I'm sure I remember reading that there were a lot of complaints about this advert that led to it being pulled? Anyway, here it is...

I like it. Makes me laugh.

Maybe it was because of the puling off of trousers and thrusting. And also maybe the prominence of the lady's breasts.

Shoulders?-Stomach!

Don't think I ever saw that ad. I would've remembered those tits in my adolescence. Reminds me of that "Nicky with the ticky" Sure advert with a pre-fame Kelly Brook.

Did anyone see the "commercial for cats" that Whiskas did in about 1999. Apparently it was banned because it drove cats throughout the country crazy. I saw it once when my cat was in the room and she was walking along minding her own business. AS soon the commercial started her head swung round and she ran up to the TV screen and sat and watched the whole thing. Ive searched for it on youtube but no luck. I'd love to see it again!

I hate Yorkies, they taste like shit.I'm an enormous Galaxy bar man, me.By that I mean I'm twenty seven feet tall and like Galaxy bars so much I'd suck the cunt off my own dead Granny for one.

Ugh...all Cadburys and Mars related chocolate is gross. It just burns your mouth with its horrible greasy sweetness.

Aah...I remember that and, after putting my ninja Google skills to the test, I've found you a link:

Here we go again. No it isn't and no it doesn't, it tastes fucking great.

My personal favourite chocolate is Green and Black's Milk chocolate, (and the fantastic Butterscotch version) but that doesn't mean that Cadbury's  and Mars stuff is gross. It's great, man, what's the matter with you?

Shoulders?-Stomach!

QuoteNo it isn't and no it doesn't, it tastes fucking great.

Yes.

Actually Yorkie chocolate always tasted faintly odd. It isn't moreish at all.

Actually Yorkie is pretty gross. Cadbury's stuff and Galaxy are a lot better.

Shoulders?-Stomach!

Quotemilk chocolate is for children

So are refresher bars and Harry Hill's TV Burp.

Quoteplain chocolate is for cunts

That quote is unattributed as I just made it up.

Al Tha Funkee Homosapien

You're both idiots with dodgy palettes then. Okay then it burns MY mouth with it's horrible greasy sweetness. You can stick your Cadbury's Dairy Milk up your fucking arse for all I care.

Shoulders?-Stomach!

That isn't to say I don't like what you'd term 'proper chocolate', I just think they have different and equally valid qualities. A bit like a good deep pan pizza versus an authentic italian thin base one.

You had me up until the pizza comment. Deep pan is an abomination unto God, and there is no such thing as a "good" one. I may not be a chocolate snob (unlike Al the Funkee so called Homosapien), but pizzas have to have thin bases.

(and anyone who has chips with pizza, curry or chinese food is a heathen and doesn't deserve to eat.)

Shoulders?-Stomach!

As long as you seperate the two out in your mind. Deep pan pizza isn't trying to be thin base pizza, it's just being itself, which on the best days is a delicious stodgy mess. All deep pan pizza's aren't those Goodfellas ones where the base is constructed from dust. I've had deep pan pizza in New York that I wouldn't have swapped for anything there and then. Lovely stuff.


niat

Hmmm, I'm not convinced, but next time I'm in New York I'll get some deep pan action going to see if you're right.

Borboski

Well you can't say fairer than that, can you?

Putting chips in your burger, you can't beat that.

Hand tossed pizza is best

Yes, hand tossed is always best. [/smirk]

That's fine, because chips and burger complement each other, and are a natural combination. Chips with pizza, or chips with curry is wholly unnatural and immoral.

(My wife has ketchup with pizza. Yes, ketchup with a foodstuff which features tomato sauce as a basic ingredient. There's no hope for her.)

To go back to the start-point of this thread...haven't heard the sound on that ad, but let's look at the bare bones of it...macho guy with big belching biceps beats bear at arm-wrestling, ties up a ridiculously well-endowed WU-MAN for a while, then subtly "proposes" to her by thrusting his groin into her face.

Starter of this thread? [banned troll], who apparently finds this advert "funny".

[banned troll], who also started a thread about how all macho "lads" and "real men" are inherently crap, and would probably covertly and nervously, behind-the-back take the piss out of a guy anything like this down his local.

An ad which lionises (however tongue-in-cheek) the sort of guy that TC can't abide. Yet he finds it "funny".

Guess that the big tits excuse everything else, eh?

Anyway - back to pizza!

Mr. Analytical

Close friends get to call him TC providing they fail to draw attention to the gaping holes and logical inconsistencies in his worldview.

A good point well-made CT, but there's a fatal flaw in your argument, an oversight you've made:

Well there you are then- how can you possibly judge? You missed the voice-over, which, as the punchline, has the slogan,

"Don't be a filthy disgusting chav pikey monglike bollockaircraftcarrier- eat YORKIE!"


Anyway, yes, back to pizza...

I've been thinking about this a bit recently, you and your diet, and I genuinely do think that you could make quite a nice little earner (if only as a side-line thing) as a junk-food critic. Your passion for it absolutely shines through, whenever you write about it. And it's quite a niche.

TC Raymond

For fuck's sake. I like the ad because it's so comic-book, like the Flash Gordon movie starring Brian "shoutycrackers" Blessed. And the tits, of course.
