AdTalk: Special outfits for special people

ad14

Well looky here- it’s an ad for a Fishin Suit. Not to be confused with a FISH-ING suit, which is a totally different thing. Cuz this-a-here is a genuine FISHIN suit, which is more casual and fun and includes solid metal O rings. It’s available in a rainbow of colors for both men and women [...]

Yeah. This was me.

Let’s pause this high-tech life to travel back to 1994 shall we? This ad is particularly precious to me because I had that Motorola flip phone AND the Uniden 30 message pager (in blue!). In 1994 I imagine some of the really important 30 messages from one of my ‘friends’ in the blue pager might [...]

{AdTalk} I blame this ad for America’s weight problem. Okay not really. But I do blame it for the over use of Mascara in the 70s.

It has been a while since we have heard from the genius advertising creatives Bob & Mike. You might recall them from this ad or this one. Let’s listen in to this brainstorm conversation for their new client, The Sugar Council from 1971….. Bob: This damn diet craze is killing us Mike! Mike: I know, [...]

Being your wife is a mild form of torture. Basically.

The copy says…“Making beds, getting meals, acting as family chauffeur — having to do the same dull, tiresome work day after day — is a mild form of torture. These boring yet necessary tasks can bring on nervous tension, fatigue and what is now known as "housewife headache."’ Actually I don’t think it is boredom [...]

AdTalk: White Owl Miniatures

Help me out here, I am confused; If she was a man she would smoke White Owl. And well she is not only smoking one, but she is even wearing one…. so does that mean this is a man? If so- he is HAWT. Just sayin. Oh and if the styling looks a little familiar- [...]

AdTalk: And it smells like BABY POWDER. Just sayin.

It needs to be said. I don’t want to be the one to say it, but it has to be done. It can no longer be avoided; That has to be the most phallic bottle of innocence ever created. And- um, hello creepy. Lollipop, hiked up little girl dress? Oh yeah- nothing wrong with this [...]

AdTalk: The chick in back went with overly excited instead of sultry.

Cuz every woman loves to lick an ashtray. Oh lord. The copy on this thing is classic “take a puff. blow in her ear. And she’ll follow you anywhere”. Um, not exactly Mr. Copywriter. If some a$$hole guy blows cigarette smoke in a woman’s ear EVEN in the screwed up wacked out 70’s…she would likely [...]

I am wondering just how completely mortified and damaged Billy and Cindy were to have to walk out from their dressing rooms in UNDERWEAR and stand this awkwardly close together to be photographed. And I am also wondering WHERE can I GET me SOME OF THESE? How killer would it be to rock a full [...]

So many men in bad suits, and so little time. I am sure some art director somewhere was saying things like “We will just SPLASH the paint over the backdrop! It will be DYNAMIC. And YOUNG and FRESH!” while using hand movements and smiling convincingly. Then the budget guy with the bow tie would give [...]

Ever drive by a mobile home park and think- “Wow. At one point that was someone’s dream home.” No? Well it was. Before mobile home parks were known as natural-disaster-magnets, they were actually kinda cool. After all, not only was it better than apartment living, but it was MOBILE. So you could just pick’er up [...]
