I used love Pacers. I used to eat Pacers, a Mars bar, salt and vinegar crisps with coca cola, whilst watching Battlestar Galactica back in the early 80s. Great times :)
That spearmint flavour of the chewy pacers. Nothing like it! Closest to it now in texture is probably Maoam sweets. They just need to release a mint flavour.
Voiceover David Hamilton - who’s doing the Noel Coward impression, I don’t know! I once won a fancy dress parade as The Milky Bar Kid - someone, believing me to be a fan of Westerns, had got me a cowboy outfit, and, using an old pair of my eldest sister’s glasses (with the lenses removed - her lenses are from a space telescope), put them on me and made a gun belt out of Milky Bars - which melted in the hot sun! The Milky Bars were, quite literally, on me!
Eric Duffy from the Fenn Street Gang in the one for Tunes, most deffo. There was a competition in TVTimes sometime in the late 1980s featuring that and a selection of other classic adverts.
I've had a couple of people complain about the TV frame, but overwhelmingly it's been loved, and I think it's what's drawing viewers to the videos. Glad you're enjoying them!
@David Mander Yeah, the first time I watched the first collection I made with the TV frame, I felt floods of nostalgia. I knew then it was worth doing, even if a few people don't like it.
Another one from me (sorry). I remember taking my daughter on holiday to Burton-on-Sea when she was ten, this would have been 2014. We had a week in a static caravan in a perfectly nice holiday resort), which would have been fine (if you like Burton-on-Sea, which has the world's shortest pier and is basically an estuary rather than a seaside resort, but there are various things one can do, like watching the tide go out) except it rained the whole time, and she couldn't stand the cabaret. So we basically watched TV and cooked the whole week in thi caravan, but some channel was playing non stop Carry On films. She loved them! (especially Carry on Camping, for some reason). She especially thought Kenneth Williams was very amusing. When we got home after possibly the worst holiday ever, I dug out the Pyramint advert somewhere on TH-cam and she could tell it was Kenneth Williams, she wasn't stupid, and then asked for a Pyramint. I said "well, they don't make them any more" and she was most disappointed.
Blimey, that was a blast from the past! My John was Scottish and I always sang that song to him in my head (And yes, the wine gum advert and not Lord Rockingham's nice XI). Thanks dude.
That smarties advert started a trend at my school, where we would throw smarties around the class (sometimes hitting the teacher), and when the teacher yelled, "who threw those!?" - Only smarties have the answer 😂
A snack/drinks company would increase their sales if they brought back some of their retro look. An example would be Pepsi. Their old logo, writing and colours look way better than the rubbish now.
Closest we've got to that is one or two companies releasing temporary tribute versions of their products. I think we had Marathons (aka Snickers) come back briefly a couple of years ago didn't we?
I commented on this clip but cannot find my post!😒 Cadbury's Creme Eggs ads were voiced by Frank Muir. The narration at the end of this one is David Hamilton. Cadbury's Dairy Milk jingle written by Roger Cooke / Roger Greenaway. Used to love Twix - but they were certainly not 'longer-lasting'. Not with me anyway. Bounty bars were adorable as were the adverts and their girls. Wotsits were quite nice but if you got a bag with too much flavouring..........yuk. Peter Cleall in the Tunes commercial. Softmints commercial based on the Cockney Rebel Tune 'Mr. Soft'. Crunchie - yum, yum. I used to buy Topics too - voices here are Goodies Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie. The guy voicing the Polo ad is the same one that did the Denim commercial. Yorkie - sounds like Michael Elphick. Harry Enfield in Dime commercial. One advert I vividly recall from the 70s is the Wagon Wheel one which starred Don Collier (Sam Butler from 'High Chaparral') but I have never seen it since.
Hoots man, what a Classic! Cadbury’s chocolate as it always will be… *chuckle* I like the kinder one and did as a kid, OK. That series of Wotsit adverts were so annoying! Just reminds me of the twatty boys from school. Mr Soft, so weird but brilliant! The Chewits one is really funny and inventive Jon Pertwee and maybe Bill Oddie voices in the Topic advert. Pyramint were great and a fun, memorable advert. Bacon Quavers!? Bring those back!
It's stuff that's already out there, but I fix up the a/v quality as much as possible & produce it into meaningful collections. All the details are in the about section of this channel.
Anyone else notice how the adverts back then had that quintessential englishness to em?. Nowadays that's sadly gone, the heritage is just non existant now
I do remember it first coming out when I was about 9. We all thought it was hilarious at school & everyone was doing impressions. With adult eyes now, I think it's that almost human skin quality that makes it so creepy.
The song used in the Yorkie ad at 12:56 is Ruby Baby, taken from Donald Fagen's first solo album "The Nightfly". th-cam.com/video/kbVdRGev6r8/w-d-xo.html
Interesting. TH-cam often automatically detects copyrighted song clips & gives revenue to the copyright holder - must have missed this one for some reason.
Would you happen to have or be able to get hold of the following adverts?: Walkers French Fries Stick People at Football match Clover Spread with lady having bad morning (UNEDITED) Tetley Sleeping Beauty (UNEDITED)
I don't currently have those in my reserves, and it depends entirely on what turns up, but I'll make a note of those and include them if they turn up. 👍
We were an Alpine family. I only got Corona if we couldn't get the flavour we fancied and even Ben Shaw's didn't have it in the shops. They were all very good!
The Cadbury’s ad stated “like it always will be”.......they didn’t have a crystal ball did they? Remember tie uproar a few years back when they changed the recipe and reduced the cocoa? Shameful..
Cadbury haven't changed the recipe of Dairy Milk. They are using a cheaper recipe for the chocolate in the Creme Eggs, but I don't think that ever stated made with Dairy Milk. There are some alternatives... like that Dark Milk from Cadbury, which may or may not be cheaper ingredients.

