"Mr. Clean" brings back a funny memory from when I was very young, back in the 1950s. I absolutely could not distinguish between President Eisenhower and the "Mr. Clean" man. My parents told me that Eisenhower would come on TV, and I'd run to the cabinet under the kitchen sink and get the Mr. Clean and exclaim, "Look: he's right here!" OK: so I was five years old at the time. At least I knew who the President was, and he could clean up ANY mess! ;-)

[@bryanagensinger2564]

THIS IS HILLARIOUS!

[@charlesendres1544]

Came to the U.S. as an immigrant over 65 years ago and learned English watching TV and singing along with most of these terrific jingles. Was surprised that I can still remember most of these. Thanks for the memories.

[@Sunset553]

The Texaco commercial just brought back memories of gas station attendants coming to the car, checking the oil, cleaning the windows while the gas was pumping. They worked so hard. It was weird for me when I started driving years later. The guy working at the gas station wouldn’t even show me how to pump gas the first time I needed to.

[@bobbamford5207]

They made money because it had value then A Coke was a nickle.

[@bobbamford5207]

I pumped Gas in 1970. Regular was 28 cents Hi test was 32 cents. My how times have changed. Money has little value now. Our Economy has been Gutted.

Love to hear Dinah sing "and see it in your Chevrolet." She is great here.

[@heterosectional]

They are making Chevys danged near bulletproof today equal to Buicks!

[@WSenator1]

I remember hearing Dinah's singing this jingle when I was a boy. Question: What happen to her blowing a kiss to the audience (MU-WAH!)

[@quentinkirk3870]

Was Dinah The 1950's Actress who People said she was A light Skinned Black woman passing for White?

[@deborahmichalak8991]

I planned on Seeing the USA in my Chevrolet, but at 71, i just drive to Indiana once a year (I have a Chevy Equinox now) to visit college friends, and that is good for me!!

Same. Came here to see if I could find the Salerno butter cookie jingle. Telling the wife about it the other day she had never heard it.

Oh Dinah, you made Life " Completer " ! I remember her singing these commercials back in the day as she plugged Chevys during breaks in her show. She had class !

[@johnphillips8737]

Do You believe my grandpa fell in with Dinah in the 50's. Watching him in that 50's TV

[@TheWick53]

I am an old man, so of course I loved this. Thank you for showing it.

[@1good2go]

Loved these old commercials. We got our first tv in the mid 50s, and I was glued to it from after dinner until bedtime!

[@wakaran1993]

That Mr. Clean beat really got me. Also dang, hes been around that long, I had no idea.

[@celestecristal852]

I'm a 90s girl but I really wish commercials would go back to this :)

[@douglasjarnagan3835]

1:54 If this went onto TV today, Twitter would blow up and Frito would be forced to issue a huge apology.

[@jenniferrogers2492]

It actually was removed from the air in the 60s because of complaints about ethnic stereotypes.

[@armorybrunotjr.3204]

The Frito Bandito started in 1967 and was retired in 1971,and this was due to sterotypes over Latinos, especially Mexican-Americans.

[@MaracoOfficial]

I don't mind this, i think it's a bit wholesome.

[@lushsky]

@@flowertrue that's because it is, Mel Blanc provided the voice of the frito bandito.

I was a teenager in the 1970's and at university in the 1980's so the beauty ads of that time period brings me back to my youth.

[@lalaland962]

I was five years old when this commercial ran. I was sitting here today, watching a movie and I started singing the song! I had to see if it was online, and lo and behold, here it is!

[@Jlouiseduffy]

I enjoyed this - it was a blast from the past! Many of these commercials were quite clever and creative. And they certainly were catchy - I sang along with many of them although I hadn't seen them for close to 50 years! Thanks for compiling!

[@tsunamicharly]

Love this compilation. I remember most of these ads from my childhood and later, and it was with great fondness I watched them again. Briefly I was young again and so was the world. Thanks for posting.

[@tmann9090]

That's the wau I remember it

[@TheCatgirl6]

Okay, I'm going to admit something to you, elc. Promise me you won't freak out. I was a Bobby Sherman fan, too. I had his Greatest Hits record, and the "Gettin' Together" lp as well. I loved him as the bashful Jeremy on "Here Come The Brides" and I tried to love his series with Wes Stern, "Getting Together" (spun off from a "Partridge Family" episode if I recall) but it didn't take. This was in my adolescent bubblegum phase, circa '69 to approximately '73. There. I said it and I feel better.

