UK ITV Adverts 1976 x 7

[@blastfromthepast8344]

1976 was an INCREDIBLE year. I wish I could go back and live it all again.

[@tootstanner]

Love these ads, remember them like it was yesterday! We were blessed with Quality ads in the 70's!! Thank you revoxy!!

[@moirasinclair1554]

The Smash advert is absolutely hilarious!

[@6xentrix6]

These take me back, oh the oldies lol

[@kpzcbttp]

The Smash one is the best, it always makes me laugh.

[@SuperJ8son]

70s snd 80s best decade's ever.

[@deshave5260]

It's great to see these ads again. Thank you so much for posting this vid.

[@Pizzpott]

The SMASH ads were superb....especially this one. These were the days before we started copying off America, Marathon changed to the ridiculous Snickers and out police sirens were still ours, not the US type that was copied later.

[@martinwebb5588]

Bee Baa, Bee Baa, Bee Baa we would be shouting as we ran around playing cops and robbers, great days. And our adverts were so typically British unlike today when they are so boring and as you say American influenced have you noticed how many American voices are in our adverts today, bleeding loads of them. Also most of our t.v. is American these days, it sure is a sad state of affairs.

[@Pizzpott]

Absolutely right.

[@colinp2238]

The Smash ad where the aliens say "It proves that there is intelligent life in Huddersfield" was the best but I haven't seen iit for forty years now.

[@mrbelcherful]

Ah yes,remember these well,when you looked forward to the adverts!!

[@herbert9241]

Hahaha! I wouldn't go quite that far - but this is an enjoyable trip down memory lane.

[@nm628679c]

ln that case, you definitely don't remember!

[@michaelleacy]

Great stuff - you used to hate sitting through the adverts - but I remember every one of these. I was 6 in 1976

[@andypitchless]

Me too, that Guinness one reminds me of sitting in a pub beer garden watching my mum and her friends drinking and smoking, I can smell it now.

[@BritishComedyUK69]

This was my generation

[@nacholibre1962]

"Nice 'ere, innit?" A classic line if ever there was one!

[@anthonymullen6300]

what no ambulance chasers.... no PPI insurance , back when TV ads more interesting.

[@IanLanc]

So true! I'm sick of shite modern day adverts.

[@TheGodParticle]

Anthony Mullen especially the funeral adverts when they say, 'when your gone' talk about depressing lol

[@IanLanc]

TheGodParticle Such claiming/insurance adverts should be out right banned!

[@crazybunkum]

TheGodParticle yeah - no-one died in the 1970’s 😆 but I remember every one of these !!

[@suzyb4237]

Or Durex adverts or ladies incontinence knickers or creams for thrush and discharge or vaginal dryness or tampon adverts or erectile disfunction or sofa adverts or car insurance or life insurance or distressing adverts for abused animals or third world problems still not sorted since bloody Live Aid with BOB GELDOFF...

[@TUFCGULL2002]

I remember all these! Fantastic!!!

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

I must have plonked in fron the TV for 8 hours a day in the seventies as I can still remember a lot of the adverts very clearly and it's 34 years ago ffs!

[@MondySpartan]

The 70s seemed to be one of the greatest eras, and yet I wasn't even born ;)

[@davegalea6689]

60's and the 70's was the best decade's ever. everything was so much better. wish we had a time machine

[@alanstarkie2001]

1976, the mother of all summers. Scorchio!

[@colinp2238]

Mucho scorchio

[@voodoodolly]

Haha I remember all of those 😃✌🏼

[@WallyPyneoil]

Ben and his beef burgers! Brilliant. I often wonder if he married Mary... And Busby! Back in 1976, only one person in my road was 'on the phone'!

[@wleon4068]

I literally used to howl with laughter at the Smash Robot aliens. ABSOLUTE CLASSIC!!! LOLOLOL!

[@agfagaevart]

Some real UK classics here. Made by big name directors too. Will this summer equal 1976's I wonder.

[@derby1884]

Agree with every word. ITV has never been the same since many of the regional stations merged. Early 90s?

[@Shropshire67]

I guess when you were a kid you could tolerate ads but now I absolutely cannot stand them probably because they have no imagination and are longer than the show you are supposed to be watching thank God for Tivo! watching this is like these were just yesterday though!

[@kevin39632]

Allways loved the Hovis bread adds, and the oxo cube ones

[@lydiamond12]

Why did the mum in the Birds Eye ad serve one child a quality burger and the other a cheaper item? The Birds Eye burger looked like carpet lol! What was that Yorkie guy going to do with that bar of chocolate after his delivery? Looked a bit suspect to me. Love this old ads. Thanks for posting

[@neilpower60]

legend says the smash robots were never meant to laugh, the puppeteers didn't like the producer and did it just to wind them up

[@dawntaylor4210]

I think that's why the adverts work, somebody had a sense of humour lol !!!

[@jonathanhale7445]

Have you seen the gap between the chunks in Yorkie bars nowadays?.....They must be saving a chunk per bar now....

