Our Blog: 9 Amazing Ads from the 30s

 
Digg It! Stumble It!

Email forwards - use at your own risk. Most of the forwards I get are urban myths from my aunt saying Starbucks hates the troops or toliet paper causes cancer. Every once in a while, there's a rare gem worth telling other people about. Adam McKay forwarded these to me - 9 Amazing Ads from the 30s. These are real. And they're so awesome, they're worth telling you about.

Which one is your favorite? I like "Eat eat eat and always stay thin. How? with sanitized tape worms!"

What a glorious time to live! When women poured Lysol in their vaginas as men blew cigarette smoke into their eager faces. When your doctor would light up as he told you to “go eat some tapeworms and lard”.

Hmmm…I think Sen. Larry Craig got in trouble for looking for fags.

He was looking for a cigarette ina non-smoking area, right?

My mind wandered in the same direction as vijayind. Will our current fads turn out to be as ridiculous to future generations as these are to us?

The lard one is a spoof from Viz magazine from about 1992.

Not sure I believe the Lysol douche one. That cannot be real whatsoever.

I love all the blatant misogyny in these ads: “blow in her face and she’ll follow you anywhere,” “she may be EVERYONE’S pal.” I guess chicks used to be a lot sluttier and more gullible back then.

Isn’t smoking fags illegal in most states? ... not that there’s anything wrong with it, but my… how far we’ve come…

As has already been said, the Tipalet ad is from the ‘70s. The Schlitz beer ad is from the ‘60s. The Camel cigarette ad is from the ‘50s, as is the Chesterfield ad. The “Lysol for feminine hygiene” ad is real, believe it or not, and it is from the ‘30s. The “Have a Fag” ad is from the UK, and would have made a lot more sense there in the ‘30s than in the U... more >

The “Lysol for feminine hygiene” ad is real, believe it or not, and it is from the ‘30s. The “Have a Fag” ad is from the UK, and would have made a lot more sense there in the ‘30s than in the US, due to British slang use of the word “fag”. The “santized tape worms” ad is from the era prior to the Pure Food and Drug Act, which means that it probably dates from sometime in the late 19th Century or the very early 20th Century. As was said, the “lard” ad is a parody from a later date. All are funny, but I can’t figure out why someone believed that these all date from the 1930s, as the graphic style of most of the ads is very much unlike the graphic style of that decade.

I STILL use Lysol for feminine hygiene! That’s why MY vagina smalls like Crisp Linens! For those special nights out on the town, I use the All-Purpose Cleaner with 3-in-1 action … Lemon Scent!

Both “Have a fag” and ”...Lard” are parodies from a British adult comic called Viz (www.viz.co.uk)

I totally get why Jim Nabors is on the fag ad, but why is Bob Newhart there? Oh no.. not him and Tom Poston. So Tom’s marriage to Suzanne Pleshette was a total cover up? Oh wait! Maybe Bob hooked up with Larry, Darryl or Darryl. ewwwww NO! I always suspected Susanne Pleshette (Emily) and Carol, Bob’s perky secretary, so maybe it was a group thing. Yeah, it ... more >

Yeah, it was those two, Bob and the airline pilot, man-child next door neighbor Howard. Ellen’s fake gay wedding and now this. I’m stupified. I need to watch me a Carl Maulden movie.
