[@marcgrimshaw1160]

Thanks

[@PeriscopeFilm]

Thanks so much. Gifts like this help us preserve, and present, additional endangered films!

[@nicholassheffo5723]

I've watched literally hundreds of TV commercial compilations on KZbin alone, not to mention on DVD and the like and not only do these look pretty good, but most of these have never been posted on KZbin or anywhere I know of before. Hope you find more!

[@NOLAgenX]

Thanks for the compilation! I was 9 in ‘76 when most of these came out, and remembered many.

[@jimjonez5068]

One of the best KZbin channels!! Great content!

[@defresurrection]

A commercial (Folgers) with a stay-at-home Mom. Ahh, the memories.

[@robertbeda959]

Do you know why Mom's stayed at home in those days?

[@jimmyohara2601]

They did NOT know any better, nor any different (for milenia actually ) then. IT was the culture worldwide 😐🤐

[@michaelpalmieri7335]

​@@jimmyohara2601 That's not necessarily so. There are some tribes in other countries where the FATHERS stay at home and take care of the kids and the mothers go out to work.

[@cherylschantz9893]

[@nativevirginian8344]

@@robertbeda959 because they WERE moms, they had to raise the kids.

[@fromthesidelines]

2:45- (as telop list of stores flashes on screen) "Available at *these* fine stores.........."

[@perrybarton]

20:10 Anna Maria Alberghetti. The announcer (or maybe she herself) usually said her name at the beginning of these spots.

[@marktubeie07]

Wow, indeed, a lovely lady and the most divine singing voice.

[@Gannett2011]

My wife loves these bagged salad toppings, I didn't realise they were a new thing in the 70s. And "crispy bits that taste like bacon" = not bacon!

[@AllenJones-w3p]

Anna is probably best known for having created the female lead in the musical play CARNIVAL.

[@fromthesidelines]

10:59- Produced by Rick Reinert. Original tag- "A public service message from the AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION."

[@davidc8735]

14:00 Morris the cat like 9 Lives

[@fromthesidelines]

John Irwin, who provided his "voice", appears in the Heinz Barbecue Sauce ad at 1:59.

[@jerrimenard3092]

I remember the one for C&H sugar. Infact, thats what's in my tea I am drinking now.

[@BroadwayBabyyy744]

One of the best compilations ive watched! Top quality as always. Thank you for your work. How do you acquire tapes for the channel?

[@dubdaze68]

Amazing how many things they DON'T advertise for now.

[@Dorthy-wx9fq]

My favorite on this video was the C&H sugar ad with the children in Hawaii.

[@armorybrunotjr.3204]

Familiar voiceovers featured: Peter Thomas speaks for Listerine. Hal Douglas speaks for Hertz. John Irwin is the voice of Morris the Cat. Fred Collins speaks for Folger's coffee. Len Gochman shills Visine.

[@micmac99]

Some of these I remember from when I was a kid. The Sunshine Boys came out in '74. 15:23 Most people know the Nature Valley granola bars but the granola came first!

[@cherylschantz9893]

Sam on the Listerine commercial. Loved him on Law & Order.

[@ernestcruz6316]

The First Nudie Musical (13:46 and 19:24) features Cindy Williams and Diana Canova. (Cool your jets guys, those two women keep their clothes on in the movie. Most of the other women, however, do not...) 3:49 - Sam the butcher in that Listerine ad is George Dzundza, who was in Basic Instinct and the original cast of Law & Order. 14:28 - In that Folger's coffee commercial, in addition to Virginia Christine as Mrs. Olson you also have Robert Ridgely as the camera buff in the darkroom. He played the hangman in Blazing Saddles and Robin Hood: Men in Tights. 21:55 - Dexter's sister in the Head & Shoulders ad looks like Ilene Graff from Mr. Belvedere, but I'm not sure if it's her. 22:27 - Clara in the Era laundry detergent commercial is Helen Page Camp. She's back at 28:55, with Mary Wickes as her mom. 25:55 - Patsy Garrett for Purina Cat Chow. 27:22 - The man in the Cheer detergent ad is Scoey Mitchell. 28:24 - In the Dr. Pepper spot with Lee Trevino, Lee's partner "Paul Ellis" is played by Joe Conley, who played general store owner Ike Godsey on The Waltons.

[@marktubeie07]

Superb collection. Having worked in television, I'm guessing this reel of commercials were a batch that were deemed 'damaged'. Back in the day we had to keep the damaged spots and add them to a reel to return them (eventually) to there agencies to receive new copies etc. You'll notice each of these have an issue - splices, used to death, faded print, clipped top & tails, just worn out. Just some info for you...!

[@PeriscopeFilm]

It's possible what you say is true. These commercials came to us via a collector in the San Francisco Bay Area who used to show them as part of his movie nights. So, they got quite a bit of wear! Thanks for your comment. Please subscribe or support us on Patreon.com/Periscopefilm

28.51 Dr Pepper ad has Joe Connelly, the guy who played Ike on The Waltons

[@fromthesidelines]

Joe Conley.

[@angelagoodwin5758]

The Sickle Cell Anemia ad narrator sounded like the late Sidney Poitier.

[@ernestcruz6316]

It was him.

Wasn’t that Valerie bertaneli?

[@bardo0007]

I think I recognized a couple of famous actors in the ads, but I forgot their names.

Absolutely!! 🌟

[@zaq55]

17:27 - 8 digits!? Well, that’s got to be the limit as far as computer technology can go. It’ll never be more powerful than that.

[@mjrodriguez8670]

Heinz Barbecue Sauce? With meat tenderiser?

[@Daledavispratt]

24:43 Everybody knows that nobody can spot a spot like a Swedish mother-in-law...

[@zaq55]

@ 29:00 - Mary Wickes is the woman in the middle.

Yuban folgers hills brothers sanka tasters choice coffee in the 70s lot of coffee drinkers

[@guerralg63]

It was called variety and choice. There were a lot of coffee drinkers, but now there's a lot of Starbucks drinkers. I'm not sure what Starbucks is, but it sure isn't coffee🤢

[@jerrimenard3092]

All the brands mentioned are still available today.

[@MisterPersuasion]

I have been trying to get a decent copy of the "Get Up And Go With Cheerios" jingle for more than 40 years. You have it here in this compilation and it's CUT and EDITED! WTF! Do you have an uncut version of this commercial?

[@PeriscopeFilm]

We do not sorry

[@OofusTwillip]

Flair pens don't "let the real you show" half as well as a fountain pen does. Especially one with a flexible nib.

[@darrylh1971]

10:58 - Animation by Rick Reinert.

[@moxie96]

Now see? That morning star bacon commercial didn’t spin any weird stigma about that it is meat free bacon like the current commercials! Why can’t they do that approach again?

[@michaelpalmieri7335]

In the description of this video, there's a reference to a TV trailer for "Butch Cassidy And The Sunshine Kid," yet several lines down, the CORRECT TITLE of the movie is given: "Butch Cassidy And The SUNDANCE Kid." Why didn't they list the right title in the first place?

[@Daledavispratt]

Yeah, kinda ruins the entire video, doesn't it? Unless of course you were just waiting to find something to criticize, in which case your purpose is served.

Yes folks, the 70s were truly that lame. Thanks to progress, we now have a completely different lame.

[@Playsinvain]

Lame? 10 vitamins plus iron is not lame.. a new Betty Crocker snack cake? That’s exciting…and a barbecue at the super market? Well if that’s lame…I’m a Maytag repairman clapping to Hormel Chili music.
