There was nothing wrong with these TV ads at the time. But they wouldn’t air in these “Oh, wait, I’m offended” days.

Here is our collection of the most offensive ads from times past.

Goodyear: When ‘There’s No Man Around’ commercial (1960)

  2. Steve Martin, Martin Short, Selena Gomez Recreate ‘Father Of The Bride’

Interesting marketing for the time. Corporate sexism or just a sign of the time? Possibly a sign of things to come?! Lilly Ledbetter sued Goodyear claiming she was paid less than men doing the same work.

Kool-Aid Kids In Japan Commercial (1960)

An extremely politically incorrect 1960 television commercial for Kool-Aid, featuring the Kool-Ad Kids visiting Japan (evidently in the 16th Century, too). Mel Blanc provides the voice of the Japanese Storyman.
