  • Hilarious. Mr T just tryin to straighten up this world!! offensive???? get a fucking grip, the only people implying this speedwalker is gay are the ones that have complained!

  • This "human rights" bullshit needs to be terminated immediately. Anyone who disagrees with me is a fuckin knobhead.

  • I found nothing referring to homosexuality because homosexuality is someone who is looking at someone of their own gender in a funny way. To me, the guy was acting like a sissy so if this commercial were to be banned, it would be because it offends sissy people :P

  • If u can take a dick u can take a joke

  • i like snickers and i hate fags pure and simple haha!!

  • This was banned because of the storm created in the U.S. despite it been an advert for the U.K. where there was no reactionary commentary to it. Why should the U.S. dictate what is advertised to U.K. citizens?

    This is the same country that lobbied against a mayonnaise advert that showed two men kissing - in an advert shown in the U.K. - because it was grotesque. Double standards!

  • 9 speedwalkers watched this

  • Gay men need to get some nuts.

  • Comment removed

  • people need to get a fucking joke, that was funny as hell, i was laughing, i wish mroe comercials were like that, and if ur gay soo what take a joke and dont walk like a women or like u have a dildo up ur ass

  • Yes this commercial is very offensive to gay men

  • that's how speedwalkers move - suggesting that he's gay by pulling the ad is not only stupid, it's insulting to speedwalkers and gay men! morons. another case of a minority of people making a big fuss over something that most people wouldn't care about and getting their way because a corporation is scared they'll be labelled a 'racist' or 'homophobic' or 'sexist'

  • There was something offensive? I watched it and read the author description after and I gay was the last thing on my mind.

  • Another case of Idiot americans getting offended at something their ignorant little brains can't understand

  • @BipedalHumanoid

    umm. Its not the Americas that pulled the commercial because it was "offensive".....that was the Brits, you fucking ignorant dildo

  • It was pulled by the brits after the dumb arse yanks complained about it when they saw it on youtube dipshit

  • I stand by what I said. Complaints or not. If the Brits are so enlightened and freedom loving, then why did they pull the ad ?

  • Fucking retard. It was an american company that pulled the ad in Britain because it offended americans. Fuck you.

  • you´re being an ignorant ass yourself. Most Americans, 99 percent, wouldn´t care. Not to mention the US having almost 4 times the population of the UK. Meaning more people to please. That aside, it was just a protest group that happend to be based in the U.S.

  • would have been more funny if he could have shot the candy bars up the guy's ass, and he started getting off on it! :-)

  • @feelforfun eww thats just nasty XD

  • Let's get it right. Nothing is 'banned' from TV, it is only deemed "unsuitable" by the broadcasting authority. An outright ban would make it illegal to broadcast.

    I can understand the reason for it being deemed unsuitable, as it would encourage random drive-by shooting of joggers. Some may even interperet that as encouraging random violence against homosexuals. Whatever. In the gun-obsessed US that might be the norm, but not in the civilised UK. Jolly good show it is too, what what.

  • lol....this is why ide never move to the UK

  • @MadGnomeStudios Stupid yank, it was banned in the US too.

  • @cameraguy38 get of your damn pedestal! if things were politically correct they wouldn't be nearly as funny. and it's a speedwalker, not a gay. he just looks gay. and you spelled civilized wrong :P

  • Speed walkin' is gay.

  • this is offencin i mean speed walkin come on, shame mr t only had snickers :(

  • how is it offensive?!?!?!

  • wow who cares about gays its not our fault theyre fuck ups

  • Actually it was pulled because an American Human Rights company complained, even though it wasn't on American TV... madness!

  • how the hell is it offencive it is just mr t firing snickers at a speed walker

  • The UK is over fussy with loads of things compared with other countries. I say just broadcast it instead of giving in to nonsense that people come out with.

  • I rated all of your comments plus cos I was bored X)

  • It wasn't banned because people think the man is gay, it was banned because it's saying that men should not be effeminate, that all should be manly.

    It has wrongly had the blame pinned on gay people. Not all gay people find this offensive, just a handful - 15 to be exact.

    In todays society, the message being sent out is that you should be allowed to be whoever you want, no matter if you're effeminate. It was pulled to prevent further homophobia in schools, which is already a huge problem.

