This bloody advert got my mate 3 months in DC for this ,After he gave this bloke a tango slap it all went off big time lol and he got nicked ..thats a fact .
I got Tango'd at school, around the freaking ears! They did it all wrong, it's the cheeks and from the front not back! It's one of the single most unpleasant things that has happened to me!
It wasn't slapped ears,. it was slapped cheeks,... do you DRINK with your ears? NO!! ya drink with yer cheeks,. and that's where the orange fella slapped him! On the CHEEKS!! Funny advert! Loved it! :D
when i went to the Bradford museum of film and TV they gave us a lecture about tht advert. basically when it came out kids, as u sed, copied it and went around slapping thier mates or random kids. However one day one boy decided to do it to his friend but rather than slap his cheeks he slapped him in the ears and burst both his ear drums deafaning him. so then they changed it to the orange guy giving the drinker a big kiss instead. just shows u the power of advertising!
HA!! I remember this ad when I lived in Germany!!! (I had the Sky one channel). I remember seeing this once and then it disapeared. Also heard about it being banned at the Wikipedia site.
If only the strike was a slap to the cheek instead of the highly dangerous double ear clap, then this advert might not have had the controversy that would later result in its banning.
I dunno; I had my ear clapped a while back. Although I was lucky enough not to get deafened in that ear, it's still a very unpleasant experience. Out of the two I definitely prefer the cheeks!

This was banned because kids were doing this at school.

except he only kisses him with his hand in front of his mouth so that there's no contact, lol.

The version they didn't ban is the one where he gives him a peck (small kiss) on the lips. Lol

Classic advert. Love the way before he claps the guy's face he stands back at an angle and stares at him. Amusing...

Double ear clap is more amusing.
