Great British TV ADs from the past

[yumyummoany]

My mum would say what she was giving us and always add - with lots of lovely Oxo gravy. Fifty years on and whenever I put the gravy jug on the table I have to say it!

[pelicanus11]

with all the meat they are eating it wouldnt be a surprise if they all suffered from heart disease!

[pelicanus11]

whats with OXO????

[pixiesprimecut]

remember Preston ?................when i first tried your baby gravy ?

[DafyddCymraeg]

Is it just me, or is the mother really passive aggressive?

[iloveyouhunny]

@DafyddCymraeg Love the way she takes a dish from the oven with an oven glove and gives it to Michael and hes wearing nothing on his hands

[joannedj1]

LOL at the Bonfire Night version!!! And the after-Christmas one with all the ways of using up turkey!!!

[Seaventeares]

I'm not sure about cooking liver in a casserole. It only needs cooking for a short time or it goes like shoe-leather.

[yobbsmissesalge]

I cant believe i was joining in with the narration at the end of all these! my favorites are the Guy Fawkes night, & the Christmas one!! what has gone so wrong with out t.v.

[clairequanny]

I miss these adverts they where the best ever



[MrOutstep33]

Excellent

[TekkamanAngel]

LOOK OUT BANGERS !!!!!!!!!!!  scream

[TRUMPER007]

The boy at the end of the first advert looks like he's about to blow the hamburger like a balloon!

[zimmun62]

Linda Bellingham looking good with her oxo cubes!

[DaveyC95]

That dish is cold. Health and Safety, if he got burnt, his lawyer would sue the ass off the company.

[Wilfslad]

continuity error. She uses an oven glove to pass him the hot dish of sausages, he takes it with bare hands. Or is he just dead hard?

[Fatoldbear]

Fairy liquid advert... That's right mum, cover your Childs skin in detergent!

[Dnangelrocksify]

whats oxo please tell me....yes, im american

[VirgilB01]

@Dn Angel Socksify - It's bullion seasoning for meat.

[JFredUK]

@Dnangelrocksify Meat stock in cubed form. Just crumble it's boiling water and stir, and you have instant meat stock. Originally beef, but there's also chicken ones, too.

[Christheatheist1]

@Dnangelrocksify - It's a stock cube

[roberta4504]

lol ahhh i see ..lmao .. good one :D x

[GSheppo92]

Haha just think all these years later those hamburgers have got there revenge on the Americans

[roberta4504]

resaly good but why is there an ad for fairy washing up liquid at the end ?????

[Strawberry7Lynn]

@roberta4504 To wash out the Oxo gravy boat!

[minofthecosmos]

How big was her turkey if it fed all of them for that long?!!!

Mutated giant deformed turkey dinners!

[Feisty1967]

I bet Lynda Bellingham must cringe at these adverts now.

[dirtydonki]

Liver. Disgusting.

[2079423644]

The OXO family are a riot!

[runtsworth]

Vegetables wrapped in offal. How sophisticated British cuisine is.

[webbhead92]

Two quid? Even ten pee was a lot of money back then. Well. It was to me anyway.

[amarone1956]

Leeks wrapped in liver - you must be joking!

[armours]

Life was so much simpler when all we had was "New Fairy Liquid". Who needs all this "super concentrated antibacterial Ylang Ylang & Green Tea" rubbish? I want to wash dishes, not drink it!

[ukenutcase]

whatever happened to Mary Holland?

[ukenutcase]

whatever happened to Mary Holland?

[magicalhoneypie]

bring on the OXO I would love to try it!

[20callenderslady]

oh yes, the days before cows were mad!

[jazzmanzoot]

Keep hands that do dishes, just as soft as your face, with mild cream Pufter liquid !

[DAZSAM72]

A trip down memory lane, good times!!

[Mascherina1964]

I'm nervous serving hambergers to Americans --

Keeps a hungry man happy --

Can you say "cringeworthy"?

[bondsee]

i use to smoke it !!!

[electrogeek77]

I am quite sure that society did not crumble because of a few boullion cube ads.

[scouser19a]

love it, brings back so many good memories!!

[ianupton]

id OXO this mum, up the anus.

[Simes158]

2:44 OMG Linda Bellingham is SOOO sexy :o)

[bules72]

I used to fancy the Oxo dad.

[JapStrangler]

@bules72 I used to fancy the OXO dog.

[hannahhazlehurst]

bring back the oxo family !!!

[Bod4sin]

love the turkey one, its soooo true. Wish the kids werent such brats, and HATE the "keeps a hungry man happy". if my man aint happy with me hotpot, he knows where the door is!!!!!!!

[NatGrays]

This is coming from a vegetarian - but I think they were a great way of advertising -

which made the characters bond with the audience - like the Gold Blend people. I just wish Quorn would come up with something like this "Um, hello - is that another veggie sausage I see!" - yes - we veggies do have a sense of humour too ya know!

[Telstar62a]

oh here we go again - more anti-Bovril propaganda...smartarse kids complaining about dinner instead of being down t' mill.  And no Woodbines for afters?

[mtganimemiikefan]

shouldnt this clip just be called oxo ads?XP

[danbroad9]

mmmmm oxo me and my granddad like to drink it

[johngalantini]

Why does she always make a sarcastic remark aimed at her husband, like he's been sleeping with someone else behind her back and she knows. I always hoped she'd cut off her fingers or scold herself... JUST ONCE.

