It was also funded by the plastics industry who was taking heat for their materials polluting the environment. It was their response, to put it on the users.

And the Indians (as those who are call it) wondered if you're such an advocate, why not advocate for one of us play ourselves? These are the roots of how woke is out of control today, because common sense wasnt used as much as possible back then.

This compilation was made for people who remember the commercials because in many they just showed the recognizable bit that people would remember from those days. Sir. Several of them I could tell you didn't understand because they didn't have the context of the commercial. A lot of commercials were little stories and you had to see the entire commercial to understand it.

[@CG68810]

Every single one of these I remember. It's amazing how many iconic ones there were. They were definitely about the jingle and making sure it stuck in your head. The LIFE cereal one with Mikey may have been the most iconic. Most of those commercials were from the 70s. (Mid to late). I know its hard to believe if you were not alive then, but life was indeed so much simple then. Technology is great most of the time, but a life before mobile phones, social media, netflix/hulu, and the internet was happier. You didn't know about any of that so you didn't miss it. Having one TV was not an issue, you would simply watch one of 3 stations with your family. Families would gather together and bond. Even when you were fighting with your sibling, you would somehow be civil when you were watching your favorite programs. If someone wanted to reach you they had to catch you by your landline when you were home, or if you were lucky you had answering machine. Now most kids spend hardly anytime outside, but back then, you couldn't wait to go play with your friends.

[@samrumohr2691]

The kids would go outside if it were safe to do so!! Not in the world we live in today 😢

[@MySherry10]

Man we loved these commercials and sang these jingles all the time LOL

[@eddietucker7005]

We had no choice but to watch these commercials. There were only three tv stations in the city. I grew up in rural Texas and we only had two Stations. One that was loved by everybody was the Life Cereal commercial… “some cereal. It’s supposed to be good for you. Did you try it? No! you try it. hey! Let’s get Mikey. Yeah! He won’t eat it. He hates everything… he likes it! Hey, Mikey!” Later on in the 80’s, it became a thing to see what Mikey grew up to look like. He was in People Magazine, everywhere you looked. And the little boy fishing was so cute singing about “My Bologna has a first name, it’s OSCAR… we all loved the “it’s not nice to fool…. Mother Nature! (Lightning strike.) Remember the “Butter/Parkay” commercial that you showed? When I worked at 7-11, I was in the cooler stocking the shelves and this drunk guy comes in and open the door that I’m behind. We had some on the shelf and I said, “butter”. He looked around, and went back to it and again I said “butter”. He jumped then lean his head in and said “butter?” I said “Parkay”! That man RAN out the store screaming. Now you can see how evil we were back then. That was considered to be a mean prank by my manager. If that’s the worst thing you could do back in the 70’s, I think we were ok. 🤣🤣🤣

[@jefferoni1984]

Commercials are a really good way to get a feel for previous decades. They’re like little time capsules. Everyone saw them because it was harder to avoid them back then. No cable, no ad free Hulu or KZbin. Just four or five channels and tons of ads. They were so iconic back then because we were all watching the same things for the most part.

[@donesmith2011]

I loved this video. My favorite was the Miller Lite commercial featuring Marvelous Marv Thornberry at the end leaning against the bar wondering why they wanted him in the commercial. You guys are too young to know him, but Marvelous Marv gained notoriety as the hapless 1st baseman of the 1962 NY Mets (the 62 Mets set s MLB modern day record for losses with a 40-120 record). In one game Marvelous Marv made 3 errors at 1st base. Casey Stengel yanked him and put in a replacement. The new guy quickly made an error prompting Marv to complain, "Hey, that guy's trying to steal my job." So many memories. Thanks, guys.

[@laudanum669]

The guy in the center was Mickey Spillane a writer most notably "Mike Hammer" Detective novels. Behind him is Billy Martin former NY Yankees Manager.

