Can we just talk about what a positive role-model for boys and young men the 1989 Gillette man was? 1989 Gillette man was a loving father, a go-getter at work, a respected member of his community and enjoyed a healthy and active lifestyle. As a woman, this is the guy that I'd want in my life, and it's the guy that I'd want to see my son become. Can we *please* bring back these kinds of ads?

[@kimmiewise1044]

​@@petersmithyy4556 Yet Gillette decided to demonize that same commerical in 2019 as from a "toxic" era of men nit being the best yet expecting the best from a razor company. It was such a slap in the face to their consumers. Labeling men as bullies, sexual harassers and misogynists. Why doesn't L'OREAL show all of the shitty things women do and ask "Are you REALLY worth it?" In a plea for women to "do better"? Because women aren't the ones being demonized in society as the source of all problems. I'm sure many abusive, manipukative and bitchy women use L'Oreal just as much as sexists, abusers, and harassers use Gillette. But no one ever wonders if women are worth it, if we deserve care, if we should "Stay happy" (Tagline of Always pads). These products fed into womens egos just like mens advertising. But now we're no longer allowed to actually market to men. We have to market to women to market to men or society is sexist. Ironically Gillette is the mist sexist company for thinking it can insult their male consumer base and get away with it. It

If you are an 80's kid, as a boy you felt the inspiration and responsibility that came with being a man. There was a feeling of wanting to be better.

[@skree272]

They wont untill they realise the men they demonise are the ones buying thier razors

[@Dang3rMouSe]

Agreed. As a guy when I just saw that 1st commercial for the 1st time that I can remember (maybe saw it as a child?) it hit me right in the feels, particularly the parts showing a father & son cause we're just about to have our 1st boy. I even said to myself mentally "I gotta make sure I save up & create a situation where I can pass down a car to him." It makes me want to be that guy, an ideal good husband, good father & a good man. A goal to strive for. The 2nd commercial did nothing but seriously piss me off & cause me to shut down regardless of their intention. What doesn't help is that I've also seen the entire long version of that commerical. "Boys will be boys" fathers say as they watch 2 boys fighting it out. While to some it might seem cruel to let them wrestle & duke it out, it is natural male behavior that has existed since before recorded history. We would break them up if it got out of hand or went on too long. When over we tell them "It is now done so be men & shake hands. Now it's in the past." If we as a society want to greatly reduce the out of line assholes with overinflated egos out there that can only think with their dick or behave like a dick, it is very simple. 1st we need positive strong male role models to look up to. We need good guys who show proper behavior, strong morals, self control, personal responsibility & accountability. 2nd, as a society we must allow those of us who can put these guys in their place to take care of them without risk of legal consequences. This was the accepted social norm till fairly recently. I remember just how shocked & then pissed my dad was when, in highschool, I beat the hell outta a guy who smacked my gf's ass. My dad wasn't reacting that way because of what I did. It was because the school suspended me for it. As an adult, if I take care of an asshole (which is the natural inclination of every good man,) I run the risk of a criminal record that could ruin my life.

[@kimmiewise1044]

​@@Dang3rMouSe To yiur kast point, god for ud if that asshole was a female or identifed as a female despite being male. I see these limp wristed fuckers in videos and everytime they receive even the slighest push back for their outrageous behavior suddenly the people trying to prevent violence or harn to innocent parties are "transphobic" or "pigs" for daring to not allow them to be absolute assholes and do what they want. I have seen cases of good men stopping protestors from battering women and then be called nazi's and alt-right for preventing a bunch of men from beating the shit out of a woman over differences in opinion. No wonder man just sit back and do nothing anymore when seeing that stuff go down. Don't want to be accused of sexism or transphobia for protecting females. Might as well like these strong, independent wahman post up with Mr. Ma'am and see how far that goes. But good men do whats right regardless of the consequences. I know that. I know its hard being a good man when society punishes you for every single time. I'm sorry. But know that women like me exist. We don't believe that men are toxic, sexist, or privileged. You guys are our equal and opposite, you are stronger than me, I am more emotional that you. But we are both human beings. Being different doesn't mean being lesser or more than. But it does mean we need to work together. Women think they don't need to work with men, dome men think they don't need to work with women. But at the end of the day we need eachother for happy and healthy lives. As individuals and as a society. Men and women are equal m, they should never be identical.

Send this to Joe Rogan and his friend while they drinking Bud light and tells us there is no woke agenda

[@clazza65]

Joke Rogan.

