50 years later, none of these companies advertise anymore on TV. All we have today is mainly life insurance, charity appeals, funerals and equity release. Clear to see who is making money these days isn't it???
No phones. No patronising. No guilt tripping. No virtue signalling inclusivity and political agendas. Just ‘please buy our product’. I miss Great Britain.
Are you kidding? It was *all* patronising. Every voiceover the same, bog-standard, southern English public school accent. So stuffed up with British social class. And what they were selling really was so much crap, too. Bad food, bad drink; rubbish household implements; just cheap, nasty, tat. Most of the things sold in these adverts no longer exist - for good reason.
Blimey, you’ve got yourself worked up over a few old adverts, haven’t you? “Every voiceover had a bog standard, southern English public school accent.” Having just watched it, I’d say there were about 7-8 of those, along with half a dozen fake American, a few northern English, and a couple of Irish, Scottish and working class London each. One of them was Henry Cooper, hardly a public school accent. The rest were neutral. As for “Most of the things in these adverts no longer exist”, you’re completely wrong: most of them still do.
@@WarshMeh Cadbury Smash instant potato series of ads. But, specifically the one where a robot describes humans making mash. ".... they peel them with their little knives". ROBOTS LAUGH. "Then they smash them all to bits." Robots go balistic, laughing😊
Having had a father who worked as an advertising executive, and witnessed his career disappear due to maggies own spin doctors,ie Saatchi and Saatchi , what a lot of folks dont know is that back then these ideas came out from lunchtime drinks seshs and "brainstorming" in a small office of 2 or 3 folks of an afternoon, not from data analysis of applied psychologists !
Nothing wrong with the Meerkats. i was so disappointed when I realised "Meerkat Movies" wasn't a feature length Meerkat film. My personal hate is the equity released adverts. Just sign here then blow all your house equity on frivolities like holidays.
My what a trip down memory lane which I have enjoyed watching I can very clearly remember most of these adverts from the 1970s what great and wonderful days they were any chance of showing any more if so please keep them coming thank you for showing these ones
I've just recalled the days where you used to dial 100 to get the operator!! WOW! There are some great memories coming here ... shandy .. mr Sheen ...Brut ...Cracker Barrel ...the Inch war..the Mr Kipling Cherry bakewells that made my blood sugars rise just watching it again! Anyone recognise Mrs Penois (?) from a Fawlty Towers episode in the Kentucky chicken ad? Not to mention the Cortina MKIII at Woburn! 🤣👍
I'm so glad I watched this as the advert at 15:32 is one I have looked for on UA-cam for years! This baby doll advert has been in my head since I was really little, from about 3 years old and is one of my earliest tv memories. I couldn't remember the name of the doll but I loved her and the beautiful fairies! Thanks so much for putting this one on!
Back when ads were only around 20 seconds long and not miniature epics that seemed to go on forever. A time when it was assumed that women did the housework and the only drag in sight was someone puffing on a cancer stick! Ads for bras aimed at women with flat chests convincing them to buy their products instead of getting their tits artificially blown up! Booze ads aimed at the dads. What do we have now? Ads for: Death insurance Medical negligence claims Diesel scam claims Mis-selling scams Cancer charities Disaster aid charities Water charities Online gambling Incontinence pads Bog cleaners Haribo sweets which under no circumstances must feature its intended market (children) Electric cars and definitely not petrol or diesel. Today is crap.
There are a couple of ads I can still remember for Vosene shampoo I can still remember from when I was a little child in the 70's but have never been able to find.
❤ YES HAPPY TIMES IN THE 1970TS 📺 TV WAS THE BEST FOR 👖 👗 🛍 🍗 🥩 🥓 🍔 🍟 👉 YES THE BEST YES HAPPY TIMES 🇬🇧 🏴 🏴 🏴 GOOD FOOD 👍 😀 😊 😄 ❤️ .....
I remember an advert for a perfume called _Lady Liquid_ The jingle was something like "Spray it on and up all of your nooks, when you smell so good don't worry about your looks"
Hydrogenated margarines, cheap-chocolates, deep-fried chicken, salted crisps, rye and sugar sweets, drinks and corn-flakes; we really had some crap products back then, huh?
and yet the women had 26" waists. On that subject I recall that everyone thought the singer in Bad Manners was "that great big fat guy". Now he just looks average.
Sad country we now live in , total misrepresentation of the majority of British people , best not complain as I will be a racist far right ! FINISHED COUNTRY ..
Kevan Brighting margarine... yuck, apparently if you spread it on grass, it doesnt grow, I feel same about, cornflakes and crispbread lol haven't got that far through video yet but funny how they. Like now, sell poison labeled as health food lol
Did any one else collect tokens for the Tony the tiger car, think it was a Pontiac firebird? Lol I had a horlicks model T too, it was magical waiting for the post man, bless my mum for doing it for me, now I am 46 lol
Did people really do a full shop at their local Spar? I find that hard to believe. It's always been to me the sort of place you would go to if you wanted to get a few bits.
You're forgetting that a lot of women didn't have cars in the 70's. So yeah, they did the whole shop in Spar, just because it was easier and local (and quite dear)
When I was a teenage boy it was just as well that my family didn't actually own a VHS video recorder during the 1970s. Otherwise, I would have, undoubtedly, repeatedly recorded that Playtex Body Language bra commercial, and then watched it back using the slow motion setting.
Back in history, men carried out some extraordinary feats, then once the lady parts were more easily put upon display, we then stopped all said feats !
I wish i could go back to these time, such happy days, i feel saddened for the kids today
I wish i could go back to 1970 in a time machine and make the most of it again.
to be brain washed to eat this poison
Me too 🥰

