I remember thinking the Love's Baby Soft at was weird at the time, but I wasn't creeped out like I am now. I don't know that it could run now... though those Steve Madden ads did for the longest.
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Well, that one is pretty awful too. But I still remember an under-age Brooke Shields and the Calvins ad, so that's sadly a bit par for the course.
What was it with the seventies and young girls in sexual situations? It seems like most of the creepiest stuff that I've seen in that vein, in terms of things in mainstream media, are from the seventies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm pretty sure the Lysol ad is actually the worst, because it is about douching with Lysol.

I've seen quite a few ads for douching with Lysol. Apparently, in addition to the "you must be totally clean and not smell at all like anything natural" message, there are also a few with subtext of using Lysol after sex so that you won't get STDs. They don't directly say that, but they say things that make no sense read any other way.
There were also apparently people who tried to use it as a sort of birth control, but it turns out that sperm is one of the few things that Lysol doesn't kill.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I think the postage meter one is worse. I don't even get what they are trying to sell there.
Yeah, I totally don't get that one. Why does he want to kill her -- does he not like the postage meter?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Maybe it's just something that's been on his mind, like "How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?"

Because books.
I got an idea of what the Lysol ad was about and quickly scrolled past. Because, WTF?
And the postage meter one really is just bizarre. And offensive.

Our wings are not tired.
Happy Birthday, Frank! Maybe instead of going to Maine you could just go fishing in Massachusetts. Quite a nice fish Rachel caught there.
Not looking at offensive ads, because yuck.
