He will stop cheating on me if I only learn to make a decent cup of coffee
+isabel Geddes XDD
lmfao so sad but funny
+isabel Geddes he will never stop cheating on you
Isabel, yes - that's right. It was such a strong subliminal message, wasn't it?
Karen Brown lol. Who were they kidding back then?
Apparently, no one in the 1960s could make decent coffee.
That poor broad lol
No one could make decent coffee in the 60's, EXCEPT Mrs. Olsen! Thanks for the laugh!
+MattExzy He was doing those girls in the Office Too.
csifwtt Big purses, with toolbox worthy catches.
Elouise Scott no one in the 60s could do anything
Instant folgers saved marriages in the 60s.
Boomer here. I still love instant Folgers for iced coffee. 😃
@1tiercel I don't do Instant, But I only drink Folger's coffee.
Folgers Axel Oil will MAGA
@@waterheaterservices Ah, Yes,yes it will.
😂😂
*everybody gangsta till the girls at the office start using folgers*
Hahahahahahaha.. hahahahahahaha.
Montclair ,because I like my poison smoooooth.
@Michael Tucker it was a joke relevant 2 years a go. its time to let go, i know its hard times right now, but you have to move on.
Necro thread back from the dead
😂😂😂😂😂😂
"I wish somebody would invent a ketchup bottle that squirts where you aim it."
Wait about 20 years...
she was Looking for a "Facial" (Sorry, I Had Too)Lol
Go ahead...pop it!
But still no dog that wipes its feet.
I use Bounty paper towels and they do not work that well!
Now we just need a puppy that can wipe its own feet lol
But its really ironic to see that a ketchup squirt bottle was considered an impossible invention back then
Harvey can make his own damn coffee.
Elise Mariolis Seriously!!! 😂
I was thinking this exact same thing
He can't, he's a 60's man. It's not his job, woman!
Lol
Love it!!!
He only loves her when her coffee tastes good. I'm guessing they were divorced by 1972, lol.
Typical sexist views of the 60s.
It was an exaggeration, dry humor.
But, they got re-married by 1974, when she started using Maxwell House. Good, to the last decree.
THEY MUST HAVE CHANGE THE INGREDENTS CUZ INSTANT TASTES LIKE SHIT😂😂
@Fast Times can we take the femist shots out of it for one this commercials are tame second of all not every woman exspecially woc looks at making there man food or drink as anti feminist and subservent the point of feminisim was to give women choice well this is a choice if a woman wants to do things for her man she can
2:40 anyone else think that this was going to be a commercial for the first squeezable ketchup bottle?
Yes, that's exactly what I thought it would advertise!
Yes
Nope. Because I remember when they released that. XD
We didn't have plastic bottles of that type back then and the ketchup was probably 50% less water than now
@@JeddorianJalapenoA tomato is like 99% water
Lol I'm weird but for some reason I like the white noise in the background of old timey TV
+zakiah tukes I like the push-up bras........who is weirder?
+Greg Haas lol.. The pointy ones? Definitely you 😄😄
+zakiah tukes Scotties tissues. No casual visitor to PornHub should be without them.
"How is Noise White My Sista?
Your not the only one
I would love to see one of these commercials just randomly in the super-bowl at halftime!
As long as it's not a cigarette ad. 😊
😂
Luis Reyes - I wouldn't mind cigarette ads as long as they were honest:
"Guaranteed to give you lung cancer or your money back".
@@kiwitrainguy So true. Cigarettes killed my dad, and I never got to tell him how I felt about him.
@@thepeternetwork Oh bullshit,..you had your whole life to do it.
"I'm grandma"
"im grandpa"
Ironically, they all actually are.
that ain't irony mate
@@pencildead6449Technically, it is. When those kids said that, they were mimicking the grandparents of that era, their own in particular. Now, they're the grandparents.
Hence - Irony.
@@aclarkson9368 what does that have to do with irony?
@@pencildead6449 Do you not understand what irony is?
I love how that woman's birthday surprise for her husband is serving him Folger's coffee. LOL
That's more than most men would ever get these days.
I was trippen when they were drinking coffee at night with dinner for his BIRTHDAY. I couldn't
I was born in November, 1959. Grew up with ALL these ads
That's really awesome man! Nostalgic?
