  This probably was a good ad because you’ll remember it after laughing at it.

  Modern workplace posters are kinda generic and boring and entirely forgettable.

  The character is real but sadly, the poster is not.

  This is definitely not a real ad from the '70s. Reddy Kilowatt was a mascot created to promote electric power in the 1920s. Different versions of this image of been circulating on the internet for several years. Funny, but not real.
