Yep! Miss the record section! Mine was the on-contract cleaning firm at Woolies Hereford in 08 when they closed all the stores down that Christmas. Bloody heartbreaking!!!
Memories of '78...? Ok, here's 5. One of the best years ever in the charts. Grease at cinema, Starsky and Hutch on TV. World Cup' 78, from Argentina. Visiting the old Wembley stadium with my Dad, for the League Cup final. Best day out EVER. First ever brand new bike that Christmas... Bloody marvellous!!!
I remember the milk ads, i got milk, i got life, would be good right now to go back to the 70s, but wonderful to watch these ads on here, for a few mins life seems ok again.
6:36 blacked up, imagine doing that today on air ?? Black n white Minstrels got away with it in the 70s, Love thy Neighbour etc, no re-makes on the horizon lol
Blue Stratos...,amazing what you forget including Hannah Gordon advertising a 'healthy' cereal. Glad someone else remembers with affection the hilarious the Stanley Baxter spoof of 'is she, isn't she? In his TV show. Ah Frankie Howard advertising cigars!
Linda Woods *no it wasn’t, but simpletons always like to believe the “good old days” were ‘good’* remember these were the days that is was legal for a man to rape his wife as he was her husband and considered to ‘own’ his wife! Jimmy Saville, Gary Glitter, racism, even the fucking birds eye ad with a man ‘blacking up’ was considered ok!
I remember green shield stamps You used to have to fill books of them for stuff in the catalogue. That has become Argos now recently taken over by Sainsbury's
Do they still advertise newspapers on TV? I'm afraid I've fast-forwarded ads for years. Nothing compares to these from the 60s / 70s. I can't recall Blue Stratos but then it was one of many ads for men's aftershave. Will always remember the lovely Hannah Gordon from 'My Wife Next Door' with John Alderton, oddly never repeated. I recall the Band of the Black Watch's 'Scotch on the Rocks' single was a big hit. The delicious Madeline Smith with Frankie Howard - I know who I prefer! Stanley Baxter is forgettable but the next ad is 'classy'. Great song too. Leaves you guessing till the end. Not seen this one before. Anyone knows who sings it? Kenny Everett again on the Wollies ad.
Berighteous:... I do! I worked in that industry for a bit! Nothing controversial, nothing for the conspiracy theorists to go to the trouble of taking their dicks out of their hands, or their heads from up their arses for, I'll bore you with the list of ingredients if y'like.. !
Never been a fan of Branston Pickle. I'd winkle my knife around to get the sauce but leave the chunks behind. Eventually, all that was left were carrots at the bottom of the jar.
"Made with at least 80% beef" Hahaha, love it. Enjoy your horse and "mixed meat product", I'm so happy I was vegetarian all through the 70's and 80's. xD
1:27 Not so bloody loud! 2:45 I bet that Hannah Gordon purchased those Protein Whispflakes from Safeway. 3:18 I thought that VO5 was only launched in the 1980s - I was obviously wrong. 4:22 Aspel looks great in those suits! 5:15 I would go to a pub for Scotch on the Rocks rather than Debenhams, Boots or Rumbelows. 7:39 Normally, if you've got life, you have porridge rather than milk.
I’m all for the old days were great (I was an 80’s-90’s kid) but do you reckon it maybe because as a child everything is amazing and less complicated???? Just a thought.
Same, 80s baby 90s child/teenager. I really do miss those beautiful simple days. Warm sunshine in summer was just great. Sometimes I do wonder how the same timeline would've been like living as an adult.
These adverts were just 40-45 years ago. Imagine if you'd shown someone, in 1976, what Britain would look like in 2018... They wouldn't have believed their own eyes. Well buckle up, because the next 40 years are going to see some far more radical changes. It's probably too late to do anything but there's just a small - very small - chance that something can be done to save England. I'm not holding my breath, however.
I know it's only a glimmer of hope, but yes, if we can get all the backward thinking, EU hating, racist scumbags to clear off or just hide away and die somewhere, there is a chance England can be saved, but I'm not holding my breath either. England has been taken over by right wing nationalists, and yes the place is completely ruined because of it......
Tbh I don't know how everyone lived without the internet. Did you have phones then? Why did you have adverts for milk? I am only 12 so I really don't know
We lived much happier lives without the internet " in the old days". The Internet has been a disaster. It's facilitating discord, dissociation and dissent (and and will ultimately engender war). If the internet and all personal computers were to disappear, people would be healthier and happier. Yes, the 'net is convenient and amusing but the bad greatly outweighs the good. I use smartphones and PCs extensively but I'd be willing to see them all thrown on a fire, in a heartbeat, if everyone else would.

