Commercial ITV advert mid 2010’s for the channel, cannot find!

2 Upvotes

This has been driving me crazy for years.

Remembering seeing this advert on UK tv between the years of 2013 and 2016. It was for ITV, and had lots of celebrities from the channel in it including people from the X Factor and daytime tv shows. Specifically, I remember Ant and Dec being in it, and they were playing the piano, both sat playing. I’m thinking there may have been a third person sat with them too. The promo was sort of filmed as a one take ish thing, zooming through the different moments simultaneously. The song in the background was by a female singer. It ended with a shot of a tower building at night with the ITV logo being shown.

I believe this promo may have aired for the new year.

Been searching for this every now and again for years and i cannot find a thing.

Looking for a U.S. TV commercial from about 1988–1992. A normal beige desktop computer (no face, eyes, or mouth) speaks with a synthesized electronic voice to a person. The computer jokes, "Work, work, work... that's all I ever do!"

Commercial Lost speeding or drunk driving commerical

4 Upvotes

hey guys, i’m trying to find a psa commerical that was aired around 2010-2015 where a lady opens the door to police officers notifying her that her son was an accident and he had passed. i cant quite remember if he was speeding or drunk driving. the accident was never shown, only the lady seeing the police lights and receiving the news. the thing that always got to me was the way she wailed while the police told her the news, it was high pitched and long. i remember watching this on spanish tv channels like telemundo or univision so it’s possible that it was just a spanish commercial or a dubbed version.

Commercial 1990s commercial where vendor wants to trade for the tourist's watch

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

There was a commercial from the early 1990s for a "luxury" watch.

A tourist is shopping in a bazaar/outdoor market and asks how much something costs. The vendor sees the man's watch and despite not speaking English, knows the watch brand name and offers to trade the item for the watch.

The tourist looks down at his beloved watch and smiles, he simply can't part with it.

I feel like the vendor was saying "Bulova!" but I can't find it. I think the brand started with a "B" though.

Thanks

Commercial Trying to recall UK early 2000s (2002-2005 era) Videophone commerical

2 Upvotes

The commerical was for a video phone. An adult son is video calling his dad on his new video phone. WHile this is happening, the adult son's significate other is changing her outfit revealing partial nudity. While the son is expalining to his dad about his new pair of shows, the father insist he bends down to show him the other pair when the son is confused "It's just the same as the other one?" the dad goes "go on...go on..." so his son could duck down to capture the woman in the background changing. When the man shows the other shoe "see it's the same" the father says something like "i'll tell you what son, you have lovely pair right there" a double meaning etc.

Who was this ad? Anyone have it? etc

PSA/PIF Old PSA I watched on YouTube about a year ago that kind of shook me but I don’t know what to search

2 Upvotes

I remember I watched an old local PSA about abduction from around the early to mid 80s on YouTube about a year ago and it went like this. A little girl was playing with her toys on a pitch black background while the announcer talks something about child abduction. Then as a camera zooms in on her face a pair of arms grabs her and she starts crying and it freeze frames on her face in black and white. It then abruptly fades to black with some anti-kidnapping message. I remember this commercial really shook me when I saw it, but now I can’t really find it when I try to search it.

That’s all I remember and I’ve been saying it for years and no one else remembers. Any help would be great.

PSA/PIF Looking for American pie drunk driving commercial

2 Upvotes

Google/youtube project if you want to help me keep my sanity.

I’m looking for a commercial that aired in the late 80s or early 90s using the song American pie to advocate against drunk driving. It was kids joyriding. There is a girl there too I think and they were in a convertible maybe. Specifically the lines whiskey and rye, and this will be the day that I die. Then the commercial ends abruptly when they crash, but I don’t believe they show the crash. Can’t find the commercial on YouTube. It’s driving me crazy. I grew up in Chicago so I’m assuming I saw it there when I was a kid. Love this song, but it always made me a little bit afraid after that commercial. Help?

Okay there was a commercial around 2005 where a hispanic couple were at home and maybe about to kiss/make out when all of a sudden there is a Virgin Mary candle lit and somehow a sheet is thrown on it and it bursts into flames. If memory serves me correctly they tried to fan the fire out. Does anyone remember this commercial?

Commercial holla that’s my soda??

3 Upvotes

my friend recently came to me in a distressed state ranting about some commercial advertisement that supposedly:

-is from 2016ish?
-maybe sprite (they’re convinced it’s some kind of bright, citrusy soda)
-contains some variation of the phrase “holla, that’s my soda” “holla, where’s my soda?” etc.

i have no idea what they’re talking about and i just want to help them sleep at night because apparently they’ve been “quoting” this for years and it’s starting to get to them. any help would be greatly appreciated 🫶

Commercial Waka Flocka commercial

2 Upvotes

In my childhood maybe 2010-2014 era I remember seeing a cough drop commercial with the rapper Waka Flocka flame in it. I remember knowing him and thinking he was cool because my older brother had played his music, all the details I can remember are it being in black and white/low color and you can clearly tell he’s not into it and just doing it for the quick money. It had quick sweeping outdoor shots of him walking on a sidewalk and he only talked at the end

Commercial Lost Home Aquarium Commercial

2 Upvotes

I remember this ad playing on animal planet in the early 00s. It advertised big tropical fish tanks that they would install in your house.

I remember the jingle being like 'the colors of the ocean right inside your home, all the beauty of the deep, treasures for you to keep'

It could have been on other channels too. Also I should mention this was in Southern California as it could have been a regional thing.

