I am sure we will look back on some of our current ads one day and shake our heads. Until then lets give our heads a shake over these oldies.
If I were an ad executive I would totally use children to advertise the product. I mean what makes you want a beer more than some little chubby cheeked kid grinning at you?
With Christmas coming we should all be looking for that special gift that will scare the living crap out of our kids.
Your breath is not the only reason she isn’t interested in you dude. Apparently you are a cheap jerk.
Soooo apparently Santa is a dirty old man. Remember that next time he asks you to sit on his knee.
All of Johnny’s friends wondered where he shopped for his beautiful outfits. He was one sharp dressed man.
I think we know who is getting wrapped in plastic wrap next don’t we.
I am always in my pearls and gloves to buy my groceries. You know you are so jealous that I look this good.
What a hoot! Except for the pig...that's plain gross, makes me want to give up pork. I love your commentary! And BTW, if the lady with the pearls went to my grocer, her white gloves would be stained red! lol!

Yea, the pig one is a bit disturbing. Love the way they're all smoking in the Johnny Walker Red one and I always suspected Santa was a dirty old man:@)
ReplyDeleteThe pork one is really...interesting. What in the world were they thinking!
ReplyDeleteMy eldest daughter always said Santa was a dirty old man! Turns out she was right. But ya know, I'd wear pearls, gloves and a hat to the market if I could get a steak for $3.05.
ReplyDeleteYes I would get all dressed up to get a steak for that price. Wow, that's more then a few meals. Oh but I might get gunk on my new white gloves....too bad, the maid will wash them with "sparkly white Clorox."

Geez, I miss the days of non-pc advertising. By the way, I can't see it well, what exactly is Santa and Miss Legs selling?

These ads remine me why I'm enjoying the series "Madmen" so much. What an era the mid-20th century was. And yes,I suppose our children or grandchildren will laugh about the ads of the late 20th century and early 21st century for sure.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that pedophiles use the line, "Every Child Should Have a Sea Serpant."
ReplyDeleteAnd the pig cutting himself up is just EW!
OOOH! I hate the pig one!
ReplyDeleteI love looking at old advertisements! Thanks for sharing!
'Nothin' like a self~butcherin' pig! Heeehehehe!
ReplyDeleteThink if we all shopped with our pearls and white gloves that our groceries would be rock bottom prices?
Thanks, I'm rollin' here!
God bless and have a fantastic weekend sweetie! :o)
LOL ohhhh those are too funny! The pig was priceless! kids in beer are always in >:)
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Gross pig advertisement! Ya do have to wonder how in the world these ad execs got the accounts? Yikes!
ReplyDeleteYou ask who would publish an ad with a pig doing the old piggy-suicide routine? Well clearly, the FRENCH.
ReplyDeleteAs for the serpent, that's Cecil, from the old Beanie and Cecil cartoon. The little girl is not scared, she is enchanted with her new Cecil playmate. Yes, she is.
And from your April ad post, the guy who brings the puppets to the party? Those puppets are Kukla and Ollie, from The Kukla, Fran and Ollie show. Who wouldn't want to party down with Kukla and Ollie?
Good grief, madam, where did you grow up?
Oh yeah. Canada. Nevermind.
