1980s TV Ad's Collection Part 1 retroireland.info

[@jimmurphy3287]

Just watching these makes you realize things were not cheap back in the good auld days.

[@martinmcdonald4207]

Yes i noticed that too. The cost of bringing you and your family on the ferry to Holyhead was huge money compared to today.

[@cremedelacreme12]

Yes but the cost of property was significantly cheaper, therein lies the problem 👍🏻

[@carolinemccormack7764]

I would have thought that things were cheaper than today.

[@ColmGibney]

Watching in 2024, things look cheaper for sure. The interest rates offered by the banks and building societies were amazing.

[@thebigpicture-elpanorama]

I remember loads of these ads. A time when we used the Imperial Measurement System, and the Euro wasn't even thought about.

[@katierowland6079]

OH. I loved that. So many memories!

[@thereseflynn7615]

I remember some of them now, long time ago when everything was different.

[@hugostiglitz6914]

@2.41 12.5% interest. Holy fuck, where are those days gone?

[@conorpower]

Because nobody had money to save back then

[@carolinemccormack7764]

@@conorpower they still don't, not with the cost of living gone up so nothings changed

[@paulbdevine]

Looking for JWT add with the song Breakaway in it?

[@STAGENAME1]

This is a really great compilation of adverts. I was wondering do you have the old Flahavan's (Start the day the Flahavan's way) advert by any chance?

I must buy one of those fly catchers,the guy doing the voiceover really sold the product to me.

[@dermot51]

That smooth sales patter cerrtainly won me over, what was he selling again , ant repellent? , pure class!

[@JohnnyMagorish]

Was that the famous Enda Colleran winning the toyota?

[@sarahlouise7163]

what was that Knorr creamy sauce?! cut off just as we were about to find out! 😆

[@martinwalsh3228]

Any plans to display 1970's or even the 1960's adverts breaks soon.

[@TheSeanm102]

i do remember some of these ads

[@thenodfather]

Twink pre "Zip Up Your Mickey".

[@noelio67]

Does anyone have a link for An Ad containing a paint company with a catchy Jamaican style tune......with a paintbrush at one stage going up and down the tv screen with multiple colours.......maybe it was valspar, Berger or something else

[@Hellwyck]

*2 children count as one adult*... if they've got a trench coat over 'em.

[@dermot51]

That "new kirk fly" stop sounds like an apres match parody, then again all the ads were like this on Arr TE in the 70s/80s , cheap as fuck!

[@casperbubbles]

Cool I remember some of them 👍🏻

[@radioman01]

EEeugh! Clinic shampoo - was like drenching your hair in blue washing-up liquid. And those dreadful dead-pan live-reads over the captions. I think the deal was that the voice-over artists had to be paid extra, if the client wanted the advert to sound interesting.

[@MrTipperX]

I'm thinking 1987.

[@arthurvasey]

5:56 She’s cute!

[@MICKATHEBHOY]

Kaliber 😂

[@bizzjoe]

Was there any actual programmes on at the time, instead of all these fucking adds ?

[@4exgold]

i always get my champagne-tinted, double-sealed insulated glazing from VistaTherm

[@riddim7774]

Came here so I wouldn’t have to look Africans in every ad. 🤭

[@KenFromBeara]

3:58 ad, is that twink and jonathan from bosco??

[@thebigloc1]

Jonathan from Bosch yes, think was not on Bosch but play the game the charades game show on Saturday evening with Derrick Davis God rest his soul. That jumbo ad was around for years as I was only born in 1983 and remember it.

[@thebigloc1]

+Ros Narun *bosco not bosch

[@silvergirl2847]

​@@thebigloc1 yep hewas on Bosco first for his sins.

[@CDash162]

Is that Mrs Doyle. She looks like her.

[@thebigloc1]

I could not stand clinic shampoo always left my hair feeling greasy and hard to brush as a kid.

[@andrewgoodbody2121]

And the smell!!!

[@carolinemccormack7764]

We used it in our house,I can still smell it

[@KenFromBeara]