[NatGrays]

lol!

[LollieSmith]

URRGGH LEEK AND LIVER

[FRANKIESHANOWSKIY2K0]

the oxo adverts was a great example

on how a family used to get together

and have an traditional family dinner

those days are over but great adverts

though.

frankie smales

(retro tv advert fan)

[yumyummoany]

That leek and liver looks grim! I hate long stringy leeks ...

Love the 'Look out - Bangers'

[Widmerpool99]

What was supposed to have happened in Preston? Vigorous bumsex?

[NatGrays]

haha!

[MatlockJack]

Wasn't Lynda Belllingham a dish?

No pun intended, incidentally.

[Blankfrack]

That Faerie Liquid advert certainly brought me back. Ahhhh the 1950's.

[lechiendormant]

Sorry but Mike looks like a refugee from the Earl's Court High Road...

[lechiendormant]

What a thing to say about food someone has cooked.."It looks good

enough to eat!"

[Jonnyboomer]

Loving the British MILF in the OXO advert. Something about a "mature" woman, in the kitchen... I guess it's all those layers of clothes, like a treasure hunt...

[Jver10]

lol @ 1:58 - "LOOK OUT!! BANGERS!!"

[thibaulthalpern]

Can you imagine how boring Katie's meals would actually be? Everything tastes like OXO beef bouillon cubes. No change in flavour. UGH...!

LOL

[thibaulthalpern]

Liver casserole? Yuck. I like liver, but cooked like that?

[thibaulthalpern]

Wow....I guess "American hamburgers" were not that popular in Britain back in the late 70s? Wow...how time has really, REALLY flown! I was living in one of Britain's former colonies in Africa in the 70s.

[redbrackets]

even the way she says "meatballs to you dear" turn me on still....

[AdeleGiles]

hahaaa that litle girl is a spiting image of my antie amanda But a younger vertion :P lol

[TonyW1000]

Oxo adverts are very sexist towards the male Human (Male Homo Sapian race). Human Male adults have less intelliegence then kids according to these adds. No wonder there a thing of the past. I'm male and can cook an awsome sunday roast with or without an oxo cube, or female help!

[electrogeek77]

@TonyW1000 Well, didn't you know that it was us feminazis that created OXO?

[elizabethdevilliers]

Ah, oxo!

I'm researching British Adverts at the moment. If anyone has any unusual or rare footage of Ads from the 50s 60s 70s. It's hard to find them, does anyone know of any that aren't on youtube?

Elizabeth de Villiers

[elizabethdevilliers]

The good old british hamburger - what about the banger??

shit im starving and katie for pudding

[OldSetonian]

I'd have done Katie Holland.

[PlanetZany]

Oooooo, those strange things, American hamburgers (or is it Americans?)

[bules72]

I rather fancy the oxo dad.

[miss4tunek2y]

Yuck! How can you fancy a bald guy?

[rdt1970]

If me bitch gave me liver and leeks sorry she'd get a right kicking.

[njm1971nyc]

haha agreed. vile.

[CelticReject]

Do you notice the gradual use of sex and the gradual degrease of discipline, the gradual descent into the very world that we live in today. Children are treated more and more like adults, society is going down and down and down and down.

It was all scripted to turn us into a world of blubbering slaves

Sorry

[OldSetonian]

Are you suggesting that the incandescent, shimmering vision of loveliness and wholesomeness that is Lynda Bellingham might have removed her clothing on screen at some point?

For shame, sir!

PS - Nice tits in 'Sweeney', eh?

[CelticReject]

1:46 the beginning of britain breaking down in to unruly kids who question their parents choices!

'They wre pathetic', ' and Tow qiud of it was mine'!

Even as a kid on 10 I thought this was rude and wondered what would hapen to them after that sort of conversation.

I'd have go a bloody good belting. And so should them today.

[Cerblu]

hehe, the other people in that first ad: British actors doing American accents, perhaps?

[cubvan]

Great to see these old ads and ms belingham is still "alright" lol. Can anyone help me with the product in the "There are two men in my life to one I am a mother,the other I am a wife" thanks

[xraycortina]

watch the sweeney film then - linda bellingham gets her threepenny bits out.

[redhairkid]

Cubvan, the product you seek is Shredded Wheat. The jingle went 'There are 2 men in my life to one I am a mother, to the other I'm a wife and I give them both the best. With natural Shredded Wheat'

[Deanbagdude]

Common nothing beats the shepards pie metal ad

[RCBPearce]

"Mummy, why are your hands so soft?"

"Darling, I'm only 14"

[RCBPearce]

Linda Bellingham was a bit of alright.

[wildenfree]

Shes also been in a couple of naughty films apparently-without her cubes!!!!

[mrrk]

Katie was the best oxo mum

[hanfordbombshell]

I certainly hope that nice Mum got to leave the kitchen at least a FEW times in her adult life.

"Keeps a hungry man happy"... I TRULY hope British men don't leave ALL the cooking to their wives - I'm marrying one.

[ch1ppy5]

for 11 years

[mrslmathers]

I used to love the Oxo ones - I'd forgotten they did so many.
