Seeing that the disgraced Australian entertainer has passed made me remember his old Public Service ad for swimming. Not posting that though, so here are two more that i remember well.

and then 70s Dave:



Love the animation for this AD btw, It's done in the style of some kind of British Manga.
Did we invent that :unsure:

I think we did ;)

What a great thread. I remember most of the ones posted, going to view them properly now. I also remember some car advert where it went through like burning field and Jasper Carrot recreated it on his show.

If only Sega had made more TV adverts like the adverts in magazines !

I personally cannot remeber the ads below , maybe it was in american press.

Talking of nostalgia, I only seem to be the only person I know who remembers Cleo (from Kenny Everett) doing the "pavement test" on that's life !

I thought Kenny Everett was hilarious but don't remember the 'pavement test'

I do remember Kenny Everett doing Rod Stewart though :ROFLMAO:

Thank you! Reminded me that of course it was Carling Black Label and not Budweiser. Think I remember them being played all as one ad during half time of The Big Match, but very possible my brain doesn't remember things correctly as demonstrated above!

This was my Favourite too, always stuck in my memory, I also thought they were all in one advert but after someone said they had other ads inbetween I thought yeah probably did. first time you saw it your totally fooled thinking another ad was on and it was Carling again, it's that guy that keeps popping up just made me laugh
didn't make me want to rush out and buy Carling though, I was too young but still wouldn't now, entertaining though

What a laugh, did you see the guy with the Cigar?! If that wasn't Jimmy Savile then who the hell was it?:ROFLMAO:
Oh it's Jimmy alright, It's the end bit that got me :LOL:
To be honest though, it's a shame someone didn't do it back then and put it on at start of VHS rental tapes or something, warn the nation about him
