Ads from the past that would never work in todays time
You will notice thousands of ads running on television in a day. All the ads have their uniqueness and idea with a mind-blowing concept.
Talking about vintage ads
Few of the vintage ads did not follow moral standards and ethics. A few ads’ concept and content were terrible, which included offensive, racist, sexist, and funny ads. Adding to this, it can be said that today’s commercial ads are diamond. They are useful as gold. The Vintage ads are as followed.
- Doesn’t Your Mama Wash You With Fairy Soap?
- Use “Chlorinol” And Be Like De White Nigger
- Cocaine Toothache Drops
- Keep Her Where She Belongs A Shoe Ad
- Show Her; It’s A Man’s World
- Youngest Customers In The Business (It’s a Seven-up ad, and a baby consuming the drink.)
- Men Are Better Than Women! (Again, an ad that is trying to create a difference between men and women.)
- More Doctors Smoke Camels (This is a type of ad which is motivating people to smoke.)
- Blow In Her Face (Again, an ad-related to smoking and giving rise to smokers.)
- Begin Early. Shave Yourself (Gillette safety razor ad which is showcasing a baby with a razor)
- Smoking Santa (Lucky strike brand ad)
- The first rule A long-lasting Deodorant (These advertising companies believed that women were “beautiful but dumb” and would buy anything they told them to.)
So this is how the vintage ads use to be, and it would never work in this era as the ads did not follow the ethics. The advertisements also created gender, cast, and color discrimination. So Ads from the past would never work in today’s time. Today’s commercial ads are relevant to our times or made as per the target audience.