  • Their is nothing wrong with the advert in any sence. People are far too quick to place influences down to games or t.v. what about the parents influence? or religious influences? if someone see's this advert and says faggot then that is because they already have a strong perjudice picked up from another influence. just like if they saw two men holding hands and said faggots. another advert was the toe-dipper, and no one thought he was gay. people are just being picky.

  • Nuffn wrong with that only the gaybitchez must have complained!~

  • So because of a bunch of whiners, they pulled the best ad ever of the TV, ironic, I saw it on TV here in the Netherlands just a few weeks ago.

  • How is this sopost to offend?

  • they should have shown this in every but California than the gays wouldnt get offended lol NOW GET SOME NUTS

  • This was banned cause it was offensive to gay people? So basically all gay people speedwalk is that what these people are trying to say? Pathetic..

  • fucking offensive piece of shit... lol jks, I LOVE THIS ADVERT XDXDXD

  • No. I think it's funny, and I think it's embarassing that people think only gay people can be... fopish.

  • I'm gay and I think it's Hillarious!

  • FUKIN WOOFTERS

  • Hells no. I pity the fools who are offended by this. NOW QUIT JIBBER-JABBING AND GET SOME NUTS!

  • not even close to offence.

  • No way is offensive to gay's Mr T just made him run

  • CHUCK NORRIS WAS DRIVING I BET

  • haha those two would make a great pair ;)

  • Its bull crap, bet it was really closet gay speed walkers who complained coz they know there sports a joke, get some nut's.

  • Kids are KILLED almost every month because they are PERCEIVED to be gay, whether they are or not. Yes, the stereotype is false - but millions of bigots think it is true. One critic of this ad was Judy Sheperd - whose son was brutally beated, tied to a fence and left for days until he died - because his attackers perceived him to be gay. I find this ad offensive.

  • well your contradicting yourself really and so is anyone who finds this offensive... your the ones who are actually implying the speedwalker is gay.. not anyone else =s

  • exactly what point of this did you find offensive? i think mr t was shooting at him not because he looks gay, but because he looks stupid speedwalking. its people like you that will take fun out of everything. and the worst part of it is if one of you start kicking and screaming about something you see or read the media watchdogs would gladly bend over backwards just to shut you up.

  • i suppose we actually get to play the racist card for once seein as he says cracker but tbh the word cracker offends me as much as a hug

  • He was walking in a manner which could be construed as "gay". But T didn't say anything that was even remotely offensive to homosexuals. He's simply saying, as the song says, "walk like a man".

    I know I don't power walk.

  • shouldnt of been banned no affence just to eat snickers

  • y is this offensive i dnt get y it was band

  • its hilarious, all these adverts are. spesh the toe sipper one, :L

  • It's all because of this "Human Rights" chariot these people are riding. Let's point at this and say we're offended by it. Let's point at that and say it's racist/homophobic/anti-religio­us. It's all wrong.

  • fucking americans banned this advert, gay ones at that, how is that "homophobic"? I think they were just looking for something to complain about

  • i was watching the news and they say its banned because he says "get some nuts" and speedwalker is acting kinda gay so yeah.......

  • wtf does this have to do with gays?

    is there some kind of offical "gay walk" that specifically identifies gays that they cant help?

    getting mad over this is stupid. its just a guy walking with a swagger.

    its people choosing to stereotype themselves that get pissed at this.

    what about people with big butts? they should be offended too.

  • This advert is great, nothing about this is offensive. Anyone who sees the speed walker as gay is stereotyping which therefore is the real offense.

    Anyway, I love this advert. All the Mr T adverts are great.

    SNICKERS, GET SOME NUTS!!

  • How is this offensive??? I bloody ingenuse. Why do human rights groups have to be so narrow minded????

  • Gotta love Kirby!

  • this is not all about gays its just a funny commercial for snickers..........

    SNICKERS GET SOME NUTS!!!!!!!! LOL!

  • It kind of sucks that people think that the few people who complain represent a large (and diverse) group. A lot of gay people aren't so easily offended and I'd imagine get just as sick of the ott reactions to nothing as everyone else. It got like 2 complaints over here (UK) and the ASA said it was fine.

    So it wasn't banned, it was pulled by the company (just like the mayo advert) who don't want to risk alienating customers. Funny ad, not as good as the pool one though.

  • Gay ppl like nuts. Whats wrong with snickers?

