I'll bay searvin' breakfasht ... any minute

Does anyone remember this Ad? I'm nearly certain it was for Kerrygold. They were trying to repeat the catchy one-liner from the previous ad "There is something I can elp?" ... but this time, instead of the suave French Gentleman, we had an old Bridie that you wouldn't find under a bridge who's face'd crack if she smiled.

I remember that Peig look alike! it was a very dreary ad. Was that the Kerrygold ad with 'whose taking the horse to France?'

Michael Collins

I believe it may have been for Oxo actually. Assuming this is the same ad where someone says: "Dad, who's taken the horse to France?"

Owen

Kerrygold I'm afraid ...

Ah fair enough, reminds of a similar ad involing Oxo so... Although I never really got that last line about the horse...what's the big deal like?

It was kerrygold.

Whose takin the horse to france?!?!


A real conundrum. What a bizzare sh!te add!

Mrs. MacGyver

Was the one about the home ec teacher and the french guy a folllow on from this? Was it like the maxwell house ads where each linked in a story? Just wondering! Yes I agree the 'horse to France' made no sence at all. Still baffled 15 years later!!!

Agreed 100%!!!! My husband used to laugh at that line, I'd ask him what it meant, he'd just repeat what the guy had asked, I'd say "Right, and....", he'd say "That's it!"
So it wasn't just me....

*suave French chap walks into room with giggles from other girls* "Lizzah..er I mean Mizz Kennedy, can I borrow some Kerrygold please?". That ad made me puke.

Same here. Such a tacky "fiddle de dee Ireland" ad :mad:

The one with the horse going to France was another "classic" :rolleyes:

Mrs. MacGyver

Extremely cheezy indeed...Can anyone out there explain the punch line behind 'taking the horse to France' it's melting my head???

Unpossible

Wasn't the ad about a woman who came to the stables to look at a horse. The stable hand and the woman seemed to have an unspoken connection and he had her in for <whatever meal it was, breakfast or something> and it looked like it was going somewhere until the young country bumpkin next to them (not knowing who the woman was) blurted out "who's taking the horse to france".

So I reckon it was that kind of awkward silence after he butted in and ruined the other guys chances that made it funny (plus the thick country accet)

This one was on recently?

On one level it's a sh*te ad but for us 80's kids, it's still a bit class seeing Kerrygold ads that allude to one night stands on the Aran islands.

Mrs. MacGyver

Definately agree. The inneunedo was very obvious in that one! Definately one for children of the 80's. Wonder if there will be a follow up?

Indeed. Ive yet to meet an Irish woman who actually fancies these unwashed, unshaven cant be arsed even combing the hair types.

If they actually did it would be great, as I wouldnt have to bother trying anymore........
