They were definitely 1990s, but I agree they were amazing Here's one and another one
I like the Trio adverts (actually I'm a 1990s kid but Trios were still on sale in the early part of the Decade and they still sang the song around my primary school, though I don't know if they were still on the air at that time.)
I used to love all the 80s coca cola adverts, think it was to do with my fascination of America. Does anyone else recall the coffee advert where a couple are hosting a dinner party and when the wife goes to make the coffee she starts imitating a coffee machine.

Oh god yes, those old coke ads. As a 9/10 year old I thought they were sexy as hell all those good looking young people covered in sweat gulping back a ice cold bottle of translucent coke. Yum.
Do you recall that song 'Coke is it'? it became a chart topper called 'For the very first time' in 1988.
Loving the responses so far. Keep them coming.:) It goes to show that ad slogans and jingles really work, I can still remember the song to that milk ad from the mid 80s 'the way we're living today....still gotta lotta bottle, gotta lotta bottle, gotta lotta bottle
The original coco pops monkey 'Coco pops, bunny hops, mrs mops..'
Woolworth's Christmas adverts (the long versions lol) .... might have been early 80's late 70's. They always made me get excited about Christmas, (how sad).
Weetabix, with the skinhead weetabixes: 'Okay?'
Britvic, with the singimg barmen: 'But me name's Kevin!'
Chewits, with the Godzilla-like giant monster.
Lenny Henry, Square Crisps: 'It's weird!' (,remember him seeming to grow as he waked across the room, so he has to crawl out of the door)
Do It All: with the rock and roll song, 'How do Do It All do it?'
That one with the mime artist from kids' show Jigsaw advertising camera film (,before digital cameras, kids). I found it funny when he looked at a picture of big women's boobs in a bikini, then you saw him shield his eyes with both hands, his face painted bright red!
There were quite a few different 'tasty, tasty, very very tasty' Bran Flake adverts. I looked on YouTube and found one with both Belinda Lang and Gordon Kaye in it. He was one of the waiters and she was sitting at the table eating the Bran Flakes I'd forgotten that particular version.
Fruit n Fibre - at the campsite
Coco Pops - building blocks...
Birds Eye Alpha Bites - A is for Alpha, B is for bites, C for yourself that they taste just right, D is for dinner, E is for eggs.....
Reading some of these I have to wonder whether in 30 years we'll be similarly nostalgic about the likes of "Dave, you're so MoneySupermarket"...somehow I doubt it

Fewer catchy, punchy jingles. More art-house shorts, or attempts to be quirkily surreal.
Was the 'hope it's chips' advert the one with the workmen in a van? Bird's Eye Steakhouse
It was indeed (to the tune of Que Sera, Sera) and was even re-used in the early 90s some ten years after it first aired.
I remember one where the father comes through from the kitchen, announces that "we're having chicken" and the entire sitting room goes beserk, including granny fainting in her chair. Two old dears passing outside see what's going on, one turns to the other and says "They're having chicken."
I also remember the Texaco Star Tokens ad from 1986 when a motorist filling his car notes that it's full of glasses and says that he'll scream if he ever sees another glass. He is duly given one by the assistant and screams loudly, so loud in fact that all glass in the vicinity shatters apart from the one on the counter. When he gets home he goes to put his car in the garage - and a load of glasses start falling out.
Can't believe nobody's mentioned one of the most iconic ones 'Fly fishing, by JR Hartly' this advert actually used to move me as a kid, the piano music that accompanied it was also very poignant. i believe it was aired into the 90s ?

From YouTube browses, I like the Ariston ads and this rather disturbing Micro Chips ad
Red Mountain.
There's a whole thread about it here

'First time, first love. It's the very first kiss...'
I was in my first year of my degree when that charted. A lad in my hall sang, 'First w*nk, first spunk. It's the very first come'!:D

I know him as Penny's dad in Just Good Friends
The Nescafé ads with Gareth Hunt making that often imitated hand gesture
Just try and say Mattesson's without saying Mmmmm
Bird's Eye Potato Waffles waffly versatile. Grill 'em, bake 'em, fry 'em, eat 'em.

Exactly!
Yay! I loved that
The guy in the advert is called Carl Rice. He's in Sky's Comedy, Trollied.
Noodle-doodles
Heinz baked beans and burger bites
Suuupernaturals (hologram figures)

I didn't know it was him! I'll have to YouTube the advert now, it didn't register that guy from Trollied was the boy from that advert.
