I remember how invested we all were in the Rhonda - Ketut love story! At the time there was a Melbourne breakfast radio personality who’d had a holiday romance in the Cook Islands that became a serious relationship and her co-DJs started calling her Rhonda!
The Goggo Mobile advert guy Tommy Dysart was a melbourne bloke but born in Scotland. Known for several TV adverts as well as aussie movies and series. He also did the old meat bucher adds for *Don* meat products, "Is Don! Is good!" Little bit that not many know, he attended his grand kids school play at highschool and the kids knew he was there in the crowd somewhere out in the dark audience. There was a scene where they had to pretend to make a phone call, the kid did the "G, O, G, G, O!" the place shook with booming laughter from the dark as Tommy cracked up at the reference.
Up until now I could not understand this advert. You solved it for me! I thought that it might be something about go-go mobiles? that I didn't know about when it was actually about understanding the Scottish accent . I can understand the Scottish accent as when I was young I had a Scottish friend. So the whole ad just flew over my head! Duh!
Tommy was a Glasgow boy, Maryhill. My mum used to work with his wife Joan brockenshire who like Tommy, was a star of stage and screen Kole thier son and I would ride the dirt bike. Lovely people.
They had an updated story for Rhonda and Ketut, there was an Ad during the pandemic advising everyone to get vaccinated and it featured Rhonda, Ketut and their kid. THE ULTIMATE AUSSIE LOVE STORY
Maaate! is the way we pronounce it when we're really happy to see our mate. Most of these ads became part of our culture. What an awesome trip down Memory Lane.
@SlingShot Effie was on Acropolis Now (which was on channel 7), with Nick Giannopolous and George Kapiniaris. That was a great show. The Comedy Comedy (which was on channel 10) had people like Mary-Anne Fahey, Ian McFadyen (who were a couple at the time IRL), Mark Mitchell, Glenn Robbins, Tim Smith, Kym Gyngell and Russell Gilbert. It was also a great show, with several iconic characters.
Yeah, ya gonna need an entire video just for the Aussie lamb ads 😅 My favourite - trying to bribe New Zealand "We'll share our prime lamb, and you share your prime minister?"
It's funny with National Tiles, they had a 'closing down sale' ad campaign that went for about 3 years, and you still hear good ol Frank on the radio today lol.
All the people in the Salt & Vinegar chips ad are/were famous Australians. The Rhonda & Ketut ads were a series of ads that occurred over time, & as Australians we were heavily invested in the fictional romance 😅 like a sunrise 🥰😍
The bloke who got hit after singing "Hit me quick!" was Skyhooks' Red Symons. At the time he was known as the Simon Cowell-type judge on the _Red Faces_ segment of _Hey Hey It's Saturday._
@@JamesDavy2009 Comparing Red to Simon. Simon should be compared to Red. After all, Red had been doing that segment on Hey Hey since about '82. Initially it was the occasional episode, and by '83 it became a more regular segment on the show. AND Red was far more funnier in his dislike of the ridiculous acts they got on the show.
Yes, Tommy Dysart was (he died last year, 2022) a Scottish born actor, born in Glasgow. His acting roles were in TV series' and movies dating back to the early 1960s.
National Tiles has more effect when driving around for work listening to radio and his monotony comes on between all the other jingles -you have to be there. Every time it rains: " Its raining Marge " and "G-O-G-G-0" WAS PARODIED EVERYWHERE lol. A lot of these entered the conversation in many ways . Good way to understand Aussies
I listened to so many National Tiles ads driving around and imitate Frank Walker when the played. In fact it started to affect the way I said certain words and would accidentally start talking like Frank Walker. 🤣
