Remember years ago the advert on tv for 'Breakaway' biscuity type things?

remember the ad where there was a little scouse kid, and he used to say ' this breakaway belongs to 'X' ,i'm unwrapping it for him'

 

Who was X, i cant remember the damn name and its wrecking my head. Well maybe the magners is wrecking my head too, but this isnt helping. C'mon someone must remember!!!

Apparently the geezer in that ad was Elvis costello's dad!!!

Get out of it!

 

'Ang on...thinking about it...I can see the family resemblance... :rofl:

:rofl: Uh oh, sounds like he might just be finding his stride.

If you liiiiike a looot of choc'late on your biscuit...........

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

 

"R. Whites Lemonaaaade...I'm a secret lemonade drinker"

 

Best. Ad. Ever.

 

I'll be quiet now.

 

:D

 

I dunno, I quite liked the Blackcurrant Tango advert with the boxing ring and the harriers over the white cliffs of Dover: "Come on Sebastian!" I only actually ever saw it once on TV and then eventually found it on t'internet last year. I imagine it was banned almost immediately for excessive jingoism or somesuch nonsense.

Back to Breakaway: are you sure you're right about the whole X thing? I managed to find this:

which mentions an awful lot of ads from the last 50 years, but it doesn't mention anything about that in the "Breakaway" section (about half way down).

"for hands that do dishes are as soft as your face,with mild green fairy liqued" bet that nice little mummys girl grew up to be a porn star :rofl: :rofl:

http://www.tv-ark.org.uk/ and go to adverts...sadly no "Breakaway" though :(

Oh blow it, I just can't hold it in any longer:

 

"OranjeBOOM, OranjeBOOM, it's a lager, not a tune/OranjeBOOM, the order of the day/OranjeBOOM, OranjeBOOM, it's a lager, not a tune/So get your lips around a pint today"

 

(Sorry)

Y'know I think they still show that advert occassionally: I saw it a couple of years ago at my parents house one time when I was visiting. I thought at the time it was a bit odd because I remembered seeing it as a kid myself. Turns out it's been around since 1988. Longest lived TV ad ever?

Altogether now..."A finger of fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat, a finger of fudge is just enough until it's time to eat....."

 

Still faintly disturbing and somehow very wrong.

 

:wack:

That's because it has another set of words LOL

 

BTW loving this NRZ thread dribble it's crazy :dance: :dance: :dance:
