592 I'd take crackers or pretcils for a snack, or at this time of year my Moms awesome frosted Christmas cookies!
@@ryanm7249 They all sound tasty. Yay for your Mom and her awesome cookie baking! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
@@nostalgianeverland592 Merry Christmas to you as well! Mom has to make more because they were all demolished within a few days LOL!
Boy, this video has so many Bold commercials from the '60s! 😆😆😆😆😆
And if you ask me the bold ones are the best ones in this video!
Don't forget the Pringles on your way home.
Vintage marketing was great
5:43 - Bite, yum! Bite, yum! Pretending to eat a sloppy jo-OH GOD, STOMACH PAIN! (the Bite Dance™)
Me: eating
This video: Begins
Me:
*puts bowl down angrily*
Mr Clean, Mr Clean, Mr Clean ding-ding-ding... Loved it as a child.
These women had side Romeos. Mr. Clean & Bold man.
@@johnbockelie3899
Speaking of Mr. Clean, notice how the cleaning woman in the live-action Mr. Clean ad speaks with a thick Irish brogue. They'd never get away with something like that today, because it would be considered too stereotypical.
The actor playing the live-action version of Mr. Clean looked sort of like Yul Brynner (of "The King And I" fame). In fact, I thought it WAS Yul Brynner, at first.
I wondered why he was wearing an earring in his left ear, until I realized it was a commercial for Mr. Clean, and I remembered that in the animated ads for the product and the pictures of M.C. on the bottles, he always wore (and probably still does) an earring in his left ear.
"Stop! Buy HEAD AND SHOULDERS...best damned rough shampoo you can buy!"
Enunciate
!
i'm pretty sure he's saying dandruff shampoo
I’m sold on Bold, the new detergent Bold...I still remember that commercial. ☺️
"Bold man! Boldly stealing your wife while you're too busy bitching about your neighbor's shirts being brighter."
when I was a kid the manufacturers of household items advertised on tv would hand out "free samples" to the whole city by hanging it on your front door knob .......... and mr. clean was one of them .......... we went all around the neighborhood and "borrowed" every bottle we could get our grubby little paws on!
frizzlefrap, I remember that practice. We would get so excited to get these new products!
In Canada, that had to stop when the Hazardous Products Act was passed. The maker of Kleen N Shine got in big trouble for leaving its poisonous cleaner where kids could (and did) get into it.
We recieved our gift samples when our marriage was recorded at the Courthouse . I remember bayer aspirin , Bold detergent , crest toothpaste & Tylenol , which was fairly new . Or perhaps aspirin& powders were more commonly used then.
@ frizzlefrap
You little thieves 😅😅😅👍
I had forgotten all about this. You'd come home from school and there would be a sample of dishwashing liquid, or laundry detergent, or something hanging on the door. You'd take it and dump it into the neighbor's wading pool, and you'd have suds for days! Fun times!
I was surprised that there was no mention of the Tidybowl man. Maybe the Bold man flushed him down the toilet.
A co-worker once explained how they came up with their daughter's name. Apparently while she was pregnant with her she asked her husband for suggestions on names and he glanced over at a bottle of Tidybowl cleaner and blurted out Tidy. For some crazy reason my co-worker liked the way it sounded and thus named their daughter that - actually they named her Tidy Lou. Which is just as bad as Tidybowl since loo is another word for toilet - so the poor girl was technically named "clean toilet." I didn't ask how badly the girl was teased over her name - but I can imagine it had to be rough.
@@rhondaflesher8313 poor girl .😮.. I really hope she legally changed her name 😝
Lol 😂
@15:15 - If these guys get that excited about a can of potato chips, I’d love to play poker with them.
"you can re-cap em!"
Yeah, have fun stuffing them back in the can
The solution finish the can obviously.
Oh, FAB! I'm Glad! There's Lemon Freshened Borax In You!!
Yeah, really rhymes doesn’t it?
Pringles 1960's : Pours out chips that aren't broken.
Me with Pringles in 2022: Pours out chips. The top half is okay, the bottom half are potato flakes.
very nice commercials for me, I am watching these every night exactly for bold detergent
So romantic for a laundry detergent commercial...Bold..😅😅😅
These commercials were cool and full of fun darn special.
DAMN !! A commercial with Boris Karloff ... I wish I was alive back then -- so kickass cool 😎 !!
Every time I see that can of Butter Nut coffee, I think about an episode of "All in the Family when Edith was putting away the groceries, after shopping. She had about 3 cans of it in the shopping bag. Lol
Product placement, perhaps? 😏
bold washing powders, i wish thay sold now, which you dont see again. i wish i could go back to the 60s and 70s.
If you really want some, Bold is hugely popular in the U.K. (I think only 2nd to Persil and Ariel). So you should be able to buy online.
Butter-Nut, great name for a coffee. Just sounds delicious.
