Best adverts ever I’m 54 me and My mates loved them when they first came out in the late eighties when adverts were better than most programs on television, back in the day of no PC bullshit
@@sundaypunch7906 I remember these adds being on in the 90's. According to my Mate in Perth W.A. Castlemaine XXXX is not very popular in Australia at all they prefer V.B Victoria Bitter.
I was a barman in a Manchester nightclub. Punters used to ask for Australian lager; I always wanted to respond, “…they all come out of the same factory in Tadcaster,mate…”
Castlemaine XXXX was brewed in Burton on Trent, not Tadcaster. Allied Breweries had the licence, not John Smiths. However, he cans were brewed in Perth Australia....initially. I sold tje stuff when it was launched in tje mid '80's
There is an old joke using XXXX beer as the punch line. Did you hear about the 4 Sydney Rugby players? Suing XXXX for unauthorised used of their signatures ;-)
Aussies have the best sense of humour even they were only a UK advert and What ever happened this type of advert 80 90s TV even the advert had funny slapstick for god's sake now everything it too bloody serious. But what about the one where he speaks down the phone saying "Send 4 x" but they send him 4 eggs
These are adverts made for the British Market, I remember them from when I was a young man, plus Aussies wouldn't drink that shit if they were dying of thirst.
I remember some of these ads in the early 80s in Australia. And people still drink it, probably because it doesn't so much like horse piss as Foster's does.
The looks I get in the USA when I wear my bright yellow T-shirt with "I Can Feel A XXXX Coming on" Castlemaine was good. Preferred Black Swan while I was there though. Sorry mates.
You're thinking of Fosters larger which isn't made in Australia. XXXX has been continually made in Australia at the Castlemaine Perkins brewery at Milton in Brisbane since 1924.
Grew up in the UK, moved to Oz in 88-92 from 10yrs to 14yrs. Been in Blighty ever since. Pretty sure I only saw these ads in the UK. Due to my age at the time it's difficult to recall what was popular in Oz when I was there, but I do remember VB being VERY big. But I do recall this long running campaign, just can't quite be sure if I saw it ONLY in the UK or if some of it at least was in OZ! But as others have suggested Crocodile Dundee (as well as other Australian exports like the ever present _Neighbours_ and Prisoner Cell Block H) might have influenced the campaign in the UK. Great adverts though! 🤣
UK-made-Castlemaine was nothing like the Australian real thing..... Where did you suffer yours? As for Fosters....... Yikes! that was the worst of the worst! Pretty dire worldwide that stuff...but...at least it can claim consistency.
Makes sense, our part is great for growing grains, barley, hops, your part is best for all the fruit. We help each other with what our places can make the best
I reckon these adds were for the overseas market. Ive been around since tv arrived and i only remember a few of these. VB was all we drank for decades. This is a banana benders beer
@@Hanamy7777I wonder if Budweiser to America is what Foster's is to Australia. The locals won't touch it but the rest of the world thinks it's all they drink 😂
True saying, my relations had a Brewey in Queensland and brewed an ALE called KOOKABURRA Ale, all the old drinker's of those days used to tell me when I was about 10 years old, that after having 2 pots of KOOKABURRA ALE you became a JACKASS. 😅
Áustralia''s zeneth in the late 80's. It's been all downhill from there. Men like this are now second class citizens in the country they helped create.
Yes, that is Carol Burns (who sadly passed away a few years ago) who played Franky Doyle in the first 20 episodes of Prisoner. 😃 The older guy, playing the doctor in another advert in this video, appeared in different roles in Prisoner as well. 😄😃
@@leviroch All us 'Mericans have heard about Aussies is like "Fosters the Australian beer!" on commercials. What do you do for hard liquor? What's the favorite down there?
@@johnphantom and the fosters beer thing is a lie sadly. Not only does no one drink it, in my 28 years in australia i habe never once seen fosters on sale or on tap.
Awesome. Loved the woman who said "He doesn't like anything else". These a very stereo type Aussie Men of that time.
Yes we are still like that.

Great ads , not like the boring PC woke ads of today ,,, unfortunately the great country of Australia is not the same 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
@@viper13178 Miss 80's everthing...
When the ads are better than today's TV progs!
I used to see these back in the 70's when I was a teenager in the UK. Great ads.
They're from the '80s Stephen. It all happened on the back of the Crocodile Dundee success.

Were these beer ads on TV or on in the cinema. I don't remember them on TV .
Terry Pratchett ran with this as his version of Oz was Fourecks, the Last Continent.
Not Australia, just a place very much like Australia.

