Video Flagged Dead

HUGE collection of commercials from the 50's and 60's

submitted by MarineGunrock

1 decade 7 years 5 months 1 week ago

This is an hour long collection of old commercials for everything from Good and plenty's to weird Japanese gum and Disneyland

From original submitter:
"Aging Baby-Boomer Ira H. Gallen has spent over 30 years collecting and restoring this collection from 16mm & 35mm Celluloid Film, and Kinescopes to Video tape, with the help of Museum of Television and Radio in New York. Now he's trying to save his VIDEO ARCHIVES from decomposing by transferring to new digital formats by offering his life's work so far on DVD or GOOGLE VIDEO DOWNLOADS. www.mtr.org"

P.S. - This is impossible to search for, so if it's a dupe, by all means, let me know.

The weird thing which kinda hit me about this video is that I don't know the Jeff Dunham guy- not from personality nor from comedy- then I ran over this achmed joke-thing.
There were some pretty borderline jokes in it for which you would deem a comedian either "talented" or "agressive"- then again there's such plain, stupid populism in it that it's just disturbing- I mean- if you have to run a terrorist puppet as a main thing to sell a theme to an audience on war comedy it's like back in the days when Donald was in the national party (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2I7rlmefA8)- paired with ...?
I was just kind of interested of what the feedback would be - especially on the ...?

That fruit stripe 8 gum (edit: and lifesavers) commercial was shown in the 70s. This is fun sift, MGR..I'm making coffee for this one. An hour
