This is the first proof of concept for what has become Faraway DJ - check it out at faraway.dj/
Classic times , much better than the current world
Did they have a lot of English accents on those ads to keep unionists happy? Still notice Translink do that. Probably not for much longer thankfully.
Yellow pack crisps were good
10:19 Belfast City Hall Tramsmitting in the late 1990s
The Days Like This ad was late 90s not 80s.
If i remember correctly, i think Stewarts and Crazy Prices pretty much had a monopoly on supermarket shopping since they were owned by the same company. Sainsburys and Tescos didn't come to Northern Ireland till 95 or 96. I cant remember any other supermarket brands before then. Edit: Sorry, I do remember Wellworths too. Had one at the bottom of our street on the Shore Road.
What a stud
Wow, those confidential telephone line ads were powerful. Hope we never go back there.
All of it created by imperialism and colonial occupation.
Good laugh! And in the Republic, Maurice Pratt, a carbon copy of Jim Megaw, was the face of Quinnsworth/Crazy Prices here, yellow packs and all!!!
these adverts highlight how buck mad our province was, i wana say i miss the 80s and early 90s but...
14:26 Catholic Republican Brian murders a Protestant at the side of a pond. 16:39 Catholic Republican Brian is gunned down in a loyalist attack. Two different ads. But the same actor. You're welcome.
14:37 STOP! STOOP! He’s already dead!
Billy Connolly did this subject about 10 years before - about Scottish ladies of a certain age out for tea/lunch. They actually passively aggressively pat the other woman’s arm in time/the same rhythm as their protestations. ‘Now. You. Know. It’s. A. Tuesday. And. I. Always. Pay. On. A Tues-day!’
Excellent !!!! Thank you so much for uploading this.
Why fruit loaf when you've got Veda?! lol
As a child of the 1980s, my Mum and Dad couldn't afford brand names: Our whole family were raised on the 'yellow pack' line from Stewarts. Everything from toothpaste to coffee to chocolate frozen mousses. The BEST, beating Mcvities, was the Digestive biscuits...They were DELICIOUS! THANK YOU FOR THE HAPPY MEMORIES, from 2023! 😊😊😊😊
My Dad met Jim Megaw a few weeks ago out for a walk in Helen's Bay. Didn't ask for his autograph though 😂 Jim really was a bit of a celeb back in the 80s 😂
Brings back memories, feels like it was only yesterday!
The last 3 ads are from the 90’s not the 80’s
15:26
The last advert is probably the one we all remember the most.
I was born in 84 and it stuck with me my entire life.

I was told the reason why Crazy Prices was a supermarket most British people never heard of, was down to the fact that the major UK supermarket chains never bothered to come to Northern Ireland until after the 1994 ceasefires. Sainsbury in 1995, Tesco in 1996. Asda didn't arrive until 2005.
Asda did come in 2005, but there were still a few that remained Safeway until 2008!
My mum swore black and blue that this happened which was why had her put in a nursing home. I feel a right fool now! Sorry mum.
Where can I find the full version of this video?
I used to work in Crazy Prices. When their main lad (Jim) was caught having an affair I came up with the phrase "Marry one get one free". It was in Portadown I think
Absolute shite
We’re these not 90’s adverts?
Jim Megaw was a shit Maurice Pratt.
What is this MASTER WORK ??? Is this GOD ???
I've been looking for crazy prices adverts for ages. Need a primark. To prove How's its pronounced.
Pre-mark. 😄
Yessssss
That's why I'm here lol My stupid English relatives can't be told. Have only found Penny's ads so far.
Bloomfield looks way too different in 1980😳😲
hello can I buy it?
Yep head to faraway.dj for more info on the finished product + service
Also that Punjana advert was quite cringy.
Two women won a MK3 Ford Fiesta and the other one won £5K, wow! 😃
That BCR advert was actually quite irritating.
Do you have any more of the Crazy Prices adverts? My mum won a car and was in one of them once.
Big Jim's ego must've been some size 🤣
99p for a fruit loaf? That’s a bargain!
Open late in all stores (expect Ballymena) 🤣🤣
The one in Ballymena is attached to a mall (Tower Centre) and they don't open late on Tuesdays hehe! 😆
Quality!!
Big shappin centre in bellymena hi
Set your watch back to 1959 when driving into Ballymena!
@@kgarrett1404 best thing about ballymena is the bypass
kickstart 1.3 mousepad - YOU ROCK!
Haha thank you. I am indeed an old Amiga nerd!
Bit like Apple and the Irish government
These are so fuckin different compared to the ones nowadays- like with Spar ads it’s always the same woman speaking enthusiastically
That escalated quickly.
The anti-terrorism advert involving the two women is so 1980's, from the music down to the baseball jacket the guy is wearing (clearly thinking he's Eddie Murphy).
There should have been more balance though with some anti Gerrymandering, imperialism and anti colonial ads.
Grew up in NI in the 80s & 90s. Left in 2000 for 'the mainland'. These adverts bring back some memories! Seem to recall some of them getting shown after the Pearl & Dean jingle in the cinema.
Mainland 😂
Pay for half of the bill each ladies? 🤭
Why, then they'd both be thought ungenerous by each other.
That's not how it works in Ireland
You got me with "Rockit"... I need this! : )
I left NI aged 14 in 2000 but this brings back memories!
