Wish big pharma ads would be banned
Medication ads are such a foreign concept outside of the US from what I’ve heard from European friends
@@_ksm0922I'm from Northern Europe and even asking your doctor for a specific prescription is not a good idea. Not that the Big Pharma couldn't advocate drugs for doctors, that's considered normal.
@@_ksm0922that's why i usually ask my doc if there are any medications (generic mostly) that can still do the trick. but most of the time, the condition the ads pertain to cure were from another underlying non-medical issue that was about as easy as not drinking too much water in one sitting under 15 minutes (supposed to take small sips every few minutes or so throughout the day).
I do,too.
Most don't even make sense--some of them aren't even clear what they are for and spend the majority of the time just cycling through clips of happy people doing happy things while talking about side effects. Like talk to your doctor if this drug is good for you, okay--hay doc is this drug good for me? No-- it's for people with diabetes, you dont have diabetes.
The one "last time" that really hits me is the last time all my friends and I played outside together as kids.........and none of us realized that it was.
It's really makes you stop and think, that kind of notion, doesn't it?
Because it's not even like "the last time you saw [X]" or "the last time you went to [Y]" - which, with effort, you can often look back on and work out when they were.
Instead, it's just about an everyday part of life growing up, which precisely _because_ it's so normal and unremarkable means there's no reason for anyone to register the specific point it must've stopped happening.
The one that I came across just the other month, but which has been living in my head ever since because it's simultaneously so facile and obvious yet so profound and heartbreaking, is this:
_"One day your parents put you down and they never picked you up again."_
@@Somnogenesis Oh man that one does hit hard. Another one of the "small" things from childhood that you realize how bitterly you miss it, especially if your parents are gone now.
@@NordicDan Yes it's almost poetry, but leaves you feeling strangely small and vulnerable and a little 'left behind' - like your observation about the last time you went out and played with all your friends, yet nobody could've known it. It's bittersweet stuff isn't it?
@@Somnogenesis It definitely is. It seems the nostalgia hits even harder once you're middle aged and see the things that you enjoyed as a kid. Probably why I get such a kick out of it when I see my kids enjoying stuff from the late 70s and early 80s.
playing outside as kids just sorta becomes 'hanging out' as you get older
I just want to say. That is crazy that the spouse of an actual Civil War veteran just left us as recently as 2020. The civil war ended in 1865!!😮
Huh
@@b2617 Are u ok? Having trouble reading my comment?
@@Mystery_Man84 yeah who was the spouse?
@@b2617 Watch the video!
It IS crazy! Apparently they wed when he was 93 and she was 17!!! WTF?
PLEASE BRING BACK TIMELINE!
You're making this demand in the comments section of the Weird History channel?
@@emmgeevideoum what?
@@emmgeevideoyou mean the channel that posts those videos?
They ran out of decades lol
Man there’s only so many decades for them to cover
i remember the days of buying a tape rewinder because the vcr would stop rewinding and getting charged an extra buck or 2 for returning the tape before rewinding lol oh how i miss those simple days...
My dad had a tape rewinder that looked like Richard pettys race car lol
We would go on blockbuster but my dad would buy the movies that were for sale we rarely ever rented movies which is crazy... my dad vhs collection range from almost 1000 , I think most are put up now lol
my uncle used to go from town to town @@nenep1872 town and open up movies rental accounts at various store and he would rent and return the movies like normal for a while. then after they got used to him he would rent the absolute max and then never return them lol hes got a storage until crammed pack full of old vhs movies spanning from the early 70s all the up until the last blockbuster and numerous others had shut down in the early 2000s. I cant even fsthom the amount of movies this dude has
We had one too. Supposedly it rewound faster than a regular VCR? So what it took like 3 minutes instead of 7? Our family didn’t even watch movies much. No clue why we needed that thing.
We only had one tape at home, an Indian film called "Hum Hai Rahi Pyar Ke", the rest were rented, but we had a special tape with antifungal liquid used to clean the heads of the VHS
Feeling really nostalgic
I distinctly remember cigarette ads in magazines well into the 80s
Yes in Magazines NOT on TV. He's talking about Cig TV Ads. He displayed the magazine ad in this video for context.
Cig Ads continued well into the early 2000s. Hmm ... all that banning of Ads and people still smoke starting at young ages anyway.
Joe Camel ads were into the 90's I think.
We had Camel ad quotes "I'd walk a mile for a Camel."
I recall TV ads for cigs running past ‘71. Maybe that was in another country? 😳
@@SpressoHead while cigarette ads were banned, other tobacco products were still able to be advertised until some time in the 80's i believe.
Harrison Ruffin Tyler, born in 1928, is the last living grandson of President John Tyler, born in 1790. The last living witness to the Lincoln assassination appeared on an episode of I've Got a Secret in 1956, although there is debate about his veracity.
The last direct descendant of Abraham Lincoln got a vasectomy ending the entire bloodline.
Exactly crazy right
Gavin Arthur was the grandson of President Chester Arthur and died in 1971. He was a sexologist among other things.
Fun Fact: I was an actor/stuntman in the 90's and was in Florida filming a Players Light ad for the Indy car races that got cancelled 3 days into shooting because they passed legislation banning cigarettes as sponsors. As such i never got paid and lost a huge chunk of money.
Yup another reason NASCAR moved on from Winston (Cigarettes) as a sponsor.
Yeah sports sponsorship for smoking went on for ages until the 90s. It wasn't strictly advertising so it got around the rules until then.
The last time I got something from Blockbuster was at the Honeygo Shopping Center in Perry Hall, Maryland. I rented "Duma" (2005) for Thanksgiving 2007
Mine was Heathers, also 2008. Had some younger roommates at the time who were farm kids that were home schooled in the 90's and had never heard of it. Ironically that house was also the first place I ever saw a streaming service, the main occupant's boyfriend didn't live there but had Roku service and we had a box and shared the account. It was the first time I saw that entire seasons of television shows could be watched in one sitting.
I think there's only one Blockbuster Video left.
I no longer remember what the last Blockbuster video I rented was. I do know that I still have VHS tapes of stuff I recorded myself, like stuff from AAFES when I was in the military, and my choices were crazy Japanese gameshows I barely understood with my minimal knowledge of Japanese, or American content with a heavy military influence. The commercials on AAFES were almost on par with Starship Troopers. If I dig out some of my old tapes, I might be able to rewatch such bangers as "The Marine Corps has a Bulldog, the Navy's got a Goat."

