what was the add that had older men doing boy things eg, dad was beating son at swing ball, dad playing in paddle pool
Nice page! Found it very entertaining.

The boys asked “Grand-dad, do you know Flash Gordon?”, to which he replied “Well son, he used to drive my tractor.”
Hello, I’m after an beer ad from a few years back. It is with a man in his 30s walking through a town and he steps into this wall of darkness from the light of the town. I think he says something about being different and stepping into the unknown, but I can’t quite recall.
