The Daily Mail recently published a nice selection of ads from the good ol' Mad Men days: The sexist adverts of yesteryear that said women should lose weight by doing the housework and wives were there to cook (and those are the less offensive ones!)

Some highlights:





Enjoy!

damn funny the ads on that webpage!

[JimNortonFan]

This taken as either red or blue. Depends on if you buy it or not.

[Screwston]

What's sad is most younger guys would be disgusted by these ads and wouldn't even crack a smile.

[KorbenDallas]

Houston, maybe your right about most younger guys. But there are still red pill young guys out there.

[Samseau]

I wish more ads were like this.

When women feel the need to give ducky lips and the Beyonce-stare, the art director makes a few artful crops and reminds us whats important.

This advert basically exemplifies MGTOW and captures the free-man spirit.

Toyota did some great commercials for their GT86, of which one got banned in the UK.

This Is How Your Wife Reacts When You Buy a Toyota GT86: "Stop buying things I don't like with your money!!"

Take a look at the comments!

This is the one that got banned in the UK. No wives in this commercial but healthy dose of red pill, literally.

Here is the background story:
An advert for the Toyota GT 86 coupe has been banned by the advertising watchdog, after viewers complained that it was “irresponsible” and “condoned dangerous driving”.

I love old adverts. I enjoy the nostalgia appeal and the window into the past they offer.



People tend to think of advertising as being manipulative, sneaky somehow. It's a truism that everybody likes to buy, but few people like being sold to, so adverts get a bad rep. But advertising is one of the purest and most honest forms of mass communication in modern society. The humble advert exists to sell you something, and it can only do so by convincing you that the product or service it features is worth you voluntarily exchanging your hard-earned money for.

Unlike, say, political communications or claims made by religious organisations, charities and lobby groups, commercial advertising is heavily regulated by law and the marketplace. So it's rare for adverts to lie, they have to persuade. The means by which they seek to persuade - the images, the humour, the aspirational lifestyles they highlight - can tell us a lot about the time and place they were made in.

I especially love 'sexist' adverts.



What do they tell us about the terrible patriarchal olden times they were made in?



One thing they tell us is that men were the head of their household, and expected respect from their wives. (And a good tie only cost 2 dollars!)



Another is that women were perfectly happy with this situation. Take the advert above: the modern college-trained feminist, indoctrinated into seeing "patriarchy" and "oppression" everywhere, would assume this ad is making fun of domestic violence.

But it isn't. It's an ad aimed at women. It isn't telling women "buy our coffee or risk a beating" - that hasn't been a good sales pitch at any time in history. No, it's playfully referencing what we might now call a "red pill" truth - women like being submissive to, and pleasing, manly men.

Take a look at the woman's face - does she look unhappy?

The modern feminist sees a housewife over her husband's knee and thinks "sexism!". The 1960's housewife saw the advert above and thought "my panties just got moist!". It's the oldest trick in the book - using sex to sell.

And on the subject of sex, everybody knows people in the Bad Old Days were sexually repressed puritans, right? Before "sex positive" and whatnot was invented...





Nah. Our parents and grandparents loved shagging. Which is a good thing, because we wouldn't be here otherwise. It's the modern day which is sexually repressed - full of people constantly looking for reasons to be offended by male desire.

Old adverts show us a world in which men and women were at ease with themselves.



Where masculinity wasn't derided as "toxic".



And where "gender roles" hadn't yet turned into a battlefield.



And maybe that's one of the reasons why "Mad Men" became so popular.

[DJ-Matt]

Wait, how is the gun ad offensive?

[dicknixon72]

As a car guy, I'm both surprised and pleased General Motors did this one in today's environment:

...on a fullsize billboard during the Woodward Dream Cruise no less.

[Sombro]

…And a blue pill ad:

Here's an old wartime public service advertisement that's especially relevant for all of us forum members

Don't know how I missed this one. What a beautiful 'Fuck You' to blue-pilled western culture

The amount of butthurt white knightery in the reddit comments is astounding:

That was a weird thing to watch, springing a car on someone can definitely be a shock but then again this is not a very expensive car to begin with. It almost seemed more antagonistic toward the women by trying to make you feel like you should side with the guy and that the wives just don't get it.

Quote:

I'm surprised anyone is trying to suggest that buying a car without first telling your spouse is a good thing. Sure, it's "only" $25k. How many guys would "overreact" if their wife went out and spent $1000 on shoes, spa treatments, and purses? It's ONLY $1000 and that's pretty cheap for getting all those things, right? No, it's still a lot of money for most couples to spend without talking about it first.

In this video:
My wife is clearly upset - I'd better try to console her by forcefully trying to grab her arm. Bitches love arms.
I know it's supposed to be fun, but man, there's some dickish shit in there...

Am I the only guy who saw this and was rather disgusted? I thought "WTF?! I'm not that selfish." This ad does not make me want to buy the car.
