I used to love the old ESB ad where the guy gets up to feed the baby in his stripy pyjamas and the song "only you" played.

It's not on youtube though

Does anybody remember an ad from the late 90s which was for milk, I think. It was shot in black and white, and featured a good looking man in a suit undressing as he walks in a park. He is watched by a woman on a summer bench and he runs up and jumps over it. Eventually he is in his underwear and climbs up to the diving board of an outside swimming pool and dives into the pool of milk.

PS Sex can really sell anything!

Brilliant thread! Love the old ESB ads.

Here's another great 1980s TV commercial:

Anyone got a video of the Irish version? The English version is floating around YouTube but the only sign of the Irish one I can find was that it was uploaded to YouTube by a now banned user.

I would greatly appreciate if anyone could find an old NEC advert from the 80s for me.

Or if they can remember it also.

At a rough guess it could have been out in 1987 / 1988 when I was about 3 years old.

All I can remember is that it was some kind of animation, that featured a modern city, possibly built out of clay, or some sort of dough,
with high rise buildings, and with little clay cars driving down a high way.

The dominant colours would have been Blue, White and Grey iirc.

And the highway may have inclined high into upto the sky towards the end of the advert,

just before it fades into this NEC logo, which may have been white or blue:

Can anyone remember this advert?

I have a very vague but fond memory of it! Cheers.

Doge

You can see the exact logo at the end of both these commercials:

Lyrics:

There’s a magical place, we’re on our way there
With toys in their millions all under one roof
– it’s called Toys ‘R’ Us!

Soon after bedtime when dark night-time falls,
Geoffrey & helpers stock up all the shelves,
From ceiling to floor; books, board games & bikes,
teddies, puppets & dolls,
bats, spaceships & trikes!

There’s millions says Geoffrey, all under one roof
– it’s called Toys ‘R’ Us, Toys ‘R’ Us, Toys R Us!

Check this. Has it all. politically incorrect bank ad, big glasses,moustaches and an ad for some awsome nightclub in Limerick.
Oh and the coolest Murphys ad I remember. Yerman from "the Stud" is in it. Some gruesome totp also.

There was this ad on in the mid 80's,not sure what it was for but it might have been life insurance.It showed a photo montage of a man from baby to death.The soundtrack was this kind of popping sound that would go pop,pop in time with the pictures changing and halfway through the ad a harmonica joind in the soundtrack.The photomontages were really funny and one showed him with his adult children one of the sons was a hippy who the next montage showed the hippy son with two "wives" with a load of children of their own including a black child.The last few montages showed the man alone and getting more bent over till the last shot was a tombstone.Anyone else remember this ad or know what it was for?

Not an ad I know, but I used to love these old Public Information Films. Unfortunately, I can't find "John, did you put out the cat?"