  • only gay ppl care about shit like dis real guys dont giv a shi bout out

  • im gay, and i couldn't care less about this. in fact i think its jokes. so shup

  • ahahahahahaha

  • hah.

    how can this be offensive?

    are they saying that only gay people speedwalk? what a joke.

    i just think its a funny ad.

    and also

    what are they saying?

    straight people can have fun poked at them but homosexuals cant?

    its ridiculous tbh

  • gay is not mentioned at all only the yellow shorts and his waggeling bum indicate that, but no it shouldnt be banned

  • Only gay people would find things like this offensive.

    I guess being gay makes you oversensitive. I've never seen straight people complain when made fun off.

  • Best commercial I've seen in sometime.

    "Get some nuts"....fool

  • not offensive at all, people are taking it the wrong way, speedwalking isnt really manly is it, all Mr T is doing is having a giggle over it, running is more manly than speedwalking nothing to do with him being gay theres no indication of that in this ad

  • lol if someone started firing snickers at me i wouldnt run id start shovelling em in my pockets and trying to catch em

  • This is hysterical! I imagine the point is get a snickers down you and go running! Not bloody speed walking! Offensive to gays? HaHa! The world has gone mad!

  • i pity the fools who banned this advert!

  • They're the ones being fucking stereotypical.

    Who the fuck said that was directed towards gay people? Stupid fucking assholes... blah blah blah

  • im gay and i dont find it offensive. just because a few(lot of) gay people in europe decided to be stupid doesnt mean we all are.

  • i was talking about the people who banned this not all gay people.

  • Big respect to Mr T for setting the record straight on US tv - eventhough he didn't have to. Others might have gotten defensive and been stupid about it but Mr T was brill.

  • NUDEBOY92.... do you find this offensive?

    tbh

    I find your NAME offensive!.. I think it's rude

    and I don't like it

    For god sake it's a advert man, it's an advert

    It lasts about 30 seconds. stop taking things so seriously

    and stop crying over a poxy ADVERT

    Damnnnnnn boy lol

  • not even offensive@_@ I think...

  • this is one of the funniest commericals, banning it was sooooooooo stupid why why why are gay activist so anal

  • WoW! It didn't mention gay people at all! What the video was really doing is poking fun at what men are 'supposed' to be in an old world society circa the 1950s, the pinnacle of old world manliness.

  • How the spaceship is this offensive to gays? Nobody said the queer looking runner was a gay and it wasn't implied - the gays are claiming him as a gay simply by the way he looks which is them stereotyping themselves.

    BBC need to grow some nuts.

  • lol i seriously see your point. im gay, and i dont find this offensive at all (and trust me i find a lot of things offensive) but not this. im kinda sad it didnt reach america.

    i (obviously) believe in gay rights but some people take this way to far. its really only offensive to... well power walkers... and maybe feminine guys? not really... just power walkers.

  • Why have the BBC got to grow some "Nuts"? They would never show any commercial, it's a publically paid for channel!

  • The BBC are known for censoring unnecessarily, and there are adverts inbetween programs that this could have been shown during.

  • Once again, the BBC do not have adverts between programs. It's the only channel in the World that does not have advertising. Are you even in the UK? if not then take my word for it.

  • it shouldnt be banned it only offends gay people who cares about gay people

  • :P asswipe. im gay and i dont find it offensive. but seriously, your thinking is fucked up.

  • @SolarSailors dont come and bum rape me :)

  • I'm gay and I LOL'ed

  • Your gay and i lol'ed too

  • hiauhauiah

    Get some nuts...

    Genius

  • ...

    This was about as offensive as handing someone a free candy bar.

    xD

  • I'm gay and I also find it offensive that is was banned

  • im gay 2 and i liked it. you find it offensive that it was banned XD lol

  • I find it offensive because they think just cuz the guy runs like a weak retard, it means he's gay. That's stereotyping man! That guy could be straight but nooo "It might be offensive to gay people" bull sh*t.

  • your comment is confusing but lemme see if i got htis right

    nudeboy is offended that it was removed because gay people stereotyped themselves in the process, yes?

    i like the commercial and find nothing in its content offensive to me, and mr. T is really funny. im gay, and i dont power walk, so i dont see how it could offend me. maybe gay power walkers. lol

  • No, it is a stereotype that male power walkers are gay, which is not true, speed walking looks stupid, in my opinion :p I like the commercial too, and Mr.T is totally kick ass awesome :D It's offensive to know that it was removed because people thought the guy was gay just because he power walks.

