[afuzzyduck]

[85hellopeople]

The top comments made me piss myself. :-)

[eon14873]

someone at college (back in the day in liscard,merseyside) told me that a local fella walked like mr soft. i told 'em to piss off then one day i was on the bus there he was floatin down liscard town centre

[TheAmericanColleen]

[LeahWalters1]

whn i first herd this my dad played it to me n said tht it represanted a police man tht had arrested my brother i cldnt stop laphing

[jacojahoss]

They should definitely have made a slasher film featuring Mr Soft doing the slicing and dicing. He is one scary dude.

[99ikeacock]

lol XD

[99ikeacock]

f***ing hell i hate his smile and he walks like a retard

[Queenmoreta]

@99ikeacock and what does he get for walking like a retard? he walks into a post XD.

[EdSoulman]

This Advert Terrified me, i thought I was the only 1, clearly not.

[brother776]

its not playng properly :(

[eclectica1]

This advert is NOT scary. And yes, I too was a little kid when it first came out.

[1985SJW]

@eclectica1 i loved it when it was first aired on telly believe it or not i thought there was a such place called softworld lmao.

[Floobegusted]

Were there other softmints adverts like this?

[jwgrooves]

Mmmm, tramadol...

[iCarlyROCKSMYSOCKS95]

I have but one thing to say.......

.....o__e

[senortoot]

wow, ketamine is one hell of a drug

[adam0000270000]

Ha Ha Mr Soft

[ultimateMacgregor]

I have to admit this commercial was a little weird when I first saw it, especially when he smacked into the lamp post.

[geligniteandlilies]

I've recently gotten into Cockney Rebel and I heard this commercial used one of their songs so I came looking. This was the creepiest commercial I have seen in ages. I gotta go scrub my brain out with the original song/performance now.

[monkeyboy85]

gorgeous sweets but that doesnt excuse them for mentally scaring us all,lol.

[ebonyguy69]

classic advert from the past..such great dace moves lO_0...anybody wanna see the real life version ..watch?v=8Yg7KL4v1w0

[rockinatmidnight]

What the hell did I just watch!?!?

[stupidjunk878]

I hated this advert as a kid. Why on worth would they put such a horrible scary advert aimed at kids?

[hav123uandme1]

This is really actually scary when you've seen it so many times.

[brhodes0]

I was too old to be scared by this but I can see why it would freak kids out. In a kind of 'noseybonk' style, coupled with the odd way the bloke sings. Horrible!!

[SourApplez1211]

I want one of those.

[SourApplez1211]

This commercial came out before I was born.

[MusicanoftheFuture]

Yes Mr Soft on the Softmints advert I remember this it was shown sometime back in the 1990s but what year was this?

Thanks 4 these happy memories.

[8lu3m00n007]

I've not seen this ad for roughly 15 maybe 20 years, and it still scared the shit out of me!

[JetBlackSky]

Good god, this advert scared the hell out of me as a child.

[kev00ify]

im suppos 2 walk like him

[RickStormT]

Apparently i dance like this!?

[KITTYclaws10]

mr sooooooft wont u tell me why the world in which ur living is so straaaaaaange! Oh mr soooft how come everything around u is so soft and rearraaaaaanged! LOL!

[pretearking]

No offense but who ever thought of this commercial must have been really, really high!

[RufusChamberlain]

you know, you dont have to smoke drugs to be a complete fruitcake.

[pretearking]

@RufusChamberlain So, I take it that YOU'RE a fruitcake since you are telling me this! Thanks for telling me but, unlike you, like screw WOMEN!!! Not MEN! Nice try flirting with another guy though... lmao

[SuzyCreamcheese1]

Love it, people think I'm mad when I do my mr soft walk...no one remembers it except me so they all think I'm mad (or doin K, demonfister!!) Can't believe you kids were scared, he's basically a stuffed toy for gods sake!! Now Hartley Hare, he was fukkin scary...but you're too young to know who I mean... youtube it...

[demonfister]

KETAMINE!!

[Tyburn13]

meezercat you're wrong. its steve harley and cockney rebel

[dale3racer]

Is this ad from 1988?

I read referneces from Lego RockBand

[sleeming88]

Not putting my hand in THAT letterbox!

[ShynAwkward]

This advert scared the sh*t out of me when I was a kid...

Imagine being 6 years old & going to the toilet late at night, & being scared to turn on the light or turn around incase you see this Mr Soft character sitting in the corner chewing mints, all menacing & sh*t.....

[eclectica1]

Oh come off it. I was around the same age as you, and used to think it was funny!!!!!!!!!