Don't forget private health insurance?
And gambling ads , should be a way to screen out on line gambling ads ,
@@nickcoppard5335omg yes! That’s all I ever see
Yes i was wondering why not. They are global brands and could afford it…. I guess they are still around so they dont need to?
Cheaper to place ads online
The good old days when adverts were fun to watch.

So very true, i am glad that i was born to see and enjoy it.
Me to the good old days

@@raymondgreen5864: The good old days, when people could spell words like "too".
Fossilized old racists can only find like minds on UA-cam comments these days.
When everything was norm!
Top Deck that takes me back, we thought we were actually drinking beer, the Limeade and Lager was my favourite!
I love that Flake ad, the tune, singer, model, everything!
I was a teenager in the 70's. The adverts were much better than today.
What's your favourite advert?

And most were sexist twaddle so makes sense it came from middle age men in the pub
I really liked the Ribena advert, it seemed quite nostalgic and wistful, yet gentle.
Yes i wish i lived in that advert instead of the horrible real world ❤
Ah brut for the boys, Charlie for the girls and tiffanys 1978,best times ever..
I think every bloke in England wore it.
Opal fruits... made to make your mouth water....😍
My sister loved them. I hated them. Mars bar or bounty was my thing.
Your notice the adverts are selling actual products. Now it's about keeping you safe or making you more virtuous
Much better than the ads. we have now, especially the likes of PPI and Personal Injury claims and those bloody Meerkats.
The meerkats must die
Nothing wrong with the Meerkats. i was so disappointed when I realised "Meerkat Movies" wasn't a feature length Meerkat film. My personal hate is the equity released adverts. Just sign here then blow all your house equity on frivolities like holidays.
As soon as ads appear on TV I hit the mute button .
Only counted one foreigner. That's bloody rare these days!
Adverts were more fun them days, now they're BORING !
I love these vintage ads much better then the ads nowadays
I don't care what anybody says,the '70s were happier,calmer and food and drink tasted much better.
The 70`s, when the Uk found out that eating cardboard could help make you lose weight haha
I remember Rinstead Pastilles -they had to be hidden from me as a kid because i thought they were sweets !!😊
Good old 70s, my time machine is ready i am off. BYE BYE.
Hold on dont forget us! !! 2023 sucks
Count me in, please. I'll pay for the petrol!
The voices are so clear too.
It seems crispbread was a big thing in the 70's.Even chicken flavour,apparently.
Very nostalgic, if only we could go back ! I remember Ry King You would’ve been better off eating the cardboard box they came in It had more taste
Great Ads back then ❤️
My what a trip down memory lane which I have enjoyed watching I can very clearly remember most of these adverts from the 1970s what great and wonderful days they were any chance of showing any more if so please keep them coming thank you for showing these ones
And the girls were prettier. I know thats when I met my wife. Great music & night life all affordable.
They dont make them like this anymore!!☘

