Of all the brilliant adverts we got to enjoy in the 80s, the Scotch video tape one sticks in my mind pretty much above all others. Um Bongo and Kia-Ora come close though!
@Stroppy Paws I know the Gold Blend ads went on for years...and we enjoyed the entire Renault Clio saga with Nicole & Papa. They were adverts people actually got invested in. You just can't do that with a Bet Fred advert 🤷♀️.
@Stroppy Paws same here, I was 5 and used to hide behind the sofa, made me scared of skeletons until I was 9 when I accidentally watched The Terminator on TV one night, suddenly bone made men didn't seem as terrifying compared to the possibility of a metal killing machine! 😂
I remember back then the "One Day Capital Card" (or Travelcard as it's known now) cost just £1.10 for Adults and 90p for Children, all of London, which means it really has gone up faster than the rate of inflation.
Its amazing watching this wonderful collection of 1980s adverts in 2022. One is struck by just *how white* (& heterosexual!) these adverts are! All the voices have 'easy-on-ear' indigenous British accents. (not a foreign sounding lilt or argot in sight or sound!) The pace of these is gentler. What a contrast to today's over aggressive, over cosmopolitan, multi culti, aggressive ghettoised drose we now have to endure!
@@jeremymerrifield7244 Ah here we go (I suppose I should have expected this sort of thing from some silly penis head commenter to crawl out the woodwork) another *Cold Cold Cold Packed Faced Cultural Marxist Anti White Anti Male Anti Christian Anti Heterosexual Agenda Lefty* I'm afraid of how standards in *our* society* have plummeted so much along with standards in broadcast TV have also fallen in the intervening years. I worry about where *our* once *GREAT* and *CIVILISED* country and society are now headed. Watching British TV now is like being in Nigeria or some other third world country or a ghetto rather than Britain. Sad. That's why I love watching these old clips preserved on TH-cam. It gives me comfort, solace and a much-deserved escape form this crazy ghettoised world which is now being hoisted upon us indigenous.
It's more complicated than that. Most adverts were voiced in deep RP accents by a small entourage of people, I think Hywel Bennett did the most. Companies and marketeers in the 80s believed am RP accent gave more gravitas and substance to a product, but this viewpoint changed leading into better connection with the consumers lifestyle so you'll find through the 90s accents became regionalised and the voices younger, this fitted a new generation of kids having TVs in their bedrooms to sell too. Just saying it's to do with immigration is a very basic argument that doesn't explore the changes in society in general at the time. I was 10 in 1987 and no one in my class had their own TV in their bedroom. Curry's brought out a cheap brand of TV called Matsui / Saisho and made second TV ownership a real thing when most houses just had one. By 1990 suddenly all my friends had second TVs. Overnight advertisers started to direct ads to niche sections of a family instead of aiming at the big box in the living room.
Most products in these ads where made in the UK - then China happened and the EU was exploited for cheap labour. Cadbury was sold to a multinational food corp. and shipped to Poland, its just cheap and nasty now. Folks, buy local, buy British - it will really help. Boycott foreign products where you can. We can make anything, sure it may cost a bit more but will do so much for our nation. We also need to grow more fruit and vegetables. Fucking new Zealand apples we have here wtf - we can easily grow our own apple orchards right here.
I had almost forgotten just how white British TV was back in the day. it was so white that we used to call each other up if there was a black person on TV
Wow....what a woke and enlightened comment...imagine...adverts targeted towards people in a country with a majority white Caucasian demographic...how strange...
That's BS for a start, I was 10 when these adverts aired and I clearly remember black people on adverts and TV back then, stop trying to sound controversial.

