Ey, I truly enjoyed this! Some names of the personalities in the ads: Dennis 'Sprangalang' Hall, Paul Keens-Douglas, Errol "Stalk" St Hill, Shirley 'Buelah' King, Alwin 'Kitchener' Roberts and the Kisskidee artiste. Then the companies and products from that time: Telco, BWIA, YoungSing, Dixi Cola. Of course, there's the Najib Elias ad and its classic tune!
