Seems like somebody in the marketing department of yesteryear had a rather unorthodox approach to board games. This risque ad leaves little to the imagination and plenty of questions about what exactly constituted family game night during the swinging '60s. While today's adverts are all about hashtag relatability, vintage ads were clearly no stranger to shock value. Who knew that a simple gathering over a game board could suggest such spicy evenings? Remember, Monopoly never started with a wink and an invitation like this one.

Offensive or funny? Maybe funny because what else can you do but laugh at something that was actually totally acceptable at one time? I'm not sure I would have liked being a woman in the past. What about you?

Most of these are fake, also how is sexism funny? And "old dick" was a perfectly fine chocolate bar name. Dick used to mean Richard and not penis. People didn't call their penis' dicks till early 80's late 70's. Still don't get how you find sexism funny. I really hope young impressionable girls don't read these, even as a joke, it's not funny and not how you should spread these. Maybe "vintage ads that are super horrible" or "vintage ads that were super sexist against women"

This is so funny! Love it

These are hilarious

Better things to do with your hands, lmao!!!!

Some of these are spoofs not real ads

"Erectile-the old Viagara, & "The Man Trap,-padded bras and jeans, still apply."

I agree m4nd4 it's all the same just not as in your face

No. 30 !!

Most of these adds tell woman how to be better for their man.sexism at the peak.

Too funny!!!
