so much more festive than todays adds

[@jameshardy6277]

I'm still using one of those old Nokias. Still not had to charge it yet. :)

[@davidtomlinson6138]

The size of them Q st tins 😲🎄🎅

[@phillipwilloughby5013]

I remember Quality Street used to come in 1 kilogram and 2.2 kilogram tins at Christmas. Now we get 0.65 kilogram plastic tubs.

[@rtsharlotte]

Back when Quality Streets came in a big tin

[@jenniedarling3710]

T. V. guide "with video plus number" anyone else old enough to remember when you had to put a blank tape into the video to record of the telly?

[@twinklestar29]

And the frustration of getting it all wrong & recording something completely different 😂😂

[@ifaiful]

Yes

[@stevenkampf4067]

didnt the video plus number mean the adverts was cut out of the recording?

[@jamesstacey4950]

Love watching, only 35yrs old but these Make me feel a lot older !! Can't believe those tesco adverts are 21yrs old & I didn't know they started open 24hrs in the 90s!

[@aliciadougal5760]

Makes me wana be a kid again 😭

[@GuessMyName234]

My thoughts exactly I'm only 31 but feeling ancient!

[@paulmahoney3110]

I agree

[@jsl4228]

Yep, I feel the same way. I miss the simplicity of being a kid.

[@davidbowie2046]

Boots electricals were really good. I had one of their own brand walkmans that lasted years and it was made in japan so probably just a re-branded Sony or Aiwa :)

[@normix]

0:53 Look how big the Quality Street tins used to be.

[@GuessMyName234]

And they are plastic now & they were probably alot cheaper back then

[@Spitfiregirl01]

My Nan used them tins for my colouring pencils when I used to go round at weekends miss my Nan everyday

[@frankbrown4780]

@@Spitfiregirl01 I think everyone's Nan used them for something! I think mine used them for jigsaw pieces.

[@buidseach]

That's because there about half the price they used to be.

[@dominichazell7862]

Yeh, nice 1kg tins. Now they’re what, 650g little plastic tubs? And the sweets inside have shrunk. All a rip off these days.

[@CNash85]

Here we see the start of the mobile phone revolution... from chunky Vodafone handsets right up to the classic Nokia 5110 with switchable covers. Also note the WH Smith ad placing a copy of Super Mario Bros 3 on top of a Sega Mega Drive... Finally, that M&Ms ad is still being played to this day, albeit with the current American voice actors instead of overdubbed British voices (also heard in the very American Coca-Cola ad).

[@marclaw4511]

A time when luxuries were enjoyed.Now available all year so nothing to look forward to.

[@OGSilverfox8]

yep !

[@SAMwise-ps6zo]

apparently the paul young cover of 'make someone happy' was sold on cd in boots stores, i really like it, fits the warm cosy feeling of the season very well

[@guineapigsrule100]

I was thinking one of the adverts looked super modern and then I realised it was the KZbin add for a ring doorbell lol

[@raedavis1697]

These bring back some good memories.

[@Kaspleen]

Thank you for all of these videos, it must have taken a lot of time to sort them out.

[@graham2sexy955]

The price of supermarket alcohol has not increased surprisingly .

[@colinp2238]

Back then it wasn't so commonplace because people still used pubs.

[@graham2sexy955]

@@Malfoy1594 well obviously but you dont understand the point being made . certain products are always around the same price though whether you factor inflation into it or not . Automobiles, computers , electronics and furniture are roughly the same price for a similar model whatever year it is ( within the last 30 years ) For instance in the 90s 386 PCs were upto a thousand pounds . 2019 a thousand pound still gets you a personal computer My point is some products have massively been affected by inflation. Eg chocolate bars , crisps and other confectionery what are now x5 times more expensive . Whilst some are still around the same price give or take a few percent difference ( macdonalds happy meals , supermarket alcohol etc etc ) So if your inflation theory is correct why haven't these been inflated 10 times for equivalent products ???

[@wispartan]

@@graham2sexy955 freddos.

[@chrisd530]

Some of these aired in the US as well, just dubbed over. Cool to see them with english accents. Coke commercials, m&ms, diamonds, gap.

[@dalebonam5170]

Wow I'd forgotten the 90s brings back childhood memories..