[@lewis72]

+Jonathan Hale Yes, they've gone from 6 to 5 chunks.

[@martinwebb5588]

+ Jonathan Hale That is the same with all chocolate bars they have shrunk, back in the 70s bars were much bigger than today Mars, Marathon (Snickers now), Dairy milk (much thicker chunks and bigger bars), Galaxy, bounty and so on all much bigger than they are today ... we live in a rip off world today.

[@CHIMNEY7]

TheRenaissanceman65 trouble is they shrink the size of the chocolate bars AND put the prices up nowadays,that’s the real ripoff. I too remember that Not The Nine O’clock News doing that with the broken teeth after trying to bite into a Yorkie Bar,hilarious.😂

[@regentv980]

like it,good ad's like the telly at the time

[@noelsatterley2996]

loved Buzby bird. Had a toy one.

[@suzyb4237]

Noel Satterley Bernard cribbens

[@markfletcher760]

Yes that was a young Lorraine Chase in the Campari ad ! Not so sure about the Southern Comfort and lemonade one though ?

[@colinp2238]

I think the SC was Joan Collins.

[@margaretsmart1280]

That was in the "good ole days" before Variant C.J.D. turned up!

[@derby1884]

I remember all of those except the Corona ad. Knocked half a tooth out trying to bite into a Yorkie bar!

[@SuperAce5150]

GREAT ads and not an immigrant in sight! Ads back then were great

[@twenty1forty1]

@brunster64 memories bring back the good old days brill tv nd ads

[@AlanMcB]

Beautiful guinness ad there. Thanks for the upload

[@nikwatt]

1976 was the year I started College!

[@chilled91]

id love to have lived back then lol

[@allister1964]

Great ads, especially 'bens beefburgers' and 'yorkie'.Thanks for posting!

[@skylightstar100]

we had our own lyrics for the yorkie bar lol

[@carltonbreezy]

In the 70's, everybody was northern.

[@unclemort1960]

Living in the south my only knowledge of the north was from Coronation St where everyone lived on tea, best bitter ,pies chips and hotpot.Burgers must have been the breakthrough to a food revolution!

[@carltonbreezy]

unclemort1960 Not forgetting 40 Benson and Hedges per day.

[@buckpartington7161]

God its given me terrible flashbacks i need my therapist

[@unclemort1960]

Buck Partington I can see you on the couch now saying `They peel with their metal knives` followed by a metallic laugh.

[@thefurrybastard1964]

+chud jackson Like Lorraine Chase, Buzby the BT Bird, Leonard Rossiter and that's just off the top of my head. I think if you went back to the 70s, you'd find the most common accents on TV would be Southern.

[@routeman680]

The lovely Lorraine Chase in the Campari ad around 1:50. Apart from being in Worzel Gummidge, I am not sure what she did later.

[@glamdolly30]

Was Lorraine Chase in Worzel Gummidge? Are you confusing her with Una Stubbs, who played Aunt Sally? Lorraine Chase was in 'Emmerdale' for a while and I saw her on a celebrity edition of 'Come Dine With Me' too. Lovely lady - I bumped into her in Brighton once and she fell in love with my little dog!

[@routeman680]

glamdolly20 How nice that you met her. As I said, I wonder what she has done since the 1980s. Yes, Lorraine Chase was in Worzel Gummidge, playing Dolly Clothespeg, a window display model come to life. She only appeared in a few episodes, while Una Stubbs was a regular, also marvellous as Aunt Sally.

[@glamdolly30]

Gosh yes, I had forgotten about Dolly Clothespeg! Well remembered. Thank you, that's brought a smile to my face! What a lovely kids show Worzel Gummidge was, Jon Pertwee was just superb and a great supporting cast. I loved it as a kid 'A cup 'o tea and a slice 'o cake!" Happy days!

[@ianwilliams5866]

Miss Chassvwas in one Worzel episode as Dolly Clothespeg. Una Stubbs was a regular as Aunt Sally

[@ianwilliams5866]

Miss Chase was etc.......

[@twobitloser7353]

When the UK wasn't broken :-(

[@capitol7950]

two bit loser when murder wasn't a daily occurrence

[@danw1374]

Not entirely true, the country was bankrupt, but I get where you're coming from :)

[@amandanutt8163]

Love it !!!

[@PollyJohnsonForever]

at least it wasn't online gambling adverts... plus your the same age as my dad!

[@brunster64]

Much better than adverts now - all about getting a loan, car insurance or life insurance..... yawn.

[@markfletcher760]

No,not the Humber Bridge which came into operation in 1981.

[@mirabellamcgarry8269]

Omg when mash get smash my fav ad of the 70s so far

[@davidattwell2574]

Before my time these commercials 😙😙🤓😁📺🧐🧐🧐

[@mirabellamcgarry8269]

Love birds eye products!

[@phyd]

Remembers the "Don't Kill Buzby" car stickers? Anti-privatisation.

[@peterbrown6434]

Brilliant,right now wheres my Time Machine!!