The GoGo Mobile ad was popular and Bananaboat sunscreens song (Mah na mah na) but Rhonda and Ketut's story was an epic saga that I think the whole of Australia was following!😂
I never thought too much of the Cadbury ad until my youngest child for the first time in his little life noticed a man in the same shop as us with darker skin. All excited and at the top of his voice he yelled out, "Mum! Look! There's a choccy man! Can we get some choccy?" I suddenly found myself hating that ad. 🤣 The bloke was good about it though, we had a laugh even though it made him cringe as much as I did.
That was great, I remember all these. That bloody tile bloke 🤦 use to drive me crazy but that was the point. Bloody hilarious 👍 Got love the Rhona storyline 🙂👍🇦🇺
I remember the 90's and early 2000's with a yellow tinge of fuel fumes and dust... I am happy that VB have gone back to that old ad style, even if I wouldn't choose their beer to drink.
Have you ANY idea what you've started? My family, Facebook friends and care helpers are all going round with old ad jingles in their heads, giggling to themselves and quoting from the past. It's fun! Go-gg-o; Not happy Jan; Wouldn't it be nice; The rain's coming etc. ☺️👍💕🏴🇭🇲
Yep, the GoGomobile guy was a Scottish Australian actor. They did a few of those ads, and I think he did so ads for a small goods company Don, “is Don, is Good”
You wouldn’t believe it but I had an Uber driver today called Rhonda!!! I asked her was she old enough to remember those ads that we LOVED. She said yes but that people used to call her husband Khatut.❤
Some years ago there were some announcements after a church service, and for one of them the preacher was giving us an address. He spelt the street name, which started “G O” … with one voice, the congregation continued with “G G O”. The poor man had only recently arrived in Australia and had no idea what was going on. It was hilarious!
There was a local ad on regional telly in NSW around 1998 - basically someone shouting 'BOGOF! Yeah, BOGOF! Buy One Get One Free!' I remember nothing else about it except for that chant
The "yellow tinge" you mentioned is probably because these ads are from the 80s and 90s maybe even the 70s. Some of them would never pass muster these days but they bring back fond memories of a "bygone era" 🥰
The Goggomobil guy was a Scottish- Australian actor Tommy Dysart who unfortunately passed away last year. He was in some epic Aussie movies /shows including The Man from Snowy River and Prisoner.
Yes Mat..Tommy Dysart was a Scottish actor who lived in and worked in Australia...very familiar face..Unfortunately he passed away last year...Not sure where half of those ads got dregged up from, but there were a few horrors in that lot!
As an Aussie it has been fun to watch the old ads you have compiled. In #2 you had the Paul Hogan Winfield 40c advert.. the same smokes today will cost around $60.
That Victoria Bitter ad was THE ad for Victoria Bitter for decades. It first aired before I was born and even years after I was old enough to drink that was still THE ad for Victoria Bitter. While not a terrible beer, we do have so much better though.
Hellooooo *immediately pauses video to mourn the fact that Frank and his tiles are about to invade my brain and stay there for a good week* 😂 God, i forgot how many Rhonda and Ketut ads there were...so damn good XD
The Victoria Bitter ads are classic 70s-80s Oz - but OMG I really notice the lack of women now, lol. Didn't have a clue back then 😅 There's an ad where the catchphrase is "bugger!" repeated ad infinitum. It's pretty funny. Can't remember the product though.
Omg.. that add on 'National Tiles' can still be heard on the radio. In fact this was one of the first adds that stuck in my head when I first moved to Qld, Australia in 2005/2006. "Nashenal Toy-ls" 😂