I just wish Americans would learn to say years properly. It's two thousand *_and_* twenty four this year, not two thousand twenty four 🤬
Written by the narrator
Cope. The year is two thousand twenty four.
i guess all those cig ads i saw on tv in the 80s were just a dream
Same. Playboy carried Newport cigarette ads into the early 1990s, if memory serves.
And 90s I remember joe camel commercials
I remember during the 90’s, there was this jingle “Give me the feeling, give me the taste, give me the spirit of the USA….”
Yeah I'm with you! I was born in 75 and I watched a lot of cigarette ads until I was almost out of high school. 1993 so yeah this is wrong
The ads were not banned in Canada until 1989
I remembered the tidbit about
A History of Violence being the last VHS. Saw it years ago as a clue on Jeopardy and have never forgot 😂
Or the fact that Disney's last VHS release was CARS!
Very cool. There was a song in 1966 called Western Unio. About? Parents send me money. In 75 I was hospitalized trying to hitch back from Arizona to Chicagoland. I dialed a rotary phone with my palm as I was freezing and was taken to a Denver hospital. Western Union to the rescue....and a Trailways bus ticket was soon purchased taking me home. The last of...cool.
"I flew on Concord to New York from London, and I arrived before I f*cking left!" -Billy Connolly
Fyi, Concord's *only* air accident had nothing to do with the aircraft's design or operation. The crash was the result of inadequate repairs done to another commercial passenger airplane which ended up dropping a significant sized piece of metal onto the runway just prior to the ill-fated Concord flight. The piece of fallen metal punctured a tire on Concord's landing gear which ended up shredding the tire, sending pieces flying in all directions at extreme velocity which would end up puncturing the Concord's hull and into a fuel tank which ignited and caused a huge fireball to engulf the airplane as it was lifting off from the runway. The Concord would then crash down into a nearby hotel killing all on board as well as some people at the hotel.
The VHS one is the one that surprised me My last VHS was a copy of Scooby-Doo alien Invaders.
My uncle used to own a large Drive-In theater back in the day. It seemed like around the early 1980s people were not going as much to watch movies at a drive-in because of VHS.
Around mid-80s my uncle simply opened up a VHS rental store and that worked out well for a long time. Then the DVD came out. Well what I really do remember is around early 2000s pawn shops could not even give away VHS tapes. Much less sell tapes at flea markets.
Having said this, I was involved with people that participated in Special Olympic events and still am somewhat to this day. I would hear either parents or case workers talk about how some of the special need folks were fasinated with VHS tapes. I would go to estate auctions; yard sales, flea markets, looking for VHS players. I would find not hundreds but thousands of VHS tape that people did not want. I would give all these items for special need folks to make them happy.
At least there is some use for all these old VHS for someone somewhere
I can't remember my last new VHS purchase but I do remember my first DVD purchase: Ice Age
Also used to have a VHS and VCR as well though in my older life saw threw anime on said VHS did others in my younger.
Goodwill still sells the occaisional VHS player, but won't accept donations of VHS tapes, or music cassettes. @@nazfan01

