[@Dorthy-wx9fq]

Born in 1962 and well be 62 this year. And boy do I remember the 1970's first part I was a kid but by the mid part of the 70's I was a teenager. I loved growing up in that decade. And the ads from that period brings back wonderful memories. Love from Marysville California

[@MyMelodyOfTheHeart]

Murine Ear Drops- The animation of the ear getting cleaned in this commercial is so classic, that, I even remember seeing it in commercials like this one when I was a kid in the 90’s. Elmer’s Glue All- I always thought that the Bull Man mascot on the packaging was a long lost relative of Elsie the cow mascot for Borden cheese.

[@buffybrown1619]

Joe Dimaggio with the Mr Coffee Maker brings fond memories because we could have almost fresh perked coffee in the morning.

[@marshaq3960]

I was born in ‘72! I remember many of these commercials, but didn’t realize there was a constipation epidemic! 🤣

[@ambervelvetarden4586]

Those twisty watchbands pinched really bad. 😄

[@quad5186]

Especially if it’s catching on hair😂 that feeling just came back to me.

[@JohnW.Hancock]

They stunk too. Sweat would get in the links and make the band smell like a gym locker. 😂

[@Moonewitch]

You ain't lying! I used to sneak & wear my Aunt's. After getting pinched to death I never bothered it again.😂

[@yusakug]

1:57 - I couldn’t help but think of the scene from UHF here where Weird Al lives next door to a karate school, and when he asks his friend what time it is, a fist with a watch on its wrist punches through the wall to show him the time.

[@yusakug]

28:20 - Finally! A company that understands my desire to stand on egg cartons!

[@tarpleyk9352]

Shout out to 1972... Now? I'm 52 Thank you for these❤This is Awesome

[@Dorthy-wx9fq]

Ah, the 1970's take me back to the simpler times. I remember some of these ads but not a lot of them. Love from Marysville California

[@JerryOrbachFan]

I can't believe 1976 is almost 50 years ago. 😮

[@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc]

I was just 5 years old in 1976.

[@fuelingforthelight]

Ah yes, the backache epidemic of the 70's. Maybe it was actually their kidneys from drinking all that coffee.

[@Misfit_Kitten]

Really good quality for '76. I was only five months old at the time, but I feel like some of these commercials are still familiar. 2:45 I'm pretty sure this woman's parents didn't name her "Mrs. Dave", '70s. :(

[@80sCommercialVault]

The man in the Hungry Man ad is baseball/basketball player and coach Dave DeBusschere, who was a well known sports personality at the time. It's common to call the spouse of somebody famous "Mr or Mrs ____" since his wife wasn't famous.

[@MelissaSherlock-m7m]

Omg makes me cry I was an 80's baby 81) I love them I love history and what came before me I spent all day Saturdays and Sundays watching it on the big screen TV it takes me away I love it 😊 I love u❤ keep up the excellences

[@yusakug]

“You’ve been chocolated by the Chocolator!”

[@limeex90]

I remember seeing these types of trees in Kmart back in the '90s

[@Seeklip196T]

Ahhh...Ken Nordine is the voice behind the tasters choice coffee commercials. One of a kind.

[@bethknapp4935]

I forgot how brown everything was!! 😂😂

[@GoonSquadLifeMember]

Brown...orange....avocado green...gold. Those were the colors of the 70s. Oh, I forgot: Chamois, a whitish tan-yellow we used to call "baby sh!t yellow".

[@jayg473]

The 80s exploded everything into wild colors.

[@TerrickTerran]

Congrats on 100. 1976 so long ago now. First time I've ever seen Dave DeBusschere though I've ready about him many times when I used to read up on old Basketball stuff.

[@ZanaB_50]

I used to comment on this channel's uploads every week, but then I just stopped. Anyway, (38:19) the nice Black lady in the Hamburger Helper ad is the actor Margaret Avery who was Oscar nominated for Best Supporting Actress in the film "The Color Purple" back in the 80s. Also, Jeff Daniels (44:03) shows up in the BF Goodrich Tires ad!

[@fromthesidelines]

0:00- "RISKO" (featuring Gabe Dell) was actually a pilot for an unsold series CBS passed on {September 11, 1976}. 3:38- Barbara Hale for Amana Radarange. 5:24- Jack Somack. 5:52- Ralph Bell, announcer. 6:22- "Actor Portrayals" 13:05- Dick Beals as "Speedy". 22:38- Karl Weber, announcer. 23:08- Mason Adams, announcer. 29:10- Robert Rockwell; Allen Swift, announcer. 30:11- Paul Reed is "Mr. Edwards". 31:08- Dan Resin. 42:40- Alexander Scourby, announcer. 51:19- Leonard Stone as "The Director"; Ralph Bell, announcer.

[@charliejoson9145]

Happy 100th commercial compilation for 70's commercials. It's funny that I also liked watching old 70's American commercials too. In fact, I can't choose between 70's, 80's or 90's commercials. Seeing the Taster's Choice commercial became nostalgic because of the memories of Filipino households having those two unopened coffees being proudly displayed for neighbors and friends to see.

