It's no surprise that retro fashion ads usually look outdated, but these recently discovered men's fashion advertisements are downright ridiculous. If you're in the mood for some throwbacks — and a good laugh — check out these hilarious ads from the '70s in this post originally featured on Flashbak [1].

Men's fashion is the gift that keeps on giving. Until armor becomes ubiquitous, men will continue to struggle.

As the great Yeoman [2] says on these pages, "Before launching into the typical 'Oh, aren't those Seventies fashions so terrible' spiel, let's get one thing out of the way: '70s fashions [3] are an easy target because they took chances." And drugs. In a man-sized onesie [4]. And, like wife-swappers in a Hollywood whirlpool, these men moved on quickly. Had these style seekers not grasped adventure by the balls and squeezed it into Mick Jagger's bucket 'n' spade [5] we'd all still be wearing denim leisure suits [6]. And that can't help anyone.
