This would be like finding out terrorists struck the World Trade Center years before 2001.. Oh wait

Behold this creepy ad for a voluntary swine flu vaccine from the 70′s.

While the creepiness is timeless, the relevance comes from the recent 21st century outbreak, of which it is impossible to not be aware if you are reading this on the internet.

Remember, transferring the disease is as simple as making eye-contact, so, much like encountering a gorilla, remember to freeze in your tracks and stare at the floor if you encounter a coughing individual, taking great care to not flare your nostrils.

Welcome to flavor country

If you watch this ad for Estonian meat without sound, it’s a lot like the scenes in the movie Event Horizon where everyone has space madness. Watching it with the sound on, it’s more like a Bjork video (just as disturbing).

This commercial from Soviet-era Estonia conjures images of grotesque and surreal Polish movie posters for American movies, Salvador Dali’s short shock film Un chien andalou, and the boat ride from the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

The strangest thing about this bizarre commercial is that after a lifetime of being fed so much processed food, the image of fresh ground chuck coming out of a grinder is strangely appetizing to me. This commercial breaks all the rules and comes out with a paradoxical visual product you cannot look away from, like MSNBC’s morning show coverage in St. Paul. You cannot put a microphone on a guest while the camera is on them! Can you? Oh my god they are doing it.

This will change your life

Funnyordie.com has uncovered a commercial for a video seminar on mastering the interneticals from the thick of 1994. Man I sure did look stupid back then. Nothing like how awesome I look right now (adjusting my Rastafarian hat).

This is one of the best parodies I’ve seen in a while, some of the small details are so good you could easily be fooled into thinking it’s the real deal until it gets to the more ridiculous sections. For instance, the fake tape-transfer titles in the beginning are totally off the hook.

If I could give higher than an A+ I would, but then we would lose our academic credentials.

‘I was in the pool!’ Remember that? That was funny.

This ancient ad for McDonald’s failed product roll-out of the McD.L.T. features a young and spry Jason Alexander. In the song if this is Alexander really singing it’s a bit of a surprise to hear a competent singing voice coming out of Jerry’s screaming sidekick. And watch how cat-like he is when he jumps into frame.

Aside from it being made of NastyMeat®, the McD.L.T. required an abominable amount of Styrofoam to keep the hot things hot and the cool things cool. While a good idea in theory, having to assemble a burger flies in the face of the entire concept of fast food. Why not give me two separate cups, one with ice, and one with liquid and have me mix them together you jackasses. What am I, a machine?