@@_ksm0922You do realize some people find the other guy's voice irritating as hell? It's not such a big deal, but the original guy is just so much better.
I remember the last cigarette billboard ad in Britain. It was Benson & Hedges. One of them was saying "We're being stubbed out"
The documentary about the Clotilda and the survivors' descendents is a great movie about a community rediscovering itself.
Veronica Hamel was the actress in the last cigarette ad. She would later star on Hill Street Blues. The ad aired at 11:59 PM on the tonight show.
I'm here for the informative and entertaining content. Thank you for the hard work that you do on the writing and production, Weird History staff!!
Yes it really was good.
The Cray brothers were no joke. They were some of the must ruthless gangsters ever seen in england.
Fun story, and I've no idea how true it is -- Annie Moore was the first immigrant to land at Ellis Island, and is commemorated in the statue shown in the video. According to legend, however, she was only first because a German immigrant, whose name is now forgotten, gallantly stepped back from the gangplank and said, "After you, Fraulein."
How the hell did people learn Morse code, I feel like I would have a stroke if I tried. Lol
Exactly lol
Probably the same way they do now. Morse code is alive and well in the amateur radio hobby.
Maybe the same way we learned how to text when it first came out, which possibly stems from Morse Code
@@daniellejones2962 I was all set to disagree with your statement, but then I remembered the early days of cell phones and texting, where you'd have to push 2 three times for a C, 7 four times for an S... 🤣
I had to learn Morse Code to pass my FCC board operator’s license test when that was a thing. I’m not even sure the FCC even requires licenses to broadcast in radio anymore. I promise, you could learn. Plus, we still use Morse code in aviation - VORs transmit Morse code over their radials so you can confirm that you’re tuned to the correct VOR.
Airshow in Oshkosh a few decades back had the concord there and you could buy a ticket to fly in it (if I’m remembering correctly) to and from Canada. I was sadly too young and obviously didn’t have the money but nowadays I wish I had gotten the chance.
It must have been a different plane. The Concorde was only cleared by the FAA to land in the US at New York and Washington, DC as there was a huge public outcry over fears of sonic booms. It took a good bit of diplomacy by France and the UK to get those allowed.The FAA also added Miami to the approved list knowing that the Concorde didn't have the range to fly there.
@@PantherBlitz It was there in ‘98 and a couple times before that but I wasn’t alive for those. As for the flight I believe it was to go outside of US.