No one who was a child back then could forget that Kinder advert! Its a memory scar that cannot be healed!
Yup..still very strange😆
What were they thinking? It's just weird & not in a good way!
Me scrooble now... weeeee!
CHOCADOOBIE
Extremely scary 😨

"Cadburys chocolate like it always will be" Aye nae bother. One of the chunks on that bar is bigger than today's entire bar!
Too right!
The Kinder ad gave me nightmares 30 years ago. Thanks for bringing them back!😀😂😘😉😊✌️
All new and fresh nightmares! 🤣
Wow that sent me on a nostalgic rollercoaster! Many thanks.
when adverts where better than the tv programs
The Dime bar advert: That is Harry Enfield before he became big time famous!
love it!
That kinder advert is proper creepy😨
Looks like a Chernobyl child. Little distasteful considering what's going on.
I think it's quite wholesome

Lots of classic ones going to be on this one 👍
Nice one Steve 👍
Actor Jeremy Bullock in the 70s advert for Cadbury's Dairy Mike. He went on to portray Boba Fett in Star Wars episode V and VI.
I was always creeped out by the Kinder Surprise ad, now I look like Humpty Dumpty!

Still better than watching modern day tv shows
True, you definitely pulled more birds in the 70s with a Twix
It would seem so, yes. 😆
Harry Enfield cracks me up everytime i see the Dime ad 🤣 great ads thanku ❤
Yup! "Oi! ... Nutter!" - branded into my brain all these years. 🤣
@@RetroSteveUK me and me boyfriend still say it whenever we see dime bars. .folk in shops must think we.re off our heads! 🤣🤣
So many memories as a kid
see the size of the wotsits? they're half that size and three time plus the price. Oh take me back there!
"oi,dime bar" was shouted in every community college across the UK the morning after this advert...along with "armadillo"
Kinda stays with you, doesn't it? 😄
Superb stuff. Compare these classics to the absolute state of British TV advertising these days...
IKR, it would also be helpful if they didn’t keep restricting what can and can’t be advertised.
I'm just glad they removed these junk food ads and replaced them with ads for the wholesome habit of gambling ;)
@@MrDirkles LOL, or taking out loans with interest rates so high that they own your soul.
@@mgthestrange9098 at least they aren't bad for your health. Oh hang on....
No box ticking
I remember all the kids at school used to impersonate the Kinder egg. Still have no idea what his words translate into to this day!
It's weird - I kind of understand what he's saying by his enthusiasm. 🤣
Lord Rockhingham's XI! One of my favourite tunes ever (although, I don't like wine gums). I remember that Kinder egg Humpty thing, it was creepy.
That smarties advert started a trend at my school, where we would throw smarties around the class (sometimes hitting the teacher), and when the teacher yelled, "who threw those!?" - Only smarties have the answer 😂
Terry’s Pyramint! Yum! Even the sweets were better 35 years ago!

