Those ads were considered not offensive back than as they often before 1970s. It was also a different time. There are no ads from 1980s I could not see.

You obviously never saw "Pretty Baby" back in the day.

The lysol one freaked me out a bit. Seems wrong to use that product in the location the ad told people to.

I'm just catching up to these today.  I have to say right off the bat that the Jello one is pretty bad.  Especially the copy.  Holy crap!  But, these are hilarious.. "the harder a wife works, the cuter she looks."  I must be gorgeous.

I was not offended by the Plymouth one, or the Camels one. 

Nor the Schlitz.  That was pretty funny.  They're just going to drink dinner. 

"For a better start in life, start cola earlier."   :rofl:  Shameless, shameles marketing. 

Chase & Sanborn, really, really bad.  Awful.

The Van Heusen ties one, with the wife knelt beside the bad:  Horrible, and the ties are shockingly ugly, too. 

Lysol!!!   :o

I can't stand in judgement.  That was the culture and I must respect all cultures.  Right?
