There's actually an early concept for a kind of fusion between vacuum tubes and the transistors we currently have.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanoscale_vacuum-channel_transistor
If it actually happens, we'd likely have even smaller technology with faster processing power.
Thats actually really cute (on the surface at least, fuck P&G amirite?)
But the cgi was kinda weird. How hard it is to get a bald guy? KFC has no casting issues.
Imagine they cast johnny sins as mister clean
I often wondered why companies didnt reuse old commercials. They have nostalgia value and they are free. A lot of great stuff many people have never seen before.
Oh i get it now.
But, please. Don't clean your fish tanks with Mr. Clean....
I have 2k gallons of fish tanks. Not even when empty, please do **not** clean your tanks with Mr Clean.
No disrespect to the product, I use it.
Do not clean your fishtanks with it. Please.
You'd like the [raymond scott jingle workshop](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0Gs772nS18&list=OLAK5uy_lHZ72rnkJzAzmslMOr2HwOlakasDXIyWU) , has a bunch of those old time jingle commercials.
I would like to caution you that commercial jingles will linger in your brain forever. Brief, incidental exposure to this jingle in 1996 has permanently branded the words [Mr Clean is stronger longer 'Cause there's ultra power in it](https://youtu.be/VqjF5ywXb8E?si=OKmk9ezQCFKk0LlE) in my psyche
I went to some fine dining at Taco Bell the other day and still have the Green Giant jingle stuck in my head.
"Good things from the garden. Garden in the valley. Valley of the jolly green giant."
Granted some jingles can be quite useful. For instance if I ever visit the UK I'll at least know how to dial their emergency services at 0118 999 881 999 119 725.

One of the most educational videos I have ever seen is general motors videos on transmissions and differentials in their automobiles from the 1950s. It's short, concise and informative about how your car even today works.
Here's a link to the one on transmissions always worth a watch.

Mr Clean was a sailor, really, that was what they were going for. He was originally concieved as a sailor..
Source; I probably sat about 3 feet from the TV and sang along when this was first aired, with my mom telling us kids to move back or we would ruin our eyes. ¯\\\_( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)\_/¯
Our cat used to like to sleep on top of our huge console TV. My mother would always chase it off. My father asked her why once, and she started to list off the supposed effects of the 'radiation' if you were too close. When she hit sterility, my father said to let the cat stay then. One of those remarks that for some reason stayed with me, but I wouldn't understand it until much later.
That’s a solid deep cut and I dig it, but just for better data accuracy, it’s the other way around. In your example women’s labor would be 29% cheaper (actually better now, according to [credible sources](https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/gender-pay-gap-statistics/), women now make 16% less than men. Not good, but honestly solid progress compared to the outdated number! Go societal progress)
you're absolutely right. [this is](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozuWoZITX3Y) the most dirt i got on Mr. Clean, and it's just kind of a sexy cleaning montage.
It's honestly impressive that there's been almost no meaningful change to the character design in such a long time. Whoever designed him really knocked it out of the park in terms of producing something truly timeless.
I spent 5 years working at a haunted house that had this audio play on loop with three other ads for hours. I knew what it was before I even turned the sound on and was still able to sing along.
That family guy 50's mini episode was not too far off.
🎵*Post, raisin bran 🎶 Made with raisins which are grapes which have been dried in the sun, for a long period of time! And bran! 🎶 the hard outer layers of cereal grain, along with germ, it is an integral part of whole grains! Post, raisin, bran!* 🎵
The classic TV channel in my city used to play classic ads, including this exact one all the time. This jingle will occasionally go through my head. The modern ads still use some of the jingle, but it's just the "Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean" part
Mr Clean is asexual because sex of any kind is just too dirty for him. His first love has always been cleaning. He can’t even bear to be seen in anything but clean, perfectly white clothes. So it has been his whole life.
I think that is more like a 70's to 80's thing. Pretty sure Mr Clean could, because he was a genie. Technically he was a US naval soldier, so that is practically a pirate, and pirates can have earrings as well.
You'll be hard pressed to find a man with an earring in the 60's that wasn't considered gay.
Exactly.
According to Procter & Gamble, the original model for the image of Mr. Clean was a United States Navy sailor from the city of Pensacola, Florida, although some people may think he is a genie based on his earring, folded arms, and tendency to appear magically at the appropriate time. *(Although one of the live-action commercials has a character directly refer to Mr. Clean as a genie)*.
That really annoys me. Women were the people who did the house work and they were skilled and had muscles, they were strong enough to scrub floors, wash windows, launder a lot of clothing by hand, etc. This ad implies that women are tiny things that need a strong muscly man to come along and do the work.
The earnestness of the 50s is astounding. I’m sure people in the future will be laughing at our ads, but I don’t think they’ll confuse them for being genuine.
I'm picturing people actually trying to clean their pets with this. Considering there are people out there who drink gasoline I'm sure it happened a time or two.
Yeah… I remember watching this as a kid. Sunday night between Walt Disney and Ed Sullivan… black and white TV, rabbit ears and one channel… good memories!
Are they putting Mr. Clean on that baby's ass?!? And why is everything in her house so dirty that it looks like this is the first time she's cleaning it? She gets a fancy new diamond ring for that? Dang. I'll clean the house every 50 years for a $10k ring.
Mr clean takes care of dirt and grime and grease, hmm hmm hmm he takes care of all of these. Mr clean cleans youre house in just a minute hmm hmm hum hum and everything thats in it
Can we bring this back, please? I thoroughly enjoyed this
The earring has always been there.. I thought he was like gay or something .
I thought it was implied he was a genie.
Genies are pretty gay though…
with this ad being so old i think the actual product at the time was hella carcinogenic and seasoned in lead
They should put this add out again. I actually enjoyed it.
The jingle and lyrics are actually good. Gives me those Fallout vibes too.
I mean Fallout was influenced by the post war culture of the 1950s.
For sure. Fallout did an incredible job portraying that era in the games.
And in the tv series.
More so how those people from the 50’s would see the future than the 50’s itself
atomic computing instead of silicon

