Get This S*** Off The Air! - UDL premixed vodka, 2000

Just got this comment on TikTok. Can anybody loop in the Dreamland guy?

Buying stuff online in the year 2000

Come for the fake ads. Stay for the tediousness.

Does CC stand for crack cocaine in this instance because you'd have to be on something to create this fever dream of an ad!

Hyundai self-selling car, 2000

Channel 10 promo for ‘Switching Lives’ and ‘Unreal TV’ broadcast in the wrong aspect ratio, February 2000

A worthy cause

Welcome to VHS Revue

This is good fun. Choose your ABC (Australia) clock, tweak the interference, ghosting etc. You can even choose when to have the pips. @dirtyfeed.org @matt.cymru @aldupres.bsky.social mubd.net.au/tv-history/a...

Finally got a chance to see Callum Preston’s ‘Video Land’ exhibition at Melbourne’s Immigration Museum. Fantastic. I actually found it really hard to leave. It’s still open for a couple more weeks so check it out.

Time to have some Sanitarium™️ Fun In The Kitchen @vhsrevue.bsky.social

The 1986 ad that Penfolds would rather forget

Everything about this zoo ad is OMG WTF but the most OMG WTF thing is that zoo magazine was still a thing in 2011!

Lol

You certainly don’t see this on commercial TV any more. An ad for ABC Radio 702BL that aired on Channel 7, 1986

Just wild how NBC licensed Let’s All Be There to Australia’s Channel 7 network, which used the theme for both entertainment promos and its news theme. And it’s still remembered there, too! youtu.be/m7zCQtCijPE?...

Australia loves sticking a prime minister in a TV commercial. Here’s Bob Hawke spruiking the Australian Army Reserve in 1986

It’s my end of year blog post on my freshly updated website (now with higher resolution images!) davidmgreen.com/man-alive-20...

Brilliant ad for Mansours, 1986

I hear @davidmgreen.bsky.social was boogieing away to the 7 News Sydney theme of the mid-eighties: Adelaide loved it so much: they made a sixty second news promo with nothing but the theme (thank Andrew Heslop for the find). youtu.be/E-KQdk9v2pk...

True story. Except for the public defecation bit.

Not Quite Right. A real store, apparently. 1997

The taste of Lean Cuisine, 1997

With the remastered Beatles Anthology documentary coming to Disney+, someone should look back at the original Australian broadcast from November 1995. Oh wait we did that 9 years ago! And boy some of the ads were real doozies… Watch it here: youtu.be/_hi2MK7hLmU?...

Maggi Cup Noodles: Breakfast of Criminals (1997)

I have just learned that Bobo from Fat Pizza is in this commercial thanks to the comments.

Americans have found this burrito ad and they are going nuts in the comments
