Great commercial from the 1980s. Inspiring and uplifting in spirit. Back when men were men and proud of it! Gillette needs to bring that image back into its commercials and abandon the woke idiocy.
@@flukeman022We legit compared the two in class, it was hilarious as the teacher tried to subtly down talk this commercial when all us boys were like “play it again!”
50 year old here. I see this commercial and literally want to cry. How did things get so backwards. Back then that was the goal. Be a clean shaved man with a girlfriend/wife, great job and a man who takes care of his family. Seems thoses days are long gone now. Or frowned upon at least.
So much has changed. More diversity, more acceptance with LGBT culture. They had African American & White Men, today it would be asian, hispanic and even arabian men. I loved this commercial when I was a Kid. You saw a Brotha on Wall Street which to this day is a rarity.
Thats sad , i am gen z and i HATE what this generation has become . But then again , these woke stuff hppen mostly in 1st world countries , we from 3rd world dont have woke problem but certainly its starting to affect us too.
This advert was the blueprint to my life ever since I first watched it at 8 years old , there was something so pure and righteous , girlfriend career wife family , it made becoming a man seem the best thing ever , I return to this video once a year or so just to reset my brain and get back on track! my favourite advert of all times ! “Father to son it’s what we’ve always done” we must teach our sons the right path.
Wow who thought men were once allowed to be strong, confident, successful and happy, instead of the weak, “toxic” unhappy failures they are portrayed as now

I'm an old man...but was starting my career when this commercial came on. It just made you feel better about being alive and a man. Wow, how things have changed.
I grew up with this song/commercial. This was just ordinary common then. My father had his Gillette safety razor from the Marine Corp. 1959. I loved the Brush Plus from 1985 so much that "Santa" brought me one for Christmas then. I read hundreds of men shedding tears here at this commercial. Myself included. Showed it to a co worker today on my construction site. He did the same thing. I know exactly why too!... It was an era gone by of reaching for the stars. Being American and aspiring not only to be a a family man, a lover, an athlete, a father, a husband, a guru whizz kid, a worker, and a masculine man. You know why this song commercial strikes the heart of every man? BECAUSE THAT AMERICA. THAT PRIDE. THAT WHOLESOMENESS! THAT MASCULINITY IS NEVER COMING BACK AGAIN!
I agree with all that you said. Except this commercial was also shown in Australia for years (notice the Australian accent of the voice at the end?). It resonated with us too because the idea of the successful masculine man wasn’t just an American thing.
@@bobbyscalchi4013 I guess we can take comfort in the fact that no one can change our own values. While television ads have moved on, there’s nothing stopping us congratulating our sons for a job well done.
@@OldAussieAds Even though I'm only 43. I'm a bit of an old soul. I am divorced. My son is 5 an autistic. But that still isn't going to stop me, nor is this generation of teaching him the older ways within both our means and limits.
Iconic. I'm not the slightest bit interested in the science of this razorblade. I just want a compilation of blokes being very blokeish with a banging soundtrack.

There's still patriots around like you and I. We must stand up and be the good men God commands is to be. Resist evil!

Atleast Gillette has made a comeback with this song
Possibly the greatest male-orientated commercial of all time. Exceptional work.

Reject the modern day propaganda lads.
Embrace traditional masculinity.
Every once in a while I come back to watch this commercial. It's so good, Men being celebrated. I hope one day that is the norm again.
0:23 is the best part
It's the Greatest commercial ever made.

Bring Back the respect for masculinity. #respectmasculinity
Great Song.
This is what *they* took from us.
No they didn't, they can't take anything from you if you don't allow them to. Only you can allow them to take anything from you
@@mostawesomedudeever1 They shunned this lifestyle. Made it harder for you to obtain.
The antichrist is winning the battle right now. But Jesus will win the war! May we be these God fearing men in our own families.
It's so obvious how far we've regressed as a society that it's reflected in our razor commercials
This was the best version rite here. I use to sing to it
Grew up watching Gillette World Sports Special here in Kenya with these ads. They had African actors.
Is there a link😊
