…And on the topic of old ads…

July 11th, 2007 by Karen

Yesterday’s fun with old cigarette ads inspired me to continue, broadening my search to just any old ad — any old ad that’s really weird. As it turns out, no website on the internet is big enough to contain the amount of weirdness in the advertising world.

OH NOEZ IT’S INFECTIOUS DANDRUFF YOU ARE NOT WELCOME IN MY HOME.

hypno-jam
This is so frightening. Look at her eyes! I can’t…look…away……from the…hypnotizing…fruit spread…

fancy batteries!
Because when I think “fancy” I think “batteries”…and also “man with his hand over his head looking up at…something…”

OMG WHAT IS THIS
So good, it’ll melt your pasty white face right off!

ouch
Pear’s Soap: It’ll crush your babies!

it’ll solve all your problems. seriously.
Once my house burned down and my dog ran away and lightning ruined my car and I lost all my hair. Then, someone gave me a plastic harmonica. It was all I needed.

give yourself the finger.
You know what? I’m not even going to touch this one. This one is to look at and think about and not talk about. If you post a comment taking the obvious joke, I’ll lose respect for you forever, and write you out of my will. It’s a gum massager. That’s all.

Oh, advertisements. What are you doing to me.

I keep my gums in my pants?

I’m sure the last item had quite some success: some people must have suddenly felt the urge to take care of their gums.

Wow it actually looks like a finger too!

That one guy in the chocolate (?) ad looks like a vampire clown, and the little girl looks like the Bad Seed!

My gums respond better when the finger is 8 inches long and Black.

That little girl looks very predatory. Like the thing spread on the bread is not jam… Or like she is going to bite that hand.

No comment on the finger.

These are actually hilarious. i can’t believe people fell for this stuff. and that gum vibrator looks way too much like a finger-creepy much.

I just saw this really funny video that will show you just how much marketing has changed- from creepy to funny. It’s called speeddating.

I don’t understand? Is it sanitary because it fits in your hand?

oh…does the carrying case come in pink?

I agree with MG that the clown looks like a vampire. A creepy French clown vampire.

That finger thingy didn’t weird me out half as much as the battery ad. What the hell is that guy supposed to be? My first guess is that he is reacting to the bread girl above - yikes!
