70's Commercials Vol. 95

[@stratoplayer1988]

The Banjo Cats aren't just the peak of this channel; but the peak of society as a whole! We need more Banjo Cats!

[@iscariot666]

70s commercials are the best! Thank you!

Stove Top Stuffing- Compared to what the packaging of this product looks like nowadays, this package design from the 70’s looks very fancy with the table setting like that. Johnson’s Baby Shampoo- I can’t help but to notice that the man and the woman in this commercial look like they’re both wearing wigs, advertising a baby shampoo that adults can use. Little Friskies- Despite how awkward it looks for cats to play banjos like that, I find it has a nice amount of charm and cuteness.

70's Commercials Vol 100 is almost there 🎉 😊😊 I love watching most of American commercials of the 70's (and 80's....and some 90's specifically the ads about the [syndicated] sitcoms I grew up with)

[@yusakug]

11:34 - I kind of now want to see a recreation of the "Dueling banjos" scene from Deliverance performed by cats...

[@yusakug]

3:21 - "Hey, get out of our way! Can't you see we're shilling for Burger King here??"

[@shenloken2]

11:34 - For those like me who saw the thumbnail and wanted to immediately see “cats playing banjos!” XD

[@dawnjensen5615]

Yes! I love cats.

[@bluetwinkiesaregood]

Cats playing banjos 🪕! How cute! 😊

[@keysnlemons7756]

These commercials are so peaceful

[@DreamDancer82]

11:34 Kitties playing banjos? Ummm . . . . . YES PLEASE!

[@Aeravon]

13:35 - The Lays commercial is narrated by Jean Shepherd, narrator and co-producer of A Christmas Story.

[@EricNTammy304]

The Columbo episode, "How to Dial a Murder" followed immediately by Dick Van Dyke selling cameras! D.V.D. played a professional photographer who commits a double murder on an earlier episode. For what it's worth 😊

[@troodon311]

Man, you beat me to pointing out that piece of trivia!

[@gspendlove]

Arguably the best ending of any Columbo episode ever. Columbo really got him, and it was soooooo satisfying.

[@legoman-bm2fy]

Sears had some of the best products

[@yusakug]

10:10 - "Life Garrett"?

[@DanZero77]

Have you ever thought about the kinship between THE THREADS OF LIFE?! That's how we start. Then we go up with the Peter Graves ad and then we've reached PEAK 80s CV with the BANJO CATS which I'm sure will be referenced for years to come in future volumes! Amazing!

[@kitw76]

Wow Lifeline one of the true original reality tv shows

[@oldradiosnphonographs]

Just bought a 1972 U-Matic VO-1600 and a 1977 Quasar Great Time Machine VR1000! Here’s to finding 70s and early 80s content! 🍻

[@blinkereye123]

I always thought Karl Malden made the perfect TV detective. Too bad they saddled him with that Douglas kid 😊.

[@MSP10julia]

Tom Brokaw hosting The Today Show before NBC Nightly News

[@TTrigg]

Fritos-a while before the Chili Cheese flavor @2:02-maybe this was a trailer for a new horror movie set in a bakery..?😆 WSB Action News Bumper-i say they put the prison there America Works Best Together-next on Mission Impossible, Phelps goes undercover at Colonial Williamsburg Stove Top Stuffing-his mother seeing this commercial:"Oh,is THAT right..." Peter Lundy & The Medicine Hat Stallion-starring Leif Garrett's twin brother Life Lysol Disinfectant-"FIND it..before you get banished to the cornfield." Breakout-good film Lay's Bar-B-Q Potato Chips-not a good idea to place the bag on a hot grill Lifeline-the three doctors mentioned could've created the LCU(Lifeline Cinematic Universe) American Heart Association-now would be a good time to put that cigarette down Eyes Of Laura Mars-another good film..poster always creeped me out

[@gspendlove]

You know, I bought Eyes of Laura Mars in a 3-Disc set with two other flicks: I'm gonna have to sit down and watch it. I've never seen it.

[@cindypruitt9534]

Cool ,these were from Atlanta, always looking for old commercials from when I was a kid.😀

[@80sCommercialVault]

Starting next year I will be posting *many* volumes recorded from WXIA in Atlanta in 1980. Stay tuned!

[@cindypruitt9534]

Thanks so much , I can't wait.@@80sCommercialVault

[@yusakug]

4:11 - After wiping the guy's mouth, the guy's eyes just say it all. "Where have I gone wrong in my life that I must now stand next to this wealthy bozo in a Wendy's, watching him eat, and dabbing his mouth for him..."

[@BELCAN57]

12:34 Pat Summerall for Primatine Mist. He was a legendary sports broadcaster along with John Madden.

0:30--What ever happened to Wella Balsam shampoo? 0:59--My 2nd favorite Fritos jingle (my favorite can be found at 70's Commercials Vol. 26). The Muncha Buncha jingle is based on an old song called "The Aba Daba Honeymoon." 1:29--My parents used Desitin on my siblings and me when we were little. 3:00--Catchy jingle for Burger King,. 4:08--I thought Wendy's Frosty only came in chocolate back then, but I could be wrong. 5:14--This must have been near (or even a bit after) the end of Columbo's original run, until ABC revived it with new episodes in the late 80's. As of 2023, it is rerunning on Cozi TV, a retro network available over the air in many parts of the country. 5:21--As a Beach Boys fan, I love the use of their hit "Fun, Fun, Fun" as a Kodak jingle. 6:22--Aim toothpaste is still around, now as a budget brand with minimal advertising. 6:52--I grew up with cats, and we always used Hartz 2-in-1 flea/tick collars on them. 8:22--"Stove Top stuffing instead of potatoes" is an iconic advertising catchphrase of the 70's and 80's. 8:52--Although no longer branded as a Clairol product, Herbal Essence shampoo is still around. Although it is marketed primarily towards women, I admit to sometimes using it myself. 9:22--"Plop plop, fizz fizz; oh, what a relief it is!" Another iconic slogan/jingle of the day. 10/20--I wonder why they had an election for a congressional seat in August? 11:34--Although "Ain't We Got Fun" is probably best known as a Carnival Cruise jingle, I like it even better (complete with banjos) as a cat food jingle. 13:34--I think Lay's Bar-B-Q was one of the first flavored potato chips. 16:11--Great commercial for Steak and Ale.

[@StudioZ7]

12:29--FIND IT! NOW!!!

[@DanZero77]

Also WSB-TV would become an ABC affiliate in 1980!

[@StudioZ7]

So many NBC affiliates defected to ABC around that time.
