You know...randomly...the song from that weetabix advert still pops back in my head from time to time all these years later...and I think the reason why it does is because of that line! :)
No repetitive, excruciating noises to make you instantly grab for the remote... no assumption in the narrative that the person watching is a brain dead vessel with the memory of a goldfish....!. The 90''s has so much more feeling and connection - a reflection in many ways of how things were in society. I am too nostalgic though.
It's like a foreign country watching these like it's now. Some of these ads i kind of remember. I knew it was 1999 with The Sixth Sense trailer. 1999 Back when oil was still of Ulay, not olay, back when Golden Churn was changed to Golden Crown before it vanished alltogether. Back when Les Dawson, Bob Hoskins, Nigel Hawthorn & Dudley Moore were still alive before all the sunlife, PPI and paying for a funeral ads 17:25 This P&O ad is awful more of nightmare than a dream. They can P&OFF!
Oil of Ulay had three names depending on which part of the world was your home; Ulay, Olay and Olan. Years ago it was decided to go with Olay across the globe, dropping the others.
Like society as a whole. Utter bores, little true personality or character. All social media manufacturing to give the illusion of being interesting. Sad times.
not to forget all the advertising has to be totally inclusive now. soon as certain people see an advert without a person of colour in it gets complaints lol
We moved to Abu Dhabi in 1990 from the UK and moved back in 1991. I was so happy to have moved back to the UK. The UK in the 80s and 90s were the best.
That American pizza commercial was weird. It depicts a southern woman (US South) cooking the pizzas, which is a region that is not known for pizza/italian at all. That’s generally reserved for northern cities with a lot of Italian immigrants like New York, Chicago, or Detroit. Interesting choice.
Ah the time when Tango invented Happy slapping, what that has to do with orange flavoured soda is a mystery. I used to have a VHS tape which had channel 5 count down to broadcast on it, yes I was that excited for a extra free channel that ended up showing softcore porn.
If RUclips had adverts like this I would turn adblocker off. No I don't want to play league of legends but I will buy a terrible rate credit card just because their advert was entertaining and I feel I need to give back
the 90s UK adverts were pretty amazing. Mr soft looking like a guy on ketamine; stylish guiness ads like the surfer with the white horses; allisons bread guy going i said you you said me i said ohhh; I could list shit tons of hilarious ads that made them bearable inbetween tv shows.
Was NOT expecting to see Kyle MacLachlan looking for yetis ... also I remember those Nescafe Gold Blend adverts had a whole storyline and were super popular, weren't they? ?
As an American that ad for BlokeZone throw me for a loop, The song in the background was used here as the theme song for a popular sex show on HBO in the 90s.
Christ, those fucking Gold Blend adverts. £22 grand for a Volvo 20 years ago Terri Covelly from 'the thick of it at 03:47, Dan Miller from 'the thick of it' at 11:40
Everything is offensive and triggering now. Breathing is an afront. I'm black british and yes racism existed as it always had but my friends and I were not obsessed with it. Now for all the talk of tolerance it's nothing but talk of division and someone being offended over the slightest thing.
On the off chance someone here knows. Does anyone remember a UK advert from the 90s that was stop motion using miniture models of people (like the ones used for a model railway) entering a business, bank maybe? I'm pretty sure there was a ghost in the queue. I think it was quite fast cut in time to music. I know my description is quite vague, but I remember it so vividly. I'd love to see it again.
Interesting and memories. Most voice overs were male and deep masculine voices. Females were very high pitched and pleasant. How things have changed.......
I'm from the future. M Knight Shyamalan will try and remake the sixth sense for years and don't sleep with that girl you meet at a party. Go with the other girl you fancied anyway. Oh and Kyle Magachlin reprises his role as Dale Cooper, but David Lynch hit you over the head with "Its Tele" themes. Oh and Mr Kipling does still make exceedingly bland, wet cladding drizzled in pink shit and passes it off as angel cake so you''ll get some soggy nostalgia there. Oh and Donald Trump is President of the US, Worzel Gummage cross bred with a womble is PM. We left the EU, but doesn't matter, we're all dying of plague anyway. British Rail got privatised before these ads aired. People for the next two decades refer to the companies as "British Rail" regardless. There's a war in Afghanistan, then Iraq. Then probably Iran, Pakistan and any country ending in Stan or rymes with flan. You get crippling alcoholism and a Charlie Brooker like disdain on things but it works out even if you dont marry a blue peter presenter to even out your temperament like hammer to a car bonnet.. Oh yeah and the guy from the Kids show you liked died prematurely. Pick one. You got it

