Hong Kong 70s & 80s TV Commercials

Hong Kong was such an amazing country back then. I love Hong Kong and will always support Hong Kong no matter what.

@GuitarTee ROBLOX Hong Kong has its own passport its own currency and rule of law and all other uniqueness which makes it as a proper country. Face the fact!

[@vigoruslardass]

ah, such nostalgic feeling. i am reaching out to lovers of old hong kong tv commercials for help. my sister was in a commercial on hong kong tv in 1970 and/or 1971. it was for an airline. probably boac or maybe cathay pacific or another is even possible. she was about 5 years old, had long blonde hair, and ran up to her "mother" in the ad. i apologize for the vagueness of the description but it was a long time ago and i was very young. i do remember how excited we were the first time it aired. and how stupid that excitement seemed after we had seen it hundreds of times. if you know this commercial or have it we would love to see it again. if i could find this piece of video it may make her, and me, happy.

These commercial records are treasures!

I was enjoying some grass jelly for dessert this evening and I ended up searching for a grass jelly drink commercial that I used to see on one of the Asian TV channels back in the 90s when I was a kid. That rabbit hole led me here. This stuff is a bit before my time, but I noted the Japanese and American cigarette commercials. The soundtrack for Mild Seven legit slaps. That tourist board commercial also cracked me up. I imagine many Hong Kongers wish the buffet-destroying tourists from the mainland had better manners.

[@sewaucheekian4737]

Television in Hong Kong at that time was influenced by US, UK, as well as Australian and Japanese TV.

[@wardsellars8805]

I saw these adds at the time living in HK. Good memories.

[@redcorncob]

is anyone able to identify the announcer at 3:18? and to the uploader, do you have any more clips of ATV Diamond from this period? i know it's only a second, but it appears to be an unidentified, extremely enigmatic English dub VA who was active in the Hong Kong film dubbing scene ca. 1966-1972. you can hear his voice all over HK films 1967-1969, mostly dubbing Wang Yu, and he's heard all over dubs of Japanese films during his whole active period. any help would be genuinely appreciated. my friends and I research film dubbing and have ruled out probably a hundred people at this point, basically all we know is he's canadian and was selective with his dubbing roles.

Those were the days when most of the famous commercial merchandises NOT made in China.

[@mcmultiplechoice2931]

And no Internet, no trolls, no one goes "commit suicide" after a 2 second scene, everyone are generally too busy and no free time to think crap, and no one need to worry about making things that can upset some glass hearted people 500000000 miles away because they mostly won't know about it. And one more thing, most people back then appreciated with what they do.

Yep, those 1970's and 1980's Hong Kong TV commercials are very good. Even though Hong Kong was still a British colony at the time.

[@Tiqerboy]

Probably why they are all in English. I couldn't help notice they still had cigarette advertising in the 1980s. In the US, that was banned at the end of 1970. Most people in the US are too young to remember cigarettes advertised on TV.