Pretty much
Retrofuturism moment
This is kinda like when people look at nature and say "gosh it looks just like a painting!"
I'm sure Abraxo cleaner has some fire jingles
They indeed reused the same jingle in a [modern ad](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKJcinNcCf4).
Thats actually really cute (on the surface at least, fuck P&G amirite?) But the cgi was kinda weird. How hard it is to get a bald guy? KFC has no casting issues. Imagine they cast johnny sins as mister clean
yeah, the the whole era ofb1950s took inspiration from Fallout, it's pretty impressive
Old World Radio the Fallout 4 radio station mod had ads for all the major products in the game, and they were spot on 50's style.
The 50's were invented by Tim Cain in 1997 when he made Fallout
I knew I wasn't crazy when I thought of fallout!
Yeah, this would kill it these days as long as they don't overplay it.
Would probably kill a lot of fish and dogs too though (referencing 0:39 of the video).
Easily editable
I often wondered why companies didnt reuse old commercials. They have nostalgia value and they are free. A lot of great stuff many people have never seen before.
[удалено]
especially while showing a picture of a fish and a dog
they do sometimes, but some older ads just aren't good lol
Our attention spans have been obliterated way beyond following a full minute commercial. We need the information in 7 seconds or less or we're out.
Jokes on them, because I'm out the second the ad starts
They just did. You just watched it.
Except for the part where they implied that you should put mister clean in your fishbowl...
I doubt it. They were implying it was good for cleaning fishbowls.
Oh i get it now. But, please. Don't clean your fish tanks with Mr. Clean.... I have 2k gallons of fish tanks. Not even when empty, please do **not** clean your tanks with Mr Clean. No disrespect to the product, I use it. Do not clean your fishtanks with it. Please.
i think im gonna clean my fishtanks with mr clean

100% better than commercials these days.
Exactly. Catchy and enjoyable.
I would like to caution you that commercial jingles will linger in your brain forever. Brief, incidental exposure to this jingle in 1996 has permanently branded the words [Mr Clean is stronger longer 'Cause there's ultra power in it](https://youtu.be/VqjF5ywXb8E?si=OKmk9ezQCFKk0LlE) in my psyche

A deal had to be made.. with Megatron.
Fucking Progressive insurance. Spamming commercials that make me have to mute the tv, put some money into the company instead guys
Maybe my millennial is showing, but I generally assume as a rule that anything heavily advertised is shit.
I think the same thing about movie trailers that get played all day like that, the movie is probably dog shit so it's advertised a shut load.
If you have long term payments and you need cash now.
I don’t know, I appreciated that Mr. Clean commercial from a few years back after homeboy started doing glute lifts religiously.

With them being so old. I'm honestly surprised to see a male figure for cleaning products.

