- “I Like Ike,” 1952
Dwight D. Eisenhower (R) vs. Adlai Stevenson (D)
The year 1952 ushered in the TV election ad wars, fighting to win the hearts and minds of Americans. With music by Irving Berlin, the highly likeable “I Like Ike" was produced by Walt Disney’s brother Roy at the Disney Studios.
Studies show that when it comes to political advertising, we feel first and think later. So the most impactful campaign ads aim for our hearts-fear, anger, hope and pride-and they run the gamut from stirring to downright dirty. I Approve This Message, an exhibition about the emotional impact of political advertising in a landscape altered by the internet, was scheduled to open at the New-York Historical Society in September 2020. The COVID-19 lockdown halted those plans, but we want to share a few of the exhibition’s ads, particularly as we head towards election day on Nov. 3, 2020.

Haha

Good one
If CZcams was a thing in the 50s:
Exactly because the L is for people who don’t become president
I love how the worst thing they said about Eisenhower’s opposite was “let Adlai go the other way”.
Absolutely brutal
It’s gonna be nothing compared to what we’re gonna get with ai eventually, probably in the next election or 2.
@@RipplyAnemone67 Political ads already suck. How is AI supposed to change that?
@@nuclearpotato4073 Could actually be pretty funny at first. People tend to jump the gun with what AI is ready for, so I could see some rather hilarious screw ups if they trust AI too fast. For an example of how it can go disastrously wrong in other fields, look at the Roborace self driving car.
Not that we can't probably pull it off eventually, but people get way over excited thinking this stuff is a lot closer than it is and push it through before it is ready.
Adlai Stevenson was a damn good man and would've made a damn good President. However, He & Eisenhower STILL DIDN'T TAKE THE OTHER GUY PERSONALLY and sincerely believed in accomplishing things that helped The Working Man & Woman !
Wow. The jingle is perfectly engineered to get stuck in your head for days.
Might've contributed to his success in the polls.
Yeah, it certainly worked for me 70 years later.
So good.
if i was on the fence about ike before watching this it'd make me fucking hate him lol
Exactly
No way he can lose with such a bop
A meme before the internet
I miss the days when political ads were like this instead of massive smear campaigns against their opponents
Also creative and fun.
Ads like these are so much fun to watch. I wasn't born until the late 1970s. I would love to see political ads like this these days.
They did both lol
“i miss when presidential ads were cartoons that didn’t discuss policy and were just a song and dance”
@@fshhh Yes, exactly
The happy elephant is my favorite part LOL
Same
The elephant represents the Republican Party. And the donkeys in 0:17 represents the Democrats.
It gives me 60s Dr. Seuss cartoon vibes for some reason
American people: I like Ike
Swedish people: I like Ikea
Ike’s got my vote
mine too
is it too late to vote for Ike?
Good
@@Brand0n3500Official no
@@Brand0n3500Official we will eternally vote for ike.
He's the definition of role model.
You know you’re in for something good when the candidate’s name starts bouncing at the start 😂
"I Like Ike" vs "Whatever Adlai Was Doing"
I Like Ike was way better since they hired some Disney people to the song and animation
Also, what a 1950s Roast: 0:35
"Adlai go the other way"
So that’s why the elephant looks so much like one of the ones from Jungle Book
0:36
If a president had a commercial like this i wouldn't think it twice and i would vote for him/her
**Ike intensifies**
I remember finding I like Ike pins in my grandmas drawer in her bedroom and had no clue what that meant.
😂😂😂😂 Now you know lol
@@maduzor1053 Yeah, at that age my mind was thinking it meant something dirty that I didn't get. 😂😂
@@ericbogar9665 oh really😂😂😂 Don’t worry. Grandma was a nice respectable lady😂😂😂
70 years and I still like Ike
Ike could have been either Republican or Democrat just fine, running as a Republican just made sense strategically in '52 since the Democratic party had been in power for 20 straight years at that point and Truman left office incredibly unpopular. Still governed in a mostly New Deal fashion, too.
