My brother had the Steve Austin figure. You guys are correct about the simpler, happier times. It was the greedy Yuppie culture of the 1980s that started the rot.
And don't forget Cancer. Not one hour will go by without a cancer ad. Makes you wonder why, think it, believe it, make it happen. Mind is a powerful thing in the wrong hands
6:04 That hoover... my parents had one, I thought as a kid It was technology beyond time... my dad used to push the thing about not my mum, I used to enjoy the little bag full indicator and It just reminded me of a Thunderbirds machine... lovely 70's brown, filled with cat hair and biscuit crumbs
I liked some adverts, I was only a little girl then but I can remember my friends mom trying to dance like the woman on the Shake'n Vak advert, then my dad sung the song to R,White's lemonade advert saying he was a secret lemonade drinker! You can't do the Shake'n Vak and put the freshness back anymore now can you?
Anyone notice how it's the jeans adverts that are the most dynamic and stylistically cool of adverts and probably many directed by the likes of Ridley Scott who did the famous Hovis ad and went on to direct Alien in 79? Love to know the names of some of the directors who did the same and went on to become big names in cinema.
When adverts were simple and did what they said on the tin. No subliminal messaging, no woke nonsense. I miss the more innocent times, bought back memories of childhood into my teens! Remember Unigate milk floats and Humphrey as in ' watch out watch out there's a Humphrey about.'
Back then it did... 20 years later, it seemed like nothing to me. And now, 20-odd years after that, £4.99 makes me think "Cripes, I could eat for three days on that, I can't afford to waste it on toys!" =:o\
I used to love watching Six Million Dollar Man so in 1977 my mam bought me all the toys for Christmas.My mam was weird That's a clever advert for Fosters too. Goods old K-Tel...they don't make useless rubbish as good as that anymore
Yes we think technology is new when it's been around for years! These new Audis on which the LED lights for the rear indicators start near the number plate and then sequentially light up to the edge of the car. They were first used on the 1970's Ford Thunderbird! ...And retractable convertible hardtops were first used on the Ford Skyliner in 1958!
Walter Murphy's "Emergency" was used for this ad for _The Six Million Dollar Man._ Back here in America, it was best known for an animation on _Sesame Street_ about crossing the street.
Ahhhhhhh memories back in the day when men were men and women were grateful lol children’s toys were powered by children’s imagination and not WiFi. Yes I would go back in a heartbeat
Jesus Christ, they spent six million dollars rebuilding Steve Austin, but couldn't afford to give him a decent haircut? Well, that was the Seventies for you
What a great little trip down memory lane. I had the bionic man toy and the lone ranger figure. Sadly the kids of today have no real interest in these types of toys anymore. Its computers phones and iPods. There childhood has been taken away .
A Toblerone for the bright spark who can recall the actors who's deep baritone voices were used so often... Wrangler and Brutus ads etc? Anyone spot the voice for the Tic Tac adverts? Stanley Baxter!
I'm wondering if a lot of these were cinema ads as I really don't remember them on tv, and I used to watch a lot of tv back then. Cavalier trrousers ???!
was a kid back then,!! born 1968,!! getten pocket money back then , was like most 50p !! if lucky !! so could not get some of the toys was like 4.99, etc : ! lol,, not like are kids now ,
@@Eleventhearlofmars Yeah, slip a couple fingers through the scratchy brambles, and you find what feels like a pocket full of warm slugs. You jump a bit, pull your hand back. "What is it?" she says . . . . . "Fucked if I know" you reply. "But If you pass me that hammer there, I'll help you kill it!"
Patrick Mower with Babycham and a couple of birds. Carole Augustine in the Manikin ad. Maybe the worst of the series. What I'd give for those K-Tel LPs nowadays - great compilations. Don't recall 'Hamilton's Hotshots' at all. Warwick were a part of CBS.
K-Tel, you have to love 'em! I still own and use their Back of the Knee viewer: £2.59 in 1978. Love Wogan's trousers - tho they come a poor second to those in the Hoover ad. The Mowerman was a pussy magnet, advertising Babycham he should have been smoking a Maniken.