[@kookoothebirdgirl1]

I freaked out!

[@CatzShadowz]

I was telling my partner just yesterday that I can quote, sing, and repeat all of the details like the phone number, address, locations, the actors who endorsed and/or usually sang the jingles, etc Yet I don’t clue what the last commercial was about on TV this morning... maybe some things should remain the same? I used to look forward to commercials and watch them to the end. Today’s commercials just annoy me and usually end up driving me away from the products. Thank the gods I can hit the “skip ad” button!

[@andrew5222]

it's just nostalgia. years from now people will say the same thing about ads today. they're all the same: trying to brainwash you into spending your money

[@walterfechter8395]

Snap, Crackle, Pop -- love that Kellogg's ad! Talk about a catchy tune! I remember it well! Man, I must have been around before air.

[@tonyktown]

For whom? Those of us who were around during this time are no longer in the leading demographics, and the people who are wouldn't be remotely interested in this....unless instructed by their favorite "influencers".

One of the best things about Ethel Merman was she very precise with her singing; and when she belted out her songs, she was always on pitch, perfect! The others are as unforgettable, and believe me, seeing these again is a time trip back to a different time and place. A time so vastly different from today.

[@walterfechter8395]

The Flintstone and The Rubbles lighting up Winston cigarettes. Then, there was the Marlboro ad (set to the opening score from The Magnificent Seven).

[@TheCatgirl6]

Ah--okay, I may have seen it once or twice. There's a glimmer of recognition coming back to me. I do remember "Flipper." And "Daktari" I recall because it was one of my grandmother's favorite series, an adventure break from her usual diet of "Peyton Place," westerns, and crime dramas. I used to watch "Daktari" with her from time to time. Wasn't there a "cross-eyed" lion named Clarence..?

[@FigaroHey]

What walks downstairs alone or in pairs and makes a slinkety sound? A spring, a spring , a marvelous thing, everyone loves a slinky. A slinky, a slinky, for fun it's a wonderful toy! A slinky, a slinky, it's fun for a girl and a boy! That's the jingle I remember. I SOOO much wanted a slinky, even though it's just a spring (as someone said below). I just... wanted one! The power of advertising. Then my cousin got one for Christmas. He stood at the top of the stairs holding the slinky and my brother took the other end of the slinky and walked down stairs to see how long it would stretch. It bent when he turned at the the landing, and the Slinky was never the same again. No more walking down stairs (and I'm not sure it even 'walked' downstairs without help in the first place.) I couldn't decide if I was more disappointed that I didn't get to play with it before it got ruined, or disappointed that it was such a dud as a toy.

[@rskissack]

Man oh man oh man...does this bring back memories! It's amazing how some commercials back then had such big production numbers. Thanks very much for posting this!

[@nancyhicksgribble9799]

Haha yep! All I can think of is. "Everyone wants a log, come on and get your log. LOG LOG LOG"

[@rchizzini]

the creativity of the 1950's and 1960's jingles AND commercials were first rate....my all time favorite is the guy who argues with his stomach..,I was 16 when that commercial came out in 1966...I remembered it word for word and was delighted to find it on you tube...sure the tech stuff in this era is impressive, but for the needs of the times and the resources we had in those two decades prove self expression apples to any generation!

That Pepsi commercial is still working after all these years. makes me want a Pepsi like now.

[@brerrabbit77]

That Pepsi song at about 7:30 is nice. I never heard that one before.

[@josephcope7637]

My favorite Rice Krispies commercial was one featuring the character actor Leo Gordon, who played tough guys in a lot of westerns and police shows. He's a cowboy who looks like one you wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of. He walks into a raucus saloon, seats himself at a table and pours himself a bowl of Rice Krispies and milk. Then he shouts out "QUIET! I want to hear the snap crackle pop." The effect was so hilarious I had to laugh out loud.

[@ando1135]

ahhh, i love looking at different time periods. i remember oscar meyer from the 80s and 90s. same jingle :)

[@lloovvaallee]

I remember all of these except the Halo shampoo jingles. I've never heard of Halo shampoo.

