KitKat + Shake & Vac (feat. Captain Alberto Bertorelli & Jenny Logan)

Classic Ads From Simpler Times

This week the pod takes a slightly different format to the usual assault on your credulity. All will become clear as you do the listening thing.

In the year that Bonn Scott drank himself to death, Kleenex went to a remote Scottish island to make a TV advert with an adult grizzly bear as the talent. The bear escaped. Of course it did, 1984 was that kind of year.

Join as we have a chat about a KitKat ad that features Captain Alberto Bertorelli, a Connect 4 ad of unknown provenance and the ad voted the UK’s 18th favourite in a poll that Tony mocks every time it’s mentioned.

Oh, there's a quiz as well. And Tony sings. Basically more of the usual bollox.

Join us as we let you gaze in horror at the advertising that’s stuck with us like holy on the Pope. One features a spiv-like character about to rip-off a load of kids who’re desperate to get into the music industry and the other stars a chainsmoking housewife with a really smelly dog whose idea of fun is to drop a pinger and do the vacuuming.
