Boddingtons Bitter - Gondola (feat. Duckface)

Classic Ads From Simpler Times

This week on the pod we'll hear how Enya cracked the shits with Steve and Tones over the Jean-Claude Van Damme Volvo advert review where Tones suggested she was from Scandinavia. The girl certainly has a bit of a potty mouth on her and may have over-reacted a tad…you can judge for yourself.

Elsewhere there’s a lot of love for the actress universally known as ‘Duckface’, more speculation about the Queen’s toilet habits and some erotic anticipation on a canal up north.

In another edition of our BBH love-fest we're having a chat about a 1993 TV advert for Boddingtons beer that parodies the Walls Cornetto Gondola ad by replicating it virtually scene-for-scene but with a better script, better talent, a better director, a better DoP, and a better location.

The ad also improves on its Cornetto-based inspiration by featuring a swan and of course isn’t for ice cream that tastes of 1970s bedsits and the disappointment of being rejected by your first true love at your best friend’s sister’s party when you were 14.

How about a review? At least think about it. Even a one star jobbie would help fill the deep and empty reservoir of need that consumes our waking lives.

Ta very much. Have a look at the ad on our YouTube channel here if you fancy it https://youtu.be/zrtqWoyo1pE.
