I was born 1990 and became hiv+ in 2015 this ad still gets spoken about to this day. you wouldn't believe that medication has now gotten to 1 injection every 6 months. and even unprotected I can't pass it on. aids (Auto immune deficiancy syndrome) and covid19 are both viruses and with the breakthrough of psiizer, prep (pre exposure prophylactic) stops the user from being able to contract hiv in fact aids doesn't even exist in the 1st world anymore, but there are still babies being born with it in, almost every African country.australia really hated the gays for a very long time, so this ad still shakes Aussies to the core. and if you're interested in queer history, Australia has had a far more angry and violent history than any other country. les Patterson (edna average) was the poster boy for how the white Australian people treated minorities and the black Australians, but were America is going crazy with drag queens and gays, but finally over the worst when it goes to racism, Australia still shoves the natives into the middle of the country, and only helping them with food stamps so they're only allowed certain rashions.

Louie the fly ads have been around with their catchy jingle almost as long as Australia has had TV. Everyone can sing it. Catchy jingles have always been popular for our ads, they certainly help the product name stick. As well as Lube Mobile and Louie the Fly, there’s such classics as the Aeroplane Jelly song, We’re happy little Vegemite’s, C’mon Aussie C’mon for the cricket and Aussie kids are Weetbix kids. “That’ll be the phone Reg” has been adopted into everyday speech much like “Not happy Jan”

Holden used to be an Australian brand of car. It was firstly a coach builder, then a vehicle assembler, then a wartime military manufacturer and then, in 1948, it became affiliated with General Motors, as General Motors Holden or GMH, and began manufacturing a fully Australian car. Ford soon followed suit with a local variant of the Falcon, which later became a fully Australian car as well, and Chrysler some time later. Holden closed their doors in 2018 after General Motors abandoned right hand drive production. It is the loss of a marque that we will regret for some time to come. Holden became the Aussie equivalent of Opel in Europe or Vauxhall in the UK or Chevrolet/Pontiac/Oldsmobile/Buick in the US

We’d often see brand new cars going around the rest track with “Vauxhall” branded across the hood and bonnet. Friends and family used to work there and everyone confirmed any car coming off the production line branded Holden was staying in Australia but those marked “Vauxhall” were destined for the UK.

In the early 2000s in Australia (at least in NSW & Vic) there was this ad campaign to get people to stop smoking, which had a girl telling a story to her dad who was in a hospital bed with a ventilator. It was morbid, but it was played on TV so much that, when it was played during one of my health classes in high school, all of us students recited it in unison with the ad. I think a similar thing happened when we had an excursion to the cinema too. I can still remember the words to this day: "We started playing cricket, and I hit the ball so high, that uncle Mark... he forgot where he was going... he tried to catch the ball, and landed face first in the mud. It was so funny, dad. You should've been there." Also, the version you watched of the reading writing hotline was the updated chilled-out version of the song. There used to be another more upbeat one with a woman's voice singing the number, which was the more memorable version (& it also has more of the classic Aussie jingle sound). It's in this video starting at 1 min: kzitem.info/news/bejne/1IOOrKWcjWOomIY

The great thing about a lot of these ads is that they weren't just made once. They became the standard for that company and they would remake them for decades. There are so many versions of Cotter's, Vegemite, and RACQ ads that all follow heir standard formats. So not only did people hear the iconic songs once, but they hear variations of them for years and they really stuck. It also became really useful for public health campaigns. Sid the Seagull (from Slip! Slop! Slap!) was updated in recent years to include seek and slide. If you say slip slop slap every Aussie knows exactly what you mean. Similar campaigns were used for 'Ever K over is a killer' for speeding awareness and other ones for smoking cessation. The speeding ones are rather unique because they were incredibly graphic and confronting on purpose to shock people into understanding the message. Aussie ads are built different!

I remember the cottees cordial commercial back when in school. We would always make a parody of it saying "My dad picks his nose and goes to cottees"

Louie the Fly adverts are still going strong to this day. Mortein has now branched out to target various flys, cockroaches, spiders, ants and other insect repellents and such in various forms other than sprays.

So many memories, and sayings we still use such as, That'll be the phone, Reg. And Not happy Jan! I don't remember the charter boat one though. Other memorable ads for me are Solvol, qantas (I still call Australia home), the Rhonda and Ketut series of ads, Mccains - Marge, The rains are 'ere! Cricket ads, Gogo mobile. I could keep going - so many good ads we've had over the years. 😊

I'm hoping to see the Makita "Give me my Makita back, Mack" and Banana Boat sunscreen commercials in an upcoming episode. Both classic catchy songs 😁 Edited to include the Ajax Spray and Wipe commercials.

Hey there loving these old ads they are the story of Australian life so many memories. The Grim Reaper was totally frightening but it did its job at the time and saved thousands of lives. In terms of others ads...Australian ads for Coca Cola there are some epic 80s and 90s ads easy to find. Holden and Ford car ads. Have you driven a Ford lately is a classic jingle from the 80s. Holden had Australia's driving future from the 80s. Telstra a phone company had an epic ad to I Am Australian which was a tear jerker and you can't go past Qantas ads...always make Australians cry! Also from the 70s and 80s our commercial TV ID ads so Channel 7 Channel 9 and Channel 10 our big three networks...they had some awesome ads which they just don't do anything like anymore.. happy searching

I wish I could find that aussie ad for a wood heater. It started with large ice blocks that were slowly melting while a woman talked about all the benefits of having a wood heater. Meanwhile a man just sighs and mumbles 'ah huh' and 'mmhm' until at the end of the ad he says 'I like the shape'.
