The only thing that would make this old Folgers commercial more sexist...

[Bicoastal]

...is if they just went ahead and substituted the word "vagina" for "coffee."

That's the underlying message, isn't it?

[graywarrior]

1. Yikes!

The girls at the office!

[DS1]

2. wow. it's like the douche commercials

I think I'd bring my own burger king back home for dinner after a blowup like that over coffee

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. I'm so old I remember that ad.

It was pretty typical of the era, unfortunately.

[graywarrior]

5. Like this

Hard to read, but that's the way they thought back then...some think that now.

[Nickster]

11. Ahhh, the good ole days.......DON"T HIT ME! I WAS JUST KIDDING! AHHHHHHHHH:-)

[nomorenomore08]

16. What's that saying, tragedy + distance = comedy?

So much stuff that was said/written decades ago seems like satire now.

[LibertyLover]

18. Arrggh!

That reminds me of research I did on how women were portrayed in women's magazines during World War II. One article, from late 1944 - early 1945, had an article about how women should decorate the kitchen. One item the article insisted a woman could not do without in the kitchen was a small mirror and shelf on which they could keep lipstick and a comb so that when the door bell rang or their husbands were coming home they could quickly check their appearances in the mirror and comb their hair and put on fresh lipstick.

25. Eeek, I remember it too.

Even though I must have been just a baby!

I recognize the actress. Wasn't she on a boatload of Love, American Styles or somesuch? And the oinky husband was a big soap opera star, I think.

[Fox Mulder]

4. Since the guy didn't like that woman's coffee...

why didn't he make his own damn coffee?

[harmonicon]

7. because it was his birthday, silly!!

[harmonicon]

6. that scared the shit out of me

please don't do something like that again. My heart can't take it.

[Fleshdancer]

8. he's lucky he's not my husband.

He'd be wearing the damn coffee...and I'll leave it to your imagination to guess where the cup would end up.

[DS1]

9. the dishwasher?

:shrug:

[Deep13]

10. Can't see it from here...

...but I suppose substituting any product name with "vagina" would make it sound sexist.

The new Volkswagon Vagina turbo-diesel. Test drive one today.

[riverdale]

12. Youtube

Holy crap, the other youtube links by this commercial are a trip as well> Check out this ad for Goodyear tires - cracking on women drivers

[laconicsax]

17. A woman driving alone!! The horror!!!!

:puke:

[The Animator]

13. This commercial was banned because it was racist.

Is it bad to think this one is funny?

14. That wasn't a real ad

It was at the end of the movie "Crazy People" — which had the best ads EVarrr.

Metamucil — it helps you go to the toilet.
If you don't use it, you'll get cancer and die.



:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. It was the early '60s

We weren't enlightened yet. :shrug:

[XemaSab]

19. If a guy said that to me he'd be looking for his teeth in the neighbor's yard

He'd also be making his own damn coffee, in his own damn house, without my ass there.

[geardaddy]

20. And "undrinkable"

with "unfuckable"


Geez, what a boring guy. Who wants a decent cup of coffee for his birthday?

[nomorenomore08]

21. I guess he's so straight-laced, a strong cup of coffee is his idea of getting wild.

I think I remember reading somewhere that John Ashcroft's vice of choice was a big bowl of vanilla ice cream. LOL

[trof]

22. Yeah, we used to call her 'the little woman', or 'thuh missus'.

;-)

23. Willard Scott (remember him?) as Ronald McDonald.

24. I'd have told him...

To go sit on that hot plate at work. What a pig!
