You're right. I hadn't really noticed that until you pointed it out - modern ads rarely do have jingles. I guess it's partially a budget constraint and maybe a trend too.
The 80's..meet my wife, we got married..had two beautiful kids, and bought a house..had a mullet, drove a falcon on the weekends and a truck on week days..greats days indeed.
Back in the mid 80's to mid 90's, my dad and eldest bro worked in the factory that made them. Also made egg cartons, paper plates and other things, too.
Can't believe how vintage 86 looks now. There was still a lot of early 80s feel to it. It's the year I started high school so it felt like a new era then. The late 80s changed rapidly.
@@jamesfrench7299 dunno man from memory in 86 I saw alot of XA, XBs, HQ and HZs and a shit tonne of Valiants, rarely did I see any XF or VKs unless they were taxis or cop cars
Thank you for this. Memories unlocked. People for decades have been saying I was making up the fact that Crazy Critters were a thing. Now I have proof. Not sure if that's good or just sad. 😅
Born in 1982. Not gonna lie, I’m here for the old car ads. My dad and I in the late 90’s used to work on cheap 80’s sports cars we bought from the “trading post” (anyone remember that paper)? Does anyone happen to have any videos of ads for the Mitsubishi Cordia? Or Mitsubishi Starion? Or Honda Prelude? They were all made in the 1980’s.
Does anyone remember the ad for Pioneer sound systems? I absolutely loved the theme song to it... "Put Pioneer in ya car & run ya car on music" I remember a couple in a convertible driving around & playing with the tape deck. I can't find a copy of it anywhere.
Got a brain ? Back then we were much more astute than the brain dead generations to come , figure this : fish is meat , thus 100% ad was correct . Not all muscle mass ( aka meat)for consumption is ovine or bovine meat . Fake News ? You mean Bullshit ? That's been around since the Roman Times it's just we were better at laughing the delusional idiots off .
Makes me feel a bit sad watching this.Realising how fast my life has flown by without really realising if that makes sense.I was 10 years old when these ads were about.😒

He's Julius Sumner Miller, from Massachusetts, USA. He's beloved in Canada, for his role as The Professor on the cult classic kids' show "Hilarious House of Frightenstein". Made in 1971, it aired continuously ever since, and has now spawned an award-winning show for pre-schoolers, "Happy House of Frightenstein".
He had a TV show called, ‘Why is it so?’ Shows such as, ‘Curiosity Show’ followed the tradition. His chair at Sydney University is now occupied by Dr Karl Kruzselnicki’ who is the Sumner Miller fellow title holder. Essentially the job is to promote the sciences in mainstream and pop culture.
I was 11 years old in 1986 and lived in Melbourne Australia, I guess I was outside most of the time or playing with my Commodore 64. Because I don’t remember 90% of them
actually remember “campaigning” for changeover from polystyrene containers for Macca’s burgers to cardboard & paper … much to the huge embarrassment of my pre-school aged daughter 🍔
16:33 - Most annoying ad ever - in a later Saba ad comedian Elliot Goblet even referenced it, gritting his teeth when he referred to 'that little kid'. (The only time his deadpan delivery ever broke.) But he still ended with: 'Don't say "baba", say "Saba." Sorry.'
I WANT TO GO HOME. I WAS ONLY 7 BUT I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE 80'S IN AUSTRALIA IT WAS SO GREAT. We are no different to any other 3rd world immigrant hell hole now with all the crime and statistics to match. I am old now but I hate it, I never voted for it even though other boomers did.
Crime rates are down from the 80s. The 80s were known as the deadliest decade. The highest recorded crime rates in Australia were between the 70s and 90s. It's ok to be scared of things that are new to you - just make sure that your fear is logical.
@@freeman10000It's pure greenwashing, trying to fool people into thinking they're a green company, instead of what they are: a petroleum company that's been destroying the planet since its founding, and continuing to do so.

@@every1665 Vert true 👍
Honestly, looking back on the 80's, how good did we have it in Australia!
Life seemed so simple back then
I want to go back
Was great without the internet !!
So true!
Life was good but you still had to keep at pace with the times.....