Pringles can't call them potato "chips" any more. Now they are potato 'crisps"!
Yeah because doing the laundry always made me sing😏
That' s great, I didn' t know they still sold Prell!
Was the cartoon nuclear husband really upset because his neighbor's shirts were whiter, or was he upset because Boldman was clearly boning his wife?
😄
Can I go back in time please? Thank you
It's sad that how we see our past is through the T.V.
About that era was the 8 track as well, and for cheap you could get old radio programs, like ' the shadow knows'. My parents got a kick out of them, that was their childhood.
I was just singing the frito bandito song the other day. That was one catchy jingle.
At least now we know better than to have a stereotypical and racist advertising mascot.
@@jwb52z9 everything is racist now.
I dare anyone to sing that in LA's barrio. ☠️
Bold! Wins. Beautifull
That Maryland Club coffee ad made me wish I was wealthy enough to hire an Asian houseboy, British butler & French housekeeper. 😁
wow what a statement the most beautiful wash in the world sing it girl !
I would pay money to have that sound play ever time someone looked at pringles
*every
Butternut Coffee..a bright & bouncy flavor??😂😂😂
Former "Bowery Boy"Stan Clemments..appears in one of the"Pringles Newfangeled Potato Chips"commercials..he plays one of the poker players.
I remember em all! Damn good times!
Bold man, how can I thank you....
"Depends, is your husband home?" 🤣
Wonderful ... thank you very much indeed.
Proctor and Gamble cornered the market back then!!
Still do
I can't believe people back in this era actually bought these commercials and believed them.
Especially the ads for those toxic "low-cal" sweetners. ⚗️
No worse than the toxic drugs sold all over TV today....
Madison Avenue .. oh - so - subtle brainwashing ... Continuous hammering of the message .. it works .. it worked then ..it was a gentler sell then . It still works now .. only it's a harder sell now .. especially with the invention of the internet. .. 🤑🤑🤑🤑🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧 .
I love the Head & Shoulders commercial which it starts at 2:09. This really a great commercial in this video.
Head & Shoulders now makes a hair pomade.
All those people scratching their dandruff all over the place makes me want to start wearing a Covid mask. 😷
@@tayler7441 Don't worry, that commercial for Head & Shoulders was in the 1960's long before the COVID-19 pandemic had broke out.
How come Pringles look safer in a can then they do now
Because they're no longer made by Procter & Gamble. Kellogg's now owns Pringles.
@@luisreyes1963 I had to stop eating Pringles because every time I would eat them, they made me sick. Besides, they stopped tasting as good as they used to when I was a kid.
This was the beginning of all the processed food market. I rarely eat potato chips, but if I did it would be the real thing. Not that nasty processed “fake “ potato chips.
I remember the cans being shorter, and having a white, ribbed liner inside. That kept the chips from breaking. And they stayed stacked. They don't fall to the bottom like they do now. Oh, by the way, they're nasty tasting now.
Mr clean gets things wet and ready for action ☺️
Never use as a lubricant.
8:49. *holds a white shirt*
"I thought I was white but I can see with my eyes the difference is like day and night". Lol :D
Only later realised what she actually said.
Bold was really musical!
Lots of cheery jingles. Everyone is happy. Commercials are so serious now. Massive medical disclaimers and ambulance chasers today
I know..
Detergent and coffee, what a society.
Better than the nasty one now..cant even elect a damn President..😅😅😅
0:56 Sucaryl, a cyclamate-based sweetener, was first marketed to the public in 1951. Though Sucaryl promised sweet-tasting foods without adding calories, links to possible increased cancers risks spurred the Food and Drug Administration to ban cyclamates in 1969.
Doesn't surprise me in the least. Artificial sweeteners (or artificial ingredients of any kind) can be trouble.
My Dad used to tell my Mom: Go soak your head..😂😂😂
Proctor and gamble was really on a roll
I want everything seen here . 😂Anybody else craving coffee now?-
I suspect that some of these products have been discontinued.
yes i want everything there now that you mention it
A lot of test-marketing spots here. "Available in limited areas."
good collections!
Wow I love these old commercials :)
My favorite is Miles Nervine. I could use some about now.
So this Cadden guy must have been the Don Draper of his era.
This reminds me of watching Mad Men.
Love how the ladies were back then!
3:40 I thought bold man was going to pick her up, and carry her into the bedroom and she would exclaim "My sir you are Bold!"
Woman: "Wait Bold man how can I thank you?"
Boldman: " Just dont tell your husband!"
Same here, only I thought he was going to do her on top of the washer. I mustn't visit Pornhub right before watching old commercial videos.
😅😅😅😅
I love the bould commercial at 21:30! Too awesome!
*Bold
What if Yul Brenner was Mr. Clean? Lol..😂😂😂
The heartbreak of dandruff..😂😂
Sucaryl: When THAT was considered fat. Oh how far we have come...in the wrong direction.
