Another old commercial

[Double T]

Looking at the Tickle antipersperant thread reminded me of another commercial for something called the Epiped (From the same people who brought you the Epilady hair removal system). Basically, a foot massaging unit, the commercial started off with, what looked to be an Egyptian princess, and a big male servant rubbing her bare foot. The voiceover saying "Years ago, it was discovered that, massaging the foot could lead to better health.". It then cut away to a picture of a woman, with her feet in the Epiped. (Shown from the shins down. How did I know it was a woman? It's my job!) Voiceover: "The Epiped feels like dozens of fingers stimulating the pressure points.". Then the Epiped vanished, and was replaced by about six hands, palms to the screen, wriggling their fingers on the sole of the woman's foot! Now, I'm not sure about this next bit, being is a severe state of shock will do that, but I could have sworn I heard a tiny giggle! I only saw the commercial twice, and it is unfortunate that my VCR was not working at the time. I was thinking about the statement made in the other thread, what would be today's reaction to such a commercial? It seems to me someone had problems with it. I mean, I'd seen dozens of commercials for the Epilady, but only two for the Epiped? Doesn't seem right, somehow. Did anyone else see this commercial?

I like the Lever 2000 soap commercials...actual tickles involved there!

Me too, Knoxie. I was just about to mention the Lever 2000 ones, til you beat me too it. From watching them, it did look like some genuine tickles were involved.

See ya later, my friend,

While we're at it the famous "Final Touch" commercial with the lady and the kids had a follow up that had a woman tickling men's feet!

I was a freshman or sophmore in college when I saw it so it was between 1987-1989. I remember that there was no laughing but at the end she slowly runs a finger up a white sock and says "Did anyone every tell you you have beautiful feet?" And then the foot goes straight up and down and the woman giggles in surprise.

I only saw it twice...and to the best of my knowledge no one has it on tape.

Double T, I remember that ad. It was great. And yes, she did give a little giggle. (it was a voiceover giggle though)

there was an advert that was showing in the uk a few weeks ago, may still be showing. it was advertising green king ipa i think, anyway this woman was waiting for her partner to come home so they could play a little bondage game. she hears the door and calls for her man. she slips her blindfold down and inserts her wrists into the restraints. Its her dog that walks in and heads to the foot end of the bed. it then cuts to the pub to see her bloke ordering another ipa. back in the bedroom the dog starts liking her toes causing the woman to moan. funny enough when this advert came on i found myself unable to channel hop!!

tickling commercials

The most blatant tickling that I've ever seen in a commercial was for an old game called "Dungeon Dice." In that one, a guy got tickled while he was trapped in stocks. Male tickling ain't my thing, but the commercial got my attention when I was a kid.
