Something that strikes me is that none of those commercials is trying to be funny, whereas now like 90 percent of ads are.

Have you noticed a new...I'll say....Baby talk in adds nowadays.
For me mostly radio, because I don't watch TV.

But I've been hearing a rise in Baby Talk/Disney talk in adds, as well as just over all.
I feel like it picked up somewhere during Covid. I actually was going to make a topic about it at some point.

I know, it isn't easy to explain.
But a lot of over enunciation, with an overly positive vibe.
Turning every last word that ends with Y, as a smile would be and example.

A lot of them rely on the real people looking into the camera and telling you its such a good product. It seems ridiculously naive now.

As opposed to what we have now? That is certainly a much better way to sell a product. Maybe it's just me?

People today realize its not a real consumer, just an actor reading a script.

I had that!


Me too!!!
Crushing the ice was almost impossible.
But it was fun to have.
I was basically the same age as the kids in that commercial.
But I also will love Snoopy and Charles Schulz.

I read that as 1892. I was expecting to see racist soap ads.
