Joe Namath and Pantyhose

[towringer]

I've finally gotten to see this commercial now. I'd heard references to Joe Namath & pantyhose in the TV shows of the mid-70's, like Good Times & The Odd Couple and didn't know what they were talking about.

[dirkshrubb]

hes dumb as a post that man. good soul and great qb.

[phaymes2701]

@Crazy4Cartwrights

This was done by Long, Haymes and Carr, a Winston-Salem,NC agency in 1974.

[spy4863]

I love this ad! Joe Namath was a doll! And he looked GREAT in those pantyhose! (Yes, he WAS wearing Beauty Mist pantyhose for the shoot! He said so himself!)

[jrmetmoi]

His feet were actually pretty for someone running around chasing a ball all day!

[jrmetmoi]

Glam Rock was big in the UK in the 70s around the time of this ad with Queen, David Bowie, and Elton John dressing up and making it big in the US not long after and even Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, New York Dolls, Alice Cooper and Kiss were glam-my in the US, so if there was ever an era for a straight guy to experiment with a pantyhose commercial, this would have been it.

[wallofvideo]

namath wore pantyhose on a commercial, but only after ali referred to himself as "pretty," which in turn only happened after gorgeous george went prancing into the ring with his coiffured golden locks.

[needles1987]

2 straight men almost jacked off to this commercial.

[PowerRangers12345]

joe namath was the peyton manning of the 1960's and 70's.

[karen2006p]

Joe Namath don't wear pantyhose? yeah right!! Sure looked like women's legs to me!.

[phaymes2701]

@karen2006p

Those were Namath's legs. He was wearing the hose.

[evvv1010]

OMG! I love his legs!

[mrdestiny2011]

I wonder how much money he got for this commercial ?

[yaxmicha]

2 humans weren't fooled or amused by Broadway Joe's ruse.

[yaxmicha]

2 people weren't fooled or ammused by Broadway Joe's ruse.

[socialismosiempre]

TMQ!!!

[bigfatdick5000]

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAH

[Scentless]

"Especially your luhegs."

*OH MY GOD, HOT CHICK, HURRY UP AND KISS ME SO THEY DON'T THINK I'M GAY, HURRY HURRYYYYY*

[dartmouthhoop]

When did this ad originally run? 1970?

[Lesrevesdhiver]

@dartmouthhoop the Joe namath pantyhose commercial supposedly ran in 1974.

[TeamEdward1976]

LOL!this is hilarious!

[boogerbastard]

Who got to keep the pantyhose after Joe took 'em off?

[FDR1945]

This was creepy... but effective.

[nycdweller]

Joe Willie = so good looking!!!!

[ringo244]

Yes Namath was something else

[scotfreak]

first he gets his face creamed, now hes wearing panty hose???? oh god!

[WiccansEatShit]

@scotfreak just like your big sister and your grandmother.

[scotfreak]

@WiccansEatShit but i dont have any siblings...

[WiccansEatShit]

@scotfreak your Nigger butted half sister living in a crackhouse in Detroit city.

[scotfreak]

@WiccansEatShit ohhh THAT one. oh yeah she did all that

[WiccansEatShit]

@scotfreak she did that and than some.Even Larry Flynt blushed when he saw the neud photographs of her.

[serviceisntfreea]

yuck

[DA8653]

Okaaaaay...this was kinda disturbing.

[CitizenCandyland]

Gotta hand it to Namath, it takes a certain amount of charisma, confidence and swagger to get away with wearing pantyhose and not giving a single shit about what people thought about it.

[baffinjigger]

@CitizenCandyland No doubt

[procrastination100]

Whaaaat theeee fuuuuck....I don't know whether I should laugh or throw up

[Maj0ra]

this is so fuuuuuucking creepy.

[Globalmarketingpros]

Sometimes fishnet pantyhose are very eroticly sexy as well, but as with most fishnets you can catch somethings with a net that you don't want to keep. That's why I am promoting the fishnet stockings specifcly for trans-sexuals. They hug the leg and make the rest of the fit below the waist much more comfortable to the touch. The only way to experience my fishnet style is to try it, I'm sure any trans-sexual or trans-gender will experience the same comfortable feel.