welcome to the future. Where sex is taboo and traced by an app and you need to fill out 1000 forms to order a pint. Cheers. Wear a mask. If only wear a condom was as catchy, perhaps AIDs wouldn't be a thing eh?
Weird time really...coz obviously these adverts are from 1999 and so the end of the nineties...so we were sort of transitioning into the next century...so you get a lot more CGI going on and references to 'digital' services which were only just starting at the time and were sort of more of a 'noughties' thing and actually a lot of the adverts (especially the Duracell one) look very similar to ones you may get even today...but at the same time you get this sort of last gasp 'explosion' of the bright coloured, highly stylised, highly random and referential nineties style we all know and love kicked up to turbo mode before it would finally die out completely in the 'boring' bland look noughties...which I date from around 2003 onwards...roughly around the time of the death of UK garage as it was...and then things sort of pick up again in terms of being interesting and 'distinctive' again around the 2011 mark...but still not to the same level as the nineties, eighties and seventies in terms of pure style and creativity!
Very sneaky with the thumbnail because I'm pretty sure as a teenager I wanted to know precisely who that lady was yet you didn't feature it. That is very bespoke clickbait indeed!
Getting abuse from an 8 foot goose 🦆 😂😂 cos a refs gotta do what a refs gotta do 😂😂 I miss those days ads were way better I get a feeling off sadness watching and reminiscing because at the time of these ads everyone you loved was still alive and it's sad but puts a smile upon my face also 👍
When watching old TV ads is more entertaining than the actual programs on TV at present 😂😂
absolutely my friend
You're not wrong, they were actually entertaining from when we were allowed a sense of humour
Spot on. Can't agree with you more. Now I hardly watch any TV, everything is just so boring, no imagination at all, so now I binge watching old ads😂😂
Me in the 90s: FFS more adverts?!!?
Me in 2020: Watches 20 minutes of adverts with a smile on my face.
Definitely
yer ...weird innit
that's neet culture i swear!
RUclips: watch these ads before watching a video of ads
🤦♂️🤣
Yes
The 90’s was the best time of my life.
Mine too!
We were the last of a decent generation it all went down hill when the millennium hit
80s for me were Best 🎗⭐️
I love the year 1999
It was 20 years ago, I'm sure you've had a better time since
I moved to Japan when I was 18 back in 1999 and I still remember the 90's in the UK being the best time of my life.
Why did you move
I'm still here in the UK, and I can attest that the 90s were the best times of my life
Note how in the 90s advertising was still good....compared to today's crap that instantly makes you hit the mute button or switch channels.
I love how we all hate ads when they pop up but we watch 20 minutes of 90s ads for fun
Watching them is a choice. Having them forced down our throats isn't.
I remember all these ads, I used to stay up late watching TV back then. Now I'm up late watching the same ads on my computer, sod all has changed!
Can I go back to the 90’s please?!!!!!
Only if I can come to!
The 90s was the best times!
WHY? obviously they were good for you. the style was not my cup of coffee.
Nah 80's I'd spend 20 years from 80 back to 00's simpler times and no rona
But that would mean we have to live through the 00s til today again.
These adverts are surely bringing me back life was surely better. 😌
Life was better back then
Back to a time when we lived life.
Television was better back then even the gameshows, television programmes, soaps, etc... Television is shit now.
Box ticking and political correctness is responsible
ahh 90s...when everyone thought world can't get more modern than that.
This is definitely late 90s adds 97-99 I’d say.
I just got a 2021 ad while watching these 1990s ads
Im on a platform that makes me annoyed I have to watch ads, on a phone that isn’t really a phone more of a computer to view adverts from the 90’s
"Getting verbal abuse from an eight foot goose" kills me
You know...randomly...the song from that weetabix advert still pops back in my head from time to time all these years later...and I think the reason why it does is because of that line! :)
Watching this in 2018 and some of the Ads look very well filmed for the time!
No repetitive, excruciating noises to make you instantly grab for the remote... no assumption in the narrative that the person watching is a brain dead vessel with the memory of a goldfish....!. The 90''s has so much more feeling and connection - a reflection in many ways of how things were in society. I am too nostalgic though.
Who has this on in 2022 and see how many ads had a box ticker in then aand how bad ads are now woken big time box tickers now every brand is
I'd imagine 95% of the views from 2020 onwards are people doing that including me. Also for a bit of nostalgia.
It's like a foreign country watching these like it's now. Some of these ads i kind of remember. I knew it was 1999 with The Sixth Sense trailer. 1999 Back when oil was still of Ulay, not olay, back when Golden Churn was changed to Golden Crown before it vanished alltogether.

My left ear enjoyed this more than my right ear.
'Bloke Zone' always made me and my then husband laugh😂
I'm still here. Look out of the window.
Now adverts are no fun and boring.....nothing really memorable now.
Just about money and no substance

The Weetabix ad "Referee", to the tune of the Bee Gees "Tragedy", is a bit of a classic 5:35 🙂

Seems a fitting use then.
I wondered what dirty advert was going to come up
Even though I know the whole thing is ads, part of my brain is like "well when this ad is over its back to the real ads" every time
Love how cheeky these times were! No political correctness here folks… just plain old cheeky chops
