Ahh...the good old days of America.

Notice the women aren't making fun of their husband, insulting him or making him to be the idiot? Nope, the man was out working his butt off and the woman was taking care of the house and he's just enjoying some time with friends over a good smoke.

This is ridiculous!!!




Time traveling cigarettes haven't been invented yet.

AMERICA! Fuck yeah!

 

[mmntech]

It truly was a different era. Back when smoking was not just socially acceptable, but the social norm.

Ah the good old days. A car in every drive and a cancerous lung in every chest.

I've encountered this video countless times over the last 10 years. Since YouTube, I thought everyone had encountered this.

You don't think Wilma and Betty ever mocked their husbands?!

Wilma and Betty routinely mocked their hubbies.

Of course they did...wimmenz have been mocking their menfolk since...well...since the caveman days...BUT, commercials HAVE changed dramatically since the "olden days." Nowadays, men are stupid and incompetent...and the wimmenz are so much smarter and know everything...🙄

The very thought of using cartoon characters today to push cigs would cause widespread apoplexy.

Of course, 20-30 years before that Flintstones ad, you had doctors in magazine ads singing the praises of certain cigarette brands.

Well, even that old commercial depicted the men as lazy.

I'm all for these commercials. They should be allowed.

You say "lazy" like it's a bad thing.

Fred Flintstone worked in a rock quarry. Hard physical labor. He was entitled to be "lazy" around the house and have his woman wait on him, hand & foot. He earned the money for everything they had.

"WILL-LL-MA! Make me a sammich...NOW!"
