F'd Ad Fridays: Now with more Jordache than you can shake your ass at

I don't know if any of the rest of you clicked on the 1980 Jordache jeans spot that popped up as a reco after playing their '70s ad embedded in a previous post. I just now did:



Jordache was know in the '70s for being focussed on how tight they were on the bum.

Which is fine with adults. But translating the slogan and the ass shots to a classroom full of kids? And their teacher?

Times sure have changed. Although in the interest of full disclosure, I had myself a pair of those things on my prepubescent butt within a year after this ad was made.

Have a great weekend, all.

F'd Ad Fridays: Jordache is back to remind us that it was once a relevant brand

These retrospective ads for has-been brands can easily backfire, if they show a steady regression in cool factor.




From the chic disco divas to the People of Walmart? How the mighty have fallen.