Who else watches these because they need a break from soulless modern advertisements
ME!!!!! I thought I was being weird, but really I watch these commercials because it reminds me of a simpler, calmer time, happier time. These days everything is so face paced and competitive. Everyone is so judgmental and angry, or sad and depressed, even children suffering from depression. It's really a shame what the world has become 😢
@@tcr5241I like these commercials, because they’re mostly just fun to watch. Me, a 16 year old, just find these terrific to watch sometimes. Better than some of the crap we get now.
Plus, it's refreshing to see white males in ads.
Lol what makes you think these are any less soulless?
@@jonathanjohnson9611 You might be too young to remember the old days, everything started to get shitty after mobile phones became largely available
I love how the people in these old commercials never got freaked out when a voice appeared out of nowhere to advertise their product to the consumer--to solve the problem they were complaining about.
Good point, I hadn't thought about it, but everybody was scared (cold war) around then before a voice came out of nowhere.
That is how commercials were.
2:57 I'm pretty sure Bounty didn't clean up ketchup that well.
I’m going to say by experience it does not. 😀
It was reversed
But still old bounty commercials is cool
At least they were in glass bottles
So it DIDN'T absorb like magic XD
9:56 The early ASMR days of Baggies food wrap bags
I was looking for this comment!! And it’s actually pretty satisfying
C R U N C H
ASMR for some, misophonia for others, small American flags for all!
that thing is actually exist since 1940s. didn't remember the commercial
That nyquil commercial was pretty amazing for its time!
Probably a lot more potent back then. 🥴
People who use that stuff for hedonistic purposes are weird.
@@badcornflakes6374excuse me what?
The reach for the bottle was cool!
It reminds me of modern NyQuil commercials
Ever since I watched these commercials, I've been drinking Folgers; brushing with Crest; eating BBQ, and cake; washing my hair; etc. The effects of clever marketing. LOL.
You don't smoke, do you? 🚬
I always go back to "CREST."
cringe
And, I learned to swig Ny-Quill. Lol.
@@luisreyes1963 never started
The facts that those kids in the second commercial are most likely actual grandparents now is so mesmerizing to me. Like damn, 1960 was 61 years ago!
That's life it sucks but we all get a turn
Geeez! Did you have to point that out!?!?!😅😂🤣🤣
Idk about grandparents, but they're surely old now.
@@larry7124I'm not old, I'm 25
@@annaborbon5425One hopes so. Nothing is guaranteed
if my man had attitude over coffee id tell him to get his ass up and make his own
Thats whats wrong with this new generation.
He'd probably do it better than you.
D.O.P. 57 lol I doubt it
Joseph Barraza ??? That women are stronger than men and actually defend theirselves now? ok boomer.
Sure you would
Well that's pretty harsh! WELL SO IS YOUR COFFFFEEEEE. I'm literally wheezing
Me too lmao! Like damn G
@@simmerguy813 People back in the 60's had better roasts then Gen Z.
AutoTalk right! 😂😂
It looks like a Twilight Zone ep
I spit out my Folgers coffee, at that!
Hey , guys! You are all invited to my house for coffee and cake! Don't worry, I only use Folgers coffee and I wouldn't dream of making a cake without using gold medal enriched flour. I made more than enough, you can even take some home in baggies for the kids . Afterward, we can all brush our teeth with Crest toothpaste. XD
+Velchat3 You're a good citizen. Do you invest in U.S. Savings Bonds, too?
Oh of course! Lol
Wouldn't you use that Pillsbury cake mix instead? Much easier!
After a smoke and more coffee THEN Crest
And clean up with Bounty!
Paper towel commercials havent changed theyre still shown to have physics defying absorbant power
P77777777 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣too true 👍🏴
i wanna revive the 60s because 60s is my favorite decade
These ads are more informative than what we have this generation
One does tend to forget that a lot of the products we take for granted now were new at one time...what's also funny is how many of these don't exist anymore
" Honey, I love your hair, it feels like hair."
It makes hair feel like hair.
Well she probably uses Ozon Fluid Net hair spray! The hair spray that makes hair feel like hair
My mother used ozone depletion spray and the towel she draped over her shoulder held shape over all the years and could stand up if leaned against the wall.lol
🤣😂🤣😂
The good old days. Folgers coffee Montclair cigarettes honey smelling hair. Uh wheres my tang
Damn you could get hella airtime back in the day apparently
I'm pretty sure Don Draper didn't make any of these ads though.
yeah
Hey Primm 🌺
thats because people weren't greedy back then!
You could have hella of a life too. Today the majority of the populace is agro, gender confused, fear obsessed, like telling others how they should think, no comedy, self important Woke’s and paced for Starbucks addicted men and women who live like their still adolescents childless spinsters. It sucks.
