I see that model Nik Kamen has sadly died. For me the 1985 Levi's ad, set in the laundrette, to the music of 'Heard It Through the Grapevine' was up there with the finest. Any other contributions?
just read in the newspaper that he intended to wear yfronts but the censor said it would be obscene .so he wore boxers . i loved that ad it was so funny with all those women goggled eyed . such a kind man he was ./ loved his music . another golden oldie gone .if you remember the 70's you old .haha
Do love the snoop dog one for just-eat! Did love the Levi’s iconic one! Not too keen on all the celeb warbutons ones though ... some ads are just totally bonkers and don’t even make sense or are actually relevant to the product!!!
"Do you love someone enough to give him/her your last Rolo?" or words to that effect. One of these was in a circus with a young elephant who was being teased by a smug young man in a tank top. Years later same man is approached by the elephant, also a little older and who never forgot and literally swipes the smile off the man's face with his trunk.
The tea ad with the cat and the dog on the sofa who put the kettle on and enjoy a cuppa each.
Perhaps not my absolute favorite but I think Levi could show the Nick Kamen ad a few more times. The youngsters will see what got us hot under the collar last Century!
The girl who thinks she has got one over on her dad when she retrieves the pound from the trolley in the supermarket. Can’t remember what the advert is for but love her cheeky face ( reminds me of my granddaughter) Also the little girl who goes to buy her mum a bar of chocolate and pays with buttons & toys
If you are very old and remember the start of commercial tv. there was a cigarette ad - "You're never alone with a Strand". This showed a lonely Sinatra type walking at dusk along the Embankment with haunting music. I was young and thought it so sophisticated.
Does anyone else quote from some of these ads in every day life? For instance, if we see someone struggling to park, we always say 'There's Reginald Molehusband'.
Well, there aren't really any now! The days of Pepsi and Coke and Smash are long gone. But if I had to choose one campaign it would be the Nationwide one. It's been on some time and it's still got legs.
