Hooch? Wow! I haven't thought about that in years. Hooch is definitely _not_ something I drank copious amounts of during high school years. It was not. You hear me? 🤣
I do remember those kinds of alcopop drinks getting bad press - underage drinkers went mad for them. I did try them at the time and it tasted like you were drinking normal pop.
Is that Alan Ford voicing the Skol ad? (4:38) I'm 95% convinced it is, but I only really know him from _Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels_ onwards, so I may be misidentifying that as his younger voice, even though his voice is so very distinctive. And also on the topic of identity, is that Alan Cumming we very briefly see in the Babycham ad (8:45) as the doorman, and later dancing in the club? (I'm considerably less confident on that one, the more I look the more I think I'm wrong.)
It sounds like Alan Ford in tone, but a bit too posh. I suppose he might have been putting on a more "acceptable" accent for the ad, maybe. As for Alan Cumming; to my eye I don't think that's him - just a lookey likey.
The Paul Hogan ones are a mixed bag. Some of them still make me laugh, but it is more of a stretch. The ones that really get me still are the Carling Black Label "I bet he drinks" adverts. Timeless.
Another great collection
Nothing like some old beer and booze adverts to quench one's thirst(especially on a hot Summer's day/night), superbly done Steve 👍🏽😎👍🏽🍺🥃🍷
Sláinte! 🍻

I still have a Hägar the Horrible Skol beer mat from the mid 1980's, you can put your fingers through it to look like legs.
I forgot about those until you just mentioned them!
Thanks for these.
That's it, I'm getting a pint 🍺
I used to like the Carling black label ads. Plus the Boddingtons and Castlemaine XXXX.

Getting thirsty!!

I thought insects weren't a thing in the UK, especially flying ones.

It's strange. The Holston Pils ads with Griff Rhys Jones are still funny now, but not-so-much Foster's Paul Hogan ads. Humour is a funny thing.😅

@@RetroSteveUK Yes! They were way better than they should be. The Dambusters parody was perfection.
