On the subject of Heineken ads, who remembers the one with the aborigine throwing boomerangs that came back only when he had drunk some Heineken? It was in instalments between other ads, and I remember watching in on the TV in a pub. Everyone was saying 'what the f... is that about' till the final instalment when he drank some Heineken and all his boomerangs came back.

@derekporter7658 2 года назад

Richard Marner (Colonel Von Strom) in the Cockburns advert! Tom Baker narrating the Skol advert. The Heineken ad with "the water in Majorca" is well remembered! The kestrel ad with Russ Abbott was hilarious. The best booze advert by far was Harp the "Lionel Blaircut" one! 2nd best was the McEwans lager ad with the dystopian ball clock. (Check out Rikki Fulton Scotch and Wry mickey take on it!)

@edgarbeat275 2 года назад

The funny thing is Richard Marner really could speak fluently Russian one of four languages he could speak.

@derekporter7658 2 года назад

@@edgarbeat275 I think Richard Marner was infact Russian by heritage, I think 🤔! So that would be fitting that he could speak the language. I'm fairly sure he also appeared for a brief moment in the film "The odessa files" I just remember his character riding a bike in a film.

@barriehobbs4533 2 года назад

In 2005 I went to live in Mallorca (still there) to teach English. Even though that was years after the ad came out everyone I knew spent the 6 months before I left reminding me that the water there didn't taste "quite like it should". There hasn't been a week since when I haven't looked at some student or other and thought "the water....." But it still isn't as good as the "overdone it on the sherry" one. For me the best ad ever.

He's done it for the past twenty years. Anyway, my parents, my sister, my brother in law and I were enjoying a yummy meal at Brown's, Bristol, about 15 years ago, when my brother in law got an emergency call. There was a stranded porpoise in the River Severn. Anyway, he got up and left his lovely lunch, and the porpoise was all right in the end. But what a cool bloke!

Thing that fascinates me about these adverts is when it was that I saw each one for the last time. I mean there was a period where some of them were on for many months on end and it seemed to go on forever. Its just an odd feeling thinking about the transience of life and how it passes...

@jamesbussey2911 2 года назад

I'm glad I was a young person when I was - in the 1970s and '80s. We're getting the benefit of all the 1960s Sci-Fi concepts coming true, from a period when we were optimistic about solving the problems of the world through technology. Now there are twice the amount of people on the planet, over-population is causing a lot of stresses and strains we haven't seen before. Plus, British people were known for their sense of humour in the old days: I think we started losing that when 21st century 'comedians' stopped telling jokes and just started moaning about life instead...or when telling a joke became offensive to other people. 🤔🛸🚀

@bganonimouse2754 2 года назад

@@jamesbussey2911 Mostly agree but not about the comedy - still a lot of great comedy about and if I compare it to the likes of Benny Hill and Dick Emery or even Kenny Everett. To give you your due ,you can raise me an Only Fools and Horses which came a bit later. Overall I'd say the decline in British (or global?) comedy is true but I don't think its anything to do with telling offensive jokes. Its dumbing down for family viewing and the relentless barrage of so called reality TV that is in the ascendancy. People are obsessed with celebrities now and have less time for comedy or comedians.
