The old adds are more entertaining than the TV programmes are now.

I don't know what is more worrying. The fact I just sat here and watched over 2 hours of classic TV ads, and enjoyed it. Or the fact I remembered each and every one of these ads once they began playing.

That was highly enjoyable thanks for taking the time to put it together. I was born 1984 so I could recall a few

These are the days when you knew straight away ,what they were advertising.Nowadays you have to get to the end of an advert ,before you know what it's about.

Awwwww wasn't everything soooo much simpler .... if you are 40 and above you will watch this and then sound like your parents .... I remember when.... etc etc thank you for the memories

Sat here skipping ads to watch ads 😂

Using adblocker yet watch ads, crazy. But the old ads were quality.

Takes me back to my childhood Thank you for posting this. Sometimes you remember the adverts more than the shows. Watching this I just relived my childhood in Scotland. These do bring back some memories.

Best decade & the best days ever!!! I miss the 1990s!!! 😭😭😭😭

Great trip down memory lane, thank you. Good to see the man who singlehandedly raised the funds for the national spinal injuries unit too.

Nice to see Adds with real people in unlike the ones from now.

Thanks so much for putting this together. I enjoyed every minute of it. Brought back so many memories of my childhood. Brilliant.

Thanks for that GREAT trip down memory lane. Everything so much simpler back then

These bring back memories which must have been dormant for many years

What an epic collection. A large chunk of my childhood in these ads and (largely) untouched by recent scandals. Interesting to see how unsophisticated ads are compared to modern big budget affairs.

Man, it really is like taking a trip down memory lane.... seems like such a different time then.

These adverts take me back and I remember most of them thank you 🙏 for sharing these adverts made me smile when I had nothing to watch love ❤️ to see more of these

LOVE these old adverts - the eightees were the best - especially love Dr. House, aka Hugh Laurie, advertising the Polaroid camera. Thanks so much for uploading xxxx.

15p For a large bar of MARS....someone put me in a fucking time machine

So many good memories from start to finish of these ads. Thankyou

Robert Powell was definitely in more adverts than anyone I can think of. Such a voice!

Fantastic. Today’s advertising isn’t a patch on this.

"Smooth talking bar steward" only Mr Fry could have delivered that line! 2+ hours of pure nostalgia. many thanks for this post. A bit of TOTP as well....the tape must have stopped or over-ran, the joy of VHS.! Many thanks again

bring back the good old days :)

made me love my childhood, great telly and only 4 channels

Just shows ad's were so much better back then than they are today

Thank you for compiling this . Amazing.

Gosh...the telephone box one, makes you think...how far have we come!

Arguably the best KZfaq video in history. Well done!

Just watched the whole lot - thanks for posting!

That soothing voice and distorted music

It just goes to prove how much the TV was on in the house. People used to talk about adverts or be singing or whistling a tune from one. Now no one talks about adverts or TV shows for that matter. I find it rather sad.

I think some of the ads might be from the 70's too, or VERY early 80's. But just great to watch them again, lots of forgotten memories. Thank you for taking the time to compile, it must have been quite task.

I love the 70s and 80s adverts are the best!

thanks to whoever put these on. but jesus they make me feel old...only to be watched when drunk...

Ha! Ian Dury! "Hello Tosh! Got a Toshiba!" Brilliant!

Amazing sociological and historical interest here, but above all, this surely represents what must be an all time zenith in terms of creativity in advertising

I want to go back!

I wanna go back...

OK, it is all making sense now. I am a freak because of watching these adverts as a child. What chance did I have???? Damn you television!!

Its 2019, and i HATE adverts. This however, blast from the past and wonderful.. All we need now is some blakes 7 and adventure game! Thanks for posting

Wow, that Commodore 64 with the massive 64kb memory!

Is it ironic that I'd have been annoyed if there was an ad from youtube halfway through...? Haha!

Thank you so much for uploading this Brought back so many memories

Having not seen the bisto ad for 30 years i still knew the words to never in a month of sundays lol

thanks for putting this together....just brilliant to see these again after all this time... Cheers Chris...

Excellent nostalgia trip

Had forgotten just how many Dulux paint adverts there were on the tv in the 1980's!

Amazing Memories, Thank you.

16:14 Hi-Di-Hi campers! Superb ad 👍

The Commodore 64 with it's _ENORMOUS_ 64Kb of memory ... lol :)

Robert Powell, Richard Briers, Anthony Valentine, David de Keyser, Geoffrey Palmer, Joss Akland and Ray Brooks...the voices of a thousand adverts!

The days when adverts were entertaining and way better than the tosh that is on tv these days…

Wow.....the power of subliminals, the number of times I was finishing off the dialogues on adverts that I haven't seen for over 30 years!! Enjoyable but scary stuff!😕

44:18 "We asked Judith Chalmers what she thought of our new tyres" - LIKE SHE'D GIVE A FUCK LMAO!!!!

Used to groan when the ads came on. Still do. But still watching these.

