It isn't just the nostalgia, but I reckon today's advert makers could learn a thing or two from some of these. Punchy quick adverts and a bit of fun.
100%. My 67 years young old man said to me the other week that "life is just too sterile now", and I think that stretches not only to the way of living he was refering to, but everything from life, to work, to TV and adverts, to shopping and everything inbetween. There's no excitement, no adventure or breaking boundaries these days in advertising. It speaks volumes that we're here now, deliberately watching ADVERTS when we could be watching sanitised TV. I miss the 90s....
Agree 👌
The older the ads the happier i am. .before the world went mad😢
I know. In them days a man could rape his wife consequence free. You could racially abuse “foreigners” in the street, and gays got beaten senseless if they so much as had a limp wrist. Ahhh the good old days before the world went mad.
Beautiful memories ❤
I love these videos. Back when TV and especially adverts were great and the country was normal!
you've made me very hungry mate lol. Some great adverts there for sure. I still think the flake advert is fantastic and the lady in it OMG. Thanks again for sharing these
Thanks so much RetroSteve, for putting together all of these compilations, always make me smile. 😊❤😊
I went from delight at seeing a Trio advert, as I always loved those ads, to instant, cringing embarrassment when this one started rapping 😮😂 Egads. It’s not the worst example I’ve ever seen, but it’s never not been awful when brands tried that.
I thought it might get that response. Included for posterity, I guess. I labelled that ad "Suzy tries to rap" in the chapter markers. 🤣
@@RetroSteveUK To this one’s credit it doesn’t sound _exactly_ like these things usually do. Most typically they sound very similar to Brian Doyle-Murray’s “rap” as the arcade owner in Wayne’s World.
Suzy clearly has 2 different voices. One is the original voice yelling, "TRIO". The other is the person rapping.
It’s not as bad as an O2 one doing the rounds now with a woman rapping ‘where the hell my phone uh, how I’m gonna get home uh?’ over and over again in a monotone voice.
I dont know why watching all these old ads make me depressed….guess just wish could go back.
I'd give a limb to have a United biscuit again! When i used to go and see my dad for the weekend he would always have a packet of United biscuits and a can of orange panda pop ready for my arrival.
I had no problem eating them all in one sitting :)
United .. Panda Pop ... Nostalgia overload! Used to buy Panda Pops with my pocket money from a kiosk in the park outside our town's outdoor swimming pool.
I think the panda pop was 13p and the United biscuits were 30p in 1982.
Apparently panda pops had a higher sugar content than other fizzy drinks though I can't confirm whether this is true or not.
Great video. I used to make little animal figures from the viscount foil wrappers after eating them...lol👍👍
The Terrys Bridge Mints look fab in that box.
Some proper nostalgia there thanks Steve, but… Pom Bar? Must’ve missed that one !😂
Ah, the correct Time Out. I miss those.
Loved Viscount Orange, mind still love the mint ones. Them KP dips used to have cheese flavoured ones too, which were fab! My Mum used to bring me back a pack of KP crisps when she finished her shift at the local Pub :)
Confession time .. back in the 90s I found an unopened (sealed) packet of Viscounts under a bush. I ate the lot! I guess I like Viscounts too. 😬
@@RetroSteveUK Steve, I'd of done the same :)
They have those KP dips in farm foods. However, they are nothing like the ones back in the day. They treated so bad that even my wife wouldn't eat them and she is a sugar addict!
@@RetroSteveUKViscount's funny seem as nice as I remember them being. I don't think the chocolates any where near as thick now
Ah you saved the best til last ! Cracking stuff once again sir
Ooh, another brilliant video! Funny how some of these things were stored in my memory! I remember those favourite centres as advertised by the nun with the Su Pollard voice. The toffee crumble, triple choc and choc mint and coconut were all delicious. I remember mini cookies as well. I would have them in my packed lunch for school! I also remember KP Choc Dips. I used to be upset that the well of chocolate dip (sort of like Nutella without the nuts) only went about one third of the way down the pot. I felt cheated! I don't know what that silly cow was doing hiding her cheap chocolate orange behind all those traps?!
I had the same disappointment over the Choc Dips chocolate well. It's my earliest memory of realising companies were cheating us with their deceptive packaging.
Arthur Mullard voicing big brother on the KP ad, on the United ad sounds like Micheal Robbins aka "Arthur " from On The Buses, and the flake Ads 🤩 wow, they were some of my favourite ones growing up 🤣
Definitely "Arthur" on the United ad. His voice is unmistakable, particularly if you're familiar with On The Buses.
Is there any way to go back in times please???
Yes .. Try pressing the Flux Capacitor button on the TV in this video. You never know - might work. 🤞
Bring back United bars !
