This is a pretty classic ad lineup 😊 Yep, that's a young Cate Blanchett in the Tim Tam ad. The ad was a lot more famous than her back then! The Aeroplane Jelly and Vegemite ads are from the 50s, but both have been re-run or modernised overthe years, so multiple generations know them. "Not happy, Jan!" became a standard phrase ppl used to express disappointment/disapproval. Slip, slop, slap is a skin cancer prevention ad, very well known to kids of the 80s and 90s. The "Emperor Nasi Goreng" line is one of my all-time favourites, bc it's clear the Dad has no idea what he's talking about 😂

"I love Aeroplane Jelly" and "We are happy little Vegemites" are old old ads from the 60s and EVERY Aussie knows them, even the youngsters of today who don't know why they know them but it is because their parents sang the songs to them as kids. Another in the same genre would be the ad for Cottee's cordial ("My Dad picks the fruit that makes the cordial, that I like best!) Another old classic is the KFC ad from the 1970s/80s (kzitem.info/news/bejne/kY-qp4p_gKNinqQ)

The Telstra ad has been trimmed. A non-Australian might not know that Australia actually does have very long fences erected to keep rabbits out of agricultural areas.

OK some absolute classic Oz ads: - Solo Man series. Solo is an Australian soft drink. It had a guy kayaking an d wrestling a crocodile with the tag line "you have to work it hard to be a solo man" and "you've got to crack a solo". - Golden Gaytime Ice cream . slogan "you can't have a gaytime on your own". - John West 1980's ads with the Japanese guy who says "ah kahn anoo!" Believe it or not that became a cult phrase in 1980's Australian high schools. - Telecom 1980's ads "The Way we Were". - AIDS 1980's PSA with the Grim Reapers at a bowling alley - "Norm" Life Be in it PSA to get people into sports and exercise. - PSA "Don't be a Wally with Water". - American Express "Mr Wong Mr Wong I've lost all my travellers cheques". He says "what kind were they?" - Razzamattazz pantyhose "razzamattazz oh oh" - Franco Cozzo furniture ads. Megallo Megallo Megallo come and buy it at Franco Cozzo - Cadbury block of chocolate with Professor Julius Sumner Miller. Enjoy!

Yes,that was Cate Blanchett. I forgot she did that ad and yes she is Australian. She is always coming home and not that long ago they made her the Director of the Sydney Opera House. She accepted the job for 4 years and she still made movies all over the world. Antz pantz ads or Tradies underwear or QANTAS ads. There are years of those when they used the Seekers song. They are all beautiful.

The two old looking ads are the originals from the 50s. They were used again with coloured highlights not that long ago. During the 70s there was an ad agency that did their own songs which were extremely catchy! And the language used does sometimes become part of our every day usage.

VERY classic and very well remembered. It's not often people look forward to the adds. But in those days, people used to stop what they were doing to listen to, or sing-a-long to the adds. Australian got even funnier after these classics and began to take on a life of their own.

Another famous (at the time) series of adds were the "Clayton's" (a non alcoholic) drink adds. .ike the not happy Jan. Fhe word Clayton's has also entered our slang. The odd thing is most young people don't know it means "fake". As I mentioned in another vid. The skin cancer add is famous. Its been updated numerous times. And EVERYONE knows what Slip Slop Slap means. And it is indeed use in the vernacular as a term for applying sun lotion.

Any list of top Aussie ads has to have Norm and the Life. Be in it ads. Also, the No Knickers ‘I’m wearing. No Knickers. At all’ ad was a classic ad of the late 1970’s. Probably way too politically incorrect these days, but the ‘Anyhow, have a Winfield’ ciggie ads with Paul Hogan were a phenomenon in the 1970’s.

I remember them all. 😂 “Not happy Jan” used to be heard all across Australia for many years while that ad was on tv 😂😂😂😂 You missed out on the Farmers Union Iced Coffee ads. They were always classic! Ballet dancing skid steers and lots of Aussie larakins! There was also an ad where a lady had run out of milk so she was angry and when she got to the shop a bloke was trying to rob the shop so she smashed the robber in the head with her milk! Can’t remember what they were advertising but I will always laugh when remembering that one!

Cate Blanchett started acting after entering NIDA(National Institute of Dramatic Art) in 1992. After several successful roles on Australian theatre stages, she starred in an ABC prime time tv drama Heartland in 1994; followed by roles in Bordertown(1995), G.P.(1989), Police Rescue(1994), with her debut film Paradise Road in 1997. She then went on to become an International Star.

@@osocool1too My apologies. I only knew the ad from TV, so assumed it had been made after TV first hit Australia - 1956 - so I thought it was funny that you thought we had TV in the 30s. From other comments in here, I learned that it was made for cinema ads first and then adapted for TV, so 30s makes perfect sense. Sorry about that - good old "ass-u-me" doing its thing.

Got a call from Mr. Fryer, he's bringin round a buyer The kitchen looked a fright from the little do last night Although I thought quite sickly, I had to clean it quickly With Spary n Wipe All Purpose, I cleaned up every surface Spray n Wipe's a breeze, coz it cuts through toughest grease The kitchen's sparkling clean, and the buyers very keen So thank you.....

A lot of the catchy ads from the seventies and eighties were developed by a creative agency called MOJO. Incredibly successful over that era.
