Wow...just when you think the 70's can't shock you any further.

I was ready for the knee socks, the roller skates, heck, even the mustache... but add in raunchy underwear - over tights - I can't even summon the words....

I really like these - not so much the art direction of the photos but the underwear itself is great. The ruler! The hot dog that says 'I can't believe I ate the whole thing' ...

I do wish I could find green glittery tights like that. Probably about the only thing in the ad I would wear, though! It's funny, however, that we always think of sexual mores as getting progressively looser, yet you would never find anything that blatant even in a sex shop nowadays.

If you want tights like that, come to China.

Probably because they're so damn TACKY. I bet all those models retired after this shoot out of sheer embarrassment. (Though I admit I'd buy the flamey one.)

That first guy just makes me think it's Walton Goggins or Boyd Crowder, which is a THOUSAND times funnier. XD

"I dreamt I went to a roller disco in my British Bulldog Underwear... Oh, crap, I'm not watching XXXanadu."

I thought of the wrestling duo before I clicked.

I just spent far too long trying to figure out what is on the underwear that the first woman is wearing - the dark-haired one - is it a tea kettle? A helmet with a plume?

I think polymexina is right...it's a teapot that a genie lives in that will grant you three wishes. ;)

Oh. Migod.

Wow. Those have to be the most UNsexy underwear ads ever made. Even if they were wearing something other than cheesy Underoos for grownups, I don't think those ads'd look good.

The second page looks like an ad for a porno movie.

Wasn't "Underwear that's funtawear" used for kids' underwear, too?

Yes. Underoos (http://www.liketotally80s.com/underoos.html). Additionally, the use of "I can't believe I ate the whole thing," which was Alka Seltzer's tagline, tells me this company was not so concerned about trademark infringement.

So how long did it take until the Underoos people hit them with a copyright infringement charge?

LOL They're raunchy, but still amusing.