[@mytightskirt]

Old adverts are more memorable because they tended to run them for years, and years, and years.

[@nobodynothing8206]

What about the ROLO add, is just me or has anyone seen it or forgotten about it. Would have been around the same time ish.

[@littleniyah]

@UncleFeedle we weren't! I was just thinking how much slimmer everyone was. Especially the kids, no horrid blob kids, puffing and spotty.

[@spencerrayong]

ha...when driving a truck was cool...!! great ads...!!

[@colinp2238]

I always thought that the Campari one ended with Lorraine Chase saying Yeah better than Bognor?

[@mrvrandom]

thumbs up if a loan or insurance or PPI ad has just come on television

[@Ophiuchus123456789]

0:49 to 0:50 That part had me in stitches XD.

[@mistofoles]

Interesting - could've done with subtitles on that first ad!

[@pandaKrusher]

I could really go for a cold Guinness right now.

[@colinp2238]

Notice in a bottle and not a can.

[@tomsullivan8284]

The burgers were the cheapest on the market_but they tasted really great better than Heinz etc

[@KartikPatel-nt4ff]

😅😅😅😮well information good show 😅

[@pigknickers]

I remembered them all apart from the Guinness one, which looked hastily stuck together for the drought. Whatever happened to Corona?

[@mirabellamcgarry8269]

Omg the ads look well better than

[@JHollowayNetwork]

actually 1976, not 1978 because 1978 is the late 70s, and 1976 is still the mid 70s.

[@yorkshirelass1976]

These ads must have run and run, I was born in 76 and remember a few of these, especially the Smash one and Busby (who I loved so much that someone made me a toy of him which I kept for years - the ex hubby destroyed it in revenge for me leaving, the tit!). Me mum used to buy me a Yorkie when she wanted some peace, my little teeth would knaw away at it for hours!

[@gaynor1721]

I don't remember the Corona commercial.

[@hitchhiker38]

Ha nice Yorkie ad. I use to drive them Daf 8500, Nice trucks.

[@welshtyrell765]

Lol it's Cadbury smash

[@MissWii85]

The old adverts were definitely much better, we never see food adverts now, think its soon going to be outlawed to even THINK of food, incase we all get obese dontcha know.

[@YourJellyFishAteMyTV]

Luton airport....

[@mysterycatarrhman]

@MattTheSaiyan My guess would be the Humber Bridge.

[@daveghaxton]

1:00 Bernie Cribbins=legend

[@jibjab351]

I miss Corona Pop.

[@itseventuallymekenty]

Where was this shown? Thames? LWT? Southern?

[@StanPomeray]

I used to think the Smash aliens said "boil them for 20 of their minutes, then they smash their bowl to bits". Ok, I didnt say it was FUNNY did I?

[@samverve]

Cadburys.....mash???? Whaaa? Chocolate flavour mash?

[@70sstreetracer]

Police would nick ya now for eating at the wheel waiting at the lights

[@robhingston]

It’s Great alternative to wallpaper paste

[@MikeTeaveeJr]

That second one deserved a Clio. Did it get one?

[@JHollowayNetwork]

1976 (corrected), not 1978.

[@redcardinalist]

Really? What alternate 1970s did you reside in then... :-)

[@mrh112]

ow i dey love dem right northerners in adds dont dey.

[@sniffy6999999]

Lets hear it for bleedin mashed potatoes.

[@davidfoley3510]

A up, jesus tonight their accents are very strong.

[@jrmetmoi]

I can't believe how people preferred to deal with Smash rather than the taste of real mashed potatoes! Oy yay!

[@tiffanycurtis4794]

I Was 5 Y'all 😂😂

[@markfletcher760]

Yes but kids where more respectable back then unlike today's horrible kids.

[@RebelVoDKa]

I think I'm more susceptible to Seventies ads. That Guinness ad of the 90s which won all the awards - the one with a man surfing and horses for waves; "Tic follows tock follows tic" - did nothing for me. Yet the far simpler one here just makes me want to down a pint of the stuff.

[@BigyetiTechnologies]

Northerners eating hoof and eyelid burgers

[@funkg]

not all, some of us had afros (:

[@peterpeterxxo]

wasnt peter sutcliffe aka 'the yorkshire ripper' a truck driver..?? reckon the bloke in the yorkie ad is him with the scary black beard shaved off.

[@TheOperatingModel]

0:25 - now we know why

[@bodienutt1]

Cor 10p for a three minute call in 1976 that's "EXPENSIVE"

[@scipfish]

yes i remember kids fainting at a 5 a side footy tournament in 76 summer...phew what a scorcher..

[@tonightwefly]

now its 40p for 20 mins

[@andypsa10]

You'd think they'd brush the kids hair before filming them eating birds eye horse burgers.

[@markfletcher760]

Meaning ?

[@mistofoles]

"Eeh, yus knor something? Nae fookers cun unnerstand a wud us Yurkies seh!"

[@andydavid8055]

mistofoles remember the old crowd pop ads get ten pence returnable coronation bottle pop man everything brilliant