[@nathans3241]

Each commercial you played had a long run on TV and were most memorable. Of course there are more. When a TV show was on, the commercial breaks were very brief, usually about 60 seconds and 30 seconds, which meant if we had to go to the bathroom during a show, we would run to the bathroom to come back so we would not miss anything. We had no DVR''s or VCR's to control any breaks. A 30 minute sitcom would actually run about 25 or 26 minutes, not including commercials. Now sitcoms not including commercials are about 20 to 22 minutes. Thanks for showing those commercials. It's been so many years since I've seen them.

You didn't even get to find out Mother Nature was mad at being fooled into thinking Chiffon margarine was her sweet, creamy butter, and the shot of hundreds of people singing about Coca-Cola as the camera pulls away from the mountain top is iconic, but you didn't even get to see that part. You didn't get to see the cereal Mikey likes is Life cereal. You also didn't recognize LOTS of celebrities. I heard someone say Joe Namath but not that he was with Farrah Fawcett.

[@1001Hobbies]

So many of the jingles were VERY CATCHY back then, and were fun to sing. The McDonald's commercial was a "challenge" to repeat as fast as you can. It was fun to ask the girl at the counter at Burger King to sing the jingle - "Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce...." Commercial breaks were SO MUCH SHORTER back then, we actually complained you didn't have enough time to go to the bathroom because commercial breaks were short, and you didn't want to miss any of your show. Commercial breaks seem to go on forever now. Yes, many of the jingles back then were appreciated and we sang them for the enjoyment of how fun it was, or when it applied to what we were doing. A lot of the clips in that video were not the whole commercial and some important context was missing to be able to enjoy the commercial. Yes, the Frito Bandito was incredibly popular and adored.....but a while ago the character was deemed "racist" and was removed from all advertising. It's a shame. People appreciated the character.

Hi, 'dudes.' I remember seeing all these commercials but two maybe. Wish the video showed longer cuts of the commercials. I have a "Stay Alive" game in my basement right now. I wanted a "Rock'm Sock'm Robots" but never got one. I can guess how long I'd be interested in it--maybe a little longer than the commercial, ha. I had the "Deuces Wild" SSP (shown in the commercial). And my brother and I got a used SSP "Smash up Derby" set. Played with them quite a bit. I didn't mind the commercials back then, probably because they didn't run so many like these days. The shows were longer with maybe 2 or 3 commercials at the breaks. Now look at how many commercials there are for each hour show. Having fun checking out a lot of your reactions. Carry on!

[@JustMe-vk4fn]

:D Back in the day you bought the type of television set you could afford (screen size, cabinet design, etc) and then you plugged it into an electrical socket in your home and watched t.v. shows to your hearts' content. Turn it on, turn it off - turn it up, turn it down, maybe attach an antenna for UHF stations. Simple. *No* other costs, no "apps", nobody trying to connect with you or tell you what to watch. No danger of being "hacked". All you had to do is pay your electric bill and you were all set. :) The first t.v. mom and dad bought in the 50's had an 8 inch diagonal black & white screen.

We pick up the trash and we don't tolerate people who litter.

I agree, and having lived through that campaign, it was intense. PSA's on TV, new trash cans everywhere with the national slogan "Keep America Beautiful" and the little man on them (those are still everywhere making it easy to throw trash way), roadside cleanups, and much more. People who littered were shamed into compliance and it all happened at the same time as the push to clean up our air and water ways, which was also enormously successful. The country was in a very sad environmental state when the 70s came around. Now mindless politicians want to dismantle these basic rules to let industry police themselves.

Great to see you guys back in action!! Great choice tonight!! 😎👍✌️

[@sassymess7111]

I'm 55 I remember these. Fun fact; the Native American on the pollution commercial, he's actually an Italian actor! It was such an iconic commercial back in the day.

[@yogib37]

The Alka-Seltzer one with the meat balls and all the re takes when he finally got it right, then the director said.. Ok that is a rap lets break for lunch. One of my favorite one. I remember all them.