Nobody:
Absolutely No One:
Harvey: *b a d t a s t e*
Harold lol
g o o d t a s t e
I would kiss you goodbye honey, but your lips will taste like that gagnastic rot-guy sewer drain tasting coffee you just tried to poison me with.
Love you honey, see you tonight, buh bye.
It's 2019, and how little has changed. I remember when a lot of these commercials were airing. The same tactics are used now as then. In 1965 it was making people insecure about their coffee. Now in 2019, it's about making them insecure about their choice of internet provider. Do yourself a favor, ignore it all.
Year 2020. Commercials are making people depressed and kill themselves
But crest reduces 42% of cavities
@@rurekvibe9373 Because they say "ask your doctor" 5000 times a day?
@@bobbyfrancis8957 yes
Don't forget, switch out cigarette ads and replace them with prescription medicine, including side effects.
Man: “The women at the office make better coffee on their hot plates” oh yeah? When it comes to the following morning... Man: “Honey where is my coffee???!!” Wife: “The women in the office have it ready for you on their hot plates” 👌
"And the mailman knows what a clitoris is, what's your point?" I don't think I'd have ever survived the 60s, my husband definitely would have killed me.
@@Juliet_Capulet The milkman too.
@@Juliet_Capulet Omg I'm dead!!! Bahahahahaa!
Juliet Capulet my mom said the same thing... she would’ve told those men to make it themselves or go to the office and get your coffee.
Good one 👍
Original NyQuil~the Green Death!!! Loved it and could not sleep without in the winter when I was in high school~LOL!!!
I almost married a woman who could've been Raquel Welch's twin but she didn't use Folgers coffee. That was a close one!!!
LOL funny!
Do you still have her number? I'm not a coffee drinker so it's all good with me! LOL
I love these old commercials because they are like watching mini movies...it’s just like the opening theme songs/credits to 60s-80s shows...mini movies. Thanks for the memories!
Ps, that was the GOOD NYQUIL... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Back when commercials actually showed you the product
Some things in life both feel good, -
and hurt like hell at the same time.
Especially nostalgia.
That was a cake my mom made for my birthday when I was little. Back then it was four or five children and a mom to help with the games. No three ring circus with 75 people. Half of them adults getting drunk at a childs birthday party like today.
shout out to crest for using black actors in the 60s
Sjw BULLSHIT
D.O.P. 57 are you mad that crest was progressive??
✊🏿 yes made me 😊
"CREST" still is the best toothpaste.
@@dr.migalitoloveless1651 It's not much of an SJW issue since black people really did get so little attention on TV in the 50s-60s.
The fifties and sixties were a simpler time, i wish i could go back and live out a day, (disguised of course)
That precious baby girl is probably fifty years old now. The Beech-Nut baby.
Over 60 now.
I grew up in the 60s and I love these commercials
A hairspray called "Ozone". Now there's some irony.
At least she had the courtesy to remove the nest from her head in the theater.
That's right up there with Aids the weight loss candy.
I m surprised there weren't more comments for this one
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
I feel so much calmer idk why
"Over 2,000 babies tested Beechnut food." Wow, that must have been one loud testing room!
Diaper change marathon. Lol.
And Brady bunches of baby food!
Or experimental
Child of the 60s here; those (and the 70s) were the best days!
And I don't have to "Ask my doctor" about any of this.
but than again a lot of dubious claims or straight up lies were told in these times too. Unregulated ingredients and straight up hiding the truth was rampant as well. Just because having to ask your doctor wasnt standard doesn't mean everything was safe and pure. it just means capitalistic greed wasn't quite as greedy and reckless in these times.
I laughed at the bounty commercial cause someone DID invent a ketchup bottle that aims wherever you squirt it. It's amazing how many of these brands are still around.
"Nice shooting, Anne - but at least my teeth aren't rotting out of my head as we speak!"
These commercials remind me of the twilight zone lol
Which one? 'I Sing the Body Electric?'
Because it’s Greyscaled?
@@SoundJudgment all lol
Virginia Christine was in the "Escape Clause" Twilight Zone episode.
They had pretty weird characters knight on a white horse and a white tornado.
these old commercials are so simple, i would buy everything
Apparently no one in the 1960s could make a good cup of coffee
It's true. Everyone drank instant or perked the heck out of it. Drip coffeemakers came along in the 60s.
