Put some butter on the spuds Andre.

Came across this link to said Kerrygold ad plus some more.Remember that bitter old crone in the later version?"They'll be serving now ,any minute".And I used to hate that family in the Nightsaver ad with a passion.

Call me foolish but I could never understand the "importance" of that line "Who is taking the horse to France?"
And as for "Sally O'Brien and the way she might look at you",I've heard that line many times but only found out it was from an ad only a couple of years ago when Pat Kenny showed a clip of the ad while on the subject of emigration.Before that I actually thought that line was the name of an old comedy or play(the earliest Harp ad I can remember is the one with the vikings).
On the same show,Kenny also showed the more recent Kerrygold ad,which has a more serious line:
"We're exporting all our best stuff".

Looked to me like the irish guy & his foreign missus had yet to make an announcement that they were leaving together, and it was going to be forced to be said just after that. Seems the moany faced auld one knows its coming and won't approve.

I took the export our best stuff to mean the man himself, being "stolen" from the mother.

Kerrygold returned to the small screen last month with a new ad specifically for the Irish market, produced and edited by Irish International/ BBDO. Entitled ‘Sod,’ it tells the story of an Irish son who has returned to Ireland to visit his mother, accompanied by his pregnant German wife, and highlights the Irish mother’s reluctance to let go the apron strings and the Irishman’s attachment to his homeland. Featuring the catchphrase “Sure we export all our best stuff,” Kerrygold is also underlining its strength as an export product.

Kerrygold is among the top three imported brands in over 50 markets worldwide, leading its category in over half of those. And it is the market leader in Germany, where over 405 million packs of Kerrygold butter are sold each year.

John Jordan, marketing director, Irish Dairy Board, commented: “The new advert keeps the Kerrygold story up-to-date by fusing present day emigration with traditional Irish scenes and topics which almost everyone can identify with. This new ad is sure to attain iconic status and we look forward to the public picking up on new Kerrygold quotes.”

Previous famous Kerrygold lines include “Who’s taking the horse to France?” and “Will you put a bit of butter on the spuds Andre.” The new TV campaign will run until Christmas and will be supported by a strong promotional campaign by the Irish Dairy Board.

Yep-me too.It was that little look and grin she threw in her son's direction after she said those words.

After seeing the one where they're out fishing,it felt like only yesterday when I saw that ad on the telly last.I remember it always made me hungry.About "André"('ees derr someteeng I can elp?').by any chance is he actually Irish in real life? Tis just that I know that face from somewhere,he seems familiar from something else.

The ad where the grim reaper pays Mrs.O'Connor a visit and she invites him in sayin "come in outa the rain,you look like death",and she takes the billhook off him and hangs it up with her umbrella,they go in and they have tea and sandwiches by the fire-was that a Kerrygold ad or am I mistaken?

That really ring a bell. Did it end with the reaper leaving in a different coloured cloak or something?

He left with Mrs O'Conner's umbrella, instead of his scythe

Miscellaneous Fact #135: Sally O'Brien was played by Vicki Michelle who was better-known outside Ireland as Yvette in 'Allo 'Allo (for us Irish, that is her secondary claim to fame).

Makes me wonder....exactly how hard was it to get an Irish cailín to just give a wink and a flirty look in that ad.
Ridiculous.

I used to wonder, when the horse went to France, did Andre buy it? Probably burgers. :eek:

More useless info. The baldy old fella that Benny Hill patted on the head was a relative of Alan Kernaghans former Rep of Ireland player. Grand uncle I think
