Classic British Adverts from the 1950s and 1960s Part 2/2

[@kingporter67]

Love the Fore after shave and the Pepsi British ads, great 1950's and 1960's British Adverts classics!!

[@deewaters8994]

Gay Slant, phallic Flakes and Big Fry who became James Bond, what a time we had and our girdles were great too lol.

[@CuppaTeaandaSliceoCake]

Wonderful memories ...

[@annfoxgold1886]

Unfortunately, I actually remember these ads. Yes, I'm old.

[@SuperDancingdevil]

Good grief George Best standing and upright, That was a novelty in those days.

[@drsyn9616]

Before he started drinking aftershave

[@annoldham3018]

😂

[@Aquaseventytree]

I just love these uploads.

[@keithnaylor1981]

Great selection. I was very naive in those days - I used to think the Cadbury Flake ad was about a bar of chocolate!

[@davids8449]

Silly chap it's about a naughty swan.

[@stingray4real]

LOL at Warren Mitchell fish finger ad.

[@phaedracollins6051]

Wonderful memories of flickery grainy tiny screens (had to sit at least 6 feet away because of the X rays would cook your brains).

[@mountainmantararua8824]

That car on the beach would have been ruined by the salt water. Who would take an expensive car like that through the tide ??

[@Channel-os4uk]

Yep, that salt won't do the E Type any harm at all...

[@djrichylaurence8991]

Mrs Flash would be mugged and robbed these days.

[@davids8449]

What would they do with all those mops 😁

[@vingotaq777]

Sandie Shaw @ 4:30 , lovely and dark haired ❤️

[@bobbbxxx]

3:50 That made me laugh!

[@stevefraser9249]

Is that Judi Dench voicing the Wood Nymph ad?

[@glynevans-hughes2617]

Ah Nicholas Parsons wearing toilet block holders on his ears. Rather fitting eh.

[@narcos3082]

0:43 mrs flash lmao

[@gilessteve]

Mr Flash was a lucky man.

[@luisreyes1963]

She's Mr. Clean's British cousin.

[@jamessmethurst3537]

Hello . I met Mr. Flash in the park. ..

[@williamsterben]

My girdle's killing me!

[@arbutus27]

One minute Geo Lazenby is Big Fry - and he gets the 007 gig. Blimey.

[@Mrs.Beezley]

what about that heavy cream on the All Bran.....hilarious. LOVE these commercials. Thank you for the upload!

[@annmitchell4663]

Kelly Coval It was milk not cream.

[@Mrs.Beezley]

Looks like cream to me

[@OofusTwillip]

It certainly wasn't skim milk.

[@AJBeetle1]

It looked like pva glue lol

[@glpilpi6209]

George Lazenby doing the Big Fry advert before starring in On Her Majestys Secret Service as James Bond in 1969.

[@garethbramley1]

National Benzole - one of the best and a great piece of music (Frank Cordell / John Mayer). The music on the 'Fore' ad sounds like part of a pop tune by (someone like) Manfred Mann. I'm still trying to ascertain who composed that gorgeous Flake theme heard here. Sunsilk - John Barry gorgeous theme with John Carson doing the voiceover - another great mix of music and commercial. Dusty is superb as always. Another great 'Come Alive - You're in the Pepsi Generation' ad. Not seen this one before - sounds like Lulu - can anybody confirm please? The less said about Lazenby, the better. It's a nice ad but if he hadn't have done this he wouldn't have been James Bond (great!). Great compilation - thanks.

[@johnhardman3]

Find the tuneful "Happy Days" "Super National ' ad. from ca. 1961/62, sung by Elton Hayes ("there's never,never,never, nothing at all like super, Super National"). Another good one from '64/'65 was the Hoover ad. using the tune of a U.S. Army march: " all the dirt, all the grit, Hoover gets at every bit, Hoover beats as it sweeps as it cleans (etc.)"

[@johnhardman3]

Carson's voice was a James Mason rip-off: he was a t.v. heartthrob back then. Did any episodes of "Emergency(,) Ward 10" not get wiped?

[@garethbramley1]

@@johnhardman3 Thanks. Just found it and played it. Plucky guitar and some whistling. Not bad at all but I prefer the 'beach' ad - a great blend of music and film.

[@gilessteve]

_'gay Slant' step-ins_ _designed for action_ The mind boggles! lol

[@Stephie2007]

7:57"Fish fingers!" Me: What's wrong with that? *is a whovian*

[@donroberts2126]

Ah, but she forgot the custard!

[@alansmith1989]

I was hoping the ad for the debut of `Sparky` comic in January 1965 might exist. DC Thomsons paid for at least six screenings. Does anyone know if any exist?

