Inspired by the childhood TV programme thread....

I loved the Unigate milk advert and the 'Humphreys' on the march to find it!

The man you wish your man would smell like. For Old Spice. Love that. "I'm on a horse!"

Also really miss the Ferrero Rocher Ambassador adverts. At University we used to have Ambassador's Receptions and bring Ferrero Rocher and tell each other we were really spoiling each other. My favourite part was that on the continent apparently it was taken seriously and really well received.

And the Doublemint adverts "soooo hows your new girlfriend?" "She's great, I'm meeting her in a minute" "And you're eating ONIONS?!!!!!!!!!"

All the Carling Black Label ones, and the Hamlet cigars. Grin Despite the fact that I don't drink or smoke. LOL!

The car adverts where they made one car out of cake and one car out of like, snake venom and tyre rubber, and it was the to song “my favourite things” from the sound of music. Was it a Suzuki swift?

De Beers diamonds. They used to be on only at Christmas, and they were so fancy and aspirational.

The Oxo family one with Linda Bellingham where at the end she raised her eyebrow and says "Michael, remember Preston?"

This Guinness ad from the 90s.

WhatchaMaCalllit · 31/10/2018 23:18

Even though they can't advertise anymore on tv, I loved the ads for Hamlet Mild Cigars. All of them!

Also loved the ad for Harp "And Sally O'Brien and the way she might look at you"...

Oxo and Bisto.

Actually something that used to be advertised a lot on Irish tv in the late 70s & early 80s was for farming products to kill liver fluke, they used to be on every Sunday around the time that Glenroe was on (Irish MN will get that reference).

Isleepinahedgefund · 31/10/2018 23:22

Oh yeah JR Hartley "do you have a copy of fly fishing?" And do you remember Spitting Image did a parody "do you have a copy of the Bible, by God? My name....?"
