JamesR Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 The other day I mentioned that an old car commercial on TV that I thought was ultra-cool back when I was 11 or 12 didn't seem very cool to me anymore. By contrast, this AMC Rebel commercial from about the same era seems just about as funny today as it did back when I was a kid. Maybe comedy ages better than "cool" does? Well, good comedy, anyway. Feel free to post humorous ads and commercials. They don't have to be real old like the Rebel spot, but preferably something that isn't current. To tell the truth, I can't remember seeing a funny car commercials over the last 10 years, but I don't watch TV ads when I can help it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8E45E Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Most of the funny ads I've seen are either not "politically correct" these days, or they make fun of women drivers. Interesting observation of a 1957 Studebaker ad here: https://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/forum/your-studebaker-forum/general-studebaker-specific-discussion/50535-57-studebaker-advertising-from-the-bible Craig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) Here is one that you may enjoy: "Love that Bobcat!" This Mercury ad dates from the 1970's. It's funny, and it also has an upbeat, catchy tune: Edited November 3, 2021 by John_S_in_Penna (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_S_in_Penna Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Remember in the 1980's when General Motors' smaller "full-sized" cars all looked alike? Lincoln made an ad ridiculing them, and offering its larger Town Car. Here's the humorous ad. I think you'll enjoy it: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