{ 7th like to your comment } . Yes 😪 , I remember " Big Kev " who was another Aussie celebrity with " over-the-top " personality ( just like the late great Steve Irwin ) . I remember fondly his catchphrase " I'm excited " and ( during my childhood ) he would sell his cleaning products ( himself ) with Australian TV host Bert Newton on Good Morning Australia . ( Sadly , Bert Newton is no longer with us either ) .
Rhonda from Insurance Ads used to get heaps of letters from Ketut living around the world. The Jesalenko ‘Lamb’ ads make you want a chop. Very catchy. Franco Cotso furniture shop ads. Kids at school would recite the whole ad in Greek comprade de Franco Cotso, Northa Melbournea and Footesgray. Comprade de Franco Cotso. What a hoot. Footscray.... kids across Victoria were speaking with Greek accents for as long as he released ads.
I’m sure Franco Cotso in Sydney Road Brunswick is definitely Italian and I’ve been inside the store too. I remember the bedroom suite I liked was $25K (most expensive in store) and that amount was a house deposit lol.
6:15 so the National Tiles ad, basically Frank Walker and his voice, are an icon in advertising. The nasal-quality and mannerism which he speaks with are instantly recognisable and are almost a meme (the good kind). That's why that's in this video.
Banana Boat! The Cadbury's Ad was just nonsense! Heaps of great Glaswegians in Australia - gogo mobile! 😃 Love the outback corn ad! Kiwis vs Aussies at the bar, classic competitiveness! Samboys were rubbish, but the stars were super! Garfield? Big Kev, no more products, great idea though! Rhonda everyone loved the story, AAMI are good, the ending was unexpected! 😄 Could you please react to Guy Sebastian, Battle Scars!? 🙋👍
FRANCO COZZO!!! Another classic Melbourne tv commercial of an old ethnic guy in the 80's, who used to advertise sales at his furniture stores and spoke in his native language. MEGALO MEGALO MEGALO Buy from Franco Cozzo. 😂
Dont worry about it mate , the add with the sheila opening the beer bottle , when it 1st aired on TV, We ALL thought the same as you did , no one thought about the belly button , we ALL went further south.
They were all well-known. Garfield chocolates aren't around any more. The last series with Rhonda was always entertaining. They came out over a few years.
If you like epic music and great production, take a look at a classic Aussie ad from the 1960s. Harris Quality Coffee and Tea. It's a long ad (about a minute and a half) but it tells a full story. Have a close look at what is following the tall ship at about 0:52.
That VB ad music was so iconic back in the day. Anyone from Victoria in the 80s-2000s will hear that music and think of Vic Bitter. Frank Walker from National Tiles is another one that we all know, it just stuck with you.
The Victoria ad was originally Gold Top Beer made by Bulimba, a Queensland brewery which was bought out by VB In the early sixties. They kept the ad changing only Gold Top to VIc. From what I hear the ad was certainly better than the beer.
Rhonda and Ketut actually met filming these ads and over the course of the various ads fell in love and married IRL. Australia’s greatest love story 🤗 Also, I nearly died when at nearly midnight lying in bed I suddenly hear Frank Walker from National Tiles. He’s a shock to the system when you’re wide awake, when you’re dozy he may be lethal ☠️🫠
Ken Bruce has gone mad Ken Bruce has gone mad Ken Bruce has gone mad KEN BRUCE HAS GONE COMPLETELY MAD. 🤣🤣🤣 Another series of classic, yet crazy, Melbourne ads from the late 80's, through to the 90's. Some crazy guy who sold mattresses, as well as new and reconditioned whitegoods and other electrical household items. You've gotta see it to believe it, the guy who featured in those ads was nuts 😂😂
I'll never forget the stitch-up of Big Kev on the radio(i forget the station), they got an actor to call him and told him they had to clean up a murder scene. They needed his advice before the cops got there, otherwise he'd be next!

