Back in the 1980s the Kellogs corporation thought “how will we advertise our soluble wheat cakes?” After a little too much cocaine, the answer was reached. Skinheads! Threatening you into eating it!
Well, skinheads and the most Eighties cliches they could find.
Also some Irish ads. First, a commercial from the Irish equal marriage referendum a few years ago. Utterly awesome (and not just saying that because I know one of the stars/writers).
And, the infamous Guiness Dancing Man ad that haunted many a drunken nightmare in the Nineties.

God that commercial ran every summer for years.
I’ll start with what is undoubtedly the most famous political ad of all time and move on from there.
This was made to play in movie theaters back in ’82.

“Smash” is a brand of instant mashed potatoes in the UK. It’s known for two things - tasting like crap, and these ads from the 80s.
This ad for “Tango” fizzy orange drink was actually pulled in the 90s due to fears that kids would imitate the slap.
It was replaced with this version, which swaps the slap with a weird hand-covering kiss thing. I guess that’s…better?

Holy shit I never knew about those Twin Peak coffee ads!
I genuinely want to know how they got the cast together to do those, and who made them. I’m guessing they were done on set during season 2. And in case it wasn’t clear enough from those ads, Japan loves Twin Peaks. Pretty much the only place Fire Walk With Me was an immediate critical and commercial success was Japan.