N Gauge England: Why? Are you concerned that you are unable to drink in moderation? I drink alcohol in such a way that I am in complete control so what gives you the right to control my alcohol consumption?
toys for us kids back then, was £4.99, etc,, & as a kid only got like 50p as pocket money if some times a week if lucky , born 1968,! so as a kid could not get some toys back then,!! but was great times,,! not like are kids now,!!!
70's were great apart from that dam carpet grit..i recall Mum screaming at Dad over it..so glad we dont have it today..imagine self isolation with carpet grit as well
Don't be rude. She was just acting as she was told in these ads and she was beautiful. Her name was Carole Augustine. She was murdered in 1975 aged 22.
I grew up in the 70s hated them fashions horrible😝😝 hated awful flared trousers everyone was racist and homophobic and naive no ..80s 90s much better .
Ooh such simpler, happier times. When Jimmy Saville could prey on children undetected and people were hawked cheap tat for their hard-earned wage on TV every night.
@@Witheredgoogie wait, are you actually trying to defend Jimmy Savile just to keep the illusion of your childhood nostalgia alive? Perverse and desperate.
@@carlcarlson983 Every time I come across a clip from the TV past there is somebody tut tutting and virtue signaling about Jimmy Savile.He has been dead for a decade FFS.We were promised proof (ie evidence) of what he was supposed to have done 10 years ago..so far absolutely nothing. All this conspiracy stuff about the BBC turning a blind eye to their presenters' behaviour when sports star Frank Bough (who has just died) was fired from the BBC after being found in a whore house snorting cocaine.So where is the Savile smoking gun?

Fabulous! This is why we need TH-cam! Thanks for uploading! ❤️🙂
These adverts are a reflection of the times....laidback, glorious and elders were respected.
Very good 1970's British Adverts classics!!
Cannot help think that it would be great to go on holiday to a park that was 70's themed...
Sounds wonderful. If only
These were good days no mobile phone adverts or insurance adverts.
That 'Rock n rollers' (no? Me neither) ad must have kick-started a few epileptic fits back in the day...
My brother had the Steve Austin figure.
You guys are correct about the simpler, happier times. It was the greedy Yuppie culture of the 1980s that started the rot.
I totally agree, I think that started everything going down the pan, it's All Crap now
Every generation talks that way
I remember every single one of these adverts 👍🏻 lovely simple times ❤️
Flares, flares and more flares..some of them chequered. The 70s a class of their own. Good times
"it's a Sunday" haha imagine shop's opening on a Sunday.
A happier, less cynical , less paranoid time.
I'm glad I grew up then.
Good old days wish i was back there with what i know now
A much more optimistic time too.
Unfortuately, Lenny Henry was around then. Like a bad smell. still hanging around today where he fits the scene.
I miss the 70's i hate the time i live in now.
So do I, I think most of us feel the same way , it's awful now
These adverts where better than the crap ones now. It's all funeral plans PPI and life insurance.
And don't forget Cancer. Not one hour will go by without a cancer ad. Makes you wonder why, think it, believe it, make it happen. Mind is a powerful thing in the wrong hands
@@davesmith-rs1yo I forgot about the cancer adds. Plus endless car adverts.
!@@garyowens1517 Cancer is a brand now, its almost like, hay well done, yea cancer! And mobile phone Ads lol
@@simonrobbins8357 I'm 58. I've had loads of those too. Pain in the arse
Oh, the memories! Two ads with Terry Wogan - as the exerciser voiceover and the Electrolux vacuum cleaner...
6:04 That hoover... my parents had one, I thought as a kid It was technology beyond time... my dad used to push the thing about not my mum, I used to enjoy the little bag full indicator and It just reminded me of a Thunderbirds machine... lovely 70's brown, filled with cat hair and biscuit crumbs
We had one too. The retractable cord mechanism worked twice before breaking.
Do you remember the song? We used to sing," All the dirt, all the grit and even bits of shit, Hoover beats as it sweeps as it cleans."
I liked some adverts, I was only a little girl then but I can remember my friends mom trying to dance like the woman on the Shake'n Vak advert, then my dad sung the song to R,White's lemonade advert saying he was a secret lemonade drinker! You can't do the Shake'n Vak and put the freshness back anymore now can you?