[@jrose-xp6tf]

It was nice seeing Bruce again, he used to run across my cereal box.

[@pamelawinkelmann6229]

Ah, Walter Cronkite. He was so good at delivering the news.

[@doloresmancini105]

Thank you for letting me experience my childhood again. ❤ Keep it up. I always watch old commercials ❤❤❤

[@jgator6694]

I miss the 70’s. And especially miss those days when there were no pharmaceutical commercials (which is practically all you see today. 🙄)

[@TTrigg]

Risko-appropriate name Swanson Hungry-Man Entrees-loved the salisbury steak one(wish they had kept the fries) Skin Bracer by Mennen-"the pimp slap aftershave" 😆 Weldwood Paneling and Siding-also with Steve Allen Ali Vs Norton-Ali proved why he was nicknamed "The Greatest" Nytol-guy eating the hotdog mustve also taken caffeine pills as well Karastan Carpet-ADD..some volume for your microphone Chocolated Ex-Lax-the base for many a prank back then 😁 V-8-think of all the times it helped to cure the pain of smacking one's forehead Scramblers-a favorite of All The King's Men CBS Evening News End Credits-with Morton Dean taking over paper-stacking duties from Walter Cronkite

[@yusakug]

43:55 - Why didn’t he just offer her a ride in his sheepdog van?

[@ClarkieandJoseph]

This was great!! A very happy 100! I remember a lot of these commercials as a kid. There seemed to be a lot of constipation, indigestion, backaches etc in the ‘70’s😉 I wonder if all of the people who facepalmed themselves in the V-8 commercial, needed anacin.☺️ The steel beam commercial @ 33:15 looks like that’s where the Sesame Street “I-Beam” film was made. Thank you for sharing the memories of my childhood😊

[@provost5752]

"Thanks, I needed that".

[@rsdaddy141]

Honestly, Taster's Choice was NOT all that 😅

[@trudimarrapodi6722]

Ways in which these ads provide a window into the past...Note how huge the microwave ovens are. Notice they are actually being used to cook meals from recipes, rather than zap a frozen meal. Why? The clue is in the Swanson "Hungry Man" dinner ad: note the aluminum tray. Frozen dinners in the '70s still came in aluminum trays for the conventional oven and weren't yet being packaged in plastic trays. So people were using these huge, expensive microwaves to actually cook meals from the ground up...even popcorn wasn't packaged for the microwave yet. Yes, all the back medication ads do suggest backaches were really common in the '70s. But maybe it was more like we didn't have Oxycontin yet...which wasn't such a bad thing. Also note that all the medication ads feature medications in bottles with easily openable screw caps...in those days even childproof caps weren't common. But what makes these ads seem so dated today is the absence of tamperproof packaging, which didn't become a thing until after the Tylenol murders in 1982.

[@trudimarrapodi6722]

I meant to add: the Egg Beaters ad is exemplary of the "cholesterol panic" of the '70s. We were made to feel we were risking heart attacks by eating more than 2 eggs a day. These days advisories on this have loosened up considerably. We also know about "good cholesterol" and "bad cholesterol." In the '70s there really wasn't a distinction.

[@moonverine]

I like to drink the Egg Beaters straight from the carton.

[@mikerthinks]

21:48 Polaroid Selfie!

[@betsyr4724]

Wow. Seems like eons ago

[@gilliancampbell6759]

I was born in 1976 so I don’t remember any of these commercials but I love watching them!

[@JJJBRICE]

At 27:46 that sounds like Virginia Gibson . the Discovery lady who in her younger days had supporting roles in movies starring Doris Day , Jane Powell , and Audrey Hepburn . I think she continued to appear in commercials until she was playing grannies .

[@christystott]

Why did everyone have a backache in the 70’s?

[@karagi101]

More physically demanding jobs. That’s why there was less obesity too.

[@alexcordero6672]

I shouldn't have watched this video. I'm 60 and suddenly found myself missing my parents (both recently RIP) terribly. 😑

[@sheriheffner2098]

Believe me Doans Pills did not work.

[@80sCommercialVault]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_salicylate The active ingredient used in them is used as a general pain reliever for joint pain, back pain and headaches. It's a real drug with active effects on the human body for treating pain. However they were charged with violating federal law by the FTC in 1996 for making the claim that the product was superior at providing specific back pain relief over other medications, a claim that wasn't substantiated. www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/1999/05/doans-pills-must-run-corrective-advertising-ftc-ads-claiming-doans-superior-treating-back-pain-were

[@bluray76]

Happy 100 to the 70’s side of this channel. Love watching the 70’s as much as the 80’s. They very soothing on a Sunday morning drinking coffee. Makes me feel comfortable even though I was born in 76. Keep up the great work.

