I wonder what that baby is doing now....lol he probably has grand kids of his own now...imagine him watching that commercial.

[@DisneyTohru56]

These commercials are so cute ^.^ It's more fun then our commercials today xD

[@Luke-lv4ql]

I love watching very old ads. They relax me so much.

[@jordanhunt4867]

I’ve done it since 2008, maybe even before!

[@TheOneTrueKaliban]

Actually, TV goes at least as far back as 1939, in New York City. By 1946 there were several stations operating. I remember just about all of these ads, which would make them 1956 or later I was just about the age as the Maypo kid. And my favorite flavor of Jell-O was brack laspberry!

[@mumujk]

2:18 lol that baby is almost 70 years old now :P

[@enolabrown3525]

haha yeah and that will be you Soon too ..once you hit 30 time goes by so fast already now you are 2 years Older Aging is like a Disease and happens very quickly

[@ChelseaNeKole93]

That popcorn one was the lit! lol

[@KawaiiMooMoo]

That Kroger chicken was so cute!

[@katiebug200110]

I have a DVD with all these commercials on them! I got it for christmas

[@mlseriacantare]

The first TV ad was in 1941, good sir and TVs were first commercially available in the late 20's!

[@Jeff98177]

I was born in 1962 and my parents kept the card that was taped to my crib at the hospital. At the bottom was a little ad for Pet milk. Even back then...

[@50sJohnny]

that is the cutest happiest baby!

[@FurbyGender]

Everything was set to music, jingles as they said back then. It's odd that they just couldn't talk out their products. I love the one with the mother and baby in it. That's adorable and I'm wondering what if that mother is still living and what the baby looks like today.

[@ewinmn]

The mother is long gone and the baby is most likely in their 70's now in 2016.

[@marcoAKAjoe]

that mother was so pretty

[@juwandr10]

Kid: " i want my cowboy ha" Dad: " after breakfast" Kid: " i want it now" So cute :3

[@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427]

I just love the humor in that Andersen Soup commercial. Non identical twins! Try it tomorrow, or a week from Tuesday!

[@AdrianGeorgeNicolae]

These were epic.

[@jordanhunt4867]

Kroger predicted a rhyme of a 2004 Keane song (Bedshaped/Eggshaped), also Fay Weldon did it to go to work on an egg, from me beautiful little island of Blighty, ey up chuck! Keane British too, they’re from Sussex/Kent

[@billy12080]

TV broadcasts began in the late 1940s but only in a few markets.

[@sweetiethefox4623]

I LOVE 1960S 1940S

[@kristina80ification]

actually television existed since the late 30s, most stations during that time though were strictly experimental, a few stations started airing programs for general viewing the early 40s, but most stations shut down once the war started, which slowed down adoption of it, they started back up in the late 40s but TV didn't become popular until the early 50s, that being said, most comercials were shown as live segments in the shows back then.

[@thelurch88]

I think that Rap Music was actually introduced first with E-Z Pop

[@MsPhoneMonkey]

I think it's sad we no longer consider pudding to be 'nourishing.'

[@XundeadXnightmareX]

40s 50s just looked so easy. Why couldn't life just be simpler than it is. To bad thats the past and life is just going to get harder. We always can live in the 40s 50s in our head, but not dream to much we forget reality.

[@ahmadrashid970]

Aida Rashid: Pure science in action...E Z Pop popcorn.

[@squeezemyparticiple]

I had a hard time following the first one and I'm a freaking jazz musician

[@SPNjaredpadalecki]

LOL the last one is hilarious!!!

[@FarrishCarter]

There were about 600 TVs in NYC during World War II. The television era really began at the war's end.

[@MannonElizabeth]

The maypo kids voice is so cute

[@elizabethpenrose3440]

Drawn by John Hubley.

[@elizabethpenrose3440]

And I think the voice is one of his kids.

[@monisamontoya413]

There used to be a series of commercials with a song " I'm your mother.. " and each had a family of a different race. Can't remember the product.

[@Kavaeric]

I take it you ain't hip old man 'cause EZ-Pop pops in its own pan this will never not be catchy

[@MySpace662]

Great commercials of that era! Love to know the names of the AD Agencies that were involved in these commercials.

[@jamaicadk]

Sounds like Bob and Ray on the Anderson Soup commercial

[@DiamanteDea]

Tvs came out in the late 40s. but no one really had them until the 50s.

[@terentii]

And radio for many years before that....

[@elizabethpenrose3440]

The ad at 1.03 looks a lot like Saul Steinberg's style, though less abstract.

[@elizabethpenrose3440]

I think the Anderson Soup is Bob and Ray.

[@azathoth778]

@1973bugml TV and commercials were around in the 40s. The Howdy Doody Show started airing in '47-'48.

[@RebornsRReal22]

TV has been around since the 20s but not very many people could afford it TV's became more aforadble in the 50s before then house TV's were mostly in rich houses.

