I was going to snerk that "the crappier the product, the better the commercial", but I have to say that was some amazing driving in that Isuzu commercial. Especially those two cars going down a flight of marble stairs in formation - on only two wheels each.

The car couldn't have been all that bad to have stood up to that sort of drill. Although of course they may have been "specially prepared".

Can't think of any commercials from the 50's or 60's that were a favorite. But I used to really hate those Anacin commercials - which were purposefully made to be as annoying as possible.

Did you know that American advertising of the latter half of the 20th century had its roots in propaganda methods perfected by the Nazis?

More Group Oriented

This has got to be from the early 50's, judging from the package design.

From 1972, keep an eye on the background.

Here's an outtake on shock absorbers most here can get a chuckle from.

OK, so I watched the commercial...what should I be looking for in the background besides the two guys rubbing against each other?

Another favourite from 1965

Tony Hancock & Patricia Hayes

 

[vacbear58]

It was one of a series

UK member ("of a certain age") may be surprised to see Pat Coombes appear, with a Yorkshire accent

 

[vacbear58]

Persil

I love these old Persil ads, especially with the female voiceover - the washing machine is a Hotpoint Empress

 

[vacbear58]

Persil Washes Whiter

... and it shows. The machine is a Hotpoint Countess this time
