I would love Fedizens in other cities and towns in Australia to please share their local TV ads from decades past; things I would never have seen in Melbourne.
@noelbarrot_3d The Gumby handkerchief hat is what makes this.
@futzle @noelbarrot_3d The guy featured in the ads was someone I knew as he was a member of the WA Opera chorus when he started doing those ads, I knew him from singing in things with him... (and yes, the Italian accent was real, but he did not sound like that normally)
@futzle No jingle, but this was a local cut price supermarket in SE Qld.
Jack the Slasher Food Barns Advertisement From May 1984.

@david @futzle more recent but the TOyota Big Bugger Of A Sale thing is good, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMKvXFctoMY
Bugger BANNED Toyota TV commercial Both ads
YouTube
@otte_homan @david Hilarious but disqualified because I think this ad was national.

@SeaFury Top notch. Thank you.
@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