rip he is really missed
and the wife in he add is apparently his actual wife.
Tommy was also in the tv show Prisoner as the sinister prison officer Jock Stewart.
Up until now I could not understand this advert. You solved it for me! I thought that it might be something about go-go mobiles? that I didn't know about when it was actually about understanding the Scottish accent .

Tommy was a Glasgow boy, Maryhill. My mum used to work with his wife Joan brockenshire who like Tommy, was a star of stage and screen
Kole thier son and I would ride the dirt bike.
Lovely people.
They had an updated story for Rhonda and Ketut, there was an Ad during the pandemic advising everyone to get vaccinated and it featured Rhonda, Ketut and their kid. THE ULTIMATE AUSSIE LOVE STORY
I hadn’t seen Rhonda and Ketut reunited, only up till he missed her. I was always so sad. Now I feel all warm and fuzzy.
I missed that one... I liked the Rhonda ads.
How did I miss it. Gotta look that one up. Always loved Rhonda and ketut.
@@cattyn20 it’s very quick but it’s a nice little glimpse into the future!
Awwww....🩷
Maaate! is the way we pronounce it when we're really happy to see our mate. Most of these ads became part of our culture. What an awesome trip down Memory Lane.

My favourite - trying to bribe New Zealand
"We'll share our prime lamb, and you share your prime minister?"
Omg i forgot about those
Especially the Richie Benau Australia Day one. That one is brilliant.
@@oakavon I think you mean Marvellous 🤣
Rhonda & Ketut, Australia's biggest love story 🥰❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺
It's funny with National Tiles, they had a 'closing down sale' ad campaign that went for about 3 years, and you still hear good ol Frank on the radio today lol.
Such an Iconic sound, You here that Hello and you know who it is and where he's from before he even speaks it.
Cant stand national tiles ads. The voice drives me up the wall
@@hithwentinuviel
I agree.
When you work with the radio on all day, the ad can become pretty bloody irritating.
@@hithwentinuviel me too! It’s irritating!
Thinking that as well, still on the radio, closing down, come down Sunday.
Everyone was on tenterhooks waiting for the next Rhonda and Ketut installment - always great fun.
All the people in the Salt & Vinegar chips ad are/were famous Australians. The Rhonda & Ketut ads were a series of ads that occurred over time, & as Australians we were heavily invested in the fictional romance 😅 like a sunrise 🥰😍

Comparing Red to Simon.
Simon should be compared to Red.
After all, Red had been doing that segment on Hey Hey since about '82. Initially it was the occasional episode, and by '83 it became a more regular segment on the show.
AND Red was far more funnier in his dislike of the ridiculous acts they got on the show.
Mojo agency did the greatest Aussie commercials. They did the Qantas “call Australia home” campaign. They have a channel.
The VB one here was theirs.
Yes, Tommy Dysart was (he died last year, 2022) a Scottish born actor, born in Glasgow. His acting roles were in TV series' and movies dating back to the early 1960s.
Really? I guess nobody told the media.
He was a big old teddybear❤❤
@@dianaperry1929 he was on Prisoner, i know that.
Not the "gogo mobile"! 😰👍

Mashed n Kutcher took him global for awhile there hahaha
ruclips.net/video/zFj4asgpuBU/видео.html
Omg I love Rhonda and Katut, those ads were so much fun. Almost as good as the Meerkats…
"Simples!" _(squeak)_ -Compare the Market Meerkat
Omg that tile ad his voice it’s always on the radio still 😂
the corn ad that had no sound he yells out "marge, marge the rains are here" it's become a phrase embedded in the culture.
The GoGo Mobile ad was popular and Bananaboat sunscreens song (Mah na mah na) but Rhonda and Ketut's story was an epic saga that I think the whole of Australia was following!😂
G o g g o

Another classic was “which bank?” Anybody back in the day would tell you “the Commonwealth Bank”.
Do you remember the Dollarmites ad ? Quentisenal , Australian advertising - grooming kids into capitalism . ♑️✍️🇸🇯🇦🇺
Even to this day, whenever we have a shift with Rhonda, everyone says “You look so hot today, like a sunrise”. 😂🙊
Love it.😂🤣😂
That was great, I remember all these.
That bloody tile bloke 🤦 use to drive me crazy but that was the point. Bloody hilarious 👍
Got love the Rhona storyline 🙂👍🇦🇺
The National Tiiiiles radio ad was faaar worse than the tv job..
I'd only got it outa my head in the last yr or so....
Cheers for that!!!
The very old Hard Yakka Workwear ad was good. The tune was stuck in my head for days after hearing it.
And if we were any tougher we’d rust.
I remember the 90's and early 2000's with a yellow tinge of fuel fumes and dust...
I am happy that VB have gone back to that old ad style, even if I wouldn't choose their beer to drink.
Yellow pages ad 'not happy JAN' was probably the funniest ever Aussie commercial.
If you like the story type where each new ad brings more in the same tale, look for the Nescafé ads
These ads bring back so many memories 😊
Have you ANY idea what you've started? My family, Facebook friends and care helpers are all going round with old ad jingles in their heads, giggling to themselves and quoting from the past. It's fun! Go-gg-o; Not happy Jan; Wouldn't it be nice; The rain's coming etc. ☺️👍💕🏴🇭🇲
Yep, the GoGomobile guy was a Scottish Australian actor. They did a few of those ads, and I think he did so ads for a small goods company Don, “is Don, is Good”
The Vic Bitter ad is a throw-back the Bulimba Gold Top Beer ads from the mid 60s.
You wouldn’t believe it but I had an Uber driver today called Rhonda!!! I asked her was she old enough to remember those ads that we LOVED. She said yes but that people used to call her husband Khatut.❤
The rains are here Marge was one of our most popular and longer running ads , it was my favourite out of these ads in this video
As someone who has met Frank Walker from national tiles IRL
Yes, he does sound like that haha.
National legend that man.
Some years ago there were some announcements after a church service, and for one of them the preacher was giving us an address. He spelt the street name, which started “G O” … with one voice, the congregation continued with “G G O”. The poor man had only recently arrived in Australia and had no idea what was going on.