[@victoriaharbach5968]

90s xmas adverts are good and marry chrismas neil and ail you tubers

[@annalisestorey5146]

Sorry but is that Yosser Hughes advertising Vodafone

[@samwilson417]

With these videos I'm finally seeing how tight my parents were back in the day

[@Panzerbeast]

Or maybe credit wasn't plentiful like it is today and they lived within their means?

[@Goodbyeeveryonehere]

rather disrespectful even if it's a joke

[@Bruce1983]

Well the inflation into account paying £9 for 12 becks would be like paying £22 in 2023. I got a sega Saturn about 94/95 in todays money the price is over £800 that’s more than a PS5 which is probably why every computer I got at Christmas the 3-4 games I got with it is the only games I would get all year till I got the newest console next Christmas

[@enzobevilacqua3659]

I miss those days so much😢

[@sirmugman]

my era of christmas might not know them all but i'm a 90's kid so i might know a few,

[@twinny555]

Oh my god the mercury button 😂😂😂

[@thegrimmretails3777]

Never saw the MnM commercial with British voice actors before.

[@HeyLaserLips]

Ahh, the good old Nokia 5110... That was the first phone I got when Pay-As-You-Go was pretty much a new concept and finally having a mobile phone was affordable.

[@lyndseyaloui354]

Take me back yo the 90s

[@emilygilbeyful]

The prices really surprise me. Meat is so cheap but everything else was sooooo expensive £14.99 for an old Disney video cinderella. Not a new one like say Aladin. Even now I wouldn't pay more than £10 for a brand new movie!

[@kevinericsongs]

videos were expensive back then-I remember star wars was £90.00 when it came out!

[@barrelrolldog]

I thought the same, some things were much more expensive back then. but they had more value too. buying new videos was really exciting.

[@Spitfiregirl01]

4:01 what an Earth happened to them?! I miss being young these adverts are way much better than today’s

[@danwoodvine5900]

Takes me back

[@cplpower79]

The size of that Quality Street tin!!

[@TH33QUALIZ3R]

4:19 Those first few notes and I was like "I'm sure this was an advert for diamonds...". That's the power of a good advert if it can do that 26 years later. 9:58 Don't think anyone could forget that jingle/ringtone. When Nokia pretty much ruled the world. :( And other than the last one, I don't remember a single one of the others.

[@pod9538]

Claus Von Stauffenberg totally agree colonel✋🙋

[@rebeccaatlanta1185]

I miss the 90s

[@colinp2238]

At the time when Tesco used to care about the customers, not like today.

[@ifaiful]

Nor thier workers today. One complaint and your kicked out the door at Tesco’s.

Basil The Great Mouse Detective - criminally underrated classic.

Dont remember many of these as I was smashed out of my head on exctasy

[@thorpe8138]

Oh the nostalgia

[@Panzerbeast]

Wonder if the Tesco lady is still about.

[@LeojoyHains]

Yes she still alive but got dementia

Can You Do Anymore Christmas Advert Breaks Please.

[@kane211]

My god am old 😂

[@Goodbyeeveryonehere]

The Gap advert. so there actually was an advert as crap as the 2019 M&S jumper advert then. Shows how memorable it wasn't, I couldn't work out what it was for until i saw the shop name. warm and fuzzy is the way to go.

[@barrelrolldog]

that made me want to smash the screen.

[@thethirteenthdoctor1716]

7:58 what the fuck did I just watch?

[@sirmugman]

good gods mini bricks! i mean phones! yep no phone, no texts and no games just phone and i think a filafax for keeping notes on when to ring someone, oh and the selling point PULL UP ARIL! O.O THERE WAS ANOTHER ADVERT?! WITH COKE IN!?! as that's clearly the same kid from the famous played at christmas advert also REAL COKE BOTTLES NOT CRAP LIL ONES OR OVER PRICED ONES! boot had a catalog?! welp there's another thing to add to the ebay list! also sonic stuff, man i wish i'd kept my sonic cassette tape holder, aw the m&m adverts another classic that is still on the air but i think usa only might be uk but they only it once, the coke a cola bears!! i'd forgotten about these guys! yeah you offer me a coke and i'd jump in freezing cold water but i'd be shouting "pure or is it zero/diet? cus if it that i'm staying here" when phones had re-movables cases =") better times,
