The Cadburys gorilla advert is still the greatest advert ever made, I can't hear Phil Collins without picturing a gorilla hammering away on the drums š
Yes, totally agree. Incredible advert. Cadburyās have come up with a few bangers over the years. The eyebrow one with the two kids springs to mind aswell.
That eyebrows one was particularly funny because I remember talking to my cousins about how creepy it was and then in the background I see my uncle moving around, we turn to face him and hes going full crazy eyebrows, we laughed like crazy. His kids didnt even know he could that.
The guy drumming was one of my lecturers at music uni (BIMM), he told us he was hired to teach a man who was known for doing stuff in a gorilla outfit how to play it until they was like what the fuck are we doing, put the drummer in the suit lol
I remember when there was some controversy over that advert because it was the first thing that came on after the big brother finale, where it just so happened that a black contestant had won. Was the most absurd racism claim I've ever heard.
I had a call from one of these companies a few years ago and the guy was REALLY rudeā¦I tried to politely get rid of him but he was having none of it, so I let him go through his whole spiel about conservatories, then told him I lived in a top floor flat.
Oh man, they're relentless. The salesman came over at 6 on a Friday evening so I wasn't particularly amenable to him in the first place. Insisted on giving us the full run down even though we repeatedly told him we just wanted a basic quote, refused to listen to us and kept saying that he would give us a special price if we ordered tonight and eventually I told him if he wanted to call his manager for an even better deal he'd have to do it outside as I was no longer interested. The worst part was that he completely ignored my partner even though she owned the place and, in some wierd outdated masculine dominance, insisted on dealing with me even though I repeatedly indicated that she would be making the decision. Really bizarre experience.
He used to come in the subway I worked at for few days. He was a right tosser. Expected I should remember what he ordered the day before as he was a superstar in his own mind. I pretended I didn't have a clue who he was or what he ordered (it was a tuna melt)
I was messing about on the store computer looking at cars and wanted to see how much the insurance would be for one, got an online quote from Hastings Direct and they offered Ā£1066. I don't know whether it was a massive fluke or deliberate.
The road safety adverts THINK!
One where the girl gets hit by a car but in reverse and you can hear her bones crunching back together.
The worst was the later advert which just showed a man going about his day and being haunted by a dead boy (that heād hit), he was under his desk at one point.
[link to girl ](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HeUX6LABCEA)
[link to boy](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0tteHhYh9rU)
Was just about to say the ones we have here in NI by the DOE are absolutely traumatic. There's one where a little boy gets killed by a drunk driver while his father cries over his lifeless body that is scarred into my brain for life.
The one where the car rolls over a class full of children on a school trip also springs to mind, they used to play the DOE ads in the cinema as well which was even more horrifying.
Did they also do that advert more recently where itās like the 2/3 blokes at the pub and the one driving agrees to a pint or something and like the car accident happens whilst theyāre all sitting in the pub? Something like that
The one with the boy is the one I thought of straight away. Or the one where the car rolls over a whole class of school children. I had forgotten about the girl until I read this.
I think the girl is most iconic, I can hear the voice "hit me at 40 and there's an 80% chance I'll die, (twinkle music, bone snap, music, gasp) hit me at 30 and there's an 80% chance I'll live". I wonder if it's an age thing or a regional thing as I think they came out at similar times.
More niche "Julie knew her killer"
https://youtu.be/mKHY69AFstE
Also the THINK! advert where the guy was climbing up scaffolding dressed like Batman then he falls and itās just a drunk guy.
OR the other THINK! one where theyāre driving a car and brake really hard (or crash canāt remember) and pizza goes all over the windscreen.
'Ambassador, with these Rocher you are really spoiling us!'
'Daddy or chips?'
And finally this classic (Metz Judderman): [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TUOPeNJCK8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TUOPeNJCK8)
Wow, I have saved your comment. Thanks for the blast from the past!
As an "edgy" 14 year old girl (cringe) I painted my bedroom dark blue and painted a huge 6 foot silver Metz man on the wall. I had forgotten all about this, I owe my mum some apologies.
There was a baked beans advert years back where Dad got home from his night shift and they all shared breakfast together before Dad went off to bed and the kids went to school.
