Sony Bravia - Balls (feat. Jose Gonzalez)

Classic Ads From Simpler Times

This episode is recorded live in Tony's kitchen here in sunny Perth, Western Australia, where the time is 20 past 1987 and we’ve just been dropped back into a mini-lockdown because some bellend from Melbourne got Covid then went for a chicken parmi in Kardinya before dropping in at Coles so he could fuck up a long weekend for 2.8 million people.

UK listeners probably have little sympathy over a mere three day lockdown when they haven’t been outside since April last year, but let’s be honest, if you live in Britain you probably don’t want to go outside anyway when the entire place is ankle-deep in litter and smells like a tramps arse most of the time.

Anyway… join has-been advertising suit Steve Cooke, and Mount Lawley’s premier noodle expert and TV commercial director Tony Williams as we explain how Colonel Dietrich got a face transplant, before moving on to find out whether Tones would leave Jennifer Aniston for Angelina Jolie, how long it takes to train a crack squad of squirrels to crack nuts and whether the leader of the Mujahadeen Brigades has a future in advertising.

This is the episode where Tony reveals that his cold, shriveled heart has no room in it for even one of the 250,000 colourful bouncing balls used in today’s ad for Sony’s Bravia TVs.

The levels of downbeat on display from Western Australia’s foremost Jimmy Saville impersonator will remind some of our listener of the Lego Kipper ad where the absence of Tommy Cooper led to Tony sitting in the studio for an hour and a half displaying the face he usually reserves for a difficult poo.

Yes, Tony’s an absolute fun sponge in this one. Behaving like a man from a near future where happiness has been banned and everyone has to walk to work in bare feet over paths strewn with Lego… but for you and I it’s 2005, 100 million people in Indonesia are sat in the dark, devastated because they can’t watch Ken Barlow getting married again, and more importantly, Fallon London is about to get a Gold lion at Cannes after buying every ball in the contiguous United States.
