An anachronism is something that is chronologically out of place, like a picture of George Washington holding an M16, or Bill Clinton sexually assaulting Pocahontas. A Polaroid of the pyramids being built would be an anachronism, but the pyramids themselves are not an anachronism.

An old commercial, and this commercial specifically, is not an anachronism as everything is chronologically in order.

I made an image of the definition at post #33, where it defines an anachronism as something that is old fashioned and somewhat out of place.