[@rextony22]

even in the 40s they sounded very hip hop or rap like and they talk too

[@FlatRangeOperator]

Long ass commercials back then

[@SelenaGomezBestest]

3:15 I wish I can sleep like that

[@gianihairston6866]

3:15

[@Caelidh]

love the old jazzy popcorn.. yeah.. play it REAAAAAL Coooool... i mean Hot..

[@rextony22]

in the back to the future 3, it is shown in the 50s. it could have started around 49 i think. i maybe wrong

[@NatashaJHarper]

Entertaining commercials spare the last one!

[@lostindreams3]

That Maypo kid seems like a snob

[@zipperzzz]

He's just a little kid, they act like that.

[@deathbatgirlxxx]

well, the eggs at the grocery store never get fertilized, so maybe not

[@rextony22]

good idea. lol. im for that.

[@ThePenguinExpress]

TODAY, E-Z POP popcorn should be called not so e-z pop

[@MarisDLC]

Cute baby...which is probably like 60 now

[@rextony22]

one problem though, you would have to be drafted into war in the early 40s. i would love to go there too but war is scary. i would live in the 50s though since i love lucy is shown lol

[@jordanhunt4867]

I wonder what adverts looked like during other (regional) wars?

[@nastarwarrior]

the first video is the first rap ever

[@MWTM357]

@Cewyah do you watch videos?

[@elsamiller2233]

How do you upload these OLD commercials?!

[@elsamiller2233]

And I want myself some E-Z Pop :(

[@twilightfirefly]

That Jello commercial w/ the Chinese baby always makes me shake my head. The spoon is no "great Western invention!" They've been in use for eons by quite a few cultures. But I guess that's hard to see when you're blinded by institutional racism.

[@Khloe_dancer_model]

LOL! let's do it together! I am in! :P

[@BamaDillon]

tom and jerry first recorded in 1940

[@Khloe_dancer_model]

Talking about the history if t.v. it is so sad how trashy it has become.Is not simple good entertainment or used for the benefit of the people or community..did it really get better?? just pointing that out.We are the most advanced generation..but are we?? I love these old commercials.Straight up Black and white simplicity,awesome! :P

[@adamk.4861]

All cartoon comercials

[@Ishtars_Star]

there is nothing wrong with that, but it is my opinion. some women like to be housewives, and some dont. i think each person should do what makes them happy. for myself personally, i love making tons of home made things and taking care of the home. but, if i were to up and leave that position and get a job instead, my fiance would be behind me 100%. if a woman wants to work, or be a housewife, or be both, its her decision, whatever makes her happy! same with the man. but my fiance enjoys work :)

[@jennicase]

glape jello

[@pagalmasala]

Chinesss type-baby? Glape Jerro! Velly good, no?

[@DriveFlies]

Why are blacks claiming credit for rap. E-Z Pop was rapping before them

[@youdidwhat7530]

"pewr chinese baby"

[@ivankillz36]

Mad men

[@ThePenguinExpress]

gleat westeln invention. spoon

[@DONcruz2010]

eggshaped, when was the word "Oval" even invented?

[@bumblingberry]

Except many of the inventions today wouldn't exist if not for the WW2. Not trying to justify war but...

[@mariahmills4361]

lol

[@Dablkwid0w2008]

Is it wrong just to want to be a housewife? Cooking nutrious meals for your family

[@iovandrake]

Back when women were women and men were men.

[@FluXez00]

a suppressed time, ah those were the good ole' days

[@iovandrake]

"Suppressed" by doing what they naturally loved. Oh, wait, you probably believe the modern propaganda that tells you they were all unhappy slaves and are all happily liberated now. Just ignore all the rampant unhappiness both sexes suffer from, that's no concern at all (cause the propaganda doesn't tell you to be concerned about it).

[@skressedout]

Last one was so racist LMFAO

[@TheHatr3d]

No it's not...

[@MYR7ZK]

I agree.

[@MYR7ZK]

That Jello commercial is beyond offensive, a product of its (let's be truthful here) ill-informed, less enlightened, and more culturally ignorant times -- which by the by I can say this bc I used to be in advertising (as an English copywriter)...

[@BrutafulStudios01]

Be careful. And get used to being told what to do by Asians, as China and Marie Yuen will own You, your children and the United States in ten to twenty years.

[@enolabrown3525]

actually it was Far more Racist for the Liberal Idol FDR to throw Japanese Americans in CAMPS like Cattle..however the socalled "tolerant" Liberals continue to worship him..frankly i see no difference in either the liberals or conservatives they are all racists and hateful still to this day and throw in the feminazis who hate women men and transgenders

[@marellasaldana4762]

For Fat Baby Brother

[@juwandr10]

*hat

[@tweetspie]

Ignore the racist teabagger below. These are neat.

[@tweetspie]

Ig

[@jimlawlor1215]

Jerro

[@perlavictoria3633]

just a comment that might bother they were producing garbage at that time at that was the las century

[@alazka16]

7:03 Great WESTERN invention? I think NOT.

[@henrystroup3330]

Chinese baby commercial was VERY racist.

[@xWasabiNekoProx]

Oh, old racist commercials.

[@sayyedshuker]

the last one is very racist
