Not that old but I am amused by the Specsavers series of ads.
Classics were the Oxo family which went on for years.

The Smash adverts with the robots was quite funny along with the Dunlop advert where every thing with rubber in it disappeared from the screen like the old boy getting into his dinghy.  :005:


FFCFOREVER

I liked the R Whites lemonade advert with the guy creeping downstairs in the middle of the night in his striped pyjamas.

It's just as well that the 'orrible fizzy beer isn't as memorable as the advert!

1001 cleans a big big carpet for less than half a crown!

For hands that do dishes and are as soft as your face its brand new Fairy Liquid.

You'll wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent.

Boom boom boom it's Esso blue.
The world is made up of electrons, protons, neurons, possibly muons and, definitely, morons.

Interesting fact about the Pepsodent advert,they tried selling the product in an African country with that jingle only to find that in this particular country yellow teeth were considered to be a thing of beauty and they brushed their teeth with a tree bark to achieve that.
The product subsequently failed.

Boom boom boom it's Esso blue.

Toby Ale advert in 50s/60s.

It all began in the Spouter Inn back in Old Ben Tucket.
Where the Ale you drunk was flat and thin, fit only for the bucket.
My lads I cried we've had enough
He's right ya lubbers let's chuck the stuff, and ship with Toby high let's sail.
And join the quest for a strong Pale Ale.
And so we sailed the seven seas.
Half the bar for twelve degrees.
And never an Ale we could sight.
Or please enough or taste quite right. 
Until one day Ale ahoy from the top lookout.
Cut the cackle, loosen the shackle.
Loosen all screws there she brews.
And that was an Ale to shout about.
A whale of an Ale strong yet Pale.
Its not the man in the fight, it's the fight in the man.  🐘

Never forget your Roots.

Strand was a brand of cigarettes produced by W.D. & H.O. Wills (part of Imperial Tobacco), launched in 1959 but withdrawn in the early 1960s. The launch was accompanied by a huge television advertising campaign, You're never alone with a Strand.

Remember those Strand ads well - a bloke in a trenchcoat in the shadows,  collar turned up, like a scene from the Third Man film and TV series, lighting a fag.

Shows the power of those  ads that we still remember them.
