that pepsodent commercial, it may have been the first ever rap song...

I don't know why ... ( 4 years ago by Wordman67)

I don't know why this is titled "1948." These clips are from the mid 50's at the earliest. I don't think there were filmed commercials in '48. They were, I believe, all done live at that time. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

That Dodge at the end is a 1956 (w/tailfins prominent.)

I love old commercials! It's like a snapshot of the time in which they were made!

The Pepsodent ... ( 3 years ago by batterymaker)

The Pepsodent commercial should look familiar. It was done by Hannah and Barbera--on the hush-hush, because they were still employed by MGM at the time!

They're all like ... ( 3 years ago by Neville6000)

They're all like that, mostly because of the B&W film and not being on video.

I agree. Simpler advertising for simpler times

lol "so start going steady right away, get Pepsodent get some today" Imagine a line like that in today's advertising :p

where can I find a tv or radio announcer saying "And now a word form our sponsors"?

Thank you for ... ( 2 years ago by cryan475)

Thank you for posting. Image resolution is surprisingly clear. I vote for the bluesy animated parrot singing Blue Blades -- Gillette's coolest commercial ever!

that gillette ... ( 2 years ago by pheet)

that gillette commercial sounds like "R&R"i guess "R&R"started earlier than the 50's than we thought!

This isn't from ... ( 2 years ago by itmsjim)

This isn't from 1948....early 1950's. I have no idea why this is labled so incorrectly.

man that 2nd commercial makes you feel high  right???????

I think you're ... ( 1 year ago by al1936ful)

I think you're right. And the quality of the image is much too good for 1948 TV. I If you want to see real 1948 TV, watch one of he early Toscanini concerts, like the Beethoven's Ninth one.

The image is so ... ( 1 year ago by al1936ful)

The image is so clear because it's not really a 1948 commercial.

That Dodge ... ( 1 year ago by bk2pla)

That Dodge commercial is rather sad. All those employed people doing the jobs robots do now. That's what happened to our economy. Reminds me of the lyrics to "Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel. I did enjoy looking at all the past fashions and hairstyles.

That 'pepsodent' ad 6:10 sounds like an early hip hop acapella LOL

Nice effort, but none of these were from 1948. There were some classic RADIO commercials from this era, but very few on television.

As these are all ... ( 6 months ago by quizman1967)

As these are all American adverts they could be from 1948 as commercial TV was already on there.
