70's Commercials Vol. 48

[@duncandmcgrath6290]

The smile from Cheryl Ladd still knocks me out .

[@Lurker1979]

I am amazed at the quality of the video and audio. Considering how old the tapes would be by now.

I remember the JcPenney's Auto Center. They sold the autocenter to Firestone back in 83. I use to work at JCP in the early 90s. There was a Battery that JCP sold that had a lifetime warranty, they were still coming to the store in 93 to get a credit for a new battery, they would give them voucher, they are stilling doing it to this day...

[@MaryS2022]

Thank you for uploading these. I am looking forward to the next commercial compilation.

3:30--Pizza Hut was better back then. Just seeing this commercial makes me hungry for the Pizza Hut pizza of my youth! 6:51--I believe Sha Na Na performed a retro set at the original Woodstock festival in 1969. Then in the 1970's they had their own TV show which brought back the great music of the early rock and roll era. 8:37--I don't remember J.C. Penney Auto Centers, although I do recall that they sold electronics back then. Maybe only certain Penney's stores had the auto centers. 9:06--Certs were my "go-to" brand of breath mints for years, but I can't seem to find them in my area anymore.

I never watched Midnight Express, but I know that I loved the theme song. The NWA tag champions, The Midnight Express used the movie's theme as their entrance music.

I love the jingles! They hardly have jingles anymore in this day and age. With the exception of Coca-Cola.

[@Silly81]

I miss jingles, there’s not a lot of that anymore.

[@timothysprengeler4071]

Agreed; it's one reason why the 1970's and 80's were the golden age of TV commercials IMHO.

[@riceboy1701e]

Best one EVER. ALL of the ones I remember!

[@MitchellHang]

Exactly 40 years ago!

[@VelvetCyberpunk]

This was 4 days after my 10th birthday. I remember all of this stuff.

[@VelvetCyberpunk]

And yes this was published 4 days after my 50th birthday. I'm old.

[@JohnnyUtah15]

It was 3 weeks after my 11th birthday. We're up there. Happy birthday by the way.

[@wmbrown6]

The local booth V/O was Bill Rippe. "Sha Na Na" promo was V/O'd by Vic Roby. Oh, and now that you mention it, Doug "Cosmo" Clifford did look a bit like Mr. Henson . . .

[@DanZero77]

Just like the jingle said, I really never heard of King Karol and I was from the New York area! I had no idea Circus was around in the 70s, my friends got the magazine during the grunge years and they always featured Nirvana in some way.

[@JohnnyUtah15]

09:37 -- Paul Dooley, precursor to "Sixteen Candles" Well remember these commercials.

[@yusakug]

10:07 - At first I thought this was an ad for Tombstone Pizza.

[@hrtvfan2870]

Maybe that's where the Tombstone ad guys got the idea from.

[@80sCommercialVault]

The French commonly used firing squads in the foreign legion ca. WWI as a method of executing prisoners or deserters. It's a common trope used in popular culture, as is the idea of granting a prisoner a "last request".

[@miketroncin749]

10:13 - Is that Gino Conforti ( Felipe the assistant Chef in Three's Company)?

[@mrmonty86]

A young David Garrison looks like a young Mr. Bean lol.

[@RobCamp-rmc_0]

“Don’t Blame Desenex.” Welp, I’m convinced. I guess.

[@elineff2791]

Bowser is kind of scary at least he was when I was a kid especially after he did his pose

[@chrislang9442]

- Wasn’t “Feelings” a joke by the time ‘78 came around? - 10:07 Looks like the same actor who occasionally played Felipe on “Three’s Company” - 10:49 He attempted to sing too kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWPPhYmdec-Dia8:

[@TTrigg]

Midnight Express-glad i never planned to vacation in Istanbul Mercury Capri-wonder how long did that relationship with the mermaid last Pizza Hut-i would have added"More anchovies!" lol Top Job-Mrs."Gore Ya Neck"..husband better not cheat XD A Wedding-which looks like it never shouldve taken place

[@BillSeipel]

"I have thew new ad copy guys. It's gonna talk about how clean or dirty mouths are and then we'll cut to a glass of dark green stuff and we'll baste a white thing and break it in half to show how it penetrates teeth."

[@BillSeipel]

"Oh and guys? Teeth are made of chalk, right?"

[@timothysprengeler4071]

1:59--I remember those Colgate commercials with the chalk demonstration very well--and this one has the added bonus of a catchy jingle.

[@yusakug]

4:42 - "I'm from Missouri, and you'll have to show me"...I don't get this. What does her being from Missouri have to do with anything? Are they experts in greasy kitchen dirt over there?

[@80sCommercialVault]

Missouri is known as the "Show-Me" State

[@miketroncin749]

It used to be on their license plates

[@timothysprengeler4071]

Didn't a U.S. President (or some prominent politician) say that back in the 19th century? I heard that was how Missouri acquired that nickname.

[@hurricanesteve65]

@@80sCommercialVault I learned that watching "Outlaw Josey Wales"
