F****** hell this is taking me back to my childhood I. Feel like I've stept back in time
The aussies have the right attitude
I’ve not been able to find that Stones Bitter advert anywhere, thank you!
Nice! Thanks for watching.
Takes me back
MARS has in its add, the goodness of sugar.... lol..... how stupid we were back then,
Mind you, they used to put radioactive stuff in kids' chemistry sets years ago!
0:36 WTF?! 🤣
Those things were a proper novelty back then! I vaguely remember having the fruit machine one.
Fab! I remember some of these, don't think they'd get away with them all now. Do they still do 'Choc Dips'? I recall my mom buying me a choc dip many times I had to go local shopping with her when I was about 4 or five years old!
I've seen them in the last year or two, but not sure if they're still around.
Great selection of adverts, takes me back. These are the reason I used to love adverts when I was young! Thanks Steve.👍🏻😊
KP Choc Dips! Always wanted one the size of a bucket. Don't remember KP Poppadom's, but advert was brill 🤣👍
@ModTrash Choc Dips .. another snack that's been shrinking over the years.
How do we have all these classic commercials but we can’t manage to keep hold of the moon landing tapes 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Maybe NASA has them in a vault somewhere, along with all the other conspiracy‐proving artifacts that have been hidden away over the years by the illuminati.
Thanx for the trip down old memory lane, still remember most of these tunes. Funny, I had to skip some utube adverts to see some adverts.
Ironic, I suppose. 🫤
Ooh Cornetto.must add that to my shopping list.
The late Gary Holton, aka wayne Norris in Auf Pet, advertising Tennents larger, a Cockney advertising a Scottish brew
Another scrumptious video in the books Steve, much respect from the Western U.S.
🦅🇺🇸 🌎👍
Cherry Gillespie first up.
I thought it was her 👍🏻
Oh, how I miss Twiglets! 😭
Ahhh. My favourite part of Fridays. Can't lie, milkybar will always hold a special place in my heart. Probably because in my (very) early youth one of my mother's colleagues used to call me "milkybar kid" (i had insanely fair hair and gold framed glasses so i can see his poibt)
The Millybar ad on this compilation was one I hadn't seen before. Felt familiar though, strangely.
@@RetroSteveUK I hadn't seen the full ad but I think they used a snippet of it during an anniversary ad campaign back in the mid 2000s maybe? Only milkybar adverts I remember are the animated ones!
It clearly worked as I’m singing them before they start.
Great stuff. Two of those cracked me up. Cheers.
There are some gems out there. Shame they can't all be stone cold classics.
Ah..a glimpse into the glorious past, I mean can you imagine Cadbury's giving you more Crunchy, nah! These days they're taking it away and not even telling us! Great compilation Steve, happier times! 👍🏻🙂
Thanks. I still feel like I'm time travelling when I watch these old ads, even after spending hours making the videos.
Im American, but, I love these old UK adverts!
That's great! Nice to know we're reaching that far. Out of curiosity, do you have any history with the UK, or is just that the ads appeal regardless?
@@RetroSteveUK I've always been fascinated by the UK , the landscape, culture,and people. Unfortunately haven't been able to visit. I love Dr Who, The Beatles, James Bond, Tommy Cooper, and other aspects of British culture.
@@Emily-Whitfield Well I'm glad this channel can help with that. Thanks for watching. 😊
A Twix these days, lasts about 2 minutes!
You know what I miss? The Twix Ice Cream bar. Bit like a Mars Ice Cream, but with the biscuit down the middle. I absolutely LOVED those.
The Mars slogan was the invention of the F1 commentator Murray Walker. I knew two (one very well) of the Quick-Fit fitters,
the milkybar kid is strong and tough, and his mothers reputation is rather rough.
The vintage sweets and snacks adverts compilation was very great to watch, What year is that Galaxy advert from? I placed it about early 80s.
Well, the actress is Lysette Anthony in the days (from the look of it) when she was acting in Auf Wiedersehen Pet. That would put it around 1983-ish.
@@RetroSteveUK When will there be another vintage music advert compilation?
In general I much prefer jingles to commercial, licensed music in ads, but that Riesen Chocolate Chew jingle is absolute garbage (yet annoyingly sticky, so I guess it does its job - I do still remember it all of these years later).
Tell me about it! I hated it back then and still do now - feels a bit too "white-middle-class". However, hearing it again still triggered nostalgia. Weird feeling, simultaneous nostalgia and revulsion, AND .. that bl**dy tune was stuck in my head for two days solid after editing it!! 😫
And horrifically mispronounced! It's rye, like the crop, ryes-en, not reason. Bloody yanks!
I’m confused. What age were celebration chocolates released?! I thought they came out when I was a teenager / adult.
I at first thought that they were newer, too, but according to Wikipedia they launched in 1997, which is before Steve's usual cut-off of, I believe, around 2000 for his retro ad collections.
The cut-off is fairly flexible. Normally it's anything that's 4:3 ratio (ie. not widescreen) but sometimes I'll include widescreen stuff if it feels nostalgic to me (age 50). Usually, anything after 2000 just feels too new.
Is that a young Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) in the mars bar ad?
Yup. I recognise the redhead, too, but I can't place what from right now.
