Lardy lardy Lardy!!! AIR!!!

I know,this has probably happened to you. You’re doing your shopping, about to pick up your usual loo paper . Out of the corner of your eye, you see what looks like a new loo paper the shelf . You suddenly can’t decide between the two..... twenty minutes later , you’re still... standing there, deciding between them.....

So you read the fine print, it helps.....


Quilton 3 ply toilet tissue is now even softer our secret ingredient ; AIR

They are selling us AIR!!!

AIR!!! I hope it doesn't cost anymore, all that technology and all!

AIR!!!








AIR!!!












This one cracks me up, the fine print reads,Funeral Services Berganen & Sons



I think advertising/marketing gurus are really highschool kids, you know the ones, that can run with anything and make it funny for the next hour. And its been the same kids ...for years...





actually....you'd be surprised!





what? I presume a guy wrote this one?




of course they are!

    Who wouldn't be happy eating lard?

    And the VD is priceless.

    I once heard a grandmother say, when referring to an acquaintance who had gained a lot of weight, "She's larded up considerable."

    And I can't think of lard without that phrase coming to mind.

    And of course I've larded up considerable myself. But I don't drink cola.

    Those were great! "Everyone's pal" Heehee. Lard? Wow, Makes my stomach turn thinking about it.

    Still chuckling about the loose woman passing along her STD. Not that a loose GUY could do that. Nope.

    Love these. Very funny. My mother put coffee in my bottle when I was a baby. She rubbed my gums with whiskey and she let me drink coffee for breakfast at 9. Today she'd be in jail! I think I'm ok though. Can't tell if being nutty is a result of diet or genetics. haha

    Hmmm, I wonder if that's where the term "lard ass" came from?!

    I laughed at your indignation at them selling you air!

    Those adverts are great. I especially like the funeral directors one and the one about std, so funny.

    OMG THESE ARE AAAAAAAMAAAAZING!!! Where did you find these? I almost spit out my coffee on the lard one. Too funny. What do you think people are going to make fun of that we use as advertising 60 years from now??

    It turns out the lard ad is a spoof from the British satirical comic Viz, issue 52, February / March 1992, on page 21. It's not a real advertisement.
