Classic TV Adverts

[Strike]

I was wandering what are your all time fav ads, I have just watched the Lifes Too Short X-Box advert, that was banned after receiving 136 complaints mostly from pregant mums. I like that ad if you want to see it check this link.

My all time favorite advert is the Tango advert of the early to mid 90's, with the phrase 'You Know When You have been tangoed. So what are your favorite adverts.

I'll stick with the Andrex puppies.

 

[Long Saulty Seagull]

The Oxo Family.

Linda Bellingham was a bit of alright in her day.

 

[Wardy]

The John West one for salmon with the bloke and the bear, where the man ends up kicking the bear in the balls.

 

[Biscuit]

The John West one for salmon with the bloke and the bear, where the man ends up kicking the bear in the balls.

I downloaded that on Kazaa!

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

 

[Dropkick Turnip]

Audi A4 advert from about 10 years ago where the aggressive yuppie-type takes it for a test drive but decides that "it's not my style, know what I mean?". Advertising genius! If anyone knows where I can download a copy, please let me know.

Describes it far better than I could here

[Jam The Man]

I loved the Golden Syrup ad of the early 90's.. Spike Milligan did the voice of spoons singing "Stick it on your spoon, stick it in the tin... pour that golden syrup all over it baby, stick it on your shopping list" etc...

Nike Parklife

That is a GOOD ad.

My favourite recent one is the Lynx one where the couple meet in the supermarket and end up in bed (the ad goes backwards from the bed). It makes me feel all warm inside.

What about the PG tips adverts with the monkeys which have gone on for years.

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

'Tis a good one - The thieving Pandas on the Knorr advert at the moment rule. Classics already.

What about the PG tips adverts with the monkeys which have gone on for years.

Yes, they are probably my least favourite ads of all time. Annoying, not at all funny and slightly disturbing. But that's my opinion.

 

[The Large One]

The John West one for salmon with the bloke and the bear, where the man ends up kicking the bear in the balls.

My partner's cousin was responsible for the ad concept and directed the ad filming. That and all the John Smith's ads since Jack Dee and Peter Kay. Oh, and the cigarettes dripping in fat. And the Boddington's 'Tarquin, are your trolleys on back to front..'

Myself, I rather like the R Whites Lemonade ads from the 1970s, the first of which was sung by Declan McManus (Elvis Costello's dad), and featuring Elvis' TV debut. The second one with the bloke creeping downstairs during the night was a different actor, but still used Declan's voice.

Harveys!

 

[El Presidente]

Cadbury's Flake, in the pre-porn 70's this was the nearest thing you got to a blowjob on screen.

The information adverts, eg. "Charly says..." are on tvark.com and are fantastic. also now availiable on DVD.

The Smashmen are the tops though.

 

[Braders]

Nike scorpion cage one


the 'AVE IT john smiths advert

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Milk Tray Man

But what I couldn't understand, why couldn't he just find a girlfriend that didn't live on top of an impossible to reach snowy mountain surrounded with a shark-infested moat etc

Biscuit what is that classic one on your brothers PC with the car and then that zombie jumping out. f***ing hilarious but I can't find it anywhere
