Juxtaposition

[livejournal.com profile] gmjambear and I were watching the AFI's 100 Years, 100 Movie Quotes on CBS tonight. Gary mentioned having seen Marathon Man and the torture scene, which they included for its famous quote, "Is it safe?" We speculated that a lot of dentists lost business over that scene as they went to station break.

So what commercial did they run immediately afterward? Colgate Total toothpaste, with recommendations from dentists and all.

Ouch. Side-splittingly funny, but ouch nonetheless.