Loving the Hoover advert....I still have a Hoover Senior...still in great shape (unlike myself) and in daily use.....
Anyone notice how it's the jeans adverts that are the most dynamic and stylistically cool of adverts and probably many directed by the likes of Ridley Scott who did the famous Hovis ad and went on to direct Alien in 79?

No adds for mobile phones or internet!!! Those were the best days!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mum's still got the hit machine 22 record.
Not quite sure why the woman on the Cigar advert speaks like someone out of 1000.000 years BC but shes bloody gorgeous
I remember it well
The days when a milkman delivered our milk :)
And they also delivered other white creamy stuff. Usually to stay at home mums.
Still do here!
And he got a Christmas box every year too!
@Tommy Robinson I know, I was one back in the 70s. Got a bunch of selection boxes every christmas too.
@Tommy Robinson Same, and the big one was the Radio Times run. I was only getting 10p a week pocket money, so earning £1.50 was incredible for me.
When adverts were simple and did what they said on the tin. No subliminal messaging, no woke nonsense. I miss the more innocent times, bought back memories of childhood into my teens! Remember Unigate milk floats and Humphrey as in ' watch out watch out there's a Humphrey about.'
Wonderful times were'nt they.
I used to have a few Humphrey stickers on my rough book at secondary school in 1977 , miss those days so much, happy happy...
I had the bionic man! It's strange to think that, back then, £4.99 seemed expensive for a toy. I was absolutely chuffed when I got it for Christmas.
Back then it did... 20 years later, it seemed like nothing to me. And now, 20-odd years after that, £4.99 makes me think "Cripes, I could eat for three days on that, I can't afford to waste it on toys!" =:o\

That's a clever advert for Fosters too.
Goods old K-Tel...they don't make useless rubbish as good as that anymore
Just seen an advert for Ktel - the brand has been resurrected 👍
Cor blimey you was rich I was born in 1979 and there was no way my parents would be able to afford the latest toys
HA !! 😂 😆
Such innocent days....good ol days😊
~ The Black Watch by Sinclair looks like the grandfather of Fitbit. Very historical and sociologically interesting commercials. Cheers, DAVEDJ ~

Thanks lots! I loved the Rock'n'Rollers (crisps) ad. Sounds great still. :)
Walter Murphy's "Emergency" was used for this ad for _The Six Million Dollar Man._ Back here in America, it was best known for an animation on _Sesame Street_ about crossing the street.
I'm off to town tomorrow to get me a pair of those cavalier trousers.
vordman those cavalier kecks were great because if you got pissed off waiting for a bus you could have a game of 0s and Xs on them.🤣
I'm going to buy the TV Times it's only 10p.
Get me a couple of pairs while you're there, mate.😉
Ahhhhhhh memories back in the day when men were men and women were grateful lol children’s toys were powered by children’s imagination and not WiFi. Yes I would go back in a heartbeat
Those were the days now we live in a very sick society what the hell happened to Britain
Britain's as good as its always been, you're watching to much news mate
You just weren't aware of the sickness back then. It's called being young.
Those Lone Ranger and Tonto where great quality toys
Who was that masked man?
Oddjob6120 Lol..Hong Kong Phooey No1 superguy.....
The only ones I ever saw were the pass me downs..with arms or legs missing..quite poor but happy back then
great adverts, crackin tunes!
The Fosters ad, no Sunday opening
Jesus Christ, they spent six million dollars rebuilding Steve Austin, but couldn't afford to give him a decent haircut? Well, that was the Seventies for you
=:oD
The clothes were abysmal (on the whole) and the vast majority of people smoked, but life was generally much better back in the 70s.
Clothes are abysmal Now, I think, Awful
I can remember the tick tack add cracking my up great stuff no pc tell it like it is
What a great little trip down memory lane. I had the bionic man toy and the lone ranger figure. Sadly the kids of today have no real interest in these types of toys anymore. Its computers phones and iPods. There childhood has been taken away .
K- tel multi exerciser
I think that's Our Terry Wogan speaking ..
Fight the flab ❤
A Toblerone for the bright spark who can recall the actors who's deep baritone voices were used so often... Wrangler and Brutus ads etc? Anyone spot the voice for the Tic Tac adverts? Stanley Baxter!
