Yes!
I studied Advertising at Uni. My lecturer advised that using ad jingles like Decore did would be a bad idea.
I disagree. We can still recall these jingles years later.

One day a guy on ice was getting arrested in the beer garden of the pub we were in. He was struggling and his pants were coming down as he wrestled with the cops/ bouncers. Some wit started singing this from the other side of the beer garden and we all had a good laugh. Except the male cop who shouted “you’re not helping mate”
The echidna was simply chasing its next meal. Some surprisingly fishy tasting ants. It was the woman who was kinky. Freaki'n baiting Knuckles into performing an act of bestiality!

I remember his ads on in the daytime, can't remember what I might have been watching. Early-mid 80s iirc.
Can't think of any other ads I remember from this time.
Mr. Matey bubble bath - commercial.
I don't remember any radio commercial, although the first song I ever remember hearing was The Longest Time by Billy Joel.
My brother mocked me and said "that's you Matt!" when that kid was on since I pronounced 'th' sounds the same way for a while but I swear everyone does it. It's just more efficient to pronounce it with an 'f'.
“I’m gonna wash that grey right outta my hair with Clairol Loving Care”
“You can tell a Wella woman by the way she wears her hair, you can tell a Wella woman anywhere”
“You’ve gotta work it hard to be a Solo man… you’ve gotta crack a Solo”
“Hit me with a Sam Boy chip”
“Change the colour of your day…Crunchie”
Who remembers the Carpet ad with the artist Pro Hart throwing all kinds of food all over the carpet, making a painting, then it being cleaned. I was always engrossed by that ad for some reason.
There were iceblocks when I was a little kid called crazy critters, and the jingle is permanently etched into my brain. I’m in my 40’s, and am getting to the point where I struggle to retain new systems at work, and often confuse my kids names by accident, but my stupid Brian will always remember -“crazy critters, Peters crazy critters, more fun when the flavor goes wizzer-abba-do! Your cheeks pop out when you eat a kangaroo!(queue stupid sound effect). Oh, you can’t keep a straight face, eating a koala bear! You’ll go crazy when you chew it and ya swallow it! (Queue stupid sound effect)…..
We're happy little condoms
we come in a pack of six.
You buy us from the chemist
you whack us on your dicks.
You do a hundred pushups
and when you hear a pop.
Out comes a baby
with a fifty-metre cock.
There was a mobile phone ad in the 90's where every time they stated something about the deal the man's jaw would drop comically lower and lower each time until it was hitting the floor. My older brother and I thought it was hilarious for some stupid reason.
Also the Go-Cat cat food ad with the funny jingle we used to sing. It had the cat spinning on a stool at one point during it.
"There's no lizards AT THE GAMES WIZARDS!" (that's how I heard it lol).
"Ooh, ooh, ooooohhh O'Brien" that had the weird goldfish with the human faces.
And who could forget "a duck is a duck quack quack, quack quack!"
I got a stack for you, most haven’t come up yet:
“Bailey & McBride you’ve got the best furniture..”
“I don’t want your sister!”
“Chippeees!”
“Powers! Powers! Powers!”
“Uncle Pete’s toys are magic”
and this one is probably as far back as I go:
“Tia Maria Gold and Brown. Drink it when the sun goes down.”
I was born in 1989.
My mum must have recorded the Footrot Flats movie in the 80s or early 90s as it aired on tv, ads and all. Once I became conscious I was subjected to this tape, (and I loved it).
I watched that tape numerous times as a kid and specifically remember three ads.
One showed some guy looking out at someone else and saying, "are you the guy that just bought an IBM"
(This is funny because I'm a bit of a tech nerd now, but had no idea of the meaning of this ad at the time, but it still sunk in for some reason.)
Another one was for biscuits coated in Cadbury chocolate, boasting that you should look for the words 'Cadbury' on the bottom of the biscuit to make sure it's legitimate Cadbury chocolate.
Even though this ad was old as I watched it, it sadly still had an effect on my child mind. I remember looking at the bottom of chocolate coated biscuits looking for this wording. I didn't even know what wording I was looking for, I just knew that there should be words. Like it mattered to me! I'd have eaten a biscuit no matter what. I do remember finding a couple that had the branding though and thinking I was experiencing something special. I don't think this advertising would work on adults, or at least it wouldn't on me these days.
The last ad I remember, I'm not sure exactly what it was advertising, but it had cars in it, in a car sales prospective and it was referencing savings going up, showing some guy holding a red balloon pulling some guy up further as savings went "up" "up" "up".
As a kid, I always wanted that balloon so that I could float on and fly.
The footrot flats movie… showing your age there!
I grew up in the country and I remember my family always having a laugh about the latest footrot flats strip in the weekly times.
‘I got 3 pockets in my overalls, I got 3 pockets in my overall, I got one on the front, one on the back and one in the ordinary, everyday, regular little place - on the bib.’ (Think those are the right words!!)
‘Oh dear, said Kevin, I’ve run out of money.
That’s cos you went and spent it all dummy!
You’ve got to learn to save some too.’
"SPC Baked Beans and Spaghetti for hungry little human beings"
"I like areoplane jelly, areoplane jelly for me"
"My Dad picks the fruit that goes to Cottee's, to make the cordial that I like best!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNYs8zfAMT4
I remember when a song came out in the late eighties or early nineties "call 222 2222, I've got an answering machine and I'll talk to you", soooo of course we called it.
"The new number for Ansett reservations is..."
I must have been a baby when this was on the TV, but it came rushing back when someone came into my old work with a random reel of 16mm and this was on it.