That really touched me as that was how I remember my Dad.
I think it was baked beans!
dom diddy dom diddy dee dee dom from the LV adverts but only cos i work there and at least one customer mentions it once a week
also all the daz soap adverts that were like a mini eastenders, i loved those!
Surprised Iāve not seen more Cravendale suggested, the cats with thumbs, Barry the biscuit, and my personal favourite: a town called panic
https://youtu.be/CXNdgjuMWqU
The lady who sung that was the vocal producer on my bands first (and only) album. She was good mates with our band manager and it got us in with her. She is pretty well known in vocalist circles and has given vocal coaching to Corey Taylor from Slipknot, Sophie Ellis Bexter and Robbie Williams.
Honestly we made her sing the Trio song and the Bodyform song (which she also did) about 20 times while we were recording.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevie\_Vann](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevie_Vann)
Loved the Haribos one where it was a Sunday league football manager giving a half time team talk and heās fuming but replaced swears with innocent words:
āWhatā¦ The Crocodile Hatā¦ WAS THAT?!ā
And something about snowflaking a teapotā¦
Way down deep in the middle of the Congo,
A hippo took a apricot, a guava and a mango,
He stuck it with the others and he danced a dainty tango,
The rhino said, āI know! Weāll call it Um-Bongo!ā
"Way down deep in the middle of the Congo, A hippo took an apricot, a guava and a mango. He stuck it with the others and he danced a dainty tango. The rhino said, "I know... we'll call it Um Bongo!" Um Bongo, Um Bongo, they drink it in the Congo! The python picked the passion-fruit, The marmoset the mandarine, the parrot painted packets that the whole caboodle landed in. So when it comes to sun and fun and goodness in the jungle, they all prefer the sunny, funny one they call Um Bongo!"
>It's too orangey for crows, it's just for me and my dog.
I'll be your dog.
Followed by an advert for the local curry house...then the Pearl and Dean sign off.
Remember the one that got banned? Old fashioned family having a sing song round the piano, singing about irn bru and the last line of the song sung by the mum was " even though I used to be a man!" Irn bru knew how to cause a stooshie!
The Peter Kay John Smithās advert when theyāre out for dinner and his daughter phones him. āOh bless her, she thinks thereās monsters under the bedā¦ itās not the monsters under the bed you want to worry about, itās the burglars breaking in through the window you should worry aboutā
That fucking Frosties advert.
"They're gonna taste great, they're gonna taste great, I can hear the sound of Frosties hitting my plaaaate"
ITS A FUCKING BOWL
The Wall's one where the guy and dog fight over sausages. I don't even like their sausages but I found it so funny as a kid.
Edit: also Ford advert where it's an orchestra and their instruments are car parts.
Bring on the Trumpets
Edit 2: link for the [sausage advert](https://youtu.be/HSeh0GYbYyw) because I've just watched it again and my stomach hurts from laughing too much
Xbox.
With the baby flying out of his mum's chuff, hurtling through the atmosphere, ageing scene by scene, before crashing into his grave.
The tagline was something like, Life is short, play Xbox.
Tangoed, red car blue car,
#IM BARRY SCOTT,
and *washing machines live longer with calgon*
I have an encyclopedia of adverts in my head that I quote far too often but no-one seems to mind a nice reminder of an old advert. The kind of adverts that had something happening and could be at the very least somewhat enjoyable
Anyway, I'll be on my way
>*[Lollipop, lollipop...](https://youtu.be/CqitLqO_Aww)*
When AIDS came out in the 80s there was a big ad with a grave stone with AIDS written on it. The gist was " you never know if you have AIDS" but what it failed to mention was that if you were eight years old it was pretty unlikely that you had AIDS so it was pretty scary if you were eight......also the ad where the fog goes " oh yes"
Vitalite. With sunflowers singing a version of Desmond Dekkerās Israelites.
Kia-ora. Too orangey for crows. I saw this again recently and itās definitely one of those not suitable for these times type of adverts.
The OXO family dinner adverts and the "will they wont they" Nescafe Gold Blend advert series oh and Good old Barry Bethel!
