- Let's take a stroll down memory lane and look at some old New Zealand TV ads from the 80s!
Maybe you're old enough to remember some of these ads on TV, maybe you're not, but even if you're viewing these old New Zealand TV ads for the first time , you might notice that TV ads used to be a big deal and ad agencies would spend A LOT of money producing ads for . In this compilation alone you'll see one particular ad that was on screen in New Zealand in the late 80s that featured Stevie Ray Vaughan.
This compilation features some ads that ran from the mid to late 80s. I would put some up from the earlier 80s but I was too young to remember much from that era.

0:30 - Give em a taste of kiwi!
01:00 - New Zealand Insurance
0:2:00 - ATARI ST "SUPER COMPUTER"
02:30 - L&P Heatwave

First time in ages I didn't have to skip the ads.
Milky bar kid,👍fave💯🤜🤛
Who would have thought it's hard to describe when or what u were doing in the 80s thinking these ads sux nope they beat today the last 10,20 even 30years since the 80s left so many emotions now even these ads are so catchy like theme tunes to everything that was around just before and after with entertainment Music,Cartoons and TV Shows of all things
I hate watching Ads now on our so call pay tv with way too many Channels that being Sky watching Wrestling just constant Ads all the way if it's 3hours it be only 2 lucky just record and fast forward oh the days like a VCR would do for us in the 80s.I watch Basketball timeout Ads spans over 2 and a half hours for 48mins Time Stops amazing how u can lose 2mins easy where it goes
It's been 20 some odd years since I've seen that crunchie add but I sung it almost word for word. Memories.
Great to see Margaret Urlich in the L&P ad. RIP
Lots of wonderful Kiwi talent in that ad - Margaret Urlich, Erana Clarke, Betty-Anne & Ryan Monga, Annie Crummer...
Without a doubt the Crunchie Train robbery is the best ad ever produced in NZ!
Murray Grindlay wrote the Crunchie song. He was also responsible for the "Travellin' On" song with SRV. His other claim to fame was the classic "Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang Dang".
Wow... amazing how much they instantly come back to you after not seeing them for literally decades
first time not sick of seeing ads🤣
I always remember the pixie caramel adds where the guy in prison would eat the bar so long and the guards would fall asleep . Then they would say the longer lasting chew . Good memories :)
Yes any last requests a Pixie Caramel should be here he makes the guards fall asleep by chewing gets out.Moro Creme Egg memories when Chocolate rocked never be beaten forever this decade it's on another dimension world the list is endless to go on how classy the 80s are
Georgie Pie when we dine in was cool likewise Pizza Hut had it we went many times.Give Em A Taste Of Kiwi and Heatwave were hits on the NZ Charts i have the Charts crazy what a Song can do at that exact time era
I don't remember the Europa commercial being so long, but the quality is still really good. And i never knew that was Stevie Ray
Crunchie ad was my favorite growing up in Nz.
52 now been living in Canada for last 17 years
80s kid here from NZ living in Canada as well drive for Carlile Transportation Alaska Fairbanks, Ice road trucker for life
Who's more "woke"...Canada or NZ??
@@ACDZ123 NZ maybe for now since we got rid of Ardern which is Canadas Trudeaus good friend but I love alaska its nice and cold where as NZ has too much sun lol
@@legacyrsme ahh Alaska
.you're brave 🥶
@@ACDZ123 Yea cheers my parents did say I was an odd kid growing up swimming in pools in winter time lol but here in Alaska is a different cold to NZ, I mean NZ is like -4 at the most, Alaska is like -30 sometimes -40 but I love it like that
Loved the Europa ads they were GREAT!! ,miss the 80s
To be blessed and part of the greatest decade of all time never to forget miss it so much oh hail the 80s
Miss these dsys
When Chocolate was chocolate a million times better than it's become now like most food aswell packaging quite pricy.Remember Creme Eggs taste so good the yolk was flowing it was my favorite part of the year Easter as a kid in New Zealand
They def showed that Creme Egg advert after the 80s, I remember it clearly even though I was only a baby in the late 80's.
It ran for a long time.
that went for years - they recycled it in the 90s and early 2000s and it disappeared from our screens.
I remember first seeing it about 1985.
Could do a whole video of the Toyota HiLux ads with Crumpie & Scottie. Including the one that got quickly banned featuring Scottie driving in the city.
The tune for the L&P advert was released as a single and made it on New Zealand Music Charts in December, 1987. Ardijah and Margaret Urlich some of the talent assembled.
People forget that Murray was basically the voice of NZ commercials for 25 years +
Half of these were Australian adds ..Cadbury egg, sprite, topex
SRV and Midge Marsden and the Mudsharks, traveling on
A real classic. Long as ad too.
Europa fuel
Stevie ray Vaughan, legend.
Watching these ads is like looking back at my youth when i was in my teen years
'Dont get caught with shit on your face'
These bring back memories I especially liked that Corolla ad
Been a while since I saw the Crunchie ad. I think last time it was on TV was 2010 or something.
Liked the orginal Spieghts ad, " with the box seat at eden park" not sure when it came out but it was a goody.
4:10 Those early to mid 80s Corollas were one of the best small cars Toyota made. The suspension was tuned for the New Zealand market by race car driver Chris Amon and subsequently adopted for their global market, I believe. Beautiful handling fun car to drive.
That was the Corona by Amon, not the Corolla.
RIP Georgie Pie :(
Love the crunchie one
GENERATION X!
🥲💖🙏🏾☝🏾
mid to late 1987 - i remember that l&p ad was from that year - the jingle actually became a hit song.
Rip Margaret Urlich
It sounds odd to say but the quality of ads were better in the 80's, not dumbing them down and treating the audience like children.
