CDs Are What Makes the Ladies Say Unh

Here is an ’80s commercial from Philips, a maker of “electronics,” which were inventions used to record children’s birthdays (before Twitter) and watch pornography (before iPhones).  There was also another electronic, called “CDs,” that allowed you store up to 80 whole minutes of music in one place.  Ha ha – old technology wasn’t as good!  That’s not the real joke here, though.  What’s really fascinating is that this commercial pinpoints the exact moment at which a poorly-thought-out mixtape was discovered as an acceptable path to second base.  As if your Ford Thunderbird weren’t enough!  CDs are like diamond rings for her ears!  You will be doing all manner of things above her waist yet below her chin in no time flat, with the power of CDs.

Wow, boyfriend, how did you make something so unbelievably unbelievable as a CD?  Is it magic?  Or better yet, Japanese??
