That one ad might have been copyright claimed, hence being silent. I don't know if that's what it is, but that's my guess. They also missed the best beer ad in Australian History, The Carlton Draught Big Ad. and they also missed the Rhonda and Katut (AAMI (an insurance company)) ads.
I would throw “Barbara from Bankworld” in there but that could have been 2011 And there’s a handful of other beer ads (probably the launching the deer into the sky for example)
The only real viral one on that list was not happy Jan. Poor Jan. The yellow pages has been a thing of the past for years now but people still say "not happy Jan" when they're pissed off with someone or something. I'm sure there's people around too young to have ever seen that ad that say it not knowing where it came from.
That first ad with the Libra Pads, as well as it's variations for different products was so popular and successful hat in some places females were just as likely to get what they needed in an emergency from males as other females. It's a shame that we have unfortunately regressed since
Sorry don't agree with your it was so popular & so successful. I call bs on that one!! I was embarresed as f... K when they started putting those adds on TV. As a teenager I hated it, watching movies with male friends, Na, I still remember the feeling of embarresment. I have never got used to adds showing them & how you use them on TV ever! You don't need something very personal like that, shuved in your face. Oh wait everyone's!!! Yeah, boyfriends or husbands in later years might buy them. That's also a personal thing between couples. I'm 61 now. I did laugh at the this add now. But no, don't agree with adds for them on TV at all! No need for it. I'm not someone easily shocked etc just don't agree with that one!
@@deblynch2234 I feel really sorry for you. I found it hilarious and thought it was great that guys found it funny too and didn’t have to feel a certain way towards feminine products.
The Crunchy Nut narrator was Australian. I am up to sixth generation Australian and have had recent immigrants from Southern England ask when I moved to Australia. Yes I'm from South Australia.
Men should ABSOLUTELY become familiar with "those" products. Periods should be normalised and not demonised and men are more than capable of understanding women's biological processes. "Not Happy Jan" has become part of the language now. Also, look up the "Antz Pantz" ads.
So you're perfectly happy if men start talking about ball sweat and so on? It's not some demonising thing, it's just something that doesn't need to be brought up in general conversation.
@@twrampage Sure. Talk away. I have a husband and grown sons and it IS an issue at times. *Shrug* Here's the thing tho, might surprise you, hold onto your keyboard, women sweat too!! It is stinky, slimey, and downright gross at times. That is a completely different issue tho. Every conversation has a time and place, but the juvenile shuddering as soon as anything to do with women's bodily functions is mentioned has got to stop. It tells women that there is something disgusting about how their bodie's function and that that part of them is only barely tolerated. It IS time to make it part of normal conversation.
I know exactly what a period is, I also know exactly how the digestive system works, but just like I don't want to talk with people about there bowel movements, I also don't want to talk with people about there periods.
1st ad did great here because it was a de-stigmatisation of the menstruation because it's a normal thing and men being unable to talk about it is what leads men to thinking they can legislate women's bodies. Fucking loved the banana boat ad. Lol the cash converters ad and video have nothing to do with each other. You missed it in the wedding ad because they called them underdaks. The not happy Jan has become Aussie slang.
Never read it quite that deep (re: legislating), always thought of it as more just 'bust the silly taboo' sort of ad. Always got me and wife laughing about the use of 'blue' liquid in those 'feminine hygiene' ads. The mousey, mousey ad was better. (I have no problem being called out as a dickhead).
@@RobReacts1 CASH CONVERTERS ad explanation... The ad looked so professional and nobody was supposed to suspect that it was filmed with a second hand quality video camera bought at an inexpensive price at CASH CONVERTERS. Until informed of it at the end.....SURPPRISE! The poke in the eye ad was not a bunch of prisoners just a bunch of male and female ratbag jokers. The kid was singing 13 13 32 but with an 'f' for 'th', a bit like a cockney but actually a cute speech impediment due to a lack of top teeth at that age, I suppose. He was related to someone involved with the ad and included because of his cute pronunciation of the number. A middle aged adult now. I know it was catchy, it still springs to my mind at times. Also nobody saw the connection between a mobile mechanic and genital lube........that'd just be you 'Benny Hill'. The golf ad was actually pro feminism. No one in the crowd appreciated her golf pro skills or cheered at her hole in one shot. They only saw her as a good looking chic and only cheered when she bent over in her sports mini /sports gym pants combo. ( Could easily have been created by a woman in marketing I suspect). LIBRA ads went a long way towards stopping certain infantile males trying to humiliate women in public ( eg. "You're cranky/ absent minded/sensitive today. You got your ....PeereeUDD?!"....snigger) when they saw these ads showing women treating periods and associated products as normal lifestyle necessities. Not an English accent, I think a Perth accent, though also bunging on a bit of the posh voice over style. Last of all the Natural Jellies are delicious and don't leave an after-taste of perfume, like you've just sucked on a toilet cake deodoriser. ( In my humble opinion and also that of kids at parties who leave the other chunderous brands, sad and abandoned on the party table with the broken party blower toots.) Finished now. Seems I had to get that out of my system. Thanks for the memories.
