Inspired by the childhood TV programme thread....

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

An old one with Maureen lipman talking to her grandson who not Done very well in his exams. She said ‘’ you got an ology you’re a scientist!’
Loved the advert, frequently use the phrase. No idea what the advert was for though.

BT!! British Telecom. Was phoning her mates to brag.

The sequence of 4 Heineken adverts from 2001 based on Paul Daniels, Debbie McGee and other "undesirables" singing "Close To You". See all of them

There was a brilliant one in the Nineties that took the piss out of the Riverdsnce craze.

It was a pub scene, with people just standing around behaving normally, but then whenever anyone moved around the pub their legs kind of did a jig while their upper bodies where just moving normally and their faces were totally deadpan.

I'm not describing it well, but it didn't half make me laugh. I think it was for Murphy's stout.

Guinness advert with the horses - awesome!

The kiaora one we still reference all the time and even our kids use it now!

Accrington Stanley was fab!

John Lewis adverts make me cry Blush

Oh the man with the Milk Tray...! Dressed in black skiing down a mountain to deliver said box of chocs to lovely half dressed, half awake female in her chalet at night. V romantic at that point in the 70s....

Personally I'd have been fucking fuming. Wake me up with a shite box of chocolates like those!? Bring me All Gold, you snow sliding bastard.... AngryGrin

Question: toothbrush ads never have any toothpaste on the brush during the usual gleaming-teeth-in-a-wide-smile act of brushing?

There was an Allied Dunbar advert where a man finds a pregnancy test in his bathroom, goes down to his family at breakfast and starts questioning his teenage daughters before his wife says “actually It’s us who needs to be more careful” and then they start singing “there may be trouble ahead” and doing breakfast things along to the tube.
It was in the advert break of a movie we had recorded to vhs, and it always really tickled me.

The 70s/80s Levi's ads like" leader of the pack" - fab! Don't watch tv any more.

toddlepod · 01/11/2018 05:40

Levis! The spaceman ad!