Did you smoke Winfield?
@davemustaki134 yeah, smoked reds, then changed down a gear to blues..quite a few years ago.
@@murraymclean9072 yeah that tops the story off lol had a feeling you did
I literally go back to that time watching this, the feeling the memories oh god it was so much fun being 14 in 86, I want to go back 😖
Its amazing how many of these ads I still remember. I would've been just 12-13 in 1986, almost 50 now!
Same age here, as Ferris Bueller said, If you dont stop and look around........
Ah, the 1980s... when chocolate bars were advertised as health food.
Truth! And when oil and gas underscored the promise of "a reliable future". Thank you, BP. 😔
I miss when cadburys actually tasted like chocolate
Are you saying they're not healthy??
Yeah that whole glass and half malarky really is taking the piss overtly misleading.
accept now well sell fat-free products as a healthier alternative yet its full of sugar. nothings changed
The quality of the video is very high quality for 36 years of age!
I remember those styrofoam boxes, kept the hamburger nice n warm!
Back in the mid 80's to mid 90's, my dad and eldest bro worked in the factory that made them.
Also made egg cartons, paper plates and other things, too.
I used to love that show It's a knockout back then when I was a kid.
That's the name of the game! 😉👍
When advertisements advertised the things they were advertising.

Fond memories of Mc D foam packaging. Good times.
Hell yeah
The price was expensive, at the time I was earning 75 per week, but worth it
Wow this was great i grew up watching these ads i remember most of them, how times have changed & Australia too and not for the better unfortunately.
I disagree. Australia is a much better country in 2023 😊
I don't recall any of these ads, because I chose to never watch crappy commercial TV.
@@freeman10000 Yes, true.
This country has gone to absolute shit just like many other great nations.
RIP Greg Hansford -- Mazda RX-7 ad.
An excellent message from Wendy Stapleton @17:40. Those type of ad's need to be played still today.
people fake disabilities all the time for sympathy.
Bust down all those barriers? Sounds a bit communist and revolutionary to me old son.
Communist and revolutionary?
Another ridiculous response from the oinker. 🤦♀
Thank you for this. Memories unlocked. People for decades have been saying I was making up the fact that Crazy Critters were a thing. Now I have proof. Not sure if that's good or just sad. 😅
My first job at Maccas aged 14. No computers back then. We had a note pad to take orders and manually added the order ourselves
Its a knockout was a great show 😊
It's scary how many of these I remember, and I was only 5 at the time.
That Cadbury ad is better than the ones on tv now...
"Why Is It So?" with Professor Julius Sumner Miller. That drags me back to watching it in black & white.
He was a scary fellow lol

So nostalgic. Thanks so much for posting this!
Remember the latest cassette ads. 1982 Out of the Blue, 1982 with a bullet for example. So good.
Felicity Kendal did a Flora ad!!!! What a babe
I thought she was SOOOO old in the 80s..
Wow the memories..
Awesome 👍
That Bonds add looked like it had the Wiggles and Teletubbies 😂😂😂😂😂
Those Colours.
“Glass and a half of milk in every 200g block”. No wonder I’ve got bloody diabetes.
200 grams. Yes. The good old days
Yeah no Shit I know how ya feel
😂
Dude was one of the biggest propagandists in history
@@LegendLength
Calm down. 😜
These ads bring me back to when I was just a kid, those were the good old days
6:35 Why did they get a former Premier of SA to do tourism ads for Vic?? Bizarre.
He was the Victorian Tourism Minister after SA Premier. Seemed a bit strange at the time.
He basically defected from SA to Victoria.
Notice how even then Victorians were bragging how good they were ..only Victoria has history lol lol..some things never change 😅
No way I instantly remembered ‘the painter from Spain whos at it again’ I was 10
I am a qualified lesbian
Oh God. MORE flashbacks! I hadn't even taken acid at that stage.
Ah, the 80s. When everyone thought George Michael was a ladies man, the A-Team was prime time, and Macca's came in styrofoam boxes.
Excellent 1986 Australian TV ads!!
Mind blown about the bean bag beans. I've never owned one and never will, but still.
Does anyone remember the ad for Pioneer sound systems? I absolutely loved the theme song to it... "Put Pioneer in ya car & run ya car on music" I remember a couple in a convertible driving around & playing with the tape deck. I can't find a copy of it anywhere.
When life and Australia was so much nicer. Get me a time machine out of the HELL of now. Thank f*ck I grew up in the 80s!
When burgers came in styrofoam clamshells, we were happily naive in the good old 80’s.
Does anybody else remember when McDonalds Big Mac was actually BIG?
23:19 "100% meat. 100% fish." That's 200%. Geez 80s Aussie ads were full of fake news and misinformation.

It was always so ridiculous how they ate chocolate bars - at a really awkward angle so the label is facing the camera.
Thankyou for compiling these ads.. I was only little when we arrived in the 80's but I remember so many of these..🤍✨✨
17:10 - Mainland Colby - with Nell Campbell (Columbia in "Rocky Horror Picture Show").

Why are there ads in Australia with people skating on snow and ice?
5:19 "It's amazing the things that you see / When you're out of your fucking tree."
23:05 "This is Leopold. You probably think he's a 2 year old Russian Blue." Actually lady, I thought he was a fucking cat.

So a McDonald’s Double double now renamed as a double cheeseburger
