No, that would never get shown here. Prior to the Internet, Chris Tarrant made a nice living out of showing foreign adverts, I recall. They usually had me in stitches. It was amazing to see what you could get away with.
And they were genuinely funny - there seems to be very few UK ads that are that, these days.
The Scandinavian sex education ones were always the nest!
Been a lot of mileage in that over the years. Clive James used to do it before Chris Tarrant, and I think there was a 'Someone Else on TV" for a short while after Chris Tarrant stopped doing it but I can't recall who. And did I imagine it or did Annie Wink Robinson do something similar for the Beeb? Don't remember the Scandinavian sex ed stuff though.
Add insightful or amusing remarks for me to think on and respond to. Or add annoying comment spam for me to waste time deleting, in which case may your genitals turn square and fester at the corners.
