Them bones, them bones, need calcium (TV Advert)

[unorthodoxJ]

The wooden man is pretty rigid with just a few connecting pieces, compared to the kids with their many extra bones

Not only do I not understand why people would be so opposed to the random & bizarre, but how they could not understand that this really wasn't

[alastairward]

It's better than the "it's what Ian Rush drinks" ad

[JCaesar11]

I always found this ad a little disturbing, like that giant wooden figure was going to extract the calcium from their bones ala something you'd see on the x-files but then I was/am a bit odd :)

[Daelion164]

I still remember this and I was only 6

[TuckLikesFire]

I wouldn't want to drink milk after seeing this...

[anarchykid2688]

this should be flagged as inappropriate wood haha !!

[anarchykid2688]

that wooden fella scared the shit outta me when it was on !!!! ><

[blanchardstown1234]

This ad is soo much better than the recreated on from 2000

[ziflever]

i cant believe that nobody has noticed the visible erection as bone man slinks back into the chair this is the first time i googled this ad expecting to see lots of comments about the wood

[kevinkav]

BRITAAAAAIIIIIIN!!!!!!!



[adamA593]

Were the people who made this video High on crack

[conorsmitheire]

haha this was probably my fave advert when i was very small!!!

it was repeated on tv in 2000

[phily4life]

(Refering to the wooden man in this) Now i see where they got the idea for the character Mokujin in the Tekken games! :P

[whizzhead]

honestly if i was one of those kids the shit would be frightened out of me

[robyn21100]

even the way he sits down at the end is creepy!

[busterkeatonsbriefs]

That wooden dummy scared the crap out of my little brother he hid behind the sofa every time it came on

[fakerbaker1000]

those where the happy days after 2 world wars and numerous recessions "another irish institute thats gone is sadly irish biscuits(Jacobs), it was shut down by a greedy bastard ."

[casperld]

like it was yesterday!

[musicfreakme91]

i loved this!

[eoinwatkins]

freaked the shit outta me wen i was a kid

[pufferfishish]

Absolutely ludicrous advert. Whoever decided that an oversized male wooden lay figure had anything to do with milk whatsoever should never be allowed to work in advertising again.

Why didn't they have someone in a cow suit or something instead?

[kazimann]

@pufferfishish You have to remember, the wooden man made this ad memorable.

[pufferfishish]

@kazimann yes, of course it's memorable, but that is hardly a valid reason. As a qualified graphic designer even I'm at a loss as to why they came up with such an idea. I know they must have been thinking of something 'unassuming' coming to life in the kids' room to educate them on the benefits of milk, but a lifesize wooden artists' lay-figure isn't even something that you'd find in a kid's bedroom.

Still good because it's got us all reminiscing about how weird it all was though I suppose.

[boscoesarmy]

@kazimann I agree with pufferfinish. I fucking hated this add as a child. Its it is the worst add I ever seen in my life. I just seen it by accident here on utube. I hate is as much now as I did as a child.

[filmnet]

The wooden man is useless. He doesn't even answer the child's question about how many bones there are in a body... you know, the actual number... What a muppet!

[HardStyle4Ev3r]

Shit, now i'm scared of milk!

[RoisinApollonia]

Sick.

[ThisNormalLife]

Kryten the early years lol

[PaulSuedeTwin]

remember coming home from second class to turn on TCC only to see this, creepy wodden cunt, no wonder this generation of mine turned out shit, we're all traumatised

[frankcarty]

"Me Father was a tree!"

[dillonpb]

@frankcarty

"and me mudder was a pencil sharpener"



[ClaynationDude2013]

[Waxthumper]

Creepy as shit

[lambie1985]

[raznol]

[natsannho]

[nelliedrake]

i stopped drinking milk because of that wooden thing. creepy!!

[llwayneio]

A natural law? are trees going to arrest me if i dont drink milk?

[jdkit]

no but u mite get a freaky wood-man forcing it down your throat while you try to do your colouring

[Foloman1]

That ad would frighten the shite out of most kids today!

[rebelliousdiamond]

[TheDustieV]

[AgentSpeed92]

[kazimann]

You can download the MP4 file of this (use Google to look up downloading YouTube videos).

You can can then extract the audio using certain software (like Audacity or similar).

[n900able]

@AgentSpeed92 Use real player

[glennncullen]

If a pint of milk helps your bones, those kids are fucked... Only got a glassfull!

