(Follow) us @past.insight In 1971, toy company Remco released the Baby Laugh-A-Lot doll advertised with a real baby laughing nonstop alongside the doll. At the time, it was meant to feel joyful and playful. Decades later, the looping laughter, stiff movements, and close-ups give it a strangely eerie tone. What once sold toys now feels like an early example of how easily innocence can slip into the uncanny when viewed through modern eyes. Credit: Remco #history #vintage #creepy #commercial #1970s
