Didn't realise just how happy I was , how good things were. The music, the freedom, my favourite shops Forbidden Planet HMV, Virgin Megastores ,Our Price ,the places that have now gone. I miss it all so much.
If you didn't realize how happy you were, then you weren't as happy as you thought you were - just as happy as you imagined you were by comparison.
Sure, I was comparatively much happiER back then, but there were problems which had come about even before this (in the recent months before this as it just so happens).
pays for adblocker.. watches ads for 2 hours straight 🤷♀️😂
That's so funny!!
I was 10 when this was on, poor but we had the important things, friendship, family, good childhood times, something films would make back in the day, miss it. The things we didn’t know, kids were kids, respect for adults and sticking with your family, they were amazing times. Nostalgia tingles. A year later got pissed on baby sham in a barbrque, that was the last year i remember my whole family was truly happy, one my great grandmother died, my grandfather was never the same until he died, sorry for the sad bit at the end, lesson here is, enjoy life every day as a present, you’ve got to experience the bad, to enjoy the good.
Ads really were better back then...80’s was awesome
Life back in the 80's were better.
My god ..It was fun in the 80s
Ain't no god
Idiot
I miss the alcohol adverts. Nothing sordid about it...sherry, port. Just about sitting in with family and having a good time.
I remember baby sham. Got pissed on it on Christmas day when I was 6 years old...
N C-K do you remember Cherry B
I miss those too . It's a shame
Funny the things that stick in your mind!! I still remember word for word that Fruit & Fibre song!!! Bit sad I know. I was 13 in '87. Loved the Croft Original too.
Stevie St.James when it came on all the words were instantly in my head. It's a great ad.
@David Mander I was 28, David!
I was 16
I love watching TV commercials from this era. They are soft, well spoken, not rushed, not in your face, relaxing, warm, calm, quieter and comforting adverts. They seem less *cold* than adverts today which are hard, common (some times more ghetto sounding due to diversity quotas) fast paced, slap bang wallop editing, in your face, tense, rushed, loud and as a result just so so *cold* just like today's world. So I switch these on for some comfort and reassurance.
I agree, slow, soft and lovely to watch I don't have a tv licence these days (,have a smart tv so watch netflix and UA-cam only) but obviously still see adverts on here. I think the new M and S Christmas jumping around one has less class than a Poundland advert would have. I'm glad i don't have to see so much crap any more
You hit the nail on the head.
All the perfume ads for christmas! you can still buy Panache in chemists at Christmas I am always tempted to buy it to see how it smells, and everyone got talc/soap gift sets, it was a nicer time
I'm trying to find the song for the Coco Chanel advert. Such an 80's tune but can't figure out which one...
Glenn Frey - Sexy girl?
happyhero1985 consider yourself my new best friend 😃 thank you so much. This is the kind of music I listened to in the 80's. I was 12 that year 👍🏻
Ohhh yes !
Used to get adverts that were cheerful.Now its just adopt a tiger or polar bear.Ive told them I don't have the room.
In the US it's all boner pills and car insurance ads
+Marc Law Not forgetting the, "have you been mis-sold PPI?" or "been involved in an accident that wasn't your fault?". NO JUST F*@!K OFF!
@Fenyk An Loer yes day time TV is all "this child is going blind in India so give us your money" or like you say, "your funeral costs £7,000". I have a smart tv but no tv licence, so I don't watch tv. I watch only netflix or UA-cam now. Got sick of all the repeats on the only (imo) watchable "drama" channel. jokingly called it the Dementia Channel cos had same episode of tv programme more than once in the same day. And no offence to any one with loved ones with Dementia. my mum had it when she died.
Cadbury's Milk Tray Advert 📺😊📺😊
Almost 30 years old! Was life better then, than it is now?
Almost 30 years. My word. Doesn't seem possible.............
Yes
YES THE HELL IT WAS!
Life was much better everywhere.
For me personally yes
back then i bought a lot of panache. if you sniffed it from a plastic bag it made your head spin and you could hear coconuts.
There were some genius copywriters back then. Now it's all ukulele strumming, off beat hand claps all the way through or some unneeded slowed down poorly sung cover version of a classic song.
Or whistling - to convince you that a company is "down to earth".
"To give your mince pies lots of welly on their way down to your... tummy.". Sack the poet.
97channel I always thought 'on the way down to your BELLY' would have fitted better....
I think I had that Impulse, everyone bought Impulse in the 80s and 90s not so much now
Still use impulse haven’t got any flowers 💐 yet
My mum said I used to watch the adverts when I was baby. Didn't matter what was on, the TV only caught my attention when an ad came on. I was born in June 1987 and I'm shocked to say that I remember a few of these ads.
So weird.
Yep, I was 4 , turning 5, but I'm getting deja vu here. Strange
Oi scream for cream...
Helen Lederer in the Warniks ad, and Bob Carolgees in the ad for mayo.
I love 80s xmas ads
Where did it all go wrong?
