TV Adverts from the Eighties

[KrayGeddie]

Nice to see Robert Maxwell making a splash in his advert debut.

[teamradfordtv]

I am ashamed to say I remember every single ad on here. Does that mean I'm old now?? Heck I'm only 39 and a bit.. ish..

[tixxican]

14 wankers dislike what they saw

[joannedj1]

I remember Kellogg's Start!!! It was Steve Cram having a bowlfull after his run, wasn't it?!

[joseph1985]

80's is by far my favourite decade and it was entertaining watching these adverts. By the way, who are the girls in the Macleans and Heineken adverts? They attracted me so much...

[vjpearce]

5:45 Is that Richard Briars I hear?

[JediKnight79]

Tubes!!!!!!! miss them

[01jonnybhoy]

what a farter.:)



[ennisbannerman]

Hopefully nobody took the endowment mortgage which was being advertised

[alanc71]

Whatever happened to Tubes crisps? Anyone got an old packet in a drawer somewhee! And Nanette Newman, what a con, all washing up liquids are the same and do the same thing in the bowl of dirty pots!!

[joes123abc]

Americans life isnt all about teeth

[benningtonguySTUDIOS]

TUNA AND POTATO

[terrortorn]

my god this makes me proud to be british

[TehhRAGE]

@terrortorn Yes and most of these British companies outsourced Britons jobs to cut costs, whilst raising prices of their products back home..

Does that make you proud to be Bitish too?

[terrortorn]

@TehhRAGE And the sense of humour bypass award goes to ..............

[KrayGeddie]

@TehhRAGE I bite a few things...

[munch2006uk]

[lostinbass4]

John Smiths has to be the worst bitter ever....Tetleys all day long!

[IDMWEIGHTSIDM]

brb just poping out to get some fair....

[TheRobin1976]

Is that a young Emily Mortimer as the Macleans girl?

[arobekie]

Mild green hairy lip squid.

[2008Sameoldfitup]

roy west

[eamonnca1]

Thanks for posting. Pity I was too young to appreciate the Fairy Liquid lady. Who was she anyway?

[bobsharmonica]

@eamonnca1 Nanette Newman

[MinkeySimon]

@bobsharmonica What a babe, phwoar!!

[rogerswift1983]

"Can you spot anyone who went on to be famous? Red Dwarf fans.. can you spot QUEEG ???" - Yes. Can any Brittas Empire fans spot Colin Weatherby?

[markdaviesYT]

There must be some mistake, this was only yesterday wasn`t it?

[gazzagamer]

lol i tried to phone barclays loans number LOL and i failed my phone said it is engaged imagine if someone from that past picked up the phone and said your loan expires 1989 31st december freaky shit

[illitertwit]

I wonder if Russell and Tracey have any teeth left?

[missmostess]

Robert Maxwell - didn't he "win" several million from the mirror??

[123loco1991]

EPIC BOOB SLAP 7:38

[tonyregan021177]

I liked Maxwell

[RedHeadVicky]

Yes, I'm a date with the woman I love, but I'd rather be drinking!

[mazzab1970]

At 5.35 it's the Scottish swinger from "Benidorm!! :-)

[ludocrat]

Ah yes, the days when the only thing more worrying than the blasted wasteland of nuclear armageddon was childhood tooth decay, and when banks actually paid you to save your money with them (what?!).

How wonderful those days truly were.

[tonyregan021177]

@ludocrat And to think this was not exactly a long time ago. Very shocking and scary what we are in now. Also wondered if the little boy in the Mortgage Ad also got his Mortgage!!

[abhard6]

TUBES!! - my fave crisps snack of the eighties, probably never to be seen again :-(

[IMHAVINHOOPS]

i'd like to see someone try to get a barclays cashplan these days lol!

[xoio]

Jeez .. just think, that baby at 3:10 + is in their 20s now!!!

[xoio]

God i remember most of these! - Can't believe I'm 40 now :-(

[natmanprime]

I don't remember NONE of those apart from the fairy liquid one

musta been early eighties

they were boring as hell anyway

thanks anyway

[epsonc44]

Barcleys ad thats Collin from the Brittas Empire, I loved that programme reminds me of sunday evenings after bath before another week of school (sigh) those were the days :o)

[CaptainSlow202]

Is the new GoCompare advert (the man on the beach) based on the ad at 6:04?

[rkent06]

one of the swingers from benidorm at 5:35

[ashabeiberman]

lol at lenny henry,looks about 12.

[MRSPIKE001]

nanette newman 80s MILF

[JazzFiveO]

Thanks for vid, how the hell did you get these

[mrcrisp24k]

Whoa!

B&Q selling heat guns in the 1980s for £14.99?

You can buy them now for £14.99!

Just goes to show shops were a complete rip-off before internet competition came along!

[MrSelidor7]

@mrcrisp24k. It wasn't internet competition. In the 80's they would have been made in Britain or Germany, now they are all made in China.

[emmyjo720]

Sadly you are not covered by Standard Life any more.

