One of my friends was sending me links to all these old commercials she found on YouTube from when we were younger. It brought a smile to my face! Thought I would post some here and if you have any favorite retro/vintage commercials, feel free to do the same!

(my friends and I had this one memorized)

(nothing especially clever, I just remember seeing this so many times I knew the running order of the songs by heart)


There's tons more, but I'll stop here for now! lol

THARRRREEEE!" and "Sorry Charlie.." and "He likes it! Hay Mikey!" I use those all the time and FINALLY my kids can see WHAT the heck Mom's talking about! hehehehe

That Flinstone one is almost disturbing! To funny that no one even gave something like that a 2nd thought back then.

I forgot about "sorry Charlie".

These are great. What memories.

These are all too funny! I LOVED the Budweiser one!

And the Flintstones smoking! Reminds me of back in the day, the guys would get packs of cigarettes in their Christmas stockings! Really! :eyebrow:

I'm assuming the geographical location of that bathtub does more for her than the actual calgon! lol...

*(Jan Brady thinking to herself), "Why does Marcia always get to be in the cool commercials? Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!!!"* :weep:


Wow, trade your old Barbie in? What do you think they did with them? Melt them down to make the new Barbies? If so, that the earliest 'save the planet' idea I've seen!

I remember my very first Barbie (early sixties) came with her hair in a ponytail. Being a normal little girl, I took her hair down so I could brush it and style it. But when I took it out of the ponytail she was bald! They had stitched long blond hair only around the crown of her head! I was devastated! I tried to put her hair back into the ponytail but I could never get it tight enough and the hair would always part in the middle and you could see her bald head. Talk about childhood trauma!

Wow, I hadn't thought of that in years... :ack:

Reviving this thread to post this ad for AOL from 1995. Remember when the internet was new? "Friends on your computer?!"

Also found this earlier one where email is explained:

First of all - glad you revived this old thread Soda. These old commercials are so much fun to go back and watch. It's amazing how some of these have become ingrained in the American psyche. I can still tell you the exact ingredients in a Big Mac even though I haven't eaten one in years! :shrug:

And WOW! It is amazing to think that these two internet commercials are less than 20 years old. I guess it's safe to say that the technological revolution is alive and well!
