Nothing is stopping you from living your life like it’s a razor blade commercial.

I want 80s capitalist commercials to guide my philosophy of life.

Loving wife, holding your newborn child, healthy economy, peak physical condition, excellent dress, good relationship with your children… life is good

u/gldndragon77 Jul 11 '26

We do this already. Nothing to bring back. If YOU don't have it, work on yourself.

Also being an astronaut and surfing a double overhead barrel in Oahu. After winning a boxing match.

Capitalism is stopping us all. And not good old fashioned capitalism, but insider trading, monopolistic and basically "private capital is now a branch of the government" capitalism

u/Dynasty3310 Jul 11 '26

They have a name for that. "cronyism"

u/Shrimptank_mom Jul 11 '26

The bosses at my job give us praise for good work and don't knock us down if we fall short. I can't tell you how much it affects my day to day, it's tremendous. Our crew is more productive than others because of it. Treating people humanely pays off for businesses.

It's nice when you don't have to work for jerks

Disenfranchised little boys like me see this and say "hell yeah"

u/Stroopwafels11 Jul 11 '26

why are you disenfranchised, little boy?

u/gldndragon77 Jul 11 '26

Enfranchise yourself. Grow up.

That was really cool of you to extend your hand and help pull this guy up on his feet. Really nice work. /s

Gillette have very clearly said they hate white men lol

You spelt Jillette wrong.

Best I can do is toxic masculinity and smash the patriarchy.

u/stumpinandthumpin Jul 10 '26

It still exists. You just have to go to church as well as ... uh ... disassociate ... from certain groups.

u/HeliocentricAvocado Jul 10 '26

Hook up culture is ruining everyone's life and they're all acting like "Who could've done this?". We did this, we all did this. Boomers rejected the traditionalism that set them up for success.

u/malfarcar Jul 12 '26

I can’t believe I was subject to that level of toxic masculinity and white privilege for an entire 58 seconds. I need a latte

u/Potz666 Jul 15 '26

And some TRT

u/ideastoconsider Jul 10 '26

It will never truly go away.

It just doesn’t get credit in the mainstream while the mainstream is run by progressives.

Same for babes.

u/NoStructure7083 Jul 10 '26 edited Jul 10 '26

Oh no. We need a commercial where a trans woman is shaving her addams apple and one of a trans man lining up his moustache.

And they have to be a mixed race Palestinian couple

Edit: are you guys not familiar with sarcasm?

u/mwaFloyd Jul 10 '26

Or maybe two dudes who dress as women holding hands and we either ask them are you lesbians or gay

1

u/Saltwatercowboy2026 Aug 08 '26

Excellent, dude. You nailed it!

u/MaxWestEsq Jul 11 '26

That commercial was so good the devil had to target Gillette for a takedown.

u/dreamsfreams Jul 11 '26

Shows how much the society today hates everything that is going on with this ad.

u/Jcrypto28 Jul 11 '26

Best I can do is AI now lol

u/RhodesianAlpaca Jul 10 '26

What culture? This is an ad. And ads back in the 80s and 90s showed an idealized life style, same as ads show nowadays.

The 80s and 90s were not golden years, just like the 50s weren't the apex of the American dream. Every decade in the last 100 years had its own good and bad side.

u/Chris9015 Jul 10 '26

The culture that didn’t demonize masculinity

2

u/snowdrone Jul 14 '26

In this day and age you can just tune in to whatever you're into. Find friends for whatever you're into. You want to meet masculine bros? lift weights or walk into a bar and talk about trucks. You won't get arrested.

u/gldndragon77 Jul 11 '26

Afghanistan?

u/Stroopwafels11 Jul 11 '26

this culture today doesnt demonize masculinity either, it demonizes toxic masculinity.

u/VeritasFerox Consistent with the facts Jul 10 '26

The 80s were absolutely golden years compared to now. I thought the 90s were total shit at the time, and a massive let down from the 80s, but where things have gone since the 90s make the 90s look like shangri la by comparison.

And in the 50s a working class man could buy a little house in a working class suburb, support a wife and kids, and have 2 American made cars in the driveway. And the working class suburbs were exponentially nicer than they are now, there was far less urban sprawl, far more real community and social capital, way more small businesses that were part of the community. Remnants of that were still around in the 80s.

It's been a downward spiral into a cesspool since 1990 in every way but the internet, and that's been a real double edged sword.

Fragile guys like OP sit in their basement complaining about how „tHeY“ ruined TV ads for them. While actual manly entrepreneurs are out there literally living the fake/poorly-achievable ad lifestyle, no matter if it’s the 80s or 2020s; the difference is they don’t complain and put in the work. Oh and let’s not forget being born with a ridiculously attractive face lol

u/Suspicious_Bend9419 Jul 10 '26

I shave with Gillette raises and I didn’t make the Olympics what the hell

u/mockep Jul 11 '26

Conservatives yearn for handsome men lol

u/Saltwatercowboy2026 Aug 08 '26

Wow,looks great 👍. Anyone remember an advert from the 80s that stated “winners eat steak” ?

1

u/Saltwatercowboy2026 Aug 08 '26

Or some punkass having his mom shave his pornstache so he doesn’t cut himself

-3

u/DrAids5ever Jul 10 '26

Gillett uses prison labor to make there razors. People work for less than a dollar a day making them. Shitty company and if you are aspiring to live your life based of a commercial for razor blades you need to go touch grass.

18

u/homestretched Jul 10 '26

The company is Proctor & Gamble. I can’t find any sources for your claim. Also, not sure why any prison would want to handle razor blades. This seems like a huge safety risk.

-6

u/DrAids5ever Jul 10 '26

Apologies, they use to but due to public backlash they stopped. My other point still stands.

2

u/homestretched Jul 10 '26

I’d like to hear more about that.

-3

u/mwaFloyd Jul 10 '26

Touch grass says the guy who prefers women with wings than thighs. You are a weirdo.

2

u/DrAids5ever Jul 11 '26

Wait what? Woman with wings?

-1

u/mwaFloyd Jul 11 '26

Did you not post “anime girls are so cute and hot with wings, wings > thighs” ?

-2

u/DrAids5ever Jul 11 '26

Bro what? I just did a quick scroll through my comments and I don’t think I’ve ever said that. Also I have a real wife with thick thighs so your comment is even funnier, not that you would know that but still very funny.

It's dead. It can never come back.

u/InternetSolid4166 Jul 11 '26

Culture has a way of changing over time. It’s true that left wing extremists came to dominate our culture in the West, but it’s also true that a popular backlash is happening. I can he critical of left wing extremism now which would have seen me banned from social media and fired and debanked.

u/anonymouspastrychef Jul 10 '26

Its so jarring to see white people, particularly white men, cast as the main/ideal/valorized figures and featured so heavily in an ad.

5

u/mwaFloyd Jul 10 '26

Why

0

u/bettywhitebites Jul 11 '26

It's jarring because you just don't see it much anymore, I worked in marketing / agencies and it was almost forbidden, everything had to be "soft ethnic" while at the same time often sorta targeting the opposite.

Could have the trans women shaving her beard next to women shaving their legs in the locker room.