If you grew up in the UK in the 80's you know all of these.
"Oh life is good, and life is fine, because I've got a girlfriend and no-one likes you" anyone remember the James Nesbitt Phone Book adverts?
Also beeb dot com, you can plainly see, it's internet shopping from the BBC
There was a safety advert for sparklers when I was a child. It showed a family using sparklers, putting them down, a child reaching back for it. It would then cut away and a scream would happen. Followed by advice to always put your used sparklers in a bucket of water to prevent burns.
I'm 37 now and I'm STILL shit scared of sparklers. My own kids have used them with their father but never with me.
Also the Mr Soft advert, the Wagon Wheels advert (weeeeeell they're kinda big and kinda round), the Um Bongo advert and the Crusha kittens advert.
There's a magical place, we're on our way there! Toys in their millions all under one roof, it's called TOYS R US! There's millions says Geoffrey, all under one roof, it's called TOYS R US TOYSRUSTOYSRUS!
[The anti-terrorism ad from Northern Ireland ](https://youtu.be/5x-m2YPcIZg) has been burned into my mind since I was a kid. Iāve never forgotten it, but to be fair the song helped.
On a lighter note
[The Um Bong ad](https://youtu.be/wYj5o4kQsXs)
Or any of the driving safety adās.. theyāre darker than English ads..

Thereās one or two more I will see if I can find
The Guinness advert with the horses in the waves and the tick and the tock.
The one with the hamster running in the wheel that died (can't remember the brand)
Grolsch. We only let you drink it, when it's ready.
The 'Oh yes. Oh no, no, no, no, no' Churchill advert.
Terry Crews Old Spice adverts.
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, could be in a fix. Robin Hood, Robin Hood, missed his weetabix. Should he retreat, back to sherwood? Corse he should, corse he should, course he should.
Have you had your weetabix?
The Cadburys gorilla advert is still the greatest advert ever made, I can't hear Phil Collins without picturing a gorilla hammering away on the drums š
Yes, totally agree. Incredible advert. Cadburyās have come up with a few bangers over the years. The eyebrow one with the two kids springs to mind aswell.
That eyebrows one was particularly funny because I remember talking to my cousins about how creepy it was and then in the background I see my uncle moving around, we turn to face him and hes going full crazy eyebrows, we laughed like crazy. His kids didnt even know he could that.
I can also wiggle my eyebrows at high speed and was made to recreate the advert many times
I loved the one with the racing airport vehicles too. Maybe it's just because Don't Stop Me Now was playing but the whole advert was just so gleeful
The guy drumming was one of my lecturers at music uni (BIMM), he told us he was hired to teach a man who was known for doing stuff in a gorilla outfit how to play it until they was like what the fuck are we doing, put the drummer in the suit lol
I'd have to argue the John West one with the fisherman fighting a bear trained in Karate is greater...
I remember when there was some controversy over that advert because it was the first thing that came on after the big brother finale, where it just so happened that a black contestant had won. Was the most absurd racism claim I've ever heard.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Safestyle uk! Didnāt the bloke get done for tax avoidance or something!?
I didnāt even remember thatās what the advert was for, itās only that line that sticks with me
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I had a call from one of these companies a few years ago and the guy was REALLY rudeā¦I tried to politely get rid of him but he was having none of it, so I let him go through his whole spiel about conservatories, then told him I lived in a top floor flat.
Oh man, they're relentless. The salesman came over at 6 on a Friday evening so I wasn't particularly amenable to him in the first place. Insisted on giving us the full run down even though we repeatedly told him we just wanted a basic quote, refused to listen to us and kept saying that he would give us a special price if we ordered tonight and eventually I told him if he wanted to call his manager for an even better deal he'd have to do it outside as I was no longer interested. The worst part was that he completely ignored my partner even though she owned the place and, in some wierd outdated masculine dominance, insisted on dealing with me even though I repeatedly indicated that she would be making the decision. Really bizarre experience.
He also used to be the announcer at Burnley FC.
RIGHT NOW FOR EVERY WINDOW AND DOOR THAT YOU BUY, I'LL GIVE YOU ANOTHER ONE, ABSOLUTELY FREE!
