That reminds me of an old joke and before anyone starts my parents are Irish. Paddy went to visit Murphy in hospital and both his feet were in bandages and he was in a lot of pain. Paddy says what happened? Murphy says ‘it’s that bastard Fray Bentos pie, it said after cooking stand in boiling water for two minutes’ 😆
Top tip: with a large knife, remove the pastry and put it on a greased baking tray and put in the oven on a different shelf than the rest of the pie. Reunite them once they're both done. Perfect pastry.
@Slalom True but I’ll still eat it if I am hungry but if I am on my way into a gig where I know I will be jumping around expending energy often the only quick food is a ginsters but I’ll take it.
I was off sick in the 90's and back then I couldn't cook, and had just finished a no-solids period, so I had just removed my Fray Bentos pie from the oven, added a tin of potatoes and a spoon of peas...both expertly microwaved in a mug, when the doorbell went! It was a colleague of mine from the warehosue who had come to see if I was really sick. I told him I had just dished-up so he would have to watch me eat. As soon as he spied the empty pie-tin he said: "I am surprised you would eat one of those... Given the news!" "What news I said" (stuffing my face, as I hadn't been allowed to eat for four days). "There's people in those pies, they get the meat from hospitals!!" He said. Now, I haven't been able to confirm or deny this, but have always since wondered, is that why they taste so... 'special'. 🤔👍😂🤣🇬🇧
@@robertjenkins4886 When I was a kid , , ( long before this ad.) the adverts used to describe it as “The noodly bit at the bottom!” They really were a special treat- I loved them!
I have to admit I couldn't get enough of them as a child. But if you put it in the oven like the man did half of the steak and kidney would have ended up at the bottom of the oven.
The last Fray Bentos pie I had no chunks of meat resembling the pic in the ad and when I separated the tiny bits of meat from the copious gravy it amounted to less than a dessert spoon and a half.
It's taken me 2 minutes to stop laugh8ng and dry my eyes. The funniest bit is what is UNDER the pastry, NO Fray Bentos pie filling looks like that, NO, NO, NO! 😂😂
Man's food. That is the perfect meal everyday for those who want heart disease and bowel cancer. And you are improving dear. The way you used that tin opener and put the tin in the oven. No man could do that. What happened last time did she not put the oven on. Now you little minx, upstairs for our 30 seconds of love making.
Maybe some think that being in a tin was off putting but Fray Bentos pies were great . Infinitely better than the fast food crap one encounters these days..
One of the early British tanks that fought at the Battle of Passchendaele was given the nickname "Fray Bentos", because the men inside felt like disgusting pieces of third grade meat that the upper classes wouldn't touch, just like the pie.
"The product looks disgusting". I would be delighted to get that today. Try a Fray Bentos Pie 2020, If you can find any meat in them at all, will be so small about the size of a pea. I used to love them, but now I would rather have Quorn pie at it closer to meat than Fray Bentos.
Yeah, they were good back then. I tried one a year ago - nothing like! Remember Fray Bentos corned beef? That was good back then too. Still, you can't stand in the way of progress! As they say.
Isnt really any different to the YORKIE chocolate adverts that were played well into the early 2000s. _"Its not for girls"_ The world only really went mad around 2012 onwards.
I love pies , and some yesrs ago i bought one of these , just the smell put me off, like dog food and in the bin it went . Would come in handy after a nuclear war but tbh i would rather take my chances with a fallout tainted rat for tea instead.
So little meat in them now they are probably suitable for vegetarians? I’ve seen an empty tin used a a satellite dish for analogue signals from Astra before😂
Well perhaps even in the early sixties the mad bitch feminists of the seventies were riled. Even in their Princess of Sheba, petulant adolescences, adverts like this gave them ammunition. The fact that it's deliberately ironic, and like a forerunner to feminism anyway, probably escaped them.
How do they get away with it? Food lanelling regulations require that there actually be steak and kidney in it. What happened to Trading Standards Officers?
Corny ad but based in truth, you learn to cook especially as a new wife, men really do like food like steak pies and bacon more than women do. Why get uptight over facts.
Straight to the point. NO PISSIN ABOUT AND NOWT TAKEN OUT. I'm almost 60 years old and mis this kind of TV. I was brought up on Till death us do part and love thy neighbour. You can't even mention Benny Hill these days 😢
I'll see your steak and kidney pie commercial and go all-in with the Mister Delicious commercial series from Rax: th-cam.com/video/uEcz8I64Mz0/w-d-xo.html
Looks revolting...sounds revolting. Eat real, eat proper. The amount of fucking dipsticks I see on here trying to look all professional by "reviewing" fray bentos products need a goddamn reality check and pronto and I'm always more than happy to give them one! Life always needs some amount of people to remind some others how utterly completely ridiculous something is.
I have seen way worse ads this is pretty standard for its time.these pies still exist and I love them.
These pies only just still exist lol no meat left in them now and the gravy has turned very gloopy.
@@danimayb Yeah they used to be 10X better still.dont mind them though.
Six decades have passed and attitudes have changed. I like Fray Bentos.
Its changed from them days no steak or kidney in nowadays just mulch and £4 for one.

