70's Tooheys ad: Mike Whitney vs Joel Garner
Some more YouTube goodness. I was reading a magazine article about Joel Garner and I started reminiscing about a 70's Tooheys TV ad I loved as a child where Mike Whitney went out to face Joel Garner (hmm, beer ads appealing to pre-teenagers - and I thought McDonalds ads were evil). The thing was, the way I remember it, the ad was longer than a single delivery - I seem to remember Whitney having to face a full West Indies onslaught. Is this just my faulty childhood memory? Does anyone else remember the ad different to this version? I also don't recall Mike Whitney's hair being quite so huge. I'm now starting to see why big hair was so popular back in the 70's - it was strictly a practical decision of self-preservation. Once helmets became commonplace, hairstyles settled down to normal proportions.
