Watching these June 2020.. Feeling nostalgic and wishing I was a child again. Born in 80s grew up in 90's. Christmas was the best ❤️

[@moa3645]

Grew up in 2000s. But barely remember these.

[@jimmythedrum446]

Same, we grew up in a prime era, its no wonder we reminisce so much, hate this social media time we're in now!

[@seightanhimself]

@@jimmythedrum446 Social Media has its uses, but sadly it also removes the mystery of things. As kids in the 80s and 90s, we would get all of our info drip-fed through ads like these instead of having it all available at our fingertips 24/7. I miss the simpler times too, chief.

[@starlight954h]

Might just be me, as I was born in 86 so only really experienced the 90s onwards, but i feel like the 90s were just so magical, you cant compete xxx

[@jazzman1626]

Douglas the Lurpak butter man! He was one of our favourite ads, my wife and me. We still have a toast rack with him leaning on it at one end.

[@cherryb6238]

Same!

[@jase6709]

He got on many peoples nerves with that trumpet in the original ads. He was like the 'Go Compare' man of that era... Hence why he played his trumpet so quick in the Christmas ad. 🤣

[@jazzman1626]

Jase 87 His trombone wasn’t quite as bad as the “Go Compare” ads, I liked it. He was funny when he kicked a strawberry on the table and limped a bit. Wifey and me were on the Isle of Skye that year and saw a sign for strawberries and we both said “oh look, Kick your own strawberries!” at the same time. Luckily, we were in the car and not on a bus or people would have knew/thought we were mad lol.

[@jase6709]

@@jazzman1626 I meant to say trombone 👀 It wasn't as annoying as Go Compare, but it was played twice as much. I don't really remember the ads in detail as I was a kid, but I remember hearing my mum every time it came on.... "That flaming advert AGAIN!!!!" 🤣

[@Jerrymouse79]

@@jazzman1626 I loved the one where he started playing his jingle then they put a glass over him. The ting ting of the glass from his trombone as he slowly stopped playing was so funny to me. I miss Douglas in lurpak ads.

[@hannahtaheri5543]

I remember most of these adverts! The care, the cheesiness put into these back then.... I miss my childhood! Adverts thesedays are nowhere great as these ones. Thank you for this!

[@harry5436]

Same. I was born in 87 and the 90s remains the best decade of my life to this day, in part because of how much better TV and other forms of media were back then.

[@Spitfiregirl01]

I was born in 95 but watching old Christmas adverts takes me back where my most of my family was here it’s never the same 😢

[@dominichazell7862]

I actually miss the slightly plummy British accent that you hear on these ads.

[@ossiemac]

Now it's all about shouting as loud as possible.

[@Brownsocksflirt]

That’s what my late love sounded like, he was born in 1974 so I suppose the plummy accent was lost later on?

[@dominichazell7862]

its called shrinkflation where the product gets smaller but price is more or stays the same, Walkers crisps are now saying that some of their crisp products are less than 100 calories, and that's because due to shrinkflation there are only 10 crisps in a bag.

[@DarkLordDiablos]

I remember the Metrocentre when it was like that, when it was a shopping centre that had alot more different stores than it does now not to mention Metroland. So great to see to see how it used to look, especially at Christmas. The decorations are nice now but not a patch on what they where like then. Sigh of the times and changing styles. Thank you for the memories.

@@stephenrochester6309 Cellnet was a joint venture owned by BT and Securicor (Group 4 Security). BT bought out Securicor and rebranded as "BT Cellnet" around 1996. The company was later rebranded to O2 around 2002. O2 was sold by BT to Telefónica around 2006. In other news, EE was formed when Orange and T-Mobile merged. BT later bought EE, which left only 4 mobile networks in the UK. O2 and Three attempted to merge in 2016, but this was blocked by the Competition Authority as it was deemed that the O2/Three merger would stifle market competition and consumers would suffer...

As much as we all reminisce about these being the good old days, so pure and ... it was. I mean, companies using part of their ad to thank their customers. Dont get that these days. But it's easy to forget, this was the start of it all. The consumerism shit show we now see. The 90s marketing and promo people laid the foundations for the greed we see today.

John Lewis who put too much money into adverts should look at these and realise the simplest advert can make you feel nostalgic at Christmas. More than anything that's out now.

[@97channel]

Watching the Cellnet advert, it's kinda weird to think that mobile phones were a thing as early as 1990. I remember them existing, I remember them being desirable. But the price of both the unit and then the tariff was just way out of the league of affordability for the average person or family. It was all about the Yuppies and the business person. Joe Bloggs and Jane Doe weren't marketed at, just look at the type of person they were aiming for in this particular advert. Compare the mobile phone scene of 1990 to that of today. It's certainly been one of the biggest communication booms in history. Not owning a mobile now is like not having running water, it's almost unthinkable. And look at where the costs are, you can pick up basic handsets for a tenner and get unlimited calls for £1.50p a week. If prices were like that in 1990, I know where my pocket money would have immediately gone. Crazy stuff, how affordable it has become. Kids of today will never know.
