@SeaFury Top notch. Thank you.
Oct 28, 2026, 10:34 AM@futzle No jingle, but this was a local cut price supermarket in SE Qld.

@otte_homan @david Hilarious but disqualified because I think this ad was national.

Noel Barrot :godot:noelbarrot_3d@mastodon.gamedev.placeOct 28, 2026, 10:37 AM@futzle WA Salvage was a classic. The catchy phrase was always"We're not fancy but we're cheap eh" was always at the end https://youtu.be/3ekXRl-bTfE

@noelbarrot_3d you'll like this one from the Fisher doona and pillows factory in Au near Waedenswil in Switzerland ... in original Swiss dialect https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R49QKFwA4KM

@LapTop006 We were all thinking it. But somewhere one of my followers has not yet experienced Franco Cozzo (RIP), our beloved Mediterranean furniture vendor from Footiscray.

Oct 28, 2026, 11:14 AM@futzle dammit, the everlast automotive ad I can vividly recall is not online apparently.
I'm gonna have to go through old VCR footage to see if I have it recorded- Oct 28, 2026, 11:20 AM
@futzle it starts with a bloke in an XF falcon juggling the steering wheel out of the window,
"got a little problem that's getting out of hand?" drawls the narrator as the shot pans out to show the falcon is on the trayback of a tow truck. "with their team of friendly experts, (shots of chrome electroplating bumpers) Everlast automotive turns problems back into cars", shop person hands keys (and steering wheel) back to the XF owner.