no that pad add was great half the guys in my high school class started carrying pads and it was a lifesaver. Really helped them stop thinking this is girl stuff this is boy stuff
Rob, The Natural Confectionary Company shown in the ad is an Australian owned and made brand, originally named Sunrise. Their trademark is only valid in Australia and New Zealand, so Cadbury Schweppes stole the premise and the name for your market. They're nothing alike though. I had friends in England send me some English treats, including some NCC. Your NCC is tasteless. TNCC in Aus is brilliant. They do use gelatin btw.. If it's helpful, the Banana Boat tune is Mahna Mahna from The Muppet Show
There was another hba (I think it was hba) ad that had a kid with a lisp that said: "this crocodile came up, bit my guts out, ripped me into parts, pieces, and my leg went that way and my head went that way". Was a pretty iconic ad back in the day, surprised it wasn't in here.
The Carlton Draught Big Ad being omitted from this video has left me more upset than the last I heard a distant relative had passed away suddenly. Also basically every VB and Carlton Draught ad from the 2000s and early 2010s. There's a great compilation "Best 10 Australian Beer Advertisement - Tooheys, Carlton, VB...", only downside being it's 240p.
The mortein cockroach spray they were advertising had luie the fly as the main character. He's been on mortein ads since about the 50's. He even has a song.
Yes its been around so long. I remember a few years ago when it was mentioned that they were going to kill off the character, and a lot of people were upset about it, it caused a big uproar. They ended up keeping Louie the fly in the ads.
@@gangstertopo if I remember rightly there was even a vote put together by mortein on Facebook to save him or kill him. It's was an overwhelming vote for save.
@@katmeow3897 when I was little my auntie taught me how to sing Louie the Fly but to change it to Zoe instead so whenever my auntie asked me I'd sing it straight away. It could have been worse though, she taught another cousin to bark on command and for food.
@@EmmaAppleBerry - YES. thank you. I was trying to remember the name of his accent but it wouldn’t come to me while I was typing my comment. Standard is usually called, General Australian accent. Bogans and morons? Lol Cultured = Cate Blanchett General = Well me and you Board = Paul Hogan.
There was a great tampon ad too, with a guy dangling one in front of a cat, while his girlfriend is looking for her tampons, and he’s dangling away saying “mousie mousie…”. Fricking hilarious. Edit: don’t worry Rob, we’re just mad cxnts🤣
@@spiral5650 hey, if the Toyota Camry had a version with a tray, it would be a ute, the hilux on the other hand is without question a pickup, or a dually or a backie, depending which you prefer, but it was never a ute.
The guy in the Stihl ad is Peter Rowsthorn who is another great aussie comedian. He played Kims husband Brett in Kath & Kim (alongside Glenn Robbins aka Russell Coight) and also does THE best ET impersonation.
You know what's weird ? When I'm watching the teev , I'll do anything to avoid the ads , channel surf , go to the kitchen or the bathroom , anything , can't stand 'em . Now here I am watching them for entertainment .
I don’t know who recommended these particular videos, but they are not close to ANY of the best commercials in Australia history . Most of these weren’t even talked about even in the day
Australia went through a phase of silent ads, basically it makes you look up at the TV wondering what's wrong with it.. but by doing that you then see the ad. They were really fucking annoying 😑
That yellow pages ad was the bane of my Aunty Jan’s existence in the 90’s. She still gets people saying but definitely not as frequently as 20+ years ago. There’s a Tim Tam ad from the 90’s that Cate Blanchett was in and I remember my mind blowing when I found out like 15 years later that it was her, surprised it was on here. Louie the fly is an icon. He’s been on the Mortein ads for the last like 30 years.
