0:56 Rat Trap was a number one In 1978, And It shows a Video for It here. 1:50 Mr. Kippling Makes and Exceedingly Lot of Money. 4:24 WTF!.

Lol. 12:08 And We all believe that Is really Her Daughter Yeh Right. The little Girl looks more like Patsy Kensitt. Remember Her In Findus Peas fresh as the day the Pods went Pop.
Burger boy!! I vaguely knew him at school, he was older than me, he has to be 60 now... I can’t remember his name, it’s going to screw with my head now till I find out. Hewitt comes to mind, but that mind be wrong.
so hard to explain to people nowadays that back then if like me you had NOT got a video recorder and if you missed the movie you may never see it again unless it was a Bond movie which would be on some xmas time. Big movies on tv were an event and we only had 3 channel, at least in Ireland. BBC 1 ITV and RTE. and maybe BBC 2
God I feel old...... trying to explain to a millennial why you put a car on a train is fraught with ensuing hilarity. Didn't have the heart to explain British Leyland! Trains on strike, car breaks down after 3 miles from showroom. Ahhh, good days.....
D. N-H to be fair i would sooner do that with the train than sit in traffic jams. Take my car on the train sounds good. Mind you today would probably be traffic jams at the other end. Train only I think.
@@harrycoffeynield6941 I concur. Except that the trains were ALWAYS on strike in the 70's. Don't even get me started on British cars. Even my old E type spent most of its life on the hard shoulder with steam pouring out of it. BL cars broke down on the production line! Rusted before you got home and that's even if it got made due to the strikes. It seems funny now but at the time it sure wasn't. Watch "Carry on at your convenience" to get an idea of the lunacy.
British Airways now it costs that much just for the luggage. I think some of these are not as far back as 77, the music one for example I'm sure that Blondie was more like 79 or 80. Is the KP peanuts American as it refers to Jimmy Carter (elected 1977) as President of the USA, a peanut farmer.
This is not from 1977, it's 1978-79. The Mel Brooks programme and Best Sellers: The Immigrants were on 25/01/1979. Thunderball was the big film on 29/05/1978.
Contac 400 worked the first time then never again after that! Does everyone else think that most of the voice over artists on these ads sound like Harry Enfield's Mr Chomondley Warner! Or should I say, the other way around!
Before the days when they're shoving 'bothersome vaginas', transgender people, breastfeeding boobs, 'blended' families and minorities in order to reach quotas. Somebody build me a timemachine, quick. Take me back.
n0ka Opel were a little different, the Kadett had a flat front compared to the Chevette, then the Astra, there was an Opel version too. Ford did similar stuff with the Taunus, one looks like a Cortina MK3/4 hybrid.
michaelstarwars66 correcto mondo....today they taste like shit even the sweets tastes like shit...and while I'm at it....even lucozade taste like shit, and ribeena taste like shit, thanks to all the fat greedy people and the sugar tax
It was 70s. We had a b&w, I think it was 77 maybe, my cousin moaned about something and said he was going to go home and watch the programme in colour. Bye then WE had a Ferguson videostar top loader however , everyone rented TVs then, 50p in the back. lol. Nobody owned a videotape. 1st one I ever saw for sale was about £70.
We've had colour TV in the UK since 1967. In Fact Wimbledon 1967 was the first thing to be broadcast in colour in the UK on BBC2. The US actually had colour TV since 1958.
Lol the Benson and Hedges advert. If you pulled out a plastic pouch and non clay pipe in front of Queen Elizabeth 1 you would have been burnt at the stake for witchcraft 🤣🤣🤣
Definitely no earlier than mid 1979 as those songs at 0:54 were from late 1978 and early 1979. I wonder if those bodysuits or swimsuits with Action Replay written on them were commercially available? 0:16 Ford Fiesta rip-off. In fact, it looks like the front of a Ford Fiesta but without the Ford badge on it.
0:16 actually a Vauxhall Chevette with a different nose shape. Exactly the same car as Vauxhall in all other respects, same engine same running gear same body shape etc...
I’ll have you know, a peanut farmer became President of the United States. Of course, he gave up the farm when he took office, because it was the right thing to do. Not cool, peanut commercial, not cool at all...
10 flake ad 77 saucy 9 old spice of its time 8 top ten hits record god thats rocking 7 kiplings cake looks too much 6 sunsilk shampoo cant remeber that 5 memorex tapes encourage pirating but cheaper than the record i think 4 crosse and blackwell soups really funny ad 3 motorail oh so old 2 leeds bank they advertise cheesily then 1 mothers pride bread god i eat kings mill 😁
Makes me feel all nostalgic watching this. Then i remember all the family and friends no longer around. One things for sure, you can never go back. 😢
Yes, sadly true.
Yes it’s so sad... happier times
I was 14yrs old in 77 what a great time machine great memories 😁😁🇬🇧👍
I'm an American who's family was stationed in England back then and I remember most of these commercials, crazy!!

TV ads that prompt you to call a landline and request a brochure. We forget this was how it was done.
Remember when you had to go to a travel agent to book a flight / holiday?
Amazing that air fares were more expensive then than they are today.
I have Action Replay and it was from summer 1978 as were all of these adverts.
yey there was a advert for the film Thunderball (1965) ! ! ........
This wasn't an advert for Thunderball. That was the film that was showing on ITV when these adverts were on. TV wasn't in colour in 1965
Actually this has to be later than Jan 1979 if the compilation features YMCA which was number 1 that month
@@jezkinsman6567 Yes that's what I thought.
"My pleasure sir .. I'll just clone your card"
That Opel ad, amazing and that Manta, and Motorail, those retro cars
Planet Auto Was that a Manta?
I mistook it for a flat front Chevette.
The Silver one was a Manta

My grandmother did the voice-over for the Dettol ad at 13:20!
was 9 year old back then,, fuck where has the years gone !!!
Does anyone remember the vic nasal spray advert cause you can Malcolm.
Yes I remember, it was "course you can Malcolm", he took a couple of sniffs of Vicks Sinex and managed to attend his college exam.
@@davidmacgregor5193 but he didn't do so well in the exam

That B&H baccy ad looks like an episode of Black Adder.
Halcyon days long gone
I always thought that Mr Kipling ads were very boring. Well, I still do after seeing this
Wow Young Women looked normal back then!
Yep. Not shitty feminists with tattoos, nose piercings & blue hair .
@49jubilee I said shitty feminists. Not to be confused with later punk early goth Siouxie /Toyah etc.

I can’t remember his name, it’s going to screw with my head now till I find out. Hewitt comes to mind, but that mind be wrong.
I'd say he's no older than 13 in this ad, and these are from 1979 (not '77 as the title says), so this kid would be around 52 or 53 now.
Previous comment said he died..

Those ladies in the Vichy ad will be in there 80s now or dead.
You Brits had K-Tel Records?!? Man, that is a surprise! 😜😝😄😆😁
Why is that a surprise. They were advertised on TV all the time.
@@Trev359 But most people here in America during the '70s view K-Tel as an American company, which is why I made my statement. 🇺🇲 😁

Ben was a right arrogant little shit.
lot's of smoooooth voice overs.
'With at least 80% beef..' I shudder to think what the other 20% is..
In 1977? No quality control, no hidden camaeras? Possibly sweepings off the floor … or worse.
Offal
Probably the same as in burgers today; flour, fillers, other shite. 80% is pretty good compared to some.
I miss my old typewriter
That continuity man spoke of Mel Brooks literally like royalty.
Cars on the back of an open train carriage. That was actually a thing!?