The intro reassured me. When I meet my Maker, I'll probably get a Weird History segment made about me. My life will be worthwhile.

As an Indian I remember the news of the last telegram… it was kind of sad.. like the end of an era..!
Indian bureaucracy stuck with telegrams like the Japanese stuck to the fax and the French to the Minitel
I got only one telegram in my life. I was on holiday when I received it telling me I was fired.
@@victorsuarez3546
Did you sue your boss ? Sorry for what you went through
@varoonnone7159 I got some from the company. Then years later it went bust. Closed down.
@@victorsuarez3546 I got one telegram in 2004 from my credit card company after I disputed an online order that never arrived.
I was flabbergasted.
The last Blockbuster video store is located in my State, in Bend, Oregon, USA. It's a city of almost 100 thousand people, and is kind of touristy, because of the ski resorts. It's located around the middle of the State.
There was a netflix doc on it a few years back.
The government outlawed cigarette commercials, legalized advertising drugs and left the most problematic one, alcohol, alone.
I was born the same day that Air France Flight 4590 crashed after takeoff killing all onboard and a few on the ground (aka the beginning of the end of the Concorde) on July 25, 2000. From what I heard from reading things online about that ill fated flight, a lot of the passengers and crew on board the plane were German nationals.
Are you telling us you're responsible for the crash ?
As I drive down the interstate in my state I see multiple billboard ads pushing cannibus. Apparently there is some kind of double standard here. What a surprise!
In Brazil we had a cigarette called “Hollywood” and I loved their commercials with Rock Music, it was so great we have cover bands inspired on “Hollywood” ads
Im old enough to remember these. Let's see if i was around for any of these.
This comment doesn’t make any sense.

End Of Days was the last film to be released on Laserdisk.
And One of These Nights was a song by the Eagles.😊😊
The Civil War veteran widow was the most surprising.
The Cray Brothers are VASTLY underdocumented. Definitely worth looking in to.
I remember an ad for a movie about them. Someone asked if they knew the Beatles, and a Kray answered "They know us."
They've made two movie about them.
I have some books from the 70s with cigarette ads in the middle lol.
Printed ads are still legal.
An agreement called the Master Settlement Agreement made between the major tobacco companies and the justice department during the Clinton era banned magazine advertising and was "agreed" to by the major tobacco companies.
*Hard to call it an agreement when the feds say "Sign this or we will put you out of business".
Companies that did not sign the MSA can still advertise.
I recall seeing an ad for Winstons just a month or 2 back.
I saw a person with an actual cigarette in their mouth 3 or 4 years ago. They did not look too healthy; probably dead by now.
One thing I'm glad was NOT on the list? The final Weird History video, of course! I learn so many fascinating things on this channel. Things that will never affect my life in any way but are still really interesting to know. 🙂💙
This is so weird: my local cinema growing up had marlboro ads that would run before the movies. But this was from like late 80s to early 90s. So were they rolling the ad as a legacy reel?
Yep
What would really suck is if they started showing cigarette ads during ten hour flights. Nicorette ads also have the unintended result that they compel me to having a cigarette after watching that crap. Also, tobacco advertisement was finally banned in 1997 (I remember seeing a multitude of Marlboro ads in Formula 1 racing during the mid-90's).
Not illegal to show cigarette ads in other countries or in limited access media like at a movie theater. Just no TV or radio
What country are you from?
@@1978garfield I grew up in Puerto Rico but I ran this by my sis and it's entirely possible that our local cinema was jank as fuck and running a very old reel. That being said, I grew up associating going to the movies with neat coca cola ads and the marlboro cowboy.
The concord one probably surprised me most, I was left with the impression that all flights were stopped immediately after that crash (despite it not being a fault with the plain but instead a failure to make sure the runway was clear for landing).
Imagine if we have the last video uploaded to the internet... that must be a hell of apocalyptic world...
Impossible considering would be too many apps and search engines at once for a specific video but still could happen tied
😂
I'd like to see when the last guy created a new MySpace profile.
What's interesting (poignant?) to me is how excited we were when some of these things first hit the market such as how big a deal the VHS player/recorder was, as well as the excitement of going to a BlockBuster to rent a couple of movies for the weekend. I'm sure when people first used telegrams it almost seemed magical.
I love this guy, I could listen to him all day. What a character, he even makes history fun!
Videos like this are why I love this channel. The last civil war widow dying in 2020 blew my mind, even if it was a strange set of circujmstances (Related: Hope I live to see 100+ too)

