[@billyshearer117]

What a year. Fruit Corners and Sprite. Truly the world would never be the same.

[@chefstarr33]

God that trumpet on the castrol gtx took me back to my childhood !!

[@jh2419]

I loved working at TVS.

[@andthentherewasail394]

"It's safe to leave the kids to watch this darling, it's only Rolf on the TV."

[@Jamie_Dodger]

Announcer - On Thursdays join in with Rolf's cartoon club! Me - Nah you're alright.

[@tintobrass532]

Lol nice one mate

[@user-dp6cw9po5k]

Sorry, I'd Rather watch Tugs than That.

[@lellytalks4296]

The Midland advert- "A new type of account for a new type of customer" i.e. an absolute knob.

[@SMAXZO]

@@octaviussludberry9016 Why would he? The bank's gonna fuck the knob anyways.

[@dr.t.]

The castrol GTX ad is amazing and took me right back to when the 80's were fantastic 😎😎😎😎😎

[@yonezawa2810]

Uh oh.... rolf harris

[@rmlectronicsuk2410]

Yone Zawa nothing wrong with Rolf. Brilliant artist!

[@dpw81]

@@rmlectronicsuk2410 I hear Jimmy Savile was handy with a paintbrush too...

[@bobsmodelrailways]

Hoksworth Wipple Excellent artist.

[@bobsmodelrailways]

Hoksworth Wipple I don’t know that but he was a good artist.

[@joannietrotter2344]

It was strange how Harris and others were ousted by the BBC etc but Savile & the rest of the real nonces were protected and hidden in plain sight at the BBC. John Lydon spoke about it in the 70’s and he reckons there are a lot still there so I don’t read too much into the Harris accusations, same as Jim Davidson and others because I reckon they were used as a smokescreen so Savile & the rest could carry on noncing.

[@annabelleshortshort1126]

In 1986-1989 I was aged 7/8 and 10/11, I'm now in my early 40s. It's amazing to see the different in the ads then and For example now you don't as many ads for alcoholic beverages unless watching add for budget supermarkets. Also there quite a few ads for banks /Building Societies now these are either much less or not as many. The mid-late 80s was the dawn o healthy eating so the likes fruit an fibre bran flakes and common sense Oatbran flakes for breakfast cereal or Gold, Vitalite, Blue Band and Flora for margarine in in era where spreadable butters had not yet arrived admittedly these would have been very much a middle class thing. I was brought up on semi-skimmed milk and Flora so we simply didn't eat tinned meat or drink limeade cherryade or orangeade because the artificial colourings.

[@storyiseverything2219]

Nothing shows the sign of the times like the adverts. I remember some of these.

[@brickbat246]

Arguably THE advert of 1989 has to be that Sprite one

[@CNash85]

Real lemon and lime!!!!

[@doyoulikebeetroot]

F**k me this was 29 years ago! Some of these I havnt seen in all that time yet I remember so well I'm not sure I wanted some of the emotions and memories some of these ads brought back 🤔🙁🤐

[@danmcdaid]

Two showings for Julia Deakin from Spaced/I'm Alan Partridge here, one in the Madame Tussaud's ad, then again in the Orchard Midlands Bank ad.

[@thomasgreaves5334]

OMG! Fern Britton, awesome!

[@andydavis7254]

Dave Quinnan from The Bill 😂

[@LAnonHubbard]

0:55 "The walls of Birmingham wiped clean of pea and ham" I remember this so well and have been (sadly) longing to find out what advert it came from.

[@Summer21.]

LAnonHubbard I do remember that Dulux paint advert back in 1989 when I was between the age of 6/7 as I was born almost in the middle of the year. 😃

[@LAnonHubbard]

@@Summer21. Cool that someone else remembers it. In 1989 I was 19 but didn't thinking back I would've thought I experienced the advert when I was 16ish. Perhaps it was broadcast for a couple of years?

[@thefog7067]

I remember this delux ad very well almost word for word

[@billyshearer117]

That Hula Hoops ad! 🤯

[@andydavis7254]

Trying to figure out who the singer was. Was it Cab Calloway.

[@gwasgray9309]

1:26 That's Julia Deakin (Marsha from Spaced and Jill from I'm Alan Partridge)

[@1978rharris]

Gwasgray *wine cork pops Yaaaaay

[@billyshearer117]

I think it is her at 13:00 too

[@1978rharris]

Billy Shearer it is, well spotted. And the funny thing is, like Marsha, she’s having words with her daughter who’s legging it down stairs!! 😂😂

[@MQsCues]

Missing at 0:49: "May the doors of Wales dry hard as nails, The loos of Looe be smooth and fine. May Derby's halls dry even..."