[@maha77]

I love playing this in the background as a putter-about the house, feels so comforting like I'm a kid again and mom is in the kitchen making dinner

[@HiRumblePie]

Oh my god this is amazing. Thanks for the idea. It’s super-little-me at my grandparents’! 😊💗

[@kerrbear1980]

them twistaflex wristwatches were brutal on the arm hairs. cringe just thinking about it

[@robertabray-enhus3198]

I was in high school from 1976 to 1979. I remember most of these commercials! They bring back good memories from those years. When My parents and all of my immediate were still here.❤

[@JamminJ-xe2bd]

Twist o flex watch bands pulled those hairs on your wrist.

[@yusakug]

38:28 - Just remember, if you dare to not wear red, you will be an outcast from the Betty Crocker Test Kitchen…

[@feather031]

That's Erin Grey rolling a gutter ball. Lee J. Cobb (On The Waterfront, 12 Angry Men and Broadway's original Willy Loman) for Commercial Credit.

[@yusakug]

Happy 100 to the 70s! Don’t remember many of these, as I was born in 77, so these volumes are always interesting.

[@elph77]

My mom was 15 when I was born in 77. I watch the 70s commercials to feel closer to my her. She died in 2009.

[@yusakug]

“Ready, aim, cookie” sounds like the title of a dark, edgy Strawberry Shortcake reboot movie.

[@captaineasychord1]

I was 13-14 years old back in 1976, and I pretty much remember all those vintage ads!

[@JerryOrbachFan]

It's the year I was born. I don't feel my age though, but then again how do you feel like a number?

[@djgrimm64]

Me too

[@DanZero77]

100 awesome commercials for Volume 100! These are some early examples from these past 100 volumes and they all hit differently. Maybe it's the film & videotape differences in quality for the time period, also the classic jingles and cholesterol and pain relievers were serious business back then!

[@yusakug]

I would have loved to see the casting call for Mr. Cholesterol, and the actors that turned out for it.

[@feywerfolevado6286]

dude is everyone in the 70’s constipated or something? lol, because I swear I must have seen like 6/7 laxative commercials

[@80sCommercialVault]

This is s compilation of ads that aired only on the CBS Evening News, so we're talking about commercials targeted to an older demographic on a station that has always skewed towards the older side. These don't represent 70's TV commercials as a whole, and are not meant to.

[@feverspell]

Happy 100! Thank you for all the time and hard work that goes into editing and uploading all these videos. We really appreciate it. 😃

[@benjaminyeager6914]

Happy 100!! This might be an even bigger milestone than Vol. 1000 was for the 80s. Once again, this channel is the best thing online; your care and dedication to preserving all of this TV history comes through in every video and is so appreciated.

[@RetroEli82]

Wow, Vol. 100. Quite the milestone, congratulations are in order. I see you split it into 2 parts, can't wait to see the second part. Again congrats

[@buffybrown1619]

Doan’s Pills: magnesium salicylate.

[@EnronnSierra]

That Betty Crocker devils food cake got some kinda way.

[@ZanaB_50]

Happy 100th! I'm a 1975 baby but I was very aware in my toddler years so the 70s commercials trigger my earliest memories of TV watching. Thanks for the memories, 80sCommercialVault!

[@zekeonstormpeak4186]

Nothing like microwave chicken yum yum!!

[@davidpar2]

Haha this was back when they were still trying to pitch microwaves as replacements for regular ovens

[@yusakug]

12:38 - This woman must have more than one husband, with the way she says, “Phil?”

[@breakingdragon22]

I have only one word for this channel “Subscribed” thank you for this. I remember every commercial.

[@ericthiel4053]

Made me want a cool frothy rhinestone encrusted stein of Tuborg Gold.....

[@RepentfollowJesus]

Chocolate ex lax was NASTY. I mean, NASTYYY. Alka seltzer was bad too. Cinnamon Lavoris was the best. I had forgotten Anacin. My grandma was still perking coffee on the stove. They had some pretty cars .

[@fmphotooffice5513]

Percolated coffee was burnt coffee. That's why instant was a real option and Mr Coffee was a revelation, the first practical dripper- built like a tinkertoy. Later came the minimum standards waaay better than the 70s stuff. Enter Gevalia, etc. ...and like heroin- Starbucks. My option: GRIND YOUR OWN BEANS AND USE "SWEET" WATER, LIKE BOTTLED "SPRING" WATER. My current favorite is San Francisco Coffee "Fog Chaser". Try it. You'll never go back to Starbucks.

[@buffybrown1619]

Percolated coffee was not always burned coffee. I still have a stove top and electric percolaters. I use them when I want a really good, full-bodied cup of coffee. We use a Bialette, but the coffee is too strong. The pod coffees are not good at all. My favorite has always been the Bunn drip coffee maker. I lived off Bunn drip coffee for most of my life.

[@buffybrown1619]

OK, the Radio Shack commercial for eight track tapes; if only I had known, I would avoid the expenditures for eight track. They were the worst tapes because they often were caught in the playing device and you’d be pulling out entangled tape for an hour. Then we got cassettes which were not much better. Then we had CDs and realized the sound had been bastardized, so now I am back to vinyl. Oh, and my vinyl is the original stuff. It was boxed in a closet, but now I fully appreciate the nuanced sound. Listen to the White Album on vinyl with headphones and tell me your life hasn't changed.
