    "Lemsip Max Strength: it seperates the men from the boys."

    Well, clearly. If you think about it, for this to make it into the ad, at least one person had to think it makes sense.

    Ian is a cock tbh. I hope someone robs his lemsip so he dies the next time he gets the flu.

    Bet the underling was thinking to himself "Damn! My plan to debilitate Ian by smearing his coffee cup with the flu virus has failed! Better just go directly to plan B and inject him with Ebola. Lets see lemsip deal with that one."


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,263 ✭✭✭Caesar_Bojangle


    ' Ian!!! Only yesterday you were leaking from every orifice in your body '


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 981 ✭✭✭flikflak

    It says it seperates "men from boys". What kind of "man" is going to take lemsip for a sniffle anyway :confused: ,they called it "max strength" to give it some cred but it is a contradition in terms. Ian should model for those "just for men adds" with a big grey head like that :)

    Best thing about that ad...hands down...has to be Ian's hair. Yeh just don't see those kind of partings these days...love it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,730 ✭✭✭✭simu


    Rofl. Funniest thread in ages!

    PAL!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,156 ✭✭✭DaBreno


    Lemsip? Pah!

    Ian and his mate should be taken from the office to a secret underground location. Locked into a tiny cell, stripped Naked, in Pitch Black, each given a rusty slash hook and told only one of them is getting out when they can present the others Liver.

    THAT would sort the Men from the boys!

    apparently michael jackson's defense team are suggesting putting him on a lifelong dosage of it as part of a plea bargain

    Of course the most ludicrous part of the ad is them advocating the use of Lemsip at all - you might as well take Smarties


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,713 ✭✭✭✭jor el


    Actually PAL, that ad is a crock of shyte. But this thread on the other hand is bloody brilliant. Just what I needed to wake me up on a lazy Friday evening.

    stagolee - LMAO post of the year, priceless.
    DaBreno - a close second :D

    everytime I hear that ad I imagine the weedy guy squatting on the table leaving a little present for Ian.

    "IAN, eh I didn't expect you back for ages!"

    Strangely nobody else I know has had the same idea

    Looks like ian's hair's gone down the pan pal!


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 5,555 ✭✭✭tSubh Dearg


    This is the funniest thread ever! It made me cry with laughter.

    Think there should be more casual swearing in it though...just like real life!

    eg "Ian! WTF are you doing back?"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 271 ✭✭Lynibeth


    Other bloke to win?
    Ok I officially know the ad off by heart. Me and my sister sat for 40 minutes today laughin at Ian's face and of course, his hair!! And the part where he shoves him .. classic! Or what about that other bloke messin with his tie! PAH HAHA

    Ian is a legend!

    Ian for president

    ACTUALLY PAL :mad: But you're ill how come?
    COS HE FECKIN SAID SO RIGHT! :cool:

    Sadder still was my role as a Lemsip drug 'mule' to my mates in the States living in cold ol' Boston who swore by the stuff each winter.

    Apparently it's banned over their because it contains Codeine, which can't be sold without prescription in the states.

    Still useless though, real men would take a hot Whiskey.

    The ad also shows up the subtle cultural differences between here and the UK. If that was in Ireland it would be like "Jaysus, Ian man, can't come into work for the next couple of weeks, me head is bleedin mucus city"
