I still love Honey Combs cereal and I always sing the jingle when I pour a bowl. Some of these I had forgotten about. THANK YOU EASTER BUNNY!

Yeah it's crazy how these still fire neurons. I haven't heard that Puppy Chow jingle in 40 years and yet it's still in there. "Don't treat your puppy like a dog dog dog…"

Also thank you because now I can't stop singing, "Two all beef patties special sauce lettuce cheese pickles onions on a sesame seed bun" …

Spoiler Alert: Corinthian Leather is a marketing term for 'vinyl made in New Jersey'.

1971 baby here loving these classic commercials! I always chuckle at "Corinthian leather!" 😂

Child of 82, and I remember probably 1/3 to 1/2 of these, particularly the Shedd's Spread couple, The bathroom cleaning "scrubbing bubbles", tha all fruit, and a couple others. Question, and I know I'll feel like an idiot when I get the answer, but who was the older man in the Folgers commercial, and who were the 2 cops in the Pace commercial. I KNOW I've seen them all over, but can't place the names. Thanks, love these types of videos!

Back when commercials were original and had fun jingles or catch phrases! Who says these tag lines still? (All of Gen X raises a hand!)

I don't remember the Mineke ad, but the little old lady reminded me of the Midas ad and "Whoop-dee-doo for my Subaru!"

I so remember these, the nostalgia coming back, I work in a store, and I squeeze the chairman all the time, as I laugh into Mr Whipples memory.

In the Bounty paper towel commercial, I'm only just looking at it again recognizing the lady selling the product…was a MALE drag, hence the slick line at the end of the commercial. 🤦🏽♂️

It was really awesome seeing the classic commercials that you've posted in this compilation. You'll always have that retro spark burning deep inside of you, and it's one reason why I'm subbed to your channel like I am. You genuinely care about what came before, something I wish the whole world would do.

I'm surprised how many of these I remember. The Puppy Chow commercial came out when I was only 5 and I remember it

You should do a deep dive into the Taster's Choice couple

I've always wondered why US commercials used to have that weird fade out after every commercial. And, almost equally, why they don't anymore. To the best of my knowledge, we've never had it here in Europe.

2 is as old as I am, 3 is as old as my house. 3:31 CFN Ricardo, I'm sorry The Oscars did your memory dirty. This is Corinthian Leather, Spy Kids 3D. 5:28 I use Canadian Bacon. 6:53 Fill it to The rim with Brim. 9:50 You got your Chocolate in My Peanut Butter, You got your Peanut Butter on my Chocolate. Parodied in Talespin when Kitt Cloud Kicker did his version of Free Willy with fish in place of chocolate. 10:19 is the lead Bubble Paul Winchell, He sounds like Tigger. 10:31 It is Tigger, HOO, HOO, HOO HOO HOO. 11:26 Or they'll turn into Gremlins. 12:08 As I understand it, Sonny is voiced by Larry Kenney who 5 years later became Lion-O Lord of The Thundercats. 13:24 NEW YORK!? 13:43 Would you please pass The Jelly. 14:10 CFN Andre The GIANT. 16:09 CFN Fred. 16:23 Michael J. Fox? 16:38 he's always been a short fellow with a big heart.
