The decade of the 1980s was one dandy of time to be alive.
A movie star was President of the United States.
Magic Johnson and Larry Bird were in their prime.
Michael Jackson still looked like an actual human being.
Cheers was being filmed in front of a live studio audience.
Oh, and Chuck Norris — martial arts superstar and former United States airman — was selling jeans you could kick someone’s ass in. Hell, that’s what they were made for! Just check out the order form/ad for the pants below:
He didn’t just slap his mug on the product either. He “developed” them. For “stunt fighting in action movies”.
This blast from the good ol’ past was recently posted on Reddit, and to be honest, the comments attached to it might even be better than beating the piss out of someone while wearing jeans.
Here are a few:
Finally I can show my friends my chop-kick at school without taking my pants off.
Fine … make fun of it. You’ll be missing those extra rivets when you do your high kicks.
My boyfriend has a pair of these still. I really, really, really wish I was kidding.
19.95 for jeans. I’ll take 100.
I have the sudden urge to get these pants and crescent moon kick a table.
I had to wear jeans for my costume in a production of A Chorus Line and it was pretty terrible. Jeans are not made for movement.
Unique hidden gusset.
Chuck Norris once killed two stones with one bird.
$20 for jeans was like gouging your eyes out back then.
Keep your hands up, Chuck.
Plenty of action going on in those jeans!
“Four years in the Air Force is better than any college education.” Chuck Norris
Gusset? Is that you, Jeff?
He had a stunt double do his roundhouse kicks.
Someone print it out and order some.
