In the early to mid 1980's, Southern Comfort put up a few billboards (this was when alcoholic beverage companies & cigarette companies were still allowed to advertise on television, in magazines & on billboards... and, as I recall, it was less than twenty) in various places throughout the United States to test a new marketing strategy. (Viral marketing was not yet a thing but companies were constantly trying to hook the US consumer on a phrase or a jingle. Mcdonald's & Pepsi consistently had the most popular ads during this time.)
The billboard was quite simple. It had a bottle bottle of Southern Comfort to the right and the words "Liquid Panty Remover" (in brown letters, each word having its own line) to the left, all on a plain beige background.
Several women's movements were outraged and so they were (often) featured on the front page of newspapers and (sometimes) made the lead story on network news... all without showing the sign or even saying the words "Liquid Panty Remover." (This was a time when newspapers were still relevant and there were no 24 hour cable news stations since cable television was still in its infancy.)
After the uproar, Southern Comfort quickly took down all of the billboards and I think they moved that particular ad to men's magazines such as Playboy.

Man to Woman: "That is a hilarious billboard! Liquid Panty Remover! Ha!"
Woman to Man: "You're a disgusting pig... blah blah blah... BLAH! Are you even listening to me?"
Man to Himself because Woman has stormed off in a huff: "HaHaa...Liquid Panty Remover. Good stuff."

Get the Liquid Panty Remover mug.Boomer remover is a controversial term for Covid-19, used mainly by millennials and Gen-Z, And it’s not an insult it’s a dirty joke, when a millennial says the Term Boomer Remover, not many people actually say it IRL In Real life kinda like eating tide pods, because it’s disrespectful and weird.

Get the remotely retarded mug.narrative-driven short films
A famous remote found Conan visit a historic, Civil War-era baseball league. That piece was one of O'Brien's personal favorites, later remarking, "When I leave this earth, at the funeral, just show this, because this pretty much says who I'm all about."
Within a year, O’Brien began to work out a kind of comedic formula for “Late Night.” In addition to the usual glittering array of guests, the show combined the lewd and wacky (regulars included a masturbating bear and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog) with more elegant, narrative-driven short films (which are called remotes) in which O’Brien left the studio and reported on, say, a historic baseball league or a station in Houston that refused to carry his show at its normal hour. The apotheosis of the “Late Night” remotes centered on the realization in 2006 that O’Brien bears a striking resemblance to the (female) president of Finland. “We took the show to Helsinki for five days,” O’Brien recalled, “where we were embraced like a national treasure.”
