Nostalgia rocks!
The television was on last night and that old advert for Milky Way was played. You know the one with the red and blue cars! I was so delighted I punched a customer.

Did anyone else see this and what old adverts do you love?

I keep wanting to break into song whenever I see her to see if she'll shimmy for me. So far resisting.

I remember vaguely the old Carling Black Label ads
With the guy playing Hamlet and then doing kick ups with Yorick. I think it was like that anyway, it's hazy I was only a babe in arms at the time.

Oh, and
this advert where this guy's having a dream about his car, I think it was a little Peugeot hatchback, and it's in the underground car park and all this weird shit is happening, and a fat parking warden sits on the bonnet eating a pickled egg, and then it gets driven into a wall and he wakes up screaming "Sarah!" implying that he has named his car this, and then he goes "phew, it was just a dream" and he goes back to sleep and his wife rolls over and looks sad and asks quietly "who's Sarah?" and that's the end.

Michael Jackson Pepsi ad
The one where the small boy sneaks into Jacko's dressing room. The look on the latter's face when he sees a young boy wearing his spangly jacket is highly amusing, if not a little concerning.

Oh the Red car and the Blue car had a race
all Red wanted to do was stuff his face
he eats everything he sees
from trucks to prickly trees
but smart old Blue he took the milky way
he's looking for a chocolate treat
fluffy and a light
'cause he knows it won't spoil his appetite
...
Oh no the bridge has gone!
Old Red can't carry on
...
but smart old Blue he took the Milky Way!

I haven't seen that in years! *Goes to YouTube to track it down*

Edit: Wow! Word perfect 20 years later!

I was singing along too... but when it got to the line "cause he knows it won't spoil his appetite" they had different words...

I almost jumped in joy when I saw it again.

They've changed some of the wording in the song though :(
