Mole Posted 18 February, 2009 Posted 18 February, 2009 Give us some good ones from the past for old times sake.
stthrobber Posted 18 February, 2009 Posted 18 February, 2009 Give us some good ones from the past for old times sake. ****ed myself at the Hamlet advert, that was very very funny. Never seen that before
hamster Posted 18 February, 2009 Posted 18 February, 2009 Fosters ads were brilliant, but the one that I really want to see again seems to have disappeared into the abyss. The one where Paul Hogan speaks to the blokes bait digging on Deal beach. They tell him that they're digging the cahnnel tunnel and he replies that he hopes it goes further than the bridge, camera pans to Deal pier. I laughed every time I saw it. I was born just yards from where it was filmed. If anyone can hunt it down I will buy them a beer. For now though my contribution is:
hamster Posted 18 February, 2009 Posted 18 February, 2009 Just found this one. If you are under 20 years old this is what used to happen at midnight on BBC1. The over 40's, stand up and be proud. Brilliant

Brilliant That reminds me of the Radio 4 UK Theme that was pulled last year because of complaints by the politically correct brigade. I used to tune in specially on my way to work of a morning just to listen to it. Great music.

Listening to that music has made me so angry.
Mole Posted 18 February, 2009 Author Posted 18 February, 2009 This one's American, but it is funny at seeing how times have changed.
hamster Posted 18 February, 2009 Posted 18 February, 2009 (edited) 3 mins 40 in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3rz2Wgdip4&feature=related ..and he used to make them in Eastleigh..

Brilliant thread. Edited 18 February, 2009 by hamster
hamster Posted 18 February, 2009 Posted 18 February, 2009 Best advert ever bar none. Probably illegal to even post that link too.

Brilliant thread. The bakery is still there, but they don't make bread anymore.
Mole Posted 18 February, 2009 Author Posted 18 February, 2009 Wotte could take some tips from this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3WoJOui7Gc&feature=related
hamster Posted 18 February, 2009 Posted 18 February, 2009 Flake and Bounty ads were my introduction to the female form. Mmmm And that cadbury;s Caramel Hare, phwoarrr.
hamster Posted 18 February, 2009 Posted 18 February, 2009 The bakery is still there, b. Are you sure Colin? I think it's a loknstore and car saleroom now.
Mole Posted 18 February, 2009 Author Posted 18 February, 2009 And another classic. hands up who's mums used to dance with the cleaner to it.#-o
Colinjb Posted 18 February, 2009 Posted 18 February, 2009 Are you sure Colin? I think it's a loknstore and car saleroom now. I'm thinking of Toynbee Road, had my first job there. Kiplings is now part of the same group, my bad if I got the wrong end of the stick.
hamster Posted 18 February, 2009 Posted 18 February, 2009 This ones a blast from the past. You are taking back to a very innocent happy time in my childhood with that one.
hamster Posted 18 February, 2009 Posted 18 February, 2009 TRIVIA QUIZ TIME. Who is tis bloke? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqBa7eay6Fo&feature=related No scrolling down.
St Landrew Posted 18 February, 2009 Posted 18 February, 2009 I've been doing a little research of late on a few Saints players. I just have to include this one. He may not have been a Saint when this was done, but we get the message loud and clear: If only we had a manager like Cloughie in his prime too.
Mole Posted 18 February, 2009 Author Posted 18 February, 2009 You don't see these anymore. I used to love em.

