****ing Frosties advert

[The Pious Pawn]

That kid needs fireing into space .

 

[geminisnake]

I haven't seen this ad!

[/smug]

Thankfully I too can be smug, I think I may have seen a few seconds peripherally but I'm not sure. There was certainly no volume. Often the best way to watch TV

 

[rennie]

I no longer have a telly at home. I can't say i'll be missing adverts.

 

[Belushi]

I cant decide which I hate more this or the bloody Veet 'Wax Virgins' ads

 

[Termite Man]

Whoever bumped this thread needs torturing

 

[Termite Man]

some people need to be shot

and some people are just plain weird

and this ones just brilliant



but not as brilliant as this

 

[Sweaty Betty]

I heard he has hung himself as well, but it is still on.....

I heard he has hung himself as well, but it is still on.....

this is what kellogs had to say on the subject

The current advertisement has been well received by the vast majority of our customers. We would also like to take this opportunity to confirm that the lead boy within the advertisement is well and continues to live in his native South Africa.

all advertsiment can be nutralised by turning the sound off when it comes on ...

the society for errdication of televsion advise a desensatiseation process of watching at least 1 hour of tv a day with the sound off.... try it with the ad's and see what happens...

I heard he has hung himself as well, but it is still on.....

It was in my daughters friends magazine so it must be true

 

[Lost Zoot]

Lol. "Over dosed on frosties"

 

[Maggot]

Does anyone else remember when Tony the Tiger was a bumbling fool, not the sleek, cool hero he is today?

I much preferred him then.

 

[subversplat]

Nuff said

Seig heil, Tony. Seig heil

I can see how it might appeal to 8 year old boys

And 28-year-old stoner boys?

And those who love to be annoyed?

I haven seen any ads for weeks. But:

society for eradication of television advise a desensitisation process of watching at least 1 hour of tv a day with the sound off...

Adverts with subtitles used to be particularly good at self-demystification

The two things about this advert that really annoy me...

1. The over aunnunciation (per-son-al-ised, pi-rate etc)

2. The bit at the end where he levitates over everyone else and he does what can only be described as 'rapper-arms'

So, so irritating.

 

[red rose]

Oh and when I last saw this advert and said to my brother "I want to rip that kids arms of and beat him to death with them" he replied with "that kid committed suicide cos he was bullied so much after making the advert" which is quite frankly a load of crap - if it were true frosties would pull the advert.

Anyway I checked out Snopes and apparently there are rumours that he was beaten to death, he committed suicide and also that he died from a rare form of cancer. None of them are true, the kid is deffinately alive.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

thats not rapper arms

he is in fact a grand master of the "seven cerial eating gods" school of fighting. a master of "the song of the sugar coated tiger". and that movment is the begining of the devestating sucsession technique

his only real enamy is the master of "the dance of the chocolate coverd monkey"

 

[red rose]

Shite, I just spat Strongbow over my mom's computer keyboard laughing

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

do not laugh at the seven cereal eating gods

they have a fighter who can SNAP bones CRACK joints and POP eyeballs with a single punch

 

[red rose]

Ok in my mind right now is a psychotic dictator made of shredded wheat riding around in tanks made of weetabix whilst a napalm of bran flakes reigns down upon the landscape

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

we need the ultimate fighting force
