My husband sent me this earlier. It's ace. And I definitely remember it, even though I was only 11 when it came out.

First person to post the Smash advert gets a hoof in the slats 
Every pair of slightly ott alloy wheels I see now are always made by 'Carlos Fandango'.
Budweiser ads with the Chameleons spring to mind.
The Hamlet (IIRC - or was it Heineken???) advert with the Aborigine throwing boomerangs - it was the first time I had seen an advert split over multiple slots in an ad break. Each part showed him throwing the boomerangs (and not coming back) and the final slot showed them all coming back at once and pummelling him.
It was really clever as the viewer had no idea what was going on after the first two slots - just this random bloke throwing boomerangs with absolutely no branding visible.
Edit - found it (and it was Heineken)

Advertising was getting better and better on the TV, then the internet arrived and it all went pants.
you can see the paint running off where he holds the wet can
That bloke's a nutter. OI NUTTER!
I remember that well

Things were a bit different when I was a kid.
Why do people post youtube links without embedding or without a description?

Fly fishing by J R Hartley
The greatest 80s advert ever.
The old xxxx ads were always good.
"I Think We've over done it with the Sherry...."
And the one I get quoted every time I tell people where I'm from.
