That's not real, it's a Harry Enfield comedy sketch lampooning that kind of information film.

Wouldn't get away with that now would you, the PC Brigade would eat you alive

This is a really strange one, not from a Me Too perspective but its hard to figure out what kind of message its supposed to convey. The father looks and sounds like a creepy psychopath, his weird references to his wife and the uneasy feeling that they're not eating pork.

Haha I remember that now. Completely weird when you watch it again. The shot of his wife pouring the gravy, she looks like she's in fear of her life! Not sure what the hell was happening. Plus the dinner looks dry and disgusting. It would hardly make you want to run out and buy some British pork

This ones a bit gropey.

I have a feeling that the line "Molly O'Brien and the way she might look at you" would be cut out of that ad if it were to be shown today.….

Twould be yet another victory for the woke brigade, the snowflakes and every other miserable so and so who are just looking for a purpose.

Why would it though? Even though there are easily offended people, there's nothing that can be read into it.

Montage of Feck

Is that pork ad really a trailer for a dodgy 70's psychological horror movie or something?

I think it was Sally O'Brien.

Maybe they were sisters!

The pork looks awful too. I’ve seen kiln dried wooden blocks that looked more appetising.

Because things have gone so bad now that the look she actually gave in the commercial could be interpreted as "too provocative" for viewers who could possibly find it "offensive".

In other words, people who just want to whinge about it and aren't happy until they deprive everyone else of it by getting it banned.

I think the selling points were good value for money and plenty to go around. In those days they were the priorities.

Hangdogroad

I can remember this one from when I was very young, was terrified of the TV Incredible Hulk. Deeply strange ad with strong overtones of domestic violence.

French Toast

Wasn’t there a Brennans bread advert where a blind woman squeezed some lads arse and said the line “just checking”?

Foggy memory of that.

Some of these ads were a little bit dark, but I suppose it was playing on the nice guy image.

I remember this one. The ending with the girls clothes disappearing wouldn't go down today.

I don't think the "have you been out chasing birds again" line would fly today.

And all because the lady loves Milk Tray

The Hunky Dory's one when all of the fat hairy blue haired goons joined forces with the insane religious loons and complained about a bit of tit being shown.
