Was that for Solvite?

Was that the one where he was stuck to it in all weathers and the ad ended when he was stuck there overnight?

I can semi- picture the ad in my head.It wasen't for cars I'm sure.I think there was an airbourne shot of the sea,It may have been for ESB or gas or something to do with energy.

An Riabhach · 09-10-2014 10:01pm

Ahhh....now there are memories coming back of the older animated ones before the ones just mentioned-and they had a scary snake sayin "Ssssolve it with Ssssolvite".:)

Two other ads that I remember well is the Corneto ad and I'm not too sure if this is correct 'Triple X, golden maverick'

I remember it as Triple A, not Triple X. But I could be wrong, it's a long time ago! :P

You both got it right, long time ago..

Sam Kade · 09-10-2014 10:46pm

'....coz Bisto gravy thickens with a stir,
no wonder it's the one they all prefer,
you'll never get the 'R' in gravy without Bisto..."

This legend of an ad from back in the day got a re vamp I see

An Riabhach · 18-10-2014 8:12pm

We all remember the ESB ad which had the song "Only You" in it.
But was it another ad for ESB which had this song:

"Now the night has come and the land is dark,
And the moon is the only light we see.
But I won't be afraid,no I won't feel afraid
Just as long as you stand by me.
So darlin darlin stand by me,
Please stand,stand by me...."

This ad used to scare me(well,a lot of ads used to scare me-even harmless ones).....

This ad was for Clearsil-and with a classic horror movie setting,it starts with these girls sleeping in a large dormitory in what was possibly a boarding school,theres thunder and lightning and the girls are tossing and turning in their beds and the scary voiceover says..."When you go to sleep,don't fall prey to the night time terrors like ghouls,and spectres,and SPOTS"....and then one of the girls wakes up screaming while looking into her mirror,and she goes tearing through the corridor amid the thunder and lightning....
And when the ad is over,the scary voiceover says:
"Clearsil will help stop spots going BUMP.....in the night."

They used to frighten the crap outa me-one of them had the sponge hanging on the clothes line,and the V.O.,scary as ever,saying "TV SPONGERS BEWARE-THE SQUEEZE IS ON!!" and then the sponge hanging on the line screamed ".....and tis not nice!!!"

There is an ad on the radio which I'm hearin a lot lately,with a fella talkin in a crazy voice calling himself "Banana Badger".I think the ad is about tiles or something.
But his voice sounds scarily similar to that of the TV sponger....

D'ya remember the creepy TV Licence "ads" with the "detector vans"?? :pac::pac:

An Riabhach · 30-01-2015 2:21am

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Can't say I do-and I remember a good lot of them coz TV Licence ads used to creep me out big time back then after the TV Spongers ads.Which ones were the detector vans?

Eeden · 30-01-2015 2:32am

Unfortunately I can't find any RTE ones online - but there are some BBC ones about. It just seemed absurd that a van would drive around a housing estate at night with some serious-looking technology, trying to find out which houses had a TV on

! And that they could even tell what you were watching!

This one is from the 70s, BBC:

Jaysus.......these TV licence feckers really did love to use the scaremongering tactic.
And all this just to pay the broadcasters wages.
