The 3rd is my favorite.
Imagine an ad agency pitching this to you today:
"...all of the sudden, a gang of mobsters breaks into the room and starts unloading their machine guns into the man sitting in your company's office chair.
The bloody bullet-holes on his white shirt will form the shape of your company logo.
The man will slump over and fall dead in a heap, but your company's office chair will remain unscathed, good as new!"
Such dark humor, I like it!
3rd gets my vote...so much...
3rd gets my vote...so much going for it.
Amateur film school students homage to the silent film and film noir...the tongue in cheek humor of both logo peppered character (good or bad? serial killer?) and the unharmed chair which coincidentally already has "holes". Gotta love the pin-up centerfolds in the background... Beloved, your ad pitch is right on. Witnessing reactions in the room would've been priceless
Runner up would be the first, Cowboy Eames saddle...surreal. Malboro Man type reference (meaning Gay)?
Second commercial was creepy in a Tex Avery & Robert Crumb way. Ending left me feeling like I just witnessed a CEO rape fantasy.
Such sexually charged commercials for the era...bored and distant executives requiring celluloid Ritalin in between vapid presentations. Where in the world were these shown?
Thanks for sharing=)
Mildly amusing, but ...
not commercials. These are spoofs produced for once-only showing to an in-house audience -- probably a sales meeting sometime in the early 60s.
Objective was to keep the audience awake by breaking up a series of droning corporate exec presentations illustrated by 35 mm slides. But -- thank you, Don Draper -- the slides would've been displayed via Kodak Carousel projectors.
that makes sense........
These would be way too much for the joe sixpacks of this red white and blue nation.
They have a high art film quality, plus naked chicks. The "shoot em up one" is like a jazzy Goddard slippery diamond.
Best of all these films illustrate that when relaxing Satan himself sits on Herman Miller.
BeLoved, thank you for this golden discovery.........
