Nostalgic Adverts

[InsuranceForU18s]

Just added to a thread about discontinued confectionery. Made me think about adverts that stick in your mind. What nostalgic adverts do you remember well?

My favourite "Happiness is a cigarette called Hamlet" ad was Gregor Fisher in the photo booth trying to keep his strip of comb over in place for the photo.

Cigar!! It autocorrected

I wonder if that's why DH has somebpot noodles at the back of the cupboard.

I remember this ad. I thought it was hilarious. Not surprised it was banned though. 😂

If you want bad/inappropriate adds do a YouTube for a cider maker called Dickens in Tasmania. Funny but....

Good lord, @MoonahSton - I'd never twigged!

The diet coke advert. The sweaty labourer and the hot and bothered women watching him!

You only get a hug, from a Bachelor's mug!

How about the horrifically fat-shaming "somebody isn't using Marvel"?

I could never quite believe that was actually a thing. It was so awful

'Thank you very much for feeding William, thank you very very very very very very very MUCH'! Quality Street or Roses I think?

My dc loved that one when we talked about ads I liked.

I also liked the
My dc found the most unbelievable thing there was the 80s computers actually worked 🤣

And the other one I remember was

And the other one I quote is

"He's a nice man.... a very very very nice man..."

And the Cross your heart bras from Playtex. The lady modelling the bra would do a criss cross motion with her finger. And ads for 18 hour girdles which must have been torturous to wear.

The Oxo Family featuring the much missed Linda Bellingham.
The Nimble Bread advert featuring a girl in a hat air balloon.
'Thats the Wonder of Woolies (Woolworths Christmas advert).
Harmony and Recreation Party (Harp Lager).
For mash get smash.

Just thought of another one oh oh Vitalite with the sun and the sun flowers dancing.

And William was a goldfish!

Toblerone, out on its own,
Triangular chocolate.
That’s Toblerone.

Made with triangular almonds,
From triangular trees,
And triangular honey,
From triangular bees.

And oh, Mr Confectioner please,
Give me Toblerone.

@MargaretThursday wow, I just read through the whole thread thinking "nobody will have mentioned the Do It All advert" - and you did! My sister & I loved it so much that we recorded it on video, then watched it repeatedly to learn all the words.
