CanuckSARTech Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Some old ads are just brutal. My wife and I have recently been watching the tv series "Mad Men". It's about advertising executives in the 50's and 60's. Amazing stuff, and with a dry-wit, funny as hell outlook on some of the various ad campaigns that were thought up back then. A very worthwhile show to watch, if you see the dark (maybe twisted) humour in some of those ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkz Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Some classics indeed! Re: Mad Men. Looked thru a couple of episodes a few months ago. It was well made and everything but it was just so darn boring. Couldnt see the hype and didnt finish the first season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing these. And I've been a day one Mad Men fan! These ads reminded me of MM directly, Oh how cruel the world once was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A proper Northern English mans shirt. Anyway,what's wrong with eating lard? Great ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldnt see the hype and didnt finish the first season. I actually agree. My wife and I got the whole first 2 seasons from somewhere, and so we were able to watch the episodes in pretty quick succession. Yes, I found it very slow and methodical at first, and season 1 definitely seemed to drag on. But, season 2 and 3 definitely made things worthwhile - the wit, humour, and pacing is much better. The first season is definitely an investment in watching, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
