[izabokkeman]

without a zug zug zug zug zug zug ZUGGI!

thats what they called been trying to remember for ages,

Clearly the best olivene, the one with all the olivene tin guitar and bottles and stuff class ad.

'We want buttercup and we want it now,' (filmed in George's Dining hall)

and the Cremora ad,

husband: 'honey i can't find the cremora its not it the fridge'
wife: 'its not inside its on top'
husband:slowly looking to the top of the fridge 'It's not inside its on top'

[Poison]

Didn't that Olivine ad have Oliver Mtukudzi singing in it?


How about the Bath and Basin soap ad.

It goes something like this..

Where's the Soap honey?
"In the basin dear"
"No its not in the basin"
"Well try the bath then."
"No it's not in the bath either"
"Well try the Shower then"
Well try the Show(oooo aaaa crash) er

Bath and Basin the only soap that's in 3 places at once.
HAHAHA

[biffon]

remember the "stay soft" advert where the kid had to be lifted into his pants cause they were so stiff

and Igrams Camphor Cream, also enjoyed the bata ads over the years they always had inventive skits.

[Shayne]

Ha! Remember Samson the Bull?

How did that advert go again?

[zambezilover]

ya that one was humour samson the talking bull

[Steve Scott]

Great, i'm in stitches, stop it :smiley36: :smiley36: :smiley36: :smiley36: :smiley36:

[RustyBear]

can u remember the ad for durex condoms with the two brothers and the sensible one wore them and the other brother didnt and had something like twelve kids

[chantillylace]

What was that sandak advert? Where the chick misses the mini bus and a guy gives her a lift on his handlebars?

.....ma right direction!

[RustyBear]

So there i was, castle in one hand, trousers round my ankles, cock in her mouth, balls slapping her chin, and all i thought to myself, man, what a great beer.

[izabokkeman]

HAHAHAHA you know i have actaully been in that sitaution, but with whiskey, the whiskey was better tan the head, but the lay blew my mind!!!!

[MAJONI]

This may be in the wrong place, but did any of you remember some of the hilarious stories read on the news.......

Today, near the Uswezwe River, Comrade Abraham Makoni was attacked by an Epileptic Fit whilst swiming in the River. He did not recover from the ordeal. He is survived by 4 Wives, 27 children and 17 mombies, 43 Goats and a Chicken. (A man's wealth was Judged by what he owned)

[chantillylace]

Hahahaha - there were some classics on the news weren't there? Remember when Noreen Welsh was suspended for laughing whilst broadcasting about a baby falling out of a train! But actually she was laughing at the black presenter who had confused the word ewe (pronounced ee-weh, the shone word for you) with the english word meaning a female sheep! According to him a certain number of imported rams were expected to cover 100 eewehs!

Who was that Colin dude who used to do the news with her? At least I think his name was Colin!

[zimboykie]

Come on guys, EVERYBODY has to remember:

"Whassa matta Guiseppe, you donna look so peppy?"
"I gotta all the dishes to do and da pasta sticka like glue!"
"Dishwala enda you troubles, makes lotsa super bubbles, cleans your dishes like new, gotta economy too! (?) "
"Oh Maria l love you, now l don'ta mind to wash uppa da place!"

or

"Quick Brew teabags save you labour, a perfect cuppa day or night . . . . "

or

"When you're thirstin' for a drink, need a tasty bite to eat . . . " (Wimpy advert)

Or what about that program that featured married couples being asked certain questions individually & when the opposite patner was asked the same questions they had to try & give th same answer? On the opening program there was the woman who upon being asked about the strangest place she'd ever made love, replied "in the bottom"

Brilliant!

[chantillylace]

First things first - obey your thirst, Sprite - ite!

Remember that Xmas ad? I think it was for Bata - it ran for so long the kids in it had o'levels! There was that really cute little indian kid in it!


Ooooh, and the Bata Toughies ad. When the kid is all sad walking home from school and his rhino runs to the gate to meet him!

[FerrariSucks]

that was a good one Chants

[Aboriginal]

That was my favourite Zim Ad ever.

Pssst ...... oi!

We are, we are can't you see,
The best Baked Beans in Zimbabwe!
Cashel Valley is our home,
The place where all good things are grown.
Taste our sauce and we're a treat
Yes, as Baked Beans we're hard to beat!

Mmmmmmm mmmm mmmmm mmm mmm m!

Hey did'nt some school use that as a war cry?

