Tv commercials from the 40's and 50's

[@felinesandflowers]

Such fun, lovely illustrations, good music, imaginative, and the people were well spoken and well dressed

[@byrd56]

13:48--Pat Boone and Dinah Shore...two different singers who had variety shows on two different networks...both were sponsored by Chevrolet.

[@JJJBRICE]

Impressive . One nameplate division . It shows what a goliath GM was . Not to mention there other nameplates i.e. Pontiac , Buick , etc. with their own shows .

[@hollya.g.86]

This commercial in particular is bizarre, a commercial riffing on subliminal advertisement. I wonder if it common knowledge that subliminal advertising was being developed around that time. I feel like this would be good for an essay on psych history

[@dwightpowell6673]

Why didn't Chevrolet sponsor the Nat King Show.

That 1957 Chevrolet truck commercial was one of the best ever. Won many awards for GM for it's great poetry alone.

[@armorybrunotjr.3204]

Voiceover provided by the then-voice of Chevrolet, Joel Aldred.

[@tonimccoy1115]

I enjoyed this so much! I was born in 1959 so these were all older than me, however I do remember the Cracker Jack commercial! It must have run for years lol. I look forward to watching everything you have!!

[@5argetech56]

47:46 But I still remember the Cracker Jacks commercials with Jack Gilford. They always made me laugh!

[@jchow5966]

Fun!!!!!! I love vintage commercial from the 40s to the 80s. More please!!!!!!!

Well who would have thought, we’d actually appreciate watching the commercial! 😚

Well, that movie demolition man, for one.

Really? Because the real sad part is all the garbage they left behind, and radium.

Volkswagen Beetles were good cars when they were made in Germany. Their quality nosedived when they made them in Mexico

[@bobbyfrancis8957]

At 28:00, we bought this popcorn at the Thriftymart, but it was called Jiffy Pop, and we cooked it on the stove.

[@ev4898]

What is jiffy pop?

[@bobbyfrancis8957]

@@ev4898 In the 1960s, it was an aluminum pan with its own popcorn kernels and handle, and you cooked it on the stove after taking the cardboard top off, and the aluminum on it got bigger and bigger as it popped; a commercial in the 1960s used to show that.

[@ev4898]

Interesting?

[@tonimccoy1115]

It was fun to make as kids. You had to constantly shake it back and forth across the stove burner so it wouldn't burn. Yes, the commercial would show the aluminum on top blowing up like a balloon

[@oliviajohnjohnolivia8142]

I found my uncles jiffy pop in the attic.I hope it is good to use now.

[@texaspchcmonkeespodcast4586]

The Butter Nut Coffee Commercial...the pure unadulterated genius of Stan Freberg. Man I miss him!!

[@lestersabados1306]

The uncle that the narrator loved very much got the kid to smoke by the warm memory of Robert Burns and wearing the band. Pleasant way to get cancah

[@arthureverett8220]

They don’t make wind up watches or alarm clocks anymore. They all run on batteries I had a portable wind up Victrola when I was a kid. I got laughed off the beach when I played a Guy Lombardo version of Boo Hoo record on the Victrola

[@kkmkkm-jj7wc]

These are so FUN to watch😊! It's crazy how some of the commercials were a bit longer than what we are used to today 😄. But for how entertaining they are, I wouldn't mind😎👍! I also find it funny that with the cigarette commercials that they can smoke it, but with the beer commercials they can't drink it😄😄

[@bobbyfrancis8957]

kkm35 kkm35 - I never understood that as a small child, why the TV commercial would show this cartoon Hamms bear and talking about Hamms beer that's really meant for adults? Does the cartoon mean kids can have it too? I don't think so.

[@arthureverett8220]

The alcohol does more damage in short time than cigarettes

[@markkracht9413]

That was the 40’s. At least kids knew what sex they were. This is a much more disturbing time.

[@hebneh]

There's nothing from the 1940s here. All these ads are from the 1950s into the middle 1960s.

[@21CCommunIT]

Well... television as we know it really didn't start to blossom until the late 1940s/1950s. So while there commercials in the 40s, the memorable ad campaigns really didn't emerge until the 50s. Although none of that explains the title of this video - for that, I got nothin'... 🤔🙄

[@hebneh]

@@21CCommunIT There aren't many existing television shows from the 1940s still around for us to look at either.

I remember the Hertz commercials with the flying OJ Simpson. Hertz pulled that commercial when OJ was arrested for murder His movies were also pulled from broadcast

[@dwightpowell6673]

OJ was found not guilty by a jury of his peers.

[@m0rShh]

It's interesting to see a Keds ad aimed at boys, it's generally thought of more as a women's brand these days. I don't think they even make men's Keds anymore.

[@hebneh]

"Join the millions who find Rheingold Beer - extra dry!" That's the final line of the last commercial, which got cut off here.

[@jeffwolcott7815]

The Chinese baby Jello commercial was banned from TV before I was born. The Aunt Jemima commercials were banned recently

He must have sifted through a lot of flea markets to find these films. .

[@elc1960]

All these commercials are available on various DVD collections of old TV commercials. They're on Mill Creek Entertainment's 1001 Classic Commercials set, and also on Madacy's Classic TV Commercials set. Probably on many others as well.

[@DMCfan189]

that keds ad song is so catchy!

[@Sassyjass2012]

Many of these commercials were added to a Hall of Fame by an organization related to the advertising industry.

[@elc1960]

That dad in the second 1959 Chevrolet ad (the one after Pat Boone and Dinah Shore, at 15:36) is kinda dumb...buys a new car rather than just paying someone to fix the door latches...like getting a shotgun to kill gnats. He's a car salesman's wet dream.

[@soysaucetilapia2893]

can that band-aid fix families though?
