Best Adverts Ever

Inspired by the thread about the worst ones. I often lament the loss of the great adverts of the late 80s and 90s. I loved the sunkist one, the Wrigley's spearmint one, hamlet, the one where Henry looks a big girls blouse in portia's prize for the cat food add. BT ology add with Maureen Lipman, the fly fishing book one and the yellow pages house trashed at a party one. Budweiser ones with the whatever creatures they were. I'm ill with a bad infection so please cheer me up with your memories of great adds.

Insignia
Fruit and nut
Cherry coke
Milky Way

The drumming gorilla - dairy milk chocolate, was it?

Just Juice - the full version, used to love to sing along to that.

In-Phone - dial phone that used to be called a trim phone. The tune was 'In with the in crowd.'

More recent than the 80s or 90s but I did like the Aldi one with the old lady "I don't like tea. I like Gin."
For a classic one, I can still remember most of the Um Bongo song.

I liked the cars playing hide and seek around the city, cannot remember which car make/model it was though. Probably around 2005 but could be wrong.

R Whites lemonade ( I still sing this when I'm getting a glass of lemonade)
Shake n Vac - still sing this when I'm doing my housework
The Smash / Aliens one
All years old, but brilliant.
They don't make em like that anymore. The adverts when I was growing up were sometimes better than the programmes we were watching!

The Easyjet ferris wheel ad - makes me well up. And the BA "face" advert.

Oh loved that one, Vauxhall Corsa , using "Touch Sensitive" by The Fall!

One advert I only saw a few times but stuck in my mind was for Drambuie with Robert Hardy

Okbye · 24/07/2022 16:33

The classic Milky Way 'the red car and the blue car had a race' I still remember all the words to that song!

saveforthat · 24/07/2022 16:37

@Amdone123 I came on to say those too! Amazing that we still sing the themes years later. One I like to sing when I'm cooking is Filipoberrio Filipoberrio.....olive oil
