I still have a couple of memorable adverts running around on my head, and have been known to mutter a few lines, usually in earshot of someone ..

Ches n Dale.. we are the boys from down on the farm, we really know our cheese ....

Kentucky Fried Chicken ... Hugo said you go, but I said, no you go, and soon he was back with a pack and we sat in the back, feeling better in siiiiide..
A ride isn't funny on an empty tummy, thank goodness for Kentucky Fried...

Apologies if already posted - my fave: "Monique says you're dumb" drink driving ad:

https://amara.org/videos/0mZYeNhXd6Xp/en/549160/

Gets quoted in my house almost as much as "The Castle" does.

"You know I can't grab your ghost chips'! "Internalising a complex situation inside my head"! Classic.

Dancing Cossacks National Party ad - 1975

...

And because I looked up that one on Youtube, I got this one for the Labour party in 1984 - very familiar themes then as right now:

Supermarket at around 1m10s - cigarettes on display on the end cap. For reference, 2L of Milk in 1984 was $1.

Haven't got any links but the road safety and ACC ads used to be quite graphic and brutal back in the day.

Fair Go best ad, if I recall correctly.

I have quite a few old ads... I may upload them if they are specifically mentioned :)

"I regret to say that we of the F.B.I. are powerless to act in cases of oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate commerce." — J. Edgar Hoover

"Create a society that values material things above all else. Strip it of industry. Raise taxes for the poor and reduce them for the rich and for corporations. Prop up failed financial institutions with public money. Ask for more tax, while vastly reducing public services. Put adverts everywhere, regardless of people's ability to afford the things they advertise. Allow the cost of food and housing to eclipse people's ability to pay for them. Light blue touch paper." — Andrew Maxwell
