Why is it that we hated seeing the ads when they came on but now we search for them. Marketing geniuses making us remember and search for these ads.

I was once staying in a hotel on the Gold Coast and I went onto the balcony and got some reason I decided to shot, “1-3-DOUBLE-O-6-TRIPLE-5!” And two secs later, I hear “O-6!”

1:22 any kid who was even SEMI CONSCIOUS in the 2000s remembers this. I remember dialing them in 2010. I was only 5 and thought that they would help *kids* so I called them thinking they could help me write a short story for my kindergarten writing practice. I'm shitting tears remembering it. My mom is actually close friends (still) with the operator who was helping me that day and it warms my heart whenever I talk to her. Realizing she's seen me grow from a silly and naive sheila to the silly but not as naive adult(?) i am today. I'm mildly surprised that she didn't kick me from the phone line or ask me to tell my mom.

That Carlton Draught ad is epic 😅

Dogs go wacko for Schmackos!!!

Missing the Aami Katut+Rhonda ad and the 'not happy jan' for yellow pages

I always loved that Carlton Daught ad

i have the reading hotline phone number permantly imprinted into my brain after all the years of that add playing

Need the good Ajax Spray and Wipe Ad when the grandma has guests coming…. Old but gold

I'm so glad that Alf Stewart Snickers ad turned out to be real and some some late night fever dream I had during my late night Uni sessions.

"Don't dude me you long haired yahoo!" Classic

Is there anyone else who saw that broadband ad as a kid and only now gets the joke?

Most of these already live rent free in my head but I've never stopped to actually think "wait what the fuck actually is inner health plus" lol

remember that one watch advertisement, where the watch falls out of the gutter into the farmers coffee?

"Paul's Smarter White Milk. Smart choice..." What a throwback

funny how a couple of these ads are still on TV today like the pauls milk ad and the reading and writing hotline

watching cricket back in the early to mid 2000s so much more special with these bangers dropping left right and center between overs.

2:52-3:52 the first ad that comes to mind when I think of iconic Aussie ads

the reading writing hotline was my childhood

I miss when every ad was a good ad, only a few good ads nowadays. Thanks so much for making this compilation

Ahhhh so many memories but they should have shown the original cottees ad. Also you forgot the Yellow Pages ad, Not happy Jan.

I forgot about that Toyota ad until I saw this video's thumbnail. That was a great one!

Awe the memories come flooding back! Such nostalgic feelings!

This is some core memory content right here.

The Paul’s Milk, 1300655506, Snickers, Banana Boat and Mortein ads are etched into my memory

criminal not having the carlton mid strength "michael jameson! what are you doing here?" ad in this mix

i remember those hilarious "rondo and cratut" ads of their little love story

have yall been getting that same paul white milk ad lately? youtube been putting that on my ads and i got an insane nostalgia bomb

the great wall one with nazi goreng and the rabbits is just so classicly aussie

Every time I hear the piece of music from the Carlton Draught ad, I sing there words. It can't be played for anything else now, it's been tainted 😂

I’m from Ireland and I visited Australia once when I was nine and I remember seeing the Banana Boat advert on TV. 😄

Still remember that milk ad word for word, 20 years later

Good trip down memory lane.

Remember the Smith's Chips ad around the unfinished stadium 2004 Athens Olympics...Construction guys sitting having a break, Starter gun goes off and then Runners appear on an unfinished track bumping into wheelbarrows and stuff...It was hilarious....

Faaarrrk, I loved “OT’s” 😭 Bring them back, Uncle Tobey’s!

The Smiths chips ad from the late 80's 90's with gobbleduk- chippie chippie chippies!!!!

The flight angel ad was there for about 15 years. i still remember it 😢

Anyone remember the fire safety PSA? I remember one line was "JUNK AND FIREWOOD CLOSW TO THE HOUSE".

I loved this, opened up a memory file deep in my brains file cabinet from my childhood. Im after two ads that aren’t featured in your list though… do you remember the SOLO soft drink ad where the garbage man steals his can he had in his eski and the bloke chased him down to get it back? Also there was a backyard waterslide ad where the young fella uses it without water and you see his stomach and chest all bloody (unsure how that was good marketing) but yeah if you remember those I would love to see them again 😂😂😂

Whoever came up with the Carlton Draught ad is a genius

my mate to this day can quote the pauls smarter white milk ad word for word

You forgot the Blue Heeler that said Bugger when everything went wrong. Classic Aussie Ad.

