When adverts were worth watching. Now we do everything possible to avoid them.

[@OGDuffy]

So true !

[@rafiqadarr6217]

The Cadbury’s Flake ad and the Milk Tray ad were classic ads, almost with a story-line!! They don’t make ads like that today.

[@OGDuffy]

Very true matey

[@maureenm8462]

Today's ads r very annoying

[@shaz2761]

A couple of those ads could be on TV today and you would never know they were 80s .... Apart from the fact they were actually good!

[@OGDuffy]

Agreed

[@kerryh3833]

And now i understand what my granny meant when she kept saying she wanted a visit from the Milktray man 😅

[@OGDuffy]

🤣 that’s funny 😉🍺

[@NOTODIVERSITY123]

Anyone remember lilt with the totaly tropical taste🎶🎵..or hello tosh got a Toshiba..or nothing sparkles like a babycham🎶🎵

Remember all of those 😉

I always remember, Toshiba: "Your TV, well bless my soul, reflects the light like a goldfish bowl."

Lovely trip back to a fab decade - cheers!

Glad you enjoyed it 😎

Absolute classics all of them, and thanks I will be singing um bongo all night now

I remember these like they where yesterday. Dont forget the adverts for John Smiths beer with the dog and the Lambert and Butler cigarette adverts.

[@OGDuffy]

Happy days

[@jamesgale2147]

Of course the last one, milk tray was the most iconic of all

[@OGDuffy]

Oh yes 😎

[@garyjbaker]

2 you missed spring to my mind... "Will it be mushrooms.. fried onion rings? You'll have to wait and see. Hope it's chips, it's chips! We hope it's chips, it's chips!" And of course.... "Accrington Stanley? Who are they?" :-)

[@OGDuffy]

That McCains chips advert !!! I remember it now ! In the back of a works van ! Thanks for sharing matey 😎

[@AndrewHalliwell]

Only two? Heineken, the water in Majorca doesn't taste quite how it should... Kit Kat with the pandas or the crap pop group Castella classics, Russ Abbott fishing with Des O'Connor records. Hamlet Naw, Luton airport! Holsten Pills with Griff and a variety of black and white film stars including Bogart and Marilyn Monroe... There are dozens better than most in this list (apart from the black label ad)

One of my favourites was the 'Camay' advert ... 'Soft as flowers, tender as Love' - but i can't find it shown anywhere

[@OGDuffy]

Good shout

[@Juliukas101]

Shake N Vac was 1979 and that Mil Tray ad shown was from the 70s and not the 80s.

[@OGDuffy]

They run for a while....

[@Juliukas101]

How about Jif Lemon Day, with gormless woman with a yellow beady necklace and odd little piano jingle? How about Ferrero Rocher?

[@OGDuffy]

So many ads from that era

[@LouiseAshton-zk4gv]

Great ads they all were.

[@OGDuffy]

For sure

[@Babbleplay]

The lack of the Country Life Buttermen in this list makes me a little sad, but, I cannot deny the others are memorable as well.

[@OGDuffy]

Too many from that era

[@Babbleplay]

@@OGDuffy Too true. Almost sad how marketing managed to fill us with such levels of nostalgia for jingles and adverts.

Carling Dambusters advert best advert ever in the history of adverts

[@OGDuffy]

😎

[@lynnbarsby7356]

Agreed

[@user-uc4cq7cw3r]

The woman are so feminine, the 80's 90's so sweet, men clean shaven, kind, caring, real gentlemen. Growing up back then was so much fun everyone go along, people could take a joke and people were not serious it was simple. You didn't need a lot of money to have a good time. Technology has destroyed us socially. Feels like a different world. People are so aggressive nowadays.

[@OGDuffy]

Think you are very true in your statement there.... Happy days.

[@deanbailey67]

You’re SO correct…😢

[@timberwolf5211]

Auntie Beaty with Maureen Lipman, for British Telecom, were funny. Mum's favourite was the one with a pre One Foot in the Grave actor Richard Wilson. Beaty was asking have you got it in this colour or that, what about this size or that? After giving him the run around she asks him if he's got all the colours? A frustrated Richard Wilson says that he's got All the colours in All the sizes! To which Beaty replies with, its not what you call the rage then is it? At which point you see RW in the shop about to beat up a manikin. There were quite a few of them, as well as a fair few Carling Black Label ones too.

[@OGDuffy]

I remember that one matey 😀 A lot more effort went into ads back then I feel.

[@lynnbarsby7356]

Hes got an ology

[@vat6989]

I would have put the dambusters first

[@OGDuffy]

👍

[@user-lk8bz7hg2b]

Is the Dambusters advert with the 'bouncing bomb', the British proving they don't mind being the butt of a joke and can laugh at themselves 😂As I'm guessing that Carling came up with this cracker of an idea, following one of many infamous defeats by Germany in a penalty shoot out during the World Cup. It is superb! 😂

[@mcollins9676]

I got annoyed when an advert came on then had to laugh at my hypocrisy 😄

[@OGDuffy]

That is funny as matey 😆

[@fatles2008]

I'm still doing the shake an vac......can't help it, its ingrained.

If people had KZbin videos in the 80s, they'd be moaning that things were better in the 50s and 60s.

[@OGDuffy]

True that !

[@johnmc3862]

Nostalgia, things were always better when people were younger. They didn’t see all the stress and clutter they see when they are older.

[@oli1181]

They were. People always have, YT or not

[@stickytapenrust6869]

You forgot the Do It All adverts.

[@OGDuffy]

So many ads From that era

[@bigmatt1994]

Ah man i lobed chewits, can you still get them?

[@OGDuffy]

Chewits were great… All Fruitella these days….

[@mgthestrange9098]

[@petermccormick4872]

I am looking to identify an old 80s add .haven't much info but it was popular .it was of some kind of creature sitting at a table and began by saying fred is having some friends over for dinner . I think then he said something about showing some antiques .these.may have been knives and forks .I know there is one like this on smash potatoes with aliens .I'm not sure if this is smash to but it didn't have tin spacemen. I think the name was fred and it said he is entertaining for dinner.more like a meercat or something. I'd guess mid 80s and very popular regards times on

Blimey... Sorry matey... Rings no bells with me im afraid.... Maybe someone else will know 😉

Even the worst 80’s adverts like MFI are infinitely more watchable than the trash that passes for adverts now. The NatWest Tick Tock advert is the worst I’ve ever witnessed.

[@OGDuffy]

Happy memories from those ads right there 😀

[@matskieden511]

There are no descent adverts to talk about nowadays... they are just easily forgettable. Back in the 80s we only had 4 channels so pretty much everyone was watching them and sometimes the ads were better than the TV programmes. Now we have a hundered plus channels on freeview (a lot of those ads cost 10 pence to make). Also very few of us are watching live TV nowadays anyway. We're all watching catch up or subscription TV. The golden age of ads are well and truly over.

[@stevenmoran4060]

Follow the bear! The seventies ads were better.

[@OGDuffy]

Had a Hofmeister the other day

why are today's averts so depressing that you won't stand in a bucket of water with your fingers in the light socket?
