Flashback: Ball-Busting Fun For the Whole Family

GiggleSugar — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 16:00:00 -0700

This 1975 ad for the "family game" Ball Buster was totally due for a repost. "Exciting for adults"? I don't even want to know what that means.

GiggleSugar — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 08:00:00 -0700

If there were ever a decade for ultimate douchebag fashion, it would have to be the '70s in all its coiffed, mustachioed, crotch-hugging polyester glory. Presenting the best of the worst in shagadelic trends . . . and the man-beasts who loved them.

Flashback: MushMouth

GiggleSugar — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 14:02:43 -0700

Germophobes, look away! This will make the skin on your overly sanitized hands crawl. It's a little known '70s board game called MushMouth. Someone shoves their grimy fingers in a player's mouth while everyone else tries to guess what the eff the player is saying. It's like talking with your mouth full at the dinner table, but this ain't dinner. It's "fun" time. And everyone is laughing but you, cuz if you did, you just might choke and then - game over!

Milky The Marvelous Milking Cow

GiggleSugar — Tue, 17 Apr 2007 08:00:00 -0700

The kids in this commercial must've been tip-top actors, because I refuse to believe that children were ever this pumped about playing with a messy plastic cow. I'd much rather play with an Oopsie-Daisy Cow Dispenser that could at least crap real jelly beans all day long.

Hey, Hey We're The Monkees...

Only in the 70's would we have been baked enough to orchestrate this kind of madness and then expose our children to it on a regular basis. The following is one of the musical interludes between segments of the children's program, "Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp." I know zilch about the show, but I do know that I dig these groovy monkeys man. They're way far out and, like Ed Sullivan, make me go whoo! whoo! whoo! whoo!

Flashback: '70s Ice Cream Ad

GiggleSugar — Tue, 27 May 2008 14:00:00 -0700

If I didn't know better, I would've assumed this was the prequel to the 2 Girls, 1 Nasty nightmare that recently swept the net. But this is actually how they sold ice cream in the '70s. Lick happy much? Either I have a dirty mind or advertisers were downright shameless back in the day. Or both.

Flashback: '70s TV Show Predicts Future Fashion Trends

GiggleSugar — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 10:27:29 -0800

Tomorrow Today was a UK television program of the '70s that claimed to predict trends and lifestyle habits of the future. And where did the experts foresee fashion going? They had a space-age getup in mind, complete with metallic miniskirts and "specially adapted cosmetics belts" to free us ladies of our bulky purses. How novel! Thirty years later, we can thank our lucky stars that these predictions were all wrong. Really now, what girl would give up her freedom to tote a Birkin?

Flashback: The M&M's Man

GiggleSugar — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 16:00:00 -0800

Is it just me, or is it a wee-bit disturbing to watch Mr. Happy pull up in his sketch van and use candy to lure a gang of kids outta their neighborhood? He cheerfully sings the entire time, but pay attention to his lyrics. They're candy coated on the outside and choc full of creepy on the inside. The double entendres abound! Just sayin'. . .

Flashback: The 70's Douchebag

What? You think this is a new phenomenon? Hell to the no! Our beloved douchebag has been around for years. Just check with the male douchebag expert. They were just as easy to spot back then as they are now...

GiggleSugar Reader Spotlight

GiggleSugar — Fri, 25 May 2007 15:00:00 -0700

Audreystar has been a GiggleSugar fan for as long as we've been around. In addition to being funny and loyal, this woman has an arsenal of emoticons! (Check it out below.) And be sure to check out the gallery at the end of the interview.

GS: What’s your motto?
AS: Probably...."That's what she said" from "The Office" or "Bow chica wow wow" from 70's porn movies. No reason other than it is funny to call my friends voice mail and sing 70's porn to them.

GS: Where are you from?
AS: Kentuckiana. I am a little bit Coal Miner's Daughter and quite a bit Hoosier Daddy?

GS: What do you do?
AS: Do you get mail? I train employees on how to get YOU your mail. It doesn't always take, I am afraid.

GS: How would you describe your sense of humor?
AS: A little bit banter, quite a bit of sarcasm, 1/4 Freudian slip, a peppering of 12-year old boy potty humor and a dash of blunder.

GS: What’s your favorite GiggleSugar post?
AS: Product of the Day - E-Coli Plush Toy.
You can't go wrong with joking about stuffed terry cloth e-coli. The tapeworm is my personal favorite. I heard you lose weight when you have a tapeworm? hmmm....

GS: Who’s the cutest (best looking) funny man and funny woman?
AS: Andy Samberg from "SNL" is my current funnyman crush. He isn't "traditionally" good looking but he gives his girlfriends presents in a box and what girl doesn't like gifts? What was the second part of the question?

GS: Who are your favorite male and female comedians?
AS: I would say Garry Shandling and Ellen DeGeneres. They make me laugh every time I watch them.

GS: What’s your favorite comedy of all time? (Movie)
AS: It's a tie between The Hot Chick (GS: You're a brave woman to admit that, AS! )and Best in Show. Two different type comedies but they both make me laugh uncontrollably.

GS: If your life were a comedy, what would it be?
AS: Is While You Were Sleeping considered a comedy?

GS: Do you look like someone famous?
AS: I have been told I look like Sarah Chalke from "Scrubs" and Jessica Biel. But my all time favorite is Chelsea Clinton. That one made me blush with pride. I almost never came down from that cloud. (GS: Awww. I like Chelsea!)

Audreystar Free For All: "ROY RULEZ!" and "Enjoy this spotlight, I hope you all do."

GS: Thanks, Audreystar!
