How come .... complete the retro-advert catchphrase

Louis, how come you're such a big hit with the girls?

HAMMERCURRENT

Do you the piano is on my foot?

P. G. Tips Tea had a very long-running campaign featuring "talking" chimpanzees, until the concept became politically incorrect. The best-remembered ad (possibly inspired by a Laurel and Hardy short) featured two chimps as removal men trying to push a piano upstairs.
Son: Dad, do you know the piano's on my foot?
Dad: You hum it, son - I'll play it.

Yoohoo Mister Shifter!:D


great adverts

The Princess Bride

There was one back in late 70s early 80s-am sure it started with "how come".
It was for Lucozade, and the son had been sick and drinking lucozade and mother's friend came to visit.

" how come what's his name is

---

."**
Mother " he's worse."
Friend" "worse? ....but last time I saw him he was sitting up enjoying his lucozade-mind you,he was still off his food...."
Mother" no-he's worse!" opening the room where the son -bouncing like a mad thing-is not only better but probably hyperactive post all the sugar he'd ingested during illness.


**memory lapse,sorry!

No..No..no!!


It was an ad for pepsi and it went like this:

"Hey Eddie,how come you're such a big hit with the girls?"

Then this Fonzie clone starts a sub-elvis number with "well you can tell by what i'm drinking and i'm really kinda cool.."


Or something:D

We were never allowed get Lucozade unfortunately because it was very expensive and we were paupers in those days.

Yellow pack coke or Savage Smyth in the case of a treat!

Nearest we came to Lucozade was Glucoplus, a lucozade rip off made by C&C and the only reason we got that is that the man up the road worked in C&C and used to bring home bottles of it for the kids on the road!

My sister and I used to re enact that Lucozade add and I was the friend, thats how I still know my lines over 30 years later, lol!

I've searched and searched for that ad and can't find it...yeah it went 'hey Eddie, how come you're such a big hit with the girls?'....then the cool guy sings something like 'you can tell by what I'm drinking that I'm really kinda cool uh huh'...it was set in a diner and there were these girls sitting on stools clicking their fingers singing 'oooh ( or 'cool'?) Pepsi Cola, lipsmackin' Pepsi Cola!'
