Adverts H-L
Halifax - 1991
An advert for Halifax from 1991, showing a load of pound signs dancing to 'We're in the moeny'... As pound signs do!!! Ah those jolly days before Halifax's ads became such frequent winners in the site's worst ad awards.

Hammerite - 1992
Old Iron! Another one of those adverts with a song you can probably remember(well unless you're like me, as I always forget... wait a second! Where am I?)
Harp (Gangmember) - 1990
Time for a sharp Exit.... A humourous ad featuring an interview with a former gang member, who of course has to keep his identity a secret.
Harp (Dating) - 1990
Time for a cool sharp Harp.... Another laugh, this time involving a find-a-date service.
Heineken - 1990
And now we have a load of Heineken adverts throughout the years. Heineken deserve the award for making consistently funny adverts, for god only knows how many years. This one is from 1990.
Heineken - 1992
How to improve your blues music, courtesy of Heineken.
Heineken (V2) - 1992
The follow on advert to the first 1992 ad.
Heineken - 2001
Heineken did it once again in 2001, and produced some of the funniest adverts of the year! In total there were four of them (I think!), with more 'celebrities' being added in each one. I have the 1st, 2nd and 4th ones. If anyone with a TV Card can capture and email me the 3rd one, which I think finished with a trumpet solo bit, then I'd be extremely grateful!
Heineken (Part 2) - 2001
Two more people were added alongside Paul Daniels and Debbie in the second version.
Heineken (Part 4) - 2001
In the last version, the collection of celebrities is fed to a pack of lions - oh joy!!
Heinz Baked Beans - 1986
An old advert for Heinz Baked Beans with the famous 'Beanz Meanz Heinz' slogan. This slogan disappeared from the Heinz ads during the 90s. Despite that, it has been recently revived for a cynical marketing campaign by Heinz known as 'keep it or can it' asking people to text them on an expensive number saying whether they should keep a slogan they dropped years earlier. Clip Courtesy of Iam Burn.
Hovis - 2004
Irn Bru - 2002
An entertaining/warped (delete as applicable) ad for Irn Bru in 2002, with a woman giving birth. Don't worry, that Irn Bru will help... or will it? Thanks to Iam for this clip.
Jaffa Cakes - 1983
Those Munchkins are always trying to munch your McVities Jaffa Cakes, as we're told in this 1983 ad. Clip courtesy of Iam Burn.
John Smiths - 1997
Jack Dee in a John Smiths ad from 1997, with no gimmicks, no jokes and no penguins. Clip thanks to Iam Burn.
John Smiths - 2004
John West Tuna - 1998
John West endure the worst, namely an annoying guy playing music, to bring you the best!
Kitekat - 1993
Kitekat - 1998
Think 'Men Behaving Badly' for this Kitekat advert from 1998.
Kit Kat - 1986
A humourous ad for KitKat in 1986. The Cold War was coming to an end yet little progress was being made. This ad combines that along with the fact that politicians are generally pointless and stubborn. Courtesy of Iam Burn.
Kit Kat - 1997
Elvis isn't dead. He's hiding away somewhere eating Kitkats! Thanks again to Iam Burn for this ad.
The Lion King - 1995
The Lion King - One of my favourite films of all time (behind Watership Down of course). This is an advert for its release on video.
Liquorice Allsorts - 1990
Bassett's Liquorice Allsorts - One too many and you might turn Bertie!!!
Bassetts Jelly Babies - 2003
Listerine - 1990
Clifford the dragon has a problem with his breath... namely that he cant talk to birds without roasting them with it.
Lloyds Bank - 1993
This is one of several 'Tales of The Black Horse' ads, ran in the early nineties. In this one, a brave knight needs help getting a biger place, so gets a mortgage from Llyods Bank... happens all the time doesnt it!!
