1960s daytime television commercials 1 hour

[@jbug45945]

Putting vintage commercials back on the shows they promoted makes watching old TV shows much, more nostalgic.

[@terencediamond356]

I like to watch this. In my mind . Its like my personal time travel. I was born in 1958.

[@ManhattanNyc-w5v]

1964 here I loved watching the mod squad,and all the commercials are awesome brings me back to my younger years in brooklyn nyc

[@DionnaTalbott]

I love watching these old classic comericals they're way before my time but they're so much fun to watch and better then today's comercials❤❤😊

[@hanschristianbrando5588]

The best and most deceptive thing about these commercials is that they reflect an idyllic suburban lifestyle: Mom was happy taking care of the house with all these swell products, and cigarettes were so refreshing. It was, though, the acme of the middle class standard of living, a time when it was still possible to sustain a house and family on a single salary.

At least it temporarily took people's minds off Vietnam.

Reagan in the 80s finally destroyed that.

@@markcornish2519 yep. NAFTA sure didn't help. I went to a border town in Mexico in 93 and saw GM, AC Delco, Zenith TV and other factories all next to each other with the shacks where the workers lived right next to them. It was unbelievable. The management lived in Mcmansion housing developments on the American side of the border where citrus groves used to be. It was unbelievable. I still place 75% of the blame on Reagan though. I has family members who lost their livelihoods because of American companies buying cheap Japanese steel en masse decimating the rust belt down through Ohio and Pennsylvania leaving a lot of poverty down through that area even today. Pittsburgh though is one place that has largely recovered while a lot of places weren't so lucky.

I was born in 1961, I enjoy watching these commercials. I can remember a few of them and it also brings to mind how nice and peaceful it was all back then. No cell phones and internet, lol.

[@alfredbloomingdale8921]

Ironically, without the internet, we wouldn't be able to watch these old commercials; I guess you have to take the good with the bad.

[@ricfermi5886]

​@@alfredbloomingdale8921I'm from 61 too and the internet was so needed when I first had it in 96. I wish we had the internet since the day I was born 😅

[@alfredbloomingdale8921]

@Mandi2727 What point did I miss? Tony was complaining about cell phones and the internet, and I reminded him that it was the internet that allowed people to re-live these moments from the past.

[@pamparker4047]

Thanks for sharing such great commercials ❤❤❤❤

Great collection.

20:06 - Chocks - Jingle sung by Norma Zimmer (Lawrence Welk's 1960s-1990s Champagne Lady). Panda voiced by Paul Winchell (the voice of Tigger, Gargamel, and 100s of other characters).

[@zekeonstormpeak4186]

They portrayed really bad foods as healthy, but actually they were better than we have now. We lived better back then, nobody was obese, and most of us are still alive. We didn’t need pads and helmets. We lived our lives, and turned out pretty good.

Bill Bixby (My Favorite Martian, Courtship of Eddie's Father, and The Incredible Hulk) is in the Kent Cigarette ad.

[@Michael-y8l]

Didn't Paul Frees also do Charlie Tuna's voice?

[@ernestcruz6316]

@@Michael-y8l Not sure. It's possible, but not till much later on maybe.

Parkay was all my father would buy. Later on he switched to Blue Bonnet. I never knew how good Real Butter tasted until he passed away. We buy Butter now. All margarine is nothing but Vegetable oil whipped with water and chemicals. My Brother In Law bought the stuff one time and we about gagged from the oily taste. Plus he'll buy Country Crock spread. Nobody eats it but him.

[@naomitims4521]

Same here. Only real butter now, never knew what I was missing. Only had blue bonnet growing up.

[@johnshields6852]

My earliest memories early 1960's huge glass ashtrays wuth smoldering cigarettes, eye level as a toddler, loved that smell, 2nd hand smoke,lol, i grewup in smoke filled rooms, cars, never had s cough, i still smoke. Dont smoke, it does kill

[@sheriheffner2098]

I also grew up in a smokers house. I remember the house smelled of burning cigarettes 24/7. My parents had to take me to the hospital at least a half dozen times when I was a baby and toddler due to their two pack a day habit. I was a severe Asthmatic. I still have inhalers plus a Discus inhaler due to their habit. They both finally quit. He quit due to two heart attacks and a procedure where they put the artificial veins in his chest. He also chewed tobacco on top of the smoking. My mother developed COPD. He died from Lung Cancer in 2012. She died from Alzheimers plus COPD plus Sepsis in February of this year 2024. He started out smoking unfiltered Camels. Then both switched to Kent. Later on they switched to Marlboro. I saw an article in the paper that stated that cigarette smoke can kill your pets. We had a beautiful Red and Black striped Cat. He had a White chest and paws and hind legs. She used to hold him and smoke. He developed Cancer of the kidneys and died at eighteen years old. His name was Tiger.

[@sheriheffner2098]

The second their eyes opened in the morning they lit a cigarette. They smoked in bed. Every morning I woke to the stink of a burning cigarette. I know my sister and I smelled like smoke. I also bet our houses we lived in; including the niece live in now had nicotine stains. I ought to know because the room I sleep in has a nicotine stain around where the first ceiling fan was. He had all the ceilings painted after they quit smoking.

[@sheriheffner2098]

Remember the smokers only rooms in restaurants? That's all I grew up sitting in. Up until they stopped smoking. They finally changed the rules. I remember the tiny Nonsmoking rooms in the restaurant's. And the Dear Abby articles where people; mostly women would put smart aleck comments about how they won't say anything about people putting extra sour cream/salad dressing etc on their foods and calling people fat so don't say anything about her after dinner cigarettes.

General Mills made a cereal called Corn Bursts? How did I not know about it until now? 😕

At 30:04, it shows Bill Bixby in a Kent cigarette commercial?

[@honeycone71]

Isn't that the late actress Marj Dusay @ 1:37 in the commercial for Dove Soap?

[@sheriheffner2098]

It sure does look like her. She used to be on The Facts of Lifecas Monica Warner; Blairs mom. Then she moved to New York and was on Guiding Light. Alexandra Spaulding.

[@sheriheffner2098]

I 've been using Dove for twenty years now. I also use Cetaphil. I have sensitive skin and saw a Dermatologist and he told me to use those soaps. I used to burn easily and haven't had a Sunburn in years.

At 23:35, will always miss you, my Puffa Puffa Rice, always have, always will - NO, never liked Special K, they went out of business NOW will never miss it

[@Michael-y8l]

I remember that Puffa Puffa Rice commercial with the hula dancer. She later became a professional entertainer under the stage name Anita Aloha. (I don't know her real name.) A while after the ad came out, there was a similar commercial for the same cereal in which there were two hula dancers, an adult (I don't know if it was the same one from the previous ad) and a little girl. I've been trying to find that ad on the internet for several years because I've always had a HUGE CRUSH 🥰 ON THAT LITTLE GIRL, BECAUSE SHE WAS SO PRETTY 😍 AND I JUST LOVED HER BEAUTIFUL SMILE! To this very day, I still can't get her out of my mind. 😊 Does anyone know where or how I can find that ad?
