OK there's been threads here in the past on TV adverts which you either liked or hated.

How about old TV adverts you would'nt mind seeing repeated? For me it has to the the one of the old guy trekking from bookshop to bookshop looking for a book only to find it eventually through the Yellow Pages "My name? Oh it's......." then that contented smile on his face.....unforgettable!

The classic Cadburys Fudge advert :eek:, though I doubt it would go down well in today's culture.

The Carling Black Label ads, particularly the one where the Old Spice music starts playing and a surfer crashes into the pub on a wave and asks for a pint of aftershave.

Campcrusader · 25/10/10 - 16:41

The 'Shake n' vac' ad with the lady!

Hobbit Feet · 25/10/10 - 16:41

Another classic

Venus in Furs - Dunlop ad

The Woodpecker cider one about the ducks doing an Apoclypse Now
The Radio Rentals one about the heavy metal band's mansion (shown from th television's point of view)
The Yellow Pages one about the aftermath of the party (the guy's expression at the end's worthy of wall paper itself)
The Humphreys ones (the straws)
The Smash robots
The Listerine dragon ones

[Deleted User] · 25/10/10 - 16:47

Chocolate Orange/Indiana Jones

You know when you've been Tango'd.

UKMikey · 25/10/10 - 16:51

Munchies early nineties campaign ("Stone me...")

Funniest recent advert for me is the Pot Noodle Sticky Rib one.

[Deleted User] · 25/10/10 - 16:56

I vote shake and vac too! I still catch myself singing that tune every now and then when doing the hoovering!

Also I used to love the yellow pages ad where the guy scratches some antique table and then finds a specialist to make the scratch disappear like nothing had happened. I was fascinated by that ad as a kid for some reason. I thought, what a fantastic job to have, getting rid of peoples scratches.

Fruitella.. "imagine for a moment, la la, real fruit and chewy as (pause) Fruit-e----llaaaaaaaa..."

My mum would never buy shake and vac - and I remember once covering a carpet in talcum powder whilst singing the song - mum was not best pleased!

Here's the ad for anyone too young to remember it!

Both of those two are like landmark sort of OCD sounds and images that get looped in my mind sometimes. F*cking weird you mentioned those two.

"French polishers? You might just save my life!"

I loved the Hamlet ads, the Woolies Winter Wonderland ones, and the Leonard Rossiter and Joan Collins flogging Campari. Classics.

ETA: "I'm a secret lemonade drinker." There was a brilliant cinema one in the last few years where a mini 'jumped over' the rest of the trailers - superb.

EATA: "Can you tell me the way to Cockfosters?" "Sure, mate; serve it warm."

Charcole911 · 25/10/10 - 17:30

the shake and vac ad was 70's but ran well into the 90's if I recall.

The first and last advert in this bunch, the first makes mcdonalds classy, the last ones were great, for a company called Lunn Poly. Get away! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsRwugv6R2Q&feature=related

Also - you want it your way at bk - you got it!

and this has the famous Glens Hutchison Robertson and Stepek jingle (known best in Scotland)
