Feel like 'woman with gun' is something missing from modern car advertising.

lol so many weird things about that. They are in a field or something, that's hardly a off-road car. And it's a type of car you don't get into, you put it on like a jacket. So small.

It says 25 horsepower, 5500 rpm and 110 kilometers an hour. Those sure are some thoroughly underwhelming numbers.

Don't drive like a knob. Slang reference to genitalia.

This is an old ad for a health spa in Latvia. But if you don't know that, it makes you wonder what happened to that poor woman.

Mudbath.

Share your old ads here! Or check out the ones I found. I can’t stand current advertising, but the art and creativity from past ads are just terrific.

Lol same XD I like the early 2010 ones and older. I can remember a few from growing up : )

Paul Hogan did years of adverts for Winfield, always with the phrase "Anyhow, have a Winfield.". The company got in to trouble when we first started putting serious health warnings on cigarette packets.

In huge letters on the outside of the packet it said "Warning. Smoking Kills." and just underneath that it said "Anyhow, have a Winfield.".

AYY Hoges! I just watched Crocodile Dundee II recently! That sounds pretty classic

Old ads are rather wonderful and more articulate! Modern commercials seem so dumbed down with rarely more than two or three words and that's it!

Agreed *facepalms and cringes* I could make a better ad myself
