Getting Crap Past the Radar

I think I remember Howard the Duck reading that magazine in the movie.
It wasn't a big deal then because you could see Playboys on newstands and in 7-11s. The rabbit stickers were everywhere too.
>>78453843
this
not sure now, but back in the 90's they had playboys and shit right there on the newstand next to newsweek and time.

He meant the cig ad
>>78454422
oh
its crazy, i was watching diehard the other day and when willis gets off the plane in the beginning, he is smoking in the airport which is something you can't do now.
can't believe so many places stopped allowing that shit, 1940's men would be appalled.

>1940's men would be appalled
>hardly anyone now wears hats
>if they wear a fedora they're considered a loser
1940s men are rolling in their graves.
>>78454635
Good they were uppity pricks.
>>78452416
Wouldn't it have been a better joke to have him reading PlayBill and it be lewd pictures of ducks?
>>78454635
its because back then, it was a symbol of being a man. now its a symbol of being a faggot.
>>78454635
And the Romans would be appalled that so called civilized persons were wearing pants.
What's your point?
>>78454635
>that pick
>1940s
Nigga that's from somewhere between 1900 and 1920
>>78453636
More than that. The Howard the Duck movie featured duck tits.
>>78454859
The solution is men wearing togas with fedoras.
>>78455068
Good god anon, censor that, this is a work safe family board!
>>78455068
What was going through Lucas's mind as he was filming this
>>78454635
Why were hats so common back then? Could people not afford to wash their hair frequently so they just covered it up? Was shampoo not mass produced?
>>78455186
hats are stylish yo
keeps the sun outta your eyes too
>>78455186
They were superior people. We live in degenerate times.
>>78455152
>You what would be cool?
>Duck tits
>slap some shitty clay tits on that duck costume

is your virginity really worth that much?
>>78454635
dead center, dude without a hat.
Wearing a gray suit, next to the guy with the blue suit&tan hat.
>>78455562
In one of the windows?
>>78454635
Wearing a hat without a proper use,such as warmth, shield from sun/rain etc is similar to how kings or other rulers usually wear crowns
It puts so much more focus on the person's head, making them look bigger and stand out
It basically says "look at me, i want you to notice me easily"
>>78455087
I am okay with this
>>78454393
They still do if you go to smaller convenience stores. The major ones don't carry Playboy/Hustler at all anymore, but go to a little Habib store and you'll see them.
>>78455647
How can that be true when everyone is wearing one? When everyone's super, no one is.
>>78455452
No cares about le hat meme in the real world, I've seen both men and women wear them since I've been alive.
>>78455562
You can take m'virginity from my cold, dead, fingerless-gloved hands.
>>78455718
You can still find them soldn in the convenience stores in airports and train stations, even major ones like Grand Central.

how
>>78454874
This. Most likely from the aughts.
I hope that Anon wasn't implying that was an image from the 40's. I've been told Anons aren't that stupid.
>>78456110
Only human tits are immoral
>>78455723
They'd still feel themselves superior
As someone else said, in those times it was a sign of manliness
Probably started the way i said, then moved on to everyone slowly.
first because more and more people wanted that "look at me" stuff, but then because they didn't want to stick out
Eventually, people sort of realized the pointlessness of hats, and stopped, then came the fedoras of our time that want to disagree and revive the whole "look at me" culture

