Tasty vintage treats from YouTube, for your morning viewing pleasure. (Thanks, AdArena!)

"Down, down, down, the stomach thru
Down, down, down, the system too!
With Alka Seltzer they always say,
Relief is just a fart away!"


Yay.

Spotted on Tokyomango, here's a 90's ad featuring Arnold Schwarzenneger advertising an energy drink called "Arinamin V" in Japan. The clip itself is a treasure of weirdness when you don't understand japanase, but fortunately, our friend Lisa at Tokyomango took the care to explain:

"Schwarzenegger wins a bunch of money at a strictly business mahjongg game that he and his business partners are hosting. (He was supposed to let the client win.) His partner, the guy on the right, freaks out, saying "No no no, you're not supposed to win!" As expected, the defeated (and humiliated) client says: "Mr. Inoue, I'm sorry, but we'll have to retract from the previous agreement." Arnold hides behind the wall, and emerges saying "Daijou-V!" And the chorus starts chanting the same thing. (Daijobu means "it's all good" in Japanese.) All of a sudden, everything is all good. The businessmen shred the papers, forget the formalities, and have a blast. Arnold has saved the day without using superpowers or politics."

Wow. I could never have guessed. (Thanks, Tokyomango!)

Friday Vintage Ads: Vintage Print (0)

Friday, September 08, 2006 by , under , , , , , , ,

Here's something I Stumbled Upon - a page full of print ads from 50s and 60s, reminding us how primitive the middle 20th century sometimes was. Nothing like nowadays, TEH FUTURE.
Here are a few delicious morsels, among my favorites :

When you can't avoid the canes anymore. Thorazine.

No time to feel sad and depressed, you got BREAKFAST TO COOK, heck. Let your husband prescribe you Mornidine, he saw it in an ad.

My eyes are bleeding.

You found a great new one-liner for your latest ad.
You tell your art director, who instantly replies:
"Man, that's already been done before".
What? You can't believe someone already thought of those exact words.
These words...they are the epitome of what your brain is going to produce at 3am on a tuesday.
You just don't believe it.
"Wanna bet?", replies your art director.
Shit yeah, you say.

He points you to

AdSlogans and its Hall of Fame section.

And tells you search in "J" for Just Do It.