I mean, not really? None of what you said was wrong, but Ike was the guy who ended World War 2 in most peoples minds back then. The popularity of the current president also wouldn’t have mattered because he had spoken out against Truman before, so he was already distanced from his presidency. It would’ve also been a major boost to be honest. The man who won us the war running for the party that ended the Nazis, that’s a pretty powerful image of you ask me.
Nah, Ike was strong on protecting the border and vigorously fought the military industrial complex. Ike was no democrat.
@@Gryphind0r yes he could've. This might come as a shock to you, but politics were quite a bit different 70 years ago.
Ike was a military strategist first and foremost. In an ideal world, he would have run as an Independent.
@@olefredrikskjegstad5972 Eisenhower was a moderate Republican, but he wasn't really a liberal, more bridging the gap between the two factions in the GOP at the time. Even though the liberal Democrats, (led by FDRs son) sought to make a Democrat out of Eisenhower, because he was popular and his politics where unknown, trying to get him to run in the primary against Truman, he refused. He could have been a Democrat, if he was one, but he wasn't.
We need more ads like this--simple, catchy, and doesn't spend the whole time pointing at the other guy :)
This was one of the first TV political ads. The medium itself was the message. (Kind of like Trump's Twitter, just, a whole lot more innocent). Since TV is a mature medium, and people are getting exhausted with modern telecommunications anyway, this would not work today. You'd get laughed at.
That doesn't mean that every ad needs to be about how this could be the last election you'll ever get to have (even when it's true...). I like what RFK Jr is doing, I just think it's a bit premature. Maybe if he runs again in 28 he'll win. Just whatever we do, we can't let this be our last election. (Vote blue. I'm tired of them too, hopefully this is the last time we have to).
(A message about how modern they were, that is)
I might vote for this “Ike” guy…
Were making out of the voting booth with this banger 🗣🗣🗣🗣📢📢📢📢📢📢🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is the HD Remaster we've been waiting for
My grandparents were teenagers when this ad came out!! 😂😂
My grandparents weren't even alive 😁😁 Funny how unique familial generation gaps are lol
My grandparents were in their 30s.
My paternal grandparents, both long deceased, were kids when this came out. While my maternal grandparents weren’t even born yet.
I love how the whole point is just "yeah, literally everybody ikes this guy. We know you were gonna vote for him anyways."
Eisenhower ‘52: Lets Get Bizzay
I just found out about this three days ago and I had to come back and listen to it because it got stuck in my head like 17 times.
He was one of the last greatest republican president we've had in office.
my favorite part of his presidency was him backing the overthrowing of South-American governments and instating capitalist dictators
@@judehutchinson8355 you have to protect democracy from communism one way or another ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@Malikses yes… democracy…
@@Malikses And what resulted was a dictatorship that killed thousands, mainly the Mayan people.
Eisenhower's domestic policy:😀
Eisenhower's foreign policy: 😨
(Yes, I know that also applies to many Cold War Presidents, but still.)

Now is the time for all good Americans to come to the aid of their country.
For the 3 of you who recognized this phrase from Freaked, you have my respect
Great video!!!!
I wish political ads were still like this, all we see now is both candidates lying about each other and acting like babies.
Yeah, instead of having ads for presidents usually stating relative truth, I like ads with absolutely nothing informative at all. Just a catchy jingle repeating "I like Ike, Ike for president" like a broken record. haha
yeah, why are they talking about policies now, wish we went back to the good old days, when they spent their time trying to create catchy songs to fool the public
@@manaspradhan8041 the problem is they dont talk about politics. Trump literally had an add where they claimed biden was a zombie
@@raven4617 czcams.com/video/oihV9yrZRHg/video.html, skip to 6:50 and tell me this guy is normal.
@@gotrump9168 i never said i was a biden supporter, i dont like either. I was using trump as an example. Stoo being so truggered just becaude i mention trump in any kind of bad way
Eisenhower was one of few presidents that didn’t base their entire presidency off of their die hard political party
Eisenhower was possibly the best president of the 20th century.
the greatest american president.
