It was beautifully played all through... a mini materpiece with some wonderful touches. Besides the dogs barking, did you hear the tube train pulling out?
"It is sometimes said of those who have mastered standard English that they speak with a plum in their mouth. When you think of what most of this country sounds as though it's got in its mouth when it speaks, a plum seems to me a highly desirable alternative."
*Fun Fact:* When younger, she was the lead actress in the _Look & Read_ children's programme _'The Boy From Space'._ I recently introduced my son to that show, having found it on DVD, and now it's one of his Top 5 favourite things to watch! 🥰❤️
THE BEER ITSELF IS BULLSIT AND OF LOW QUALITY BUT THE AD IS VERY GOOD AND OF HIGH QUALITY. SOMETHING THAT MUST HAVE SLIPPED PAST AGFAGEAVART. I BET HE DRINKS CARLING BLACK LABEL.
What you said about "pc" is BS; there ARE funny ads still on tv now. And, spitting image went off air 'cause it was too expense to make, and went down in the ratings. And btw...I don't drink cat's pee beers: only Real ales / imported lagers / and a good drop of port for me!! Blame the mega breweries which buy-up the tiny ones. Merry Xmas!!! ;-)
It's by the ever eloquent Howard Jacobson. He was addressing some Oxford students in 1991, making the case against educated yoof's wholesale adoption of demotic English. Even then he knew the war was lost. From an excellent BBC film "Think of England - Yo! Mrs Askew".
@Paul Lamphrey The final episode was quite scary as the boy manages to get home with the Thin Man held captive behind a forcefield in the spaceship. Stuck in my seven year old mind as I kept worrying that he might escape. Think you can buy the entire thing on DVD
I remember this ad... seems like a whole new message now tho! Drink and become en-fickner-ised... the more you drink the stupider you become.. they told us so in the ad...
Who the hell played DEL..."get yer larfin gear around that"...Surely somebody knows. If your reading this DEL, put us out of out curious misery, you are young enough to still be around
@KyotoMartyn LMAO :P only reason why i know about this chic is cos i watched this film with her and robson green in it called the gambling man. And i liked her ever sicne i saw her :P
The odd thing is, she was pronouncing Majorca correctly at the start. The bloke was teaching her to say it wrongly! You're not supposed to say the J in Majorca, that's as bad as saying the K in knife etc. Anyway, isn't Majorca an English spelling, go there and you'll see it spelt Mallorca.
No No No that's the joke, she's meant to say it like maJorca to sound cockney and working class. She's meant to be saying it "wrong" which the man is trying to get her to.
No you don’t understand.Majorca is the correct pronunciation.It’s Catalán.The word for greater is major not mayor as in Castilian.So Mallorca is in fact Castilian as Majorca is Catalán.People in Britain think that the pronunciation is “vulgar “but purely by accident it’s correct.

As a non alcoholic… shamefully have to admit… it’s probably the best advert in the world 😎
Britain used to make amazing adverts! You used to actually enjoy watching them.
Still a fun advert 35 years on
LOL, I'm still laughing at this advert. Sylvestra Le Touzel gives a great performance :)
It was beautifully played all through... a mini materpiece with some wonderful touches. Besides the dogs barking, did you hear the tube train pulling out?
What I wouldn't give to back in time, Halcyon days !
What has one of Ellie Goulding's album got to do with any of this
When Heineken ads were the best.
"It is sometimes said of those who have mastered standard English that they speak with a plum in their mouth. When you think of what most of this country sounds as though it's got in its mouth when it speaks, a plum seems to me a highly desirable alternative."
that STILL makes me laugh...............Yah! Absolutely Ron
That bit ALWAYS confused me. I always thought he was saying Absolutely WRONG. But was never sure.
a very fine actress.
She always has been! And Sylvestra Le Touzel will be as beautiful as this when she's 90.
*Fun Fact:*
When younger, she was the lead actress in the _Look & Read_ children's programme _'The Boy From Space'._
I recently introduced my son to that show, having found it on DVD, and now it's one of his Top 5 favourite things to watch! 🥰❤️
Hell of a varied CV she’s got. Was in The Thick Of It. Also I’m currently rewatching Between The Lines and she turns up in series 3z
@@cartertheunstoppablefaxmac902 very cool 😃😎
this has to be the most brilliant ad of the time (in my view) ha ha ha
The ads then were much better than today's one's..
@vania1013 Sylvestra Le Touzel is still alive. Sadly Bryan Pringle died in 2002. Don't know who the young guy was.
this is the best advert I've ever seen
Classic of the 1980s
Thank you. I remember this, I love it.
GOSH! that was a classic ad.
Absolutely brilliant!!!
Hilarious! Those were the days.
A lot more humor back then . Political correctness came along and killed it off. Remember spitting image?
bullshit!

