CDP Classic ads - Shredded Wheat (1980 -1981)

[MYBIGKINDHEART]

I don't bloody believe this i only just bought new cuterly

[Pokemonguy16RS]

i love shredded wheat.

[TheKenfig]

Richard is a legend & a true gentleman in real life ; shame he was affected by a car crash head injury in the 90s

[colmul1]

jaws!

[draven26]

Caroline Quentin is the waitress and I think Julian Clary in the Sunglasses

[Madchimpz]

No two is fucking enough you piece of shit.

[stjxp]

"who can eat more than two?"

isn't that slogan counter-productive?

[Bladerunner93]

I love that guy's deep voice...

[slugworth99]

I'll see you in the parking lot afterward, Shooter!! For some shredded wheat!

[AGENT24]

LMAO, thats what I was thinking

[faridperez]

The big guy from the first commercial is the Bad Guy named "Jaws" in a couple of James Bond Movies...

[draven26]

@faridperez Richard Kiel is his name :)

[phcodelicwormgirl]

this is not a classic ad, this is just stupid and annoying and pointless, just like the cerial, shredded wheat "is it still around"

[Mekonta]

I seem to remember another advert in this family of 'can you eat three' Shredded Wheat. As I recall it was a black hole in space, riding off the then recent Disney film. Even the black hole wasn't able to eat a third!

[AlkalineNiall]

Haha, more like, "who can only eat two???"

[punkfanzrul]

i mean the second one

[thescallywags]

Re 2nd ad. Ian 'Beefy' Botham was a famous English cricketer. A ma pretending he could handle three when in truth even he couldnt. Basically he is taking the piss out of himself.

[punkfanzrul]

i dont get the third one

[finalorbit]

OK, I'm confused about the second commercial, and I'm guessing it's because I'm an American. LOL! Can somebody explain the seemingly inside joke with the second commercial? Why does he hide the 3rd one under a napking?

[UKArchiveTV]

Wow, Botham has had a 25-year relationship with Shredded Wheat. He must be a real fan.

Great clippage, thanks!

[clinicone]

Dis he say "TWO is One enough for me" !?

[dickwales]

No. He said, "Two is quite enough for me."

[thescallywags]

The only reason nobody could eat 3 is because they are so awful. You dont know whether to eat them or scrub your pans out with them.

[MothMonsterMan99]

The frosted mini kind is much tastier!

[xxBlackxBloodx]

shredded wheet!!

[TitanSound]

3??? I used to eat 4 every morning :)

[thescallywags]

Thats nothing, I could eat a rowntrees fruit pastel without chewing it.

[Perranporth]

I remember those ones! And the whole concept that you just COULDN'T eat three!

[barbiegirl4eva]

ha ha i also waitressed for ian botham, but i served him sausages whoo!

[sub333]

Insert your schoolboy joke *here*

:-)

[5600hp]

does anyone know where can i find jumbo sized shredded wheat as is shown in the video?

[joh2]

Lol, Kiel spoke more in that first advert than the entire time he played "Jaws"!

[agfagaevart]

Classics!! I remember these. The maid in the second one is Carol Harrison from Brush Strokes.

[col2006ie]

Christopher Ryan is the chef in the Ian Botham ad.

[olliedann]

Just before his starring role in 'The Young Ones'.
