Chapter 3: What were some iconic ads from the early 2000s?
And so it transported me Back to another time, right? Like the early 2000s, where it feels like when you say 2000 whatever, you're like, oh yeah, that's closer to us now than like the before four time. But man, I was looking through this old magazine, it was about 25 years old, and I saw some ads in it that made me go, wow. Give it to me.
All right, so there's a Snickers ad where the tagline is, getting burned by shorty, unfortunate side effect of hunger. And so what it was was like a dude dressed, supposed to be like and one, shorts, headbands, wristbands, everything right, baggy, and a little kid in a velour sweatsuit, a velour tearaway sweatsuit. Playing defense.
What magazine is this?
It was a Sports Illustrated from about 25 years ago. Getting burned by shorty, unfortunate side effect of hunger. Here's another one. It's a Viagra ad.
Chapter 4: How did magazines play a role in our childhood?
Hold on, hold on, hold on. Before you just gloss over that one, I feel like we have to even also give context to And One. I don't feel like everyone knows what And One is. Okay, so Once Upon a Time. And also magazines. Okay, all right. And also, what the hell is a magazine, bruh?
Once Upon a Time. people, when they wanted to read something that was kind of current, but not too current, like a newspaper, but not too big picture, like a book, you bought something called a magazine. It had a lot of pictures. It was glossy. And it was filled with articles and ads.
Sometimes your grandpa would keep a stack of them under his bed. You weren't supposed to go under.
Different kind of magazines.
Under any circumstances. National Geographic.
I bet Greg Cody's got a big stack of magazines. I think they were about rabbits or something.
I don't know.
Some rabbit magazine my grandpa used to have. My parents do have magazines in their bathroom. Right. Is it a rack? Yes, a little rack. A little rack, man. I don't know. I haven't been in their bathroom, honestly, at this point in probably 10 years, but they did at one point.
