I think its amazing how imprinted our early television life was, infact I'm astonished at how well I remember these ads, Its like they were on yesterday and I remember them all. Kind of creepy to think how hypnotic tv was and I guess is.
In the Supa Valu ad, the girl at the beginning is Natalie McCurry. The girl at the end who says "Our name says it all" is Annette Windus. Both girls were contestants in Miss West Coast and Annette had a bit part in Windrider (low budget movie with Nicole Kidman before she was really anyone, filmed in Perth 1986). I remember Annette in the Miss West Coast 1983 televised final. When she strutted out onto the stage the rowdy crowd suddenly went silent for a second with shock - she looked utterly stunning. Tony Murphy was host and asked her why she had seen the movie Rocky about 11 times. "The muscles" was her reply. I'm amazed I can remember all this stuff.
@@stickers6883 I didn't go to Kent Street and I don't know which schools any of those models went to. However, they are often products of private schools for some reason.
@@thewatcherofawesomecontent Back in 81 I had enough money in the bank ($100K+) enough to pay cash for a house. I kept saving and saving and the house prices stayed down around $120k+ for a brand new three bedder in a new estate. Those same houses today are around $2M and wages have only doubled in the same time period. It's now just a literal Ponzi scheme as ROI is
I actually reckon their quite expensive. Prices are up around 300% today, but wages would be around 400%. It may not feel like it of course, because housing is up around 700% since those days.
I was 16 in 87 and looking at the very first Crunchie ad here it suddenly reminded me of how feminine mid teen girls were in those days. Ribbons in their hair and not a nose ring, sleeve tattoo or purple shaved hairstyle anywhere. No doubt about gender in those days !!

@Some One yes. it waa quite sudden. we expect to eat more... and very differently. it used to be bland, but our bodies were beautiful. we didmt realise it, though. like youth, you dont know you have it. just that you had it... ; ) i hope we all get well, again. too much fat is a symptom, of non ideal health, , not a character flaw.
@Some One oh, poor man. i cannot see that as a character flaw. that is a man stuck in a starving body. when the food has insufficient nutrition, our needs are not met, and we are triggered into eating more food, trying to get what we need. but if we are in a cuture that sells us edible substances in the name of food, we starve. calories are fuel, not nourishment. fat people are fat because they are starving.
1980's might be the most united era Australians have ever lived in, everything just felt right...I mean look at us now 2023 and it's getting worse, mind though it's happening all over the world now.
That Kit Kat ad ... LOL ... I heard that someone working at a local bank put a Kit Kat wrapper in the cash cannister. A customer drew out some cash and got the wrapper. They complained and the guy got laid off.
@@Plethorality Agreed - very uniquely '80's. The seventies had a WHOLE different look in terms of fashion, music, shooting style, film stock/quality, pacing, makeup, hairstyles. To say they look anything at all alike is to be extremely ignorant.
Emu Lager is literally one of the worst beers ever made save Fosters!! I remember at the Army Recruit training centre at Kapooka in 1993 they were selling it for .20c a can (pretty much giving it away) as it was so bad no one would buy it LMAO!! But for a poor Infantry Recruit .20c is a bargain no matter how bad it was lol!! All other normal beers were about $1 -$1.50!! Five beers for $1 is too good to pass up lol!!
Emu was bad, but not the worst. Kalgoorlie had a local brewery - theirs was THE worst. Foul tasting, you had to build up a tolerance for it. Not for the alcohol content, it gave you the trots. But in WA, vast quantities of Emu were consumed - by blokes who didn't know there was anything better.

Rampaging Roy Slavin in the PBS Visa card ad. 👍

If Annette was any relation to Darren Windus, the attractiveness genes must have run in the family. He was a VERY handsome man!
...and I wonder what they look like now.

Jesus the Aussies had big ones. Crunchys over there were massive.

Everything was so gentle.
Those were the days when the most important decision you had to make was which chocolate bar you wanted.

And perhaps back to those wages too ?
@@csbcsb4458 yes, I thought for the wage at the time in comparison to now, it's expensive, we've got more competition today

I love seeing ads from other countries. It's the only time I'm interested in ads.
People looked so much better back then. Very different.
I’ve had that rasa matazz song in my head since I was a kid. Now I know where it came from now.
I grew up in Perth. There were only 3 tv stations and ABC
Only 7,9and 2 when I grew up. No channel 10 even

@@spillintea683 Hey misinformed, boomers are specifically 1945 to 1960.
Back when the world still made sense. And you have to love economic "growth" when you see the prices. I call it inflation.
Yes everything is so much more expensive now. Everything today is 4 to 5 times more expensive.
that had to be Roy Slaven
I was thinking that too
Remember when adds featured attractive slim folk?
Yep. But the feminists had that all banned. And aren't women so much happier now eh?
remember when everyone was skimny?
it was normal. i miss it.

@Some One very true. i am glad you are aware of this : )
33 years from now today’s adds will look strange too
To be fair, they already do...
the size of that crunchie!
Some of these ads I'm going, this can't be 34 years old, I recently saw this.......but nope, I haven't. It's evocative of memory.
That razza matazz stockings add was so hilariously creepy. Those two "businessmen" in the heavy coats looked old enough to be the girl's fathers.
You can sense the unity and pride of being an Australian in these ads.
How far we've fallen.
exactly derek.
Many pretend it still exists.
Yes this was back when Australia was a great country. Australia has gone to shit and Australia today is a shit country.
Its now a colony belonging to china

that crunchie is a share pack for $5 nowadays
lmao the holding the crunchie like he is about to deep throat it
Just watched this and realised that the Supa Valu had just came back a month before 😮
It was still 1981 in Perth going by their local ads.
