Sports Special

9 Aug

This sweet animation was made  to illustrate the remarkable achievement of a no-hitter in a major league game game of Dock Ellis, a player for the Pittsburgh Pirates, while he was on acid back in 1970.

The David Lynch Micra commercial

25 May

This commercial gives me the creeps, there is something distinctly eerie about it (Well, it was directed by David Lynch, so what can you expect?) but it is also quite inspirational and psychedelic in its own unique way. Do you speak Micra?

The psychedelic cat food commercial

19 May

This commercial is about psychedelic cat food that has hallucinogenic effects on your cat. A commercial that makes you go, Miao!!!

This Israeli commercial for yogurt really blew my head off, maybe because I was in the right state of consciousness when I first saw it.
Highly commercialized, highly silly and definitely highly psychedelic. Of course, don’t miss the Amanita Muscaria mushroom shaped house which the kid drives by on his lovely yogurt train.

7UP psychedelic commercial

9 May

Back in the days when drinking a soda was psychedelic.

McDonalds psychedelic commercial

30 Apr

Psychedelic motives and melodious hamburgers in this McDonalds commercial form the late 1960’s. A prime example for the adaptation of psychedelic aesthetics and themes in late sixties mainstream culture. Psychedelics gone carnivorous and highly commercialized.