  • yeah but the people who had it removed would be homosexual, otherwise no one would care enough to remove it. from what i gathered to many homosexuals in europe complained about it so it was taken down before it even hit the US. so in reality the gay people went ahead and stereotyped themselves.

  • That is true, but not all homosexuals chose to stereotype themselves. Only the silly ones >_> lol

  • The PC patrol must be responsible for the lack of originality in most ads, I think being safe and funny are 2 contradictory terms nowadays. If there's even a hint of racism, homophobia, abuse, etc... it seems as though the ad is pulled

  • this was by far the best commerical ever made. Too bad the extremist gay lobbiests had to get their buttplugs in a bunch and demand it pulled off the air. Maybe we can complain about some of their garbage on TV to balance it out.

  • All I saw was a guy speedwalking... Nothing about sexual orientation.

  • in from the Uk and they shoodnt ban it coz Mr T is always right!

  • it can be misconstrued as homophobic i guess.

  • oh yeh one more thing why didn't the ask gay people if they found it offensive? i find it offencive that that people i don't like are incharge of what i whatch when i pay money to get a T.v. we should all rise against these people so what if 1 person gets offended? what about the extra million? If mankind it classed as a team i swear theres no I in Team? but there is a T so put this Advert on air!!!!

  • in america anything is possible, yeh some group of un employed tossers just want to make t.v their ways... heres a thought... see that remote? see those lovely digits? well you pay t.v license for the extra 4 chennels you know (40 with freeview) hows about changing the channel? it shows that these people love to pick on adverts it proves that they are the type that don't change the channel or leave the room when the show is on a break.

  • What I find offensive, is the critics' and complainers' assumption that speedwalking is gay!

    "Run like a man!" just expresses the view that running is speedwalking done properly, the real hard core!

    Geez, all those PC fascists....

  • so fricken funny what gay morons would ba this

  • Hilarious!!! Shame that people with no sense of humour have to ruin it for the rest of us.

  • Only in America, pfffff

  • yea thats pretty gay. idk y that would ever be used as a candy bar commercial. thats just retarded

  • There's nothing Homophobic about this commerical it was funny...an Mr. T is a 80's icon..this was funny.......

  • Speedwalking doesn't automatically mean you're gay. Hasn't anyone ever watched Malcom in the Middle? I guess Mr. T put it over the top cuz he's as hetero as they get. Maybe if it was a woman or something, like Wonderwoman with the machine gun, it would have been less offensive to gay people. I don't know. It's not funny anyways. Snickers is what health-concious people should eat during a workout? o.O I don't get it.

  • Its not offensive but the innuendo is there.

  • I'm from the UK and I find this hilarious!! :D

  • im from uk aswell and i cant belive they band it fuckin gays

  • wtf? i thought this ad was funny as shit and think its dumb that it's banned. and im gay. stop generalizing, stupid prick.

  • Ahh yes also....this isnt set in england..... as u can tell from the houses and pavement (side walk)

  • lol i notice how people are getting angry about British people just by watching this advert....perhaps that why it was banned, to stop a full scale world war against england lol

  • WTF???!?! this is in NO WAY homophobic...the people who implied it is are homophobic!!!

  • hell this shit is funny,mr t speed walks himself

  • Thats not ofensive to me

  • it ain't offending me...

  • I'm gay and I don't find this offensive in the slightest.

  • this aint offence

  • it wasn't band 'cos its offensive it was band because some amercian governing body decided that the advert was homophobic over looking the slightly racist matter of a big black man with lots of bling doing a drive by... whats the world coming to??

  • one more thing the americian speed walking team filed a complaint about the U.S human rights lobby for calling them gay but to file that complaint the had to send it to the U.S human rights lobby...

  • you got the from the radio.

  • Take That Speedwakler :L

  • Wooooo, i now want a snickers!!!!!

    You a discrace to the man race, its time you run like a real man!!

    This is only offencive to gays, so its ok!!

    SNICKERS ROCK!!!

  • Well the only place this was banned at was in the UK. That's not really saying much from the land of Pompousness, Laziness and bad teeth.

    If you were offended by this, then you neet to get a life, and GET SOME NUTZ!

  • Fuck you the uk does not have bad teeth. we are not lazy and look at the state of the teeth of rednecks or whatever theyre called.

