Outrageous Ads: Meet Your Father's Automobile, the Nervous Housewife, the Smoking Doctor and the Bearded Baby

4.4/5 ( ratings)

This hilarious treasury of old ads, accompanied by Parker's bright quips,celebrates an age of innocence when advertisers could show us any old thing. How about a baby with a razor or tobacco chew? Or a gal combing her sleeping guy's trousers in search of war-bond dollars, a wife in love with cutlery. Unhealthy claims include soda pop promoted as a baby drink and bone-crushing corsets urged for little girls. Among other dubious propositions are the chin-reducing head cage and bile beans as the key to physical fitness. Outrageous Ads reminds us not to believe everything we're sold.
