That Wine Gums one has been inexplicably and rather wonderfully re-introduced into our lives. Can we have the R Whites Lemonade one back please too? Perhaps even a house version of the song?

^ Yes
and bring back the old flavours whilst they're at it
spooky spider ftw
There's a video in our house
that's so old it has an advert for Walker's Crisps...WITHOUT GARY FUCKING LINAKER IN IT.
Possibly the best advert ever:
Old school Woodpecker Cider advert from the early 90s......

^ exactly what I was about to post
MAXWELL HOUSE FLYING SAUCER AND CUP
(i think it was maxwell house?)
real classic shizz that was!
WOW REMEMBER THAT
ADVERT BACK THEN, AND THERE WAS A GUY IT WAS REALLY FUNNY, MAN I MISS THE OLD DAYS. ADVERTS! NOTHING BETTER THAN ADVERTS!
fUCK.
I've turned into Prole.
You know what is worse than nostalgia?
Setting up a scenario by which a poor man is duped into watching you take a shit.
Ah,
I remember that succesful duping scenario. Happy days.
That ad for Oasis fruit drink stuff
with Frank Butcher.
Fuck yeah

Carling adverts used to rule....
especially this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuIJqF8av6I
The Trebor mighty mints advert with the puppet show
and the dancing. That was good.
93 per-fucking-cent peanuts!
He likes a bit of this/that

3 mins too late!
And what's more
a while ago I was watching some excellent film taped off the telly in the 80s (possibly Explorers or the Go-Kids) and there was this mega-gay 7up advert starring Joey out of Freinds.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir0Y11T9rFQ
?this
is priceless.
Way down deep in the middle of the Congo....

What about the one where a really grumpy northern bloke
buys his son that 'state of the art' racer bike, then looks through the window (unbeknownst to his son), as his son admires his new Raleigh Equipe, and says....
"I still think that seat looks like a rarezur blaird!"
Fucking classic.
I believe he says: "I was right about that saddle, though."
Yellow Pages, I think it was.
Yeah he does actually.
The razor blade bit was before when his son was looking at the catalogue.
THE HOVIS ONE WITH THE GUY ON A BIKE WHO NEARLY FALLS OFF
The shot on that advert where it is overlooking
the picturesque Shropshire (?) village, was actually filmed in Gillingham (dorset). FACT.
This is true, I have an ex in that village
WEST COUNTRY FACT!
Ridley "Alien" Scott FTW.
I forgot that.
The Apple Mac advert from 1984 announcing its arrival.
After shooting it Ridley Scott asked what Apple was anyway. He claims he was told (with some outrage) "It's a goddamn computer company!"
I swear I was onlu about 3 when this was around...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYuIeufKoeo
but remember it like it was yesterday...
What about the old
OXO gravy ad's with the family from way back when.
I'M AN OFFICE WORKER so can't post a youtube link.
The old Wine Gums advert is indeed greet
as is the old Mr Soft advert for soft mints! Bring it back!
Look!

Ah yeah. There was an urban legend in the day that was Blur doing that song.
It did sound like them.
It was Steve Harley
you plonker
yeah!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1jywlZG74o&feature=related
that was NOT 1992
surely?
"You Know When You've Been Tangoed"
Voice of Gil Scott-Heron, fact fans.
The Bassett's Allsorts
ad where people's heads were Allsorts! Scared the shit out of me as a child
