Retrovision

Next in our series of old "Bad Ads" takes up back to a simpler time. The 1960's. Actually by the time the late 60's rolled around, the sexual revolution was in full effect and we had put a man on the moon. So blowing smoke in a woman's face? It was starting to be par for the course.

According to this commercial, this is the only system you'll ever need.  So here's a question, how many video games system have you bought in the in the last 30+ years? I think for me -it's probably around 10, and I still have most of them, including the colecovision...

The old ads of the 40's 50's and 60's are hilarious. And so politically incorrect. And that's why when I found a collection of old "Bad" ads, I thought they would be a great highlight to WFGR's Retrovision!

Ahh the 1950's and 60's. Back when men were men. And TV was TV. AND ads were ADS. Advertising was in it's golden age. Not only could you watch Fred Flintstone smoking a Winston, but you could touch topics that back in the day were just part of life. Today, it's just too politically correct of a time to be able to produce the advertising of a by gone era.

This is pretty ridiculous - but at the same time great. Check out this retro Sanka commercial and check out the hairstyles!   Even better, watch for the typo at the end of the commercial!

This easily has to be the CREEPIEST thing I have ever seen.  Hard to believe this thing was even real, but it was.  You've been warned. Get Ready for some Therapy Bills for you, or your kids, or both.

You remember the Bradys...that nice family down the street with the dog and the payphone and the Thanksgiving movie set and dunk tank and Joe Namath and...oh yeah. That was the Baxters. My bad. :)

Discussion popped up about Paul Lynde this morning on 98.7 WFGR Classic hits. Discussion turned toward some memories of Paul Lynde and there were memories shared of the special he did with KISS in 1976 for Halloween!

Think back to all of the great SNL bits over the years.  So many great ones you choose from, but this still has to be in my top 5.  The first few years of SNL were truly classic, and this is now over 30 years old, but still just as funny. Jane, You ignorant slut - was the catch phrase for many in the late 1970's...

Ah, the good old days of the arcades!    Check out this brief little piece about a piece of history and Americana.    Which game do you miss the most from the arcades?

Yes July is a couple days away, and yes "Christmas in July" is the most over played, burnt out gimmick of all time ever to get your attention....but we are not above using a standard to get you to have a laugh at Lenny and Squiggy

I will give you a couple of hints. He used to be a semi-famous dad on TV's "Malcolm in the Middle" along side Star Frankie Muniz. He also currently plays a "Bad" guy on TV's "Breaking Bad" Gee, I wonder who that could be? Hmmm.
