Basing this thread mostly on some old skype conversations me, Glenn & Jii had in the late 00's, plus Glenn's recent Roll Out Roll Call panel where he showed off some old TV ads.
Thought I'd kick things off with Tempo Video: that old VHS company who put out a tonne of old Hasbro / Sunbow properties in the mid - late 80s. I'd watch these ads as much as I would the actual video itself back in the day.....

The soundtrack to this advert is STILL in my head, even after around 30 years.

LOVED the Tempo adverts when I was a kid. Not just for the cartoons either, the audio cassettes they advertised intrigued me too.

For the record: that kid looks fucking scared of Leech. With an intro like that, I would be too.
Elsewhere in the 80s: casual racism!

I always remember loving this ad as a kid. Don't ask why.

Yup. This says a lot about the north.

i think I know now why I don't remember ads from back in the day from the weird, racist and unintentially funny stuff they used over here on utv. The computer one alone. There's probably a good reason they don't make those anymore, Note that this was an era when the local accent WAS often covered up wij a terrible attempt at genetic English Accents on adverts most of the time. . youtu.be/Vh7KGXswne0

Hehe, "Wang".
Speaking of old computer ads, how about these ones from Australia?

Depending on Bird'sEye's nostalgia factor in Europe, we might actually be in with a subliminal shot this year...

Okay its early 90s but I always remember this advert mainly cos it was always on the VHS tapes I used to tape the 60s Batman TV show on Channel 4.

Remember Prime computers? Well, unless you were Australian and a business in the 80's, then probably not. But Prime DID have some great adverts, starring no less than Tom Baker and Lalla Ward...
