When watching old TV ads is more entertaining than the actual programs on TV at present 😂😂

No repetitive, excruciating noises to make you instantly grab for the remote... no assumption in the narrative that the person watching is a brain dead vessel with the memory of a goldfish....!. The 90''s has so much more feeling and connection - a reflection in many ways of how things were in society. I am too nostalgic though.

It's like a foreign country watching these like it's now. Some of these ads i kind of remember. I knew it was 1999 with The Sixth Sense trailer. 1999 Back when oil was still of Ulay, not olay, back when Golden Churn was changed to Golden Crown before it vanished alltogether. Back when Les Dawson, Bob Hoskins, Nigel Hawthorn & Dudley Moore were still alive before all the sunlife, PPI and paying for a funeral ads 17:25 This P&O ad is awful more of nightmare than a dream. They can P&OFF!

That American pizza commercial was weird. It depicts a southern woman (US South) cooking the pizzas, which is a region that is not known for pizza/italian at all. That’s generally reserved for northern cities with a lot of Italian immigrants like New York, Chicago, or Detroit. Interesting choice.

On the off chance someone here knows. Does anyone remember a UK advert from the 90s that was stop motion using miniture models of people (like the ones used for a model railway) entering a business, bank maybe? I'm pretty sure there was a ghost in the queue. I think it was quite fast cut in time to music. I know my description is quite vague, but I remember it so vividly. I'd love to see it again.

I'm from the future. M Knight Shyamalan will try and remake the sixth sense for years and don't sleep with that girl you meet at a party. Go with the other girl you fancied anyway. Oh and Kyle Magachlin reprises his role as Dale Cooper, but David Lynch hit you over the head with "Its Tele" themes. Oh and Mr Kipling does still make exceedingly bland, wet cladding drizzled in pink shit and passes it off as angel cake so you''ll get some soggy nostalgia there. Oh and Donald Trump is President of the US, Worzel Gummage cross bred with a womble is PM. We left the EU, but doesn't matter, we're all dying of plague anyway. British Rail got privatised before these ads aired. People for the next two decades refer to the companies as "British Rail" regardless. There's a war in Afghanistan, then Iraq. Then probably Iran, Pakistan and any country ending in Stan or rymes with flan. You get crippling alcoholism and a Charlie Brooker like disdain on things but it works out even if you dont marry a blue peter presenter to even out your temperament like hammer to a car bonnet.. Oh yeah and the guy from the Kids show you liked died prematurely. Pick one. You got it

Before I do pop off either to go into another wine fuelled coma or dementia or another wine fuelled coma; Star Trek a show I know you love turns into dogshit. It's essentially making a football Jersey with Spocks face on it. I hate Football, sporty young go getters hate Star Trek. Don't try to make us mingle at a school dance. On that note, George Lucas is planning in your time a prequel triliogy of films. Assassinate him. Not for the films he makes, but the Hemophiliac inbred offspring it sires. It might just save us from the impending war with Uzbekistan. Ridley Scott makes the prequel to Alien no one asked for so there's that to enjoy. Marvel Comics you read and get you beat up for reading in school are now the highest grossing movies of all time. Remember you like Will Hay movies? How again you got beat up for suggesting "Ask a Policeman" at a movie night at school? Yeah Will Hay is playing at an Indie Cinema near you and people are raving. Can we sell tickets that come with a mandatory beating? You've got 2 decades to come up with a plan. Which leads me to reality TV. Specifically Dragon's Den or in the US, Shark Tank because the difference between US and UK begins and ends at "The Office" it must have been negotiated in a trade deal, because everything else is named slightly different by each country, Samford and Son, Steptoe and Son. Genocide. It's all relative, anyway the show Dragon's Shark month is where budding entrepreneurs submit inventions to a panel of 3 business suits who's businesses tank, to get investment in your product. Reggae Reggae sauce, one winner you'll see occupying shelf space next to where HP used to be and they branched out to Pinapple soda. Which is a marketing decsision worse than a company called the self sealed envelope company rebranding themselves as the "SS" Go on there and market airport luggage with a strap and hippo motif with a saddle. It'll make millions as well as annoyevery cunt at the waiting lounge. Namely you. Except when little Seabreeze or whatever the kids name is, is ramming your shin - you have the satisfaction of knowing at least you paid for the pain like Max Mosley

Spoiler alert! Terry Wogan passed away in 2016. Who replaces his cutting wit and derision of the Eurovision? You may not ask as you're 12. Well. It's Graham Norton of course. He's Irish and upbeat and secretly harbouring a self-loathing you'll get to enjoy you scamp. Well, it's no longer fun nor draws the viewership. I'd have taken Dylan Moran smokily forced into a booth to comment- but engineered cynicism? Nah leave it to the proffesionals. Graham Norton hosting Eurovision is like getting Julien Clarey to host Drag Race. Spoiler alert : he's also dead and Drag Race is actually pretty fun to watch. Never Mind the Buzzcocks will soon grace the screen. You'll laugh and enjoy Mark Lamarr's comedy stylings and wonder what happened to him in 2020. He's down Costco flogging excesses of reggae reggae sauce

Weird time really...coz obviously these adverts are from 1999 and so the end of the nineties...so we were sort of transitioning into the next century...so you get a lot more CGI going on and references to 'digital' services which were only just starting at the time and were sort of more of a 'noughties' thing and actually a lot of the adverts (especially the Duracell one) look very similar to ones you may get even today...but at the same time you get this sort of last gasp 'explosion' of the bright coloured, highly stylised, highly random and referential nineties style we all know and love kicked up to turbo mode before it would finally die out completely in the 'boring' bland look noughties...which I date from around 2003 onwards...roughly around the time of the death of UK garage as it was...and then things sort of pick up again in terms of being interesting and 'distinctive' again around the 2011 mark...but still not to the same level as the nineties, eighties and seventies in terms of pure style and creativity!
