Funny, odd, or the most absurd ads you have ever seen....

Very healthy this one...

Blimey, I'm going to be having nightmares tonight!!!

I'd bet $1 that many of these originated in the heads of the company president. "My wife came up with a great idea this morning and I want you to run with it. "Peter Pain! Love it. OK. Go."

Like Granny's breath is any better than Libbie's!

I love this one too...

Yeah, but Granny already has a man, so she's complete as a woman.

When I was a kid I remember these ads in almost all of the magazines.

Sorry, I find Google Translate can be off pretty often, especially when it comes to Japanese and its grammar. It's got the syntax all wrong, which can and does change the meaning all around, or even turn into gibberish. I'm sure you've all had experiences with Japanese translated into English that doesn't make sense

The correct phrase in this case should be, " Idai na buta, Banzai!!":eusa_doh:
Buta idaina, banzai in Japanese means, "swine, great hurrah "

Thank you!

I've tried translating things on the Babel Fish a few times only to have it come out like complete gibberish. lol!!

Thank you!

Unfortunately, to really get anything out of Babel Fish it helps to already know something of the language you're translating. Once I was trying to translate the expression "a little bit" into Spanish and it came out as "un pequeño digito binario" -- not exactly what I was looking for.

If I ever told any woman that it's a man's world even if I was wearing a tie that nice, I would have gotten a frying pan to the head.

I was going to say that I have to get me one of those ties if that is the case.

 

[Deco-Doll-1928]

Why does it seem like all the ads for cigarettes seem to be the most funny? lol!!

That woman needs the Iver Johnson to fix Peter Pain. At least Iver Johnson has a bit of truth in advertising there. It ain't a toy. They did make bicycles too and they were toys of a sort that could likely kill you when used wrongly.

Yes, Cola is certainly a better choice for Dentists who are putting their children through college.

lol! I'll go get the band-aids.

I like the tie towards the bottom of the ad the most.

 

[Deco-Doll-1928]

lol lol lol

I'm sorry I really love this one. They should make a comic book, movie, or TV show about him! Someone start printing the t-shirts! I love Peter Pain! I see from his picture that he doesn't have problems growing up like a certain other character that does.

Santa is stuffing Lucky Strikes in those stockings this year.

I tell my wife that all the time.

Yeah right lady. If you can't open it then you have the hand strength of a one year old.

It's very kind of you, thanks !

I have another one. Very harsh this one...

The ties must have a mass hypnosis effect.
