There have been scads of Brisbane businesses with ads for TV. However, certain television advertising for smaller businesses can be so weird that it sticks with you for decades afterwards.
Perhaps you can’t stop singing an old Brisbane TV commercial with a terrible jingle.
List your favourites below. YouTube links are definitely OK, however will be checked before publishing.

I loved the Big Rooster TV commercials from the 80s… Shot in Brisbane (my Dad made them, Ive sat on many fences at The Gap eating chicken -never needed to act happy)… The theme song still gets in my head. I’ve also noticed quite a few tv commercials (eg energex) which feauture the coloured terrace houses on Upper Cairns Tce, Paddington… And of course I think “Kick it to Me!” whenever I walk through New Farm park :)
Old John Zupps’ ads when John was the star
What about a real oldie – “Bryl-Cream a little dab’ll do ya”. How many people even know what product that was advertising?
I can remember my dad using “Bryl-cream” for many, many years…. advertisement was for men’s hair grooming cream….. I remember it being in a red and white tub…
Big Rooster was the best! The food not the ad.
I was in an ad on the telly in the mid 70′s for Finn Blinds. I wish I could find it. It was done through Fortune Advertising at Milton.