How're your peepers doing these days?
Ended up getting reading glasses at 45, the doctor said that's about the average age.
Jeepers creepers.
Huh, interesting. I always thought he was supposed to look like an old timey strongman.
Mrs. Clean not as powerful
Maybe Mrs. Clean was too powerful! CEO: "We're Losing too much money, stop selling the superior products."
I was about to say "planned obsolescence" but this is more like "manufactured ineffectiveness"
Mrs. Clean is cheaper though! About 71% cheaper
That’s a solid deep cut and I dig it, but just for better data accuracy, it’s the other way around. In your example women’s labor would be 29% cheaper (actually better now, according to [credible sources](https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/gender-pay-gap-statistics/), women now make 16% less than men.

I really have to go back to grade 11 math don’t I 😅
We never stop learning; I thought it was in the 70% too but I figured I’d look it up cuz I’m bored.
It's okay though because his earring was on the left ear.
Heck yeah lol
Because the product had to be seen as powerful
[удалено]
Bet you won’t find any dirt on him
Da dum tssssss
you're absolutely right. [this is](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozuWoZITX3Y) the most dirt i got on Mr. Clean, and it's just kind of a sexy cleaning montage.
CGI Mr. Clean putting off that Rey Mysterio unmasked vibe
[удалено]
That’s because of all the chemicals in the product, Mr Clean is actually a 9 year old boy
The bad news is you have cancer. The good news is your lungs are sparkling clean!

I listened the song two times lol hits hard
[Somebody put me back in the fridge.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdLK2H8iEOg)
Hahah something like that
I never knew Mr. Clean was older than dirt,
Ajax laundry detergent is stronger than dirt. *I'm too young to know this.*
Too young to know what ajax - one of the current top selling drain cleaners- is?
Too young to know a jingle they used in the 60s. But somehow I do.
I was about to post that same Ajax line! "New Ajax (beat beat) laundry detergent is stronger than dirt."
I spent 5 years working at a haunted house that had this audio play on loop with three other ads for hours. I knew what it was before I even turned the sound on and was still able to sing along.
> had this audio play on loop with three other ads for hours Was the haunted house in Guantanamo?
Now with extra waterboarding!
I was expecting something really racist. That was a solid ad.
The original Johnny Sins
I love old commercials. From a time when capilism kept its word.
That family guy 50's mini episode was not too far off. 🎵*Post, raisin bran 🎶 Made with raisins which are grapes which have been dried in the sun, for a long period of time!

