13 Old School NYC TV Ads That Will Give You All the Feels

 New Yawkers gave the stank eye then, just like they do now. 

This ad tried to make banking seem seductive, and classy...without actually explaining any of the bank's services. It did look pretty cool though.

This really dredged out the feels and took us all back to a time when we were connected through land lines and pay phones. 

This commercial doesn't make these accident attorneys sleazy in the slightest. 

"Snapple Lady” Wendy Kaufman was actually a Snapple employee before she appeared in ads like this one— she worked in the company’s order department, making it her mission to answer every customer letter.

Nothing beats the Wiz — except bankruptcy. 

Crazy Eddie's prices for electronic goods were “insaaaaaane," and former New York radio announcer Jerry Carroll’s ads were legendary.

Only Carvel would anthropomorphize its ice cream cakes in a commercial. (In this St. Paddy’s day edition, Cookie Puss becomes Cookie O’Puss.)

“Cats” didn’t actually run forever at the Winter Garden Theatre, but it came as close as a Broadway musical ever did.

Mount Airy Lodge, a posh, all-inclusive resort in the Poconos, closed its doors in 2001, but its memory lives on in ads like this one.

Just try getting the “Food Emporium” jingle out of your head.

Are these accents authentic? We’ll never know for sure. 

This low-budget cheesy commercial, with Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" playing in the background and the shoddiest camera work ever, has apparently raked in a lot of business for the Park Slope event hall that made it. They made their own dreams come true!