I was in high school when the Libra ad was on TV and the guys at school were as likely to have a pad floating around in their bag as the girls. It was great!
Personally I always thought the Cash Converter ad was a massive piss take - it probably isn’t…. but oh the irony. People felt Cash Converters was basically just a fence for criminals and well, we are looking at a fucking big fence, not to mention the guys on the other side of the wall probably provided the stock. NB that’s what others thought, I always figured cash converters to be a fine upstanding corporate citizen.
The bloke with the wedding ring was advertising Holeproof Underdaks (underwear). Underdaks is now the go-to, far more than underwear. "Not happy Jan" still exists and used when you want to show annoyance. The little kids with the 131332 pronunciation was trying to say 13. Third-inn third-inn thirdy-two. Plenty of adults will say third-een, and not many ever pronounce the t. Thirdeen it is.
4:20 hahhahaha they're saying the $225 camera they're selling is so good it can be used to make that add. They basically just shot something funny and said hey look what this product were selling can do.
"NOT HAPPY JAN" has become a popular standard expression applied anytime one is unhappy about something, all from that popular advertisement. You can hear it frequently used to stress your feeling about disagreeable matters.
Even though the UK has Natural Confectionery Company sweets, my understanding from what I've read online is that the UK's used be good until someone made the decision to manufacture the version for the UK in Thailand to cut costs. I don't know for sure if that's true. Next time you're in a supermarket take a look at where they are manufactured. Cause the Australian ones are pretty good.
Rick Donald in the Libra Pads advert is my old boss’s son. That was his first gig. He’s been on a lot of TV shows since and is currently in Home and Away. Yes some of those ads are crappy but there has been some good ones too.
Mortein introduced the "Louie the Fly" character as far back as 1960s from memory, and is still regularly used as lead insect in their ads much improved by modern animation technology, but the jingle and character are ever lasting.
Yes, sic em rex!!! "Not Happy Jan" really stuck out of those ads, it is a really useful expression when you are upset or angry, but don't want to ruin the relationship, it doesn't automatically offend someone!! 👍
My guess with the Cash Converters ad was that even a second hand video camera is worth buying since they filmed that ad with it, suggesting that second hand products are still worth buying.
"Not happy, Jan" became a standard response to anything that annoyed people, as a result of this ad. And yes, the whole family showers together in Australia - not.
Maybe Tasmania - fied for all us from Tasmania. 😎 As to your comments about us and our relationship to Mainlanders, like it to a big brother picking on a smaller brother. Being from Tas sometimes it feels that we are late bloomers and have a tendency to be behind the fads of mainlanders, but then we love our island state, love to go visiting but always nice to come home. Keep safe and maybe you'll be able to get here when our borders open up. We have been very blessed and well on the way to what called be called covid normal. 😎
@@RobReacts1 Ah yes it does. It even points out that the video was filmed on a camera worth only $200 or whatever dollars from Cash Converters. Perhaps you need to be an Aussie to understand that Cash converters is a chain of used goods/pawn shop and that you can buy a used video camera of good enough equality there to film a TV commercial. The whole obvious point of the commercial is that it's not about the people behind the construction site fence but about the quality of used goods for a cheap price, in this instance a video camera, at Cash Converters.
the point of the cash converters ad was that the ad itself was filmed on a camera that was bought from cash converters for $225. the whole poke in the eye joke was just that a joke. Its aussie humour you either get it or you dont
Seeing these ads brings back nostalgia, takes me back to my childhood. A few good ones missed, including the HBA ad with the kid explaining how he gets torn apart by a croc, that ones a classic. Also the Paul's milk one is iconic too.
You missed 'why don't we nibble nobby's nuts' Also, anyone remember how the best time of year to watch ads in the 80's was Easter? They used to release all the add they KNEW would be censored or banned just as the Easter long weekend started. For some reason, the ads could not be pulled off air during Easter and they got to run all weekend before they could be taken off air on Tuesday.
Not life insurance but private health insurance...this gives a lot more choice for doctors and things like having a single room while in hospital...you know...so she can get dressed without others nearby.
Some of Australia's best ads have nothing to do with the product being sold until the very end... Also the woman flipping her hair at the end of the Rheem ad was my high school modern history teacher... you can imagin how happy the boys in ther class were to find this out.
Search for the hilux 'bugger' ad, I've tried to add a link twice, but it's not showing up? Also yoplait gorilla, Sam Kekovich lamb ads. Also the old carlton beer ads.