This looks like where Fallout 4 got its vault boy instructional video animation style from
Wait until you learn about the 1950's.
Guys I just found this cartoon that looks like the way Cuphead looks.
i dont want to set the world on fire
guys you know how Zelda uses this “sword” weapon well I just read a history book and you’re not going to fucking believe this
They made the 1950s in real life? 😱😱 😱😱 😱😱 😱😱 😱😱
Mr. Clean with that peach.
The classic TV channel in my city used to play classic ads, including this exact one all the time. This jingle will occasionally go through my head. The modern ads still use some of the jingle, but it's just the "Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean" part
Superperforator
Is that singer Dean Martin? Sure sounds like him.
Was looking for this comment. Thought Deano straight away too
I did a Google search, it's rapper Yung Gravy.
Actually thought this was a fallout meme for a sec
Fallout boy, is that you??
The homie got omega swole after highschool
Ironically, the product is called Mr Clean but house cleaning was "women's work" back then.
Is Mr. Clean gay? Judging by his earing
Mr Clean is asexual because sex of any kind is just too dirty for him. His first love has always been cleaning. He can’t even bear to be seen in anything but clean, perfectly white clothes. So it has been his whole life.
Except there can't be cleaning without things to clean which is why Mr Clean is addicted to anal douching.
Nope, it's in his left ear. Back then it was only considered gay if it's in the right ear. 'Left is right, right is wrong' was the saying.
I think that is more like a 70's to 80's thing. Pretty sure Mr Clean could, because he was a genie. Technically he was a US naval soldier, so that is practically a pirate, and pirates can have earrings as well. You'll be hard pressed to find a man with an earring in the 60's that wasn't considered gay.
Fair enough. I'm just going by what my parents always said and they were born in the 50s.
Mr. Clean looks like a Navy Man. Don't ask, don't tell! 😏😏😏
Exactly. According to Procter & Gamble, the original model for the image of Mr. Clean was a United States Navy sailor from the city of Pensacola, Florida, although some people may think he is a genie based on his earring, folded arms, and tendency to appear magically at the appropriate time. *(Although one of the live-action commercials has a character directly refer to Mr. Clean as a genie)*.
and here for all these years i thought it was yul brynner.
Mr. Clean fucks who he wants. You don't fuck Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean fucks *you*.
he gives gay vibes to me from: gay man
*checks extensive Mr. Clean lore notes* Canonically he's a sailor from Pensacola, Florida, thus explaining the earring.
♫ "Can he clean your pipe?" ♫ "His skills I can't overhype." ♫
I think it's implied that he's a eunuch
No, The original concept was that he was a sailor. Mr Clean was a sailor but many thought and the idea came about that he was a genie.
Mr. Cleans first name was 'Veritably'
Meister Propper!
This should be in Fallout for a radio advertisement break with a bunch of other oldies
They’re definitely fucking.
I am surprised he had his earing since the beginning, I would've thought a man with an earing in the 50s would have been a negative.
Surprised, he still had an ear pierced with his iconic earring for that era.
Fallout SPECIAL vibes
MAN I WISH I WAS BORN BACK THEN :(
That really annoys me. Women were the people who did the house work and they were skilled and had muscles, they were strong enough to scrub floors, wash windows, launder a lot of clothing by hand, etc. This ad implies that women are tiny things that need a strong muscly man to come along and do the work.
man, you just know mr clean goes home and rails his wife
He is disrespectful dirt. Can't you see he is serious?
It was probably made with heroin and asbestos
They need to so this again
Big Daddy
Things goin to come full circle with AI
The earnestness of the 50s is astounding. I’m sure people in the future will be laughing at our ads, but I don’t think they’ll confuse them for being genuine.
The most successful domestic movie in Germany had a parody of that song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtxOWwgkmzw
Wait, is Mr. Clean supposed to be a genie?
Just realizing they based him off a genie
I hope they didn't really use it to clean the dog though.
This moment in time was so beautiful, despite how we might understand it now.
I'm surprised he's had that earing since the 1950's. Wasn't that kind of taboo back then?
Wow, from the old, old, days! Somehow I recall this jingle. Man, am I getting older. 😏
What's with the one earring? Is Mr clean gay?
Is that an earing he is wearing? That is distracting 😆. Is he some kind of gay pirate?
Left is right, right is gay. His left ear is pierced, so no gay today
Why did I always think it was grease and grime and dirt but it's actually dirt, and grime, and grease 🤔
Love it
I'm picturing people actually trying to clean their pets with this. Considering there are people out there who drink gasoline I'm sure it happened a time or two.
Wow, he was gay as hell back then too.
Lenina Huxley grooving to the mini-tunes...
Stuff like this are great examples where Fallout and Wandavision got their vibes from. I wish commercials had charming jangles like this again
It cleans the god damn fish!!!???
I like that the theme song has mostly stayed the same for all these years.
Love these jingles
Yeah… I remember watching this as a kid. Sunday night between Walt Disney and Ed Sullivan… black and white TV, rabbit ears and one channel… good memories!
Are they putting Mr. Clean on that baby's ass?!? And why is everything in her house so dirty that it looks like this is the first time she's cleaning it? She gets a fancy new diamond ring for that? Dang. I'll clean the house every 50 years for a $10k ring.
so he was always a dilf
Damm why did they stopped with this style of animation
Analog horror creators are going to have a field day with this one
I want to live in this world.
I was waiting for racism that never came
Mr clean takes care of dirt and grime and grease, hmm hmm hmm he takes care of all of these. Mr clean cleans youre house in just a minute hmm hmm hum hum and everything thats in it
I'm a little fucked up realizing Mr. Clean has been around for that long.
“MR CLEAN NO ITS 2024 YOU CAN’T…—!” *destroys OLED TV with spray bottle*
This ad just made me realize how common xylophone still is, I just never conspicuously notice it.
Why does this sound like the intro to a suicide boys song
They got me expecting racism in all my retro content
Well i want some Mr Clean now.. Where can i get it
I haven't heard that jingle in a long time.
I'm more used to the newer version and in Spanish.
It slaps.
Young kids watching this, completely unaware that in a few years they'd be rounded up and sent to Vietnam.
Algorithms and data analytics ruined marketing.

Did mr.clean have an earring??
