Adverts in your youth what really stuck in your mind

Hovis ad with the boy pushing his bike up the hill
The one with the couple on the beach waving to the man who is waving because he is in difficulty in the sea
The mash gets smash
JR Hartley
Green cross,look both ways before you cross the road
Fairy washing up liquid
 
The Cinzano ads were good :)

Remember the Coke one where I think it was the New Seekers sand I'd like to teach the world to sing? My Dad used to say wish someone would teach you to sing when I tried to sing along to it lol
 
7up advert in the 80's, the dude was an animated pencil figure dude.
He has some 7up, gets a pencil draws a real woman in a short black dress.
I bet she is some mega gilf/milf now.

First "you've been tangoed" advert with the fat bald orange fella running up and just slapping the poor sap drinking it right in the face.

Give him a wave Petunia!
 
Frightening how any of those I remember - strangely remember those far better than any of the shows that surronded them. Was Greenhall Whitley any good or glorified gnats piss - can't say I ever drunk it!

Hamlet cigars had some great adds as well! Removing cigar advertising definitely took away some of the best creativity

Will it be chips or jacket spuds? Will it be salad or frozen peas?
Will it be mushrooms?
Fired onion rings?
You'll have to wait and see!
Hope it's chips, it's chips. We hope it's chips, it's chips. We hope it's chips, it's chips....

and another advert of the same era ......

"Come on Grandad, roll us yer cap".... can't remeber what the advert was though?

I still find myself singing `will it be mushrooms, fried onion rings?' all the time. Couldn't remember the rest of the words or what the advert was even for

Hamlet Cigars were usually pretty funny ones.
The first funny advert I remember was the one with the bloke playing Prince Hamlet during the "Alas, poor Yorick" scene
He dropped the skull and stated doing kick ups with it. Really funny when your 8/9, not now thinking about it.
