Color Tv Ad from 1968

Let's do the checklist here. This ad uses:

- Sex
- Wholesome family imagery
- Catchy, 'hip' music which is really just a knockoff of a genre which had already long gone mainstream
- Implicit suggestion of "need" rather than "want"

So... advertising hasn't changed in 40 years, except for the fact that the ad is an entire minute long.

The Ghost of Corporate Future

People make you nervous, you'd think the world is ending, and everybody's features have somehow started blending, and everything is plastic, and everyone's sarcastic, and all your food is frozen and needs to be defrosted... you'd think the world was ending, you'd think the world was ending, you'd think the world was ending right now...

Well, maybe you should just drink a lot less coffee, and never ever watch the ten o'clock news. Maybe you should kiss someone nice, or lick a rock, or both. Maybe you should cut your own hair 'cause that can be so funny – it doesn't cost any money and it always grows back (hair grows even after you're dead).

And people are just people, they shouldn't make you nervous. The world is everlasting, it's coming and it's going. If you don't toss your plastic, the streets won't be so plastic, and if you kiss somebody then both of you'll get practice.

The world is everlasting. Put dirtballs in your pocket. Put dirtballs in your pocket and take off both your shoes, 'cause people are just people, people are just people, people are just people like you...