@@adamik2271So you think that Eisenhower was greater than George Washington or Abraham Lincoln? That's an interesting opinion.
@@johnbowen2956 yes
@@johnbowen2956 those 2 where just in the right place at the right time, neither nearly as competent as Eisenhower
@@adamik2271 If you truly believe that Eisenhower was more competent as President than either Washington or Lincoln, I am stunned and can say nothing.
You equate Eisenhower's administration with Washington's which significantly help establish the notion of republicanism in the United States. And you equate Eisenhower's administration with Lincoln's administration which firmly suppressed a rebellion whose primary goal was the defense of slavery.
Right. Eisenhower was ever so much more competent than either Washington or Lincoln.
my brother showed me this form his A push project it is now in my head
Im putting this on a playlist 🔥
Love this history song
Ike created the interstate! Love Ike
I'm trying to remember back if I have I ever heard this song before. I heard it, I'm just not sure if I heard it in the 1950s or not. I was kind of young then.
I remember this commercial. I was only 1 1/2 years old and did not know who Ike was.
"Let's get bizzay!"
Dwight Eisenhower
He is top 5 best presidents ever
I honestly how many people voted for him because this played in their heads over and over again and convinced them to. Marketing genius imo
1940's kid's liked this well sorta.
WE MAKIN IT OUT OF THE ALLIED EXPEDITIONARY FORCE WITH THIS ONE BOYS
-No one:-
-Not a single soul:-
*EVERYBODY: LIKES IKE*
We need more positive ad like this nowadays
Wish we could get another Republican like ike
I like how the ad must clarify that they like Ike (for president)
IKE INTENSIFIES LMAO
Can i vote for Eisenhower, even if i am not a american citizen?
“Fill out the days and the ways ago” 💀
My Father loved Ike.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. brought me here
Me too
The jingle is just like the president really good
My opinion, Ike was the best president of the 20th century..
AETHER!
Wow, it doesn't help...
Me trying to figure out how Ike is a nickname for Dwight or Eisenhower
For Dwight. (I looked it up)
So, I’m pretty sure his dad had an “ike” nickname for all his sons, and so it’s not really a nickname based off Dwight, but just a nickname in general.
Dwight is similar to Ike. This is why.
I like IKE!
unfortunately, if you voted for Ike you also got Nixon for Vice President.
This video is not properly formatted for the screen..
It seems they like some dude named Ike
I like how he has a massive forehead even in his own advertisement
Can we discuss how "Ike" isn't short for Dwight at all
It was his nickname
It was actually a short for Eisenhower , as other members of his family were also nicknamed Ike
Sixth and seventh day is also a challenge….
Why’d they use the ikea font
when ads were entertaining
Pop smoke hello lol
I think I like Ike
Where can i vote for ike
I won’t recover until the seventh day of cold I’m on my fifth day right now……
This is so good because it was animated by Disney employees.
All my homies agree we like Ike
Now that's what i call revolutionary propaganda
God, imagine watching this for any recent candidate. They'd be laughed off the stage. Imagine if we lived in a world where a presidential candidate was actually liked by a large majority of Americans.
Today we have two major candidates one of which is liked by about one half of the country and other one despised by the vast majority yet still gets the other half of the vote because he's not the other guy 😂
Recently world politics is getting more polarized, for example in Brazil 50% like Bolsonaro and 50% like Lula, and in the US, 50% like Trump and 50% like Biden
Anybody here because of "Daniel H.Pink".
Roman Jakobson brought me here
I still like IKE...
I like Ike🏴🇮🇪🤝🇺🇸🇺🇸
Funniest thing is that this might be seen as satire if it was made about a modern day president
I came here from Jeffrey Archer: Kane and Abel novel
Boy, where r u when we need u ike...😢
Mr anderson in beavis n buttthead do america

what do those three donkeys (besides being the democratic symbol) represent?
Edit: John, Dean, and Harry Truman.
John = John Sparksman Dean = Dean Acheson
Ike sold humanity to the Zeti Reticulan Greys though.
