OLD COMMERCIALS #2 (the 70's)

[@boopah4365]

45 yrs later & I still think of that slogan every time I see Charmin..

[@guineapiglady2841]

Charmin today's commercials suck. Can't stand those bears.

[@Ston247]

The voices of Charles Nelson Riley and Paul Lind are unforgettable.

[@Aramanth]

Such a treat to watch classic commercials that have nothing to do with prescription drugs, their cures and deadly side effects!

[@not-so-smartaleck8987]

Those commercials USED to be limited to long "infomercials" on weird channels that nobody usually watched. Now the pharmaceutical industry is trying to shove a lot of that junk into "regular" ads, on frequently watched shows/channels...like weight-loss ads that explicitly show the excessive body fat on certain test subjects (as a "before" pic). We usually have the TV on at dinner time (and eat in the living room watching it), and I'm like, I'm trying to EAT here, and you're showing me THIS?!?

[@susanjmaki]

I actually think those are commercials for lawyers! Life was nice before attorney ads. And why? Because Howard Metzenbaum had an attorney for a son in law! Does anyone else here remember back when it was illegals for attorneys to advertise?

[@ChatGPT1111]

In 2022, its My Pillow and fake fruit and veggie pills that cost a fortune. The review comments for all of these say they're complete garbage but the ads run every two minutes. Suckers must be born every minute.

[@dorothydromgoole8040]

Couldn't agree more. I'm getting so tired of those ads, too.

[@sonnyinaz]

Unfortunately short lived as in the 80's they did start showing up...

I remember meeting my friends at the park in the morning, played until lunchtime, and after lunch going back to the park, or to a friend’s house 3-4 blocks away. We didn’t have to worry about being attacked, etc.....we left the front door unlocked until after dinner and we lived in the city, not out in the suburbs. I feel bad for the kids these days. They can’t just go out and play, it isn’t safe.

The Jordache commercial worked in the late 70s because it was a more innocent time. Child molesters were not talked about back then, so the topic was not on most people's minds. Meanwhile, tight-fitting designer jeans were very much in vogue: Jordache, Sasson, & Gloria Vanderbilt, the label for each worn on the back pocket. Like adult clothing today, whatever was in style was also marketed to children. Hence the kids dressing like their teacher. Guess you had to be there to get it.
