Commercials were so pure and simple, polite and quiet, no irritating Lume lady talking about her nasty pits or underboob.

Network censorship rules were conservative back then which matched society's views.

These commercials are better than most TV shows nowadays

I love this. Those were the days. I remember some of these products and labels. It makes me feel like a kid again.

And in the '60s and '70s, we hated it when our programs were interrupted by ads. Today, we watch 44 consecutive ads and love every minute of it!

My partner pointed this out about me as well. When companies respected their customers, it really showed in the advertising. Keep that in mind when you see modern ads- that's all they think of us.

Everyone talked so well back then

This is a transatlantic accent and it was a speech pattern you LEARNED to be an actor or voice actor back in the day. You can still learn to speak this way but it's fallen out of fashion. It was originally intended to bridge the gap between American movies/TV and British audiences.

Back then people would say, “Everyone spoke so well back then.”

I was born in 1967, so a few of these I haven't seen before. Thank you for sharing these. It's ironic because back then commercials were frustrating to watch, but now decades later these same commercials bring back so many wonderful childhood memories, experiences, moments, and overall feelings of youth. Ironic that now I will sit through close to an hour of them and love every second of it.

Missus here. I haven't thought of Avon cream sachet in years! I got some as a young teen and , oh!, I loved it and thought I was so sophisticated!

It's nice to be able to see old TV shows, but the icing on the cake is the vintage commercials. I've been tracking down commercials from the 50's and on that have nice songs and/or music. There are many of them and commercials from back then had the best by far.

My mom loved working for Bell as an telephone operator in the 60s. 😊

Really love these tv Commercials Brings back the good old days

I Love these type of classic commercials

Bob Warren is seen in this ad about garden hoses. He was a voiceover artiste and was the longtime announcer of "The Lawrence Welk Show" (1955-82). Also two spots for the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company (now Verizon) are featured. The Mustang car spot features Gary Merrill providing the voiceover. Mandel Kramer shills Hostess Donuts. Bob Landers is telling the young generation to 'Come Alive! You're In the Pepsi Generation" from 1964. Joanie Sommers is providing the vocals.

Thanks so much. I enjoyed this. I dont remember all of them...but most. Avon Rapture was my favorite Avon cologne back then. When i got old enough i was an Avon Representative

OMG, I can't believe I just spent 41 minutes watching old commercials. The Volkswagen one was brilliant

For some reason, I like those old ads a lot more than those we have nowadays. Maybe it's the music, maybe the way it's filmed, it's much less annoying.

These were the BEST OF COMMERCIALS I've seen !!!! l do remember most of them.. from 1960 to 68.

17:18- Originally seen in 1965. Featuring Linda {Lori} Sanders [pre-"PETTICOAT JUNCTION'].

The Adorn hairspray commercial was the first one I recognized. And then came along that stinking Colgate commercial I remember too.

Women in these were always seen washing things...dishes, hair, clothes, teeth...

10:15 The bad old days in advertising when companies made health claims that were not true, like this Bosco ad. any vitamin D that the children got was from the milk, not the Bosco. As for energy, a spoon of sugar will do that, and that is not healthy. Even the name, "Milk AMPLIFIER" was misleading, by implying that it somehow increased the nutritional value of milk. 25:15 All donuts float in the cooking oil.

-37:48 Arch Moore was later governor of West Virginia. For years, he was the only Republican elected statewide there, when it was one of America’s most Democratic states.

I need to get me one of those Bell kitchen telephones so I don't burn my fried chicken TV dinner!
