P-P-Pick up a Penguin

[Durusial]

Why isn't this sentence funny?

Because it's snow joke!

That's a joke from a penguin bar I'm eating right now...

[TheJboy88]

My school lunchbox was never complete without one of these things.

[madchickbabyxxx]

how the hell did i get from watching how to make a vimto shlush puppie advert to this! Not that I care I have it on repeat but still!

[edbad85]

I know what a penguin bar is and have never heard of a tim tam

[vania1013]

[hamzehrocks100]

Made with REAL penguin meat!

[DrMopZodiac]

What's the difference between these and tim tams

[DrMopZodiac]

wat.

[hotelmario510]

I eat Penguins. They're the only tasty chocolate bar you can still buy in Packets, since Nestle decided making their biscuits taste like shit was the best option. (Seriously, the ones you buy individually are okay, but the smaller versions taste awful.)

[utrapzab]

never used to eat the ones in the red wrappers, god knows why, they were all the same, i didnae trust the red wrappers

[madchickbabyxxx]

@utrapzab OK... now I'm worried cause I find this awsome and not at all strange!

[utrapzab]

@madchickbabyxxx THE GREEN ONES WERE FINE!!!! So too the yellow and blue ones but thhe red ones, nah, id have to choose a minty club instead

[madchickbabyxxx]

@utrapzab LOL.. ok you are strange! I Like it!!

[thehondarebel]

What if the puenguin hates you? It would run away. Now lets watch a fat arse catch that puenguin

[midsaint776]

[AveNullusMajestic]

[digitalbroadcaster]

@UndisclosedDesirable It isn't. The link is alive. Type in chop chop busy busy and it's the first video up on YouTube. I tried it seconds ago.

[lawrmaneebs]

they used to film these adverts in edinburgh as they hired the penguins from the edinburgh zoo.....one advert was filmed at holy cross primary and it featured the penguins being led across the pelican crossing by a lollypop man...another was filmed in the grounds of the murrayfield hospital which was then scotus acadamy and it featured the penguins playing football...it took ages to get a decent shot of a penguin heading the ball....the schools were paid with out of date biscuits which i ate..

[Kzook]

p-p-p pick up a penguin!

[dhunt1978]

[SavingPrivateBob]

@dhunt1978 hahaha fuck that made me laugh lol

[cbx750frider]

Awesome!

i remember this when it was on the telly. in the 70s.Very funny watching it again after all these years,lol

[TheChris117]

Scary! I'm in this commercial - the fair haired kid with a red shirt waving as the penguin rides round on the dodgem cars. It was shot at a funfair in Portobello, Edinburgh in 1974 (I think). Funny thing is I now work in advertising.

[Gulftastic]

Awesome advert for 'Cor!!' Comic on the merry go round.

[casperld]

Ah penguin bars! Reminds me of lunch time at primary school. 4 jam sandwiches, carton of milk and a penguin (or club sometimes). Not a friggin worry in the world....

[naughtytree]

I bet Penguins in those days were the size of bricks

[Yunie06]

OMg look at the packaging compared to now!

x}

[Banno22]

i bet theyr were better bars back in the day than now :(

[premalignant]

I always thought it was Cyril Fletcher doing the voice over (famed for the "odd ode" on Thats Life !). . .

[phillitupp]

I p p p picked up a penguin and it tasted a bit gamy and now i have a stutter

[billybop65]

Thanks for this, remember it well. The penguins were all from Edinburgh Zoo if I remember correctly, and my pals little sister was in one of the ads along with her classmates.

[davidmcn]

This ad's definitely 70s, don't have the exact date to hand but it's from a late 70s tape.

[PiddlePotCharlie]

@ascolti Try british telecom chop chop busy busy, I was shocked to find out it wasn't the penguin ad like I had thought!!

[digitalbroadcaster]

@ascolti Tap in 'British Telecom - Chop Chop Busy Busy - UK Advert' if you are STILL searching, two years later?!!! lol

[runeclaw10]

if your feeling p-p-pecking pick up a p-p-penguin.

[millwallqos]

Bought my first packet of penguins today for twenty years and could not believe how small they were. I would say about 70% in size and weight. Wont buy them again!

[ladystm]

[patrick180271]

Aw,I remember that ad when I was a little boy,in the mid-late 70s!
