I'm sure this has been done before, but just wondering what your favourite advert is.

Mine is the Jaffa cake one - full moon, half moon, total eclipse. Still makes me laugh 😁

I must have bought dozens of the musk one back on the 70s.

I don't suppose they would be allowed to say 'for girls' nowadays!

They were lovely.

MariePaperRoses · 09/09/2023 11:22

I miss these!

Modern confectionery and cakes are awful compared to those of yesteryear

MariePaperRoses · 09/09/2023 11:23

This was huge at the time!

MariePaperRoses · 09/09/2023 11:24

The VW Polo ad with the Jack Russell-full of swagger in the car but shy and shaky out of it!

Pea and ham? From a chicken!
Now that's clever.

tshirthunter · 09/09/2023 13:39

Loved this as a child! Though for years I thought it was for Heineken so it didn't do its job very well!

Dancing milk bottles is probably my favourite:

Then the Do It All song with Ronnie Barker:

And the walking pylons (National Power):

I love the ad where the baby elephant was teased by a nerdy lad who wouldn't give him his last Rolo. Years later the lad has grown up and again he's in the front row at the circus. Grown up elephant recognises him and approaches him and gives hims a wallop, swiping his Rolo off him.

I've just remembered Happiness is a Cigar called Hamlet with Gregor Fisher in a photo booth trying to arrange his 'comb-over' without success to get a good picture.
