Pea-beu - hit 'em with the old Pea-beu (Australian ad, 1980)

[80sOldSkool]

HAHAHAHAHA!!! I remember this advert well, what a classic our very own Ross Higgins is. "Pea-Beu, Pea-Beu, you're not using the Pea-Beu, I just polished the lid!"

[Gemfyre]

I blame this ad for my dad feeling the need to gas us all with flyspray whenever a single fly shows up at a BBQ. *puke*

[jamdaniels]

It's "Louie the Fly" himself, Did Ross Higgins swap fly sprays for a while?

[Srekwah]

All that hype back in 90s about CFCs and the so called depletion of the Ozone layer has since been  proven false and completely natural. The media tells you nothing.

"Just because it doesn't pong doesn't mean it isn't strong!" Oh my goodness.

[madamech2007]

bloody shambles of course someone should blow flys up



[AlfaRomeo0770]

I remember that add. Classic.

@ kranktank

thats because we're all so damn sexy!! LMAO

[JiminyKracker]

Yuck. To quote Homer Simpson "Spider poison is people poison"

[aussietv2]

@JiminyKracker Exactly. It seems insane to spray a toxic chemical around your house to kill one fly. A fly swatter is just as effective and alot safer to humans.

[kranktank]

goddamn why do Australian men turn me on so much, this guy's not even really attractive

[AustralianAds]

@kranktank

I think you're the first person in history to profess that the behaviour of Ross Higgins' caricature (of an old Australian larrikin) is something turn on.

But thanx for the flattery... lol

[duggy68au]

@kranktank

thats because we're all so damn SEXY!!!!!! LMAO

[deepeemark]

[AustralianAds]

[DeafFret]

hey it's ted bullpit

[MrThatsrightbaby]

yeah! let's all breathe in toxic fumes!!! :) how little we knew back then...

[SenhorBundy]

Someone should blow insects up!

[JBofBrisbane]

@SenhorBundy - you forgot the "Bloody shambles of course!"

[roseanne74]

I can remember our family having Pea-Beu fly sprays in the home ... back then, nothing was understood about CFC's ... I can still remember the scent of the pine one of a summer night to kill mozzies, also the mosquito coils that used to burn all night.

[LilithFilth]

Did Pea-beu use those slow-mo insect shots for their other ad's? Coz I was only 2 when this ad came out & the memory was there!

[roseanne74]

Yep sure did

[Bellassett]

Now we know why the ozone is nice and thin over Australia. Good job mates!

[OthelloCat]

Ross Higgins was also the voice of Coco the Monkey in CocoPops commercials and the voice of the Mr Sheen cartoon character in the Mr Sheen cleaner commercials. Higguins was best known for Ted Bullpit in Kingswood Country. The actor who played his son-in-law, Lex Marinos -- the one called "a bloody wog" -- was, later, a segment director for the opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympic Games.

[shorn70]

jeeze all those CFC's.....no wonder we have the ozone hole above us for a while. All that Pea-Beu'ing

[IanGorton]

I wonder if Ross Higgins was trying to put on the Ted Bulpit persona

[DavidMason1]

Ross Higgins is a legend. I remember this when that came out in 1980.

[steviebboy69]

very catchy back then they were.

[AussieGregstar]
