My husband sent me this earlier. It's ace. And I definitely remember it, even though I was only 11 when it came out.

Check out the first comment 😆

And then I found this one:

Budweiser ads with the Chameleons spring to mind.

The Hamlet (IIRC - or was it Heineken???) advert with the Aborigine throwing boomerangs - it was the first time I had seen an advert split over multiple slots in an ad break. Each part showed him throwing the boomerangs (and not coming back) and the final slot showed them all coming back at once and pummelling him.

It was really clever as the viewer had no idea what was going on after the first two slots - just this random bloke throwing boomerangs with absolutely no branding visible.

Edit - found it (and it was Heineken)

Advertising was getting better and better on the TV, then the internet arrived and it all went pants.

Why do people post youtube links without embedding or without a description?

Perhaps because they don’t know how to.

They don't know how to type either before or after the link what it is? I find that rather unlikely.

Well if you embed it there’s a description on the video title but seems not everyone can embed a link Mister P. 😆

George Cole's series of adverts for the Leeds Building Society were fantastic. And there were so many of them.

They don't make 'em like they used to eh?

I can't believe no-on has posted this yet.

Absolutely the best advertisement EVER. I love to watch this and I always wonder what it would have been like to have been in the meeting when 'they' pitched this to Cadbury's...

****ing Genius - makes the hairs on the back of neck stand up 8)

PS; some great nostalgic ad's posted above 😆
