I really want to do this with my friends some day! Turn up at a supermarket late one night dressed as Adam and the Ants and just re-enact this entire video!
Don't know where this idea came from but it was fantastic, a real laugh. Hope the real Adam Ant has enjoyed this. Nick Moran certainly did Mr Goddard justice.
This was just lovely. I was laughing out loud when they were doing the Prince Charming on the security camera. Mackenzie Crook playing Gary Tibbs!? Just made me smile.
Was casually enjoying this hilarious video as a fan of Adam & The Ants and every one of these actors, and suddenly realised that this was filmed at my local Co-op... LOL
67pet I just watched this video today and had a great laugh. I've been a Adam Ant fan for a long-time and this is great. Adam Ant should be happy to have someone to portray him in this fashion is brilliant.
No-one's picked up the reference to Diana Fluck ("Diana Fluck to Till 7"). Diana Fluck is Diana Dors' real name and she appeared in the Prince Charming video.
Better late than never, I was checking the comments to see if anyone else had picked up on that. DD was marvellous, lovely to hear this "Tribute" to her.
Excllent! I never had a video camera (or friends who could act worth a damn), but my sister and I could both write humor 'til we were exhausted. So we wrote these stories and scripts about The Cars. This was circa 1985, when they were a huge and colorful act, so we sotra transmogrified their onstage personae into actual personalities. If I recall, Ric Ocasek controlled everyone with a Vader-like, telekinetic death grip. I'm sure those pages are SOMEWHERE around here . . . ! Again, great job! LOL
Ben Culture You should get them acted out even 5 years later. The Cars are still very much loved, as is the whole New Wave scene. Look how well this was received. Share those ideas and jokes. You never know...
Omg, I almost didn't recognize Gary Tibbs in the role of Dirk the Duty Manager. I always thought he was so gorgeous back in the day. Great kick ass bassist too.
Oh boy would I love to purchase these lovely guys !!! Especially Adam ! Che chingggg. Ring a ding ding !!!!! Wonder will Tesco online Stand and Deliver !!! X x
OMFG!!! this is the funniest thing ever!!! I am such a huge Adam and the Ants fan lol... I wonder if Adam has actually seen this... I bet he would laugh too :P
@@traciemarsh1611 thx for the polite answer. there might be a chance to see or read the interview myself if you had told me where to find this. and sometimes I siimply like asking before believing
@@Kelly14UK might be. Might be both, as they are really dressed like the SSS, same hair, same makeup even the net on "degville" 's face. Sputnik's were pretty famous in the 80s, so probably they referenced the "Punks in the supermarket" using the Sputnik's lookalike.
I heard about this, but never got a chance to actually watch it - until now! The only bit that doesn't work for me is the 'quid for the trolley'. Back in 1981 we still had £1 notes.
The Store Manager should have had some special offers for the Antz... Chicken Wings of the Wild Frontier Ants In Raison Hot dog eat Dog (You're So) Fizzy cola (groans) lol
@appleXinkling ROFL i know i'm sure he would have loved it... It certainly gave me a giggle, i love the way Adam is like the adult and the rest of the band are the kids just mucking about LOL!
@appleXinkling The two parts that got me laughing so much was... "Well, have you tried the pick 'n' mix" and "Oah, every time we go shopping. Every time!"
I love Adam Ant, always have. To see Nick Moran portray him going shopping with the rest of the Ants, I think, is hilarious. Wonder what the real Adam Ant thinks of it?
Anyone notice the appearance of Sigue Sigue Sputnik? Slight anachronism there as they came a couple of years after the Ants,but a wonderful film nonetheless!
seerauberjohnny Yeah I noticed that too. Quite a bit later like 86 or at least 85 at push. But like them, very distinctive. Duran Duran would've been a better one to do for accuracy or even Bow Wow Wow
delias89 They wrote certain instrumentals for the skit. Check the two people credited for the original music. They cleverly mimicked one with the Burundi & drum sticks and one more western Adam Ant/Marco style
i want to go to a co-op where apart from the Ants in there shopping,we have Sigue Sigue Sputnik just casually stolling by. Yana Ya Ya was there instead of Ray,so maybe he sent them out toget some munchies. Can just see the shopping list, Buy eggs,Buy bread,Buy 7up,Buy big pack of Monster Munch,Buy EMI. :-)
The 6 to 8 problem is pretty easy. Just buy four of one and three of the other. Granted, that's a lot of nothing but hotdogs and rolls for a while. :-/
Is that anything at all to do with Joe Meek? Anyway the bass in Antmusic is amazing and wondering if it was Adam or Mooney playing on the song. Cheers : D @@VanielDeeform
I really want to do this with my friends some day! Turn up at a supermarket late one night dressed as Adam and the Ants and just re-enact this entire video!
I'm in.
You would have to include a cast of thousands of screaming girls too if you wanted it to look authentic lol
that would be so cool
Don't know where this idea came from but it was fantastic, a real laugh. Hope the real Adam Ant has enjoyed this. Nick Moran certainly did Mr Goddard justice.
