MAD Magazine used to make merciless fun of these kinds of ads. You can see why - it looks like bad craziness is about to erupt at any moment.

It's like they're about to wife-swap. Or murder everyone and hide them under the crazy=paving driveway.

I think cannibalism. Why d'you think they've laid out the good china? One really musn't eat longpig on paper plates.

I agree. After all, there are four of them but only three beers and there's a plant where one'd expect the fourth table setting.

Actually, five people. The husband has open bottles on a tray, a sign of impending messes.

I'm reminded of the story from 1988, when Dukakis invited a major union rep to his home and served him half a can of beer.

By the way, I love your Max Headroom icon!

Dang, I can't believe I only saw 2 people in the back at first. Must've been a long day.

Somewhere, I've got most if not all the Max Headroom episodes on tape from back in the olden days. I liked that show.
