We Like Old Adverts
Hello. We’re Joe, Conal and Jim and we like old adverts.
One night Jim and Joe were talking about how brilliant it used to be if you played an old video and it had adverts taped from the TV on it. So they started watching massive YouTube compilations of the things. They never stopped.
It turns out that watching old adverts is brilliant; sometimes funny, sometimes utterly insane and always charmingly nostalgic.
The sad, sad reality is that we’d be doing this anyway so we figured we may as well invite you in.
It’s the closest we’ll ever get to time travel and we invite you to join us as we present some of our favourites.
You may know Jim from The Football Ramble podcast and Joe and Conal from The Book of Nowt podcast.