If I close my eyes when I open them, can I be 8 year old again. And my current life just a bad dream................. Nope. Still here.
Great stuff Steve. I wonder if there is a modern equivalent of the classic United Biscuit? I'd be delighted to revisit United! I know that this is a compilation of sweets and snack adverts, but looking back there were far more of these ads back in the day. That was before the 'nanny state' stepped in with all its rules!
You're right about the quantity of old snack adverts. I have more of those completions than anything else!
Wow, Fox's Glacier Mints. Blast from the past. Forgot all about the Double Decker advert. I still eat those from time to time but they are a lot smaller than they used to be. 😕
The last thing I want to do when having a bath is eat a chocolate bar and keep the take s running. That Flake advert made little sense to me.
I thought that about the bathtub too.
4:49 loved this advert ha ha
It’s amazing the amount of people who comment that they felt at peace when adverts were this way.
And then compare it by today’s adverts!
Subliminal control really isn’t it??
As is all advertising from any era I guess. Whatever it takes to part us from our money.
Thanks for more of these i love Steve have a great weekend 👍📺🤗
Though very different in style, there’s something about that Tahula the Hula ad that reminds me of the Häagen-Dazs cult ads, which reminds me I’d been intending at some point to request (plead? 😂) you add those to one of your videos sometime.
Pleasure is the path to joy, pleasure is the path to joy…
2001 .. 'marginally' too modern for this channel, but you can find them with a quick youtube search.

@@RetroSteveUK I actually have had them on my PC since they were new 😝 But thank you anyway - just wanted to remind others of them. I couldn’t remember when they were from, nor your cut-offs (I recall you writing to someone anything pre-widescreen, but didn’t recall a date).
@@El-Ritmo Pre-widescreen is pretty much it, but anything in the 2000s normally gets rejected. Sometimes it's just based on the feeling. The one time I included an ad from the 2000s, it got a number of complaints.
Loved the Fox's Glacier Mints fox; hated that pompous polar bear. Like a Fox's Glacier Mint fox standing on the hosepipe of logical synapse, I figured that if I bought Fox's Glacier things (Fruits or Mints) at every opportunity (it was probably once a week with my pocket money and the occasional buckshee for accompanying an uncle to the shop), it was only a matter of time before my animated fox friend would emanate before me as I opened a packet.
That matter of time became a life of purgatory.
I used to love the fruits. Closest thing I've found to them is Jolly Ranchers - an American sweet sometimes found in sweet shops over here.
@@RetroSteveUK - Toast and honey and a cuppa or something from the array of juices and smoothies is my 'sweets' these days.
With you on Glacier Fruits, though. I didn't need any implied cartoon fox friendship to grind me gnashers on them - but I was kind of obligated toward the mints to optimize that possibility.
Most of these ring a bell - but not Terry’s Bridge mints. Nothing coming back to me about those.
I used to smooth out the foil wrapper from VIscount biscuits, always ended up with a green finger and thumb.
Whatever happened to orange Viscount? I preferred them to mint. United were great too. 🍫
The same thing that happened to the different varieties of club biscuits. The fruit and nut were my favourite
They do away with everything good. Remember Yo-yos? They were like Vicounts but bigger and flatter. They came in toffee or mint and were made by McVities. My fave was toffee.
Viscount also came in coconut, which were in blue wrappers.
@@angel_on_the_edge8084 ooh, don’t remember those, they sound lovely! Wish they’d bring them back 😋
Great collection adverts today are rubbish compared to 80s ones
absolutely right!
Arfur Mullard
Well some of the old ads I prefer but on the other hand some modern ads I prefer precisely because they aren't as chaotic as some of the older ads were. For the older adds I preferred ads for Fruit and Fibre Bran Flakes and Start (all Kellogg's breakfast cereals), Chambourcy Real Chocolate Mousse, Milk Tray Viennetta or Terry's All Gold. For some chocolate bars I liked the ad but not the product. I disliked the Club ads because they implied that it wasn't cool not the like lots of Chocolate on a biscuit. Similarly I can say now that the reason I didn't like the Yorkie ad was because the slogan implied that girls/women were not supposed to eat chocolate bars that had large chunk, Of course many ads from the 80s/90s and before would now be considered sexist or possibly wouldn't be aired at all. Also we must remember that the advertisers had the space on the networks and a captive audience both of these especially the latter are much less the case now.
The captive audience thing makes a massive difference nowadays. As you pointed out .. back then there were much less viewing options so we all pretty much watched the same thing and viewing figures were enormous compared to today.
I tried Maltesers and I was so disappointed. Figured they were like my favorite candy whoopers. The chocolate was not to my liking.
terrys mints...how posh
I never liked Maltesers.
