Mr. Bean at your service.

Wow, Nero from I Claudius in a beer commercial 1976🔥🔥🔥..

They simply dont make commercials like that anymore. Pure class....

how times have changed.

Good idea for an advert...car was total crap.

Fantastically memorable and underrated advert - if a blatant rip-off of a famous Escher lithograph. Plus, the decidedly out-of-place dish of olives at the end is presumably there to take the taste away of the pishwater...

Thanks for this always remembered this as being more das boot but they sound like bloody nice chaps to quote tim nice but dim classic ad from my youth

Nobody seams to drinks that anymore, the players have coloured liquid in an Evian bottle, it just isn't tennis.

1:07 you can actually see them spraying the rust straight onto the bodyframe

cool advert

Excellent commercial.

My first car! I loved it, ran great in the snow too $200.00

Most memorable car ad I remember. Two minutes long & can never remember it being edited during the duration it was on TV.

Outstanding example of a TV advert. The Strada tagline was, in full, "Designed by computer, silenced by laser, handbuilt by robots".

About 18 or 19p when converted to decimal money.

Classic advert.

Always loved this advert-Was it a real set built like an Esher drawing or part computer generated and the people going round a scaled down top piece "stair" effect?

Thanks for posting, love these ads.

he should've let the seal have a sip!

I want to smoke now.

Probably the best ad of the 80's. But not Carlsberg.

This advert was on RTE advert breaks in Ireland and all over the world in 1974.

This advert featured on RTE advert breaks in Ireland and all over the world in 1972 now 45 years ago.

This advert was featured on RTE advert breaks in Ireland and all over the world in 1973.

It a advert with money from all over the world.

Frozen food was a relatively new thing back then.

I was 8 when this ad was shown, and I remember thinking that there was a part where it sounded like the singer was saying "family car, family car". WInd forward about 25 years, and this ad is included in one of C4's "100 Greatest" programmes, and there's one of the original creative team saying that the same thing had occurred to them and that's part of the reason why they picked the song :)

There's something slightly disturbing about this advert...I do NOT mean in any nasty sense...its just...I dunno, a bit disturbing and negative. He also plucks the toddler out of the cot just a fraction too forcefully to make it comfortable viewing...Perhaps my sensibilities are influenced by society...but I do not think this advert would be made in the Uk in 2012.

absolutely. Another example being such fine frozen foods as the Birdseye Lasagne as advertised by June Whitfield (available here on youtube).

Like the awful Birdeye chicken pies?

However, like a lot of "processed" frozen food at that time- they were seen as "premium" foods at the time. A classic example is the Findus Crispy Pancake...you wouldn't touch it now, but then, it was the big new thing...

Do you know why they were so heavily advertised? Beef burgers back then were GHASTLY things. I haven't eaten one in years.

They couldn't get away with claims like that nowadays.

Jesus Christ!! LOL!

One of my all time fave adverts...But I wouldn't drink the stuff.

What is more sexist, is the fact there were / still are finishing schools for young women. This advert is just a parody of that fact.

Looks like Ridley Scott's ad for Apple, 1984...And the film Metropolis.

A classic! Just like the Panamar one with Carlos Fandango wheels in it.

That's a swear word, surely?

so, before the Levis ad, there was this...

My mum used to drag me into one of these old men shops, for some school trousers.

Fantastic!!

The Guinness ad was voted as #1. How riduculous. It should have been either this one, Shake & Vac, or Mash.

Also, most people couldn't afford a colour TV back then anyway. They would have to rent one.

It definitely didn't look home made.

Don't you mean, Arfur?

I edited this commercial and it was directed by Barry Myers not Roger Woodburn as stated.

I so missed this advert

Some scary s*** for a child like me to see back then!!

I know i love my Fiat no matter if flying cars apear , i will still drive my 131 :D
