Now days there are controversial commercials that get aired all the time. But what about the past? When an ad is causes a stir now, its all over the internet, and social media almost instantly. However back in the olden days that wasn't the case. So what are some examples of some vintage ads that may have crossed the line. I'll start This one is very subtle, especially by today's standards... So if you can't figure it out. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Old maids was a term for women who never got married, and were lifelong virgins. So they'd never been "popped". Ok, your turn FAN! |

Having problems viewing the video. Click on it, it won't play and, opening the link, it leads me to the main youtube page with a question mark in the url.

Withdrawn after 2 weeks. Uncomfortable viewing to say the least.

Controversial when?
Now or at the time?
Now pretty much every cigarette commercial.

The toy may be more controversial than the ad itself (mainly due to kids actually being shot and killed by cops because they thought the guns were real), but I'd count it.

this ad for Yoshi's Island was changed to be less "gross" after complaints.

Tango face slapping. I took many of them in the playground. Yeah if I remember the ad man who created the ad ordered it be pulled after receiving a letter from a doctor who had to treat several children with burst ear-drums due to that particular "craze". |

Some Creeeeeepypasta right here! This was a legitimate pulled Capcom advert that depicts beloved childhood toy's committing suicide. It's quite frankly the most frightening thing I've seen in a long while. Suicide is something you just really shouldn't joke about when your trying to flog the latest Street Fighter!
