I'm fairly certain that
Don Draper is responsible for this particularly peculiar ad for toys based on
Marvel's Secret Wars:
A
Doctor Doom toy that speaks (
sings?) doggerel about his "
Doom Platoon"?? And finishes up with "
TOOOOOMB!"?!?
Of course, the toy didn't do
any of those things...although it did have a "secret decoding shield":
And while he didn't scream TOOOOOMB, Victor Von Doom
did have a "
Doom Roller":
Not to mention a
Doom Cycle:
Doom has the most badass toys!
And yet...I'm haunted by the
hardcore gangsta Doom, rapping about his Doom Platoon...
Ad appeared in Marvel Team-Up #148 (1984)
I remember these ads and I always wondered why DOOM was singing that last line. Were we to think that he introduces himself as "Doctor DOOOOOOOM"? I mean, that's not impossible, but it's not the voice I heard in my head when I read his lines.