[Aboriginal]

That was hilarious. We used to send the Ads over to our cousins in the UK to have a laugh! Think we still have some on tape back home including the time when Noreen Welsh and her co presenter Dorcus cracked themselves up live on Main News after reading about someone giving birth in a toilet in India. They hearly lost their jobs over it but ZBC was so stupid they re broadcast the same news an hour later on TV2 so we taped it. Fuckking hilarious! Priceless.

[chantillylace]

I thought the women had given birth on a train. She thought she needed to crap and, oops, out popped a baby! Must have confused that one with another time! Those poor presenters had a tough time keeping straight faces with their colleagues mispronouncing things all the time!

[RustyBear]

I remember that it was taken very seriously and the reporter got the sack cause the baby fell through onto the tracks or something

[chantillylace]

I know this isn't from Tv but who remembers this one?

Wake up Zimbabwe Doo-doo-doo-doo-do-do-do
What a wonderful way
to start off your day.......

Sorry did't relay itvery well. You are correct it was the toilet of the train and baby landed on tracks.

[RustyBear]

Did any of you ever listen to the soccer comentator who always used to say "and remember when u see me in the street say charles here is your beer" because it is you who makes castle great. What a classic comentator he was.

[izabokkeman]

Hey did'nt some school use that as a war cry?

Our P.E. war cry had a verse in that went something like that, and our house war crys at Alex Park were like that, but did we steal it from the ad or did the ad steal it from the schools???

Great school Alex Park. Met most of my future mates then! On the theme of bad TV/Adverts anyone ever watch "Cuthbert the (fucking) sheepish lion" man we watched that at friday movies ad nauseum! Also Dr Zeus and "Green eggs and ham"! Those were great free days, the only thing you had to worry about was wether you had forgotten your afternoon sports kit and where your next jelly baby/banana/green giant/red mouth sherbet was coming from. :smiley36::smiley36::smiley36::smiley36:

[chantillylace]

I can't believe we all forgot this one! I don't remember all the words but I'm sure it'll be going round in your head all day after seeing the first line!

Kiwi, it has a super shine
Kiwi.............................

[biffon]

Gundiiii haina underwear
gundiii haina underwear...
anyone remember the rest of that war cry- it was in shona so forgive me for not remembering... but it was funny as hell!! and was picked up by a number of other schools but i believe shed was the first to use it..
hehe

[RustyBear]

chants now you got me thinking of that song and its annoying me

[chantillylace]

Thought I'd bump this thread for all the new members. Can any of you think of a few?

[squeakyB]

I used to love the cane advert - Mainstay ...

"discover a whole new world
free spirit and iron breeze"

[zambezilover]

make the change to mainstay with the ship in the carribean setting and i think there was quite a hot chick in it if my memory serves me

[Blazzo]

One that sticks in my head and still makes me chuckle...Lovemore Banda doing the sports segment
"Tiger..... Still in the woods, Ernie..... somewhere else, Nick....Paying the Price"

But my favourite ad was the Chibuku ad with the oke on the bicycle and the striped socks sticking out from under his trousers, putting his ear to the ground to listen for the chibuku truck...(or something like that) Scud after scud..

[vukenmuven]

"We want Buttercup on our sandwiches ..."

Wasn't that an advert done by the St. Georges Boys? I may be wrong ...

[Oscara212]

reyco husavi mix.....

[Bianca]

Loving reading all these! What about the Schweeps ad - still have the jingle in my head after all these years!

"When it's hot enough, no breeze to freeze, Sccccchhhweeps!"

[Raevoyn]

Our P.E. war cry had a verse in that went something like that, and our house war crys at Alex Park were like that, but did we steal it from the ad or did the ad steal it from the schools???

Aha, we used to have Derby Days against you ... Hudson Park vs Alex Park.

That's also where I had my Jaw smashed whilst playing hockey against you ous, I couldn't eat solid food for about a week!

We won the match however, so that was a small consolation ... very painful though!

[Exzim]

Once for the guy with the sparkle in his eye.....Fanta ad with 'My Nephew Moses'

And...

There are times that are really special, when it's all going right for you,
That's the time to share a Fanta with someone special too.
There are days when you feel you're winning
With whole world on your side
Gotto share that Fanta feeling with everyone in sight......

Oh yes... and the Zimsun ad:

Feel it - Can you feel it?
Feel it - Can you feel it?
We got sports
We got fun
We got it all under the sun
You can feel it all ov-er...

It had really good wildlife visuals to go with it. Hm. Makes me too nostalgic thinking about it.