Mason Adams is the announcer for Pillsbury Deluxe Golden Yellow Cake Mix....and the "Baggies" ad; Virginia Christine was "Mrs. Olson" in the Folger's Coffee ads; Gene Blakely (who occasionally appeared on "BEWITCHED" as Darrin's friend Dave- who NEVER listened to a word he'd say!) is "George" [12:12]. The "Ozon Fluid Net" spots were seen in 1964.
And, that was M. Emmett Walsh, swilling Ny Quil. Late, great character actor. Played sports writer, Dickie Dunn, in Slapshot, with Paul Newman. And, many more..
I knew that voice sounded familiar. He also did the Cadbury Egg and Smuckers ads in the 80's.
That microphone quality in the 1960's is way better than my phone's microphone from 2018
After struggling at work for 10 hours, who wants to come home and bake a cake?
***** You don't even know me or what you're talking about. What kind of NERD posts a ship on their profile picture? You're probably and old-assed lonely man and this the only attention you get from women. Go finish building your ship in a bottle or whatever you do at 5:45AM.
***** I've been married for 19 years and three months, but that's fine.
Cake is good though. That's all I'm saying.
I do now eat my cake!
Didn't you hear? "She has to be herself sometimes. How? Baking!" 16:54
What week 5 of quarantine has me doing.
I was not around in the 60s, but I am a person who appreciates our past culture
@Michael O Callaghan chill out man. Theres good and bad to everything. Theres bad stuff around today, that doesn't mean life sucks. There's always going to be bad things but I personally enjoy looking at the bright side of things. Positivity is a life changer. (I think you should try it sometime 😉)
@Michael O Callaghan If you truly believe what you just said, why do you put the 1960s in such a negative light? Of course there was a lot of bad, but a lot of good still happened and deserves to be addressed as well.
And it’s just getting worse not better. We’re currently living that reality.
The 60s looked cool
@Mike lol the majority of what you described still exists in 2021. If not worse.
That Pillsbury cake ad really made that cake look good af. I want some.
My aunt can whip up cakes just as good as the ones seen on TV, regardless of cake mix brand. 🍰
It is amazing more wives did not scald their husbands with the coffee.
I thought so too
the husbands next cup will taste like rat poison if he keeps that shit up
It was their job. Then the husband would go work to pay the bills.
Ikr!?😂
Amazing to hear Thayer David narrating the Vicks NyQuil commercial!
Professor Stokes!
Oh back when they called Mouth Wash Oral Antiseptic
Listerine still does.
Advertisers always come up with fancy names for stuff:
Toilet Paper = Bathroom Tissue
Butcher = Meat Vendor
That's all I can think of for now.
Remember Dr. Tichners
"I wish someone would invent a ketchup bottle that would squirt where you aimed it!"
Best I can do is paper towels, take it or leave it
Maybe Harvey won't have to cheat on you if you could make decent coffee. ☕ ☕.
it's ok, when Harvey is out drinking coffee, I will be over his drinking coffee.
Give him Folgers coffee to drink.
But don't drink Bovril that day if he decides to go nasty in bed tonight.
They should make these again. Much better than what we have today.
@@UQRXDnot so fun now, is it
Nostalgia is a seductive liar.
These kids are all 70 now 😓😩
No born in 1960 makes you 60
I enjoy watching classic TV commercials as a way to relax and remember warm memories.
This video is ine of my favorite - i always come back to iy.
60s commercials were mellow and soothing.
when u actually got a BIG roll of towels
Ozon for "hair that feels like... hair" as it depletes the ozone layer.
Small price to pay for beauty.
I mean they called it Ozon for a reason.
@@AnastasiaLUVSU YUP! Brain and air poison.
I remember my mother using that crap. I couldn't walk in the bathroom until an hour later.
Isn't it ironic, don't you think?
Back when watermelons actually had SEEDS.
YES !!! AND IT WAS SWEET . SEEDLESS SUCKS !!!
Depends on which ones you get. My grocery store sells both seedless and regular.
@@renee3351 The seedless ones aren't as sweet, or as darker red as the seeded ones. I will try a seedless from BJ's, Aldi's and my fruit +veg. store.
@@unclebillmusic The ones I've had recently have been so sweet and completely seedless, and they were very bright and vibrant. The ones with seeds can be sweet but they aren't nearly as bright and vibrant
@@colleenkyle7741 I understand exactly what you mean by bright and vibrant . outside and inside. I remember when seedless came out. It's okay, but I've always liked the darker red and black seeds. But I wonder > does where they grow make a difference ? I'm from N.Y.