miss the record section and the christmas trees & tinsle all lit up in december! :)
Yep! Miss the record section! Mine was the on-contract cleaning firm at Woolies Hereford in 08 when they closed all the stores down that Christmas. Bloody heartbreaking!!!
I once nicked two Queen cassettes from Woolworths.
You used to able to buy those big bags of broken biscuits from woolies. My mum used to use them as a base for her homemade cheesecake.
Yes, Woolies has not been replaced.
Wilkinson AKA Wilko is the closest place today.
When we looked forward to the adverts instead of grabbing the remote control to mute the sound.
Yeah that's right, spot on with that
Glad I experienced the 70’s
Stanley Baxter is a genius and a legend.
Fuckin hell, little girl doing an am-dram production with Weetabix like she's playing Shakespeare
I still miss Woolworths.
loved the record section then off to WHS smiths to buy a magazine what happy simple days! :)
Wilko is the nearest modern competitor.
Ahh Frankie Howard and Stanley Baxter - Genius Comics
Kenny Everette doing the voice over for the Woolworth ad I love
These ads i miss the 1970 s so bad i really love these ads
Bring back memories of 1978
Videos like this make me homesick for the 70s.
Memories of '78...? Ok, here's 5.
One of the best years ever in the charts.
Grease at cinema, Starsky and Hutch on TV.
World Cup' 78, from Argentina.
Visiting the old Wembley stadium with my Dad, for the League Cup final. Best day out EVER.
First ever brand new bike that Christmas... Bloody marvellous!!!
Loved Stanley Baxter...pure Comedy Genius
I want to see Bird's eye black up today. That was amazing.
I remember the milk ads, i got milk, i got life, would be good right now to go back to the 70s, but wonderful to watch these ads on here, for a few mins life seems ok again.
Brilliant memories 👍👍
Remember the Asterix set in Weetabix. Hours of fun colouring in Julius Caesar...
I remember that I hated the girl on the advert. No idea why now, but I loathed her.
@@thefurrybastard1964 me too i just wanted to each 6 8 weetabix a day to get more of the figures! I remember the lego set too
I remember shreddies used to have the transfers in. You had to rub over them with a pencil lol
Birds Eye Beefburger ad. 😂 Ah, good old Woolies.
The days where every so often, cerial producers would put free gifts in their packaging or you collected tokens for gifts.
Frankie Howerd made me laugh in the cigar ad. Madeline Smith totally hot in that ad.
RACIST ADVERTISEMENTS: How Ugly!!!
Stanley Baxter at 5:55 ...sheer brilliance !
gpo746 he’s fantastic impersonater
gpo746 tears in my eyes performance😂
I'm not gay, but that bit at 6:12 sounds positively sexual.
Gosh not seen a blackcurrant cheesecake in years, can you still buy these in the shops?
They all have a Scottish accent! :-0
Love that Stanley Baxter one.Bloody hilarious.
Definitely couldnt get away with the black faced Indian impression today!
Probably have more complaints from the Scottish even though Baxter is (was) one himself
how big are his nostrils though ?
6:36 blacked up, imagine doing that today on air ?? Black n white Minstrels got away with it in the 70s, Love thy Neighbour etc, no re-makes on the horizon lol
Stanley Baxter ruined many a Hogamany
As funny as a kid with leukemia
Surprised he's still alive and Yew Tree hasn't had him
"Avent ad me tea yet" :P
"Bring out the Branston!" 🤣
Vile creation.
@@capitol7950 I only like the sauce version they made in the 1990s.
Era of jingles which as cheesy as they are remain stuck in the memory for years.....an advertisers dream.
Loved that apple shampoo!
Deborah Craven Me too! 🍏🍏🍏
It was divine.
Don't remember all of them. But it put a smile on my face. I like the hamlet advert, with the Carlos fandango super wide wheels.
Blue Stratos...,amazing what you forget including Hannah Gordon advertising a 'healthy' cereal. Glad someone else remembers with affection the hilarious the Stanley Baxter spoof of 'is she, isn't she? In his TV show. Ah Frankie Howard advertising cigars!
You never get the gifts in the cereals anymore because they say they are a choking hazard, we seemed to manage alright back then!
That was before the ambulance chasing lawyers got in on the act!
1:14 It really sounds like they're singing "Humphrey-Lloyd is the English shite"
😂😂😂
Now the style in Brittan is rags. Who would of believe in the 70s that people would actually buy torn pants
Life was better then!!!☘🐾

