Try getting a family sized pizza from Pizza Hut, as well as 2 garlic breads, a 1.25 litre bottle of Crapsi and 12 fun sized Mars bars for under $20 today. Damn inflation, you'd be lucky to get just the pizza alone for that much nowadays.
That looked like it was aimed at kids birthday parties or other social gatherings of people with bland taste in food. What makes me cringe thinking about is that I know that there would’ve been some fatties out there who would’ve have that order between two people or even to one person. I have to smirk thinking about an advert with that market on it; some oily sweaty super fat parson with the bottom their gut poking out the bottom of their sweatshirt and the top of their bumcrack showing at the top of their jogger pants.
Back then we didn’t mean anything by the word oriental. It just meant south East Asian. That snack pack was yummy. I remember it. The wings were basted in an Asian type marinade. It was an era of Asian inspired food surfacing. Only a few years later we had ads for things like Kan tong which were a lot worse imo did to the stereotypes. I’m so chuffed this ad made this video and an Oporto one didn’t. I’m very partial to RR because it was founded in my state (WA) and it’s always compared with Oporto because Oporto was Sydney’s chicken fast food chain before RR crossed the border even though it’s totally different.
Andy Summers No different to the KFC used in commercials nowadays actually. Just like ALL food/fast food ads, then AND now, they prepare the food to make it look so fresh, perfect and enticing. And we all know that in reality, then AND now, they look almost NOTHING LIKE the way they do in the ads.
I think they either bought the Smiths ads from America. Or used the same concept here. Because I'm fairly certain that the gobbledok was also in Smiths ads in the States, before it appeared in Australia.
Does anyone remember a TVCM with an Australian army tank driving through a dam and catching a yabbie? One soldier yells out "look what Davo's done". It's driving me crazy trying to remember the CM.
Yep, then they serve him this huge platter of rice with the single yabbie on top. It was one of the Army Reserve ads, back when they always used the 1812 Overture as their theme.
Jesus, that Red Rooster ad Lmao...... It wasn't even *that* long ago, but these days you'd get fired for even suggesting *anything* to do with a campaign like that.
I remember each and every one. Growing up as a 70s, 80s child the television was the home centrepiece. We all gathered around daily to watch, and advertising was Full of melodies, chords and chorus….. Whoever is uploading all these videos must have some connection to the advertising world?
If you lived in regional Australia you might not have. Different marketing. I grew up, and still live, in regional NSW, and visiting relatives in Sydney saw adverts that just didn’t appear on local stations. Vice versa my relatives were shocked to see ads for Ag products etc when they visited us. To some extent still applies. Especially Radio.
TH3 PLA1NP1L0T yes. Burger King had to change to Hungry Jacks in Australia because the business name was already registered and used by a burger joint.
If ads didn't explode in our faces we might watch more tv. I've had enough of the volume of the ads. Don't try to tell us they're the same volume as the rest of the programs, they're made to explode in our faces and they're turned off in our place.
Really? That's one of the most popular characters to come out of an Aussie advert campaign... Now, when it come to Charlie Chickenhawk and the Fabulous Mr Fox,and their debate on whether KFC is great for the herbs and spices, or the way it's cooked...
@@Mav_F she was also in home and away n played a character named karen way back in the 90s. From what i read she left the acting gig n moved on. Pity she really was a good actor.
Well Pizza Hut used to be owned by Pepsico. It took me a while to getting used to seeing Coke there. When Pepsi had been there for almost 50 years. I remember Coke being the drinks for KFC until they switched.
