This is just definitely a very normal ad for clothes. “What? You don’t wear clothes?” That’s what the guy who made this says. “Then what do you put on your moustache when traveling through the mirror to the parallel dimension of pure light and sound?” He has a point, you guys. (Via Robert Popper.)

  2. Acid’s a hell of a drug.

  3. Yellowjacket Greenapple, Existential Private Eye!

  4. Wait… I feel like I’ve seen that door somewhere before…


    AHHH!!!

  5. Little does he know this trip ends in a dark, mysterious, terrible place.

    Mertyle Beach, South Carolina.

    And the Twilight Zone.

  6. I’m pretty sure my dad was wearing crimplene in my parents’ wedding photos.

  7. “The reason I will not exhibit this picture is that I am afraid that I have shown in it the secret of my own soul.”

    Truly the Dorian Gray of the modern era.


  8. What’s the hardest part about being you?
    Moustache

  9. I feel like I just ate a can of Friskies.

  10. Those companies at the end are probably subsidiaries of the Dharma Initiative.

  11. Is this just a clip from Zardoz? I bet this is just a clip from Zardoz.

  12. “MUM. Remember, when you iron my cords to line them with Mescaline, fuck!!”

  13. Gabe, you’re a 78 year old man, were the 70′s really like this? I’d ask my dad but he was a hippy and he says he’ll tell me about it when I’m older. :(
    [True story]

    • Gabe lived in Zanzibar in the 70′s. Everyone knows that, young’un.

    • Oh Napoleon, when you are older and they do tell you, your worldview will never be the same. Like how at 16 you thought that your mom really was a “square” who just dressed like a hippie and that your dad just “smoked grass” from time to time, and then you’re 27 and hearing stories from 1974 that involve a gun in one of your 20-year-old father’s boots and Mexican cocaine in the other, and your mother’s tequila-sunrise-acid parties.

      • Another true story! I went to visit some extended family in Ohio last summer, and I found out that my grandma was just kickass. She was a beatnik and had beatnik parties and her best friend gave her acid for her birthday. A beatnik begat a hippy who begat a punk. Circle of life.

  14. This guy is my hero

  15. “The new way to dress is trousers that move with you.” I bet dudes in that dimension got really sick of dressing in trousers that moved without them.

  16. This is definitely the first time I’ve suspected a fiber company of wanting to murder me.

    • This is obviously the inspiration for that Scary Story about the fibers that come alive and do murder people. That one made it really difficult for nine-year-old me to wear clothes for a while.

  17. Obviously this is the early work of Dario Argento. This is basically a screen test for Suspiria.

    • You are just tearing it up with the film references today. You have a bright future ahead of you in my Lolk Investment Firm.(That’s how business works right?)

    • my joke was gonna be “why’d lee hazlewood have goblin score this video for him?” but you sorta beat me to the punch with the argento ref.

      • I think I like your joke better! Also, I couldn’t remember who actually wrote the music for Suspiria off the top of my head. I am so going to download a goblin torrent and turn off the lights in my office and feel creepy for the rest of the day.

  18. That guy looks just like my dad did in the early 70′s.
    Come to think of it, my dad was also always walking out dramatically from behind walls and beckoning with his eyes.

    • He looks just like my dad too, except I think my dad eschewed silk cravats. He kept that mustache until like 1998, though. Do you have pictures of your dad in well-fitted pullover sweaters with long-collared plaid shirts and wide bellbottoms? They always freak me out because my dad is such a dorky dresser now, but apparently at one point in his life… uh, dressing like a dork was cool?

      • I posted a link to this video on Facebook, with a comment to the effect of it starring my dad. To which my uncle commented “Several of my friends in high school thought he was haaaaawt.” Thanks, Uncle Paul!

  19. My favorite thing is the discordant music behind the whole thing. “You know what would really snazz up this commercial from drab to fab? Some atonal whisper sings, ya.”

  20. Dude, I saw this episode already. Spock ends up having to phaser the creature in order to save Kirk from his mirror prison.

  22. This did not faze me. I have already seen Zager and Evan’s video for In the Year 2525.

  23. “He had a voice that could make a wolverine purr and suits so fine they made Sinatra look like a hobo. In other words, Ron Burgundy was the balls.”

  24. Hey, wasn’t this guy in The Moody Blues? Or Procol Harum? Or The Grass Roots?

  25. THis must be the true precursor to gotmilk’s “White Gold” series of commercials.
