Favourite retro advert campaigns

[Floogal]

Usually when people discuss retro nostalgic adverts, they usually refer to individual ones. I want to know what other people's favourite advert campaigns were. Mine are:

1. The PG tips adverts with the chimpanzees - enough said 🤣🥰.
2. The Philadelphia adverts with those two shrill eccentric women.
3. The insurance company adverts with the blonde bespectacled boy/man called Norman. He has the ability to see into the future, hence his job 🤣
4. The adverts for shares of electricity companies after they got privatised. They all featured this monster family (like Munsters or Adams Family)

John Smith's with the ladybirds

Carling Black Label.

Timotei Shampoo and Flake ads.

I found them similar 😂

Also....

Club
Trio
5-4-3-2-1
Um- Bongo
Kia Ora

I have all their jingles forever etched in my memory- 80s kid.

Milky bar kid
Nescafe Gold blend

Oh the Nescafé ones, where it was made into a pretentious soap opera (a bit like the Oxo family) . Still better than the Nescafé song

The Guinness ones

Oxo and Gold Blend.
Scotch video tapes.
If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit join our Club.
Triiiiiiio.
Um Bongo Um Bongo the drink it in the Congo.
Tizer.
Alka Seltzer - the science of plink plink fizzics.
Hamlet cigars.
Yellow Pages.
Busby/BT

Showing my age with those I suspect!

Oh and the Cadbury Boost one with Vic Reeves - "lightly rippled with a flat underside"

"Pea and ham...from a chicken!?"

Yes! What Hamish doesn't know...

Maureen Lipman in the bT ads with the "he's got an ology"

Tango, everyone at school were slapping each other, you’ve been tango’d,
classic 🤪

I've still got a tango doll at home

Oxo adds might be the most iconic, closely followed by fairy

Cheesy I know but some of the Levi's jeans ones.

Smash potatoes - the martians (?) rolling about laughing at humans mashing potatoes.

Watch out, watch out there's a Humphrey about.....milk with the straws.

“If you see Sid, tell him” From the late 80’s. Can’t remember what Sid needed to be told about - BT, Gas??

Are you thinking Nick Kamen in the launderette? Because I immediately think of Flat Eric!

Was it the Toffee Crisp one? "Are you there Sidney??" When they were doing a seance?

Leonard Rossiter & Joan Collins. Was it Campari?

For mash, get smash
Kia Ora - boogie boogie boogie - Adora
As fruity as fruitella
Tango was later, but still good
A really weird one that I have never been able to find since involving two "jazz style" gentlemen, formally dressed that muttered some words and it ended up with them saying "beef stew", defo in the '90s, and it bore no resemblance to what they were selling. I am thinking it was pot noodle or tuc crackers

My dad seemed to like the Cadbury's flake one, the Timotei (shampoo) one, and Harmony hair spray (is she or isn't she) old perve fgs lol.

The vw golf ad from the 80's with the woman leaving her husband. She's upset and takes off her jewellery, posts the wedding ring through the letterbox, dumps the coat and earrings but as she goes to drop the car keys down the drain she decides to keep the car.
Last scene shows her driving away with a smile and the tag line was something like "if only everything was as reliable as a Volkswagen"
An absolutely classic ad that I still find myself thinking about all these years later.

Sony Bravia. I liked the paint on the block of flats but the coloured bouncing balls bouncing down the street was spectacular. And all real, not C.G.I camera trickery. And the music was fab.
