“In 1981, one man gave another man a jar of Grey Poupon, a brand of Dijon mustard. But one man, deemed to give it back. You thought you knew the whole story, but you are egregiously mistaken.” That’s how the trailer for a new Grey Poupon ad was aired during the Oscars. Crispin Porter + Bogusky made a 2 minute short vid of the old ad, with car chases and some more action..

1984: Apple – Hammer (Chiat/Day)

The department of Colgate Dental Floss took their slogan ‘How to find food that is hidden’ very literally. In this videoclip you can see how they made a sort of vintage commercial where a professional fisherman uses the dental floss as a line. And be sure he catches something with it!

Here’s an old campaign which is worth posting. Eric Cantona, a former French international footballer who played for Marseille, Leeds United and Manchester United, was the face of Liptonic (now Lipton Ice Tea) the end of the nineties.

Last week we’ve ran across these two incredibly sexist commercials for Goodyear. Back in the sixties everybody believed women are bad drivers, just look this woman’s facial expressions.

It is rarely seen; cartoon characters playing the lead in a commercial. What’s even more surprising is a comeback of a certain campaign after several years. Well it happened to the brand Tetley, where Gaffer, Sydney and many other characters were the face of the tea manufacturer. After 10 years they’re back, and how..


The admiring thing about this campaign is that Tetley and MCBD decided to not change their characters. No 3D or other special effects, just as it used to be.. The following video shows how they revived and after the jump you can see some of their vintage adverts.
Check out their site as well, it is promising..

Horro, you either love it or hate it.
The constant striving of the makes to elicit the emotions of fear, horror and terror from viewers. The first depictions of supernatural events appear in several of the silent shorts in the late 1890s.



Since then, many horror movies have been created to scare the viewer. And for every movie, comes a poster to promote the horror. Here below you can find a fraction of all the horror-movie-posters.
If you have any other eye-catching posters, let us know! We’ll add them to our selection!
Enjoy or be terrified!

Armory and guns, they cause more misery than joy. If there is one wish that a lot of people would have in common, than it would be next to ‘world peace’, ‘burn ALL the guns’. And we can’t blame them..
Why do we actually need guns? Because others have them? Lame excuse! Yet there are a lot of proponents for guns. No, not the scum and criminals, but the hobby-shooters…



For them taking off their guns would be like playing football without a ball. It’s kind of hard to shoot an animal with a catapult isn’t it?
For this weeks’ Vintage Tuesday we’ve selected some armory/gun ads. Revolvers, shotguns and snipers..