My step dad bought me a commodore 64 for xmas.I didn't even ask for a computer. It was for him, not me! You had to load the "cheese" cassette in order for the mouse to work!

Very good compilation, don't remember most of them, but most are short and to the point, unlike now where each bleedin ad seems to go on forever.

I never would have thought at the time, but I miss those ads. They are so depressing our days. I Block mine or skip as soon as possible.

Wow - memory lane!

Jimmy Savile told us to take the train, while he took liberties.

When you realise it’s in alphabetical order...

Too right, it was a thorough punishing. Public awareness adverts didn't mess about in the 80's. I think it was John Noakes

Did i seriously watch that whole thing... what am I doing with my life

Loads of fond memories thanks :)

Brilliant collection thx for uploading

Forgot about the national anthem being played when TV used to stop broadcasting just after midnight.

Mike Berry was in the AMEX commerical. he would later be seen in Are You Being Served

SuperJeegee. Thanks for your comment... Mars bar 15p those were the days... Altho I remember Cadbury's curly wurly being 5p, and polo mints costing 8p. How times change !

I started feeling all nostalgic but after a few minutes I genuinely thought, 'these ads have been on a while'. You expect to be surprised how cheap everything was but an Atari Console for £200 plus £20 per cartridge, for games like Space Invaders. That was a huge amount of money in the 80's! The main thing that struck me watching these though, although I'm pretty sure no one noticed at the time and it's only cos of what we know now, but at 53:22, after delivering the line, 'This is the age of the train', have you ever seen a more creepy smile in your life?

I love how mars were bragging about having more sugar

Great collection, Thanks :-)

amazing upload!

The memories.... so sweet 😋

Just goes to show how bad the adverts are today. Back then, they were entertaining and oh so memorable :3

How did you change her saying "Ajax Liquid" to "X-aja Diquil"? That's some impressive sound-editing.

Thank you for doing this :)

I can remember watching those Ads,from the 90's,they conveyed their messages through entertainment,media,etcs.

Lovely speaking voices and jingles, in comparison today's adverts are just shouting and aggression

What a collection!!

Old but Gold! Thank You!

1:02:00 Incredible! just seen the K-Tel ad for Marc Bolan's best of 20th Century Boy double LP. First time i'd seen it. Been looking for a reasonably priced best of vinyl of his stuff so, straight off to ebay to pick 1 up😃. Basically a 40yr old ad has influenced me to buy something in 2023! how's that for marketing.

I don't remember so many ads partly because when I was a child my parents watched BBC. The ads I do remember a special K Fruit and Fibre Bran Flakes, Start, Coco Pops Frosties, Honey Nut Loops, Mars Twix Um Bongo Terry's All Gold Milk Tray, Roses and Vienetta . I remember Vision cookware as my paternal aunt by marriage (then in her 40s) had a set of saucepans . My uncle had used Old Spice my dad used Aramis and my elder brother had Brute 33. My mum had rive Gauche a perfume that had a black blue striped bottle. and Oil of Ulay moisturising cream We used Pares Soap but I also remember Knights Castile and Camay. I remember Shield being the soap in my late step- grand father's bathroom. I also remember Bold 3 Automatic as this was the washing powder my mum used in the washing machine, my late nan used Ariel and her late neighbour used Daz. My dad smoked Villigar cigar while other relatives and family members smoked either Superkings cigarettes or More cigarettes.

Lol back then we weren't forced to pretend that every family in Britain was mixed race

The good old days

omg, i remember dont forget to switch off your television set and sleep tight god bless...lol

Chocolate orange and Tetley Tea Bags, oh the memories

within 2 seconds...instant recall

Omg I feel soooo old

Funny, an Advert about not letting you're dog off the lead in the country, then a short time later and Advert about dog food where a guy takes his family to the country, takes the dog off the lead and tells the family to chase it lmao, oh the irony of old adverts!

Nice to be reminded how furniture / beds etc were half price even back then !!!!! .............

I remember an advert where a man is walking up a hill in a dark, wet English village and goes into a pub. He nods to the barman, who pours him a pint. As he sips at it musingly, he hears his name being repeated over and over and the background goes wavy. The scene changes to a turquoise bay with a yacht moored. The camera zooms in to the deck to focus on the subject who is just waking up with a beautiful woman shaking him. His first words are, "I've just had a wonderful dream". Can anyone tell me what this was, and if it's recorded anywhere?

I found a box of action force figures and vehicles in my mam’s loft last year when she downsized and I ended up getting £450 for them.

"The Commodore 64 with enormous 64K memory..." I laughed really loud at that bit.

Great post thank you, really enjoyed it. Those American adds all that cheering and high fives is sickening but I loved seeing the old adds I remembered as a kid

Oh heaven. Dictation you could cut glass with, clever writing and laugh out loud moments. Rare occurrences with TV generally now!

I love how coffee ads featured cafetieres and percolators to advertise their instant muck.

Thanks for the post 📫 my friend.😊❤

Great memories

Take me back! (Amiga forever!)