[@donroberts2126]

Calling all Top Gear fans: Doesn't the 'Flashmobile' look like the Hammerhead Eagle iThrust

[@davids8449]

Unfortunately or fortunately I also remember the ads. The world in 2021 is one I do not recognize. With a prime minister having an illegitimate child and living in number 10 with a mistress says it all

[@annmitchell4663]

Oh loved Sandy Shaw...didnt know she used Lux though..lol

[@nicholasroberts6954]

Bloody electioneering detergents ! What ? No Castella ads ? No Heinz ads ? No Guards ciggies ? What region were you living in ? Ah the 1960s, . . . Celulite and the by mouth consumption of chocolate phalli were ideas that dare not mention their names and the option of being seen by a doctor from another planet was just a twinkle in a Conservative Health Minister's eye . . and no extras to pay . . . except in this film.

[@julie5668]

We used to add an extra verse to the Trebor Mints are a minty bit stronger - I am sure many others will remember the rather rude added verse!

[@davids8449]

5:09 They are in No 10 ......I should not be disrespectful about seed pods

[@DrumToTheBassWoop]

0:54 Flash has been around that long. 😳

[@deewaters8994]

Me too.

[@annmitchell4663]

Dee Waters Una Stubbs..now Mrs Hudson in Sherlock..lol

[@intelscotland5946]

What has these brands come to now: All-Bran: No change Flash: No change Berlei: No change Big Fry: Well, the brand is not Big Fry, it's Fry's. National: Phased out by BP. Wood Nymph: IDK. London Life: IDK. Lux: No change Sunday Mirror: No change Sarongster: IDK, but it is no longer available. Fore: I'm gonna stop there for another time.

[@evanstj5]

All Bran. It helps you go to the toilet without straining and laxatives. I mean ... let's spell it out ...

[@joannegray5138]

Who found themselves singing the traditional schoolkids refrain about where to stick a Trebor mint to make it last a bit longer?

[@arbutus27]

Couldn't the Flash mob have waited for a sunny day to do their filming?

[@fredneecher1746]

That Flake advert wasn't suggestive at all. Couldn't help noticing how the word "creamy" towards the end seemed to have extra meaning.

[@davids8449]

All in your mind all chap

[@wolflupus788]

If you flash you can have £10, plus 2,free mops,

[@samcostello2566]

Whys she pouring cream on the all bran 😕

[@AuntyM66]

Gay slant LOL, it means something different now.

[@meghunt1894]

Why was £10 a lot of money back then 😂

[@annmitchell4663]

Because ppl didnt earn as much back then..the cost if living was different,its all relative.

[@OofusTwillip]

Because it was the old pre-decimal money. Google "pre-decimal money Britain" for an explanation of this complicated system.

[@elliotdavies8815]

£10 in 1965 would be nearly £200 these days so yeah it wasn't too bad lol

[@glpilpi6209]

Because inflation had not eroded the currency.

[@aprilblossom9268]

Because for instance a sliced loaf was 1 shilling and weightless and my Mother's weekly wage was £10 !!!

[@mrg2459]

When food was good now it's chemically made

[@connorellis34]

Mr G actually vastly incorrect, foods are much more a higher standard in the UK now. Especially after the recentish boom in ‘british’ ‘organic’ etc food.

[@DrumToTheBassWoop]

@@connorellis34 yeah, the European Union helped in pushing the standards up too.

[@ghostahedits5987]

4:07

[@Boys-AllTheStuffAndMore]

I would love 2 pounds and a free sp- oh, look, a dead body. And a beaten up and down sponge mop. Mrs Flash is dead. Very great, ha ha ha. 2 modern pounds? I’m skint. I hate Flash. They hire dead people? Mum, why is there a questionable Flash price scene? I’m buying a new home.

[@Channel-os4uk]

All Bran helps you crep more easily..

[@agfagaevart]

it doesn't keep you regular anymore, coz they've messed with it, like most of our food! gay slant! um...I'll keep quite about that one.

[@dezmondwhitney1208]

Agreed. Ps., I used Agfa b&w, colour and Slide emulsions on 35mm and medium format. The photographs had their own Agfa quality which I liked. I used Agfa often. 1970s and 1980s.

[@hedgemist691]

I eat the Tesco version. Much cheaper and just as effective.

[@keithwaites9991]

Big Fry man became big crap James Bond

[@johnhardman3]

Given time, he might have learned to act. Despite his shortcomings, "O.H.M.S.S." was quite good, avoiding much of the runaway idiocy of the Bonds that followed it: it also contains Diana Rigg at her best-looking, before age so sadly withered her.

[@keithwaites9991]

'gay slant step-ins' ??? Sounds like something certain gentlemen would wear along with chaps and leather jackets etc

[@OofusTwillip]

"I'm a happy knocker-upper" sounds rather suspect too. In the days before everyone had a clock, workers would pay a "knocker-upper" to knock on their door to get them up in time for work each day.

[@johnhardman3]

@@OofusTwillip Believe it or not, they still existed in the '50s,using a long pole to knock on bedroom-windows: in extremis, if that didn't work, there was the football-fan's rattle which would make enough noise to wake the whole street. I kid you not: some people wouldn't or couldn't invest in an alarm-clock ,hardly an expensive novelty even back then (so way back, now).
