The Monkees

Not only are these photos singularly unflattering, but they make the boys look like the Bad Posture Kings.

Here's Some More Intermission Ads

I haven't posted any drive-in intermission ads videos in awhile, so here's a nice little clip for your pleasure. They're vintage, they're fun.


Many Thanks to YouTube

Dreams Of The Mid-Century Pubescent

When I was a teenager in the 60s and the hormones were running high, I was always looking for a televised movie that had some sexually provocative imagery in it. I can tell you that I would have been extremely excited to see a movie that incorporated a scene like the one above in a scary movie. Even though, in this particular rendition, no overt nudity is to be seen. But the potential is definitely there.


But, one could not, in those days, expect to see the sort of stuff you could see in a "man's magazine" in the sort of movie they might acquire for local broadcast.


Pity.

Just Don't Try To Sell It On The Front Lawn

More Subliminal Advertising?

Chubba-Fageela Foodstuffs didn't care who they offended in their quest to vanquish Dairy Queen forever from the fast food market. To everybody but DQ executives, this advertising card said "Cool Off, Kids!". The FDA could never figure out how Lycanthro Versatile Ads was able to achieve this feat, but they knew they wanted to somehow shut 'em down.

Before 155 Channels

Yes, you are definitely aging yourself if you recognize what this is. Back in the days of broadcast TV, you hated to see this test pattern/notice screen appear on your set. It means you were missing part of your program while the boys at the station house frantically worked to resolve the problem. 


"Damn. And Sheena was about to lean over..."

It's Intermission Time!

I haven't posted any of those wonderful drive-in intermission ads in awhile so here's one for ya. This one has several major sequences, but the one to watch for is the second one, which has an awesome harpsichord component. It's one of my most favorite refreshment commercials.

Wysonda Had Finally Done It

She had attained the highest hair of her gang of girl friends.


Little did she know that her mates were commenting behind her back on how the new height accentuated the shortness of her face.