I was born in the 80s and there was only 2 ads I didn't recognise at all. The Cash Converters and the HBA one. The yellow pages "Not happy Jan!" one became a huge saying back in the day here.
That Banana Boat got into so much trouble. They were advertising some of their products as sunscreen, turns out it was all tanning lotion only and amplified the burns. People were using the stuff to protect themselves but were getting extremely severely burned, some fools ended up nearly needing skin grafts.
There are so many ads that are much more memorable than many of those ones. Tab Cola, Atnz Pantz, Hey Charger, Mr Sheen, Brisbane Bitter, RACQ insurance (charter boat)
What about the milk ad where they're at the barn dance and the guy goes to the bar and orders a big glass of milk. Everyone goes quiet, but he redeems his reasoning by declaring to the girl he's dancing with that one big glass of cold milk keeps him going all night. Her classic reply "Oh really?" 😂
In the yellow pages ad “Not happy Jan” has become part of the Aussie lexicon..as in ....if you’re a bit pissed off....Not happy Jan!
I've even encountered Americans using it on social media, lol
Every month more yanks begin to use aussie slang without even realising it, but we must convert them fast before all the new generation of Australians are more americanised
@Atriox72 - we better hurry! Spoke on the phone to a lawyers young p.a. yesterday who had to spell out a clients name and said zeee! Not happy Jan!
And now even used by Aussie kids who have never seen the ad, and have no idea what the Yellow Pages even are. Truly iconic.
I loved Darrel Lea's sequel "no worries Jan" ...sensis spat the dummy, but I thought it was ace & was totally impressed with Darrell Lea for bringing a happy ending to the "not happy Jan story

They also missed the best beer ad in Australian History, The Carlton Draught Big Ad.
and they also missed the Rhonda and Katut (AAMI (an insurance company)) ads.
I would throw “Barbara from Bankworld” in there but that could have been 2011
And there’s a handful of other beer ads (probably the launching the deer into the sky for example)
What about the fred hollows ad "WHAT DID HE SHAY? He said he could see quite well" me and my mates still reference it
As long as I don't have to watch the tongue one ever again
Nah, silent ads were a marketing tool to make you look at your TV
“Charter boat? What charter boat?”
And
“Bend you knee Katie, bend your knee.”

That same guy was handing out pads at Flinders street station in Melbourne not long after the ad aired. Complete in the getup and guitar too lol
The best Toyota ad was the “ Bugger” ad which originally came out of New Zealand. As for the beer ads, some of the XXXX ads were hilarious.

NOT HAPPY JAN WILL be in there and I wonder in any one remembers 'Sic em Rex'
I know its old af but the happy lil vegemite ad/song needs to be watched.
Aeroplane jelly as well.
FYI on the Mortein ads - it's a mix of latin and german - ein = one, mort = death. Grab a can of one-death!
That yellow pages ad was the bane of my Aunty Jan’s existence in the 90’s. She still gets people saying but definitely not as frequently as 20+ years ago. There’s a Tim Tam ad from the 90’s that Cate Blanchett was in and I remember my mind blowing when I found out like 15 years later that it was her, surprised it was on here. Louie the fly is an icon. He’s been on the Mortein ads for the last like 30 years.
I think not happy Jeff came before not happy Jane.
Oh ... The Tim Tam ads with the Genie.
In Australia, we have about 300 flies for every person. Hence the necessity to plug pesticides.
@@WraithReaper09 The Genie in the current Time Tam ads... Mmmmmmmmm! 😋
Sic'em Rex.
I’m 27 Australian grew up watching theses. Not happy jan! So Iconic
I was in high school when the Libra ad was on TV and the guys at school were as likely to have a pad floating around in their bag as the girls. It was great!
Check out the Ants Pants ad 🤣
When every red blooded aussie male wanted to be Rex. 🤪
Banana boat didn't age well considering it causes cancer and most Aussies won't touch it with a 10 foot barge pole.
Personally I always thought the Cash Converter ad was a massive piss take - it probably isn’t…. but oh the irony. People felt Cash Converters was basically just a fence for criminals and well, we are looking at a fucking big fence, not to mention the guys on the other side of the wall probably provided the stock.
NB that’s what others thought, I always figured cash converters to be a fine upstanding corporate citizen.
The cash converters ad. Are you not reading what is written on the screen at the end of the advert? The part about it being shot on a cheap camera?
