Beverly Hillbillies - Cast Ad #01 - Winston Cigarettes

After a 'dandy trip', Mr. Drysdale introduces Jed to the pleasures of a Winston cigarette, white-thing-and-all.

[@berserkley]

What do you want to bet Drysdale is heavily invested in RJ Reynolds stock?

[@Frizz9000]

This commercial is awesome!

[@rev.markcarrier1894]

I smoked Winston 100’s, two packs a day, in my teens and twenties. 50 cents a pack in those days. I loved every drag, but I got tired of being a slave. Cold turkey. Almost the hardest thing I ever did.

[@philvaclavik6890]

Quit cold turkey 31 ago and never looked back.

[@SolarStarGacha]

@@philvaclavik6890 good job dude your lungs love it now

[@senti7965]

What is cold turkey?

[@wildkeith]

@@senti7965 When you stop all at once instead of weaning slowly off.

[@joelalexander5338]

Not only tastes good like a cigarette should, but is good for you in almost every respect.

[@russellmakar579]

when I started smoking I was 12 and they cost 25 cents a pack,,I quit about 18 yrs. ago, wasn't easy but I found that breathing was a better option.

[@BenVanAmburg]

Winners never quit. I'm a winner dammit!! ugh i need a cig. quitting sucks

[@frankdenardo8684]

Russell Makar I agree.

[@Keithbarber]

@@BenVanAmburg no quitting does not suck - smoking does as you have to suck in air to breathe in the smoke

[@MaynardFreek]

@@Keithbarber we all bow down to your superior highness

[@ryhz1216]

you were 12 in the 1950's?

[@scifiwriter9541]

It's obvious that Buddy Ebsen didn't inhale. He was a non-smoker. Funny that he would even be doing a cigarette commercial.

[@philvaclavik6890]

They paid well

[@robertshubitowski1984]

Buddy was the Bill Clinton of Winston cigarettes.

[@2twostrokes]

And lived until he was 95 because of it.

[@handinside]

We hope you'll enjoy Winstoms-- At the cancer ICU at your local hospital!

[@jimmydeanpatterson1422]

And be ready to be hooked up to an iron lung.

[@Matt92Machine]

Imagine kids watching this show, and they say "I hope you'll try these cigarettes". No wonder so many people died of lung cancer from this era.

[@fromthesidelines]

R.J. Reynolds co-sponsored the series from 1962 through '67. In the earlier seasons, the cast appeared in an "integrated commercial" for the sponsor's product at the end of the episode. They also pitched Kellogg's Corn Flakes on the weeks Kellogg's was the primary sponsor.

[@bobbylee2853]

Max Baer didn’t smoke and is the last survivor.

[@trwent]

Yeah, I remember Jethro would eat a HUGE bowlful of corn flakes with a full quart of milk!!

[@alansimpson8962]

Granny was the real smoker in that show 3 packs a day around there I mean she didn't look that old for nothing

[@coppingtonfarnham7731]

My 56-year-old sister-in-law smokes, and she looks like Granny. She used to drink (had to go to rehab to dry out) and seems to be smoking less, but the damage is done.

[@misharyutubbee]

In "Breakfast at Tiffanies" Jed smokes unfiltered cigarettes.

[@OldsVistaCruiser]

Buddy Ebsen (1908-2003) lived to be 95 years old!

[@coppingtonfarnham7731]

Great actor....pretended like he was smoking and liking it.

[@ushoys]

Yes but then he didn’t smoke; he only encouraged others to for money.

[@jimmydeanpatterson1422]

He was a smoker.

[@trwent]

Well he WAS smoking. Whether he liked it or not, we will never know.

[@JimzAuto]

1:06 two flashed images- subliminal advertising?

[@dangraphic]

You can tell he REALLY enjoyed it.

[@jimmypatterson9472]

Dan Bolivar yeah Jed loves to smoke. It's obvious.

[@JohnSmith-wd9rc]

As I recall, Buddy Ebson did not smoke. He had to really act to get thru that commercial.

