I like the one with the little girl who gets the £ out of the trolley and skips along all happy, dad asks for the £ back and her little face drops. So sweet.

The FAST adverts really stick in my mind.

Road safety ads; Such and such knew her killer (with the family in the car) and the little girl who'd been run over and was slumped by a tree (if you'd been going at 20 I'd survive..)

I'm sure there was a fire service one also (around Christmas) that showed just how quickly the room went up in flames.

What are yours?

definitely this one for Smash

The Skoda made of cake advert.

PrivateSpidey · 11/03/2020 23:47

The ad with the milkman doing his deliveries, and all the milk bottles marching after him down the street and going to whichever house they were meant for. "Lads! You know they're away for a fortnight!" Grin

The smash potato Martian's in the 70's and the PG tips tea with the monkeys.
There was one for pickled onions, branston iirc, used to crack me up.
Love watching the old ads on YouTube.

KizzyWayfarer · 12/03/2020 06:45

The ad with the milkman doing his deliveries, and all the milk bottles marching after him down the street and going to whichever house they were meant for. "Lads! You know they're away for a fortnight!"
And the Humphries adverts before that "There's a Humphrey about".

Loved the one where she collects her divorce papers from her smiling lawyer and drives off triumphantly to the song "Young At Heart"!

Kpo58 · 12/03/2020 09:50

Years ago there was a Eurostar advert in Waterloo station with the line Suprise your girlfriend. Take her sister to Paris. Grin

Corona pop - Fizzical

yes that milkman one! it was Charlie off Casualty I think

LittleSweet · 12/03/2020 20:48

You've been tangoed, with the tubby, orange man slapping people.

Cats with thumbs. Cats plotting world domination. Cravendale milk.

Do you do pot noodle? Woman looks shocked and slaps the man hard. Pot Noodle, the slag of all snacks. Very un pc.

DrMaryMalone · 12/03/2020 20:51

Probably a Scottish thing but when I was wee there were ads for Tennants Special beer that had fake Blues brothers in them that always stuck with me.

"That no heavy?"
"Naw its special!"

BikeRunSki · 12/03/2020 21:25

Accrington Stanley
Whooo?!
Exactly!

zwellers · 12/03/2020 21:38

'Konica colours are calling me' and 'if you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit join our club'

Zisforstripyoss · 12/03/2020 21:44

This. I loved it at the time, it made me chuckle. I still get the song stuck in my head. My favourite bit - "leave him alone Barry, we can't all be into the SAME THINGS"

Zisforstripyoss · 12/03/2020 21:46

Oh and "Sophie, who do you like better, Daddy or chips?" and Sophie spends all day thinking about and decides she likes chips best! McCain advert I think?

Riv12345 · 12/03/2020 21:52

Do anyone remember the Argos sale advert
When the bloke say Argos sale I just cnt get over it

As he try's to get over a wall
It's just the way he says it

Argos sale it's so good I cnt get over it!!!!

Definitely the Guinness horses one - just beautiful

Mr Soft
Daim Armadillo
Judderman
Lurpak Joanna Lumley adverts

HighNetGirth · 13/03/2020 04:31

Another vote for ‘Daddy or chips?’.
Also the Hamlet cigars ads;
Diet Tango (You need it because you’re weak);
The Irn Bru pisstake of the Coke advert where the boy gets headbutted by the vending machine.

RAOK · 13/03/2020 05:05

I hated Daddy or chips!

The Specsavers one with Phoebe the cat is brilliant.

I liked the bank advert with the water slide too.

RAOK · 13/03/2020 05:05

Oh and the Aldi one with the old lady who likes gin! Grin

scrivette · 13/03/2020 22:42

Great thread!

In the late 90's there was an advert for Lucozade with the 2 Fat Slags from Viz and the man they had spent the night with put a can there with all the cream cakes.

Katinski · 13/03/2020 23:24

From my childhood - don't forget the fruitgums, mum.
the hamlet cigar one
daddy or chips
