firbeck 859 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 No songs, no catchwords, the current Hovis advert is amazing, look out for it, I reckon it's the best advert I've ever seen, along with the Smirnoff ad with the Lancs and stuff coming out of the sea, and I hate the bloody adverts, they drive me mad, I try and watch any BBC channel to avoid this crap, it's appalling and often insulting to whatever you are watching.

firbeck 859 Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Being swayed by the advert, my parents had a Cyril Lord carpet put down the stairs and landing in 1963. Luxury you could afford!!!!! You bet, the bloody thing is as perfect now as was when it was delivered, despite being abused by teenagers and the associated vomit, wasn't that his problem, luxury you could afford but not his manufacturing base, didn't they go bust because their quality really was too good for the price. The advert that really wants me to kick in the telly at the moment is that grinning little Oriental bloke with the unfortunate haircut, transferring to our loveable amatuer Halifax Bank manager pretending to surf and sing at the same time, I hope they both drown. Have they got no sensibilities to keep showing this crap at this time, who do Halifax think they are, do they reckon that our sad grinning friendly pals will keep the world economy alive. Ever been to Halifax by the way, how to prove a point by destroying a lovely Victorian town with an overblown self indulgent piece of self opinionated crap of a naff building, I'd sooner get a mortgage from the Pykies down the road.

Scriv 168 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Does anyone remember the batch of really low-budget "local" adverts that used to come on; usually for furniture or second-hand car dealers and the like? They all seemed to be businesses in Cradley Heath or somewhere like that. The best ads of all were the ones for Heineken and Hamlet cigars; my favourite was the spoof of the Andrex ad where the bloke goes into the outside "thunderbox", the bog-roll drops under the door and the puppy runs off with it...... cue striking match, puff of smoke through peep-hole in door, and Handel's Air on the G String.

Joy James 10 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 One of the very first ads from ATV was of an animated one of a striped shirt waister dress, standing up on a swing. An angelic soprano voice comes over singing; Colmans rice starch Colmans rice starch Colmans starch is right for you It brings your clothes up bright and new You'll always look smart with Colmans starch! Oooh, I can still hear it......don't forget the fruit gums mum! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

barclaycon 569 Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Amazing how we can remember these adverts from over 50 years ago and yet the stuff that's currently on our screens we can't remember 5 minutes later. Mind you, so many people (including myself) don't even see adverts anymore. They are so irritating and the ad-breaks so long, that I either switch to another channel or whizz past at 32x on the video box. I wonder if anyone can help me trace a TV advert from the early 60's ? I have been trying to identify it for years. It was a kind of low quality animation and I think was for a Building Society or Life Insurance. The figure in the cartoon wraps a wall around himself and knocks on it - saying: 'With the security of the building society around you'. Might even have been Richard Briers doing the voice-over. There was something about interest on your savings and he'd say: Whch is very interesting ! Ring any bells with anyone ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
