Late Night 1980s Australian Ads - Saba, EON FM, etc. 

It's like another dimension... i can't believe how much world has changed since I was a kid

I really wish I could go back to these times. I really miss those days

I remember some students from Melbourne Uni broke into Saba and birdnapped Dave and Mabel for the Prosh Week Scavenger hunt. They were being looked after by Zoology students, and ransomed for a massive donation to Cystic Fibrosis research. They were returned unharmed and in better shape that they had been found, but Prosh week was banned as a result. I believe it exists again, after many years.

Most of all, I loved the night stalker. Great memories, thanks for sharing

Classic '80s commercials on late night TV. I remember all of these including EON-FM 'Rock of Ages', Minolta, Yamaha, Nissan Bluebird S/W, Pedders, Saba Furniture's "Dave & Mabel". Good ol' Channel 10 Melbourne.

The best of Australian TV from America.

Advertisements back then did not have the third world in them like today's ads. I want my country back.

Wow....I wonder whatever happened to the Saba facility it was huge .

The female anchor on the Eyewitness News ad is dressed like she's picking the kids up from school.

Channel 10 showed the A-Team and I missed out on it?! And Guests was around that long?! The Jam Factory looks SO different to what I remember?! And I went there in the late 1980's (probably 88 or 89 and it was a heavenly pearly white color inside?!) and 90's and it was still pretty good but nothing like what is shown on here where it even has an Adventure-like playground?! Whoa Mind Blown!!!! The Jam Factory in 2018 is SO bad that it's not even funny?! I mean I've waited over 35 years for the most pathetic Target store in melbourne?! It's a boring dead-zone that not even the local birds will fly past! I can't believe how cool and unique the Jam Factory was in the very early 1980's and I was totally convinced that the mid 90's (1996!) was the best time?! I wish I could back in that time and visit it but I'd never want leave sigh......

cripes The Night Stalker, I have that on DVD

The '80's...when hash' was available!

Nice to see Chris Haywood as the Guardian Angel.

we all could use a guardian angel :P

Top Collection

Is it sad that I knew within seconds, that the voiceover guy in the beginning (waffling on and on about one network) was talking about Channel 10? 😜😂

I remember all of these.

Lol..I have to agree with the ad for the Nissan Bluebird wagon. I had a series 2 wagon, owned it for 16 years and was one of the best and most reliable cars I've ever had. was even the same silver colour as the one in the ad.

Bankcard welcome.

Hoyts drive in ad. They were the days. The old drive ins should make a comeback with all the COVID bullshit. That would be one good outcome in 2020. What goes around comes around.

i missed out 20 years late (2003)

The EON.FM ad got me

Wow I’m guessing this is about 84 or 85???? Good old days damn Graham Yallop used to be gun cricketer at South Melbourne

I was so surprised of how similar Aus was to America, I thought I never got on the plane, other than the accents, lack of a good variety of guns and having animals that want to find any reason to kill you at the drop of a hat, it’s just like home. Have been going back at least twice a year for the last 18yrs. Cairns is good stuff as long as you beat the Christmas crowd.

anyone have the no fighting at home advert

Oh gawd.. Saba furniture. 4:45 Don't say baa-baa.. say Saa-baa! 😀 And Godfrey's 8:30 .. but they don't sell reconditioned washing machines or sewing machines anymore. But they still sell the cheap arse vacuum cleaners 😜🤣

I had a Nissan bluebird wagon and my uncle had a sedan. I lowered mine and put a set of Simmons mag wheels on it and fitted s big exhaust system. Everyone wanted to ride in it. Man I wish I still had it 😭

DAVE AND MABEL!! 😆😆

Hahahaha Saba! 15 acres of shit furniture! Kath and Kim would have loved that place.

Back when you had to go to the Drive-In to watch a Porno

Can anyone tell me where that Bluebird ad was filmed? Im thinking the old stadium in Swan St Richmond, where Collingwood now train. Is that correct?

4:47 The old Saba building is now Harvey Norman Dandenong…

5:04 just screams Three's Company

So many memories. Thanks vaginal.

"Straightforward, Solid, Interesting News." See how never once did he call News "True" or hint it was factual. I never noticed any of it back then, but even then, it was all about "Getting views" and not about sharing facts.

EON FM is now MMM

Pedders sounds so wrong

What instruments would be banned?

I had that model bluebird.

remember when Dave and Mebel were kidnapped, presumably a publicity stunt.

8:04 They showed porno at the hoyt's drive-in? 😮oh my

Lol.... So Hoyts showed Porn movies in the 80s? Lol.

Wait, they showed porn at drive-in theaters?

6:03 back when Chapel St had some life left in it...

All the shops have long closed down

Wish I could go back in time, Melbournes isn't recognisable now.

Listen very carefully at 1:17. 🤣

Ads tends to mean product advertising, not television show episodes.

The first. Advert is about. News. And now days we’re browbeating with the news it’s the same crap over and over and over again.

Its Grouse! EON FM rocks Melbourne. Triple M sucks!

Lol Saba furniture he

Eon fm lol

Ha ha