[@heterosectional]

Fetched from an old vaudeville song, "Hello, Everybody, Hello."

[@JohnSmith-kz8yo]

In those days some products were regional so unless you lived in that region you didn't see the commercial.

[@CAMacKenzie]

@@JohnSmith-kz8yoHalo was a national brand. Colgate-Palmolive (HQ in New York) sold it from the late '30s until some time in the '70s. Halo commcls were on TV here in Los Angeles and I remember at least some of them. I remember the mermaid commercial, particularly, but the jingle, used in live action and cartoon commcls, was an earworm.

[@Dhugo4511]

I was searching for the Carolina Rice song- the original sung by a female with a Southern accent. She even calls attention to her accent when she says " pardon my drawl. I've come to mention long grain rice to y'all". Instead, i got this compilation!

[@Dhugo4511]

O was looking for the original Carolina Rice commercial. Can someone post it?

[@joannie1q2w3e]

Geez, you know, I used to love Winstons & now I feel like washing my hair w/ Halo shampoo! I used the stuff in nursing school & actually had very good results. Ha.

[@mchume65]

Slinky was nothing more the a spring. Over 300 million were sold between 1945 and 2005.

[@georgecoventry8653]

Yes, I had one or two slinkies back in those years. They were fun to send "walking" down a flight of stairs.

[@ZugbruckMusik]

Slinky stairs were like four inches wide. No wonder that trick never worked in real life.

[@josephcope7637]

I got a Slinky when I was ten years old and it worked great for me. But you couldn't just lay it on a step and expect it to start down the stairs on its own. You had to pull the top up and over the next step. Then it would walk all the way down to the basement floor one step at a time. At least it did for me. I'd be willing to bet some owners never figured that out.

[@orangie8426]

Yup was a little more... You had to get it at just the right angle and speed.. And start it at just the right height.. If it wasn't done right or was off by just a little it wouldn't work!

[@HuskerGram]

Love this momentary return to a time when life was simple despite the war protests. I don't remember the Halo commercials, but do all the rest. Made me think of some others... How about Viceroy cigarettes, "I'd rather fight than switch." And "Brylcreem, little dab'll do ya!" Thanks so much for the memories. (But that's a different show. LOL) Commercials today just don't measure up.

[@bertholini2810]

I have to stop watching these videos. It's after 12:00, I'm laying in bed.... and singing these silly (yet very memorable) songs.

[@26vichag]

[@mackm3875]

1:30 The irony of the Frito Bandito commercial. Just crazy. The New Halo at the end was funny, too.

[@TheCatgirl6]

LOL--"Ancient Chinese secret, huh?"-- I remember that one! One of the great pleasures of collecting classic TV on DVD is that sometimes extras like TV commercials of the era are also included on the disc. I just located that "1001 Classic Commercials" DVD set at Amazon and dropped it in my cart--thanks for the tip! I could easily spend an entire evening watching stuff like that. I guess it's that we were kids when most of these commercials aired--kids really connect with TV advertising.

[@winonamassingill7895]

The Frito Bandito commercial was removed from the air due to complaints claiming that it was racist. I think that they’re people who just live to find something to object to, or something to complain about. 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀👎👎👎👎👎😡😡😡😡😡

[@gabbyg561]

I remember we kids singing the Frito Bandito song and the Oscar Meyer Weiner Song all the time. It was cool to have an Oscar Meyer weiner whistle.

[@elc1960]

"Maya" was a show about a boy (Jay North), his friendly Indian friend (Khan) and their pet elephant. North played an American kid traveling across India trying to find his father, who was missing and presumed dead. The show was only on for one season, but had officially licensed trading cards. The show was on (I believe) during the 1966 - 67 season, and I believe it ran on Saturday nights after "Flipper" (both shows were by Ivan Tors, who also did "Daktari").

[@ratattack327]

Ah the Winston song! As kids we used to sing: Winston tastes bad like the one I just had, no filter no flavor, tastes like used toilet paper. Memories. :)

The voice of "Snap" in the Rice Krispies ad is Len Dresslar Jr., better known as the voice (the "Ho Ho Ho") of the Jolly Green Giant. Back in the '50s and '60s if you needed a bass or baritone voice for your commercial you called either Dresslar or Thurl Ravenscroft ("Tony the Tiger").

[@faithfulchristian9171]