-That's pretty harsh.
-Well so is your coffee.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
2:43 cracks me up because you think its going to be a Ketchup commercial advertising a new bottle thats easier to use but nope.
Mrs. Olsen was the woman who worked in the art gallery and was fired by the mom in the driveway for being tacky about her daughter marrying an AA in “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.”
Imma get Folger coffee see if I can fix my toxic relationship
In the coffee justice system, coffee based offenses are considered especially heinous. In the mountains, the dedicated baristas who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Coffee Victims Unit. These are their stories.
You forgot the "DONK, DONK"
LOL!
Perc-fect 👌🏻
This is something Huggbees would say
Thank you Dick Wolf.
I bet NyQuil had some serious fun ingredients back in them days.
Always Love checking out Old Commercials 🐋⚘️❣️
Why was this so calming to watch for some reason 😌
1:44 I'M DYING! THE WAY THAT KID SAID "I'M DADDY" 😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭
The grandma one was cool too.

Yeah.. Anything can happen or go down at any second.It feels like a bad caffeine deal,thats just about to go sour, at the drop of uncool cat daddys hat..lol

Wow. Seeing a cigarette commercial from back in the 60's is a bit unsettling considering what we know today about it.
John Malcolm People just lived their lives and the few snowflakes that complained got their ass kicked. Now everyone whines about everything.

Wait... There was a hairspray that was pronounced like "ozone"?!
Yup and no lacquer either,oooh.
🤯🤯🤯like they knew what they were doing and didnt care
@@Leci1877 don’t think they knew about that stuff and its effect on the atmosphere back then
@@korzhikmorzhik Oh they very much did
OZONE caught my attention as well. My jaw dropped, it's so deliberate. Why do humans need a hairspray to begin with? Oh yeah because a pretty face hired by the ad agency sold it. My mom's generation bought it hook, line, and sinker.
I loved the old tv commercials from the 50s and 60s and the 70s
Idk why but this is relaxing me
omg thank society and women's lib for progress!
Your coffee can,t keep a man around and your toilets suck.
I can’t believe how long commercials used to be
People’s attention spans were longer back then.
Great picture quality on these old commercials.
I worked for a major network TV station and I remember some of these ads. Sure takes me back!...16mm film with sprocket holes and optical sound. Swiped a bunch of them from the film dept's trash can when they were done airing. Still have them around somewhere.
Message from the 1960s: Girls, If you want to keep a husband, learn to make coffee!
☑️
Keep a clean happy home and mind her manners too
Back again to enjoy!!
Jesus, did the woman in the first commercial dunk entire cans of frosting on that cake?
10:01 ASMR AT IT'S FINEST.
ASMR before ASMR was ASMR
ASMR ,?????
Why are all these people taking part in toothpaste tests with their friends?
GAAAY!
The Crest people are paying them to do it.
Because shitty marketing
Wedding vows back then also involved making coffee.
I'm wondering if it was just one test lollol.
Them men can make there own coffee
The men in these commercials were probably WWII vets, and probably got flashbacks from bad coffee. They could defeat Hitler, but couldn’t make coffee.
There were no commercials for Viagra, producing uncomfortable moments for parents and their 6 year old kids.
or Commercial For Feminine Hygiene product's, for a Little Girl to Ask,"Mommy what Are Tampons For"And "wear do you put those"?
Jay Honeck 😱
I have never seen a viagra commercial on PBS kids, nick, disney or cartoon network. what kind of shows are you letting your kids watch?
and if they're old/mature enough to watch shows sponsored by viagra or feminine hygiene companies, I think theyre old enough to learn about their own body. God forbid you have to raise your own children so they know about the facts of life. And god forbid you not have tv to pass the blame onto for feeling embarrassment from what inevitably comes with being a parent.
if you werent too embarrassed to have sex/get pregnant/get someone else pregnant/keep the baby/give birth, you should definitely be confident enough to tell them where babies come from when they start asking.
@@quentinkirk3870 In the 1980s there were commercials for Pamprin, ONLY women would advertise them. I thought, "What are they for?" Saw them later in the store. I'm a woman in my sixties and I never bought them.
Back then it was Spanish fly.
I'm gen z but I'm so interested in commercials from near 1940s-1980s, I'm a sucker for old commercials
I remember watching all those commercials from the sixties a blast from the past.