Why do Queenslanders put XXXX on their beer?
Because they can't spell BEER
correct . 4 X
And here I thought it was because XXX was already spoken for.

Bril!. Back when ads were worth watching!. Nuff said!. 🤣🍺
Most of these ads are filmed in Broken Hill and surrounds..fukking great

We didnt drink that piss In the UK ether
Same deal with Fosters
@@jonh9561 and "Shrimps on the barbie" Paul Hogan has a lot to answer for!
Crap, they were on Australian TV. Ohhh and they do drink that crap in Queensland.

"I Won"... Lmao
They don’t make these kinds of ads anymore… shame. Need Bush Barbie to do a couple of beer ads.
😂 how the xxxx did we not all turn bad 🤣
God! I remember these adds!
Looks like Alf from Home and Away in the last ad. The one on the right of the screen… 🤔
Don't think i ever drank the 4x but i did drink the fosters worst hangover ever after it never again.
Good sport, your missus
I now intend to use 'couldn't give a Castlemaine XXXX' whenever possible.
lol
The looks I get in the USA when I wear my bright yellow T-shirt with
"I Can Feel A

Castlemaine was good.
Preferred Black Swan while I was there though.
Sorry mates.

@@roycarter6235 it is
@@roycarter6235 Yep
yeah really, alot of the older guys drank that but emu seemed to be the favuorite.

The Twist?? Castlemain never sold 4x in Aus at this time It was marketed for UK Consumption only !!
Marketing Masterclass!!😂
You're thinking of Fosters larger which isn't made in Australia.
XXXX has been continually made in Australia at the Castlemaine Perkins brewery at Milton in Brisbane since 1924.
cattleman XXXX is like rooting in a canoe; Fcking close to water.
Absolutely epic!
Rooting….i love that! It’s like our Scottish slang for it….podgering!

Tooheys in NSW VB in Vic and XXXX in Qld
These were UK only adds. They were made to promote the release of XXXX into the UK at the time.
Bet you wish you'd stayed
@@yuglesstube Yes Australia is the greatest place to live.
@@jacktattis they're ramming the place full of immigrants now. So the quality of life is in decline. The numbers are staggering.
Best thing about the stuff was the adverts - dire otherwise.

As for Fosters.......
Yikes! that was the worst of the worst! Pretty dire worldwide that stuff...but...at least it can claim consistency.
Sadly, this type of humour has all but disappeared.
Aye, piss poor state of affairs and especially when the world has gone totally tits-up and we could all use a giggle.
Love castlemaine beer.
Australians dont drink it tbh . Castlemaine and fosters are average beers . Funny ads though
I usually drink IPAs but these ads make me want to drink a couple of big cold Castlemaines
there's a reason XXXX stopped advertising nationwide, Qlders tasted NSW and Victorian beer
Makes sense, our part is great for growing grains, barley, hops, your part is best for all the fruit. We help each other with what our places can make the best
Tell you what though queensland rum sure beats the hell outta anything else
Too bad their beer couldn't stop em all from fucking off up to QLD during COVID.
I'm pretty sure their got some good treatment now for delusional thoughts like that now....yep!🍺 Hic!

Good sport your misses
Genius absolute genius
American beer ads can't even show them drinking the beer.
The Methodists are still in control
Yes, but it has completely cured all alcoholism here, by not showing them drinking in commercials, of course. Unlike the rest of the world.
AH...JUST TO UPDATE..... They can now show tr@nnies advocating Miller Lite.... About right for that baby pee.
How can they? There is no beer in the US. Budweiser is just diluted cat's piss.

I miss these old ads. I remember seeing some of these as a kid on Australian TV. Especially the first ad.
Wait wait wait , was that goose from mad max ?
You know why they call it xxxx queenlanders couldn't spell beer 😂😂😂
Australians wouldnt touch xxxx, 😂😂😂
The old Australia. Before we all went woke !
Well stop using that effing americanism!
That's what I call a decent advert.
Advert quality inversely proportional to the beer quality

Some guys from the flying doctors TV show.
We don’t sell beer. We just rent it.
That’s Frankie out of prisoner
Some of the best.
they were great ads...
Tried that beer it was like drinking water same as coors and Budweiser.
Stick to your Sherry Babs
Depends where it is made: Made in Aussie.... Pretty good.... (And I don't like ANY Lager type beer.) But, made in the UK? Absolute garbage.

And I think that is Ray Meagher (Alf Stewart) from Aussie soap, Home & Away, who also appeared three times in Prisoner in the last advert here. 😄😃
The Bud Ad with the Clydesdeas and the Puppy Were the Best
