Cool Ads I saw as a kid in the UK

9 April 2009 No Comment

No idea why I was thinking about this but I just felt like looking them up…and then sharing them.

Ya know, I saw a link to this one on and remembered…well, until I saw it again. This ad must have come out in the early 80’s, thing is, back then I was just a kid and didn’t realize the racist (or at least stereotyping) in this one.

Ok, you couldn’t put these on the air today but you hafta admit, these ads are classic.

How about, James Bond meets a box of chocolate? Some of these I hadn’t seen before (well before my time) but it was still a great ad campaign.

Speaking of Bond, how ’bout a Bond theme selling some very British…tea. Oh, and some monkey’s thrown in for good measure.

The competition with a different take.

How ’bout a little soft pornishness to sell some chocolate? Cheating on her man with the chocolate?

Okay, here’s another one.

How ’bout a little instant mash potatoes sold by…errr, robots?

What else is for dinner?

Dancing vacuuming lady. Can’t see my wife dancing around and singing like that when she vacuums.

Yeah, we all have our secrets, but John McEnroe in a…well, he should have kept that a secret.

There are so many more but, that’s enough for now. But I’ll leave you with a safety message. But I want to know, who does the better job, Kevin Keegan….

Or Darth Vader? (yes, it’s the same guy)
