Best adverts ever I’m 54 me and My mates loved them when they first came out in the late eighties when adverts were better than most programs on television, back in the day of no PC bullshit
I was a barman in a Manchester nightclub. Punters used to ask for Australian lager; I always wanted to respond, “…they all come out of the same factory in Tadcaster,mate…”
Castlemaine XXXX was brewed in Burton on Trent, not Tadcaster. Allied Breweries had the licence, not John Smiths. However, he cans were brewed in Perth Australia....initially. I sold tje stuff when it was launched in tje mid '80's
There is an old joke using XXXX beer as the punch line. Did you hear about the 4 Sydney Rugby players? Suing XXXX for unauthorised used of their signatures ;-)
@@sundaypunch7906 I remember these adds being on in the 90's. According to my Mate in Perth W.A. Castlemaine XXXX is not very popular in Australia at all they prefer V.B Victoria Bitter.
These are adverts made for the British Market, I remember them from when I was a young man, plus Aussies wouldn't drink that shit if they were dying of thirst.
I remember some of these ads in the early 80s in Australia. And people still drink it, probably because it doesn't so much like horse piss as Foster's does.
You're thinking of Fosters larger which isn't made in Australia. XXXX has been continually made in Australia at the Castlemaine Perkins brewery at Milton in Brisbane since 1924.
Aussies have the best sense of humour even they were only a UK advert and What ever happened this type of advert 80 90s TV even the advert had funny slapstick for god's sake now everything it too bloody serious. But what about the one where he speaks down the phone saying "Send 4 x" but they send him 4 eggs
I reckon these adds were for the overseas market. Ive been around since tv arrived and i only remember a few of these. VB was all we drank for decades. This is a banana benders beer
The looks I get in the USA when I wear my bright yellow T-shirt with "I Can Feel A XXXX Coming on" Castlemaine was good. Preferred Black Swan while I was there though. Sorry mates.
Áustralia''s zeneth in the late 80's. It's been all downhill from there. Men like this are now second class citizens in the country they helped create.
UK-made-Castlemaine was nothing like the Australian real thing..... Where did you suffer yours? As for Fosters....... Yikes! that was the worst of the worst! Pretty dire worldwide that stuff...but...at least it can claim consistency.
Grew up in the UK, moved to Oz in 88-92 from 10yrs to 14yrs. Been in Blighty ever since. Pretty sure I only saw these ads in the UK. Due to my age at the time it's difficult to recall what was popular in Oz when I was there, but I do remember VB being VERY big. But I do recall this long running campaign, just can't quite be sure if I saw it ONLY in the UK or if some of it at least was in OZ! But as others have suggested Crocodile Dundee (as well as other Australian exports like the ever present _Neighbours_ and Prisoner Cell Block H) might have influenced the campaign in the UK. Great adverts though! 🤣
@@Hanamy7777I wonder if Budweiser to America is what Foster's is to Australia. The locals won't touch it but the rest of the world thinks it's all they drink 😂
Makes sense, our part is great for growing grains, barley, hops, your part is best for all the fruit. We help each other with what our places can make the best
Yuo can't beat a pint of tawney nectar and not from a tin either. A bottle if you're desperate but drinking from a tin is positively beyond the pale. India Pale Ale that is. From the barrel, hand pulled.
@@leviroch All us 'Mericans have heard about Aussies is like "Fosters the Australian beer!" on commercials. What do you do for hard liquor? What's the favorite down there?
@@johnphantom and the fosters beer thing is a lie sadly. Not only does no one drink it, in my 28 years in australia i habe never once seen fosters on sale or on tap.
Yes, that is Carol Burns (who sadly passed away a few years ago) who played Franky Doyle in the first 20 episodes of Prisoner. 😃 The older guy, playing the doctor in another advert in this video, appeared in different roles in Prisoner as well. 😄😃

Great ads , not like the boring PC woke ads of today ,,, unfortunately the great country of Australia is not the same 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Terry Pratchett ran with this as his version of Oz was Fourecks, the Last Continent.
Not Australia, just a place very much like Australia.
There is an old joke using XXXX beer as the punch line. Did you hear about the 4 Sydney Rugby players? Suing XXXX for unauthorised used of their signatures ;-)
Why do Queenslanders put XXXX on their beer?
Because they can't spell BEER
correct . 4 X
Awesome. Loved the woman who said "He doesn't like anything else". These a very stereo type Aussie Men of that time.

Australians dont drink it tbh . Castlemaine and fosters are average beers . Funny ads though
When the ads are better than today's TV progs!
They don’t make these kinds of ads anymore… shame. Need Bush Barbie to do a couple of beer ads.

Best thing about the stuff was the adverts - dire otherwise.

As for Fosters.......
Yikes! that was the worst of the worst! Pretty dire worldwide that stuff...but...at least it can claim consistency.
Good chuckles, I'll have a cold drink to that in Canada 🍁
Love Canada. Hope to get back up there. Great people. As with ours in the US, sorry about your government. Stay strong. People deserve better.
I can see the pub from here.. best one ever.
That's what I call a decent advert.
"I Won"... Lmao

American beer ads can't even show them drinking the beer.
The Methodists are still in control
Yes, but it has completely cured all alcoholism here, by not showing them drinking in commercials, of course. Unlike the rest of the world.
AH...JUST TO UPDATE..... They can now show tr@nnies advocating Miller Lite.... About right for that baby pee.
How can they? There is no beer in the US. Budweiser is just diluted cat's piss.