Here in Southern California, there used to be a car dealership owned by a man named Cal Worthington. His TV commercials always had the same corny jingle with him doing some kind of stunt (“Go see Cal, go see Cal!”). There are many of his ads here on KZbin. Check them out! Unfortunately, Cal died in 2013. His sons took over the business. However, I read in the news several years ago that his sons decided to close the remaining car dealership businesses here in Southern California.

Cal was an early memory for me, like 1971 or so (3 years old at the time). Anyone remember the Bob Dale Show?

[@AbandonedMines11]

@@nowthatsjustducky That name Bob Dale sounds vaguely familiar to me for some reason. I moved out here to Southern California in 1991, so that might’ve been just a little bit before my time here.

[@TypaHollywood]

Thank you for the recommendation, we will check that out! I’m originally from Southern California so I’m curious if I’ll recognize the commercials…

[@AzaleaLuna]

The nostalgia is overwhelming. I remember every one of those.

[@christina9841]

Good to see you guys back. :) I had such a crush on the Dr. Pepper guy lol...... so many great memories here. My best friend and I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how many licks it took to get to the center of a lollipop, but we could never figure it out lol.... suggestion: SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK!!! If you haven't already seen these, they are seriously must see tv.... you will LOVE them.

[@angelagoodwin5758]

Missed you guys. Welcome back! Love these classic commercials from my youth.

[@SabrinaL10101]

I loved all the Lite beer commercials. Beer commercials were some of the best

[@user-us5pv8zw3z]

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. It was wonderful growing up during this time. No internet, cell phones, or social media. My family had one , twenty inch, black and white television with a whopping five stations. What I wouldn’t give to go back . What I wouldn’t give…

[@Reardonsteel236]

Local? Cal Worthington Dodge. From the southwest. "If you want to change your luck, if you want to save a buck, go see Cal, go see Cal, go see Cal." "And this ain't my dog spot". One jingle that has been stuck in me head was Prel shampoo. "Who put the ooooh on shampoo" Yup. Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesemie seed bun. Hold the pickles hold the lettuce special orders won't upset us. All we ask is that you let us have it your way.

[@TheDougMan]

Great reaction! I was a kid in the ‘60s and remember all of these commercials with one or two exceptions. I suggest running more commercials from this period, if available. Until next time.

[@phil3924]

I haven't seen that Stay Alive game in decades. I think the daycare I went to in the 80's had that one. Cool game.

[@judyfretwell8759]

I love the old lady who said “where’s the beef” I thought it was so funny

[@michaelstallings5824]

back in the day they were few if any remote controls,,so people had to get up walk across the floor,and change channels, most used commerical breaks for bathroom breaks,or to go to the kitchen to get snack breaks..in my family if it were two sporting events on at the same time.we would flip channels during commericals.

[@jethro1963]

I find it funny when the kids whine about commercials. That's how you get "free" TV. I don't pay for TV anymore by using OTA (antenna) and FAST services (Tubi, Pluto, Plex et al) If a commercial comes on I just go to the guide to see what's on later or on another channel and then go back to the show. It's not difficult.

[@carmenvazquez5784]

I'm 62 and these commercials are STILL memorable -- I remember the words to all those jingles! Today's commercials are just so blah! Those commercials had style!

[@debiconner6377]

I am 67, and I would like to share with you a seldom heard version of the Oscar Meyer Wiener song: "Oh, I'm glad I'm not an Oscar Meyer Wiener. That is what I never want to be. Cause if I were an Oscar Meyer Wiener, there would soon be nothing left of me."

[@robertcartier5088]

_"I like leather... can you say that, "S&M"? Sure ya can!"_ That line, spoken in a Mr. Rogers tone, was used in a radio commercial for a store that sold leather seat covers for cars, here in Montreal. Gotta love 1976! ;-]

[@pamegan8735]

I grew up with all these commercials. Love this !!

[@alexd0617]

All these ads bring back sooooo many memories.
