The next ad break, and our first advert is for Wrigley’s Ice White, which was actually my favourite brand of chewing gum as a child, until they just stopped making it and I was stuck with Juicy Fruit instead. Typical.

A group of kids then pretend to be cars, only for that one weird kid – probably me – to start imitating his mother’s Nissan Micra, which is specially engineered to reduce noise. You can bet that kid got a beating the next day.

The folks at Aardman then show off their animation skills in a brief advert for Lurpak, featuring one of their characters playing the trombone. The fact that they did the animation is splendid enough, really.

A group of African animals then gather in a bar for a glass of Schweppes. I haven’t got a clue what they were thinking when they made this advert, but at least it’s exotic. It’s a far cry from when John Cleese used to advertise for them, though.

After that, a man crashes his van and seriously injures himself, but not before getting one last sex session before he succumbs to internal bleeding. Yes, it’s a weird Tango advert, presenting the drink as some sort of British custom. Who honestly actually drank Tango from a teacup? You know someone’s done it.

Next, a horrific nerd caricature is knocked about from place to place after someone eats a Twix. It’s somewhat irritating, but anything’s better than that bloody Twix factory thing they’re still showing to this day.

Last on the list is an advert for the Nissan Primera, where they apologize for being just too damn fast. That’s the arrogance of a champion, man.

It’s back to the movie after that.