Internet
Political correctness
Imports
Well at least if happened at all 🙂
omg the cat drinking the baileys
The durabeam work torch would not light up a matchbox
My mother was pregnant with me at the time these TV adverts were on tv born in March 1988
11 years old, and all i wanted for Christmas was a Durabeam tourch!
Was sherry and perfume all they had to drink in 1987?
I was 6 year old in this year
I was 1 years old 🤣🤣
30 years later
A young Mark Williams (Fast Show, Harry Potter) advertising Mr Kipling's and Only Fools And Horses' Marlene (Sue Holderness) advertising Spar.
MrDannydoodah oh yeah it's Mr Weasley!
Petersen off Red Dwarf!
FOR GOWDS SAKE,S MARLENE
nearly every advert is about Sherry :)
These make my youngest fall asleep. Would explain my laziness in the 80’s.
Good greef.......is that Kelloggs ad really over 30 years old? I can still sing it today.
This is Tuesday 22nd December 1987, so not quite "early" December.
When a man you've never met before suddenly gives you flowers it's classed as sexual harassment now. Sad how times have changed, and not for the better in many ways.
In fact there were a lot of adverts that the liberals would consider sexual harassment now.
It's sad how things have changed
Don't be dramatic. A single gift is not harassment. If he refuses to accept a negative response to his gift, then it becomes harassment. If he thinks a gift gives him the 'right' to demand a date/kiss/sexual favours, then it becomes harassment.
That Warnick's woman was on Ab Fab, wasn't she?
Some of these ads, like the Piermont mineral water, or the Alka Seltzer, try so hard to shock that they lose all track of what they're selling. The P&O ad is so classy and soothing and helps sell the product.
Yes.
+Ken George Jones That was Helen Lederer, she was also a great episode of Bottom!
mrpositronia She was also in Naked Video in the late 1980s (I think)
+Evonne Okafor Correct!
The Piermont advert is clearly a take on Peter Gabriel's video for Sledgehammer (which was from 1986, I think)... probably more faithful to its product than it appears 30 years later, just trying to jump on the back of something that was current and popular.
I remember that girl going on about Paris texas , shes gorgeous
Lysette Anthony on the Impulse ad
Must be Anglia TV with the Norwich Theatre Royal advert !
Lewis72 think the Anglia tv ident gave that away
So much sherry
my daughter was only 2 awww bless, doesn't time fly, maybe it is me but I feel adverts were better made in the day as now its more adverts for gambling or take away junk food, I use to love the story adverts like the BT advert aka Marien Lipman, and all because the lady love's milk tray, The best was the OXE adverts watching them grow up can't remember her full name Linda who starred in the OXE advert. I just feel they were better adverts, Your right Lee kids were kids they had their moments but they did respect adults a lot more I know my children did and when the family came around to visit my kids were so good which I'm proud of.
I would have enjoyed this better without having to skip all the annoying UA-cam ads that kept popping 😡
" the xmas adverts" etc every year they put them out....."croft original" was a classic.
"panache and tweed" every year....another classic was this two french rushing around etc. seems like "yesterday" they were being aired.
Is that the skateboard assassin in the Chanel advert at the end?
So much better than the political correctness world we are forced to put up with
watching the drinks adverts makes me wonder how much of booze was being drunk
No one I knew really drank at any other time. Maybe 4 cans of "Carling Black Label" as it was known back then per week for the men and no alcohol for the women til Christmas when the martini and lemonade and snowballs came out. And yes, the cooking sherry.
Wait what mjs Pepsi commercial in Uk? I thought that’s just for USA
35 years later, Pepsi still haven't recouped Michael Jackson's fee for a 30 second appearance .
The Implulse theme reminds one uncannily of the Minder theme.
Thanks for this.
All thoes Sherry ads :o
'So, when a man you've never met before suddenly buys you flowers'......he's a fucking stalker!
The woman in the Impulse ad. Are those 'passion killer' knickers she's wearing?
I was thinking they were from a1980s Leeds center forward
Tr
they were a style known as "French knickers". you can still get that style. they are usually silky textured fabric. you wore them with a matching camisole
The French City used to be like the ad, now it’s a shit hole, imigrants destroyed it, bloody sad, seeing it smashed to bits is sacrilege.
Soap on a rope for me, insignia, spectrum plus 48k, Thorntons toffee, puked up pure orange juice and peanuts lmao
PG Tips Advert 📺😊📺😊
I remember those...PG Tips...The good old days
My only down side from the 80,s was getting bullied at school😪
The days when you bought an apple from green grocers and your throat didn't itch after eating it.
I have never understood that Spar advert. Does that couple actually live in the backroom of that branch of Spar (where the stock is usually kept)? And does she actually commit an act of shoplifting when she grabs the box of chocolate biscuits in three seconds between store and living room? Perhaps they actually own that Spar store? I think we should be told... :)
Also, is it me or does the woman in the pink jacket in the Tweed advert look a little bit like Edwina Currie? Only me then. Only a year before the Salmonella scandal...