  • Bullshit. Almost every brit i ever met has bad teeth, and as for lazyiness? You guys take 50 fuckin tea breaks every day! And you guys ARE pompous! You guys always think your better than everyone else. America Cut your asses twice, so get over it.

  • i dont fucking think so shit for brains. americans. anyway i dont care about some self important dickweed with an over inflated ego that clings to stereotypes in order to insult people. you think you own the fucking world. lol you could not be more wrong

  • hahaha oh really? We don't own the world, just the best parts. See? We learned from your mistakes. That's why Brittan no longer rules the waves. If it wasn't for us, you Limeys would be Speaking Deutch right now, so dont forget it. And, your welcome. Thats the problem with you Euro's. Dont appreciate anything anyone does for ya. Maybe the next war, when your gettin your buts kicked, maybe we'll sit it out and watch from the sidelines. You know how we Americans love that Arm Chair Quarterbackin.

  • ahh yess we all love a lecture. shup the fuck up you prick and go and play your helicopter games

  • Some of you ungrateful dickheads need a lecture, and apparently a history lesson too. Just what the hell do they teach you guys in school over there anyway? How to sip your tea? How to be an arrogant ass with a smile? How to curl your finger when you wipe your ass?

    Gee i expected more...

  • i think you need to know that without britain there would be no america. just some red indians running around livin in tents.

  • Of course! your our Big (Little) Brother and we're your Little (Big) brother. And we have the right to pick on each other once in a while, because we are both far from perfect. There's always going to be Sibling rivalry, the point is to not let it go beyond just pickin on each other. I don't hold any ill tword you guy, Or england, for that matter. I'm just joshin with ya. I didnt realize you were such a touchy person. Hell, I'd say Fuck the Queen, but you cant even get near her. hahaha

  • yep sibling rivalry but no need to be a lecturer or be so agressive.

  • I thought it was Cynicism but ok.

  • fine

  • And as for kickin your asses twice, we kicked your asses in the Revolutionary war. Wasn't until 1783 when you bastards finnaly recognized we were a nation, then you tried to stabb us in the back with New Orleans in 1812. You didnt hold it very long when Colonel Jackson got down there and kicked your asses out. Then you went and got in over your heads Twice last century, yeah, Jim Dandy to the Rescue. And if you cant laugh at your own countries Short falls, you really are Pompous.

  • lol this would happen in real life tho the british man would get up jump on the tank and start bootin fuck out of mr t's head

  • hey dick shit we saved your arce in ww2 n were doin agen now n just so you no ur realy english peaple with diffrent acsents we moved indans off ur land and we regret coz we put you diks there

  • I'm Irish, Dickhead. See how much you know? My peeps been oppressed by your Limey bastards for Century's. America gave us our freedom, and we repaid them 10 fold. Sure they knocked us around in the beginning some, But we sure helped em Hand you Brits YOUR ass.

  • the guys not even gay. not at all offensive.

  • Censorship is offensive

  • lmao im gay and i just find this funny lol

  • thats not offensive at all haha its just light banter

  • "Isn't it kind'a weird that explicit descriptions of gay sex (wilder than any porno movie coud ever show it) almost always coms from homophobic (self-proclaimed) heterosexuals? Craig, Limbaugh, Hoover...hint!?"

    Hypocrites have been exposed throughout History. They tend to condemn those they envy. They punish people for actions they themselves have committed (and enjoyed committing). Whenever someone wants to outlaw something, it's almost always something they themselves like a whole lot.

  • people normally find this offencive bcoz mr t was saying he was running like a girl making him gay, lol but i think this is just really FUNNY! I AGREE WITH MR T!

  • I find that mans walking offensive. I don't want to see those close ups while i'm eating my breakfast

  • im sorry, but speedwalking is a panzi move, he deserved the snickers thrown at him

  • soooo not offencive. its comedy, its ment to be laughed at.

  • FUCK YEAH

  • classic!! hahahahahahahahaha. why the fuss????

    "take that speeeeeedwalka!!" hahahaha

  • explain to me how that dude "speed walking" in any way represented a homosexual that was just straight up good comedy and u just wasted a bunch of snickers money making that commercial so all u homosexuals out there that whined about that should pay them back

  • mr T needs the work i pity the homo

  • if there really is anything to be offended about then it is the stereotype that black people cause drive by shootings. lol that was a very funny ad. and it is a pity that it was taken off air. ps. the man doesn't look gay, just funny
