my fave advert from years gone by was the cartoon one with the kid and his cat charlie, the don't go with strangers add that always started .....charlie says lol

The "Charlie says" ads, were in fact just 1 in a long line of public information films. I've been collecting these over the years off the net. There were about 5 or 6 of the Charlie films.
My personal fave of the public information films has to be the learn to swim one..
I wish.. I wish I didnt keep loosing me birds.. Then learn to swim young man, learn to swim.
Also good was the ones with petunia and her husband..
Theres a man out there in a rubber dinghy.. oh look, he's waving... cooee!
Cut to scene of man frantically waving for help biggrin

Dunno if this falls into that category but when 'telly' was finishing late at night there was a 'bedtime routine' one, a man and a woman dancin abart....
'check and make sure you lock every door, your life could depend on your bedtime routine!'
Another, which I can't remember what it was for was
'ooh I wish I'd brought me brolly'

That was a pelican crossing safety ad

Loved the one about following the Country Code, starring Joe and Petunia :thumbup:

'Jo:
You know, there's a farmer down there with a purple face.
Cut to shot of angry farmer.
Petunia:
I expect it's all that sun and the open air life, Jo.
The farmer jumps around in anger.
Jo:
Now he's doing one of those country dances.'

Does anybody remember this ad and what it was for?
Basically a shop gets held up
Guy behind counter has his hands up so cannot press emergency button,
Que: Extremely sexy woman starts pouting her lips and revealing her breasts.
Guy behind counter watching her,getting more and more aroused untill eventually he nudges the button.
Really bugging me as i thought it was one of the funniest ads ive seen and just cant remember what it was for.

After one episode of their famous TV shows, Johnnie Craddock turns to the watching fans and said without any irony, "Great cooking, is making doughnuts like Fanny's." The phrase has since passed into legend.

"and muffins that are moist and sticky like Fanny's" (Johnnie Craddock)

Thought of a couple of beer ads from yonks ago.
Whitbread Trophy Bitter.....the pint that thinks it's a quart (advert in a working mens club with a little bloke and a massive glass).
Probably only in the north there was Websters Pennine Bitter which featured Freddie Trueman breathing fire after drinking it. I had a session on it once and I'm afraid the fire was coming from the other end lol.
HEY..........I'd love a Babycham (big bloke sat at the bar).
Bloddy hell.....memories!

Not a funny one but I really liked the Guinness White Horses.
Both theTV add and the posters were good but it was most impressive in a cinema :!:

"As I sat looking up at the Guinness ad,
I could never figure out
How yer man stayed up on the surfboard
After fourteen pints of stout."
