Here’s another installment of advertisements from The Onion, this time from May 25, 2005.
RIP to Elves Palace and Affordable Futons. Plus, the “ADULT PACIFIER” tagline for Jimmy Johns.
The Onion on a PDA! What a weird era of mobile technology that was directionally correct but very short-lived.
Noir-ish cigarette ad!
The Onion seeking an advertising and business intern for summer 2005 (another ad seeks a sales manager for the Madison, Wis., office).
The underrated Daniel Craig vehicle “Layer Cake” and a Jet Li-Morgan Freeman collab I’ve never heard of.
The perfect ad to accompany “Savage Love,” I guess.
