[Fbozboz]

That's how you drink a beverage. 

[theorigin97]

[GavinJ37]

Cant solo guys drink without spilling it down their face. Kind of a waste really.

[SenorPeedoBear]

[scoochymama79]

@SenorPeedoBear

Hi there

I'm the Solo brand manager - I'd love to know this Solo man's name for our brand history if you don't mind sharing.....

[TheRboro]

hah the caterss looked for some tassie paddlers for the part and my dad was one.

[mmmmm9872345]

I knew immediately from the song that the man would have a moustache.

[tryandlisten]

you gotta crack a Solo!! LOL

[ozzybob]

I want that blow up raft !!!

[SGH28N]

How the f%ck did I get here ?

[sdmitch16]

You gotta take the lead and make the others ____?

Extra tangy lemon solo. _______ so you can slam it down fast. Can anyone tell me the missing lyrics? Thx

[HorseWithNoUsername]

@sdmitch16 "follow" and "Light on the fizz".

[sdmitch16]

@HorseWithNoUsername Thanks

[peerless77]

I'm having multiple flashbacks with watching all these 80's ads on youtube, I think my brain will explode

[BigJulieWasDead]

@peerless77 ditto, priceless stuff.

[ElPayasoMalo]

Is this stuff still available?

[explodingtoast]

At primary school, we'd re-do the lyrics as:

"YA GOTTA CRACK A STIFFY!"

A stiffy was a coloquial term for "hard-on".

A "hard-on" is a coloquial term for an "erection".

Of the penis.

[Slipstream0001]

I love the singer... it sounds like Matt Stone/Trey Parker being douche bags but it's 50x funnier 'cos it's real.

[tech9803]

Love the ultra-dramatic slo-mo, like we're supposed to be awe-struck.

"You've faced the challenge...of a 60cm waterfall."

[jawbraeka]

@tech9803 and kids did the equivalent with a jump from a 30 cm high jimmied bike jump made from a milk crate and a plank of wood that was 20cm too skinny.

[thehammonds]

I worked u

[bigcheeeez]

Nice 'tache

[monkeychelsea]

teeheeheee

[dfranzke]

YOU GOTTA CRAK A SOWWLOOww!

[blackwhimsy]

The inspiration for Leo Wanker.

[brettmac89]

light on the piss??

[hanginthereboy]

'Yea piss week man' compared to Fully Loaded Man....His raft doesn't have the horsepower of the Mistral Breezeair .....

[DrewzaFreestyle]

lol

[Enddor]

I am going to buy a case of this stuff, and throw it on-stage to the next concert I attend as a cue to CRACK A SOLO!

[Lochnessvkh]

SOLO MAN is still awsome...The fully loaded man not far away!!....

[stevechavura]

Solo man kills Fully Loaded Man

[blocka75]

I think you will find Campbell's is taking the piss out of this ad!

[meprim]

I love Australian ad's and I come From Australia

[jawbraeka]

So Tangy You feel the blisters rising in your throat  .... YOU GOTTA CRACK A SOLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[BrunoLovrinovic]

beautiful, but I agree...not as good as Chunky Fully Loaded Man

[BibleStorm]

Now I want a solo.

[kcdl]

I alway remember the waterfall as higher than that? DId they have another one where he goes over a higher one or is my memory faulty?

[gojustyle]

The commercial is dope!!! Pure dopeness!

[nicktubara]

gotta dig that song and that ad. real men doing real men things :) like kayaking down a waterfall, and drinking solo.

[xOneWayStudiosx]

This song is in my top 10 favorite commercial songs of all time list. I love how they replayed the clip from :12 at the end; It's like they couldn't believe he actually didn't flip the raft over!

[DraughtFilms]

Hey does anyone know the name of this guy? Is he still alive?

[tbaxt15]

yehhh, my dad and me are friends with him! hes awesome!

[jocksjocks1]

ha ha he took me for a surfing class on a school camp in the 90's

[PSnJizzleFiz]

he teaches at my school. lmao

[kereopaNZM]

fully loaded man is better

[yerocotalrap]

@kereopaNZM hahaha FULLY LOADED CAAAANNN!!!!

[chillgriller4]

@kereopaNZM Agreed fully loaded man is hilarious, but you do realise that he is a pisstake/tribute to the 80's solo man ads right...?

[bigpoppa1234]

I love the slow mo on the 1 meter drop.

[ozzybob]

@bigpoppa1234 oh so EPIC !!!! ha

[GunnyJH]

This i the second best commercial i've ever seen, right next to the Fully loaded can man.

[BlackMetalMovies]

YOU GOTTA CRACK A SOALOW

[klashn1]

Solo is totally marketed at men. My guess is, guys gotta drink something if they can't drink beer, and this is it... not a lot of fizz so you can slam it down fast like a VB or a Carlton

[klashn1]

Now thats a classic ad. They hooked me. I was a Solo man 4 life, until i got Lifted

[bushdidit2u911]

love it! gotta crack a solo!

[brendanbrumby]

This is a classic 1980s advertisement. I absolutely LOVE that song. Going strong, Solo Man!

[pronto355]

The most scary thing about these Solo ads from the eighties was the fact that the "hero" was supposed to look so cool.

Hard to do when there are bigger rapids in a bathtub :-)

[IanGorton]

I fancy a solo right about now

[shutupandrideyerbike]

whos seen the chunky soup as piss take of this

[IanGorton]

Yeah I dare say that's where they got the idea from. Though I remember one where they go over a water fall.

[inqisit0r]

thats why i came to see this ad. cos that chunky ad (the greatest ad i ever seen) reminded me of this ad

[dogonthebox]

you,ve got to drink solo to be a macho man.you,ve got to have a hairy chest & six pack.you,ve got to drink solo to absolute macho man.why did they do this kind of ad to sell lolly water.

[inqisit0r]

hehehe :) tell that to coca cola.

[southwestblues]

Yu've got to work it hard to be a Solo man!

[aleenaueen]

You can quote what you see!

What a man!

[AccendoBlue]

LOL!!!! That womans voice is soooo funny

[bigfaluda]

You've gotta crack a Solo!
