Classic British Adverts from the 1970s Part 1/10

[@Bromley68]

"That shirt is something else" You're not f--king kidding

[@davegalea6689]

wish we had a time machine to go back to the wonderful 1960's and 1970's.

[@kingporter67]

Love the Manikin Cigars ad, this is a very good 1970's British Adverts classics!

I was a member of the Tufty Club as I was born in March 1963. We used to meet as a local club in Havant Hampshire in the early 1970s.

On the buses was part of those golden years of British comedy.

True story: I got into writing advertising because of this stuff. I ended up working in London at the same agency as the two blokes who did the Milk Tray ads in the 80s. Not bad for a kid for from a council house

wasn't that the beauty of the Ad game back then, you just needed ideas and ambition. Good for you

I'm a care worker and there was some lovely old lady I cared for who knew Reg Varney back in the day and she never stopped going on about him and how lovely his parties were ad nauseum....whilst slagging off all the other old people in the care home for "stealing" her favourite pink wafer biscuits.

Shame there isn't a version of this without the Jimmy Saville advert, the rest is pure gold.

YOU are the coward, putting people down when you have no idea what they've been through. By the way. he didn't have a foot in the grave, he was deader than a goddamn doornail when they finally worked him out. Interesting that you hate cowards more than pedos. Says alot about you.

[@russellsims8197]

I used to be milkman for Unigate dairies and one year we had a promotion selling a cheap looking serving tray and our advertising consisted of a leering milkman holding this awful tray with the slogan: 'and all because the lady would love a milk tray.'

[@Mark_Moore60]

😂😂😂

[@fiddleandfart]

Yes....! The great "acetastinmotivatin' Pepsi ads, the cool Cresta ads, the wonderful Martini ads (great musical theme!), and that Manikin advert I haven't seen since the 70s! Actually, what you see here is a revised version. The original (of which I used to have a 35mm print, because I worked with film commercials back then), had a rather heavier graunchy version of this music, without the girl vocal, which I liked better - and, believe it or not, the soundtrack was credited as Manfred Mann!

[@janinefarnell1119]

That squirrel ice cream car crash promo is what you'd get if David Lynch was asked to make a PIF. The Martini jingle is very pretty. I didn't realize they were already doing those big musical production number type ads for stuff like jeans by the '70s. That commercial looks much closer to the '80s. Was it near the end of the decade?

Clunk, click or unzip, plimp.... Ugh remember at the time everyone loved Saville its a shame cause he sounds genuine. Probably why he got away with it for so long. It's easy to hold up our standards to the 70s, the good and bad. My favorite being an American is the unigate adverts. I wish we would make better jingles and more of a basic advert. These days you get adverts/commercials jammed in your face every second of every day. What a simpler time. I have had the Humphreys jingle in my head for 2 weeks now. Lol. I love Britain, the best culture in the world.
