These old commercial compilation videos are just what I need to temporarily escape this treacherous society we currently live in, and mentally go back to a much simpler and more serene time of my life. Literally brings tears to my eyes.

[@tamarawright3646]

[@ChatGPT1111]

Yep treacherous and now we even long for the society we had just a year ago!

Glad to skip commercials today

[@ChatGPT1111]

This is just plain scary. I'm 62 and remember these ads, events, news clips and the voices like they were all yesterday. Then, I thought 30 was old! I recently saw an old friend from that time and he reminded me of an older version of his father!!!

The matrix did not fully absorb us in 1980, and the entertainment was top notch, propaganda or not. Some of it ages well or acceptable. Advertising was not such garbage in 1980. You still knew they were full of shit, but it was sexy.

These commercials comfort us because they show human relationships and domesticity . Human interaction over technical imagery. Real people, real environments, voice overs of real people. Simple music. I can still remember jingles from 45 years ago.

Cliffhangers was finally the show that got me to stop watching Happy Days, at the time a ratings juggernaut. But I was a little tired of it after four and a half years. Guess that explains why I never saw the "jumping the shark" episode back in '79.

[@gayleadams7236]

Looking at these vintage TV ads makes you think of the products that used to be-Body On Tap, Glory Rug Cleaner, and Favor wax, just to name a few. Some of the products advertised are not around any more.

My mom was pregnant with me in Rochester 1979. It’s quite possible that she saw these exact commercials. Dunkin Donuts commercial sounds like Sesame Street song writer Joe Raposo.

On of my good friends moved to LA after we graduated high school ( 1982) and dated one of the stunt men who worked on the Dukes of Hazzard...he bought one of the many "General Lee's" which had the doors welded shut...my friend finally broke up with him because she got tired of crawling in through the window in her skirts. Although, I daresay that was a plus to the guy :)

The American Airlines commercial is haunting. The copyright is 1979, and he’s talking about March and April. Then it shows a DC-10 taking off. Well, history tells you what happened at the end of May, 1979, with an American Airlines DC-10. To this day still the worst in U.S. History.

Back then, you could just disappear. If you weren't home, no one could call you. People actually had conversations in public. Weren't staring at their cell phone all damn day. Because of it, society has become a race if introverted, narcissistic zombies. Saying things they'd never say to your face. Void of compassion, fairness and integrity. Because, technology has made it possible to be cold, un-caring and anonymous, with no consequences.

@@staciicats7330 That sounds like a fair stance. Trying to filter all the negativity takes too much energy. Too many folks are too vulnerable to bull crap, conspiracy. Then let this technology do their thinking for them. Keep it real people. Do you're own thinking. Question even what you see. "There is a sucker born every minute." Don't be one. Social media is threatening democracy. You don't wanna live under an authoritarian government, you just don't. In other words, don't be a sheep. Be an individual, with your thoughts and determinations, independent. Otherwise, avoid pizza. It's made by Satan Worshiping pedophiles.
