Dishwasher decor... Rated PG-13

[gansky1]

I've never seen this type of decoration on a dishwasher. Perhaps I should re-think the Maytag in my kitchen, metallic blue seems rather boring now...

 

[petek]

I'm only guessing that ad was taken from a Canadian magazine like Chatelaine in their french version.

BTW for those that aren't in the know. A chatelaine is colloquial french for housewife or housekeeper.

 

[westytoploader]

Just when you think you saw it all...

I wouldn't mind having that particular machine in my kitchen though, and I could think of one other "female design" on the front as well...but seriously, I like it because it's a Hobart KitchenAid! ;-)

 

[whirlcool]

and I could think of one other "female design" on the front as well......

Well, maybe we could get THAT one for good ole' Toggleswitch.

What's that smell Toggle? Did I hear you say you had FISH for dinner tonight?

(really runnning for cover)

 

[Maytagmom]

I don't think Togs would go for the female version of th

He JUST said in chat the other night....

More than a mouthful is a waste...........

*runs for the hills*

 

[Maytagmom]

Ok, there must be something in my coffee this AM...

This is silly...

Almost reminds me of Hollywood Squares.

Yes, I will take Nip for the center block....

LMAO

Sowwy

 

[goatfarmer]

Oh My!!!!!!!That would take some getting used to.

[neptunebob]

I thought it looked like the "squares" for The Brady Bunch!

 

[jasonl]

The one in the middle

Now THAT's a dishwasher!

 

[jasonl]

Lave-vaiselle means

"Laveusse" (Lah-VUZZ) is a washing machine in French for those who don't know.

 

[whirlcool]

Hollywood Squares

We could put Toggle in the center square! I think he'd be just as good if not better as that funny guy from the 70's that used to sit there. Oh what's his name, he was also on Bewitched. The one with all the double meaning jokes.

 

[gansky1]

Alice in the Middle square..

But what, pray tell, is the picture just below the milkshake?

 

[toggleswitch]

Lave-vaiselle

wash-vessels??
I'm thinking~~ as in pot/crockery/dish washer

(sing it girls..my milkshake brings all he boys to the yard, that's right..)

CAROL....shhhhhhhhhh..
LOL chat-room conversations are not meant for this arena,
--wink--

 

[toggleswitch]

If the pic under the milkshake is not an owl or a penguin, it would seem to be quite intersting.

 

[toggleswitch]

Paul Lynde?

Thanls, I think.

Paul Aloysius Lynde

Bitchy and fabulous.

[Designgeek]

The one in the center appears to be a closeup of a human breast. Goes to show that many places in the world have a more realistic and down-to-earth attitude about simple nudity than here in the US where the prudes would have a fit.

 

[brettsomers]

let us NOT forget paul lynde and charles nelson reilly. they had BALLS!! reilly is still around and performing. toggle, have you seen his act in NYC? David

 

[jamiel]

I'm guessing that this is NOT a Canadian ad but is a European (French/Belgian) ad given the tagline in the ad which says something about "international class". Quebec has traditionally been slightly more Catholic dominated than the remainder of Canada, so I think the depiction of mammary glands would be just as scandalous there as in the US in the mid-70s.

 

[jamiel]

Also look at the phone number structure at the very bottom of the ad...not NPA/NXX/XXXX as would be correct for Quebec.

 

[Maytagmom]

Yes, Paul Lynde, RIP

Hollywood Squares was halarious, CNR was funny too...but Paul Lynde...one of a kind!
You can read more about Paul Lynde, from another site I "frequent" www.findadeath.com I am going to take his tour next time I get out to LA.
He is a scream!
There is a link somewhere in there that will take you some of the conversations that went on with the host and Paul during filming the gameshow. It is a riot! And this was the 70's!
Gawd I miss the 70's!

Togs...Sorry...*ahem*--In the future our chats will only be G-rated. Maybe a low PG-13.

It's been nice knowing ya....LOL ;-)

 

[Maytagmom]

NeptuneBob...

Brady Bunch???

Which one? Marsha, Jan, Carol Brady, or Mike Brady? LOL

Cindy was too young, so she doesn't qualify. And for the life of me right now, I can not remember the housekeepers name, but sure as I hit submit, I will remember it.

And pray tell...what is THAT under it?

 

[veg-o-matic]

[Brneyedgrl80]

Man, I hope that center dishwasher doesn't "leak"!

*quickly ducks out of conversation*

 

[foraloysius]

The housekeeper's name was Alice. I would say a French moviestar would qualify for that picture. It's probably a French ad rather than Belgian.

 

[toggleswitch]

oh Brown Eyes *STOP* you are KILLING ME!
LOL ROARING.

I can't really see the phone numbers, but IIRC France has 8 digits and no area codes.........

 

[foraloysius]

The French have 10 digits nowadays. The first two are the area code. I don't know when they changed to the ten digits.

 

[petek]

Quebecers prudes? Actually it's quite the opposite, way more tolerant than even most Europeans when it comes to all the vices. The reason being was that the Catholic church had a stranglehold on them for 300+ years but that all disappeared back in the 60's when the church began to lose its influence. I still think it's a Cdn ad and it does look familiar like I've seen it before.

 

[Unimatic1140]

That ad is just fabulous! How can you not just love that nipple dishwasher.

Exactly Pete, I've been to Montreal at least seven times and from what I remember (which isn't much after those trips) the boys in Quebec were the furthers thing from "conservative". They could teach us Americans a thing or two or twelve.

Unfortunately for us, if that ad ran in the US, the nipple dishwasher would be replaced with a machine gun dishwasher.

 

[neptunebob]

When I said it looked like the Brady Bunch squares, I meant the way the ad is set up. Toward the end of the intro, they place Alice in the center square. I think Mike would have liked being in the center.

And don't forget, Knots Landing had "squares" too in their intro. Nep
