70's Commercials Vol. 9

[@timothysprengeler4071]

4:13--"Savings and loans" and "FSLIC"--those are pretty much things of the past nowadays.

[@timothysprengeler4071]

6:02--"Everything you've always wanted in a beer--and less." It's amazing how I remember that Miller Lite slogan so well even though I was 16 years to young to legally drink the stuff in 1976!

[@RickJohnson]

11 months old when this came out. Great flashback to how my parents would have watched TV then though! Also "amazing" that the Skoal commercial had zero warnings. Sign of the times.

[@JL-sm6cg]

Yeah, they didn't warn you you'd have to have half of your mouth removed surgically from your body, so you'd really suffer before you eventually died. At least smoking only gave you lung cancer, then you died shortly afterwards almost painless.

[@traceymallard]

the seventies was and still is the best decade to ever have grown up in! no other time in history will ever compare and thats why a lot of people are in the closet about how important this time period was despite the drugs and other problems that got worse past the eighties, i still agree that the seventies is and was too important to forget and everyday i live it and i wear it and i watch it on t.v.. I grew up in that era and i still wear the clothes then , but im a petite enough to still do it

[@80sCommercialVault]

@danny75461 It's a copy of a network master tape...probably recorded on to Betamax or VHS.

[@Vonbruno63]

My first car was a used 1977 Ford Granada Ghia.....red on red....small V9.....had it all the way until I went in the Air Force in 1986.

[@1a2b3c4dx1]

Thanks for posting, I recall the introduction to Monday Night Football distinctly, as well as the RCA colortrak ad, and the smokeless tobacco ad, even though many years have passed.

[@berto1169]

Exxon: v/o by the legendary Peter Thomas. Still hear his voice on TV shows even today.

[@Prionic77]

It's difficult to tell for sure but that looks like Rick Hurst ("Cletus Hogg") as the gas station attendant in the Exxon self serve commercial.

[@HamptonRoadsTVFan]

That BankAmericard spot had to be one of the last ones before the adoption of the Visa name.

[@samidellaidella532]

0:17, I thought it was going to be The Spam Celebrity Tic Tac toe invitational or maybe Tic Tac Toe with the stars LOL. At least there were no " Kardashians" to have to watch on each one of those specials (although we did have Bruce Jenner...back when he was ...well never mind!). Thanks for all of your Time and Effort in uploading these and giving us '70's children a taste of nostalgia.

[@Snagman67]

I Totally want that TV! Love retro stuff! I wasn't quite 4 months old yet when these commercials aired.

[@11vlyleven]

Surely that was Cheryl Ladd in the Ford Thunderbird ad, no?

[@readytogo6569]

HAHAHA Love your comment about “S-Mart”! Wonder how many even know the reference... Loved Evil Dead!! ❣️❤️

[@Rexmillian]

The Exxon commercial has the guy from Dukes of Hazzard (Cletus?) The guy that played Boss Hogg's cousin or something as a deputy. Just noticed in the description, assume that is Dee Wallace, haven't checked IMDB yet. Boy are these a blast from the past, I remember a lot of these when they were actually airing.

[@usa02]

That is the late Danny Dark v/o the Ford Thunderbird Commercial and the late Ernie Anderson v/o the RCA Colortrak Ad.

[@johnlovesbridge]

That looks like Dee Wallace in the Exxon commercial.

[@skystarless]

Oh God, my parents had a forest green Thunderbird just like that when I was a kid. LOL at them describing it as "slimmer".

[@monkfan72]

I was 4 years old when these commercials aired.

[@TERRORKLOWNS]

i was 3 when these came out, wow..

[@heybulldog98]

Happy late new year 1977 :)

[@joeysixtysix]

Those old Granadas were decent cars but the commercials about confusing them with a Cadillac or Mercedes were awful lol.

[@japanjack62]

New Jersey and Oregon have the right idea. i miss full service gasoline stations and the sound of the air hose as you drove over it

[@gli7utubeo]

At 6:38 The guy pumps his gas with the gas tank not facing the pump. They don't let you do that these days (probably a good idea). It's hard to believe they encouraged it in the Exxon commercial.

[@woody8744]

that was tom selleck in the groomer ad!

[@darkpoet0919]

sure miss the days of full service

[@ilovethetampabaylightning92]

Man,I was only 6 months old!

[@liteskinnededgal]

LMAO @ the shavemaster guy at the end.

[@Dablkwid0w2008]

TBird and those 70 burnt orange velor seats loool

[@TERRORKLOWNS]

5, 000 bucks for a brand new car? wow,

[@timothysprengeler4071]

Three years ago I paid almost 3 times that much for a then-6-year-old car.

[@Itstherantman]

hee hee, I was almost 2 yo and my fiance was barely 2 months old when these commercials came out.

[@m3trooper]

Ahh, I miss Monday Night Football on ABC!! It was such an EVENT! The new MNF on ESPN just isn't the same.

[@silverose1209]

Interesting.. selling self service as a benefit. :) Just the beginning...

[@CletusHunnicutt]

Dee Wallace (E.T. mom) in the Exxon commercial?

[@RDArtist81]

Howard Cosell, Frank Gifford, and John C. Reilly?

[@DieMasterMonkey]

04:46 so gangsta

[@DanaTheInsane]

I remember American Made televisions.

[@CarlD2]

I didn't realize Samantha Eggar was famous enough in the US to headline commercials. I like the ABC sports logos of this era. Who is doing the voiceover in the shower massage commercial? That Grenada ad is great.

[@tamumalone6468]

That guy at the end tho LMFAO

[@tdrewman]

Funny, I see the intro to MNF, Oakland playing, almost 35 years to the day, Today I just saw the Miami Dolphins play and whip Oakland.

[@DanZero77]

Panties & Sausage! Thats right, shop smark, shop ESMARK! Finally! The flying car we were promised!

[@micahnewman]

Wait, these commercials didn't air during MNF, did they?

[@80sCommercialVault]

Did you even watch the video?

[@danny75461]

was this originally recorded on Vhs

[@blugreen123]

That Sunbeam Groomer looks pretty bad-ass. Skoal...mouth cancer...yummy Bank Americard had the best jingle ever!

[@benfrombelow]

I was negative 2 years and 3 months!

[@Jean0987654321]

@m3trooper This

[@mst3kanita]

That groomer is insane.

[@holbrooke7]

Ah, that United Airlines passenger makes the whole airplane experience seem so easy-breezy. What happened? ......Oh yeah, that's right. Do people still use chewing tobacco? The last person I knew who used that stuff was my grandpa. That stuff is gross.

[@LilCosgrove]

Holly Brooke Five years later, this comment is even more disturbingly accurate...

[@tamumalone6468]

Eww chewing tobacco

[@80sCommercialVault]

The stuff advertised here is actually not chewing tobacco: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipping_tobacco

[@JL-sm6cg]

I don't smoke, but I prefer something that'll make me lose half my mouth before I die.

[@glamourgirl2123]

Monday Night Football the way it oughtta be... on ABC (rather than on now-sister network ESPN as it is today)...