Still are grandchildren of civil war veterans alive today...
The last survivor of the TItanic sinking passed away in 2009, 3 years before the 100th anniversary of the sinking

@@varoonnone7159She was a baby at the time, to be fair, so wouldn't have taken up a lot of room..!
She rejoiced in the unique name of Millvina Dean, and if I remember correctly lived to the age of 96. Obviously she remembered nothing about the trip itself or the disaster, but in her later years certainly grew to embrace her role in history as the last _Titanic_ survivor.

I think it would be interesting to see a video of the last legal things that were later made illegal.
Oh yeah that would be a great idea for this channel may want to tell them that or things that were legal but now aren't.
Long tube engine exhaust pipe headers recently killed by the EPA as illegal because they eliminated emissions equipment but millions of people can smoke weed legally now. How does that make sense?
do you mean cocaine?
@@jimmcmonagle2360 Also another good idea since way back in history that stuff along with Heroin and Marijuana used to be legal and also true to that. Sadly those times are gone and really wild to think about that among other things that were legal.

I went for a vacation in 1988 to California with my family. I was in college at the time and my good friend from school asked me to bring him back a souvenir of the trip, but not some standard t-shirt or anything, something really unique that he would never have expected. I stole and brought him the in-arm on-flight ashtray that was still there from the just then smoking prohibited airplane I flew back on. He said it was perfect!
Like Manx, the Cornish language (another Celtic tongue) also went extinct for a lengthy period of time. They've managed to revive it, but they had to borrow heavily from the related languages of Breton and Welsh to fill in gaps, so the Cornish language as it exists today is not the pure tongue of the Cornish Celts.
This was legitimately interesting!

During the Greco-Turkish war of 1919-1922 some British soldiers asked couple of kids if they were Greeks and they replied "Rum, rum". This happened in Chios Island and those kids were probably the last people who identified themselves as Romans!
Just to explain Greeks carried out the Roman legacy cause of East Roman Empire aka Byzantium and during the Othoman period 1453-1821 continued to call themselves Romans
I came across this fact only the other week somewhere! Can't remember where now, but strongly suspect that - as is so often the case - it was on an episode of _QI_ 😄
I have a feeling the 3 million people who live in Rome might consider themselves Romans...
@@ericredbear425 Good point, well made 🤣
As amid I loved watching those cigarette commercials, some were very humorous!
I always liked the Tareyton cigarette magazine ads where they would have a make-up black-eye and the slogan was "I'd Rather Fight Than Switch!"
The lights ads for ladies had the under eye make-up white instead of black.
My mom and aunts were always hot for the Camel guys in the 70s, smoking and floating their Jeeps across a river on a lashed log raft with their chest hairs in the breeze...real men!
Not a smoking ad, but the 70s/80s Durango Boots magazine ads with OJ Simpson where he has three legs made/make me laugh.
Loved the Flight Of The Conchord reference!
The cigarette ads never gave "side effects" info but the pharmaceutical companies give side effects much worse than cigarettes so if banning them was okay for cigarettes why do they allow ads for drugs much worse?
I could have sworn the last cigarette ad was in the 80’s! But I must be confusing them with print ads
Now I know the AI brainrot has set in. I have to remind myself that this is the real dude and not a clone of his own voice.

