- airwalkery2k, on 07/20/2008, -1/+95Wow, those advertisers were smart! They were obviously planning to target kids of the future surfing Youtube.
- jennabunnykins, on 07/20/2008, -0/+85Dare I say it, Prehistoric!
- Branchex, on 07/19/2008, -1/+69Now Fred and Barney have found a new vice to take the place of their smoking habit, hogging Fruity Pebbles.
- peestandingup, on 07/20/2008, -4/+63Wiiiilllllll*cough yack hack*maaaaaaaaa!!!!
- mrblue182, on 07/19/2008, -3/+56Wow, no wonder so many people smoked back in those days.
- iknowbob, on 07/20/2008, -2/+52and its interesting how things we watch today on commercials would be completely outlawed to the public in the past.
- leahcim, on 07/20/2008, -0/+41A bit crazy that you had that link fresh on hand.
- Zylog, on 07/19/2008, -3/+42It is interesting to compare how now commercials like this would be completely outlawed to the public.
- ekday, on 07/19/2008, -3/+39WTF??? Fred singing about Winstons is just creepy.
- hpymondays, on 07/20/2008, -1/+33Wow! Can you imagine SpongeBob lighting up a cigarette like in this cartoon? - No. How can he? He lives under the sea.
- muleskinner, on 07/20/2008, -1/+28This one is probably even more devious than the Flinstones one
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCMzjJjuxQI&NR=1 - notzak, on 07/20/2008, -1/+28The Flintstones was originally an animated show that was catered to adults, not children. It's not that surprising to see this.

I know what you mean - RachaelMichele, on 07/20/2008, -0/+23Doesn't prevent him from having campfires or cooking on a grill.
- Totz83, on 07/20/2008, -1/+23Are Ya Smokin' Yet?
- coup, on 07/20/2008, -0/+21NSFW
- Asianwaste, on 07/20/2008, -0/+21both of you need to relax. Go out, take a smoke, come back when you've got your thoughts gathered.
- gl77, on 07/20/2008, -1/+22*****, Winstons taste good, like a cigarette should.
- LeviTheSmith, on 07/20/2008, -0/+19Which caused global warming.
- burnin8r28, on 07/20/2008, -2/+21it says 1964. that means its like 10 years old.
- Data33, on 07/20/2008, -1/+19Yeah, it's even older than time itself.
Unix time, that is. - SomeoneGNU, on 07/20/2008, -2/+18Amazing how times have changed, isn't it? I remember seeing beer commercials during a GI Joe "tv movie" when I was eight. I say five years before McDonalds will be forbidden to advertise during kid's shows.
- NeoCortex, on 07/20/2008, -1/+17To be fair, Flinstones was kind of the Simpsons of its day. It was a cartoon, yes, but it was meant for an older audience than most cartoons of the day.
- eldano512, on 07/20/2008, -0/+15and wives mow the lawn, like a wife should.
- Jforsyth89, on 07/20/2008, -0/+14Well, I was planning on never smoking in my life...but now that I saw that video.
brb smoke break - jakv5, on 07/19/2008, -1/+15Danm, even cartoons smoked. What wold happen if they showed that today?
- drgmdp, on 07/20/2008, -1/+15kids would complain about how ***** it looks
- timusca, on 07/20/2008, -0/+14You have to remember that The Flintstones was not a kids show back in its day... it aired during Prime Time and was targeted at adults.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Flintstones (2nd paragraph) - Doomsan, on 07/20/2008, -0/+13Why the pack of smokes looks so real? it's creepy.
- dose, on 07/20/2008, -0/+12You must be a real big hit at parties...
- wolfing, on 07/20/2008, -0/+11What surprises me more of this video you linked is not the doctor smoking cigarettes, but ... a doctor making a round of house-calls? LOL!!!!! Today you have to call, make an appointment for like 10 days later (hopefully you don't die in that time) then wait 3 hours in line to be attended by a nurse who does everything, and after that, the doctor comes, tells you a stupid joke and leaves.
- ElectricRebel, on 07/20/2008, -15/+26Michael Jordan plays ball. Charles Manson kills people. I talk. Everyone has a talent.
- miezu78, on 07/20/2008, -0/+10and it working...im going out to grab a pack :)

- ZombieKiss, on 07/20/2008, -1/+11SMOKE.
- shortmilton, on 07/20/2008, -2/+10My dad used to smoke Winstons.The doctor told him if he didn't quit smokin' he was gonna die.So he switched to Marlboro Lights.Yep,Dad loves his smokes.
- mnsisgreen, on 07/20/2008, -0/+8Why digg him down?
"Thank you for smoking" - twinklyJesus, on 07/20/2008, -3/+11Yeah, cause that's so 2008. Try 1920.
- RedMoonGenie, on 07/20/2008, -5/+13In an ironic twist, Pebbles Flintstone later developed emphysema. Fred actually tried to have this commercial pulled, but I guess Big Tobacco bought his silence.
- pdizz, on 07/20/2008, -0/+8Well done, since arapnet was brought online in 1969 and commercial is from 1964 it is in fact older than the internet. Dugg for accuracy.
- Fullvinyl, on 07/20/2008, -1/+9BARNEY!!! My Winstons!!!
- jaythewise, on 07/20/2008, -5/+13This is even worse....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86lYG1V2-n4 - cgjamj, on 07/20/2008, -0/+8They wouldn't.
