*Warning: not safe for work – 3 seconds of really, really hard to see soapy bewbs!
Here’s an interesting take on old timey ads, courtesy of an unknown ad agency circa 1965. Apparently it was a gag reel circulated in-house, poking fun at themselves and all the magical ways to pitch products on television. Enjoy!

Love it! I love vintage ads + rifftrax type humor. That an ad company could poke such fun at itself, it’s great!
That is AWESOME!
Is that for real? I didn´t know that they could be so sarcastic and funny back then.
People have been sarcastic, funny and satirising of their culture probably since we had language. It’s just, because it’s humour, it often doesn’t survive.
Parody and satire is of all ages and it (almost) never ceases to be funny!
That was hilarious!

Pretty sure the blonde in the tub is Bonnie Sharie.
OH it is totally real I have no problems believing it. I mean look at the June Cleaver actress and how she took to cursing Jive in Airplane! and making fun of herself on Rosanne. THey knew how silly it was at the time, and modern advertisers and marketers know our own silly catchstereotypes, even if they are different from then. As for risque, there are lots of sneaky little jokes from live TV that weren’t shown on camera, though sometimes you saw the actors react.
This. Is. HILARIOUS! WIN! I wish I could download this and save it forever and forever.

Oh that’s a riot! Love the little black girl popping up from behind the couch — “…but they’re not stuffy.” Hmm..
Speaking of Hmm….I may be very much mistaken, but the announcer sounded a bit like Stan Freberg. That kind of humor was right up his alley. Wouldn’t be surprised if that was his work.
God damnit, CUT!
CLASSIC!
I feel a bit better knowing I’m not the only one who found that absolutely hilarious.
..the Eyebrow-less kids creep me out.. Still, lol on the fact that even ppl in the 60′s are also aware on how ridiculous it was (until now) for ppl in toothbrush/paste ads to only brush their front teeth up and down.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Bwhahahahaha!
Pretty sure the hard to see soapy bewbs are also covered by a 1950s swimsuit. >.>
nope…in context the announcer talks about how she bathes in a swimsuit then she sits up, showing she’s not, followed by “Cut, damnit cut!”
If I didn’t know better, Id say cliche Dad was Kelsey Grammar.
I think cliche dad IS Kelsey Grammar. He’s just barely old enough.
