Born Hoffen bread (Australian ad, 1982)

[Supermercado]

This norgfest was still going around in the late 80's/early 90's.

[HiggsRaccoon]

Ah, I remember this commercial!

As I recall, there ended up being two versions of it - this one and another where the pig's squealing was replaced with the sound of plates and other bits of crockery breaking.

(I think the second version appeared later, in response to so many people thinking the original sound effect sounded a bit suspect.)

[mazzarge]

It,s more likely him squealing after refusing it for so long while baking the bread.

Paul Chubb. RIP.

[Sonoftoenails93]

but hey i still believe that he had sex with the woman and u psychoanalyzed it too much lol

[Sonoftoenails93]

wow I've been debating over weather a man had sex with a pig or a woman

[Sonoftoenails93]

what a life........

[Nigaromia]

This is ol Mr Beaurepairs

[Sonoftoenails93]

the pig could of been merely squealing because it simply got in the way of him and woman doing it

[AustralianAds]

@Sonoftoenails93

or maybe the fat bread maker simply poked the wrong hole?

[Sonoftoenails93]

@AustralianAds in any case man can not live on bread alone

[AustralianAds]

@Sonoftoenails93 yeah, but he can live without fucking a pig.

[JiminyKracker]

@Sonoftoenails93 could've been a threesome too

[Nigaromia]

This was probably the first wholemeal bread which started the health food crap we have today!

[blackwhimsy]

@Nigaromia Actually Bornhoffen was a pretty awesome bread. We LOVED it in our house. So full of seeds and fibre it stuck to the insides of your ribs. We even fought over who got the big super,thick crusts on either end of the loaf. Only downside was if I ate too much of it it gave me bad oesophagitis.

[Nigaromia]

@blackwhimsy Hey there, I remember they brought back Bornhoffen bread around 2006/07 but they took it away again, don't know why.?

[geraint0808]

They never advertised Hovis like this!!!

[Dristarg]

Whatever his sexual tastes, at least he's got a good "work now play later" attitude.

[jessicana77]

Ah this is such a cheeky ad, i remember seeing this when I was 5 or 6.

[LilithFilth]

OMG! I can't forget this one.

I think even as a kid the pig squeeling concerned me a little. ;)

[boomshanka]

I've seen this on one of Jasper Carrott's specials.

[ade425mxy]

No One has Paul's Show, Whatch this space,, I need to seee some of it again!

[ruantengyi]

One of the most funniest ads i have ever seen!

Part 2

The pig is heard to squeal because in all the rush and hurry it got caught up in the melee - wasn't quick enough to get out of the way. You'd squeal too if a big man shoved you out of the road!

Anyway that's my opinion. By the way I remember this ad I was 15 or 16 at the time... it certainly made an impression on *me*. ;-)

[tomchristmas]

You're not wrong. That's the great thing about this ad; it's open for varying interpretations.

[tomchristmas]

I based my interpretation not only on the squealing but also on the man's overall filthy countenance. He appears to be a man ostracised by society at large, forced to engage in menial tasks to earn his pittance and to seek succour in farm animals since no woman would normally come near him. So when the day comes that no less than five beauties proposition him, he's utterly confused! Hence he rejects them and retreats to what he knows best: bread baking and 'pig porking'.

[LilithFilth]

Love it! :D haha

[peecee1384]

It's agreat ad any way you look at it... but can you even buy Bornhoffen bread any more? Funnily enough I noticed at my local Coles Supermarket Bornhoffen yoghurt for sale.

[peecee1384]

Part 1

Sorry Tom I think you've got it wrong.

He's a baker. He has to make the bread. It's not easy with all those ladies around making eyes at him... but through sheer will he keeps his mind on the bread and off them!

At the end of the day, once the bread is made, his job is done. Another wench appears seductively stroking a small pig. He can go for it now but first he has to eat *his* daily bread. He wants the girl so he eats it super fast and dives in.

[tomchristmas]

He's not *trying* not to be distracted by the women, as you say. He has no interest in them. His proclivities are "porcine" ;)

[AustralianAds]

if that's so, why does he release all his frustrations out on the pig? He must have had an interest in the women, but instead just fucked a pig instead.. doesn't that make sense?

[tomchristmas]

He prefers pigs because he's perverted. It's called bestiality.

He is releasing his "frustrations" through his bread making. The buxom wenches are mere distractions to this process, which is why he ignores them.

What I find bizarre is that the women seem to have an interest in this guy...don't think the interest would remain once they found out what he does to pigs...

[tomchristmas]

Put it this way: the girls were obviously keen. If he wanted them, he could've had them right there and then.

[AustralianAds]

He had to bake bread... not just any bread either. He had to bake Born Hoffen bread!

Anyway, obviously he wasn't interested in the keen women... not while he had his Born Hoffen bread and a pretty little pig to fuck!

[Gazza1233]

looks like the guy who used to play for North Sydney

[Maxxply]

The lookalike who played for Norths was Stan Jurd

[Gazza1233]

Nah it wasn't Jurd....It was Steve someone.

[BroncoBB]

That's the late Paul Chubb!

[AustralianAds]

thank you, i'll add that to my details.
