Classic ad quotes

[magpie in the 80's]

One ad i can remember from late 70's went something like this (theme might have been "have a go")

"Lets all climb that mountain, thats what mountains are for...have a go, you can do it, have a go, you'll come through it, thats how we got this country started..have a go...."

It’s a typical Aussie morning, on a typical Aussie day, and I love this place I was born in, in a typical Aussie way. And I’d sure hate to loose our sunshine, but I can feel it slipping away, and we’re gonna have to wake up sometime, ’cause everything is not OK. Have a go, you can do it. Have a go, you’ll come through it. That’s how we got the country started, boots and all, and not half hearted. So let’s all climb that mountain, ’cause that’s all mountains are for. Let’s all stand up and be counted, and show that we are worth working for. Have a go

LIFE – BE IN IT” series of Federal Government – sponsored ads in the early 1980s.

There was also an ad in the late 70's/very early 80's about water, it was realeased by the govt of the time and it was also brought out on record. A girl I went to school with and her sister were the voice overs for it. I can't for the life of me find it anywhere on Youtube nor can I find anything about it on the internet anywhere. It was called "take it easy this summer". Started off something like:

Sister: Hi My names "X" and this is my sister Sarah, she's 4..

Sarah: 4 and a half!... (then she does her little intro and goes into song)

there'll be no more trees, no buzzy buzzy bees" (cant remember the rest)

Does ANYONE remember this ad?

When I first stumbled upon Youtube, this was the first thing I looked up and it's been in my favourites ever since This one and Germs

When I first stumbled upon Youtube, this was the first thing I looked up and it's been in my favourites ever since This one and Germs

Dirt we play in and dirt we work in and everywhere around us theres bugs and germs
Who live in drains and garbage bins, some little kids even like to eat dirt *yeeeuck*

On the outside its just fine, its even good fun!
Not what you'd call good clean fun but when it gets inside you that spells trouble
with a capital D, and that spells DIRT (drouble!)

See, the trouble is, most of the dirt has bugs and germs in it,
And when dirt get inside you that causes lots of terrible things to happen to your blood and tummy!
*we're bugs and germs*

Well, if you git a cut or sore, don't let the dirt get in
Just keep it clean or cover it up so the germs can never win!
*eeeea bugs and germs*
*eeeee we're bugs and germs*

So wash your hands and scrub your nails before you eat your food,
Then germs and dirt wont find a way, to git inside o'you!

AND

This is all about dingalings, uh huh, here comes one now

Dingalings do stupid things, they don't think of others at all
They're dopes and bullies, see the trouble they bring?
That's what we call dingalings

*circus music interlude*
You know, dingalings usually hurt other kids on the waaay round
That's what we call dingalings
*more circus music*
Because they don't consider anyone else's safety, or even their own

The truth is, that most of us have a little dingaling inside of us
Because we're so caught up doing something that we don't think
And safety simply means thinking before you do something dopey,
Like this!

Safety on the road, or in the park, or where you play
Please don't be a dingaling and get too carried away
Just think! *ding* Right!

I have no idea what it was for - some mechanic service - I think !

but the quote was...

"It's in the glovebox"

[Footy Chick]

The Gruen Transfer played an ad a few weeks back in their quest to find the Worst Ad On TV. This was nominated - days after I had been wondering what became of it. The girl in red bears a striking resemblence to Sophie from Neighbours (its years old, though)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogZ3dyW8Gro

That's hilariously bad

It reminds me of another one of those Christian Television Association ads but this one had puppets and it was all about being a good samaritan. So this puppet had been mugged and was lying on the side of the road and he yells

"Help! I've been mortally wounded!" It was such bad acting it cracked me up but still finding myself quoting it whenever I get a paper cut or something

I think i can vaguely remember that ad

Reminds of the "do you need a hand...be the first to say do you need a hand" ads, which I think may have also been from the Christian Television Association.

If you can point me in the direction of a Youtube clip of that ad, I'd love to see it. Cannot find it ANYWHERE.