Ahh nostalgia my school years adds. Still had to dance to banana boat add. Gets me every time
The bloke with the wedding ring was advertising Holeproof Underdaks (underwear). Underdaks is now the go-to, far more than underwear. "Not happy Jan" still exists and used when you want to show annoyance. The little kids with the 131332 pronunciation was trying to say 13. Third-inn third-inn thirdy-two. Plenty of adults will say third-een, and not many ever pronounce the t. Thirdeen it is.
Btw... we don't use the term pick up trucks. They're utes. Every tradie drives a ute.
Gelatine is a protein based substance, not fat based. 98 - 99% protein and peptides.
It’s not a pick up truck it’s a Ute
Yep. Not Happy Jan became a common phrase. Although I think it's on the way out now (for the younger peeps).
The Toyota bugger ads are still my favourite
They were beauts.
Mine too!
My favourite was, the dog that missed the back of the Ute, splat in the mud, bugger!
4:20 hahhahaha they're saying the $225 camera they're selling is so good it can be used to make that add. They basically just shot something funny and said hey look what this product were selling can do.
Wow, wow, wow!?!? Pickup? It’s an Australian advert! It’d be a Ute! Toyota Ute!
SORRY! :D
@@RobReacts1 🤣😂🤣😂 it’s OK mate Australia forgives you. 👍🏽😉
"NOT HAPPY JAN" has become a popular standard expression applied anytime one is unhappy about something, all from that popular advertisement. You can hear it frequently used to stress your feeling about disagreeable matters.
I think you’ve learnt a lot more about the Aussie sense of humour after watching these videos.
I love the cash converters add, 13,13 ,13 poke 14 14 14 🤣🤣🤣I'd forgotten about that ad ,,thanks mate
Ads were far better in the 70`s 80`s
Even though the UK has Natural Confectionery Company sweets, my understanding from what I've read online is that the UK's used be good until someone made the decision to manufacture the version for the UK in Thailand to cut costs.
I don't know for sure if that's true. Next time you're in a supermarket take a look at where they are manufactured. Cause the Australian ones are pretty good.
By the way, check out the top ten Australian beer commercials. There's some funny ones in that lot.
Rick Donald in the Libra Pads advert is my old boss’s son. That was his first gig. He’s been on a lot of TV shows since and is currently in Home and Away. Yes some of those ads are crappy but there has been some good ones too.
Mortein introduced the "Louie the Fly" character as far back as 1960s from memory, and is still regularly used as lead insect in their ads much improved by modern animation technology, but the jingle and character are ever lasting.
Yes, sic em rex!!! "Not Happy Jan" really stuck out of those ads, it is a really useful expression when you are upset or angry, but don't want to ruin the relationship, it doesn't automatically offend someone!! 👍
The best ads have nothing to do with what they are selling
My guess with the Cash Converters ad was that even a second hand video camera is worth buying since they filmed that ad with it, suggesting that second hand products are still worth buying.
"Not happy, Jan" became a standard response to anything that annoyed people, as a result of this ad. And yes, the whole family showers together in Australia - not.
"Australia-fied" love the new term 😂 😂
Maybe Tasmania - fied for all us from Tasmania. 😎 As to your comments about us and our relationship to Mainlanders, like it to a big brother picking on a smaller brother. Being from Tas sometimes it feels that we are late bloomers and have a tendency to be behind the fads of mainlanders, but then we love our island state, love to go visiting but always nice to come home. Keep safe and maybe you'll be able to get here when our borders open up. We have been very blessed and well on the way to what called be called covid normal. 😎
Aussiefied works better
The Bonds ball ads are the best of all, also Ants Pantz and the and Campbells chunky soup.
Not our best selection, agree with your disappointment
Yea some were poor! But that's the point of my reactions. At least they are honest and shows I don't watch the video before I film 🤣
@@RobReacts1 fair point, and I like your spontaneous reactions because you don't preview the clips first 👍
@@kathleenkildare8688 I you want disappointment in my video watch tomorows taste testing of some yank treats 🤣
@@RobReacts1 I look forward to it! 😊
"Not happy Jan!" OMG! Still cracks me up!
Especially because she can't get her head all the way out of the window...
I think the word you are looking for was Austrasized
"What's it got anything to do with Cash converters?" Meanwhile the link is literally written right there in front of him
The point is the actual advert doesn't seem to have anything to do with the company it's representing.