[Cassie86R]

he is so sexy

[road35]

Namath's a freakin clown, i love that guy

[ErnieandBert1]

I read on her official website bio that voice actress and "Muppeteer" Fran Brill is doing the announcer for this commercial.

[thegirl44]

Yes, that's the lovely and talented Miss Fran Brill.

Her speaking voice is unmistakable.

[bigandtallreturn]

Kinda funny to watch this and then watch, say, "My Name is Zoe" from Sesame Street. I for one didn't know Fran did the voiceover for this until I read it in the great book "Street Gang."

[thegirl44]

@bigandtallreturn

Wasn't "Street Gang" a fantastic read? Having been raised in transit as a kid I saw the many versions of Sesame Street offered in many geographical areas and it was wonderful to read about the humble beginnings of such a fantastic show.

[PsychoticGeek23]

O_O

...halp.

[ironshell90]

haha another crossdressing republican lol now we just need peyton to do a bra commercial lol

[Gwitfu90]

DAMN IT, BROADWAY JOE! Up until the hairy arms came in, the commercial was sexy.

[Mouserzz]

AHAHAHHAA

[KevinTheReaper]

AWW GOOD GAWD!!! GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY!!! You'd never see Fran Tarkenton sinking so low as to do a pantyhose commercial.

[thesethingz]

Broadway Joe had one great set o' gams. lol

[RichoRosai]

oooh fapfapfapfapfapfpafpafpapfapf

[MelC54]

"Now I don't wear pantyhose, but I sure did try to get into Suzy Kolber's" (LOL)

[jello2]

Too bad he had to wear the shorts !!!!!!!!!

[DJFredRH]

Joe Namath was a great quarterback. Any one who say's he's not either never saw him play, or no's nothing about football.

[ferret124]

When i see any of the commercials he made i think what an asshole no reason why he should be further mentioned in footballs legacy

[shagythommy]

you obivously dont know that hes the only quarterback to start and lead a team to a college national championship and a super bowl win

[MelC54]

Joe wasn't a good quarterback, let alone a great one...he was mediocre at best. Those statistics are all correct, and he also threw 22 interceptions that were returned for touchdowns, the most ever in football history. Joe was and still is a drunk. Super Bowl III was a product of the running game, solid defense and Weeb Ewbank's game plan. He made Namath play "not to lose". Namath's "I guarantee it" plays second now to his "I want to kiss you" quote. What a drunken jackass.

[ItsMeForAllYouKnow]

You know nothing about Super Bowl III. I have the entire game on tape. You should watch it sometime instead of just watching highlights. There was good rushing to be sure, but the passing game was great, too. Joe didn't throw any T.D's, but he threw for almost 300 yards. The Colts blitzed for the vast majority of the game, but Joe wasn't fazed at all, and simply dumped the ball off into the secondary in the spot where the blitz came from. It was brilliant. It was a balanced atack, not one sided.

[ItsMeForAllYouKnow]

Most important of all, Joe controlled almost the ENTIRE game, during the game. What I mean is, Weeb came up with the general game plan of what they wanted to do, of course, BUT, other than the very first play of the game, in which they performed a shift on the line in order to fool the Colts into thinking they had installed all kinds of weird new plays (which they had not), Joe called EVERY SINGLE PLAY of Super Bowl III. Every last one. How can you allude that Joe didn't influence the outcome?

[ItsMeForAllYouKnow]

And yes.....that includes calling rushing plays when they needed to be called. He could have been an egotistical ass and called a lot more passing plays, but he did not do that. He was smart instead of being cocky the way he was BEFORE the game, and guess what.....they won.

[ecsdiablo]

nice!

[arringtony]

I got herpes because of this video. DAMN 70'S

[needles1987]

I wonder how many men questioned their sexuality after seeing this commercial.

[600ftHR]

why you wondering are you gay?

[needles1987]

No. I'm straight. But he does have nice legs.

[600ftHR]

true

[metman6986]

dude its because of that ONE win in ONE game that the nfl is what it is today. joe namath and the jets made the nfl.

[dirtyniggeronpcp]

No, I'm pretty sure Pete Rozelle had more to do with "making" the NFL.

