Does anyone remember a TV ad

deravarra

Hi guys - really stumped here. TV ad for shampoo from what I remember, where a woman asks a man if he likes her hair - he is a farmhand and is tending to a cow at the time. He responds "It's nice and soft - just like daisy".

Can anyone help shed light on what advert this was, and what brand it advertised?

Thanks in advance

Think it was some of the strangest results I ever got from a search, was also tips on how to grow your cow's hair quicker (and it said hair)!!

Yeah I remember that. The couple are having a "roll in the hay" literally:) The first time he touches her hair he says "all I can feel is this straw" Then when she uses the shampoo/conditioner in the Ad he says the line you are talking about "smooth and shiny just like Daisys"

It's from the very early 80's - no idea what the shampoo is though - so I am no help really.:)

kfallon

Surely it was an ad for Rad-ox......

I'll get my coat

Thanks to the "sensible" replies I know it's after hours and anything is liable to come out here, but seriously ...

WildWater

I remember the ad. At a guess I would go for Timotei.

I would have thought so too - but can't seem to find it on youtube

Oryx

I cant find it either, but at the time Timotei were doing the grassy meadow, blonde-in-a-white- dress singy songy ads.

While trawling unsuccessfully through the net for the shampoo ad I came across this one which is one of my favourite all time ads from the 80's.
Turn up the volume!
Hope the older ones enjoy

sorry to sabotage your thread but i wonder if people remember an add from the 80s where a child drowns in a barrell of water(water safety add) , and another one where foxes (i think it was) attack a load of sheep in a field, this one was animated. anyway as a child both adds scared the crap out of me:(

Here's one. Does anybody remember this ad for Coca Cola. It was a Christmas one and had a load of chickens (thousands of them) wearing boots (Santa boots as I recall) and marching in a line and clucking the Coca Cola song. I SWEAR it wasn't a dream, but no amount of Googling will find it, and nobody I know has ever seen it.

It was reals I tells ya. :mad:

Doyler92

I'll jump on the bandwagon and ask for an ad I'm looking for too.

It's a old one for something to the effect of a postman posting a VHS in a door and it's showing of Disneyland or something similar. Unfortunately that's all I have and I know it's very vague.

Thanks for any help.

Im pretty sure it was timote shampoo

I don't to be perfectly honest. I said I'd just throw it out there and for some weird reason someone may have an answer. Only other info I know is I'm now 21 and it was when I was young so ~10 years ago I'd say.

Edit: Come to think of it, I think there was yellow water slides in the ad.

Good one Muise - I didn't twig that myself. Although the OP said they remembered the ad from their childhood. Most children would not associate their doggie killing sheep. Having said that I have yet to see a pack of foxes attacking sheep.

Well I am from sheep-farming country! The point of the ad was that pet dogs, if let loose, could go feral in packs and attack sheep. I think they called this "worryin' the ewes." The animation used to scare me too.

We were more or less wiped out by dogs nearly 30 years ago :mad:
We never kept sheep since other than a few pet lambs when the kids were growing up.
The ad at the time was very effective and maybe a newer version should be on the TV nowdays to remind dog owners.

I was going to thank that, but need to use sympathy icon instead.
