You can’t open with Leslie Neilsen I’m already crying 🤣
-
The 90s. Back when ads made you actually want to buy a product. In 2024 it can be a mystery what the advert is for, or instead of wanting the product their own ad makes you want to boycott it - even if you already were buying it lol
-
When adverts were better than the programmes. Jake Wood with super noodles 😂😂😂
-
Fun fact, Johnny English was based on those BarclayCard adverts Rowan Atkinson did between 91-97

I was a teenager in the 90s; this was a real reminiscence. It was really weird how some of these seemed super familar. Almost as if they were on TV about a year or two ago. Scary how quickly time flies! I still think of the Millenium as recent history...it's almost a quarter of a century ago! The fact we still remember these shows you the power of good advertising and why companies spend so much on it. A real flash from the past. Cheers!
-
The Alka Seltzer one gets my vote.
-
Bril!. When ads were worth watching! 🤣 Nuff said!.
-
you know you're old when your remember most of those.
-
We don’t get adverts like this anymore because there is no one place to watch them. We are all scattered over a digital universe that instead of raising quality has only served to hide it under unknown rocks we will never find.
-
The Tango advert is fabulously mad... ending in three harrier jump jets. Glorious.
-
Great choices Patrick !
-
When these were on tv couldn’t wait till they ended. But now they’re great to watch again
-
That Tango advert was the real catalyst for brexit.

I lived in England for 3 months in the fall of 1990. The English Civil War Weetabix commercial is hands down my all time favorite. “They had their Weetabix!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
-
I never understood that impulse advert as a teen, but now! 😂😂
-
Come on SEBASTIAN! Get your arse down to the white cliffs for a square-off!
-
Leslie Nielsen - best dead-pan delivery in the business.
-
5:50 “Take over for a boff, would you, moment?” 😂
-
Excellent. Reminds me of the olden times when you knew what an advert was for & it made the product appealing.
-
The yellow pages one, definitely remember it. Very good.