The 'Prince Charming' dance down the aisle cracks me up!
This was just lovely. I was laughing out loud when they were doing the Prince Charming on the security camera. Mackenzie Crook playing Gary Tibbs!? Just made me smile.
"Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely co-ants-idental."
Excellent.
Was casually enjoying this hilarious video as a fan of Adam & The Ants and every one of these actors, and suddenly realised that this was filmed at my local Co-op... LOL
You'll find its my local Co Op not yours, I bid you good morrow
pls dont take this down. i have watched so many times and still love it!
A spoof on the Adam and the Ants in their heyday in the early 1980s -- superbly done!!
Eh?, its a documentary, a kind of follow the band type affair if you will.
I love the hot dogs in a can and finger rolls reference. Tim Plester does a great job as Merrick.
a friend pointed me to this film after I actually had a dream about going grocery shopping with Adam Ant! I hadn't heard of it before then, ha ha!
An ant fan for decades and I didnt know this existed until today. its crazy, I always thought Nick Moran would make a great Adam Ant
67pet I just watched this video today and had a great laugh. I've been a Adam Ant fan for a long-time and this is great. Adam Ant should be happy to have someone to portray him in this fashion is brilliant.
They could of made a series out of this... love it.❤❤
I know❣️ I wish they would have, that would have been awesome❣️
No-one's picked up the reference to Diana Fluck ("Diana Fluck to Till 7"). Diana Fluck is Diana Dors' real name and she appeared in the Prince Charming video.
and the light blue car
Better late than never, I was checking the comments to see if anyone else had picked up on that. DD was marvellous, lovely to hear this "Tribute" to her.
This was stupendous-thanks for sharing it with us😁
LOL Aye. Discovered it a few years back. Bloody hilarious.
This manages to be brilliant, hilarious, and somehow timeless, ironically. A repeat-watch. :)
I always thought Nick Moran looked like Adam Ant, this is pure genius!!!
Whos nick moron?, that is the chap out of Adams ants
He sure does. Even MacKenzie Crook does a great job in the role of the gorgeous Gary Tibbs.
Excllent!

I remember watching this years ago when they played it on late night channel 4. Still cracks me up
Hilarious!! And how on earth did they get Gary Tibbs to play "Dirk" (complete with his white sox)???
...and Mackenzie Crook as Gary Tibbs!!!
Omg, I almost didn't recognize Gary Tibbs in the role of Dirk the Duty Manager. I always thought he was so gorgeous back in the day. Great kick ass bassist too.
Never seen this its ace! They got the clobber down to a tee! Gary tibbs should take up acting, hes a natural!
He also did some acting in The Beggars Opera with Roger Daltrey and Patricia Routledge.
nick moran as adam is bloody brilliant :) funny thing is i can see adam dancing down the shop haha gotta love adam :)
Very cool. Thanks for this!
Absolute class! Can't believe I haven't seen this before.
This is hilarious! I needed it!
I love this❣️It deserves more likes💖
I love how they give Marco such a hard time LOL!
supermarket announcer sounds like Mark Heap! Thanks for posting this, love it =D
"Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely co-ants-idental."
Love it!
Thought of The Clash’s “Lost in the Supermarket “ whole time I watched.
👍😎❤️
yes, me too!
its brilliant thanks for sharing this !
I absolutely LOVE this! 🐜 ❤️
"...have you tried the Pick 'n' Mix?"
Gets me crying with laughter everytime
Oh boy would I love to purchase these lovely guys !!! Especially Adam ! Che chingggg. Ring a ding ding !!!!! Wonder will Tesco online Stand and Deliver !!! X x
OMFG!!! this is the funniest thing ever!!!
I am such a huge Adam and the Ants fan lol... I wonder if Adam has actually seen this... I bet he would laugh too :P
he has seen it he thought it was funny :)
@@traciemarsh1611 how do you know?
@@claudiab6105 because he said in an interview smh. and what business is it of others what others write about things they know
@@traciemarsh1611 thx for the polite answer. there might be a chance to see or read the interview myself if you had told me where to find this. and sometimes I siimply like asking before believing
TERRY LEE? TERRY LEE?? DID YOU CHECK THE PICK N MIX?
hahaaah OMG THIS VIDEO IS EVERYTHING.
Hilarious! And Sigue Sigue Sputnik (well, some lookalikes) appearing @ 03:49 ? Fun-tastic ...
I think it's a reference to an obscure early Adam song called There's A Punk In The Supermarket
@@Kelly14UK might be. Might be both, as they are really dressed like the SSS, same hair, same makeup even the net on "degville" 's face. Sputnik's were pretty famous in the 80s, so probably they referenced the "Punks in the supermarket" using the Sputnik's lookalike.
Funny .. so funny ! I hope Adam sees this :)
I heard about this, but never got a chance to actually watch it - until now! The only bit that doesn't work for me is the 'quid for the trolley'. Back in 1981 we still had £1 notes.
haha good point!
this is so good :)
Nick you are almost as gorgeous as Adam himself love to meet you while shopping !!
mackenzie crook as gary tibbs!!!
