Cadbury's Smash Adverts, 1960s/1970s

[buffalohole]

the Martians sound like the daleks

[iheartdjdangalikeraa]

I like the toy!

[sarahnickmocha]

No proof, just the memory. The first commercial, the second one on your film, was shown when I was at senior school. We all learned it and repeated it to each other. I went there in 1971. These weren't launched in the 1960s.

[climbmusic1]

the guys who made these ads where SMASHED oright...LOL

[bobbydj01]

None of these are from the '60s.

[col2006ie]

@bobbydj01 More than one correspondent to an earlier, poorer quality version of this file commented the first ad, with the spaceman, was shown in 1969 - so unless anyone has definite proof this advert wasn't shown in '69, I'm afraid the title of this video stays.

[scarletharlot69]

love the star of the show, the Smash moggie :-) used to have the t-shirt 'with hash get smashed'

[MichieK76]

I Just Love The, "What Is This Place?" Hud-ders-field Bit. Great Stuff. Takes Me Back To My Youth. & Still Cracks Me Up After All These Years.

[MegaMwg]

Huddersfield was indeed the site of the first intelligence on Earth or, to be more precise, Marsden. Marsdeners then built Huddersfield for townies to live in then retrenched to fend off yawnies coming over top from Uppermill.

[AlbertoHernandez]

HAHAH there emaazing

[hlkolml9999]

you peel smash with youre robot hands lllllllllllllllllllllooooooooo­ooooooooolll

[sonola1]

I remember being one of many kids on the school playground who knew the "On Your Last Trip ..." commercial word for word. Most of us could even do the voices. Happy days!

[airscrew1]

These ads were flippin excellent. No one makes anything as good as these now. I'm having Smash with my fish tonight. Just for the fun of it.

[roboman34]

....Do you know what it means ....there is intelegent life on earth ......30 pence we got to be worth more than that ! LOL.....LOLLOL..

[bobmonkhouse50]

We're the only intelligent life on the planet in Hudd-ers-field!! Though some of us are a bit special!!!!

[megaCK1000]

they sound like daleks- expect the daleks to be smash spokepeple intead of da matianz

[alcockell]

@megaCK1000 Reason was - they were voiced by Roy Skelton, who, as well as the Daleks, also supplied Zippy's voice.

[sambda]

@alcockell Interesting, didn't know Skelton did them. Of course, there's a ring modulator doing the treatment too! Like the robot cat in the last one.

[orchardcottage]

I wouldn't eat in that restaurant in the first clip.  There's no atmosphere.

[cloudbroken]

@orchardcottage :D That's punny.

[Dunes]

I like these smash commercials,they're so neat and funny to watch. Love those metal martians.

[draven26]

Dan Dare likes Smash? who knew

[JohnnyMatesNo]

These adverts are brilliant.

What did the Northern Irish think of them?!!! Send them potato peelers for Christmas for the craic. brouhaha!.

Kraft's cheesy smash get mashed for all your marching needs! brouhaha!

Humans are so stoop-id stupid stuypiddle pod.....

Huddersfield

[navybluekitties]

omg haha i like the "comedy" where they watched humans peel potatoes

[Dnashful]

HUDDERSFIELD RULES!!!

[Papercleps]

This is racist against humans.

[darkspy666]

Far from losing it's popularity, Cadbury's Smash went on to become the biggest selling haute cuisine dish in Sunderland and other, equally cultured Northern towns.

[WolfmanNougat]

I'd love to see a stand up comedy these guys do. I'm sure it'd include plenty of pokes at we primitive humans. :D

[rozykwl]

HUDDERSFIELD!!!!

[skunkhead2006]

personally i cant see the point of drying out potatoes to put them into a box.only to add water back to them at a later date

[SquidgetAndFlobber]

"it is called hud-ders-field" LOL!!! im actually from huddersfield!!!! i feel special now! :D

[Bradio7]

[SquidgetAndFlobber]

[StrummerLivesxxx]

For mash get Smash....In my head now lol

[Soapyfrogbucket]

Loved the way those things laughed really very funny stuff, great to see it on youtube

[ultimateMacgregor]

LOL Those Martians are always laughing at humans who make mash the old fashioned way.

I used to think Cadburys' was only a chocolate making company, untill many years back when I saw Smash.

[chaoreturnsforgood76]

@ultimateMacgregor Smash is now took over by H.L. Foods Limited which is now owned by the Premier Foods Group.

[ultimateMacgregor]

@chaoreturnsforgood76 At least they still have the martian on the tin though. I still see them verywhere in supermarkets.

[chaoreturnsforgood76]

@ultimateMacgregor Hey I saw them at my local Morrisons LOL!
