NEW ORLEANS COMMERCIALS - Seafood City & more Classic Ads

[@natoyabattiste]

These commercials really bring back memories, if you're not from New Orleans, you wouldn't understand!!!

[@willpierre5208]

I understand, I live in Ar. But I grew up on the north shore the commercials are special each one has it's own time,its own memories that they bring,which for me makes it easier and clearer to understand the past and see the changes that has brought us to this day.0

[@sdf1000]

im not from the us and you are completely right!

[@baronedipiemonte3990]

You can leave New Orleans, but New Orleans never leaves you !

[@blind_t2]

raised in Cali, but got family and friends in the New Orleans/gulfport area, so I get it.

[@donnasw1234]

Boy I could really go for a McKenzie Buttermilk drop. Thanks for the memories

[@shinigamiguardian9686]

I remember these commercials. I wish those prices were back!

[@atworkstation]

That's the New Orleans I remember growing up as a kid.

[@Swe231]

Me too😢

[@devintaylor8702]

THAT WAS THE GOOD OLD DAYS 😊😊

[@debh5850]

Don't know why, but I love coming back from time to time to revisit these....1825 Tulane...

[@DJPoundPuppy]

McKenzie's commercials are so soothing.

[@drinajones1006]

Bring back so memories love my city hate the crime 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

[@lakeviewviking]

When I was a kid, I thought that Miller the Killer ad was the greatest thing ever; man, is it sadistic!

[@creoleperez6971]

I use to the hell out of Miller the Killer ..

[@docmobuquet5084]

1957 had a black over canary yellow '57 Mercury Montclair convertible. Cruised the Gulf Coast, Pontchatrain Beach, all the way to Corpus Christi TX, and I thought I was poor. Thanks for the memories. The city was something else back then. Wanted good steaks? Just find where the gambling was going on. You could get steaks and the trimmings at 3 - 4 in the morning. Life was better then than we knew. Thank You New Orleans and the surrounding area.

[@24CAIN]

I MISS NEW ORLEANS .. GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD ... JOHNNY'S IS A CLASSIC COMMERICAL & THAT 1 COMMERICAL .. DATS A GOOD CAR PA PA! HAHA!!!

[@baronedipiemonte3990]

That Paw Paws dealership was across the state line in Mississippi

[@ttimhcsllerrad]

Miller the Killer and Rosenburg Rosenberg 1825 Tulane are the ones that have stuck in my mind since I was a 10 year old. Good stuff! Thanks!

[@hnorky]

Awesome flashbacks. My Daddy told me when he was a kid in the 40s and 50s, one of the big Canal Street stores, Kress, Goudchaux's, I can't remember which, had clerks who would help kids shop for gifts for their parents. The parents had to leave and shop elsewhere in the store while the kids picked out a present. Can you imagine in today's paranoia parents leaving their kids with a stranger for half an hour? I wish my kids could grow up in a world like that.

[@johnnyballenatl]

It was not just New Orleans; cable viewers in Gulfport and Biloxi, Miss. were treated to those ads as well...even if those businesses were 90 minutes away west of I-10!

[@johnnyballenatl]

@Gary York Unfortunately, McKenzie's (WDSU produced that commercial as evidenced by the graphic) never expanded beyond New Orleans, and the closest Schwegmann's to us was in Slidell.

[@blind_t2]

Jonathan Allen why we went to the New Orleans location when we made the land right before we hit the bridge. Loved that place.

[@zzydny]

I remember before I-10. We had to take Highway 90 from Mississippi until it turned into Chef Menteur at the Parish line.

[@zayzkidd]

This brings tears to my eyes because of the fact that after Katrina, I have barely been back. You know what.... I AM GOING TO MOVE BACK TO MY CITY SOON.

[@el-kiote]

Have you made it back?

[@juansuarez1457]

I did something similar because my house was destroyed by hurricane ida and now I live in Houston and I will move back to Louisiana

[@baronedipiemonte3990]

@@juansuarez1457 Oh man I'm sorry you lost your home. I'm on the north shore and had a dozen or so trees down, busted septic tank, and a little roof damage. Let's hope and pray that all of us get the help we need to put everything back together ! The house I was born in, in Lakeview made it through Betsy, but Katrina turned it into a pile of sticks and bricks... I think Hurricane Ida was worse.

1825 Tulane!! I truly miss my city.

[@nova3930]

Buttermilk drops. Oh man. I can still taste those things.

[@Jayberryjam]

Can you still taste the difference? =P

[@ankimo1957]

My entire youth was wrapped up in that four minutes and 32 seconds.