Rodney from Emmerdale flogging Babycham
Patrick Mower, he was in everything from Carry On's to detective shows.
I still have my black watch (and it works fine). Just sent that one spot made me laugh.
Hahaha just like remember it, brilliant, nothing changes.
I'm wondering if a lot of these were cinema ads as I really don't remember them on tv, and I used to watch a lot of tv back then. Cavalier trrousers ???!
Me neither!
Simpler happier time.
...For some of us, not all.
I loved my six million dollar man with the foreskin arm and I'd totally forgotten about rock n roller crisps.
most have been early 70s,, I born 1968,! don't rember any of them,!!??
K-Tel! Sums up an era. Is it still going?
I think they probably morphed into JML?
Yep, still with us. Remember K-Tel's Mr. Superbad?
Would love them to release an ad like the Manikin one at 7:15 -- just to see the Twitter meltdown.
I was so jealous of people that had steve Austin
I wanted the Lone Ranger set!
was a kid back then,!! born 1968,!! getten pocket money back then , was like most 50p !! if lucky !! so could not get some of the toys was like 4.99, etc : ! lol,, not like are kids now ,
Women in the 70s were better looking than today.
I mean 40 or so years doesn't do miracles for someone's appearance...
No Botox no teeth veneers
No fake tan no fillers no stupid
Hair colours no piercings no false eyelashes and 70s women had
Style.
mel grant no false titties, no fake bottom cheeks, no trout pout , no Brazilian shaved whatnots etc👌🏼

I think my mum had that model Electrolux vacuum cleaner advertised by Terry Wogan!
Ngl, I choked up a little when I saw that Terry Wogan commercial. Fucking cancer, taking away all our good people.
The TV Times has to 1977 if it was promoting the epic Jesus of Nazareth series.
1:05
Finally, I've found this!
I want the Lone Ranger stuff 🤣
Yeah, but check out the sadistic grin on the kid's face as the vulture swoops in for the kill...Hilarious!
New from golden wonder they're called rock and rollers. 😁😁😁😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣 and Terry Wogan's wig.😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jebuz I want a Manikin cigar! 7:14
fredo1070 Mmmmmmm.......... me too
I would have been about 12 at the time and remember that ad vividly, still got the mental picture, there were no video recorders back then
I suddenly need the urge to smoke a cigar.....
Did you notice that theytold you the price back then no under £5 crap just £4.99.
Patrick Mower with Babycham and a couple of birds.
Carole Augustine in the Manikin ad. Maybe the worst of the series.
What I'd give for those K-Tel LPs nowadays - great compilations.
Don't recall 'Hamilton's Hotshots' at all. Warwick were a part of CBS.
*carefully opens door and lets imaginary friends into Foster's*

No think its Derek Fowlds of yes minister and heartbeat
omg i love it .....
K-Tel, you have to love 'em! I still own and use their Back of the Knee viewer: £2.59 in 1978.
Love Wogan's trousers - tho they come a poor second to those in the Hoover ad.
The Mowerman was a pussy magnet, advertising Babycham he should have been smoking a Maniken.
What do people say when the ads come on....oh, blOOdy ads. Remember most of them...
The Black Watch so they named a regiment after a Sinclair watch, what about a C5 regiment?
Ah, good old days, you just cant get trousers that fit in with your lifestyle these days.
Oh, I dunno. These plain white M&S long-johns have suited my lifestyle over the last year perfectly! =:oD
I sold Tonto for £83 the other month on eBay. :)
when they banned tobacco adverts they should have banned booze ones
N Gauge England: Why? Are you concerned that you are unable to drink in moderation? I drink alcohol in such a way that I am in complete control so what gives you the right to control my alcohol consumption?
"Keep up your pecker" would never work as a slogan today, except for a male enhancement product.
dont rember the black watch,??
Old Wogan couldn't stop himself hoovering up every money-making opportunity...
When advertising was much better.
Tic tac... there's three flavours not two.
WTF with that Manikin cigar advert?
Yea I remember it first time round, I was seduced then and was only about 8!
Hoover juniors were the best
Strides for £6.95
It makes me laugh to hear english
Trying to sound american
And they say sweets
Americans say candy