[alphaecho100]

@ShynAwkward That postbox used to frighten me when I was a kid lol

[samanthaheron1]

my god i started singing this and people were lyk what the hell mr soffffftttttt

the guy is a druggie

[meezercat]

This was written and performed by Rrussell Bell from Tubeway Army

[krakenwave]

Do what? Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel - there's even a cip of them doing it on TOTP in 74.

[amigamagic]

CLASS - try to walk like him, it's not that easy!!

[minimoza]

i do evertime ive had a skinfull of booze ;)

is it just me or do old skool adverts pwn the crap out of modern ones???

[TigerWalrus26980]

No, it's not just you.

[samnninty]

the guy that made this must have been so high when he thought of it

[andwarr]

Gordon Ramsey looks so young...

[keiko909]

lmfao!

[kustomflex]

@andwarr HAHA good observation! This freaked me out as a kid!

[chulk607]

@andwarr

Good spot! Haha.

[Jez32uk]

@andwarr looks more like Jimmy Carr

[BRAKESUK80]

@andwarr well spotted :)

[supahdupahguy81]

I know someone acts like this when he`s had a few too many....

[StrangerUK01]

This REALLY freaked me out back in the day, and the song is irritatingly catchy.

[bouncingbongo]

that is scary i hope they dont ever show that again !!

[jamestheposh]

Sounds like Peter Davision narrating the last few words of the ad.

[yowassupbro]

Mr Soft was my nickname in school because of my special walk. In a mean way.

[gillo69]

I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS IN YEARS....

What year is this from???

[de4th0]

Bout 1994 i think.

[Lauraloos1981]

I wouldnt want EVERYTHING to be 'soft' while having relations with Mr 'soft'

[thedarkdude999]

wit da wine gum add i thought dat if i eat 1 i would go craszy lik on da add but no luck i was pissed off

[MrDemolitionMan]

Using Trebor softmints to feed a parking meter is a criminal offence.

[imooreory]

I know i tryed

[DominatorMCMLXXVIII]

And the lamppost was hard because...? Am I missing something or what? Don't tell me it was meant to be joke because I wont believe you.

[PortgasDAce13]

....because it was crispy on the outside..?

[mecha1789]

...

that would be the WORST character to start seeing whilst on mushrooms....

[Newy100]

hahahahahahahahahahahaha ur really funny!!! pmsl, bet the jelly babies would really freak u out,lol

[mecha1789]

Hahaha! or the cabbage patch kids D:

That shit'd be like dawn of the frickin dead xD

[knocknamona]

Me to! So, so glad to see it again. That cheered me right up!

[QfromAirdrie]

This is THE scariest advert ever made. Even scarier than the "Play Safe" adverts!

[FengLong]

ye i used to find this scary as a kid too.

scary and transfixing~~ and for years since, my mum has sung that theme tune whenever shes bought softmints through the years xD

and mr soft reminded me of a naughty kid there was at beavers~ which was always additionally weird to me at the time

[rk246]

wots scary bout that??

.. wen i was small i thought if u eat softmints u'll start walking like that and everything around u wud turn like that, but i was dissapointed wen i ate softmints and nuthing happened. FALSE ADVERTISING lol

[DominatorMCMLXXVIII]

You were a simple child then?

[rk246]

hmm cud say i was.. and even with the rice cripsies advert wen i was small, i thought snap crackle and pop wud cum out the bowl if i put milk in the rice cripsies, i filled a bowl up and put milk in it and put it in the garden, and i herd snaps cracklin and poppin but no characters, i was dissapointed. lol

[pegnose]

easily the greatest advert ever made

[drinkupmeheartysyoho]

OMG I love this advert :) weren't they much better yrs ago :) x

[bettyyylovers]

at 0:19 the post box didnt even eat anything? but great ad

ps. I think its a post box but im not sure lol

[xoAngharadxo]

[kilburn2000]

[xoAngharadxo]

yes, why wouldnt i be??

[BlackPoppy666]

omg i remember this, i typed this in for a joke cos i thought i had dreamt this ad!!!! xx

[ijk9999]

try watching that when your stoned, you will freak

[krakenwave]

So that's where Liam Gallagher got that walk from...

[fuzzycoat3]

Mr. soft!

[FuckOffBastardHead]

cool advert

[TheBeatfox]

Haha, freaky - especially for 1987! Shame I grew up on the left side of the pond instead of the right, else I could've led a traumatized childhood along with the rest of you. XD

Then again, I guess we do have our fair share of childhood traumatizers over here too...

[DCFC79]

I liked this ad, was good

[tylersbro]

this is funny

[maglavagna]

I remember this. I don't like it. It's scary.

[vorpalspaz]

if anyone is interested the song is by cockney rebel. search mr soft on you tube if you're curious about the second and third verse

[vivthefree]

Cut and paste the URL, and send this to every guy you know who has problems achieving an erection!