[sapyles]

Now I wasn't born during this time frame but I can only imagine that Joe Namath was the only man who could of pulled this off and not be considered gay. This goes to show that Broadway Joe is the man.

[FAITHandLOGIC]

Namath has NO BUSINESS in the Hall of Fame. Look at these career stats:

173 TD - 220 INT

65.5 career rating (never topped 74.3)

Completed only 50.1% of career passes.

Only 3 winning seasons in a 13 year career.

Only 2 playoff appearances.

So I guess as long as you guarantee ONE win in ONE game and don't even throw a TD in that game, you should get into the Hall?

The Hall of Fame should be embarrassed that they let this man in.

[600ftHR]

chill out dude Joe Namath is beast

[dmg986]

Namath's Jets were thought to play in a far inferior league, and the Colts were being called the Greatest Team Ever (tm). They were 18-point underdogs. They were the 2007 Giants of their time and then some.

That one game changed the history of football.

[stephen51194]

yea 220 int, but this was when the NFL was still developing and rules were changing.

and its because of broadway joe that its illegal to hit the knees of the quarterback.

[ItsMeForAllYouKnow]

That's not why he's in Canton. Stats, that is. I mean, he has some cool stats. He was a great deep passer. He still holds the record for most yards (over 400), from the fewest attempts and completions (like 12 of 15 or something). But that is beside the point. What I was going to say is, I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but you can get into the Hall of Fame on things other than stats. There are coaches and equipment designers in the Hall. There are even sports writers in the Hall.

[ItsMeForAllYouKnow]

The reason he is in is 1. He was a great field general when it came to calling plays that controled the pace of the game. It's not his fault there was lesser talent surrounding him. There are alot of other players responsible for those losing seasons. 2. He was great at controlling the blitz. Great field vision and a lightning quick release allowed him to get rid of the ball. 3. Most importantly, HE MADE THE SUPER BOWL WHAT IT IS.

[ItsMeForAllYouKnow]

It was going to be canned, and they were going to return to having an NFL Championship game where the 2 best NFL teams played for the title. The 2 first Super Bowls had 10's of thousands of empty seats and almost no competition for advertising slots. It was not a huge show of glam ,glitter and entertainment. Then Joe shot his mouth off and it was standing room only. Companies fought for air time. Massive amounts of money changed hands. It became a huge show. The ultimate reality show.

[ItsMeForAllYouKnow]

And then he had a huge part in winning the game and sealing the deal. As you said, he didn't throw a TD, but so what? He threw for almost 300 yards. Then there was the great running game which balanced the attack. They chewed up massive amounts of time. And oh yeah, other than the first play of the game, Weeb let Joe call EVERY SINGLE PLAY of Super Bowl three. The Colts blitzed constantly, too.....but they couldn't stop him. He was too quick.

[ItsMeForAllYouKnow]

Kinda makes him partly responsible for all their points, even though he didn't throw a TD, doesn't it. Since he called every play that is.

He made the guarantee

He caused the hype.

He called the plays.

They won.

The reason you'll be sitting on your ass on Super Bowl Sunday drinking beer, eating pretzels and watching the game is because Joe did what he did.

[ItsMeForAllYouKnow]

If that's not worthy of a spot in the Hall Of Fame, nothing is. Fuck stats. Being part of the event that changed the course

of football history is way more cool.

[ALANSHEARERISGOD]

Shut the fuck up. Who cares?

[ItsMeForAllYouKnow]

Perhaps the people who keep reading comments about how Joe shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame because he doesn't have the stats (which he doesn't), and are wondering why he is. Some people enjoy learning, although I'm sure someone that begins their comments with "shut the fuck up" probably wouldn't understand that.

[ALANSHEARERISGOD]

*yawns*

Shut the fuck up.

[link0zelda123]

haha fail

[thunderstruck665]

I can't beleive how controversial this commercial was when it came out. People made such a big deals out of the smallest things. This had to be one of the most clever commercials ever produced.

[HyuugaNejiFullFights]

LOL

[theblindsniper]

lol This commercial is hillarious....

[shaspassren]