@@RobReacts1 Ah yes it does. It even points out that the video was filmed on a camera worth only $200 or whatever dollars from Cash Converters. Perhaps you need to be an Aussie to understand that Cash converters is a chain of used goods/pawn shop and that you can buy a used video camera of good enough equality there to film a TV commercial.
The whole obvious point of the commercial is that it's not about the people behind the construction site fence but about the quality of used goods for a cheap price, in this instance a video camera, at Cash Converters.
"Better than a poke in the eye" Cash Converter's advert. Means cheap but works... kinda...
the point of the cash converters ad was that the ad itself was filmed on a camera that was bought from cash converters for $225. the whole poke in the eye joke was just that a joke. Its aussie humour you either get it or you dont
Absolutely loved that cash converters ad. Throughly enjoyed seeing it again. 13, 13, 13... Classic.
Or the bugger ad with the heeler
The Rheem add must have been filmed in Tasmania.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Under the bonnet son!
Seeing these ads brings back nostalgia, takes me back to my childhood. A few good ones missed, including the HBA ad with the kid explaining how he gets torn apart by a croc, that ones a classic. Also the Paul's milk one is iconic too.
You missed 'why don't we nibble nobby's nuts'
Also, anyone remember how the best time of year to watch ads in the 80's was Easter? They used to release all the add they KNEW would be censored or banned just as the Easter long weekend started. For some reason, the ads could not be pulled off air during Easter and they got to run all weekend before they could be taken off air on Tuesday.
Not life insurance but private health insurance...this gives a lot more choice for doctors and things like having a single room while in hospital...you know...so she can get dressed without others nearby.
I'm surprised the bundaberg rum "drop bear" ad wasn't on this list
Oh Rob I actually dressed up as “libra man” on halloween!!
You need the Telstra ad about the Great Wall of China. One of the best ads ever
Natural Confectionary Company is amazing, maybe you guys make them differently??
With window putty
13:40 I used to love that ad as a kid "don't chop the dinosaur"
Some of these are total classics and bring me back.
Some of Australia's best ads have nothing to do with the product being sold until the very end... Also the woman flipping her hair at the end of the Rheem ad was my high school modern history teacher... you can imagin how happy the boys in ther class were to find this out.
Should check out the "Lamb ads" for Australia day.
I remember all of them and I'm 39. that not Happy Jan ad is one that is remembered, people still say it to this day
Search for the hilux 'bugger' ad, I've tried to add a link twice, but it's not showing up? Also yoplait gorilla, Sam Kekovich lamb ads. Also the old carlton beer ads.
haha! I think bugger is my most used word!

@@RobReacts1 Links seem to be working now (beyond my ken), but they crack me up (back when ads had some humour and less snowflakes). :-)
I was born in the 80s and there was only 2 ads I didn't recognise at all. The Cash Converters and the HBA one. The yellow pages "Not happy Jan!" one became a huge saying back in the day here.
1st add, was my fav of all time. Always makes me laugh, everytime.
The Hahn ad is a European ad with an Aus accent voice over.
It’s a private health insurance add for 1 of many companies which runs alongside Medicare (similar to NHS).
Hahaha Australian ads , so random you dont know what its for untill the end 😂
Yea you have to wait for the company logo!
You have got to see the "Not happy Jan" advert. It is now part of the aussie lexicon.
Didn't even have the Reading Writing Hotline ad smh
Don't know why they make disgusting confectionery in the UK? It's obviously awesome here in Aus. 🇦🇺
Haha our stuff is good. It's the yank confectionary that is wank!
@@RobReacts1 come to aus one day and try our version! It's not too bad and if you're not satisfied we got a similar brand called Allen's confectionery
I'm hoping to come down under next year when the global bastard has gone
That Banana Boat got into so much trouble. They were advertising some of their products as sunscreen, turns out it was all tanning lotion only and amplified the burns. People were using the stuff to protect themselves but were getting extremely severely burned, some fools ended up nearly needing skin grafts.
There are so many ads that are much more memorable than many of those ones. Tab Cola, Atnz Pantz, Hey Charger, Mr Sheen, Brisbane Bitter, RACQ insurance (charter boat)
What about the milk ad where they're at the barn dance and the guy goes to the bar and orders a big glass of milk. Everyone goes quiet, but he redeems his reasoning by declaring to the girl he's dancing with that one big glass of cold milk keeps him going all night. Her classic reply "Oh really?" 😂
