Hey, I wrote that ad! Thanks ;-)

The new Jus-Rol pastry ad

"Just add cheese and a sliced tomato and bake for a .... cheese and tomato baked thingy"

Shameless exploitation of people's fear of unemployment

I have another one on TV at the moment but I'm not going to say what it is for fear that people think it's even more annoying than my Parozone ones...

Forgot to say respect to you for the Citroen one, it's cool!

[annaj]

Oh go on James. We'll be kind, honest.

There's a terrible radio ad at the moment for Sure Quantum a new deodorant for men. They're selling it as "future ready protection" and claim to have done "competitive dryness testing" (what now?) at the highest temperature ever recorded on Earth (58 degree apparently). The thing is, if the worst global warming predictions come true and the world's temperature does shoot up, I can't help thinking damp armpits are not going to be our major concern. Just me?

Shreddies and the grannys... whats that all about? Seriously what does a bowl of cereal have to do with knitting? Or indeed knitting have to do with cereals?

Bring back the "keeps hunger locked up 'til lunch" one!

you lot watch too much TV

[James]

My favourite ad ever is the 80s Um Bongo one. Classic!

[Keef]

Um Nongo umbongo, they drink it in the congo... >:D

[jumpinjackflash]

Way down deep in the middle of the Congo,

A hippo took an apricot, a guava and a mango.

He stuck it with the others, and he danced a dainty tango.

The rhino said, "I know, we'll call it Um Bongo"

er, yeah I loved that one too!!

That and Ki Ora:

Kia-Ora...

It's too orangey for crows...It's just for me and my dog

I'll be your dog - woof woof woof woof woof woof

I'll be your dog - Kia-Ora a doggy doggy doggy doggy

Kia-Ora... Arumba

We all adore a Kia-Ora"

*sighs*

happy days!

[Ant]

*wipes tear from eye*

Ah, hearing that it's like I'm a child again!

[edit: OK, reading that. But I heard it clearly in my head as I read the post, so...]

[Keef]

The Kia-Ora one was great!

[James]

"Our son Pat

Is a bit nifty with a bat

Can run in a circle

As fast as a cat"

What was this all about?

Featuring a young Joe Absolom as I recall, for Sun Pat peanut butter.

[jumpinjackflash]

when he gets a little peckish he takes of his hat

with 93% peanuts, he likes a bit o this, likes a bit o that

Sun-Pat, Sun-Pat, our son Pat!

oh dear watched far too much telly as a child...

[Keef]

If I remember rightly, Ross Kemp played Pat's dad.

[buggie]

don't know about that, but he did appear in one of the fruit n fibre ad's.... "their tasty, tasty, very very tasty... their very tasty!"

[jumpinjackflash]

If you like a lot of chocolate on yer biscuit join our club! - Jacob's Club Biscuits

(Maybe we should start a jingles thread!)

[Keef]

You're right buggie, here is ross in action.

[Annasfield]

Do you remember the Golden Syrup adverts?

"Stick it on your spoon..." (tu)