Johnny Bognor Posted 19 February, 2009 Posted 19 February, 2009 (edited) Another great Carling Black Label advert Another classic If fact the beer adverts were some of the best around. Which beer had the strapline "If you want great lager, follow the bear...."? ...and you can't forget Edited 19 February, 2009 by Johnny Bognor
JonnyLove Posted 19 February, 2009 Posted 19 February, 2009 Best advert ever bar none. This is the greatest advert ever. Ahh Black Lable now it's just carling
Son of Bob Posted 19 February, 2009 Posted 19 February, 2009 Who could ever forget this one? The inspiration for one of the greatest dance tracks of all time; I'm probably showing my age now!
OLYMPIC Posted 19 February, 2009 Posted 19 February, 2009 Another great Carling Black Label advert Another classic If fact the beer adverts were some of the best around. Which beer had the strapline "If you want great lager, follow the bear...."? ...and you can't forget Hoffmeister used the line follow the bear.
Pancake Posted 19 February, 2009 Posted 19 February, 2009 That reminds me of the Radio 4 UK Theme that was pulled last year because of complaints by the politically correct brigade. I used to tune in specially on my way to work of a morning just to listen to it. Great music. No, they dropped it to extend the new broadcast, but lets not let that get in the way of a good old TSW rant, eh?
Hatch Posted 19 February, 2009 Posted 19 February, 2009 Top Thread. Top top adverts . Don't make 'em like they used to! My personal favourites were this series...Watch it, if you know what's good for you.
Mole Posted 19 February, 2009 Author Posted 19 February, 2009 No, they dropped it to extend the new broadcast, but lets not let that get in the way of a good old TSW rant, eh? Yeah ok of course they did.
Mole Posted 19 February, 2009 Author Posted 19 February, 2009 Horrible beer, and looking at it now a sh1t ad, but in it's day this was a cult advert.
Sheaf Saint Posted 19 February, 2009 Posted 19 February, 2009 This has to be one of the greatest IMO...
Sheaf Saint Posted 19 February, 2009 Posted 19 February, 2009 And here, I've finally found it. I thought I was going mad cos nobody else ever seems to remember it...
Mole Posted 19 February, 2009 Author Posted 19 February, 2009 This advert needs showing again to stop the inconsiderate ****s up my road.
Jillyanne Posted 19 February, 2009 Posted 19 February, 2009 And here, I've finally found it. I thought I was going mad cos nobody else ever seems to remember it... Christ I still remember all the words.
Bath Saint Posted 19 February, 2009 Posted 19 February, 2009 Yeah ok of course they did. Blah blah blah political correctness gone mad blah blah blah so much better in the good old bad old days blah blah blah Explaining the decision, Radio 4 controller Mark Damazer said: "I know there are some people who will regret the passing of the UK Theme, but I believe the bulk of the audience will be better served by a pacy news briefing, read by one of Radio 4's team of news readers."
Mole Posted 19 February, 2009 Author Posted 19 February, 2009 I don't believe the excuse given. Many people enjoyed the UK theme and tuned is specially to listen to it. But as always in this country the minority got their way.
Bath Saint Posted 19 February, 2009 Posted 19 February, 2009 I don't believe the excuse given. Many people enjoyed the UK theme and tuned is specially to listen to it. But as always in this country the minority got their way. How do you know it was a minority. For all you know, most people thought it was crap. Perhaps it was you in the minority.
JohnnyFartPants Posted 19 February, 2009 Posted 19 February, 2009 And another classic. hands up who's mums used to dance with the cleaner to it.#-o Years ago I was working in the RAF and my Sgt was sitting down at his desk and I told him some alternative lyrics along the line of, "Do the shake n vac and pull your pizz flaps back, do the shake and vac and pull your pizz flaps back, cos when your vag is clean, I'll lick your spleen, do the shake and vac and pull your pizz flaps back." It wasn't really that funny, but what was funny was that we had an old woman civilian admin assistant and unbeknown to my Sgt, she was standing right behind him as he really went for it, complete with lewd actions. How I laughed as she looked horrified, which made my Sgt go for it more, thinking I was finding his routine funny.
JohnnyFartPants Posted 19 February, 2009 Posted 19 February, 2009 The whole series. Brilliant. Haven't seen them since when, the 80's?
JohnnyFartPants Posted 19 February, 2009 Posted 19 February, 2009 Another great Carling Black Label advert Another classic If fact the beer adverts were some of the best around. Which beer had the strapline "If you want great lager, follow the bear...."? ...and you can't forget Imagine trying to do a tongue in cheek yet proper British joke advert now at the Germans expense!! It was brilliant though.
Sheaf Saint Posted 19 February, 2009 Posted 19 February, 2009 Brilliant. Haven't seen them since when, the 80's? Nah it wasn't that long ago. Late 90s/early 00s I think.
revolution saint Posted 19 February, 2009 Posted 19 February, 2009 Best advert ever bar none. Absolutely. You've saved me the trouble of finding it, well done.
JohnnyFartPants Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 Nah it wasn't that long ago. Late 90s/early 00s I think. Really? Christ, I must be going senile!! The bouncing bomb Carling ads are 80's aren't they?
hamster Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 Elvis Costellos dad !!!!! Road Safety.................http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDTEexQasFM Correct. Hey, Alvin Stardust was my first ever live concert, Chatham Town Hall.