Pacers! Thank god for that. Everyone I’ve ever asked about Pacers didn’t remember them. I was beginning to think I imagined them myself.
I totally remember them. Gorgeous, spearmint, chewy goodness. I don't think there's been anything quite like them since.
The last Rolo campaign was such clever marketing.
That softmints advert with the cockney rebel song used to scare the shit out of me!
6:24 It's Jane Freeman again, standing behind Duffy from Please Sir lol she gets about a bit
I remember this Twix advert.
The kinder one was enough to give you nightmares as a kid!
wow memories
that dime bar advert lol

Yeah, I spotted him too. Legend.
There's a Moose..loose .. arrround thus hoose,, ...still ringing in my ear lol
I think Rolos are the only thing in this video sold in the US.
You never forget your 1st Dime bar 😂😂 Great work steve 👍👍👍👍👍👍

I thought that was Bill Oddie as well, just slightly sped up.
@@RetroSteveUK or doing a funny voice.
@@RetroSteveUK I think it is Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie, two of the Goodies. Tim Brooke-Taylor must have been busy elsewhere.
Loved pacers and does anyone remember a Splicer bar? It was striped fruit flavour chew bar...Wish they would being them back
I don't remember Splicer, but Pacers .. SOOO nice!
I want a Wallnut-Whip...
..I miss the coffee ones
@@stevedickson5853 That sounded amazing, I think you can still get the normal ones you know, in the odd shop here & there.
@@gan9e you can , although M&S do their own walnut whips with a cappuccino whip available, but they are even smaller
@@stevedickson5853 Ahh thanks I'm going to get one tomorrow :)
That disturbing creepy kinder egg ad still freaks me out to this day
I think it's the realistic human skin that does it. 😖
back then when a marsbar was big not like today choclate
8:17 Classic Nick Park animation!
I did not know that.
@@RetroSteveUK now you do!
Boba Fett in the Dairy Milk advert.
You can still get smarties
I want a twix noe

It's stuff that's already out there, but I fix up the a/v quality as much as possible & produce it into meaningful collections. All the details are in the about section of this channel.

If I eat Twixes, I meet the woman of my dreams? 🤔
Yes, apparently. 😆
Funny in those days.
Can you you remember the Silvercrin adverts?
We look back and laugh at them now.

Did anyone spot Nicolas Young in the bell bottoms in the Twix ad at 2.46 ,out of the 1970s Tomorrow People ..
I didn't, but we'll spotted!
Yep
Loved the expression " jaunting" now they say teleport
Hi.. yeah I saw him. Was a huge TP fan back in the day. Think I've seen him in another ad
..and the theme music still sounds brilliant
looks like Abbott
Cadburys chunks were twice the size then 😞

Comedy seems to have vanished from adverts these days...
Pretty much, although I always giggle when those Haribo "kiddy voices" adverts come on the telly. Modern classics, those!
Comedy has vanished from life ! Maynard's Wine Gums /Hoots Mon! +Kit Kat/Dancing Pandas were both hilarious though.
That Kinder thing was an abomination. Always reminds me of Sajid Javid and makes just as much sense.
I think it's creepy because of the realistic-looking skin. Similar to this sort of thing: i.redd.it/80mwi9xcg3351.jpg
The lack of diversity in these adverts is shocking. Oh, wait.......
??????
