Check out this Newport cigarette ad from the 60s:

Starts off with guy who looks amazingly like me, watching TV, when a Newport ad set at an Hawaiian luau comes on ... the grinning dancers beckon ... guy climbs in TV and in a fantasy that is amazingly like mine, is feted as the guest of honor at said luau, drinking drinks, checking out babes, and smoking a Newport.

Ads in the 60s really did try harder.
