John West - Bear (feat. Bob the Builder)

Classic Ads From Simpler Times

Thanks for joining us again as we continue our mission of making it impossible for you to underestimate us. This week on the pod Tony’s Uber passenger rating raises its ugly head before we segue into me having a generic old man ranting at the clouds session about exotic birds parrots in ride-sharing vehicles.

We meander down memory lane, swerving the white dogshit and that bloke your parents called uncle who spent an inordinate amount of time trying to get you to come and have a look at the train set in his shed… to find out how Tones vandalised his Mum’s car with the cigarette lighter before not being allowed in the monkey enclosure at Dudley Wildlife Park because the family Ford Escort had velour seats.

And if you stick with it you’ll hear as a veteran fisherman gets in touch and leaves us a personal message for inclusion in this episode where we review the John West TV commercial voted as the UK’s funniest telly ad…ever.

Yes, the love child of Worzel Gummidge and Tony’s Dad joins the list of celebs who’re now using the world’s foremost podcast about old ads and paedophile celebrities as a platform to amplify their media profile, after Enya and Wolf Kahler, the original John West now gets on the blower to reveal himself to be a cuddly old chap deeply committed to the use of pilchard juice as an aphrodisiac and hell-bent on raping the ocean of all suitable fish-based protein.

So join shit advertising suit Steve Cooke and award-winning advertising creative and TV commercial director Tony Williams as we take a look at a TV ad featuring a bloke in a bear suit with Bob the Builder as the voiceover talent.

Have a look at the advert on our YouTube channel here https://youtu.be/rj4T-cZKbB8 and also as promised, here's the link to the most Australia video ever...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIRT7lf8byw