[elafonisi08]

How can anything be "one step closer to no fillings?" We had no fillings to begin with

[mistofoles]

Hm..I wonder if Nannette can scientifically prove her claims that Fairy lasts 50% longer?

[mistofoles]

Rusell Griffin and Tracey Lewis both have one thing in common...they're both orthodonticaly perfect smug twats!

[HotboxStudios]

ahhh nostalgia...not as good as it used to be.

[MiggleMuggle]

I bet the classy Ms Newman would refuse to let you ''have a go'' on her, as you so charmingly put it, mr uglybus!

[uglybus7]

nanette newman she was like someones mum you'd love to have a go on.....nice arse in white jeans in daz advert too.

[therealKINDLE]

This makes you notice how much Adverts use fucking Music in Every single possible gap now. And how quiet they used to be before the LOUDness War.

[dimgwalltameiben]

@therealKINDLE Good point I hadn't noticed that! Plus a nominal 1 hour drama is now split into FOUR chunks, ads override opening & end credits, bloody phone in comps and stuff like X factor is so padded I honestly think a tenner a month TV licence is a bloody bargain.

[andred71]

OMG is that real , proper money at 2:50 todays stuff just don`t feel right

[moonshoes1000]

Its fucking mind bending watching all these adds. WoW

[bloodravenuk]

At 2:57 the guy fishing that's Colin from the Brittas Empire!!

[therealMrMackem]

Lenny before he got old and fat! Nanette Newman cor!

[Drwhofan1971]

the heineken ad is the best one

[TLPhoto1]

At least the people in the voice-overs actually had proper diction in those days!

[Elvenheim]

isn't that Maggie Smith at 4:08 (mostly known as Minerva Mc Gonagall in Harry Potter)?

[gordongate]

actually i choose to remember her from

the original whicker man.

sod that kids book cheese.

[niftynige24]

nanette newman over the sink.oh how times change

[ZoeClash]

Christ on a bike! Its just an opinion. Look at that language!!

[miniroll32]

This was an age were adverts actually "advertised" products.

[bonzo874]

nanette newman xxx

[herrloop]

Maxwell advertising a 'fair and equal' cash competition...

[TheGizmo1971]

yep funny is it not has it turns out he can not swim to well ((LOL))

[Evsusername]

Red Dwarf backup computer QUEEG 500!!!!

[iamafish400]

*points* QUEEG! At 6:27

And Colin from Brittas Empire XD

[dancingduade]

Did anyone notice how thin that Argos catalogue was, what an unpleasant shirt Lenny Henry had and the thieving Robert Maxwelol. Liked the Heineken advert.

[SamPD2]

Hey! Not all of us yanks are asshole like wizzlesticks CokeColaForTheWin.

Gah, there are so many asshole yanks

these days that it is a mircle to find one

that speaks proper english.

[wizzlesticks]

This confirm the British have NEVER been good at marketing! ;)

[Emmamoo]

Oh why can't they do tubes any more?!

[cailingaelach1970]

Thanks for posting, what year are they from? Brings back memories. Nanette Newman must have since got herself a dishwasher.

[Applemask]

7.45: It's The Cabbage Family!

[djjoff]

I'm going to look rather sad for remebering this, but has anyone got an advert for Mira showers, that had a family singing a limerick about the showers that went: "The was a young family from Crewe, who said only a Mira will do. I like the way you can vary the spray, it's simple to work and safe too! Doo ba dee doo ba dee doo!

[esjay1910]

Hah - I remember Nannette Newman's Very Long Garden Party! She's a lady with a lot of friends.

And a lot of garden.

And Peter Egan (from Ever Decreasing Circles & Joint Account - yes, proper 80's quality), the man who did the voice over for nearly all the adverts in the 80's...

[mutley26]

Bob Maxwell guaranteeing fairness and equality in matters of finance???

LOL!

[thej2man]

lol 3:17 endownment mortgage - good luck to anyone missold one of those. btw is nanette newman the first ever milf.

[clownface29]

LMAO everytime he eats one of those crisps at 7:00, and his eyes go all crazy. hahaha

[rjbride]

love Maxwell's smirk when he says fair and equal chance.Kellogs start was revolting.

[FRANKIESHANOWSKIY2K0]

kellogs start what a great cereal

i loved it as a kid and it is a shame that

they disscontinued it they did the same with tubes and loads of others that was featured in this video but the whisper bar made a comeback though.

frankie smales

(retro tv ad fan)

[CherryGarrard]

I bought Kelloggs Start in Tesco's just the other day.

[ijay22]

very nice ass 21 seconds

[Cathain78]

Come back Kellogs Start!

[shazeroon]

yeah that is deffo michael burns at 3:00! Well spotted!!

[PenisBoat]

why are they all speaking in a horrible queens english?

[arglwyddanfradwrus]

Hmm, Robert Maxwell going on about a 'fair and equal chance'... like the 'fair and equal chance' that Mirror Group employees got to their pensions, aye? :P

[webbhead92]

Blimey, that was a short ad break. These days we get a program break halfway through the adverts.

