Adverts that have stuck with you

[Tillow4ever]

We currently have a free trial of a streaming service, so are stuck with adverts for the first time in a long time. It got me thinking - what adverts have really stuck with you over the years? I remember saying how awful the 118 and GoCompare adverts were, and my Dad said to me “well they did their job then, didn’t they?” Because they got me remembering their brand and what the service was!

I’m sure this has been done before - but humour me pleases and share with me adverts that stuck with you. I wonder if there’s a theme of particular adverts being truly memorable for all, or any that random people remember that jog a memory in someone else.

Here’s mine:

Milkyway - Red car & blue car race (I still remember all the words to the song)
Tango - You know, when you’ve been Tango’d
118 118 - Got your number
Go Compare - stupid opera man
Yellow Pages - JR Hartley and the other one where the lad had the party and cleans his house to find the scratch in the table
Dolmio puppets - Whensa your Dolmio Day?

There was one about a breakfast cereal where they were on holiday or done thing singing a song - some of the lyrics were “I think there’s a rack by your toes. But what about the BRAND NAME that’s a different matter, here’s what they all reply. They’re tasty, tasty, very very tasty. They’re very tasty” I’m thinking All Bran or something like that? If anyone remembers please help me!

Another one - “there’s a moose, loose about this hoose” - some sort of sweet think?

Looking forward to seeing some others!

My bank is now a trendy wine bar - Nat West

Stick us a flake in that love - Boddington’s Bitter

Yes - I think it was "If you hit me at 35 mph I'll probably die. If you hit me at 25mph I'll probably live." Also remember the one about the boy in the back seat.

There was a Skoda advert where they made a car out of cake. That was beautifully done.

All of these. Plus

You can't better than a quick fit fitter.

Knorr stock cubes: "Elspeth's gone to Inverness for a hen night."
"All that way just to pick up a chicken?" She's actually watching Tom Jones.

Papa and Nicole with their Renault Clios.

The one for the Vauxhall corsa where the cars were playing hide and seek (think it was filmed in Budapest).

That speeding advert where theres a dead ginger boy randomly in sight whenever the man who hit him goes anywhere - including when hes in bed. Haunts me to this day 😬

Sharp of tongue and spindle-limbed he is, and cunning

So many bells ringing with these, can’t believe no one’s mentioned
“Men can’t help acting on Impulse”
(possibly gave me high expectations of the impact of body spray!)

70s public info films
Don't climb into an old fridge
The kid running to a beach ..up turned broken bottle sticking out the sand.
Felix cat food using You've been away by Ruben..Northern soul record

'A pint of Harp and a packet of dates please'

And the John West salmon one with the bear 😂

The Lip Smackin', third quenching Pepsi advert from the 70s

The Coke advert with I Want to Teach The World to Sing

The Renault advert with the man leaving his job to set up business on his own with two others but the car will have to go back and his posh wife asking if he wasn't being a bit hasty as they dropped their kid off at private school 😆

"Pea and ham? Fae a chicken? That's clever"
Was in the same run of adverts. When adverts were humorous.

Oh the Wrigley's gum. Great to chew. Even better to share. There was a hot man, young woman and I think a greyhound bus.

You can't sing, you can't play, you look awful...

‘She flies like a bird in the sky-y-y-y’ 🎵 - Nimble bread

The phallic ‘only the crumbliest, flakiest chocolate….’

The car advert with the kids talking about their Dad. "Overtired!" That one made me smile every time.

and of course the various Levi’s adverts from the 80s… NIck Kamen in the laundrette and the one where a woman says goodbye to her boyfriend who’s a soldier and he leaves her his Levi’s as a gift

"The red car and the blue car had a race" was the first one that popped into my head too 😁

"Accrington Stanley? Who are they?! exactly!"

Sun pat, Sun pat, our son Pat. I'll kill 'im when I get me hands on 'im!"

"There's juice, loose, aboot this hoose... "

The brook bond d one with the cartoon hammers
the alcohol (i think) one that ends with an undertaker looking down a hole.
The bread one which ends with a bloke tackling a lion.

I'm a secret lemonade drinker! R White's lemonade.

Very well known one, Elvis Costello's dad I believe.

Has anyone mentioned any of the firy liquid ones? Or even better the OXO family ads? So wholesome!

The Guiness advert with the horses in the sea. I always liked that advert.