I like old times
Good afternoon sir Frank
Good night brother
Good old days
Damn, we had some slick big-budget ads back in the day..that Europa one, the L&P one...one-minute (and longer!) timeslots. Great compilation. 👍
Yeah it’s crazy how much NZ television has degraded in the last decade.
That Europa one must have cost a fortune! Maybe that’s why they went bust.
Saved the best till last. Where’s the Milky Bar kid?
My God I was thinking exactly same thing!
😊BRING BACK GEORGIE PIES👍👌
i miss the $1, $2, $3 and $4 value meals
With all these ads for chocolate and fuzzy no wonder people growing up in the 80s have bad teeth now😅
Give em a taste of kiwi 🥝👍🎬👏👏
"Would you mind if I washed down this Kahuna Burger with some of your tasty beverage? Sprite! THAT HIT THE SPOT"
So funny that they used to advertise Moro bars like they are a health food bar lol . Chocolate , fudge , and caramel , and we all believed it was so good for us lol
Yeah but there were hardly any fat kids back then either, we burned it off real quick just trying to find where your mates were
It's a stretch to claim it's being advertised as a health bar, unlike the plethora of bars *now* that present themselves as healthy, which are still very high energy intake and ultimately contain large amounts of sugar & fat.
There's only a single word that could be taken to mean that - 'goodness', which I'd take to be in relation to natural ingredients perceived as higher quality and more enjoyable.
Nobody then considered them as 'healthy'(though like any bar they're not going to do any harm eaten occasionally), but naturally they do supply energy and eating them around the time of playing rugby as shown is appropriate.
I knew as a kid that they weren’t good for you in excess. But I also knew that they would give you a big boost of energy. Of course that only really applies to kids LOL…
have been trying to find old big ben pie
Bring back the l&p ad
SRV ❤ R I P
The old computer ad .far owt memory s ,I want go back in time.
What does it say about me that the only two ads I recognize are for Cadbury chocolate 😅
Where is the Milky Bar Kid ... lol
These ads must be from 3 yrs ago being new zealand
New Pink Lotion Swirl was a great ad -
Keans for Jeans that ended with a white outline bulldog face on black
the Norge & HMV fridge ads set on an island with a castaway ??? -
the Chesdale Cheese broz -
Fruju -
Trumpet on a bus with a kid calling out a bully -
Spongy Puds ad 'crybabying" -
the Tips tea bag ads with the monkeys -
Even the cigarette ads promoting their poison were memorable
New Car ads were always expansive
Feeling like only yesterday 😪
You must be old like me.
Heatwave..Erana Clark awesome❤
Remember that 💯
Send me back.
The Cadbury creme egg add sounds like a split enz song.
Nope.
@newzealandstories5621 I'm pretty sure that was an Australian add ...
@@ACDZ123 It was produced by Colenso NZ in 1985. Cast and crew were local too. Music written by Murray Grindlay, a NZ singer songwriter who wrote music for many NZ ads in the 80s and 90s including NZ film and TV productions.
@@newzealandstories5621 ha ha sh.. they don't sound kiwi 🤦♂️
@@ACDZ123 Uh...ok. Maybe to you they don't. Doesn't change the fact that it's a NZ ad.
Where’s Carlos’s toffee pop ad?
There's a mistake in the description...0:2:00 - ATARI ST "SUPER COMPUTER" should be 02:00 - ATARI ST "SUPER COMPUTER", OK?
The Cadbury Crunchie Great Train Robbery ad is certainly well made and memorable, but not an 80s ad; it was made in 1975.
Vaguely remember the europa ad but certainly wasn't that long
It probably only ran at that length for a handful of times. Certainly seems longer than anything we see today though.
There were ads between the ads
Heat wave 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO YEAHHHHH BOYYYEEEEEE
I remember,❤️🤜🤛💯proud as fuck
We have good adds. In those days, some were fu
Does anyone know where to find
"Pink bike shop " TV commercial in late 80s?
"Pink Bike Shop"? I'm not familiar with that one, but maybe I'd recognize it if I see it. Was it a regional ad maybe?
@@newzealandstories5621 it might have been regional actually, Invercargill Southland
it was known as a druggies shop as well
@@jamesmccann1449 Mike Hughes was the owner
Mike Hughes? That pink bike shop? Yeah it was only for us Southlanders.
cOUNTRY road
I’m guessing circa 1989
It must be 1987. Because of the “heatwave” ad, which was actually released as a single “40 in the shade”. And also because of the Atari ST advert with a teenaged Simon Barnett.
I wonder if that generation of young add watcher got a bit plump in there middle ages because of these adds ( just look down ) lol
Back when kiwi ads were kiwi people! Now days it's show's your average kiwi family being a Indian husband with a absolutely gorgeous kiwi woman! Whats up with that?
Kiwis are multicultural now - the white supremacist days are over, gratefully - we now have an awesome diversity - we're all people after all
Boomers opened the floodgates. Hopefully our young people can learn how to ask "Can I rent it please?" in Mandarin
Wait till it's African on Eskimo. Then you'll know the Jews have won.
Wait till it's African on Eskimo. Then you'll know the Jews have won.
The 2nd ad was Kiwis dressed up as Egyptians...
😂😂😂😂😂😂👋⌛🐸🐸🤡🤡🤠🕳️🤠👋🕳️🐸👋😂😂😂😂😂😂
11:35 I doubt if the crazed Arab with a long knife would pass the PC police these days.
Much better than the weak, insipid, woke, soy-boy crap ads we have nowadays.
Don't make adds like that anymore they were dam entertaining not like the soft as crap they pump out today...