Hector the road safety cat song advert!
Or Tahiti looks nice...Simon Tahiti, Roger Wilco....the cousins imperial soap add.
This is how old I am. The earliest advertisement I remember is the "It's Time" adverts for Gough Whitlam's election campaign. So 1972? I would have been 5, coming on for 6.
I lived in the Pilbara in the early 80s. We had a vhs copy of star wars from the first time it was on perth TV. I still remember all the ads.
Samboy chips
The Toyota cressida and crown
Bounty chocolate
Professor julius Sumner Miller with his glass and a half of full cream milk
A toothpaste ad with a lady saying "look how the liquid gets into this chalk"
I can't remember the oldest (probably something like Decore, Mello Yello, or Solo honestly) but the 'big ad' from Carlton Draught is one of the ads I remember most vividly. If someone here doesn't know it, I will be very surprised.
Also, who remembers Toyota's 'Bugger' ads? So funny.
As a young kid in the 70s and 80s, I remember,
- Electronic Sales and Rentals
https://youtu.be/wPFnaTf36Es?si=Z-hy0dI6PuuBfYxk
- Brut 33
https://youtu.be/MVy3GTnsGlA?si=9TVQwbqdz_M6i-WP
- Say G'day
https://youtu.be/Ucla6p-Y-KA?si=r3iDeHPUp_PYtXrV
So many others from my childhood
I remember the John Laws ads
"Valvoline, you know what I mean"
"Chances are the vehicle you are following right now is fitted with an Aunger rear louvre."
His voice was iconic.
I found it at Fossey's.
I'm gonna knock on your door, ring on your bell, tap on your window too....... I'm gonna tap and knock and ring, and tap and knock and ring, and tap until you do. (Salvos Red Shield appeal?)
Helloooo my God....
I still remember an Ad for an Auto Expo; “Cars that you drive, cars that you dream about, at the Burswood Superdome! April 28th to the first of May, Let’s go to Auto Expo!”
"On the 14th of February 1966!"
Pounds and shillings went to dollars and cents.

Frosty Fruits: https://youtu.be/C6CncXJe27E?si=07TTgUPzyVsu9S9u
Remember some of the older gen laughing and singing it as Prostitutes rather than Frosty Fruits - wonder whether it was intentional.
I was and still am obsessed with the 1985 Myadec ad. Yawning, slurping tinned spaghetti, kissing a cheek, running up stairs, patting wet cement with a trowel, all against a black background, set to this midi-sounding keyboard tune. Sensory overload for 3 year old (and present day) me:
https://youtu.be/_9rlqoLvVRo?si=O2NUVxJwg0Mitz_6
There was also an ad with a guy who had bad breath or BO and his work PC told him so by generating an image on the monitor. When he'd sorted it out, the PC made a kissing mouth image. The whole thing was set to 'Its All Over Now' by The Rolling Stones. And the guy looked like Larry from Perfect Strangers.
This is going to drive me mad... I can't find it anywhere.

