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!

‘Were you truly wafted in from paradise?’
’Nah - Luton airport!’

I think that may have been Dubonnet.

Thought it was Cinzano?

The Cadbury one with the gorilla on the drums

I often want to say £1.38 in a slightly nerdy student voice because of an advert for some bank or another. I can't remember which!

Wasn't that campari or am I thinking of someone else?

Campari

Were you truly wafted here from paradise?
No, Luton Airport.

Wiv Lorraine Chase?

But I do remember "Dubonnet vous??"

Guinness made a string of wonderful ads. There were loads with Rutger Hauer, and the wonderful one with the bloke waiting for his pint to settle to the mambo "Guaglione" which went on to top the pop charts.

"If... you're drinking Bacardi"

"Over here, son, on the head" Carling Black Label Yorick scene, and the Dam Busters one (with Hale and Pace, maybe)

Matt LeBlanc before Friends propping a Heinz ketchup bottle on the roof and running downstairs to the street with his hot dog.

"If you see Sid, tell him!" Privatisation.

"Turn off-and-on-able" and all the other Creature Comforts ads (pre Wallace and Gromit)

BN BN (do doo do do doo) BN BN (doo do do doo)

Skittles taste the rainbow

Coca cola advert

Onky blocks from Onken (yoghurts)

BMW 1 series (you'll be under my wheels by prodigy)

Peugeot 406 (m people search for the hero)

Herbal essences Nicole scherzinger in the shower

'I feel like chicken tonight'

Probably lots others from late 90s/2000s that would come back to me if I was reminded of them

Ohh yes- classic!

@OttersOnAPlane , I linked the Guinness one with the man dancing to Guaglione upthread.

Also, 'BT phone home!'

It was such a corker! Brings a big smile to my face.

Ohh wow yes- I loved that Sony one with the coloured balls! Think it was for the Bravia TV

Luton Airport was Cinzano, IIRC.

Campari

The Carling adverts were hilarious, Honda’s were very clever with the continuity across the vehicles.
The moose loose was fruit gums, haven’t seen “Join our Club” yet for Club biscuits or 54321 yet.

Mine are from the 1970s!

Cadbury's Flake - blond girl with long hair in field in soft focus simulating oral sex eating chocolate
Slimcea dieting bread - blond girl with long hair in a hot air balloon
Silverkrin shampoo - blond girl with long hair flicking it

Not a good time to be a redhead, as I was

Vick's nasal spray - Malcolm the son saying to his mum in a nice orange 70s hall: 'Oh bum, I can't go to school like this. I'm all bunged up.' 'Of course you can, Malcolm. 'Ere, troy this.'

I was in the north, so the southern voices intrigued me.

Hai Karate advert
The great smell of Brut with boxer Henry Cooper
Schweppes tonic water
"Everyone's a fruit and nut case" - Cadbury's chocolate bar
Protein 21 shampoo with Lynn Frederick

Yes of course - Campari with soda? Nah, lemonade!

and as @Nara2ksays - Dubonet was Dubonnet-vous?

More 70s

The ‘is she or isn’t she’ wearing hairspray - Harmony?

‘fresh as the moment as the pod went pop’ frozen peas (Birds Eye?)

And the ‘everyone’s a fruit and nut case’ for Cadbury’s Fruit and nut

I remember the one advertising unions. A lady coughed in front of a desk. On her own nothing, but her cough when magnified by the union was huge. It’s always stuck with me. Shame unions have now abandoned women as a sex class.

I think of this multiple times a week if I catch my speed creeping over 30.

But otherwise:

The Walls sausage dog
The Dulux dog (I’m maybe spotting a theme here, or I’ve walked into the dog related recesses of my mind)

And one we still talk about now was the Hive heating one with the “schnauzer in your trousers” song. It was awful because it was when Hive was new, didn’t tell you what it was other than almost incomprehensible lyrics at the end “while hive controls your heating at home”. I worked somewhere that sold it, so I knew what it was at the time but spent a lot of time explaining it to customers, saw the advert and was genuinely astounded as it wasn’t going to help anyone understand the product or want it!

Butterkist! Butterkist! Ra Ra Ra!

I liked Maureen Lipman's British Telecom adverts: 'He's got an ology!'
