Thavage Amusement – Your daily dose of humor, jokes and mirth

     I’m all for advertising agencies taking their efforts to the next level; especially for the super bowl.  I think Christian Bale being channeled by a 70 year old grandmother is both hot and tempting to the geritol audience.  I imagine showing senior citizens in “action” is just the tip of the soon-to-be-revealed ice berg. 

Does anyone else remember a Jackson’s breast flash on national TV?  I think that might have even been a football game of sorts?  I predict we’ll be seeing more of Grandma kernel than we may have planned sooner or later.

Totally crap – Great AIDS awareness commercial - NSFW

A great Justin Bieber look alike faceplant

Totally crap – Tourists caught boning on top of historic landmark – NSFW

This brings the epic of painful-to-watch and omfg to new levels folks.

We totally appreciate the Darwinian level at which the snuggie plummets.  Reasonable expectations lend the next versions to include onboard electronics or appliances to help weed out the sick & weak from the herd.  We foresee a butt warmer and then perhaps a toaster oven coming soon.

And the best part ever………………………..people actually pay for this crap.

Cheers.

Now I understand how dynamite and sausages look somewhat similar?  We’ve all seen Elmer Fudd & Wile E. Coyote go through cases of that stuff in pursuit of their goals to capture their prized meal.  Why exactly a gentlemen in China attempted to create a bomb vest from brautwurst is yet unclear.  The story out of Benxi China, is riddled with subtle oddities we can all appreciate.  I’d imagine Mr. He’s wife may miss the meal more than him.  I’m quite sure the same folks who brought us rat poison in powdered milk are on top of the case.

Original Trimble ad for the Kiddie Koop

In a post in the J-Walk Blog, it was identified that the vast majority of doctors found this type of confinement safe and practical.
Originally shared in the “Protestant Family” advertising collection from the 1950’s era, it brings back some plain questions like:
Why don’t we use these today?
Who doesn’t worry about little Billy hurting his mother by hurling weeble wobbles at blazing speeds?
When did these become bad?

What do you think about it?

Totally crap – Iraqi military rhythym oh yeah

Remember the smurfs? (creepy)

Totally crap – stunt jump fail

In a recent  medical mesearch study conducted at the same ivy league university of “Bourbon hurts more” fame, 18 – 44 year old men were  discovered that that unique chemical signatures found in bacon release both pheremones and endorphines in the male brain.  While this has been suspected for some time it has now been proven that men are both gratified and excited chemically at the thought of eating more bacon.

Ladies you know what to do.

Oh yes, you’ve got to love advertising agencies who treat their work like art.

Pushing the envelope and forcing the viewer to ask questions like “why not” and “what about me?”  While we here at Thavage sometimes find artists going a touch too far, this is a must see example of a tasteful and thought provoking ad while still selling a brand.

Great work!

Let us begin with the most cheesy from the 60’s.  Some guys from Philly jacked Santa’s ride on the way into town for some reindeer feed.  That’ll teach him to take the bypass.

Then we move into dangerous products that St. Nick might endorse willingly?  This was before filters folks.  He even gave a signed confession.  If he was sucking coffin nails all these years I wonder what other “habits” he might’ve picked up on his exotic travels.

 He was serial.

Finally, our gravest commercial attempt to humanize and relate to the jolly old elf. We’ve resorted to the lowest form of loathsome entertainment for the sake of our bent little minds. 
Yes folks I mean, Santa porn.   Scroll down if you dare.