[malone1985]

i used to be scared of this ad, it was in the early 90's.

[eclectica1]

Great advert, remember it from when I was little. Thought it was funny rather than scary.

[torokthetroll]

omg i dident remember this add till i saw it now, wow i remember how freaky it was

[iloveponteporn]

haha, mr soft is ace

[Griceyboy]

takes me back to my youth can any one remember the excat year?

[torokthetroll]

1985

[klmattydub]

nah bout 93 this i reckon, 94 maybe - it was definately on when i was about 7 or 8

[kingdaniel69]

I went to Splendour In The Grass in Byron Bay in Australia and took one too many trips and that is just what it was like, even my mate said i walked like that!

[liz691]

he fell ovarr

he fell ovarr

lol wat a fab worldd :P

[MyZyna]

i always wanted to be in the advert...just run up and crash/bounce off everywhere hahaha... so soft and rearrrrrrranged lmao

[lighthouse500]

lol this is an all time classic advert

[deathproof77]

Its gordan ramsey

[Daawaa]

it fuckin is! XD hahahaaaa

[tkhushrenada]

seconded

[strunway]

i liked it soo, ispecifically searched for in when I saw a white building on telly,

the music is weird, the little guy is strange but why is the lamp post hard.

Id love to be in the board meeting when they came up with this.

[dexxybaby]

i like this advert

[dexxybaby]

i like this advert

[steggimite]

I loved this advert when I was a kid, I remember waiting for it to come on telly! I think I liked the cat, and the bit where he walks into a lamp post! I was only 5 when it was on, so it obviously made a lasting impression. Most ads are rubbish nowadays!

[ceilingcatiswatching]

G'damn turns out it was '87!

[ceilingcatiswatching]

what year was this please? x

[ec64]

Loved THIS ad!

[covgirl83]

classic!

[martface666]

Terrifying as a child. Absolutely gut wrenchingly horrific. Love it.

[rocon86]

Brill ad. Brings back memories

[ashb752]

man i must have been maybe 3 or 4 when this ad was on the box, im surprised i can remember it.

[bennettbuzz]

man this takes me back, what a great advert |I still knew all the words ^^

[CelticPowerRanger]

Love this ad. The legend who is Prestolovesvarla reckons Mr Softee is a bit of a scary fella. I would say it has a trippy feel to it. Probably too much magic e! By the way, why have YouTube suspended Presto's pages which had loads of great stuff on?

[kitty3188]

so glad this is on here!thought i had imagined that it exosted.what a weird video!x.x.x

[MyZyna]

lol i thought i imagined it too ..phew!

[sangfroid898]

Great advert, brings back memories as a kid. By the way the tune is Steve Harley and the Cockney Rebel - Mr Soft... at least I'm pretty sure.

[shepshepherd]

It's a slightly altered version of the song, and it's Steve singing it!

[Bekxnddean]

this advert was hillarious i know i was only small when it was on the telly but i keep asking ppl if they remember it and they all look at me as if im mad! so now i have proof!!!!

[killkittykill85]

I loved this advert, and can be found singing it today. Quite a trippy video, though!

[Hattonslad1]

I loved this advert and can still be heard singing the tune on any random day!!

[stebayli]

lol i never thought of it like that till i saw it again

[sheff182]

Classic advert, I used to love this when I was a kid.

[JoeyAKALD]

god this used to scare me when I was little

[LivesleyM]

OMG my mum says my dad walks like this XD

[matteylemage]

I love this!!! Infact when I was 6 I amde my own Mr. Soft and the cat, fence and post box - Iv'e been looking for this advert for ages:) Thanks

[Kiefty]

quite possibly the best and most outrageous advert ever

[roaduser]

for some bizzare reason i couldnt get this tune out of my head today.... weird

[vomitstorm]

FINALLY!!!! something to prove that this bloody thing did exist!

I've lost count of the amount of people who've just given me the most weirdest looks when i tried to explain it to them...

[Bekxnddean]

SAME!!! ppl jus look at me as if im weird or im making it up when i say 'oh, do you remember that softmints advert!?'

[truedovorian]

haha love it! use to love this ad when i was younger! classic stuff!

[mallyg]

Call Debbie Simmonds at DLKW 0207 836 3474, ask her for a dvd of the Mr Soft ad.

[Newsbitch]

Freaky ad...I remember it so clearly. Love the tune though, the original is one of my faves!

[pnuttah]

absolutely love it. such a tune. the walk is priceless aswell. well done whoever posted this

[1665ElmStreet]

i remember this ad it were my favourite its funny as fuck

[Texaspete69]

Brilliant I love it and used to walk around like that when I was a kid

[KooLDuDeTTe]

this is a damn good ad i just thought of the tune one day and ma bf found it on here is still a classic like it was bk then
