Classic Colgate toothpaste ad

A marvellous Colgate toothpaste ad from the early 1980′s based on ‘Baggy Trousers’ by Madness.

And here’s a version for the US market with some of the same kids. But with every trace of Britishness and most of the Madness imagery removed it doesn’t quite ‘get it’ and ends up looking like a dog’s dinner.

  1. The commercials are very cute. It’s a far cry though from the ones we have now. Toothpaste ads now doesn’t feature children that much.