Manx is making a comeback.
In the 2011 census, 1,823 out of 80,398 Isle of Man residents, or 2.27% of the population, claimed to have knowledge of Manx,[16] an increase of 134 people from the 2001 census.[17] These individuals were spread roughly uniformly over the island: in Douglas 566 people professed an ability to speak, read or write Manx; 179 in Peel, 146 in Onchan, and 149 in Ramsey
It's funny (ironic) that the government started a big anti-smoking campaign in the 60s since they were probably responsible for many people to start smoking. My father said that he never smoked until he was in the army, mainly because everyone else smoked and Cigarettes were part of his C rations.
The government is addicted to cigarette taxes.
That is why Biden came down so hard on vapes.
The guillotine was invented in the 18th century, not in medieval times
Smallpox inoculation is NOT done with smallpox itself, but with cowpox, a very closely related disease. So close, in fact, that the human body builds immunity to both of those diseases.
Whilst you're correct that the last time a Concorde was flown commercially was in October 2003 the last time one was flown at all was a month later, I grew up in Bristol (UK) where Concorde was born and still remember seeing it fly pass my school as it made it's last journey home. My primary (elementary) school must have extended lunchtime because we kids (aged between 4-11 years old) were all trooped out onto the grass in front of the main school building, some of us older ones (8-11) were told to help the Infants (4-7) see Concorde better. I'm pretty sure I either picked up or gave a piggyback to one of the reception (Kindergarten, 4-5) kids. Concorde was magnificent
Don't see many 4 to 7 year-old infants these days.
@@MrTruckerf in the UK (or at least England) the 1st 3 years of education are done in a designated area of a primary (elementary) school called Infants, similarly the upper 4 years is called Juniors. High school (which generally starts at 11 years old) is sometimes called senior school, however the only time it is often called that is when you are buying trousers or skirts in August as your preparing all the non school branded parts of a child's uniform for September

Cigg. adds were still running on TV in 1985 in Bermuda, & I also saw some running in the late 90's in Mexico on TV, & you could still smoke in the airport in Mexico. It may have ended in 1971 in the US but not everywhere in the world🙃.
Wait. Cigarettes are bad?
An employee at a VHS movie rental store in El Paso used my personal membership sign up info on file at the store to apply for and receive 13 credit cards in my name. The only company that had a copy of the fraudulent credit card application was American Express. Took quite some time to clear things up.
To the narrator: you just aint right😂😂😂😂😂. You make learning fun. I dont know if i come here to learn or to laugh....probably both. Keep up the great work and sarcastic comments😅😂😅😂

Where’s the LAST airbender?
In Brazil telegrams are used, but in a different way: they are sent usually when an official record of the message sent is needed like calling for an inheritance read, a last call for something for lehgal reasons, etc.
The final cigarette ad was from 1997 or late 1996, before tobacco advertisement became illegal almost everywhere globally. Advertisement isn't excluded to TV ads.
Here in Argentina cigarettes TV ads were still airing until the early 2000s. But I think they were banned for good in the mid 2000s
Blockbuster!
The Wal-Mart of video stores 🤢
Those Cray brothers were totally cray-cray.
Really appreciate the narrator. He gets the nuances just right.
The new guy had been narrating the late week episodes. Has the collective voice of the disgruntled been heard?
It's quite obvious that indentured servitude - a form of slavery - was always used for those too poor to pay their way to America. Many immigrants would go straight from Ellis to a sweat shop or work camp. Many a starving Irish person fell victim to this practice, whose numbers and names are forgotten and whose suffering cannot be fathomed. But regardless of slavery officially ending, human trafficking and slavery continue to this day in America and around the world.
When the Civil War ended there were 50,000 Chinese slaves in the "Free" state of California. You don't hear so much about them.