[wowwows]

lol 7:35

[rethonn]

any one notice the guy fishing at 3:00 is Michael Burns the guy who played Colin Weatherby in the The Brittas Empire which had Chris Barrie who played rimmer in red dwarf?

[tcsilver]

[RodCow]

And see if you can spot the bird who sang on a few Stones records circa 1968-69.

[gummybits]

Our rates are competitive sukka!

I spotted Queeg, do i win anything?

[Jerraph]

Ha ha!

Robert Maxwell: 'I guarantee you'll all get a fair and equal chance'

....unless you've got a Mirror group pension...

[emmyjo720]

@Jerraph Robert Maxwell the thieving bastard.

And I noticed the Barclays ads for easy loans too. Only have to look at 80's ads to see why were are in such a finacial mess now.

[BuddyFantastic]

@Jerraph LOL!!!! i found that advert kinda ironic too

[Jerraph]

Yes, I always have a bowl of start when I'm running in Colorado.

[weba28]

LOL @ old £5 notes @2:50

[bthomehub2]

I'm as fortunate as Russell and Tracey :)

[ITW84]

[mclevey]

Hmm. Does look a bit like him.

[bowmasta]

[mattf1986ut]

haha it is aswell

[gothika182]

that ad where the American is playing tennis is bullshit, Americans are too fat to do fast sports

[warklantd]

I'll assume your somewhere in Western Europe. If that's the case, your obesity rating is almost exactly the same as ours. Idiot

[tom1984uk]

Americans fuck off we do brush our teeth

[richardsweden]

@tom1984uk ha ha PMSL - they cant be bothered to brush - they just bleach and eat all the time.

[3dsmaxmaster]

@tom1984uk And we are not obese neither!

[blingblinginyaface]

@tom1984uk americans - -fuck off anyway!!!

[lexiconofskin165]

@tom1984uk bullshit u fkn brit

[AsharyAsh]

Ok... the first one... Can any one say Tide?

[Raiko101]

Thankfully it became little smarter and a little more racially and ethnically aware.

[thej2man]

lol 30 years later and lenny henry is still in shite tv ads

[bodnotbod]

Bloody great to see those again,

[speakeasy365]

Jesus it's Robert Maxwell at the end there... saying something about guaranteeing millions... oh the irony...

[Coaldoggie]

7:17 that's one bizarre ad lol

[kairaa]

Is that Rowan Atkinson in the beer advert?

[matt1234567809]

OMG......

[matknny]

lol seen dickings from from town lol

[creon5]

That fairy add is so dumb... it just depends how much you put in... nothing to do with how pro fairy is. If you tip the whole fuckin bottle in the it dosent last long then does it.

[SGUK123]

oh bless you

It was more about newmans arse then that

However FAIRY still rocks

[boywoolner]

One bladed razors? Thems were the days!

[tubelev]

"razzle dazzle" is this somehow related to "4 shizzle ma nizzle" ?

[geography27]

Hey it's Nannette Newman, Emma Forbes' mum with the Fairy Liquid. Is that Holly Aird in the Macleans advert, if not, she looks like her! I remember the Standard Life advert, really sweet :-) Oh, Robert Maxwell in these ads too, I wonder what happened to him! Extracting money off gullible newspaper readers in this advert, then ripping off old people, then... etc etc

[eddyiluvyou102938]

what the fuck r u on about mate?

[geography27]

It's rude to swear at people.

I wouldn't worry about what I'm on about, it's not that important. Some people will know what I'm on about and some people won't know what I'm on about.

[s3ansk1]

smiths crisps mmmmmmmm i miss those

[VengaboysRbackINtown]

I KNOW I KNOW!!!!! It's Lesley Ash isn't it!!

[Dn2kproductions]

the heiniken advert was the best where the guy said "look out!" and slapped her in the face, things like that always get my funny bone xD

[movingtarget1978]

Shocking objectification of women in the Daz ad. She has got a fantastic arse though

[wirbel9]

Could anyone tell me what are the greatest TV ads in British? Or funniest TV ads?

[Dn2kproductions]

there was a tv show about it... "100 greatest tv adverts" something like that look it up

[Samael78]

only one blade on the razor? how ever did we manage to shave in under an hour!

[kingligger]

Just wait a couple of years, There won't be enough room between your nose and your top lip to fit all the blades in on the one someones probably working on now. Ahh bring back the Bic. At least you only cut yourself once

[rocko3112]

[crocksta]

[choc113]

I bet the baby with the "house" and "car" etc really has both now:) God makes me feel old

[mothmish]

HAHHA!!!

So... basically loaded with sugar?

[Spanner50]

I think it's ageing, but I'm finding myself more sexually attracted to Nanette Newman than I did when I was 10.

I love seeing Robert Maxwell, of all people, assuring viewers that his organisation is above any sort of underhand goings-on.