Takes me back to Growing up in the 1980s ,Born in 1973 ,Great enjoyable collection of classic Ads 😆😂🤣R I P Linda Bellingham of the OXO ads 🕊️
me to, remember these ads like yesterday
I was 23 and wanted Kim Wilde and Bananarama for Christmas that year.
I have a Philshave Tracer from the 80's. It actually still works and I use it!
God I love the housemartins and the beautiful south...
I was born 89 and loved the 90s but I’d give anything to have been a teen in the 80s
In 1989 i was listening to smash hits 89 with my mate on vinyl and watching him play mega drive.
Of all the brilliant adverts we got to enjoy in the 80s, the Scotch video tape one sticks in my mind pretty much above all others. Um Bongo and Kia-Ora come close though!
The orangina ads always made me want orangina to thjs day.
Only one advert was repeated. Now we have to endure the same loathsome adverts every commercial break..
So much better than the shitty adverts of 2021
The majority of modern ads have no relationship to the product they represent. They will be pushing some sort of political message instead.
Less black faces or race mixing.
OMG the memories. Xx
Awesome channel 4 graphics - great colours - looks amazing to this day...
But no buh da boom boom boom
That Philshave ad is just the pinnacle of the 80’s….love it
I loved the colours and design of that range.
scotch advert LEGENDARY :)
Just glad that Heinz have kept same packaging from 80s.
I can remember the Toshiba skeleton tape and reply well I was 7 🙈
@Stroppy Paws I loved them! He had a skeleton parrot as a pet too. 🤣
@Stroppy Paws I don't know if I'm just being overly nostalgic but I think adverts were better back then.
@Stroppy Paws I know the Gold Blend ads went on for years...and we enjoyed the entire Renault Clio saga with Nicole & Papa. They were adverts people actually got invested in. You just can't do that with a Bet Fred advert 🤷♀️.

@Stroppy Paws 1
Gosh. @ 4:03 I co-wrote and produced the music for this Heinz ad. And it's come back to haunt me!
.....souper troopers
I have some Scotch video tapes in my attic. ‘Watch Scotch forever’? If not, I’m going to claim my free tape.
Why not? Lifetime guarantee.
Unfortunately mine are Betamax, I still use vhs machines.
I remember back then the "One Day Capital Card" (or Travelcard as it's known now) cost just £1.10 for Adults and 90p for Children, all of London, which means it really has gone up faster than the rate of inflation.
Cool man love these adverts
Wow a 50p macdonalds voucher for Christmas
6 Big Mac vouchers. People couldn't afford that nowadays 😂
I was 5 when theses aired.
Me too! April '82.
Love the Biarritz advert.
They were my Mom's favourites.
Nice Barry Manilow pastiche with the song too...
How the hell did that carling black label advert get aired? I was born in ‘78 and never saw it before.
Probably a limited run but I do remember the advert at the time just forgot about it and nobody at the time would have considered it offensive.
Kia-Ora would be just as if not considered more offensive now.
But this was a time that advertised cigars on TV so...😅
15:20 "aaaawww the smell of it!"
Philishave!!😍🔥
I wish someone could find the advert for MIRA showers that had a song that went ‘There was a young family from Crewe, who said only a MIRA will do’…
Two weeks after my twelfth birthday (28th of November).
Ads when they were short and precise to the point.
Now..they are wacky, weird and jump from frame to frame too soon.
The thing they all have in common with ads today though is that at Christmas time suddenly all the products are ‘perfect for Christmas’.

Wendy Craig eating biscuits in a possessed and poltergeist-infested kitchen!
My friend and colleague was the one who made that skeleton.
I was 2 and my 2nd cousin had turned 8.
12:34 Liz Hurley?
Mandate aftershave was real fanny magnet juice back in the day
Wonder if that scotch guarantee is still good?

TV certainly has gone down the shitter since then....much like the country unfortunately
Britain is still white majority to day with it being 95% white.
That's BS for a start, I was 10 when these adverts aired and I clearly remember black people on adverts and TV back then, stop trying to sound controversial.
Wonder if anyone got a new Scotch tape
Who remembers when we used to have white people in adverts.....
Who remembers walking down the street and hearing English being spoken ?
Oxo pissed me off
When advert were about the product. note woke adverts.
Channel 4 programming was so cheap ass
I used to LOVE the Terry's chocolate orange Indiana Jones ads!
Terry's used to make a Chocolate Apple aswell I guess people just didn't want it over the decades from the 20's shame really.
