funny how most people hate ads, and yet in my brain, I can still remember so many of the ad jingles and things from the 90s - 2000s UK ads.
In fact, there's even something weirdly nostalgic about some of them.
Cornetto ice cream ads, the Renault ads with Nicole and papa, or the tango man.
I think probably the one I remember most was the Chicken Tonight ads lol.
What are some you guys remember?
I have to say, they were an improvment over the shitty Temu ads using ai voice translation i get blasted with now!
The high life 1 second commercial. I remember seeing this during the Cardinals/Steelers Super Bowl.
view on m.youtube.comThe Hovis and, with the lad pushing his bike up the hill, always sticks in my mind. And the JR Hartley Yellow Pages adverts. Loved those.
ah yeah, the minute you said hovis the song popped right in there (New World Symphony apparently )
There’s an irritating jingle by Toys R Us - something to the effect of I never wanna grow up; I’m a Toys R Us kid
i swear to this day i will randomly (and regularily) get the toys'r'us jingle stuck in my head
Which shows how its marketing works like a charm!
Does it ever, plus the place was amazing.
when i think of good advertising, i think of Mad Men
