Antonio Pirrello’s gasoline-powered roller skates. Made by Antonio Pirrello in 1956, these skates feature a 19-pound gasoline motor that is worn like a backpack. The gas connects to the right skate to push while the skater holds his left foot out in front to steer. A second cable connects to the hand-held clutch to regulate speed: quite a lot of speed. These skates can roll at up to 40 miles-per-hour! Mr. Pirrello and his motorized skates were featured in the magazines Life and Popular Mechanics and were guests on You Asked for It and The Today Show.
this is the funniest ad i’ve ever seen on here i am cackling
This is one of the most misaimed ads you could possibly run on tumblr on multiple levels
i got another one, only this one is kind of viscerally terrifying
someone somewhere had to pitch “Peter Griffin with a mouthful of photorealistic flesh” as an advertisement for a product and someone else had to official approve that idea for us to get here
theres a third one and the caption is just viscerally upsetting
ok but the peak of all comedy will always be that video of the broken singing trout that makes unholy noises but always goes right back to normal for the cheery chorus
