Inspired by the childhood TV programme thread....

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

I love the crazy Ribena advert with the animals in party hats etc and the mad music!

Toddlerteaplease · 31/10/2018 23:35

Smash Aliens, although way before my time!

The Jaffa Cakes advert 'full moon, half moon, total eclipse'

Loved the Skoda made out of cake

The other one wasn't a real advert it was the 'House Hippos' one to warn about not believing everything you see - I've wanted a house hippo ever since 😄

JakeBallard I was coming on to say that one too, it was for BT back in the day, it always makes me laugh. Reminds me how my mum is with ds!!

The haribo adverts

KeepServingTheDrinks · 31/10/2018 23:41

You're all wrong.

The KitKat advert with the roller skating pandas

It's the music that makes it!

DaysOfCurlySpencer · 31/10/2018 23:48

Not an amusing one, but I remember this one when Mates first came out.

With a very young Simon Godley, actor and dentist to the stars.

PurpleFlower1983 · 31/10/2018 23:50

Vitalite and the Milky Way one (red car and blue car).

Justmuddlingalong · 31/10/2018 23:54

The Kia ora one they used to show at the cinema. It's probably banned now.

PrincessConsuelaBananahamm0ck · 31/10/2018 23:58

Red car & blue car Milky Way advert,

Accrington Stanley milk advert,

Bernard Matthews Golden Drummers where the boy comes home from scout camp advert,

Trio.....TRIIIIOOOO chocolate bar advert,

Um Bongo advert.

Can you tell I was born in the 80s....?!

baristagirl · 01/11/2018 00:02

Hope this works 🙈

7Days · 01/11/2018 00:02

Oh God yeah, the liver fluke ad.
Also triple A - maybe the same one? These cowboy looking characters playing poker.
Some agricultural product anyway.
Or an i thinking of 10 10 20. But that's feed, I think.

Another for the Honda Rube Goldberg machine.

It's awesome that there's no CGI tricks, it's all real (though there's one splice, on the silencer rolling). It took them hundreds of takes to get the one that just works.

When I grow up I’m going to be a proper little madam. Fairy?

MujosMama · 01/11/2018 00:16

This one! Looks like we overdid it with the sweet sherry..

by the Health Education Council. Genius. I'd bought condoms before this advert but I genuinely felt calmer and less stressed about doing so afterwards.

Can I have two? The 'this girl can' campaign. More genius.

Ifonlyiweretaller · 01/11/2018 00:30

"Roll us your cap grandad" advert for Heinz Beans
"Fred's got plenty, Arthur's got plenty, we've ALL got plenty" a slightly sinister ad for British pork... reddit.app.link/3QmZPz9AtR

TooManyPaws · 01/11/2018 00:32

Currently I love the Flash dog and the various Maltesers ads.

It drove me potty at the time but the dreadful Brentford Nylons ads in the early 70s have proved unable to be scrubbed from my brain. Whatever happened to them? On a happier note, the Fry's Turkish Delight from the same era - so exotic! 😂

'Re-record not fade away, Re-record not fade away'. Loved it so much I even YouTubed it a few times for nostalgic purposes Grin

VerbeenaBeeks · 01/11/2018 01:08

Faaaar too many! Not RTFT.
From memory -

"There's juice, loose, aboot this hoose!"
< cue kilt Scotsman high jigging or whatnot>

  • "The red car and the blue car had a race, all he had to do was stuff his face... he eats everything he sees, from trucks to prickly trees but smart old blue he took the Milky Way!"

"Sunpat, sunpat, our son Pat. I'll kill 'im when I get me hands on 'im!" (peanut butter)

"Accrington Stanley? Who are they?! EXACTLY!"(milk)