[@JJJBRICE]

These integrated commercials seem strange now but back then they seemed as normal as prescription drug commercials are now .The actors in those days did the sponsor commercials either in their characters as this example or as their real selves typically on the set after a shot scene . I remember Andy Griffith pitching Sanka coffee in the court house . And Don Knotts pitching Gaines dog food by a backyard doghouse , Not to mention Garry Moore smoking Winston after Winston all during I'VE GOT A SECRET in the 1950s with the Winston logo displayed on both his moderators desk and the panels desk all during the show . There was little doubt who was paying the bills on this show ! I think by 1966 TV networks, particularly ABC , the poor network , had gone away from primary sponsors or even alternating sponsors to participating sponsors who have no direct connection to a certain program . That's the system we have place today .

[@inkey2]

any real smoker can tell Buddy Ebsen was not a smoker....he isnt even inhaling. Ebsen lived to be pretty old. No way he lived that long huff'in cigarettes

[@jimmypatterson3998]

He was a smoker.

[@josephpowelliii9169]

Damn tobacco companies are murderers.

[@Youngstown529]

Later, Mr. Drysdale got Jed hooked on cocaine.

[@jimmypatterson3998]

Yeah, his fortune got snorted right up his nose.

[@MBSChynna]

the Fortune Tobacco Corporation was formely related to R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., Winston-Salem NC, U.S.A., and in 2002, now related to JT International makers of Winston, Camel & Salem cigarettes.

[@lancebowley4986]

hmmm I like it! Human cigarettes!

[@inkey2]

to mastermonarch: traditionally cigar smokers do not "inhale". I once heard an interview where Burns said he took up cigar smoking as a "prop"....to have something in his hands on stage

[@mastermonarch]

its true Buddy Ebson wasnt a smoker or a drinker but keep in mind George burns smoked cigars and drank brandy for years and lived to 100 it only proves you dont die til its your time no matter how good you live

[@explorermike19]

Don't be fooled by the smokers who lived. I know lots of people who died from cigarettes, my own father included. If you don't believe the science, believe your common sense.

[@lilajagears8317]

Of course Buddy Ebson doesnt inhale, because he didnt smoke. Irene Ryan on the other was a chain smoker most of her adult life.

[@VoIPPortland]

Thinking about starting smoking after seeing this. The dangers are probably overblown.

[@stevedyches4635]

As with all things moderation is key.

[@cymbolichuman433]

Wait .... I saw Jed give some to Granny....

[@keithwald5349]

Smooth and refreshing, and with added health benefits because of the doctor-recommended filter!

[@ralphseewald4069]

Characters Granny and Aunt Pearl Bodine we're heavy smokers in real life

[@jimmypatterson3998]

That's how they both died.

[@larryaldrich4351]

As a legal product these commercials are covered by the 1st Amendment.

[@fairfaxcat1312]

Duke University down in Tobacco Row was built on R.J. Reynolds tobacco.

[@elc1960]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllll doggies! Granny, let's you & me go out to the Cee-ment pond and light up one of these here Winstons!

[@jimmypatterson3998]

Well doggy. Jed and Granny are going to get lung cancer.

[@kc4cvh]

I'm going down by the lake and smoke some crawdads. But first, I need a little pot.

[@MrSonofsonof]

I stopped smoking nearly twenty years ago, but now I'm definitely going to start smoking Winston cigarettes. Advertising is so evil and powerful! .

[@lloydkline7245]

I love the tv actors in commercials

[@kkknotcool]

There is an inverse relationship between the power of advertising and the culpability of the consumer. In other words, look to harm yourself and see it happen. Blaming advertising for that fault in yourself is unhealthy.

[@unclefestus]

Except for Chuck Norris, which is a whole different story.

[@MikeBarbarossa]

@49bobbyk they had Filntstone Winston ads. Sure you wanna go back to the good ol days?

[@alansimpson8962]

Yeaa i.knew somebody who smoked Winston and he finnally quit after bypass surgery and when he got throat cancer he quit and died off that was long time ago but who knows about cigarettes

[@megdome]

He lived into his 90s

[@Keithbarber]

@Joe Turner maybe not from cancer, but copd, heart attacks, other lung diseases etc etc, from a lifetime of shit

[@jimmypatterson3998]

He was a smoker.

