I like the idea but unfortunately the redone illustrations just look kinda amateurish next to the originals. They don't nail the 1950s illustration style but they don't look modern either. The last two particularly seem to have some issues with basic scale and perspective. And the new poses lack the genius of the original art to draw the viewers in and focus their attention. (The Mad Men era of advertising was the first to lay out these visual principles as a science.) I want the modern illustrations to be as vibrant and interesting as the originals. Instead they're kind of boring.

Now I want to see the kind of chaos that would erupt if instead of those ads, the new ads were there back in the 50s and 60s. How would people (specifically men) react?

Nothing like working on/fixing some gadget with a hammer in one hand and a beer in the other. WTF was bud trying to say in that ad??????

Would love to see what someone could do with other blatantly sexist 1940's/50's Ads.

It would be nice to see other companies doing this, I'm sure there's hundreds of old commercials out there that are sexist af that could be restored!

Ugh! This is some bad art AND design! Regardless of content, the originals are great examples of design from that era, especially the very first one. The new images are just imitations done with the 50s look in mind but no real knowledge of composition, typography or illustration. Very amateurish and thus hurting the cause more than helping it.

A step in the right direction though their focus is on increasing the market. Can't help thinking that it took women so many years to reach this stage.

Guess it's still just for white people.

I enjoyed this one tbh. Chill, short and nice post

WOMEN BELONG IN THE KITCHEN. MEN ALSO BELONG IN THE KITCHEN. ENBIES TOO. KITCHEN HAS FOOD.

The 1958 one: "Walk beside me, not behind me."

Not sure why there's a dog in the ad, it really ought to be a cat.

I have to agree with Mewton's Third Paw. The 1950's posters maybe sexist, but that was time and I can understand that the company wants to do with gender equality, but the sad truth is that no one really cares anymore. I mean they do care, but only to an certain extent. Also, the company (or person) didn't bring out anything out interesting about it and really just makes me laugh on how terrible the new ones are. Another thing I like to comment on is there's NO reason another than attention and marketing reasons that this exist. If they REALLY cared about the issues, they would do more than draw laughable bad posters with a '''''''''''good''''''''''' intentions.

I like it, its nicely done in art and message adaptation / change.

So they're respecting women by erasing their history? No, thank you. Nobody wants to drink your ridiculous garbage beer or your idiotic rewritten history. Has anybody ever thought that the ideas of today might seem backward, cruel, stupid or mean at some point in the future? Learn from the past.

Where can one buy a replica of one of these ads?

I liek it... but they could have done without adding the instagram filters to the women's faces hahaha.... show a little wrinkle.

"Where's there's life, there's Bud" ... So if one of the Apollo astronauts left a can of Bud on the Moon ... then left. That can of Bud would cease to exist. Right?

I really like how a sense of partnership replaces this creepy image of women as ...things... whose purpose it is to serve men. (her face in the one with the crocpot really gives me the creeps)

The pizza one is pretty neat.

Because the ideal 50s housewife is supposed to be a really friendly bartender?

I was gob smacked by their new ads. I've NEVER seen such awful print advertising in my life. The illustrations are ATROCIOUS. Yes, I know they are supposed to look like 1958, but they don't. They just look like BAD illustrations. I just threw up in my mouth a bit. Instead of the illustration of the Doris Day person sitting by the D**k Van Dyke person why didn't they get smart and show a photo of modern people (using a similar photoshop treatment to the ads of 50 years ago, but with a 2019 look) - ie. both wearing old t-shirts and shorts covered with paint while they eat sushi and clink their beer cans together? I'm guessing some poor art director got voted out by the chairman of the board's wife. And when a line stank 50 or 60 years ago like "Where there's life there's Bud" why try to reuse it in present day? I KNOW they are trying to paralell the two ads only with one updated, but unless they are shown together NONE of this awful campaign works.

Those are horrible.

I can just picture some poor marketing schmuck, out of fresh ideas, haggard, exhausted, 2:00am, staring at a table of past campaign posters and ads...wait a minute...why don't we just run these old ones through a blender and repurpose them?

Sorry... I didn't find them all that offensive.

I have an issue with the second one because the man's face is all screwed up still. It made sense in the first case because it looked like he was stressing out about fixing something, but if he's just relaxing with pizza and his significant other it seems weird for him to have that expression.