There is plenty of humour now
Top Banana ADVERT 😂😂😂
Its bacon balls hahaha
Arthur "Tiger " Pringle
Ha ha I was scrolling through these comments to find a reference to Tiger.
the carling and hieneken ads. always leave me in stiches
great advert:)
I`d love to see the John Smith ad where some bloke chatting up a bird at the bar says her name was his mothers name lol

She also played 'Helen' alongside Stephen Garlick's 'Dan' in the famous Look and Read 'The Boy From Space' story.
Gad that was a great story. Had me enthralled!

"Heineken: it'll chavify even the poshest princess."
CLASSIC ABSOULUTLEY CLASSIC.
sehr geil
Thank you. Lovely man, VB. ;-)
I remember this ad... seems like a whole new message now tho! Drink and become en-fickner-ised... the more you drink the stupider you become.. they told us so in the ad...
Three white people in an advert together. Ah, I remember those days..
Nice pint happy days 😊
Oi think she's go' it! Oi think she's go' it!
"The water in Majorca don't taste like what it oughta." Heineken refreshes the parts wot other beers cannot reach.
He did all the Heineken voicovers for these ones.
Sylvestra Le Touzel is the lady. Posh name for a posh voice, until she drinks the Heineken.
Yes.
Bryan Pringle had an acting CV as long as BOTH legs....
Who the hell played DEL..."get yer larfin gear around that"...Surely somebody knows. If your reading this DEL, put us out of out curious misery, you are young enough to still be around
@danielaung691 I suspect they do when they pull.
It's still open
@KyotoMartyn LMAO :P only reason why i know about this chic is cos i watched this film with her and robson green in it called the gambling man. And i liked her ever sicne i saw her :P
unparalleled wits
i love cockney, i love estuary
Or 'Drink and you get Street Cred'.
Hmmm... the voice over the closing shot sounds like Victor Borge; I wonder if it WAS [??]
Yes indeed !!! 👍🏻
Sylvestra Le Touzel
i say bring them back so we can flick them in unsuspecting eyes lol
It seems to be a sad fact of advertising life that the worse the product the better the advert.
loved this1!
@TumbleTower LOL! Thats the joke, he's teaching her to say it cockney style-which is the incorrect pronunciation!
lubricant for language!
braVO, Kyoto! Where did you get this quote.
Brill.
LMFAO I LOVE IT
New York English (specifically Bensonhurst Brooklyn English)
Please!! Which one is the Sloane Ranger accent?? I need to know it for a class project!! Thanks! :)
Cockney is the English English as ______ is to American English?
Heineken. Just being the best is enough. Imported by Van Munching and Company, New York, New York.
I tried it, and I still sound posh...or so I'm told!
me like it.... :D
Super Stardom
ye they were wernt that we most prob did aswell lol
@KyotoMartyn Essex girls dont have plums in their mouths ;)
Bradley Cooper.
Estuarine, working class London, is one of the least pleasant of English accents. Cockney is what it is: inner London.