I'm really enjoying these! It's like a small slice of childhood!
There was a local ad on regional telly in NSW around 1998 - basically someone shouting 'BOGOF! Yeah, BOGOF! Buy One Get One Free!' I remember nothing else about it except for that chant

it would be funny if he played your add Kappy
Kappy has an ad? I need to see this. 🙂
@@Laraine3 haha no I don’t have an ad no idea what that’s about 😂
@@Dr_KAP 🤣😂🤣
I love the fact I could still recite every single one of these ads! 😅😂❤🇦🇺
Another great Aussie ad is the spray and wipe ad. 🎶‘Got a call from Mr Fryer, he’s bringing round a buyer….’🎶
Maybe Ketut's kaput🤣🤣🤣 I'd forgotten that line. Good video 👍
Yes Mat..Tommy Dysart was a Scottish actor who lived in and worked in Australia...very familiar face..Unfortunately he passed away last year...Not sure where half of those ads got dregged up from, but there were a few horrors in that lot!
Those National Tiles ads used to drive me insane on the radio at work. Always twice as loud as anything else. They are still going till this day.
As an Aussie it has been fun to watch the old ads you have compiled. In #2 you had the Paul Hogan Winfield 40c advert.. the same smokes today will cost around $60.
I'm still having nightmares from those cadbury ads! The shark and dog ones were the worst. That horrible mailman!
I had forgotten half of those but not Rhonda and Katut.😂
That Victoria Bitter ad was THE ad for Victoria Bitter for decades. It first aired before I was born and even years after I was old enough to drink that was still THE ad for Victoria Bitter.
While not a terrible beer, we do have so much better though.
The national tiles ad on the radio made me laugh everytime. ""Helllooooo..."
I remember most of these, except the Garfield chocolate one. When it rains, we still say "The rains are 'ere."
Hellooooo *immediately pauses video to mourn the fact that Frank and his tiles are about to invade my brain and stay there for a good week* 😂
God, i forgot how many Rhonda and Ketut ads there were...so damn good XD

