Some really nice African- American print advertisements from 50/60s.
notice how directly coaxing some of these ads’ where back then, not to say that they aren’t now, you could say they tend to use more subtle methods.
the ad above is one of my favorites, ‘it reminds me of an episode of the Simpson’s when’(the amount of times I say that in conversation) Homer & Marge are watching an old clip of ‘itchy & scratchy’. In reference to the era’s ironic style of advertising tobacco, midway through the show stops for a cheesy commercial;
itchy is brought a cigarette from the director, later joined by scratchy. The director the then comments on the taste of the smokes ,’I don’t know what’s in ‘em, I just know I can’t stop smoking ‘em!’ and ends abruptly with the three all laughing chronically coughing up their insides!
