Topic: Classic 80s Adverts

[rob1966]

Does anyone remember the Insignia ad that used "It's all over now" by the Rolling Stones?  Just popped into my head while doing my morning smellie ritual.  Sadly, I still remember the lyrics

Insignia's got everything
Shampoo and Shower Gel
Deoderant and aftershave, for one all-over smell
And it new Insignia
and it's all over now.

I remember as a spotty 17-year-old getting the full Insignia set.  I can still smell it now.  The smell of an 80's teenager needed a government health warning

I couldn't remember that, then I saw the video and it came flooding back. Think we all used Insignia back in the day

Knew you’d be an Insignia bloke Rob

Oh yeah…

What has a hazelnut in every bite?!

SQUIRREL SHIT!!!

Lynx was introduced to the UK in 85, its called Axe abroad and came out in France in 1983. I think I used both Insignia and Lynx. Brut had a deodorant I seem to remember and I think Old Spice did too

I rememeber our kid spraying Kuoros on me once and me telling him to fuck off with that poncey shite. 30 years later I was wearing Creed Aventus

After Shave is what I associate Old Spice with too, but I seem to remember they did a screw up roll on, in a red oblong container, I can picture having one in the bathroom cabinet

Tabac aftershave was boss! Best smell goin that

Remember when poncey hair started comin in for fellas in the 80s and them Dads who got tints an that. Youd be round at ya mates and go the bog an the dad had just been for a shit so youd walk in a few minutes after him an first thing youd smell is hair lacquer cos he needed to respray his barnet after a Cack an then the undercurrent of shit would filter through.

Bit Like how Horse Manure smells nice an sweet at first before you taste the smell of shit up creeping up your nose 20 seconds later

The smell always reminded of Fit Mums and warm Boobs or them hairdressers cutting ya hair with the dryers on accidently rubbing a tit against your ear so you take a loada sniffs. Its too late though then when the smell creeps in cos youve eaten aboot 4 steak plates of sniff when the Cack comes knocking

Me and my mates were probably 12/13 when this came out. There was this guy who lived nearby us all and genuinely walked like Mr Soft (well, he did in our eyes) and, being the little shits we were, we used to wait for him and all sing that as he walked past.

Then run off.
