I don't recall seeing any of those. They are hilarious to watch.
shareThese are pretty badass, I ain’t gonna lie.
Props.
I was going to post one of "Cal Worthington and his dog Spot" L.A. car dealer, and I stumbled across this.

"Take a fucking car like this."
Cal was in Phoenix, Arizona, too, when I lived there.

I remember a couple of those 👍
shareThe Iron Eyes Cody public service announcement is legendary.
shareThe crying Indian? I vaguely remember that one. Mid 70s?
shareYep, 70s.

Turns out--later in the episode--that knowing Iron Eyes Cody isn't an Indian is like knowing James Caan isn't Italian :)
Yep, I read that Cody was of Italian descent. His sister (I think) said he was not Native American, but he denied her claim.
shareThe "spicy meatball" commercial, while well known, was considered a failure. Didn't improve Alka Seltzer sales. People who watched it would remember it as a sauce commercial. Although, ironically, no one could tell you what sauce it was supposed to be selling.
shareInteresting--I did not know that.

I once watched a video of late 70s commercials. One guy in the comments said something like 'i need to watch these to feel normal. I cry watching these. I reject the current world we live in which is terrible. This is the world to which I belong when society was wholesome and normal".
To him home wasn't just a place, it was also an era.
Good ones👍 I'll keep going..
