eighties

1 Vintage Firefighter Gasoline Ads

Can you believe that they actually tried to brand a commodity like gasoline, oil is oil , especially if the price goes up. I do not know why Texaco and the other ” seven sisters” advertise given that they are one company?

2 Vintage Magazine Ads Drawing

credit

Well, there are a millon and one other things you can be in demand for with women, but drawing?

3 Vintage Medical Newspaper Ads

credit

This is so funny because the medical gum massage never really tok off. I love these ventage medical ads.

4 Vintage 70s Car Ads

source

How can they compare this to a spirited woman who needs to be tamed? Was there still sexism in the seventies?

5 Vintage Cereal Newspaper Ads

credit

Well do you need a movie to buy? well in those days people might had time to watch

6 Vintage Ads for cigarattes

I laugh that the fact that they thought people had time to read the advert at all. They gave you reasons why it was costlier, well since you will pay more to die.

7 Retro Magazine Meat ads

credit

The illustrator tried very hard to show that the girl was looking forward to a plate of meat.

8 Vintage Fashion Magazine Ads- Men’s shirts

credit

It is funny that they claim to think about these men when they are designing these shirts but that sounds daft given how awflul they look by today’s standards.

9 Vintage Ads Do Not Be Bald

credit

It promises a cure for baldness but I guess it is not that good given that it is not available today. It sounds like a novel Idea.

10 Vintage Magazine ads For Stokings

I thinks this works on female insecurites really, now women have to worry about whether their husbands do not like runs on their stockings.

11 Vintage Beer Ads

credits

This a post prohibition ad saying that beer belongs, well they would not have had to advertise is there was no threat to beer.

11 Vintage Ads about Television making Children Smarter

credit

This a very ironic ad because people have not really been made smarter by television, instead they have been made much slower, people do not read these days but watch the box.

13 Vintage Drug Education Ads

credit

It is amazing that they believed that there were authoutity figures the kids could talk to, this must have been pre 1960s because kids do not want to listen to any of these people today.

14 Vintage 70s Ads- Blaxploitaion

credits

Well if you want to see w=how bad the blaxploitation era film making was just look at this film and ask yourself what is going on? A racist bigot and a soul brother being one being? This was still advertised in the late eighties.

15 Vintage Salt Ad

credit

Is there even a connection between goiters and salt? Medical ads are some of the funniest ones

16 Vintage ads claming men do not beat their wives these days

I do not know about you but was beating wives a tradition in the past? well females do not bore your husbands at meal times, just because you are not getting the beats.

17 Vintage Fashionads- one peice suit

credit

This is n early eighties ad, but why is this man standing next to a pole, maybe this sort of trouser may come back to fashion in the future. You can imagine this guy getting into Studio 54 or any other nightclub in New York City.

18 Vintage MC Hammer Ads

credit

If this fashion ever comes back just call me. People will never wear late 1980s fashion again.

19 Vintage Medical- Malaria Ads

credit

Is this a sexiest ad, why is mrs mosquito distributing malaria?

20 Vintage Pillow ads

credit

A pillow a perfect gift for the family is a pillow? Look at how the husband is cuddling the pillow, Can such an ad appear today?

Remember the vintage propaganda posters we posted a liitle while back, these goes well with those.