I often used to get a Blue Stratos gift box for Christmas. My brothers got Old Spice and Brut.
I can't remember what Blue Stratos smelt like?
@@dududu5189 Probably a bit like Toilet Duck!
Brilliant Stanly Baxter on the birds eye advert
Thanks for these. Hannah Gordon also advertised a cereal 8 till 1.
Great 1970's British Adverts classics!
weren't those milk adverts just so... HAPPY 😁
Play School’s Carol Chell selling Branson Pickle... well I never!!
ah ha! now i know why i thought she made such a lovely advertising mum 😄
You can get scotch on the rocks for £8.99 on Ebay right now!
And frankie... you wouldn't know what to do with her if you did get her...
I'd forgotten how pretty Hannah Gordon was
She was a quite a looker in her day.
Hannah Gordon wouldn’t have to ask me twice to join her for breakfast
@@smac4749 id offer her breakfast but id be the one eating ya dig?
@King Brilliant Me too and I was a toddler
@@smac4749 plus if you stayed long enough to wash up, you could then stay for lunch.
Better life back then - born in the 60's & schooled through to the late 70's
40 to 50 pound suits ! That's was a lot of money then , I'd just left school in 75 n was on £10 a week
6:57 - About 25 years later, advertisers used the same song to sell yoghurt!
And the same yoghurt maker is now in the milk business. Coincidence? I think so...
The ad with Siri Stanley Baxter is hilarious. It wouldn't stand the test of time with the politically correct snowflakes.
That really doesn’t sound like Michael Aspel! Stanley Baxter is an absolute legend!
Looks like they had some photographs of Michael Aspel but not much more!
I remember green shield stamps You used to have to fill books of them for stuff in the catalogue. That has become Argos now recently taken over by Sainsbury's
And the family behind them are multi Billionaires.
Aspo doing Catalogue poses
That Stanley Baxter Birds Eye ad is the best one ever! He was as 'impressive' as Matt Lucas.
5;18 Chieseman's of Lewisham is now a Police Station

Kenny Everett again on the Wollies ad.
The style of that VO5 advert was decades ahead of its time, including the song. Only the narrator's voice was old fashioned.
I find my buying decisions today are influenced by the adverts of the 70s & 80s
Loved blue stratus
This is Micheal Aspel here lol
That lady in the shake n vac advert remember her.
Ian Holmes Yup and the tune! 😁
Carol Chell bringing out the branston!
Good spot
Wasn't she on Play School?
Richard Thomas Yes she was
Status quo blue for you cassette number one album in 1976 !
These are great - thank you - but I just can't find the adverts for Valspar (paint) with the tipsy actor, and Tribune lager.
Anyone notice that "Mum" in Bring Out The Branston was Carol Chell off Play School??
Yes. Well spotted
Wonderful ! How come I missed some of this hard Sell,?
Playschool's Carol Chell in the Branston advert.
Yes I noticed that too.
PLAYSCHOOL women were my fap material when I was 9-10 yrs old in the mid 70s lol.
Madeline Smith very nice I've met her
Classic 70's beauty.
I loved these british foods
Scotch on the Rocks.
É Viva España!
LMAO!
I miss the 1970s.
Ahh the lovely Madeleine Smith....
Made with at least 80% beef. who knows what the other 20% is. 3:56
80 percent beef, 20 shit scaped of the floor
@@Fart-Master-God It could be worse. It could be Findus beef burgers and be 80 % horse.

Lol.. arseholes...

Parts of the processing staffs fingers and bone meal. ......
