Leave Barry Scott Alone. he Is The Only Man On Earth Who Can Make Dirt Fall Off Bathtubs simply By Shouting At It!!!!

I died a little inside when I found out that Barry Scott wasn't a real guy.

Just like the time I saw the guy I thought ran Statoil in one of the Might Ducks movies.

I think daft Dave is just on the line, i can just about stand him and his monkey. Did you know the guy in the Harvey Norman ad is actually from Donegal, i have met him so its not a wind up.

Lambsbread

Haha. Harvey and Norman are the surnames of the two founders of Harvey Norman. Did that brick hurt much when you swallowed it?

What?! Statoil Man is a fake? I always imagined him ruling Statoil with a rod of iron, roaring "Silence!" at his minions and stroking a white cat like a Bond villain. I'll never trust tv again.

Wolf Stansson? That man was pure evil, that "tackle" on Gordon Bombay when they were playing one on one in the 2nd film was uncalled for. Definately a 2 minute minor....

BANG!and the dirt is gone:)

GO HARVEY GO!!

Haven't a Clue

I dunno, I like Barry for some reason. The ads are so bad that they've got some comedy value, so good luck to him.

I heard that someones at UCD got him to come in and give them a talk on advertising or something along those lines last year? This true?

Ruu_Old

His American equivalent is here (does all sorts of cleaning product ads).

I actually lived with a guy who was as loud as Barry Scott:mad:. How I did not murder him is a mystery to me.

He looks like the straight man from Tool Time.

Bard

Eh, the guy who does the Harvey Norman ad IS Irish, yes - but he's lived and worked in Australia for many years and picked up the Australian accent naturally - i.e.: it's not actually put on.

Oh and as for that Kaboom Never Scrub ad... was disgusted to hear the music in the background ... almost definite it's "Kelly, Watch the Stars" from Air. Grrr...

BTW...

Did you ever notice in the Cilit Bang ads how the woman whos doing the talking is clearly white, but all the close ups of hands actually cleaning are black?

that would be because her house servant is naturally doing the cleaning, not her.
