It looks bloody strong though don't it. I mean, how long does he hold that coin there for - half a second? Comes out shinier than the arse on a desk-monkey's sweaty strides. They should make a tablet version that you bung in your cistern for Sunday mornings, for when the Guiness and scratchings repeat on you.
Why can't they make ads like the old Tango ones, the ones that got all the kids double-slapping their mates, they were quality. "We could be in for a Tango taste sensation!" (you need to say it in high-pitched Geordie for the full effect). That's a film just waiting to happen - an unflinching documentary into the underground world of happy-slapping, sponsored by Tango.

i used to love those tango adverts, so violent! if they came on TV these days there'd be a massive morrel panic about slapping in our adverts and how kids are copying it, and everyone would go all moral on it.. instead of having a laugh and tangoing each other HE'S BEEN TANGOED, LETS HAVE AN ACTION REPLAY!! *slow-mo slap, and shocked face*
i wonder what happened to the guy in the orange suit.. i hope he's still out there double slapping people today! good man! i think there should be a documentary on the ups and downs of tango man's life.. yeah

He might've looked like the lovechild of an Oompa-Loompa and Charlotte Church's orange boyfriend, but Mr Tango was actually a legit actooor. How random is that. I know this cos I saw him on one of them Jimmy Carr programmes - "The Hundred Greatest Numbers From 1 To 100" I think it was.
Here's my pitch for a short flick: Barry Scott decides his ads aren't zany enough, and recruits Mr Tango to spice 'em up a bit. Only - and this is the clever bit - Mr T (no relation) has actually gone radio rentals through years of being Tango'd by passers-by, and nights alone getting wired on fizzy drinks. He flips, wipes out Barry Scott with a Cillit Bang enema, then goes on a homicidal rampage through the offices of Norton Finance and Lombard Direct, chopping people up with homemade batarangs (which he got nice and shiney... in just five seconds!)
Hold up, I think that's Warp Films on the blower right now....

Hahahaha this thread is amazing, ok so im gonna get a cam and im up for the comp. but this discussion on bad ads is more interesting at the moment. That cilit bang dude just shouts way too loud, what an assclown. As for the insurance ones there is some knob up a ladder and he starts to lose it an hes like "whooa whoa arrggh" then hes in the bushes holding his back! fucking classic.
Possible titles for the short im gonna submit,
Chavablanca: a sprawling urban epic dealing with love, loss and baseball caps.
Whats worng with John: A docu. about what exactly is wrong with me.
Fred Dimbahs water ways of britian: I had the idea first so i get some goons and go and do him over.