[@Auburbanite]

my dad used to sing the song with us - seafood city, very pretty. i don't remember the people in the commercial. that was hilarious.

I'm happy to say that Mr. Bingle is on display every year at the Celebration of the Oaks.

How many here had to leave Nawlins after Katrina? And as crazy as some of these were, you love them anyway because they were a part of your LIFE! K&B Purple deserves a hashtag!

This bring back so many memories ima 91 baby these commercials make me miss Old New Orleans

[@ironheadrat3420]

I had forgotten about those Godchaux's ads, I used to see them when my mom was watching the soaps. Very stylish, I remember there being a new one of these pretty often. A lot of favorites here.

[@hansumjoe]

I would love a dozen of those buttermilk drops, particularly from the one in Lakeview, where I grew up

[@jasonsadventures64]

The Godchaux's music is so mysterious sounding. I remember they upgraded the song with synths as they got closer to the 80s.

[@DAquingil]

Yeah, I thought so too. I remember as a kid hearing that Godchaux's music, and it just stuck in my head.

[@JC-ct7zx]

That music is other worldly and triggers memories as early as 2 years old

[@kinyodas]

Pontchartrain Beach was on.. well, Pontchartrain beach at the south end of Lake Pontchartrain in New Orleans near UNO. I went once before it closed in the early 80's. It was uprooted for what I believe was to be beachfront houses but that never materialized. I worked in a bar that collected memorabilia from there such as old arcade games, signs, "Zoltar"-type fortune tellers, season passes, pictures, which were all probably destroyed by Katrina...

[@StillLateToTheParty]

“Go see the special man...” “Lettah have it!”

[@StukInBuf]

When there was the Schweggman's plaza on West Bank Expressway in Harvey, they had a McKenzie's right in the hallway. Miss their stuff, especially the Mardi Gras cake and lemon meringue pie.

[@willieseals5934]

Schwegmann on 5300 Old Gentilly Rd. had a Mc Kenzie's too.

[@ClaytonJonesImages]

I went there all the time. My grandma lived on Mirabeau, down the street from Parkview (was Claiborne back then, lol)

[@DiamondHobbit]

I remember Frankie furniture - even as a child, I was laughing my face off! 🤣😂

[@baronedipiemonte3990]

You're being too hard on yourself. I remember Victor Schiro, Moon Landrieu, Joe Giarusso, the Warwick Hotel, Royal Castle, etc. A good memory doesn't mean we're old ... Almost forgot SCHWEGMANNS and Canal Villerie !

[@PchanStitch]

Growing up in Slidell, I remember seeing these ads a lot...and I oddly miss all these low-budget, local ads. Don't see anything like this in Houston.

[@derlinclaire1778]

No,I imagine that you wpuldn,t,my dear friend.I also grew up in New Orleans,and lived there for 43 years.Now I,m living in Slidell since Nov 1,2005,friend.Merci beaucoup,mon Cher ami,and God bless you.

[@didsomebodysaydmt8193]

I can remember we used to hop off the car in the haunted house at Pontchartrain beach and hide out in there not realizing we probably could have gotten shocked to death,lol. And the wild mouse was a friggin death trap.

[@keefmeister77]

We would jump off in the haunted house too, right after the noisy mummy. The thing to do on the Wild Maus was for everyone to body slam the left side of the car as it took that wicked right turn. And of course, we tried to "pop the cable" on the airplane ride. The good old days!

I remember him "Dialing for Dollars". Hope he is still doing well.

[@schleusenmeister]

Really glad to hear about Mr. Darby. I remember he did the NOPSI commercials, among other things. I remember his son when we were teenagers at the Repertory Theatre. He (the son) organized a series of classic black & white film screenings at a church uptown, I think the St. Charles Ave. Presbyterian Church, back even before VHS. Is that you?

[@myoldbuddy05]

I think the F&J commercial is either more recent, or maybe an 80s/90s commercial that they updated. I don't remember the younger guy being in any of the ones from when I was a kid. I never saw him until youtube. The Rosenberg's commercial is really old, maybe late 60s, but they've been running it for decades pretty much unchanged.

Pnchatrain Beach... Never heard of that til now. Is that now "Six Flags Louisiana," or something like it? Shortly after moving from N'Yawlinz to Buffalo in 80, we heard of, and once went to "Crystal Beach!" That's in Canada. Anyway, it has since shut down, and is just a walkway, if I recall it right.

[@devilred1971]

SuperPat88 six flags was built in New Orleans east but it was jazz land before six flags people bought it and made it a six flags..Katrina ruined it and it’s non-functional..also ponchartrain beach was a completely separate amusement park located on the beach and close to the university of New Orleans.