Toyota Hilux. I’m sure he already watched that one recently.
Wasn’t in these ads, but that phone advert I still sometimes say when someones phone rings - “ 😂That’ll be the phone Reg”
Everyone knows the Rhonda ads, followed the romance between Rhonda and Katut
Omg.. that add on 'National Tiles' can still be heard on the radio. In fact this was one of the first adds that stuck in my head when I first moved to Qld, Australia in 2005/2006. "Nashenal Toy-ls" 😂
Yep. As soon as you hear "Helloooooo!" you know the rest off by heart.
@@itsamindgame9198 🤣🤣🤣.. spot on
The national tiles ad just hits randomly on any radio station lol
Haha remember most of them but the beer one where they're all opening the beers is great
Your reactions to some of these ads, crack me up!
Aaaah. So lovely to see Effie again in the Samboy ad.
I once had a guy hit on me by telling me his uncle is Frank Walker from National Tiles. It was so funny
DID YA SAY YES
Poor Big Kev, his company eventually went belly up and the man himself died at age 55.
That bit made me sad.
{ 7th like to your comment } . Yes 😪 , I remember " Big Kev " who was another Aussie celebrity with " over-the-top " personality ( just like the late great Steve Irwin ) . I remember fondly his catchphrase " I'm excited " and ( during my childhood ) he would sell his cleaning products ( himself ) with Australian TV host Bert Newton on Good Morning Australia . ( Sadly , Bert Newton is no longer with us either ) .
The hole proof Underdaks "one day your going to get caught" series. And the No Knickers ad.
The scottish guy is an actor who arrived here a million years ago. He's great and never lost his accent.
Nostalgia hit right here this were all ads i remember very fondly
2:05 I haven’t seen this since I was kid! This going back to the early 2000s! 😃
The waiters in Bali still call you Rhonda when they flirt for tips...love it
Rhonda from Insurance Ads used to get heaps of letters from Ketut living around the world. The Jesalenko ‘Lamb’ ads make you want a chop. Very catchy. Franco Cotso furniture shop ads. Kids at school would recite the whole ad in Greek comprade de Franco Cotso, Northa Melbournea and Footesgray. Comprade de Franco Cotso. What a hoot.

Omg, I forgot about the Cadbury people ad lol
My Rhonda and Katut ads were another favourite!! It was awesome that they included they had a little bub in the vaccination drive....
Of course you recognised Agro in the chip ad but did you notice Red Symons from Red Faces was in it too?
Frank Walker from National Tiles is my nemesis.
Dont worry about it mate , the add with the sheila opening the beer bottle , when it 1st aired on TV, We ALL thought the same as you did , no one thought about the belly button , we ALL went further south.
They were all well-known. Garfield chocolates aren't around any more. The last series with Rhonda was always entertaining. They came out over a few years.
g o g g o is absolute classic
One thing we did for a while was make bloody good beer ads. 😊
We were all waiting for the next ad in the series, they were great
Yes Frank Walker! Best radio ad ever!
Suntan, except where the Sunglasses sit gets me every-time🕶.
If you like epic music and great production, take a look at a classic Aussie ad from the 1960s. Harris Quality Coffee and Tea. It's a long ad (about a minute and a half) but it tells a full story.
Have a close look at what is following the tall ship at about 0:52.
All the ads were pretty entertaining back then but not anymore. I love the "not happy Jan" ad.
That VB ad music was so iconic back in the day. Anyone from Victoria in the 80s-2000s will hear that music and think of Vic Bitter.
Frank Walker from National Tiles is another one that we all know, it just stuck with you.

Thanks for the memories !!! 😄
Memory’s I loved the last one we all did 😂
we love the Rhonda and ketut story. The was an updated story on them Brillant ad
Frank walker from National tiles haunts my nightmares.
I met the guy from the gogo mobile ad years ago. I got his autograph. he sighed it "Not the dart"
Ken Bruce has gone mad
Ken Bruce has gone mad
Ken Bruce has gone mad
KEN BRUCE HAS GONE COMPLETELY MAD.
🤣🤣🤣
Another series of classic, yet crazy, Melbourne ads from the late 80's, through to the 90's.
Some crazy guy who sold mattresses, as well as new and reconditioned whitegoods and other electrical household items.
You've gotta see it to believe it, the guy who featured in those ads was nuts 😂😂
Berger jet dry with John Mellion. Chris and Marie- ‘oh dear.’ Where did ya get it- ‘bad too’
Kiss me Katut" tee shirts - were everywhere in Bali from these ads. He became famous.
Bugger I’ve just got the last lot of ads out of my mind and now it’s going to be this lot 😂
rational tiles still has the same voice on radio ads to this day
I'll never forget the stitch-up of Big Kev on the radio(i forget the station), they got an actor to call him and told him they had to clean up a murder scene. They needed his advice before the cops got there, otherwise he'd be next!