@@El-RitmoRight, I've just rewatched that too many times! Yeah he's definitely familiar-only person I can think of is another Eastender-Max Branning? (but with hair!)
@@nellyfett2681 I think you may be right. Not watched EastEnders in years, but he (Jake Wood) was in Press Gang and played Kill Crazy in Red Dwarf, both of which floated through my mind watching the ad. He's the best guess I have for now, anyway.
I love these glimpses into much better times.
Absolutely 🤍
I miss those proper chunky chocolate bars like Galaxy etc and with the foil wrapping you could slip through the outer wrapping, not quite the same now are they
Yes, this. I've always missed the foil wrappings. Particularly on Kit Kats - running your nail down between the choc fingers, splitting the foil as you go. Sounds a bit dodgy, reading that back! 😂
@RetroSteveUK I think you can still get foil wrapped 2 finger kit kats in the multi packs
@@stevedickson5853 That's a point. I remember now, but I haven't had one of those for quite a while. Need to buy some now.
I loved cool mints but unfortunately they had a side effect 💨
Probably ate too many. 🍬🍬🍬 🍑💨🍃
Were they sugar free? Sugar free sweets have the same effect on me if I eat too many and worse. 💩
They were sugar free and there was a warning on the packet about eating too many.
@@Opel_Guy I remember a video by LA Beast where he ate a full packet of sugar free gummi bears. It wasn't pretty! 🤣 Here, if you're curious: ua-cam.com/video/sMjgaa5j_LE/v-deo.html
8:19 The irony with this one as it turns into a retro McDonald's. The founders NEVER wanted or served Hot Dogs.
Why does everything have to shrink in size ??? can nothing ever be BIGGER than it was apart from COL?? Quality street etc re tiny now,they taste awful.. im sick of everything we like being taken awY. We are even ruled what we eat,. Sugar ouffs becoming puffed wheat, what bolocks
Big business & profit chasing, and the rich chasing more riches, all requires the working people getting stiffed.
The end of the Fairy liquid one choked me up for some reason… 😢 that music
Funny how these things can get you sometimes. 🥲
Just let me go back
The size of the king cones back then unlike today's
Don't get adverts like these anymore, bring them back 😅
@@sweetpea3795 Will do! 😂👍
Even with the bad things it really was a better time
Love these videos you do 🔥🔥🔥🔥 any chance you can make them longer 👍🔥
@@gamingmadness8158 If I make them longer I'd run out of material. I'm also trying to split my time between this, my second channel, and my full-time job. I do a yearly Christmas compilation that's longer; there are a couple of those on the playlists.
@@RetroSteveUK ye I've seen them all m8 awesome videos nicely done 👍
Look at size of mars bar!!!!!
No Frank, unfortunately they don't 😔
Wonderful memories, life was easy wish l could return with my children and grandsons
Rip Michael
@@lucyhogan7172 😢
I remember these
I've just realised the smash ad was a rip off of the Daleks I bet the BBC were overjoyed at watching that it always caught your attention through That's in the 1980s
I used to love the Crossing the Road advert. Anyone remember the PSA with Donald Pleasence about rivers & water? That used to really scare me as a kid. "I'll be back"
The spirit of dark and lonely water, if I remember rightly.
@@RetroSteveUK I'm not sure. But I remember it terrified me. Seeing death with a black face.
Den2 BOB HEATLIE
I love Hellraiser 2. I think those first 3 movies were really good. I heard there was a reboot done a few year's back. Maybe 2 or 3 year's ago. Not sure if im interested in that.
3:25 I was listening to U.S.U.R.A yesterday. Remember their hit, Open your mind? They sampled that line from Kuato, lol. Yeah, that's a great movie. Definitely one of my favourites. I wonder if it has been given a 4K release yet.🤔
I've been meaning to watch that class of 1984 for year's. I've just added it to my horror playlist (even though I wouldn't really class it as a horror) and I'll make sure to watch it this weekend.
I do remember that track, and recognising the sample straight away.
@@RetroSteveUK Yeah, I remember when open your mind released. I was young teen, and a huge arnie fan (as I think most of us lads were, lol) and as soon as I heard the line I thought, hey, that's the little mutant fella, lol. I remember a trance track released in the 90s that sampled freddy Krueger. Well, I think it was trance. Either that or hard house. It had the line, "I am eternal." Edit: Just looked at it was a 1999 hard house track called Eternal. But it sampled a 1992 Hardcore track called Dream master.
@@TheRetroManRandySavage That old Will Smith track just sprung to mind - Nightmare on My Street. Bit of a Freddy Kruger tribute if I'm remembering it correctly.
@@RetroSteveUK lol. Man, I'd forgotten all about that song. Just had a listen to it. I don't remember the video, but it's pretty good. I remember there was a rap song used in one of the later Freddy films. I think Dokken's Dream Warriors is still the best NOES song. Did you see the NOES reboot? I'm a huge fan of the franchise and so recently bought the dvd of the reboot. I just can't bring myself to watch it as I've heard it's trash can water.😂
Did they rrally advertise 18 certificate films on tv?
@@AndreiTupolev Yeah, for sure .. as long as the trailer itself was rated for younger audiences. What I've never understood is the toys marketed at kids for 18 rated films. Freddy Kruger, Robocop .. loads more had toys & dolls aimed at children. It was quite strange.
