They're still around amazingly enough, packaging is more off putting now.

Only the 1980's would there have been a bank ad with Aussie animals on it?! Both concepts couldn't be further from one another, I would've thought it was RSPCA more than anything?! Why can't we do ads like this anymore?!.....

Tell me when to stop laughing? 🤪

They are just a rip off nissan patrols. Land cruisers are better anyway.

Is this just a rebadged Nissan Patrol?

The only thing that is "dating" is modern society that exists to be upset and would rather spend more time hating on the past and present then trying to make a happy future for all.

That was hilarious

Nissan know how!

I'd forgotten what caramel brown interiors looked like when new. I've just been reminded!😜

I love it the simplicity of life back then

Ahh The Nissan Maverick/Ford Patrol. Brought to you by the Button Scheme. No innovation - just badge engineering.

👍👍👍

Theyre the same and their nissans Love my maverick

Dated or not, it won me. Now to find one of those soft tops we saw at the start.

Nissan and Ford swapped vechiles back in the late 80s early 90s

testicle cancer is funnier

Then you could get a Nissan falcon Ute too.

There new, different and Ford's. Lol also a patrol.

hi, i'd like to get in touch with you about your video, how can i do so? thanks

This was definitely originally aired in 1988. Reasons: Lawsie (John Laws) did a few ads around this time (he's reading the second stanza from Dorothea Mackellar's 'My Country') The Seoul Olympics happened that year (which is why there is the rings at the end) There's an LC60 facelift at the very end (which came out that year).

Who thought a GQ Patrol could be even worse?

P

WOW NEVER knew they made a Trayback!

What's hilarious about this ad?

ride like a car bitch please

Awesome Geordie! When do I get to come work on some rad festivals with you? I miss the mud!

Who was the AAMI chick from the 80's?

there rusticles

This is not really "hilariously funny", is it?

Much prefer the ad where Status Quo butcher the fark outta one of their all time greatest songs... on second thoughts... nah, I dont.

I'll tell you what's funny ,that the factor that I am living in the 21st century paying a crap load of money for groceries at expensive prices and lousy customer service...I'm laughing at myself that I'd rather be alive in that time than this time, that I was just an innocent kid who saw all these great moments like this pass and wizz on by for an era/time that I took (perhaps we all did) for granted......Tell me who's laughing now?......

the C logo is the same as Cummins Turbos for trucks

Awsome!

Never mind the hilariously funny label - it should've gone to the Down down campaign that's slapping people in the faces. Why not go along with 'nostalgic'?

Please join me in 40 seconds of silence............... thank you

@Mockingbird5150 Did you get the Holden Camira? No? You're lucky, we Aussies did.

there nissans AND fords!

@dx80cruiser haha yeah, but do you remember the Ford Falcon ute being rebadged as Nissan and simply called the 'Nissan Ute" hahaha

Never saw the tray back around, saw the LWB and SWB but didnt know they even made the tray back, guess everyone who needed one purchased a Patrol instead

the first car is blairs car in it there is blair his chaffer and his PPO who stands next to him. in the black range rover the other 4 PPOs follow behind 3 of the PPOs in the range rover form a close perimiter around him while the other PPO stays in the car ready to drive off. blairs car and the black range rover are armoured and all the PPOs are armed with glock 17 pistols, with 2 spare magazines 17 round each they also have handcuffs.

They're different and they're Fords.....er, Nissans.

Better than that 'Down down prices are down" bullshit anyway.

@sadalite stuff that's better than the crap we get from the US anyway.

@kiowa473 im talking about cars in AUSTRALIA so yes i have heard of them but not all

@MrCrowart I can see you never owned or heard of a car named Mustang, a classic Cougar, Torino Talladega, AC Shelby Cobra, Fairlane Thunderbolt, GT, De Tomaso Ford Pantera, .....etc

@meringandan anything with a FORD Badge depreciates in value!

whats dated about it ????????

It's time for a change, a change for the better, to Coles New Worrrrrllllldddd!

amazing speech

Good on ya Lawsie
