A massive thank you for all the positive support of this episode! Really happy you guys enjoy it! Please feel free to share it around with friends and family so they can either see these for the first time or bask in that lovely little thing called nostalgia! Peace and love ✌❤
The funny thing is, I'm an Australian born in the 90s, so basically nothing from your channel is nostalgic to me, but it's still fascinating to see this broadcasting history and how it's changed over time.
Photo Booth is basically a celebrity endorsement, so to speak. As Gregor Fisher is playing the Baldy Man in it (a character seen in the Naked Video sketch show at the time, who'd go on to get his own series in the mid-90's)
This looks like an interesting idea for a series. I think it would be good if you did an episode on the ads Jim Henson did for Wilkins and red diamond coffee
And now that explains why my parents keep saying Air on a G string is the Hamlet ad theme... Awesome episode!! Such a great idea for a new series! Would it possible to do the thinkbox ads? Like Harvey & Rabbit, the woman on the doctors chair that quotes old tv ads (I think its just called the Thinkbox ad) and the Broadcast ad. All very interesting ads that would be awesome to hear your opinion on them.
The cowboy doesn't get into heaven because he is wearing a black hat. The good cowboys always wore white, or pale hats in the movies... only the bad ones wore black hats.
That's Patrick Cargill in the first ad. I think that's John Junkin as the angel in 'Cowboy'. 'Air On A G String' is by Jacques Loussier who died recently - play by The Jacques Louussier Trio. Voiceover - John Carson (up to 'The Wall'). There's no question that the ads got progressively worse over the years.
I smoked a Hamlet last night for the first time in maybe twenty years but it was very light on tobacco and crackled while burning like a cigar rollie. It seemed like there was about twenty percent less tobacco than was needed for cigar tightness. It also smoked in about 5-8 minutes or less. I don't remember them being like that, or am I wrong? Have they changed?
Must admit, for some reason, when watching the advert before writing the script, I honestly didn't see it! But as soon as I watch it when its uploaded I'm like... 'ahhh...'
"Hamlet Cigars seem to whisk people away into a world of their own, devoid of stress, or of embarrassment or of practically any negative emotion" So you're saying Hamlet Cigars are made with heroin?

I’m not complaining but you didn’t include the channel 4 add is it because you covered it before in the ident review
Do you remember the Hamlet advert on the radio about escaping from a prisoner of war camp? I would love to hear it again
As someone who enjoys the occasional hamlet, but was not alive during these ads. I salute you for the quality video.
Every time I have a hamlet, that tune always plays in my head. Adverts are incredible
@@Shamanicgnosis oh yeah I’m sick of these double ads that play on vids it’s fucking annoying

Indeed, the legend that was Rab C Nesbitt.
This tune should be played on other adverts today!
Very true but I wonder if the nation’s view of the tune ‘Air on the G String’ in advertising was coloured by the usage in Hamlet adverts
My favourite was always the sad snowman whom the party guest then lights the Hamlet for. Brilliant advertising.
I love looking back on these having grown up with them!
The name makes sense now! I loved this episode!
great vid mate, you just got a new subscriber. Great quality !
Channel 4 had a hamlet ad in 1980s
He looked at that in an episode of The Ident Review.
Wow this video was not a disappointment
much appreciated man, thank you!

This is such a brilliant idea for a new series :)

I love your videos

Good start.

I mean, they say the 80's were a weird time... I wouldn't put it past them 😂
@@AdamMartyn yea I lived through them lol!
Good thing I pushed people to vote for something else.
The golfer cheated!
Is this video made for blind people. Why do you keep telling us what we have already seen. We are not american after all.
