0:57 This is an excellent message for a PSA. Most of the "fire safety" guidelines they distribute in the USA include how to use a fire extinguisher, but they seldom say when NOT to use one, or any other means of DIY fire fighting (if you didn't see it start, you probably can't put it out). Most of the worst tragedies happen because some fool wasted time trying to put out a fire that was already well on its way.

I was 7 in 1988, and that fire ad scared the bejesus out of me. I wouldn't go to sleep at night in case my dad had left something out that might catch fire. I used to go down and check in the middle of the night sometimes. I'm sure nowadays I'd get all sorts of referrals to psychologists, and looking back probably it was a reaction to a rather chaotic home life and lack of control. Weird how a short advert like that had such a big impact.
@sanchoodell678910 ай бұрын
0:25 The Finders ad is an absolute classic late 80s snapshot. Women's liberation has come to full fruition. "How about cookin' somethin' up for me, for me heee" Sings the empowered young stylish "go get it" career woman driving in her Ford Escort cabriolet home to her boyfriend who at least still is masculine & does weights. Who has prepared a stylish quick frozen dish from a instant microwave meal!

Remember this advert when I was a kid growning up. I actually like the Ford and even now in my 30s would love to drive one of those. These were the times of the 80s with reference to fashion and cars. I don't think back then, too much was ever made of 'stereotypes' as there were 'stay at home' ladies serving dinner whilst the blokes were at work. It's quite refreshing to see this purely because of the innocence and kindness that seemingly comes out of this. The blonde by the way was stunning - would love to enjoy my life back then - things seemed a lot more simpler.

8:27 Is that a Honda Civic with a little added wood interior trim that I see? They sold a similarly dressed up Accord in the US, calling it a Sterling; people seemed to like it until it got out that the pieces Rover added didn't fit together nearly as well as the ones Honda made. Anyway, the Shake'Nvac add that follows uses the same suggestive "If it smells up here, it must really stink down there." theme as the adds I've seen recently for some garbage-disposal freshening spray or powder.
