1997 RTE adverts

TV adverts from RTÉ 1 aired during the movie Die Hard with a Vengeance.

The fucking Coca-Cola commercial has been living in my head rent free for decades.

No memory of any of these ads, must have been before my time!

A great trip down memory lane. A few bizarre ads like, the Cornetto and Budweiser - makes you wonder how they got through the pitch meeting. Jaffa cakes, immac, tayto and speakeasy thrown into the mix. The Dorito ad which seemed to involve an assault on a teacher at a graduation - wouldn't pass public censorship, by today's standards. Overall, I really enjoyed this look back at this collection of ads.

The student probably received their certificate from a hated bullying teacher and wanted revenge on him but bided his time until he could get his leaving cert then assaulted him as they can't take the certificate away after it has been received.

This is from 1998, the IMAX cinema in Dublin opened in May of that year.

[@EileanoirDaly]

Holy shit, Gerard Butler was in a Guinness ad? Well so was Fasabender, guess it's a step to Hollywood from Ireland.

Never Drink and Drive! It's always too late to say sorry! *Light switches off*

[@MarkGenner-xz4zu]

What advert is this at 1:32?

[@marcustrelle4898]

Where is the midweek movie with the Pulp Fiction Parody?

[@Qualimar]

Always weird to see ads you'd forgotten completely that suddenly come flooding back - in this case the Coke, Bulmers and Listerine ones. Mint Wispas also slipped my mind.

Hi James, Sabrina here. Nice video. Thanks

[@chrislacey8776]

Bulmers ad - This used to be 10 pound now it's 12 euros! Unusual. Didn't even know the Euro was in the Pipeworks in 1997.

[@stgodards]

I know, nuts isn't it? They introduced the Euro as an idea in the Maastricht Treaty in 1992 but it took years to implement. Red tape, eh?
