Inspired by the childhood TV programme thread....

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

I loved Flat Eric too, and, longer ago, 'Accrington Stanley? Who are they? Exactly!'

I hated those Guinness ones. So pretentious.

Job is where the boy runs through tine

Hamlet ad - the man in the photo booth

The one with the animals in front of the fire and the dog kisses the cat who turns and kisses the mouse.

Honda - the Cog

Coca-Cola Holidays are Coming - gets me in the mood for Christmas

Some of the Pizza Hut adverts, when they used to take the mick out of something (eg Gareth Southgate penalty)

The old Heinz soup adverts with the boy and his Grandad :

"Were they wild Grandad"?
"Wild, they were furious , we'd eaten all t'soup"

"I thought Sir Edmund Hillary conquered Everest , Grandad...."
"He was with us son, he was with us"

When I was a kid I loved the one for Wrigley’s gum, again mainly due to the music.

I love the one for specsavers where the vet says "Karen I've a cat here with no pulse" and it turns out to be his assistant's furry hat.
Makes me laugh every time. I should get out more. Grin

I used to love the "get into the ka" advert. Reminded me of x files.

KatsutheClockworkOctopus · 01/11/2018 19:13

McCains "Daddy or chips?" advert.

MothertotheLordsofmisrule · 01/11/2018 19:28

The Henry VIII 3 network advert at the cinema, Henry is on a version of tindr and us swiping left through potential wives.
As he swipes left it comes up with ‘Survived’. He gets to a group photo and says “Group photo. Which one is it? No!”
Swipes to Jane Seymour’s profile “Another group photo! Why do they do that!!!?”

It was the Survived bit that made me giggle.

Nescafe advert where she makes a coffee in the car with a kettle element plugged in to the cigarette lighter and stuck in a red coffee mug and the song 'i can see clearly now the rain has gone' plays in the background. I thought was very glam are the time