[@TheImatube]

Brilliant loved all this, Thank you

[@TelexToTexel]

Hula Hoops commercial, you wouldn't get away with that today

[@MrWings11]

You can't get away with FA today.

[@TelexToTexel]

@@MrWings11 exactly, just ask Rolf Harris

[@UnitedRoad1987]

That young girl on the " Maddam Tussauds " advert plays Phil Collins and Julie Walters Daughter in Buster

[@TH33QUALIZ3R]

Ellie Beaven

[@clarec4299]

I remember her from the BBC 1 kids show The Wild House in the mid/late 90's too! Used to love that show 😊

[@storm3698]

30 years ago

[@luke_miint]

Find it funny how everyone in these adverts drives a Sierra.

[@richardthornton77]

star trek and james bond movies in the same day nice

[@michaelpout2208]

lol Alexander meerkats first TV appearance 22:55

[@user-ug1yq6zt5t]

Thank you!!

[@dgirllamius____x]

FLAT HEAD FISHER!

[@luke_miint]

The Paula Abdul song on the NOW 14 advert is Straight Up. Yes I didn’t know that, moving on.

[@delthorpe223]

1:22, I think that's Marsha from Spaced.

[@danmcdaid]

Julia Deakin, it is indeed. And she turns up again later in the Orchard ad.

[@AlisonBryen]

Rolf Harris's Cartoon Club smacks differently these days.

[@gavinofarrell2337]

Is there anything more 80's than a Benetton adverts, all style over substance!

[@seeingthesights2246]

They were on the forefront of "woke" advertising. Now most ads feel like that, sadly.

[@bens1972]

I don't really think you know what the definition of Woke means. Maybe you should just stop hiding behind the definition you think it means and let us know what you really mean

[@billyshearer117]

The Cathay Pacific advert at the end is so sinister!

[@stephenkissane4268]

The pic of star trek the motion picture has the wrong ship

[@MrIrrepressible]

That bandq advert was good

[@ronaldcustard4636]

The actor at 5:38 is currently on UK Drama as the curate on Classic EastEnders

[@thefog7067]

He was in also Red Dwarf and various other sitcoms. His bank Boss in the ads was Gary Waldhorn aka David Horton in the Vicar of Dibley

[@billyshearer117]

Fruit Corners turned the yogurt world on its head.

[@stavsounds]

I have the sealife centre ad music on a record. Cool!

[@noka1979]

I was 10 in 89

[@thefog7067]

0:39 😂 ❤

[@benwesley1899]

Isn't he from The Bill, the young bloke in the Danish Bacon ad?

[@bluethunder6801]

Yes

[@andydavis7254]

Andrew Paul who played Dave Quinnan

[@graham2sexy955]

Tony stamp

[@lawrancecooper]

Wish I was able to go back into time and reveal what Rolf Harris really is!

[@k20aa]

The Nike air advert they where the days

[@flipperth1]

Who’s here on Easter Monday 2024? 😂

[@museonfilm8919]

I find the Coco Pops advert as annoying now, as I did when I was 14!!

[@thefaithfulphoenix227]

11.15 - Nick Berry

[@markrichards636]

No

[@WifeMamaArtist]

OMG, how shit is the Nike Air advert?

[@timgoodwin4424]

17:57 I thought the new romantics died out 5 years before this ad break

[@standenberg]

Yeah it is more of a Goth look. I was 15 in 1989 and loads of 'posh' girls in my year at school looked similar. They were into bands like The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees & The Sisters of Mercy. I secretly fancied them but my mates preferred the 'Bros-ette' types..lol

[@doyoulikebeetroot]

standenberg Shame you had to hide it Goth girls when I was in my late teens was a big part of the reason I went out on Fri night Wild as hell some of them 😋

[@ellieoroarty4246]

P.S. who is the girl in the Midland Bank advert?

[@kengeorgejones6855]

That Daily Mirror ad is creepy. The Cathay Pacific ad is dated by that man's terrible mullet. Clearly at Cathay it's always a party in the back. Fern Britton looks very different.

[@andydavis7254]

Rolf Harris. If only they knew back then.