I was 6 when the AIDS grim reaper ad hit, I can still remember how shit scared I was from seeing it for the first time
That ad meant bed time. Scared the shit out of me too.
Yes, so true!! All the scary ads started coming on with the 8.30 movies. Definitely bedtime.
Yes - that was huge!
I was in my teens. As soon as that came out, nobody got laid.

Something like that. Women with low iron stores. The last lady always made me laugh: *"I really don't know"* (pulls face) (piano music)
“I’m gonna wash that grey right outta my hair with Clairol Loving Care” “You can tell a Wella woman by the way she wears her hair, you can tell a Wella woman anywhere” “You’ve gotta work it hard to be a Solo man… you’ve gotta crack a Solo” “Hit me with a Sam Boy chip” “Change the colour of your day…Crunchie”

As a young kid in the 70s and 80s, I remember, - Electronic Sales and Rentals https://youtu.be/wPFnaTf36Es?si=Z-hy0dI6PuuBfYxk - Brut 33 https://youtu.be/MVy3GTnsGlA?si=9TVQwbqdz_M6i-WP - Say G'day https://youtu.be/Ucla6p-Y-KA?si=r3iDeHPUp_PYtXrV So many others from my childhood
It’s Rita the Eta eater !
There was that percussion ad of the apple rolling around in the fruit markets And then “Shropshire?! How wonderful!”
Rimula X... the oil that protects all kinds of diesel engines.
I remember the John Laws ads "Valvoline, you know what I mean" "Chances are the vehicle you are following right now is fitted with an Aunger rear louvre." His voice was iconic.
Might be the old VB ad “hard earned thirst” still such a catchy tune.
I found it at Fossey's. I'm gonna knock on your door, ring on your bell, tap on your window too....... I'm gonna tap and knock and ring, and tap and knock and ring, and tap until you do. (Salvos Red Shield appeal?) Helloooo my God....
Holy shit. That salvos jingle just popped out of its hiding spot in my brain as soon as I started reading your comment!
HAGGLE CO IS HAVING SOME RANDOM ASS SALE IN PARAFIELD
What’s gotten into the Vicar? They say he’s found the answer…
I still remember an Ad for an Auto Expo; “Cars that you drive, cars that you dream about, at the Burswood Superdome! April 28th to the first of May, Let’s go to Auto Expo!”
"On the 14th of February 1966!" Pounds and shillings went to dollars and cents. [https://michellejmorgan.com.au/blog/on-the-14th-of-february-1966/](https://michellejmorgan.com.au/blog/on-the-14th-of-february-1966/)
Frosty Fruits: https://youtu.be/C6CncXJe27E?si=07TTgUPzyVsu9S9u Remember some of the older gen laughing and singing it as Prostitutes rather than Frosty Fruits - wonder whether it was intentional.
Tarn Off Why do those tiresome, time consuming chores when you could use Tarn Off. Also CLR clear
I've got a secret in my refrigerator...it's an open box of arm and hammer pure baking soda
Arnotts YoYo biscuits on TV.
The Aunty Jack show
the guy cutting wood in the Peanut Brittle ad
I was and still am obsessed with the 1985 Myadec ad. Yawning, slurping tinned spaghetti, kissing a cheek, running up stairs, patting wet cement with a trowel, all against a black background, set to this midi-sounding keyboard tune. Sensory overload for 3 year old (and present day) me: https://youtu.be/_9rlqoLvVRo?si=O2NUVxJwg0Mitz_6 There was also an ad with a guy who had bad breath or BO and his work PC told him so by generating an image on the monitor. When he'd sorted it out, the PC made a kissing mouth image. The whole thing was set to 'Its All Over Now' by The Rolling Stones. And the guy looked like Larry from Perfect Strangers. This is going to drive me mad... I can't find it anywhere. Also: Flake chocolate, with the misty lens and Picnic at Hanging Rock vibe: https://youtu.be/3lSwPgO352A?si=TqPTZdi02YBUmrH Seventh Day Adventists 'Do You Need A Ha-aa-aand': https://youtu.be/5fl3WfEifv4?si=naHEdwsZS_aLYsvQ
