Archive of Estonian Adverts

Serendipity allows me to tie together a couple of threads today. In previous posts, I’ve referred separately to Estonian kitchen sink drama and Penguin biscuits. The wonderful Boing Boing points me towards an archive of television adverts produced for State TV in Estonia during the 1980s by Harry Egipt. He wrote, directed and edited these choice items.

Check out the advert for Pinguin (Penguin) ice cream. And you thought the advert for Cadbury’s Flake was blatant? And as for the advert for minced chicken (Kanahakkliha) – I’m sure it was responsible for the nightmare I had last night.
