Television Ads of the 1970s – Cheesiness Guaranteed

Written by Chris Alm • January 23rd, 2013

From YouTube user ModCinema comes a selection of cheesy American television ads of the 1970s. The selection contains ads for among others Mister Tony’s Submarines, Space Mountain at Disneyland and Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

I do not know if I should be nostalgic or laugh. Do anyone of you remember these ads?

The Shoe Closet (1976)
Mr.Tony’s Submarines (1977)
Tip 833-4000 (1977)
