The 'Native American' was actually Italian. He went by the name Iron Eyes Cody and he was an advocate for the Native Americans

[@briantimko6798]

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.

[@C.Church]

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.

I remember all of these also remember when all the channels went off the air at midnight and most programs were in black and white.

[@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 😢

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. 🤣🤣🤣

[@Dimika-rq3uj]

My favorite, too!

[@cwyci]

That was fun! Back then we knew all the words to the jingles, and still do! I was singing along to half of these...Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce, special orders don't upset us...Have it your way, have it your way! Everyone loved the little boy singing, "My bologna has a first name..."; and "Hey Mikey!" "He likes it!". They were similar to videos or memes going viral, now days!

[@adamn7516]

[@EagleFang74]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

_"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! ;-]

[@christinabrown8399]

I remember many many of these commercials! Although I had forgotten that Ricardo Monteblan had done the car commercials.

"....with rich Corinthian Leather...." There is no such thing as, "Corinthian leather" Chrysler just made it up, to sound more luxurious and exclusive. Especially with Ricardo's accent and classy demeanor. It sounds impressive. Ha!

[@christinabrown8399]

Ricardo Monteblan was a treasure. From ST TOS, to Fantasy Island, back to ST, what an impressive actor!

The Tang moon men family commercials were around at the latter part of the Apollo Program, and the moon landings gave them quite a boost. The Tang makers claimed that their product went up with the astronauts, but the only thing that the program said was that it was an orange drink. The astronauts weren't enthusiastic about what they were drinking. The best thing about this commercial to me today is that they were gathering moon rocks to trade with Earthlings for Tang! With all the stuff that we've learned from the moon rocks, I'll bet anyone in any space agency like NASA or ESA, would give their ears for a bag full of moon rocks! Especially since there's more of some materials in the rocks than on Earth!

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

I couldn't hear the comments, next time maybe turn the volume down on the commercials a little. I grew up with all these commercials and some are honestly cringe while others are strikingly effective. "That's a spicy meat ball!" was a total meme before they invented meme's. Same for "I can't believe I ate the whole thing...." and "Hey Mikey!" and "Sorry, Charlie!" I think the Mikey kid made a career from takeoffs on the commercial. A few points that might not be obvious -- the Big Mac was a new product in the late 60's and it was way different from any burger on the market thus the jingle to tell people what's in it was amazingly effective at stimulating sales. "Have it your way" rings today for BK. And I realize none of the panel could possibly understand the Tang commercial since there's no Tang anymore...short story, the astronauts couldn't take orange juice into space so Tang was invented. Think powdered orange juice. Think about how awful that sounds. Double it. Kids would ask for it because the astronauts drank it. The astronauts brought back rocks from the moon, thank god they left the tang there.

Those jingles stick in your head forever

[@AzaleaLala]

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

The one with "Mother Nature" was another margarine add (Fake VS natural) You really need to see the entirety of these commercials to get the full context. I remember every single one!

[@laurab68707]

I remember every single one of them. That was fun!

[@shallowgal462]

I hated that so many were just clips and quickly got cut off instead of showing the whole thing. 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.