Loved this! Made my night! :)

OMG You lot are a bunch of GENIUS'S! That was the funniest thing ever!
Gary Tibbs from pretty boy to tough looking dude.
LMAO!!!!!!! Great job. I love it.
Love this so much.
'Diana Fluck to checkout seven'. LOL.
While they were shopping, they should have played in the background "Lost in the Supermarket" by The Clash.
Very clever quite enjoyed this
oh that entrance! nick is just so gorgeous :)
haha that's genius..and Gary Tibbs himself..siggghhhhhh
i love everyone in this film
The Store Manager should have had some special offers for the Antz...
Chicken Wings of the Wild Frontier
Ants In Raison
Hot dog eat Dog
(You're So) Fizzy cola
(groans) lol
In the ready meal section Prince Chow Mein ...
That is either the best copy of Adam`s Hussar military jacket I have ever seen or they borrowed the real one from the V&A Museum.
Genius... I love how Marco has been portrayed!
'Would Mr Stuart Goddard come to the customer services counter..Mr Stuart Goddard..' Like The SSS reference as well.
edit holy shit! Gary Tibbs!!
@appleXinkling ROFL i know i'm sure he would have loved it...
It certainly gave me a giggle, i love the way Adam is like the adult and the rest of the band are the kids just mucking about LOL!
i got the dvd today the extras are so funny :)
BrilliANT!
ADAM ANT!Grocery shopping 🛍 😍 😆 😄 😳?Haha!
this is toooooo cool... i love it
@appleXinkling The two parts that got me laughing so much was... "Well, have you tried the pick 'n' mix" and "Oah, every time we go shopping. Every time!"
Does Terry-Lee remind anyone else of Noel Fielding? Or is it just me?
I love Adam Ant, always have. To see Nick Moran portray him going shopping with the rest of the Ants, I think, is hilarious. Wonder what the real Adam Ant thinks of it?
adam thought it was funny :)
this is how im gonna start shopping :D
FINALLY a way i can watch it in the US!
the real gary looks amazing :)
He is great bassist and actor too. He also played bass for the Vibrators, Roxy Music and Little Steven and The Disciples of Soul.
Great Stuff!
Hilarious, wonder if Adam Himself has seen this. Love it.
Ok love adam ant and nick moran so in heaven. what dvd is this on
It's out on VHS in all good video stockists
5:16 "Would Mr. Stuart Goddard please come to the customer services counter? Thank you."

che artista completo e affascinante

Duran Duran would've been a better one to do for accuracy or even Bow Wow Wow
This is funny!!!
The drum beat at the beginning of the film when they're walking into the store -- what song is it from?! I must know!!!
delias89 They wrote certain instrumentals for the skit. Check the two people credited for the original music. They cleverly mimicked one with the Burundi & drum sticks and one more western Adam Ant/Marco style
I'd check out the King's of the Wild Frontier album from Adam and the Ants, it sounds like the intro to antmusic
And "there's a punk in the supermarket"!
i want to go to a co-op where apart from the Ants in there shopping,we have Sigue Sigue Sputnik just casually stolling by. Yana Ya Ya was there instead of Ray,so maybe he sent them out toget some munchies. Can just see the shopping list, Buy eggs,Buy bread,Buy 7up,Buy big pack of Monster Munch,Buy EMI. :-)
i love those words in the end......but never have a chance to find his face...... who is he
Mr. Nick Moran s'got gorgeous eyebrows.
The 6 to 8 problem is pretty easy. Just buy four of one and three of the other. Granted, that's a lot of nothing but hotdogs and rolls for a while. :-/
dancing in the shop lmao. ican see the real adam doing that :P the guy looks like adam hes really cute :)
you aint got a quid on ya have you?.....what??? rofl omfg that adam guy is freaking cute :P
can somebody explain the ending to me? i'm a bit lost. why did they leave him like that??
they were playing as boys do ;)
Marco's having Car Trouble!
OMG!!
Hilariously funny 😂 😂😂😂😂
"Stop... DRUMMING". Classic.
Who's the guy playing Adam cos he has Adam Ant, shorter hair before Dog Eat Dog, mastered.
03:49 Punk(s) In The Supermarket
Nick Moran - was in Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels (Eddy the card player)
Yeah i found that out. He looks like Adam Ant just before he hit the big time. .Simon H
He never really had hair to begin with lol"
He directed the film Telstar which was well done too 💫
Is that anything at all to do with Joe Meek? Anyway the bass in Antmusic is amazing and wondering if it was Adam or Mooney playing on the song. Cheers : D @@VanielDeeform
Jan from casually on the till!
Is it the real Hussar jacket he is wearing in this?! :D
Funny!
@patternshirt in the naughty north and in the sexy south?
the music
as they come through door is catchy lol wtf is it :P
Diana Fluck aka Diana Dors.