Cadbury flake add omg brings back so many memories. ❤
Crazy to think the cadbury flake girl be in her 70's now.
I wasn’t around in the 70s, but found these adverts enjoyable

Thanks for these 😊brings back some brilliant memories of my childhood in the 70s ❤️❤️
Holy shit - I had forgotten about top deck for over 45 years. I am 6 years old again :)
The expression on his face is priceless
'The great smell of brut, all over'! Reminds me of my metalwork teacher. I'm sure he had shares in that stuff! 😂
Not diverse enough ! 😂 good old days.
There was a Chinaman .Diversity right there .
These are just like American commercials except with a british accent. I love watching all these old commercials.
Great observation. And if my auntie had bollocks she'd be my uncle
@Ezra Forrest definitely, I've been watching on Instaflixxer for years myself =)
Wow that brings back memories... English people
agreed, no woke rubbish back then
Cherry Bakewell now half that size!!
Yes the Ribena ad was the best... Ribena should release a nostalgic edition of that 70's bottle label included etc...
Thanks for the post my friend.😊
No PC. Great adverts watching on Christmas day, good way to start the day.
Seems like everyone was eating crispbread in the 70s
Yeah, half the girls at my senior school were into it or the latest fad diet.
The great amazing Polaroid sunglasses I have quite a few of these.
That guy at the end of Hula Hoops behind the pyramid, looks suspiciously like the guy who played Arthur Fowler in Eastenders
That's because it was him!
TVTimes for sixpence!!
wow! ads where not every other couple is inter racial or every 3rd person is non white....amazing!
There are a couple of ads I can still remember for Vosene shampoo I can still remember from when I was a little child in the 70's but have never been able to find.
Hi Philip have loads more so keep your eyes out and subscribe if you wish many Thanks for your input cheers Jack
I already am subscribed thank you.
And back then the Heinz Tomato Soup had a fantastic flavour! Now everything is pretty tasteless isn’t it?
Terry Wogan voiceover on the KFC advert :)
I dunno why am i getting subtitles, but they're hilarious! 😂
Would you by any chance be referring to the "whoring shoes" (orange juice - kellogs rise and shine) 🙂
Did people eat Heinz tomato soup from mugs? This looks like a different world!
I can remember the Opal Fruits ad with Alan Rothwell as Lord Nelson.
And usually the muzak was better. I loved the Milky Bar kid as I was little
Folks back then sure liked their crispbreads didn't they?
They sure did and they were keen on tit enhancement too.
Kept `em thinner didn`t it?
@@salvadormarley At least they weren't pushing surgery with silicone implants.
Everyone was on a chuffing diet back then. Don't know why.
That was Arthur Fowler from EastEnders behind that pyramid of Hoola Hoops!
Yes.
You can tell by the nostril
And eating them with chopsticks. Makeup artist involved, too!
Time index please

We did, but they were great times.
Robert Gillespie of Keep It In The Family and Bill Treacher in the Hula Hoops advert.
I didn’t realise Britain was so white then this made in 2023 over half of the people on these adverts would be black Africans.
There was a Chinese man in the Hula Hoops advertisement….🎉
Agreed. Black Africans with white wives and somehow an Asian child!

Ry King looks like a construction material!
The Kellogg's Corn Flakes advert was doing the rounds in June 1975 as I have seen on another clip.
Isn't that Tom Jones singing on the Corn Flakes ad?
I am almost certain that it was Tony Christie singing it. Sounds like him anyway.

Also supermarkets didn’t exist every few hundred yards like today. We had to go to the green grocer, butcher, fishmonger, and market if there was one.

Don't know why that Playtex advert intrigued me so much as a teenage boy...
That n a freeman's catalogue.

In my late teens/early twenties I was always dead cuffed if I went on a date with a girl who was wearing a Gossard Wonderbra 😊

One set of adverts set up the fantasies for an entire generation.
