OK, so we're all from different places, and of different ages but a crap ad is a crap ad is a crap ad.
No wonder they sold so many Big Macs in the UK, with ads like this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=cefzoEkBmd4&feature=related I had an Atari, not because of this Ad though: http://youtube.com/watch?v=x-2lSdXSdio I wanted an Action Man Transport Command so bad it wasn't even funny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RN9yxrSt_6o Anyone who says Kentucky Fried Chicken hasn't gone down hill since the 80s is a fucking liar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUf81DY9cIo Compilations on cassette ruled the 80s like a total bastard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cu7SR...eature=related Ford Escorts were shit, but their ads were pure punk rock: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pfjC...eature=related Mad Cow disease? The 80s? Not an issue mate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOXbICmL47w Wimpy was what old ladies ate instead of Macdonalds, because you got proper knives and forks. Then they went all Motown in their ads and noone liked them anymore: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e99g...eature=related This one was directed by Ridley Scott, and in my opinion kicks the living shit out of crap like Blade Runner: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFLBvLxLJMI |

Hehehe. I had the 70s version of that game. It was brilliant. What's more you could disconnect the gun and fire ball bearings at your little sister. Well at least that's what I used to do. Happy days! |

Everyone in Britain will know this one off by heart, but for our American friends, sit back and prepare yourself for the greatest advert in human history:

Yeah, but check that packaging. Proof that Britiain in the 70s was still living on 50s ideals. |

Breakfast cereal and skinheads? Not a ludicrous connection when it came to Britain in the 80s:

Would love to see some European monstrosities to ad to the collection ... Slavo? Shentov? Neffeli?
