Which old adverts do you remember? UK

[Squashinthepinkcup]

Wondering if it's just me who has a brain that retains truly useless information like jingles and entire scripts to adverts from yonks ago

For me its

• 122 years of hovis
• legit every word to the cheer up ever green frog singing to the tune of daydream believer
• accrington stanley milk
• the entire poem from Comfort Vaporesse
• orange Wednesdays.... 'baby, we should go every Wednesday!'

Honestly would be way better if I could switch some memory cells for something actually useful 😂

Anyone else?!

I love this Nescafe one.

‘I want to be a tomato’ - some kind of insurance?

‘Now I pass the ball to Jim, that’s the last we see of him. Now my way is blocked by a wall called Bruce. It’s hard to sell a dummy with a bloke around your tummy, blow the whistle ref! It’s time for a truce. For a brew just right with a little bit of bite, get yourself a mate called Smith’ - John Smiths bitter

’Will it be chips or jacket spuds? Will it be salad or frozen peas? Will it be mushrooms? Fried onion rings? You’ll have to wait and see! Chips it’s Chips! We hope it’s chips it’s chips!’ - birdseye steakhouse grills

The OXO family ads

The Cadbury kids with the eyebrows

Light up the sky with Standard fireworks !

I remember most of these!

There was an advert on earlier (I wasn't looking at the television at the time), and I just said to my mum without looking, "this is for Gillette isn't it?"...the tune has always been the same!!

🎵"Gillette! The best a man can get!"🎵

😆

And if only all laundrettes were like this

Harmony hairspray.
Nimble bread hot air balloon.

Only the crumbliest, flakiest, chocolate
tastes like chocolate never tasted before

Pretty woman seductively giving a Flake a BJ with a tantalisingly almost see thru top while sitting on a Romany-type caravan in a meadow , as I recall.
My mum thought it was filth.

Yuppie living in Docklands but hasn't got any money.

What do you do? You use your card to withdraw some cash

Some of these are so epic 😂

A-Boost, A-Boost, A-Cadbury's-Boost!

Tasty, tasty, very very tasty.
They're very tasty
(They weren't really but I like the song)

so Many already mentioned also
woman in bath - flake
hamlet cigars

All Red wants to do is stuff his face.
He eats everything he sees, from trucks to prickly trees,
But smart old Blue he took the Milky Way!

It's Harry the spider's coming out party!

Do you know the way to Cockfosters?

Sister: Sophie who dya like better, daddy or chips?

Dad comes in and steals a chip

Sophie: Chips!

There was a funny advert with Robbie Coltrane doing washing up for either his granny or auntie. It was years ago.

Bounty taste of paradise.

Crunchie I'm so excited where the little people were jumping out of the chocolate bar.

Milky Bars are on me!

Papa. Nicole

Oh Mr Soft, won’t you tell me why the world in which you’re living is so strange and rearranged… (soft mints!)

Snd then I remember another advert, maybe for Baileys, with people falling backwards in slow motion to “ring all the bells”

My favourite is the Kit Kat advert from the 80's with the rollerskating pandas

The Cinzano advert with Joan Collins and Leonard Rossiter

Shake and vac

You know you've been tangoed with the orange running around slapping people.

When the Big Mac was launched and if you went and listed what was in a big mac, you got a free one - Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onion all on a sesame seed bun ! You had to say it in a certain time.

Compari - Luton airport with Lorraine Chase