[BaldGoseph]

This add freaked the hell out of me as a child.....I still get shivers....

[DudeSimpson]

HOW AWESOME IS THIS??

[mufcstokesy]

[lyndsaymcgregor2]

MEMORIES! I still know all the words!

[evilbert82]

[kazimann]

SARCASM ALERT!!!

[dukeofstradone]

@kazimann LOL

[hairybadger37]

The good thing about the ressision is that they will be making top quality ads like this again

[thinlizzynut]

hahaha i remember this ad ... but what in the fuck was the brown yoke made of ? was he wood or plastic or what?

[knickie07]

they seem more surprised 'that a child's got more bones than a grown up's got' than the fact there's a big scary wooden yoke dancin around their room.... love the way he collapses at the end!

[VoteHarveyDent]

Natural law?

I thought it was always fact?

[brusnabullet]

dat ad used to scare the living shite out of me.... pint of milk,... use metic yea plank of wood

[JohanKH]

Yeah, because more always meen higher requirements, that's why two rabbits need more food than a cow!

[clinkercontrol]

fuck milk and homework if that wooden yoke was in my room id be braking the thing up

[01roadwarrior]

youd think there ma wud be wide to the big dirty paedo in a pinochio suit hidein out in the kids room

[fearsomestmoocow]

I lol'd

[seesnap]

lol whaaaaaaaaaa haha

[DaPieguyStudios]

i have to draw these wooden men in art class. xD

[rich7skeleton]

they should not let him anywhere near children

[eabhaadore]

A skeleton would have been scarier than the wooden man...although it would have made a bit more sense.

Excellent ad! Very effective if everyone remembers it!

[peadareen]

that add used to vex the bejaysus out of me!!!

[getnasty08]

Petrified

[Probiscuit]

That put the fear of God into me. Jaysus.

[lovelyrhia913]

omg the fuckin 90's ROCKED!...LMAO

[DirectorQueen]

Aw wow... Childhood memories right there :D

Thanks for this

[Fabbydabbydoozy]

Them bones them bones need grammar lessons

[bawpsherep]

Terrifying

[RuRee]

amen to that.

[ciaramc29]

They forgot to say that you need to take vitamin D to help absorb the calcium into the bones.

I remember this add all to well.

[biggyshackleton]

and thats a natural law? thers nothing as f*cking natural as a wooden peodophile!

[plug007]

I remember this. thanks for sharing!

[Demachic]

THem Bones Them Bones need Calcium! And thats the natural Law =D

[SeanOBriain]

and that's a natural law!

[torokthetroll]

[razorblades2008]

Ahhhh, brilliant, them were the days...

[lokio08]

PEDO!

[JustAGraffer]

They Were The Days

[carracastle]

[steviefitz]

[yabigslev]

[Apeworth]

i love the way he collapses backwards into the seat at the end

[Fabbydabbydoozy]

Would YOU allow YOUR kids to accept tall glasses of a strange white substance from a dancing wooden homosexual?

Damn right you wooden't.

[Ricastarr201]

omg! bwahahaha! lmao! soo wrong! lmao

[senomad]

lol

[pufferfishish]

@Fabbydabbydoozy Three years later and I'm still pissing myself at your comment. You should be a comedian, seriously

[filmnet]

I always thought the phrase was "How many bones has a grown up got?"... but apparently it's "how many bones has a body got?" instead!

[S73PH]

That ad has been on my mind the last two days, I don't know what made me think of it. But like coister4life, that wooden guy freaked me out as a child....nowadays naked wooden men advising kids to drink milk on tv would cause an uproar! How did they manage to get away with that for so long????

[kazimann]

I agree, and that ad was on television up to the late 90's I remember. Innocent times!

[colster4life]

That guy scared the s*** out of me as a kid!

[seesnap]

i have the flu today,i feel like the wooden man in this video lol

[dawnrun911]

I always worry when governments and the media say something is good for us. Milk is full of all sorts of nasty shit, growth hormones, anti-biotics,etc.

[Criscokilika]

haha! It's true!

[ruane85]

"I always worry when governments and the media say something is good for us. Milk is full of all sorts of nasty shit, growth hormones, anti-biotics,etc"

no its not u tosser. read up on legislation before you make stupid statements like that.

[JABman06]

weird...that was the 90's!
