[elliswhitworth]

[kitchenaut]

Hey kids, 'HAVE A BABY!!' I remember my brother and I cracking up at that.

Manta Force and Starcom? Manta force were the cheapskate Starcom, which is probably why I liked it.

[phinkTV]

FUCK "The Game of Life" - "Get a job,have money MAYBE!" thats conditioning for disappointment!!!!

[nastyashman]

Why the hell were there girly cuddly adverts in a Knight Rider commercial break??

[CircleofShit]

"What is a didgeridoo?' LMAO.

[corkfield1]

[cjharrisman]

[CircleofShit]

God I remember Manta Force, i had some type of spacehip rocket thing....i loved manta force...shame the space marine things were so small lol.

[pbraddazz]

It was 0-0 between Newcastle and Man Utd in case anyone was curious!

[KaizerSozak2008]

They don't make adverts like that anymore. Maybe if they did i'd actually watch them. Makes me wanna go out and buy the game of life and the manta force right now. Pitty you can't really get them anymore :-(

[mp4401]

i love how ken is perfume giving ken. like he'd never wear aftershave .. and barbie needs a man to give her perfume

[uhegbu]

I was about 7 years and nine months old at the time and among these adverts is 'My Little Pony' which I think was also a late 1980s animated series. It was once shown on ITV1.

[LaZLouise]

I bet that barbie perfume smelt gorgeous lol

[plarkmoby]

Oh wow... I'm a kid again.

I remember those adverts.

The good old days.

[LondonStarGirl]

[Pamcakes82]

Fuck!!! I had the Pretty Perfume Barbie..she was so cool and she came with that nice smelling perfume and pink dress which she could wear long or short...I got her for Christmas in 1988 when I was six :D

[mrslmathers]

Ha - Knight Rider!!

Good fun seeing these retro toy ads again (you can tell it was getting close to Christmas).

[RobinCarmody]

I have no particularly fond memories of any of these ads, really, although I was a child at the time ... one thing's for sure, these ads are for the most part far more alien to those of eight years earlier than current ads are to those of 1999.

[col2006ie]

Tony Blackburn does the voiceover on the Capital Gold advert - sen-say-shun-ul.

[KevCityboy]

I was only three but I remember the Game Of Life advert!
