I just need to post this to perk up a wee chumlette

and it got me wondering, what are the all time great ads? I was always fond of the 'watch out, watch out, there's a Humphrey about...' ones back in the day (sucks on pipe...) and more recently the Carlsberg ones. Not that they made me buy milk (ewww) or lager.

Anyone have childhood memories of, um, advertising...?

I used to think the child safety videos were hilarious.

"MRAOW MRAOW MRAOW"
"My cat Charlie says you shouldn't talk to strangers"


and then the kid would give the cat a fish and he'd regurgitate a fishy skeleton. Haha!

Good shout, haps. Relive those moments...

On a sort of related theme - the bicycle safety video.

#Make it bold, make it bright# etc etc.

Guaranteed to get you beaten up at school if anybody ever heard you hum it.

Thanks missus, worth a rofl or two

As far as my faves are concerned: Joe and Petunia rock! Oh yeah and something about not playing with a frisbee near an electricity sub-station. Public Information Fillum linky: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/film ... _films.htm

This one:

Only because it annoys the hell out of my wife......

this is one of my faves i still giggle when i remember it

'ave it....


I loved all these Peter Kay ads, but unfortunately, couldn't remember which product he was advertising. Perhaps I'm just not very open to advertising...

There was a Dairylea ad that had me in stitches a few years back, it wasn't about very long. It could've been because the slogan was unintentionally pure filth. Or at least it was if your mind occasionally occupies the gutter.

Should have remembered this when Marty got his GCSE results....except he didn't get an ology

I work at good 'ol BT, that's a retro ad!

This has to be my fav BT ad...

Anyone seen the new Peter Kay one, where he's at the Antiques Roadshow? It's as brilliant as the other lot. John Smith's, i shall remember it now!
