Classic adverts

Post by Spitfire »

Was looking through some of them when posting material for another thread and when I look back on them then they were full of humour, not this sanitized stuff we get now.

Remember all the old beer ads, Hamlet ads etc, about as un-PC as they come, but grew up with that stuff and now wouldn't see the light of day as the social fascists have got their way.

So, if anyone's interested then post your favourite ads on here so we can see them again.

I know, a bit of a retro charge, but many are very funny. :cheers:

Great ads everyone, hadn't even seen that Bridgestone one Pharvey. :thumb:

That Hamlet one with the *osser in the Ferrari is one of my favourites. Couldn't happen to a more appropriate type of fella.

Always remember this Hamlet one too.......




Can't even look at tobacco products in a 7-11 now. :roll:

Not really a classic as its only a few weeks old ... but this rocks:

^That taxi would come in handy for getting from the pub in Hua Hin to Suvarnabhumi for those midnight flights back to Europe!