And if the QC cartoon characters were gay, I would have a damn good idea as to what the Q actually stands for...
I'm half-convinced it's "Quentin Crisp".
Applemask Why didn't I think of that? :)
Old Adverts
Thanks, Sherlock.
Nice one, Happyhero1985...cracking set of ads....I think the letters Q and C might be a bit fruity you know.....Cheers.
I used to think it was 'screamford cream' back then
Why the f*ck would you risk your life swinging on a crane hook to reach the balcony of a bird you fancied ? Just go up in the lift, knock at the door, and leave them on the doorstep.
Who were Mirage? Were they a dance covers group? Like the 80's equivalent of what Fill 'n' Fill, Cascarda and Ultrabeat were in the 00's.
+Bedsitdweller Most of the club music we have now started back then in the late 80s (Acid, Rave, Techno, Hard House etc), and at the time I just assumed it was a passing fad. It just proves that most people only hear music, they do not listen to it in any depth otherwise they would soon be very bored and aggravated with club music. If you look at the charts circa 1980/81 you would see a huge variety of music, something for everyone. You cannot say the same now.
Here's an answer to your actual question: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirage_(medley_group)
The Croft Sherry guy is now in Rehab.
2:35 - Watch Duracell do an Apple presentation... in 1987. 😂😂😂😎😎😎
18:22 What Advert Is This.
COCO
The sheer variety of cheap scent is mind boggling.
Spar, so near you just slide there and back.
When shop lifting biscuits was a thing. Though wouldn't the shopkeeper hunt them down for this, he doesn't need to go far. When the relatives come round do you think they would question that?
Gvp
Gaw the old markets you don't see them anymore
Booze, perfume/aftershave and holidays.....yep it’s Christmas 🎄
All that to deliver milk tray
MR KILLING AD MARK WILLIAMS FROM THE FAST SHOW THIS WEEK I WILL BE MOSTLY BE EATING MINCE PIE,S THE SPA AD THATS WAS MARLEINE FROM ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES
How much fucking Sherry did the British drink in 1987!!???
like it
I finished with telly ads when I found out Cillit Bang is a Tory party donor. Yep Tory donors on your tv 24 7😬😬😬😬😬😬😬
Lol don't think the lefties would put up with those pg tips adverts today!
Why "lefties"? How about open-minded individuals who don't agree with animal exploitation, instead?
I would if I could find the tape again. Although, even for ancient telly you run the risk of having your channel pulled so maybe not. Sorry.
Fucking hell what's with all the sherry adverts
lol @ Milk Tray ads.
Anyone know that song in the coco Chanel ad please??
Sophia Adcock Sexy Girl by Glen Frey
nicklive66 thank you 😊
I never viewed those two letters like that. You're right. They are quite gay aren't they?
uk is nice
You're avin a Turkish ain't ya! ,gone down the shitter now .
Well fuck off and live some where else if you don’t like it!
What ever happened to that young man in the Pepsi advert? Faded into obscurity i suppose.
2:45 It's dull compared to modern torches about 1/5th the size !!
Wow. You guys still call flashlights torches? Like on a regular basis?
Mike Troncin
Yes, we also don't use the work "like" all the time either !!
A flashlight would suggest that you use it to flash, not to look for stuff in the dark.
+Lewis72 by that logic, calling it a torch would suggest it's on fire. But thanks for trying to be shitty about it.
Mike Troncin
My pleasure.
Must be a US/UK thing.
+Mike Troncin yeah, how dare English people use the English language correctly.
Real adverts not to day rubbish
Yardley black label
pg tips will e sellit
haha classic
How many crappy perfume ads, gud god!
Even as a kid I knew everything looked naff in the 80s.
1:40 in the end turned out he was really, really, really bad.
Hahahaha
Yes Michael, we know you’re bad......
Q and C are puffs.
Fosters piss wasser
Hideously white
Watch American commercials in the 80s & 90s. It’s hideously non white even back then.
Proportionately.
9:18 The Snowman theme.
Back when Thatcher was PM. It was a better time where people believed in Britain unlike the young ungrateful's today who value crap.
that evil woman called the murdering dictator pinochet a friend, abolished the GLC in order to remove an opposition power base and destroyed a great national asset in the mining industry making war on our own people in the process. she had no commitment to freedom and democracy. and engineered a nice little war to get re elected. they were terrible times which did not improve till 1997
Thatcher wasnt nice...but if she hadnt rolled back the unions and leftists the UK would have either collapsed into third world status or ended up going full totalitarian (as in that old show '1990' with edward woodwood) True she hurt about 1/4 of the people...but that 1/4rd were the ones holding everyone else to ransome with strikes and go slows.... she gave the UK another 2 decades of relative prosperity whatever her personal faults
Love Her Or Hate Her There Was A Reason Why They Called Her The Iron Lady ....
And Maybe She Did Some Things We Did & Didnt Like But She Was A Good PM .........
legendary old cunt who sold the UK down the river Tory bastards.
Yeah, right, it's because of her, the UK went to shit.