"Banana Boat! Sug my banana!" - 14 year old me

Anyone else remember the car ad featuring Nostradamus? The salesman keeps listing features of the car, and Nostradamus keeps saying that he knows about them. Then at the end of the ad Nostradamus makes some joke about having had a good night at the dishlickers...

I wouldn't say these were the most famous ads.... Plenty of other well known ones.

Can't believe I had to watch ads to watch a video about ads

9:27 9:47 i remember these ads. can't believe there's no amy ads tho.

wow. cant believe i remember these

VB tried to one up Carlton Draught. I am a musician, so it says a lot when I say they failed. That Carlton ad is next level.

Some of these are so vivid to me

have you had your inner health plus today?

No greater love than that man and his Hilux

Why I still remember this laundry list of milk varieties and rattle it off when making someone a cuppa is quite disturbing.

I really enjoyed, 😊thsnxs for bringing back all those memories , I’ve saved, can’t believe I’m saving adds , there usually annoying lol

The flight angel ad was there for about 15 years. 0:15 i still remember it 😢

Vic Bitter for a hard earned thirst great adds they were especially when John Mellion was alive and did them great memories.

that snickers ad has my cousin's brother in it. he's the one on the green bike.

I just want milk that tastes like real milk

In the 80s, in kindy, we used to sing "My dad picks his bum and sends it to Cotteeees, to make the cordial......"

0:39 That is the immortal snail coming for you!

Where is the “Bugga” ad?

So nostalgic.

I found it slightly annoying in the old reading/writing ads that they would say O instead of zero. Like if you were trying to help people with their reading at least get the number right.

Charter boat? What charter boat?! My mum loved that one

I BOUGHT A JEEP!!!! ME TOO!!!!!! . . . WHAT COLOUR?!?!?!?!

I remember a few of these the memories

this made me crave cordial and fairy bread again

Thank you, great to show my kids 😂

they brought back the Pauls milk one I see it all the time now

Wow. The 'Big Ad' really isn't as big as I remember.

Banana boat my favorite ad 😂

hilux ad the best

IT"S A BIG AD

Wouldn't get away with that Cadbury ad these days.

Hahah, I’ve never seen that Carlton one, but that was epic! 😂

Love the hilux one of course. Do you have the ad where i think its for energex? Or for batteries? Pulling the sun down like it's a big solarpowered/or batterypowered light? It was only a few years ago?

ah yes, the great that as old commercials, they don't really make them like they used to... well not in the hoards like before. The Lamb ads are pretty good.

Forgot the handbrake... rock. Because the toyota handbrake don't work 😂

Bloody hell that Carlton Draughty ad 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

4:00 yessssss VB orchestra

where is the moccona ad??? that song is so catchy and like actually sounds nice to have in your head

im indian my all childhood days through this add i really missed those days

Lube mobile with its 13 30 32 . That kid lives rent free in my head

What’s that one ad how u put ur hands together and it kinda looks like a sideways diamond, it’s stuck in my head

Excuse me, why is the Perfect Italiano man not here?

7:10 I love that commercial 😊

I used to copy the "thank you" and bow from Banana boat

Awesome for sure - but where was “That’ll be the phone … “?

7:27 I've been looking for this ad for years.

Look at how big the Cadbury chocolates use to be. Triple the price now and smaller.

The Hilux add is my favorite add of all time

That one work safety add or whatever it was that had some poor bastard mutilate their hand inside of a machine at Baker's Delight.

6:59 is quite the view

SO MANY GOOD ONE LINERS!

Does anyone remember the Christopher ad like what company it was for? It’s the one where his boss drives past and whispers Christopher

1:05 it was actually built to keep out the Mongolians and mercenaries.

Thanks for making this

Lol the menulog ad isn't iconic or particularly good. Its got snoop dogg and that's all its got going for it and he's not Australian looool

I came here for the Carlton Draught Big Ad. Anybody else?
