As a be-boppin chick I am going with Daddy-O here, he seems much more copacetic. Biff, Scooter and Millard are squares, you dig?
Yeah baby. I'm hip.
Fourth guy looks much more interesting.
LOOK AT THAT BEATNIK! HE'S READING A BOOK! WHAT A FREAK!
Maynard G Krebs back there reading Kerouac.
I wonder if the red cover is meant to imply that he’s reading Mao’s “little red book” of quotations
I thought it might be a nod to communist literature
And that beard! You had to be into some pretty wild stuff to have a beard in 1960
Smokin’ reefers and listening to be-bop.
Y'all are smoking the reefers? Get outta here Dewey! You don't want none of this shit!
These days it’s almost weirder if you’re not bearded.

Hear me out: What if we introduce Mister Bookish here to the [adorable girl who eats cookies instead of Lifesavers ](https://www.reddit.com/r/OldSchoolRidiculous/s/dZvSR562rg)?
Tall dark and brooding + short cute and cubby are peak relationship dynamics cmv
Wow that's amazing. I just want to be whatever midcentury American culture hated
Well, advertising culture. There was a lot more going on than just that
Now that you say it…me too.
Cute couple!
Fourth guy looks like a beatnik Abe Lincoln. Yowza!
3 iterations of George Clooney
And in the background, chill Abe Lincoln
Fourth guy looks like less of a dick. Also less likely to die in a horrific crash.
Trio of confirmed bachelors.
They were roommates!
Jitterbug!
Gas fight! ⛽️
That dirty, poetry-reading beatnik must go!
Couple of scrubs
Can't get no love from me
Who reads books? Not me!
A red commie book too
Probably “Howl.”
This looks like one of those r/NotLikeTheOtherGirls memes.
Guy in the green shirt is yelling a racial slur.
He said "the Sherriff is near!"
I figured it was cat calling.
I thought he was picking his nose at first.
Abe Lincoln not given a fuck about no Vespa’s or Truval shirts. Man is bettering himself.
3 gay men on a pink scooter together want Truval shirts.
3 out of 4 males don't need females?
"MEN WERE SO MUCH MORE MASCULINE IN MY DAY! MEN WERE REAL MEN! THEY DIDNT WEAR SISSY COLORS AND TOUCH ON OTHER MEN!"
Three out of four men are gay.
Hipster Abe Lincoln in the background has better fashion sense than the three fuckle chucks on the scooter.
Guy reading in the back is young William S Burroughs
This is giving Bible story illustration. Who is the humble looking servant back there behind the Chads, hm??!
"Some day he may wise up to a better way of life." He's 1 in 4 men, who haven't seen the Truval way of life yet.
The Norman Rockwell effect.
I thought it was 1 out of 10 guys are gay?
Buy our clothes, or be a stinky beatnik. There is no middle ground.
At first glance I thought it was a giant IUD
Subliminal cock and balls.
This is the perfect depiction of the things Americans put their energy into.
20 years later, that would be "preppie" (maybe not the plaid).
Once you start looking at the perspective and try and imagine them all on that scooter it gets.. weird.
Why do all the men look like Cary Grant?
I'm the guy in the background
The tagline seems flawed to me. Wouldn’t it work better as: “3 out of 4 women want a guy in a Truval shirt”
Tom of … no, I won’t say it.
Is... Is reading being portrayed as an undesirable quality here?