One Thing about the commercials in the 60'... They didn't think about black folks and that THEY buy products too! that came in the 70's
@Wayfarer Wow..how racist.
The old VHS format is gone now but back in the day the ability to record TV on a timer and watch it later was amazing, why you could even fast forward and rewind, slo-mo and freeze frame was even possible, most tapes were 120 min.,180 were available even 30s and 60s but 120s the most popular, and cheap, so if there was something you wanted to keep on the 120 even 10 minutes worth somewhere and you wanted to record another 2 hour movie you just bought another one, or even a pack of 3.
So it didn't take long and soon you had a box full off them. The format lasted a long time, 30 years, hard to believe now, any way, everyone had old tapes, from 20 years ago wasn't uncommon, many weren't labelled, so you plugged one in to see what was on it, or rewatched your favourites. The thing that supprised me, as much as you hated the commercials when you recorded them, when they were 10 or 20+ years old they were the most entertaining part, those old commercials you couldn't avoid until you could. Can't do that with your new digital PVR. Well you could but who would.
Any body figure out how to download PVR content to a saveable format?
Had to make DVD players to kill out VCRs.and the damned things dont do anything and seldom work more than a month or two...but thats progress....
Thay one bold commercial with the two women outdoors singing on the clothesline. The blond was I'm pretty sure was the hillbilly girl who was always hanging, flirting with Andy Griffith on Andy Griffith show.
We used to take our potato chips much more seriously back in the day.
3:51
I thought Boldman was going to snort that detergent like how kids eat tidepods a few years ago.
20:26 Best commercial yet! Funny to this day!
Thanx for compiling & sharing those ... Considering resources then (?) A lot were verrrry well done 👍
Mr. Clean looking pissed with his earring on lol
i was literally scratching the back of my head the second the 2:13 commercial started XD should have seen the look on my face
Yes, all very nostalgic, but also a reminder of how we have changed socially. Not all was beautiful back then even if the commercials make it look that way.
The worst has to be our Astronauts. My parents brought home the weirdest things in the world and put them before us to eat for breakfast.
"The astronauts had this in space ! The astronauts ate this, so can you. Eat it."
And my mom never had less than 47 different brands of laundry detergents and powder bleaches, besides Clorox. Talk about feeling like you live in a TV commercial ? I miss these cleaning commercials. They showed people how to clean their homes !
Capitalism. 😏
If people used that much detergent in their HD washers now, they would have a room full of foam running over like Bobby Brady the time he washed his good clothes after trying to save his school mates cat from the abandoned house.
I think you mean HE.
Yes🤣I meant HE.
Classic commercials are great. Most entertaining, and the occasional appearance of a celebrity. Todays commercials are boring and forgettable.
The Pream spot features Sgt. Bilko - or maybe it’s Jenny Piccolo’s dad 😃
Pringles are only marginally more flavorful than poker chips.
In the pringles commercial starting at 15:07, the guy in the sweater with the crew cut is norman grabowski. In the 1950s he was famous in the hot rod community as the inventor of the T-bucket hot rod. His car was featured in quite a few car and hot rod magazines which resulted in his car being rented to be used in tv shows and movies. Which in turn led to norm having an acting career of his own thanks to the connections he made through hollywood always renting his car. He didnt become a big star, but he acted in quite a large number of tv shows and movies.
His last acting job before he retired from acting was the 1981 burt reynolds movie, the cannonball run. He can be seen briefly as a guy changing a tire on a van. His back is to the camera. Apparently he had a few more scenes in which his face could be seen, but those scenes were edited out.
That's an interesting story. What exactly is a T-bucket hot rod?
@michaelpalmieri7335
From wikipedia:
A T-bucket (or Bucket T) is a hot rod, based on a Ford Model T[1] built from 1915 to 1927, but extensively modified. T-buckets were favorites for greasers.
Model Ts were hot-rodded and customized from the 1920s on, but the T-bucket was specifically created and named by Norm Grabowski in the 1950s. This car was named Lightning Bug, better known as the Kookie Kar, after being redesigned by Grabowski and appearing in the TV show 77 Sunset Strip, driven by character Gerald "Kookie" Kookson. The exposure it gained led to numerous copies being built.
A genuine T-bucket has the two-seater body of a Model T roadster (with or without the turtle deck or small pickup box), this "bucket"-shaped body shell giving the cars their name. A Model T-style radiator is usually fitted, and even these can sometimes be barely up to the task of cooling the large engines fitted. Windshields, when fitted, are vertical glass like the original Model T.
Danny Dark lends his memorable voice in three memorable Pringle's spots.
Thanks. I’ll add him to my list of commercial voice-over actors.
@@zaq55 You should. Danny Dark also voiced Superman on "The Super Friends" and was the voice of NBC during the 1980s.
I love being on a beautiful beach dreaming of having the most beautiful laundry in the whole world; so fulfilling.