@@tims5268agree but, the only way to have a perfect meat pie is to make it all yourself
“Worst commercial” Nah worked for me and made me want a steak and kidney pie from Fray Bentos 😁
You don't get steak or kidney in them now though. Just a smearing of gravy underneath some pastry.
@Slalom True but I’ll still eat it if I am hungry but if I am on my way into a gig where I know I will be jumping around expending energy often the only quick food is a ginsters but I’ll take it.
Brilliant advert for a crackin’ pie!
“Excellent darling, you’re improving.” Nice bit of encouragement there, not all men are bad. 🙂
A wonderful advert made before the world went mad! Reminds me of my own kitchen.
Does it have an actor in a traditional butcher's costume standing in it?
@@anonUK no, that’s something it hasn’t got but it does have a wife serving me up my dinner!!
Never in your life would you get that much meat in a Frey bentos pie never in a million years

Research human meat in McDonald's burgers
It is man's food - made out of men...
You say this after the bud lite ad ? Doesn’t even come close!
They never used to have a filling like that, it was nearly all gravy, and the underside of the pastry was always soggy. Quite disgusting in fact.
Soggy bit is the best part

Men needed the protein back then ,women were housewives and happy for the man to provide happier times .
I'm not s sure those women want you to speak for them.
*best commercial ever made.
Can't see what's wrong with this ad..
At least we don't need ear plugs
The pastry is good, pity they don’t put some meat in them along with the gravy.
It's a pie you say, with meat you say, get the front door for me I'm going to the store.
I served this up to my French friends once. They were suitably revolted.
And secretly thought you was a gormless UK moron. Well done, get a biscuit off mummy.
Dog food with a pastry crust
Ah yea, back when they had actual meat in them
The last Fray Bentos pie I had no chunks of meat resembling the pic in the ad and when I separated the tiny bits of meat from the copious gravy it amounted to less than a dessert spoon and a half.
What was the name of the Cuban Dictator that seized power in 1959?

I think Tom O'Connor advertising marmite was worse than this
This was before the size of the pie shrunk.
I dont see how this is the worst commerical....It's actually quite good.
Will be buying a couple tomorrow after watching this. Cheers.
Possibly the best advert ever made😂
I was surprised too see they actually still make them ,
It’s a great advert. We need more MANS FOOD today. Steak and kidney pie - great stuff.
Still eat these today. Proper.
Is that guy Fray Bentos?
Fray Bentos refers to a city in Uruguay famed for meat processing
Great advert..true, it is a mans food. From a town called Fray Bentos, which is in Uruguay. 🇬🇧
i must say the laughs really kill me

No, just because they felt like tinned meat. 'Fray Bentos' was army slang for 'good' because their corned beef was so popular.
With laugh track clearly a spoof
Why the silly added laughter?
It’s the woke brigade.
Fry Bentos "dogs food"..
Worst pie ever made
Not sure about the product today.
Personally, I think it's rather good.
It should be , I wonder if he'll get the chuffing lid off 🤣

I bought one wondering if they were any good. It was just dry pastry and soggy pastry and gravy. Not a morsel of meat to be found.
Yeah, they were good back then. I tried one a year ago - nothing like!
Remember Fray Bentos corned beef? That was good back then too.
Still, you can't stand in the way of progress! As they say.
Great ad and tasty food. Beats MacDonald’s shite hands down.
Not a lot of meat nowadays
If they ran that today people a bunch of dudes would definitely go buy it.
You wouldn't get that much meat in a hundred, let alone one!

More meat on a sparrows knee in these today
They don’t look like that now 🤣
What the colour of the actors seem to be wrong!

What's the laughing in the background?
Old people are crazy they ate Mentos for food 💀
Better a steak and kidney pie in a tin than laughter from a can. Thanks for posting though anyway, far too little old UK TV online. .
It is man's food
So little meat in them now they are probably suitable for vegetarians? I’ve seen an empty tin used a a satellite dish for analogue signals from Astra before😂
Looks like it belongs on a skit of All That from the 90’s
A commercial with a laugh track feels extra slimy.
That, plus there are bits of random conversations in the overlay.
Well perhaps even in the early sixties the mad bitch feminists of the seventies were riled. Even in their Princess of Sheba, petulant adolescences, adverts like this gave them ammunition. The fact that it's deliberately ironic, and like a forerunner to feminism anyway, probably escaped them.

Who are the people laughing?
They had a decent amount of filling back then
MANS FOOD! Made me laugh.
What's wrong with saying "man's food" anyway?
He wasn't wrong.
Used to be great in the seventies plenty of meat !Now no eat hardly never buy them 👍🏻❤plus what’s wrong with mans food ?
Good pies though!
Had one of those about a year ago,5 chunks of meat and second hand gravy is what’s in it nowadays,complete waste of money
