You're right. I hadn't really noticed that until you pointed it out - modern ads rarely do have jingles. I guess it's partially a budget constraint and maybe a trend too.
The 80's..meet my wife, we got married..had two beautiful kids, and bought a house..had a mullet, drove a falcon on the weekends and a truck on week days..greats days indeed.
Back in the mid 80's to mid 90's, my dad and eldest bro worked in the factory that made them. Also made egg cartons, paper plates and other things, too.
Can't believe how vintage 86 looks now. There was still a lot of early 80s feel to it. It's the year I started high school so it felt like a new era then. The late 80s changed rapidly.
@@jamesfrench7299 dunno man from memory in 86 I saw alot of XA, XBs, HQ and HZs and a shit tonne of Valiants, rarely did I see any XF or VKs unless they were taxis or cop cars
Thank you for this. Memories unlocked. People for decades have been saying I was making up the fact that Crazy Critters were a thing. Now I have proof. Not sure if that's good or just sad. 😅
Born in 1982. Not gonna lie, I’m here for the old car ads. My dad and I in the late 90’s used to work on cheap 80’s sports cars we bought from the “trading post” (anyone remember that paper)? Does anyone happen to have any videos of ads for the Mitsubishi Cordia? Or Mitsubishi Starion? Or Honda Prelude? They were all made in the 1980’s.
Makes me feel a bit sad watching this.Realising how fast my life has flown by without really realising if that makes sense.I was 10 years old when these ads were about.😒
Got a brain ? Back then we were much more astute than the brain dead generations to come , figure this : fish is meat , thus 100% ad was correct . Not all muscle mass ( aka meat)for consumption is ovine or bovine meat . Fake News ? You mean Bullshit ? That's been around since the Roman Times it's just we were better at laughing the delusional idiots off .
Does anyone remember the ad for Pioneer sound systems? I absolutely loved the theme song to it... "Put Pioneer in ya car & run ya car on music" I remember a couple in a convertible driving around & playing with the tape deck. I can't find a copy of it anywhere.
@@russelllindsay2702 I had relatives from America visiting, we were watching the news and they couldn't stop laughing at today's news reporters, they were in hysterics crying laughing saying 'why do they talk like that?? And they're from Boston of all places lol
16:33 - Most annoying ad ever - in a later Saba ad comedian Elliot Goblet even referenced it, gritting his teeth when he referred to 'that little kid'. (The only time his deadpan delivery ever broke.) But he still ended with: 'Don't say "baba", say "Saba." Sorry.'
actually remember “campaigning” for changeover from polystyrene containers for Macca’s burgers to cardboard & paper … much to the huge embarrassment of my pre-school aged daughter 🍔
He's Julius Sumner Miller, from Massachusetts, USA. He's beloved in Canada, for his role as The Professor on the cult classic kids' show "Hilarious House of Frightenstein". Made in 1971, it aired continuously ever since, and has now spawned an award-winning show for pre-schoolers, "Happy House of Frightenstein".
He had a TV show called, ‘Why is it so?’ Shows such as, ‘Curiosity Show’ followed the tradition. His chair at Sydney University is now occupied by Dr Karl Kruzselnicki’ who is the Sumner Miller fellow title holder. Essentially the job is to promote the sciences in mainstream and pop culture.
I was 11 years old in 1986 and lived in Melbourne Australia, I guess I was outside most of the time or playing with my Commodore 64. Because I don’t remember 90% of them
I WANT TO GO HOME. I WAS ONLY 7 BUT I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE 80'S IN AUSTRALIA IT WAS SO GREAT. We are no different to any other 3rd world immigrant hell hole now with all the crime and statistics to match. I am old now but I hate it, I never voted for it even though other boomers did.
@@freeman10000It's pure greenwashing, trying to fool people into thinking they're a green company, instead of what they are: a petroleum company that's been destroying the planet since its founding, and continuing to do so.
I love how almost every add had a jingle! Just a happier time back then!