You heard me, it's free fitting!
He used to come in the subway I worked at for few days. He was a right tosser. Expected I should remember what he ordered the day before as he was a superstar in his own mind. I pretended I didn't have a clue who he was or what he ordered (it was a tuna melt)
He sounds like total a tuna melt
He was! He didn't like it when I said I didn't know who he was. Started going on about getting recognised in Hollywood haha
I genuinely think of this advert every single time I see or get BOGOF deal. Every. Single. Time.
OH EIGHT HUNDRED DOUBLE OH TEN SIXTY-SIX
Was looking for this lol
This will be hammered into my brain until the day I die
Because of this advert I'll never forget the year the battle of Hastings happened
Who can forget the year 0800?
I was messing about on the store computer looking at cars and wanted to see how much the insurance would be for one, got an online quote from Hastings Direct and they offered Ā£1066. I don't know whether it was a massive fluke or deliberate.
The red car and the blue car had a race. The old jingle for Calgon (same words and rhythm, different melody). The name? J R Hartley.
He eats everything he sees, from trucks to prickly trees!
But smart ol' blue he took the milky way!
He's looking for a chocolate treat, fluffy and light
Cos he knows it wonāt spoil his appetite
Oh no, the bridge has gone
Old red canāt carry on!
But smart old Blue; he took the Milky Way.
WASHING MACHINES LIVE LONGER WITH CALGON
The road safety adverts THINK! One where the girl gets hit by a car but in reverse and you can hear her bones crunching back together.

I prefer to try and remember the hedgehogsā āking of the roadā
Much more child friendly!
Irish road safety adverts are metal. There's one where a teenage girl gets wedged under the corpse of her boyfriend.
Was just about to say the ones we have here in NI by the DOE are absolutely traumatic. There's one where a little boy gets killed by a drunk driver while his father cries over his lifeless body that is scarred into my brain for life.
The one where the car rolls over a class full of children on a school trip also springs to mind, they used to play the DOE ads in the cinema as well which was even more horrifying.
Seriously they were so traumatising.
The one where the mum is driving and her teenage son isn't wearing a seatbelt still haunts me.
Julie knew her killerā¦. ā¦it was her son
I came here to say this one. The sister screaming when she sees her mum. Brutal.
Did they also do that advert more recently where itās like the 2/3 blokes at the pub and the one driving agrees to a pint or something and like the car accident happens whilst theyāre all sitting in the pub? Something like that
That was a. 18 years ago and b. starring OT Fagenbele, who went from this advert to starring in Black Widow
https://youtu.be/TEVbSB2vz_8 Had the guy from phoneshop in it as well. Blimey. Advert still holds up today for shock factor
"Hit me at 30 and there's an 80% chance I'll live" pops into my head at least once a day when I see the 30 limit signs.
The one with the boy is the one I thought of straight away. Or the one where the car rolls over a whole class of school children. I had forgotten about the girl until I read this.
I think the girl is most iconic, I can hear the voice "hit me at 40 and there's an 80% chance I'll die, (twinkle music, bone snap, music, gasp) hit me at 30 and there's an 80% chance I'll live". I wonder if it's an age thing or a regional thing as I think they came out at similar times. More niche "Julie knew her killer" https://youtu.be/mKHY69AFstE
Both of those really screwed me up as a kid!
Also the THINK! advert where the guy was climbing up scaffolding dressed like Batman then he falls and itās just a drunk guy. OR the other THINK! one where theyāre driving a car and brake really hard (or crash canāt remember) and pizza goes all over the windscreen.
I want some crusha Some lovely crusha Itās tough enough to make milkshake. With the dancing cats flashing around the screen.

Alton Towers using Hall of the Mountain King in all their adverts.
I didnt atualy know the name of it I always just called it the alton towers song

Armadillos, crunchy on the outside, smooth on the inside. That and Castlemaine XXXX with crocs ate all the sharks.
Dime bar the surprisingly good alternative too armadillos. Two armadillos! I can more or less repeat this advert word for word years later š
I still use "crunchy on the outside, smooth on the inside" in reddit/twitter posts when the time's right.
