Welcome to my channel GrubcoTV, dedicated to the some of the best classic Australian television commercials from the 1980s (and also some recent stuff too).
For this collection, I have ripped hundreds of VHS video cassettes recorded by my family up to 30 years ago (see my channel pic), producing a total of more than 650 clips.
My previous channel, GrubcoTV, had about 90% of this collection before being shutdown, losing the lot! I should have given up... but instead I returned with this channel, and this collection! (which is bigger and more successful than the previous channel ever was - thanks to all of you!)
If you like classic TV commercials from a different simpler time (the 80s) then I hope you will enjoy my collection as much as I did making it.
If you like what you see, Subscribe or Friend me, but I apologise in advance if I'm late to accept you (I don't always check in here every day).
As of July 2010 I declared my work done... but in October 2011 I have found some more ads which I am uploading now.
PS Please do not ask for original source copies of anything here. Also I do not possess high quality originals, just what you see here.

Hi all. Despite my recent announcement that more ads would be on the way, it appears I've already reached the end. Since I first ripped all my family's old VHS tapes (many years ago), most of them have now been either erased, taped-over, or thrown out (all except for tape #1 which we left intact as it was the first cassette and taping made, back in 1981). Since most old movies can now be downloaded or rented+copied, there was further need for hundreds of big old plastic video cassettes. So that's THE END. Sorry.
(My regular State Of Origin clips will be back, and anything else big that happens).

Good news! I have uncovered some more old ads! Exactly how many is uncertain*. Basically when I started all this, I skipped many ads on the first few cassettes as at that time I only wanted the classic ads I remembered - but soonafter I decided to just copy all the ads from the tapes. I've often thought about going back to those first few tapes to get those overlooked ads, but was too lazy... until now! So here they are (a few at a time) *= at this time I've only ripped cassette #1.

Some more State Of Origin clips posted, from game 3. I had planned to make a tribute clip (with metal soundtrack) for the Blues' victory... but that (still) didn't happen. At least I can say, when we lose, that on the night the game was the real winner - and I'm saying that A LOT these days.

Hi. I just finished editing my clips from State Of Origin 2011 game 1. Some great highlight packages there. I'll do the same for games 2 & 3 too. And if we win, I'll make an awesome tribute clip too (but I wouldn't hold your breath for that one - let's see...)
