Classic Ad: You & Your Johnson
07.19.10There’s nothing wrong with calling your business Johnson Outboard Motors, but perhaps having a jingle about “You and your Johnson” isn’t the smartest advertising plan. Especially when the lyrics include having fun with “you, your kids, and your Johnson.” But then, this commercial is from the 1970s. It was a much more forgiving era regarding sex with children. Just ask Roman Polanski.
“NEXT STOP: INTERNATIONAL WATERS!”

Seems real to me…the “you and your Johnson” graphic at the end def has that 70s/80s feel, and b/c Johnson Motors was established in 1922, that “a way of life for over 50 years” tagline would make sense for a commercial of that era.
I know it doesn’t take much atual journalism skills to write for a blog..especially a blog that has a dozen readers, but you DO realize this is fake, right?
LMAO.. this song never gets old :D
Is this Cedric Benson’s boat only without visable bags of Sun Chips?
Wife: What do you want for your birthday, hun?
Husband: You know, I’d love if you gave me a Johnson motorboat
Wife: *slap*
I’ll never get tired of that meme.
ahahahah
Love the photoshop.
First of all, and let me state this clearly, great caption on the Photoshop.
I will say that the mere sight of Polanski with a bullhorn sends me into a giggle fit these days. Thanks Uproxx!
