Favourite tv advert as a kid

mondeo · 16-04-2011 4:22pm #1

I love this advert. I use to sing with it when I saw it on tv in the late 80's.
It was rerun again in the early to mid 90's as most of you probably know.

Post your adds!

I was reading the youtube comments and they're saying it's racist?? Just a kid with some crows. Well when I watched that in the early 90's I probably didn't even know what racism was

Horny bears too following her into the shower. An oversight on my behalf as a kid.

Fab comment on YouTube about that ad

Anyone else think Alan Hughes is looking at the Blue Oyster gay bar on his way home?? (the one with the blue flashing light??)

I knew it wasn't long until Santy came when I saw this on tv

I can't tell if it's the power of advertising or the power of nostalgia that makes all these things so memorable now

Superbus · 16-04-2011 10:16pm

Early 2000s was clearly a golden age for blatantly ripped-off confectionary jingles.

I thought so too. I thought he was put into bed by his wife and given the Lemsip, but that could have been a different ad with the same characters.

This must be where they got Zonad from.

Does anyone remember that Guinness ad where a whole load of stacked boxes fall at the end? It was around '86 or '87. Me and my brother used to copy it by piling up everything available in our room and knocking it all down while shouting "Guinneeeeeeeeeeess".

I grew up in the UK, so I'm not sure if you got this over here, if you didn't, you were seriously missing out!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAgxZ-l5pY8

After researching it seems it was aired first in 1997, so I would have been 6 at the time. Still remember going through the "safe cross code" with this in school!
