Adverts ADVERTS

Hamlet Cigars advert

This Memory is looking a little short on nostalgia! Have you got anything you could add?

They were the best adverts around. My favourite Hamlet Cigar ad was the 2 naked lovers at the beach running towards each other in slow motion. When they finally got to embrace the woman had her lovers 'hairy chest' stuck to her chest and she squealed in horror. Cue the Hamlet music :)

    On an old VHS tape I have one of the last ones from before they banned (I presume) cigar advertising on TV. A man at a fairground accidentally knocks over a whole line of parked motorbikes (I think he's dizzy after coming off a roundabout) and they go down like dominoes! He sees a gang of menacing bikers coming towards him! Cue Bach.

    what about the football one where the guy goes to take a penalty kick and the ball and it hits one of the other players where it hurts and he has to be stretchered off?

    that advert with Russ Abbott wasn't for hamlet cigars but a similar brand of cigars called Castella, I believe.

    yes the music was indeed J S Bach's "Air on A String". Used to love these adverts. the first one I saw was the one with the balloonist where the guy goes up in a balloon but then hits a tree and the balloon then deflates.

    Gregor Fisher's advert was brilliant- all the more risible because he's a deadringer for Alex Salmond!

    I remember a comedy version of the advert that said, Damlet Cigars, found under benches and hedges.

    The music for the advert is called, Air on the G string, it comes from JS Bach's Suite No3 in D.

    Anyone remember the add where a cool dude wearing shoulder pads gets stuck on the stairs of a double decker bus? They are so wide they squeek.

    Does any one remember one with a sperm trying to fertalise an egg he banges into it lots of times before he gives up falls to the floor and lights a cigar.