Honestly, looking back on the 80's, how good did we have it in Australia!
Life seemed so simple back then
I want to go back
Was great without the internet !!
So true!
Life was good but you still had to keep at pace with the times.....
I literally go back to that time watching this, the feeling the memories oh god it was so much fun being 14 in 86, I want to go back 😖
The quality of the video is very high quality for 36 years of age!
Its amazing how many of these ads I still remember. I would've been just 12-13 in 1986, almost 50 now!
Same age here, as Ferris Bueller said, If you dont stop and look around........
Ah, the 1980s... when chocolate bars were advertised as health food.
Truth! And when oil and gas underscored the promise of "a reliable future". Thank you, BP. 😔
I miss when cadburys actually tasted like chocolate
Are you saying they're not healthy??
Yeah that whole glass and half malarky really is taking the piss overtly misleading.
accept now well sell fat-free products as a healthier alternative yet its full of sugar. nothings changed
I used to love that show It's a knockout back then when I was a kid.
That's the name of the game! 😉👍
When advertisements advertised the things they were advertising.
Fond memories of Mc D foam packaging. Good times.
Hell yeah
The price was expensive, at the time I was earning 75 per week, but worth it
I remember those styrofoam boxes, kept the hamburger nice n warm!
Back in the mid 80's to mid 90's, my dad and eldest bro worked in the factory that made them.
Also made egg cartons, paper plates and other things, too.
Its a knockout was a great show 😊
“Glass and a half of milk in every 200g block”. No wonder I’ve got bloody diabetes.

RIP Greg Hansford -- Mazda RX-7 ad.
"Why Is It So?" with Professor Julius Sumner Miller. That drags me back to watching it in black & white.
My first job at Maccas aged 14. No computers back then. We had a note pad to take orders and manually added the order ourselves
Wow this was great i grew up watching these ads i remember most of them, how times have changed & Australia too and not for the better unfortunately.
I disagree. Australia is a much better country in 2023 😊
I don't recall any of these ads, because I chose to never watch crappy commercial TV.
@@freeman10000 Yes, true.
This country has gone to absolute shit just like many other great nations.
An excellent message from Wendy Stapleton @17:40. Those type of ad's need to be played still today.
people fake disabilities all the time for sympathy.
Bust down all those barriers? Sounds a bit communist and revolutionary to me old son.
Communist and revolutionary?
Another ridiculous response from the oinker. 🤦♀
That Cadbury ad is better than the ones on tv now...
So nostalgic. Thanks so much for posting this!
It's scary how many of these I remember, and I was only 5 at the time.
Felicity Kendal did a Flora ad!!!! What a babe
I remember that Smarties ad😂😂😂

Ah the old trading post
6:35 Why did they get a former Premier of SA to do tourism ads for Vic?? Bizarre.
He was the Victorian Tourism Minister after SA Premier. Seemed a bit strange at the time.
He basically defected from SA to Victoria.
Notice how even then Victorians were bragging how good they were ..only Victoria has history lol lol..some things never change 😅
Ah, the 80s. When everyone thought George Michael was a ladies man, the A-Team was prime time, and Macca's came in styrofoam boxes.
It was always so ridiculous how they ate chocolate bars - at a really awkward angle so the label is facing the camera.
17:10 - Mainland Colby - with Nell Campbell (Columbia in "Rocky Horror Picture Show").
Smiths ad is TOO DIE FOR!
Oh God. MORE flashbacks! I hadn't even taken acid at that stage.
Makes me feel a bit sad watching this.Realising how fast my life has flown by without really realising if that makes sense.I was 10 years old when these ads were about.😒
These ads bring me back to when I was just a kid, those were the good old days
8:40 "10 out of 10 Simon. And 11 out of 10 for that skin tight hair helmet!"
Ah the eighties - I had lots of well paid / fun gigs.
No way I instantly remembered ‘the painter from Spain whos at it again’ I was 10
I am a qualified lesbian
23:19 "100% meat. 100% fish." That's 200%. Geez 80s Aussie ads were full of fake news and misinformation.

No one voted for it, it happened without a referendum under Whitlam (replacing the White Australia Policy with the Brown Australia Policy)
So a McDonald’s Double double now renamed as a double cheeseburger
I did my HSC in 1986. Now I wont even watch commercial TV!
23:05 "This is Leopold. You probably think he's a 2 year old Russian Blue." Actually lady, I thought he was a fucking cat.
Handy Andy clean in a ktichen without a single thing on the counters, not eeven a kettle. Sure. Looks legit.
is that Wednesday Kennedy the late Edith Bliss from Simon Townsends’s Wonderworld in the advertisement for Hey Day biscuits? 🤔😃