[@mr_reborn]

They probably paid for that promotion

[@rebellion6468]

​@@mr_reborn he's not paid for that. Joe Rogan is a liberal.

[@cheifcreekturtle]

Wow the 1989 ad was beautiful! Could almost bring you to tears. A dad bathing a little baby. Dads being men! Men being celebrated! That’s the uplifting reassurance men need! 😢

[@j3054]

Also, those 80s and 90s commercial jingles were really effective. After watching Saturday morning cartoons, you’d walk away from the tv longing for one of those G.I. Joe backyards (which were impossible to recreate) and singing to yourself: “The best part of waking up, is Folgers in your cup.”

EIGHT HUNDRED FIVE EIGHT EIGHT, TWO THREE HUNDRED *EMPIRE*

[@DylanSolberg3dPN]

That is the first time I have seen both, and the old one is very nice and means a lot. The new one can hang itself. They are trying to erase the accomplishments and hardships of men, and also the relationships with their sons

[@usps7658]

That's their plan to extinguish the nuclear family.

[@AndySaenz]

I can’t believe we have to go that far back to 1989 to find a good Gillette commercial!

[@aitnobetafaq]

That first add made me feel so good i almost wanted to buy Gilettr again. No never again for stuffing a narative down my throat.

[@MyBallzInYourJaws]

Wow, that 1989 advertisement made me tear up. It's shocking to see these things are considered rare now a days, sad times.

[@TheSmurf1973]

Damn, I remember that 1989 ad. What a flashback!

[@krail5500]

Haven't used Gillette since that commercial. Go woke, go broke!

[@Zyklon_B_still_and_know_God]

Jokes on you they still make the razor you use under a different name

​@@Zyklon_B_still_and_know_God That proves the saying.

Those aren't men chasing that kid. Those are boys.

[@danielcobia7818]

That part in the 1989 add where dad's holding his naked baby son is incredibly precious.

[@FatKidBrody]

That's when men were men instead of cucks.

[@karenbrown4524]

I remember this glorious commercial as if it were yesterday. I was only 26 and *NEVER* would have imagined life would take the shape it has. It's awful and putrid.

[@RealWunderBanana]

I’m happy these companies aren’t targeting real men anymore. Imagine being upset that a commercial isn’t directly targeting you and preying on you. I’m a man, I was raised by my father, not a television. I don’t need commercials to tell me who I am.

[@8bitfilms584]

The first commercial is actually pretty inspiring ngl

[@MustangWriter]

All it takes is one generation... 30-40 years... to forget the past

[@rlast1523]

This was when there was sanity in this world.

[@TheEncouragementKid]

Dang that old commercial made me feel a bit nostalgic and slightly emotional. That's wild. We gotta be the best we can be

[@kidkovid567]

I miss the 80s and 90s

[@elykalontar3847]

This is essentially a different time and a different country

[@Manudyne]

That 1989 ad was pretty epic

[@oldmangranny5oldmangranny56]

The first ad actually made me feel teary. Is it cause I was born around that time? idk.

As someone born in 94, seeing that old Gillette advert is so refreshing...I would genuinely be swayed to go out of my way to buy their products if they released an advert like that today

[@seanchan4478]

Damn, that first commercial had me inspired

[@Billydevito]

I would’ve kept buying Gillette and my sons would’ve used Gillette too. Now I won’t even let my wife buy Gillette. GOODBYE FOREVER GILLETTE.

[@spraynard9529]

Because they made one ad that said bullying is bad?

[@nickgennady]

@@spraynard9529 it was more than just sad bullying and females bully to but they just trashed there audience. Also the whole”boys will be boys” and saying it’s bad is dumb. Boys are allowed to play fight

[@heftymagic4814]

​@@spraynard9529 because they made an ad saying masculinity is bad

[@Customerbuilder]

It's all of Procter & Gamble that have done this. Not just Gillette.

[@rivertjr6501]

@@Customerbuilder well the elites are obviously having an attack on masculinity and testosterone even the chemicals they use on our “food” produces has testosterone lowering qualities and other negative effects for men. I believe it’s all about control they want men-women so that they don’t have to worry about an uprising

[@barbaraparks98]

Not only men but women too. This world has turned into a freak show. If they think God has turned a blind eye or a deaf ear, they had better think again!

[@icedsmoke]

Man that 1989 commercial gives lots of nostalgia. Why can’t simple things be like they used to be?
