@dsriggs Why will philately get you nowhere? I have known a lot of people who have collected stamps. They say that it can be a very interesting and rewarding experience!
@wototototototototot it was the 70's and 80's everything was daggy you know that and by the way these ads were not aimed at children they were aimed at adults between the ages of about 25 to 50
hey, that phone number looks like a canberra phone number, or at least, a number that would work if dialed in canberra (back when the ad was made, prior to all canberra numbers recieving a leading 6)
The last poster to respond to me made reference to a pun. Well, I would like to offer you a pun that has nothing to do with the content of this ad but that I think you might enjoy! It has to do with Paul's mother Sylvia from the TV show "Mad About You". I once saw her in designer jeans and her back was to the audience! Wow! In closing, I would just like to say that Jamie and Fran from that show were hot stuff and Lisa and Sylvia were not far "behind"!
I know this is an Australian ad, but WHY do I get the feeling that I've seen one of these before at a young age? I seriously doubt they play foreign ads on TV in the United States.
This is “gold”. Sharing with my kids in 2019 and still very relevant and fun
I love the "Come in and try Philately" at the end. That's stamp collecting, for those who didnt know.
Favourite commercial as a kid!
Archery is cool. Makes you feel like a big, powerful man shooting those arrows.. This ad owns
The 'twang twang twang twang' bit always cracks me up! LOL
Brilliant , as relevant today as ever. Should be re-released in all English speaking countries. Bewdy Norm !
Bloody hell this a classic ad!!
Same here. I'm thinking of using this for my students. :)
Great advert. Please bring it back
@dsriggs
I think I understand now. Thank you for clarifying!
me too.
respect.
Davo?! Davo said he was takin' the family out, flyin' kites!
Even 15 years ago there were clickbaits!

What exactly does the "knit" refer to?
Why are they telling us to try tickling??
And everybody knows philately will get you nowhere
Hell yeah. My childhood
Can't believe I still remember the words..! Classic
Me either!! It's brilliant.
I loved this ad! Really believe in what it stood for!
haha nice...i still remember the words too
These ad's were made in the early 80's and they weren't actually aimed at kids but adults. It was a very successful campaign too.
its the 'twangtwangtwang' bit that gets me every time (archery, 0:20). I remember these ads, sadly...

My God I never thought I'd ever see this again! Why don't they re-run this campaign again? Thanks for posting!