[@Keithbarber]

@@jimmypatterson3998 but If he quit by a certain age.......

[@minecraftpufferfish9066]

almost forgot to watch this today

[@dawngregory6549]

Smoke em if you got em. Spark up that butt, make a cloud of smoke No one will choke, go have your smoke I won't joke , Flicking the cig see how far if your lucky you may hit a car if not maybe it will go to far. Parking lot's are the best for dumping butts out the car getting smelly butts into the lot I need to move my car it stinks I must go far now I.i can make more butts the room is back in the car stomping out my cigarettes in or out the car For me time to dump let me park my car I'm not going far butts must go from the car and who cares close or far I know after ill be in the bar smoking more I need that tar without it me not going far

[@JJJBRICE]

The integrated commercials while they are fun to see required extra work for cast and crew. They had to written, rehearsed and filmed in addition to show itself . The folks now a days do not have to be concerned about this extra load . Think about that while you see Harriet Nelson recite the virtues of a Kodak Brownie camera from 1957 .

[@culturalconfederacy782]

Best way to smoke tobacco: out of a corncob pipe. Nothing like good ole fashion burley paired with a cup of coffee.

[@toriElena]

@reymatt76 hahahaa! good comeback! yep, ex-president or not, bill clinton is just another "good ole boy"

[@waysav]

Seems hokey today, but you have to admit the acting is pretty good.

[@fairfaxcat1312]

Winston tastes good like a cigarette should.

[@mralmeister1]

@mastermonarch thank you. Nice to see someone with some sense other than "holier than thou."

[@chesucat]

Smokem' if ye gottem!

[@add275]

be sure Winston tastes good, like a cigarette should!

[@InsomniacGirl]

It was Marlboros for me, LOL

[@knightclassic1]

What about Kools?

[@franktheo2055]

Teraton cigarettes I'd rather fight than switch ! Oh boy the 1960's - The 1980'sif you want play a memory you'll find right here on You Tube. All I know is Granny is doing some good smoking with that corn cobb pipe of hers'. Growing up in the 1960's & 1970's smoking was part of the social scene and in vogue. I used to be a chain smoker from 15 years of age up until I went cold turkey and quit smoking when I was 22 years old I hit a double playing soft ball I got to second base and I started coughing up brown mucus and blood around 1981 and said to my self I feel like I'm a 90 old man and decided to quit. It was a fun time growing up going out to clubs and bars drinking & smoking hooking up with some girls - I had friends making bar bets on me that I wouldn't last, but I never smoked ever since. It was a tough habit to kick and I'm glade I did..... Just for the record {WELL DOGGY! } Mr. Drysdale & Jed Clampett ROCK !!!!!!

[@sawomirmajak7310]

FREE ITENS!!!!!

[@slightlymentholated]

that's HOT

[@richiejr8756]

😤💨🚬

[@inkey2]

Interesting side note: my late father never smoked....he lived to be 83 years old.....his sister smoked like a chimney....she lived to be 83 years old....go figure

[@frankdenardo8684]

inkey2 wow. my grandfather smoked Salem cigarettes until the late 1970's. he lived to be 84. he passed away in 2003.

[@cabbageguy6243]

And my grandfather smoked 5 packs a day, died at 57. His father, my great grandfather, never smoked in his life, and died at 98. Sure, it doesn't guaruntee you'll die sooner, but why take the risk?

[@kkknotcool]

I mean women live 4 or 5 years longer so your dad actually outlived your sister.

[@inkey2]

@@kkknotcool possibly....lucky he made it to any age. He was loaded with ww2 shell fragments they couldn't safely remove.

[@jimmypatterson3998]

Some smokers are lucky, some are not.

[@lysergicdancing]

Not much different than today,but unlike the hazards of smoking that have put old "ciggy" out to pasture,today you can't see a movie or a video that doesn't have products in the forefront.Isn't capitalism grand......suckers.
