Retro Ad of the Week: When He’s Not Smashing Shit Up, the G-Man Pounds Waves and Snickers Bars

The moral of the story, according to this ad, my friends, is, if you don’t want Godzilla wrecking your city, give the big boy all the damn Snickers bars he wants!

  1. The other day we threw away our old fire pit, which was made of fiberglass and plaster and maybe melamine, and to get it to fit into the trash can I smashed it up into pices. I was sad to see the fire pit go but I have to admit it was fun hitting it with a great big sledgehammer. So I mean I kinda get where Godzilla’s coming from …

    • Right? There was a time I would watch Godzilla movies on a bad day at work, just watch him smash things up. My current wife looked at me funny when I said it was therapy. My former wife knew to leave well enough alone, lol.

  2. Ray, I like your style, I’ve been a Gojira fan since childhood, my dad took me to the Gappa when I was a young kid. When I saw Gojira on water skis, I thought: what would Mothraaa look like!? I’ll try to play with that idea tomorrow 😉 thanks for the fun times! and don’t forget ,dont step on Tokyooo!

    • Thank you! Obviously, you have impeccable taste! My wife has to put up with my Godzilla shenanigans and I try not to uber collect, but he’s staring at me from numerous vantages in my offices with my Egyptian realm. She groans at me constantly, but when I slap one of those kaiju movies on, she peeks at them a lot, winces, rolls her eyes up, but keeps peeking. She does like Godzilla 2014 and Minus One and I got her to go “WHOOOOOAAAAAA!!!!” when Godzilla bursts all those lasers out of him in Shin Godzilla and shreds everything in sight.

      I think Mothra would be more like a parasailer than water skier. 😛
