I have 900 cable channels....and im watching 70s commercials. 😂

[@Kritiker313]

Those were the days when pharmaceutical companies didn't own every single commercial time slot.

[@wb3381]

I miss the toy commercials

[@ginadisbrow9324]

Or a law firm!😂

[@rubyrudy]

Bank then the pharmaceutical companies could only advertise over the counter medication to regular consumers.

[@jat6547]

RIGHT. It's sickening -

Says a lot about today’s shows that I’d rather watch commercials from my teen years.

In the 70s everyone knew Morris the Cat.

Bought Leggs in the eggs until 2000's...😮

Same here! They no longer make a color to match my skin. I guess they think everyone is dark at Leggs company. I called and asked could I find the sun tan color of the 70's.

Still looking. I feel that this modern world is closing in on me! Stop this insanity...i want to get off...this bus to no where. People are doing everything that we did walking to or driving to over their phones. What happened to shopping for food and cooking. I like to know every ingredient that i am eating.

[@toniquinn9270]

I absolutely love love love the 70s commercials! I am totally blind, and I get much more out of commercials like these than I could ever get out of more modern commercials of today. Commercials back in the day easy to understand and that’s why they were so great and successful. 2:00 2:07 2:16 2:30

[@BenFoldsFan421]

Excellently put… I am legally blind and a lot of stuff today. Just seems like a bunch of really super confusing. Frustrating noise…. I grew up in the 80s and yes, commercials were way more straightforward and what they are trying to advertise and they seem to be today… It’s kind of like reading a book before you get to go see the movie of the book… You already have an idea of what’s going on… I think that’s preferable to just going to some movie that doesn’t have any book related to it although lots of things that are coming out these days have audio description and that makes things really interesting but yeah, I agree with you about older commercials much easier to sort out what’s going on and what they’re trying to advertise

[@wb3381]

Such a laid back Era

[@gloriaortiz1227]

It was laid back cause you were young

[@wb3381]

@gloriaortiz1227 Not perfect, but most people had a code of conduct. However, now all that has been flush down the toilet with glorified stupidity
