There was a great series of public info ads on Irish TV in the 70’s/80’s can’t find them on youtube though.

The one with the old fella bending over to turn up the radio beside the river - “Where’s Grandad!!!”
The one for German Measles with the deaf baby on the nun’s knee and the nun going " Bah " into the baby’s ear…

Those Peter Kay/John Smith ads are class. Oh Aye!!

These Wickes ones are very good as well.

Didn’t think this would be on YouTube.

A classic.

Is that the Odeon he is walking out of?

Not on YouTube but I like the Irish ad for young people urging them to talk about their problems where your man is talking about the guy who does his head in sometimes, and it is actually him.

There was a few good Lotto ones as well - remember the Irish lad drinking the pint of Guinness at the beach and proclaiming in a Dublin accent that he won the Lotto when the tycoon asked him what his business was? Then there was the one with Daniel O’Donnell playing in the auld wans house.

Probably the best of the all for me!

Wasn’t that voted the best ever in some Channel 4 poll?

Some ad in fairness.

Can’t find a clip for it but the “breakfast time back home” ad was always one that I remember.

The only ad in the last 5 years worth mentioning is the Guinness Christmas one. They don’t make em like they used to!