Dunno. There's the scene. Howard the Duck came out in 1986, the PG-13 rating was introduced in 1984. It was created at the suggestion of Spielberg after complaints over the violence and gore in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Gremlins. He suggested that there should be an intermediary rating between PG and R.
I guess the system hadn't really solidified yet when Howard the Duck came out. Any breasts at all would certainly have been at least PG-13 in the 90s when the ratings were stricter. The ratings had been less strict in the 80s in general.
>>78455641
no, in the street. His back is to the camera.
>>78456306
Also, on viewing the scene again it kind of looks like the naked duck lady starts masturbating when Howard flies by.
>>78456221
>a sign of manliness
But all the women are wearing them too
>>78456110
It's from the 80's. They could get away with a ton of shit back then and usually only get PG. Watch movies from that era and you can notice quite easily how dark or suddenly inappropriate they can get.
>>78454635
who gives a shit about those dumbass primitives?
>>78454635
>if they wear a fedora they're considered a loser
Maybe that's because losers wear fedoras?
>>78456569
But which comes first? The fedora, or the loserdom?
>>78455068
>duck tits
>Woo oo
>>78456141
airplane was pg with human tits
>>78454635
Guy near the red clock has no hat.
>>78457153
Thinking back to when Doug was still funny makes me sad.
>>78455403
fucking seriously
we don't have to call stuff this, I used to browse that cesspool all the time and then one day I told myself I had it and was done with all the autism. I just hope everyone else wises up someday.
>>78456410
I miss random tits&ass. You never suddenly see them out of nowhere in movies anymore in a fun way. Nowadays it's only tasteful boring bullshit in mainstream movies.
>>78455152
He was probably snorting coke with Leia
>>78454635
people used to go work with a more formal attire, hat included, now you can just put on a shirt and enjoy your day at the office.
>>78456764
well to be a fedora wearing loser, you'd have to come after the fedora was made (roughly half a century if not longer since it's been out of style) but I can't imagine there being not being a similar archetype back then, what were the losers back then wearing?
I'm putting too much thought into this
>>78457484
Doesn't have time.
Just... this show.
>>78454635

Hey OP, your picture has anthropomorphic art. Why are you breaking site rules?
>>78455068
That looks like Howard with tits. No other attempts to make it female.
>>78456110
the 80s were awesome
>>78454422
that really isn't getting shit pass the radar; the Flintstones were openly sponsored by a cigarette company, for example, and the only reason those ads were cut is because the sponsorship ended; the fact that it was later considered problematic to advertise cigarettes to kids is irrelevant
the number of smokers globally and even in most countries passing laws that restrict the places it is legal to smoke (eg public buildings like schools or government offices, workplaces, bars) isn't actually in decline; the number of cigarettes (the most common smoker's delight and therefore the best indicator of tobacco use) per capita per annum is in decline, because in most countries smokers themselves recognise that smoking (and other uses of tobacco) is bad for you, and the regulation of it enjoys broad support even among smokers (though there are noisy advocacy groups who demand a return to early last century when smokers were free to smoke wherever and whenever they wanted, and huge numbers of them - and recipients of second hand smoke as well - died of horrible diseases like lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema, and so on and so forth)
>>78455186
fashions change
at one time men and women powdered their faces bone-white (because only poor people who had to work got tans); the rise of the factory put paid to that (because there's no tanning in a factory)
likewise they stopped shaving their heads and wearing elaborate wigs once people realised you could actually just be cleaner and get rid of the lice that way instead
>>78456381
Ok, a sign of sophistication thendid you even take one second to try and come up with an explanation yourself?
>>78456569
Indiana Jones wore a fedora.
I hope you're not trying to imply something there Anon.
>>78456427
Don't you dare insult the glorious history of white people.
>>78456569
The problem is that a lot of really unpleasant people believe that the fedora will confer dignity which otherwise doesn't exist. If a man has dignity to start with, the fedora looks classy and suave, whereas if he looks like a greasy fool, the fedora will only accentuate this fact.
>>78455186
People back in the day didn't half step on daily attire
>>78455647
Which is kind of an issue when you're bald and don't want a sunburn on the dome, people just assume you're wearing a hat because you're a tool.
>>78456221
>Probably started the way i said, then moved on to everyone slowly.
Hats were incredibly common because they were convenient to shield yourself from the wheather.
It only became pointless when people started to spend their entire days inside, which is a relatively recent development, and then it took some time to become phased out of fashion.
