They just make me feel good and happy an overall positive to them unlike ads in 2020. It's amazing what they can do but I guess I'm trying to find a timeline that flowed by that I never really got to enjoy as a child lolz.

Todd Lynch good on ya Toddy. My daughter was born 93 had her 27th yesterday. She and a lot of her mates love the 80s. Her boyfriend just loves and always plays 80s music. I love it lol 😂 . He recons he was born in the wrong decade lol . But saying that. Being brought up in the 70s/80s Mum & dad brain washed me with 1950s60s movies and music. Which were the Pioneers so we can thank them I guess for the 80s perfecting a unique decade of the best music 🎧..

All the ads seemed to be full of smiles, optimism and catchy jingles back then. I miss that.

I’m having a really big problem in which the world is heading and hence why I adore these old nostalgic ads and other footage from the past.

Marketing was so different back then. Drinks were targeted for young adults by always having them at a beach or out door event in large groups. Food was targeted for families by using a farm setting and etc. Very cliche and simple but I love it

Looking at a simpler time through experienced eyes. wow. Brings back emotions and feelings of the day. Many older people i knew were still young then and now gone.

The makers of those commercials may have been born in 1930 or 1940 -- were educated very differently from young people today -- their teachers and parents may have been born before the First World War. All of the makers of those commercials -- and a large part of the adult wage earning population -- had been brought-up on the popular classics-- including popular classical essays in social commentary. The subject matter of the popular classics is very different from that of todays popular television dramas -- The popular classics develop sophisticated emotions at an early age -- the popular classics offer a refined moral sense -- they are not moralistic. It is for these reasons that the subject matter of common conversation was so much more SINCERE and mature and 'up-beat'.

This was at a time if you watched telly you would expect only three or four ads during an ad break. Fast forward to 2000's and you can get up when the ad break starts, have a shower, get changed and make yourself a cup of tea or coffee, then sit down just in time for the show to start again.

I would give everything to jump inside my monitor, and go back to the time these ads aired, the world back in February 1983 was such a wonderful place. Even hearing all those old voice overs like Mike Grayson and Holger Brockmen when they were much younger is an absolute intense flashback, oh how nice it was to be 14 years old back then. Lots of laughs, good times, lots of adventures, lots of pretty girls and hormones.

Hardly. They are boring insurance ads.

Look at all of the things celebrated in these loveable old commercials: happy family life, beach culture, farms and farming, sports, heterosexual males who aren't made to feel ashamed because they're white, homemakers who are enjoying their families, kind mothers in the kitchen, garden and laundry, people who look clean, with normal hair styles and no tattoos, Australian culture that used to provide inspiration, a sense of having a future and something to look forward to. Yes, even the ads have a sense of joy and hope in them that is now GONE, to be replaced with depression and hopelessness, and a sense that heterosexuality and family life is somehow "embarrassing", in a culture that forces everyday people to embrace ideologies that don't help them to live their best life in a happy, unified society.

Look at these ads, just trying to show how good the product is. This all changed by the time I was watching TV in the late 90's and early 00's. (They changed to wanting to entertain you while vaguely mentioning the product, or they even tried to freak you out just to get attention)

All until the early 90's all of this would be undone and we end a part of the Globalist elite which would cost us our identity and way of life back then....Sigh very sad...