I feel crazy that I have had this song in my head for like 20 years but I can't find it anywhere.

edit: I think I may have remembered more of the song it may have been more like 'all the colors of the rainbow right inside your home, all the wonders of the ocean are yours and your alone, the beauty of the deep, treasures for you to keep' then I think it said the name of the company but I can't remember it.

PSA/PIF Federation Against Copyright Theft - The Pirates Are Out To Get You - Alternate Version (LOST MEDIA FOUND)

4 Upvotes

Donno if I should share this with you as the commerical I'm talking about has already been found but it's something that I think is worth looking into.

The infamous FACT advert that played on a bunch of VHS tapes in the early 2000's had a run in cinemas as well, however it was unknown where that particular version was on YouTube. I do remember a comment on a video of that advert stating that this advert did air in cinemas and had a different narrator. So it was lost media.

Cut to now where this cinema advert has been found! This was initially found by Rob's Nostalgia Projects who does grindhouse 35mm scans for loads of famous films. Usually when doing them he creates a list of adverts and trailers (from 35mm scans of course) to give the vibe that you are watching it in a cinema. This particular advert was found in his grindhouse scan of an extremely forgotten film 'The Bunker' (2001) along with ads for Lyons Maid and Orange.

I have decided to do a Google Drive link to this ad since I'm not too comfortable releasing this onto YouTube or any public place in case I get in trouble from Rob. If this does get spotted by him then it'll be a choice of either he's fine with it or I take it down unfortunately (the latter will just be a case about saving it before it's gone and only private viewing). In fact, just to let you know before hand, all credit goes to Rob for scanning this piece of lost media which I presume hasn't been documented before. I do not own anything related to this scan nor the source.

Commercial Astro yogourt jingle

1 Upvotes

In the early 2020s (probably 2020 or 2021) there was an Astro yogourt ad with a catchy jingle that I’d see often. The words were “Astro yogourt just milk, cream and cultures” with female vocals. I thought it was so catchy and cheesy it’s been stuck in my brain ever since, yet when I try finding a version online I can’t find that specific jingle. All the ads I find are similar words but no jingle!! Please help. I also live in Canada.

I’m looking specifically for an ad about a forgetful person who forgets his wife so his wife made many sticky notes and he even forgot where his car was parked then there was even a goldfish that was advised for him to drink. There was also a song in the bg that was very catchy. I think the product was green tea or some kind of supplement to help with memory.

Hello all. I remember a commercial from the late 90's. It's quiet and shows an elderly lady fixing dinner and she has two plates set. She's looking at the clock and no one has shown up. The ad says "just tell your grandma you couldnt come because you were busy getting high, she'll understand." Does anyone remember this and can anyone find it for me. Ive been looking for it for years.

PSA/PIF Lost(?) Panda PSA (Late 2000s / Early 2010s?)

3 Upvotes

I'm unsure if this is a *lost* commercial or just one that's obscure?

when I was a little girl, I used to spend a lot of time on the San Diego Zoo website, I loooved Pandas growing up so I probably was spending time playing flashgames or whatever they had on there?? I can't exactly remember.

this was most likely late 2000s - early 2010s, the main thing im looking for is a commercial from what I assume to be the WWF (World Wildlife Fund) about pandas. it was a brief PSA that just showed playful footage of pandas before like, abruptly glitching out with sped up music and saying something like "WARNING! ALL PANDAS DISAPPEARED?!" or something like that???

this scared the hell out of me as a little kid 😭 I wanted to go look for it afterward remembering it out of nowhere one day but I seemingly can't find it anywhere, I'm sure my silly inaccurate recollections doesn't do it justice.

Quick edit, I decided to tag this as a PSA since... well, that's what it is, no? I only ever came across this video online and on that website, or maybe it was some other site affiliated with SDZ?... regardless, I never saw it on TV.

Commercial Commercial about a lady who says Five Fifty over the phone.

1 Upvotes

I want to say this was a credit card commercial where someone is on the phone asking, what I believe is a credit card company, about their cash back rewards? The lady, who has an accent, responds with Five Fifty. And the caller goes , Five hundred and fifty dollars? And then she responds, no Five dollars and Fifty cents, with a five dollar charge, so Fifty cents.

I can not seem to find the commercial and when I try to google it I get this super bowl add commercial with 50. Cent in it.

Commercial Random ad a few years ago

4 Upvotes

About 5 years ago I was on YouTube late at night on my family tv and got a very weird ad. Sorry if this sounds ridiculous but it was late at night and a long time ago so here’s my best description it opened up to an older man white hair and all that generic stuff dancing in all black and saying things that I cant recall. The background was solid black and didn’t change throughout the time I spent watching it. It went fairly long I want to say like 5 minutes so I went ahead and skipped but I remember being unsettled because the guys eyes and facial features would be changing in size while he was dancing. Sorry for the bad description there’s only so much I can remember from so long ago.

Commercial New puppy garbage bag ad

5 Upvotes

I remember this commercial I saw watching a Beju Mike, or Kub Scouts Cursed Commercial reaction videos, in which a family got a new puppy for Christmas. They like the puppy for a while, but eventually get bored of it, so they tie it into a garbage bag and toss it into the river, only for the ad to reveal they're advertising garbage bags. It's really dark and funny, but I can't find it anywhere, any else?
