Gypsy...these are hysterical. You have the sense of humor of a ghoul! A blot clot on toast?

The especially creepy pedophilia advertising would NOT fly today.. very very creepy...

That peanut pie looks delicious.

That peanut pie looks delicious.

I was thinking the same thing.

The rest, ewww. Creepy! But funny (in a creepy way).

Wtf were we thinking in the 70's? The Love's Baby Soft ads are beyond the pale. Remember this TV commercial? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7IP5SV6GqQ I remember watching it and thinking nothing of it, really.

 

[yennyfire]

Um, wow! Somehow I can't imagine those adds having the effect the creators thought they would!

My fave is the Marlboro one. I did not realize one could feel "over-smoked" and that Marlboros could fix that!!! lol

[Gypsy]

Yeah, the Marlboro one is amazing isn't it?

A baby and the message "can you afford NOT to smoke". REALLY???

Well at least now I know who to blame for all my lung problems -- directly a result of second hand from my smoker mother.

Deb, not really. I was HORRIFIED by that one. And okay... so I did giggle a little. It TOTALLY looks like blood on toast! I mean come on, put some strawberry seeds on there or something to make it look like something other than blood clots!

The Loves one made my stomach lurch. No humor there.

No offense intended, Gypsy. I was amused by it (although also grossed out), myself!

[recordaras]

Oh wow. The Loves one is just... I have no words.
Other than that, they used to advertise stuff that would make you gain weight??

And no offense taken. Internet and tone is hard to convey much of the time.

 

[minidancer]

Is the naked fedora baby Amy Poehler?? Looks just like her.

 

[purplesparklies]

That Love's commercial is nasty. Just awful.

 

[asscherisme]

Those loves babysoft ads are sooo creepy! I remember them being in magazines when I was a kid.

And what the heck is succulent blood-clot from the first ad? Was that a real thing?? Blood clot dinner? Ewwwwwww!!!!!! Enough to make you want to be a vegetarian.

I am going to show these to my daughter when she gets home from high school! Her teacher was talking about advertising the other day.
