[ThiamandoDando]

Thumbs up if last year's Gruen Transfer brought you here. Polished Turd all the way!!

[gemkilt]

Where r these kids now? r they on facebook?

[FelixFelisis]

One on the BOOB?? Or should I say, "the bewb".

[CantSeeTheStars]

@FelixFelisis bib

[undesiredvalentine]

...The fuck was that?! 

[spectrelives]

No quicker way to convert people to atheism than this ad.

[Jemma2614]

What the hell are they advertising???

[Murder0redruM]

that black chick is over 18 now right? giggity..

[bongo155]

Why is the girl at 0:14 doing pussy fingers?

[soutarm]

OK, now I'm 100% sure EVERY VIDEO EVER is on YouTube... I remember this ad when it was on the TV.

[TheHitMonkey]

ok... that girl is NOT singing...

[thesnowinscotland85]

i remember this ad. i bet the kids from this ad are all child molesters in your nearest church right this day!

[thewamvan]

save me jebus!!!

lol thats bad

[lucindathestrange]

...what exactly is this ad for?

xD

[deathtochristianity]

I flagged it as inappropriate, 'nuff said.

I hope those who approved that fucking ad are all dead as a result of awesome torture!!

[hamburgercar1998]

where's the regular place?!

[hamburgercar1998]

Thanks Gruen Transfer. :P

[Jackzdabomb]

Shhhhhhh... I got a mouse!

[MrTheD13]

I've got three pockets in my overalls

Got one one the front, one on the back, and one in the ordinary-everyday-regular place, on the bib.

In the one on the right on the back, got a prayer for my uncle jack,

well he's so special i asked God to let the hair on his head, grow back.

In the one on the front on the right, I've got a pocket full of love and a kite,

the love is for God, the kite is mine, and I think Im going to fly it, when its fine.

In the one on the bib - shh! Ive got a mouse

[30PAGES]

thumbs up if gruen transfer got you here

[silowhore]

@30PAGES lol i don't even know what the gruen transfer is??? i just used to see this on telly in my teens and decided to search it

[chinaD22]

this is why you dont take drugs kids lol SHH! i got a mouse ROFL

[GODMONSTERRARGH]

I'm sorry, i think I've missed something. How many pockets does she have in her overalls?

[felixunger1971]

So catchy! Thanks Gruen Transfer for bringing this back to our attention! How do I get it on my iPod?!

[mycatcharlie2]

0:14 0:34 0:51 HILLARIOUS

[sam212ify]

then the prayer was answered and god said "let there be advnaced hair studios!" and uncle jack got his hair back...

the system works, praise jebus!

[bongo155]

I'd totally forgotten about this abomination until I saw it mentioned on the Gruen Transfer a few weeks ago. Damn you, Will Anderson, for making me remember this monstrosity.

[craigdy]

i want this fucked song out of my head, fuck u kid,

[Salvatortoise]

I hated that fukn ad when I was a kid. Watching it again I have come to realise that I still hate it.

[jaamesin]

I believe this ad was shown everywhere, as I'm sure I saw it outside of Tassie.

Just saw it on Gruen Transfer as one of the worst ads of all time. I'd forgotten what the ad was actually for! I wonder if the singer went on to bigger and better things?

[SirCrapsAlotTheThird]

Oh no. Three pockets? Whatever shall we do?

[dankru]

Possibly the most confusing ad I have ever seen

[Robbe1984]

Am I the only one finding this commercial disturbing, a little girl sings about fron and back pockets and she end the freaking song with "I've got a mouse" what the hell is that supposed to mean, don't get it

[marybviewin]

i've watched this dozens of times in the past few days and i swear it's just so bad that it just makes my whole heart swell with joy. i about peed my pants the first time i watched it. nothing like the combination of terrible Christian song writing, children targeted audiences and 80's TV to make the whole world smile.

[cletusbigtoe]

can someone tell me what 3 pockets overalls have got to do with god.....just don't get these weird fuckers

[grmc949]

Was this ad shown just in Tassie or all over Aus?

[davidandjesse]

@grmc949

First Tassie. But I've seen it in real Australia once or twice now.

[age991]

kids face at 0:51 priceless!

[grmc949]

director to boy: look surprised! MORE! Ok now stop.

[Salvatortoise]

@grmc949

LMAO!!

[icekat83]

LOL. This was on the Gruen Transfer Last week. I can't believe it's a real ad...what exactly is it advertising?

[Dodge76]

0:13 to 0:15 wtf is she doing?

[zactron1997]

I can't see how this has anything to do with Christianity. So many questions unanswered.

Like what is she saying

Did uncle jacks hair grow back

Plus I find it odd that you can have endless religious ads but you can't have any against it. Infact the only religious ads down in the pubics if Australia (tasie) I see are christian ads. Even thought there are budists Muslims scientoligests Christians and atheists down here.

[Dodge76]

Fabulous. Brings back so many memories

[simodalcais]

"I've got three holes in my blow up doll " ... :P

[sparkylee16]

@simodalcais "one on the front, one on the back and one in the ordinary everyday regular place ... on her face" :D

[simodalcais]

@sparkylee16 That's exactly how we sing it at work lol

[davidandjesse]

@simodalcais

ha

[Stephie2007]

*prays for this annoying song to be over* Male pattern baldness?? LOL!

[sandwichsteen]

I'VE GOT A MOUSE!!

[f1fan1982]

Is it true she committed suicide? If true it is so sad.

[adrianethan]

I've got 3 pockets on my overalls, I've got 3 pockets on my overalls

Got 1 on the front, 1 on the back and 1 in the ordinary, everyday, regular place. on the bib

In the 1 on right on the back, got a prayer for my Uncle Jack

He's so special I asked God to let the hair on his head, grow back

3 3 3 3 3 3 3

[adrianethan]

I've got 3 pockets on my overalls, I've got 3 pockets on my overalls

Got 1 on the front 1 on the back and 1 in the ordinary everyday regular place, on the bib

In the 1 on the front on the right, got a pocket for the love and the kite

The love is for God and the kite is mine and I think I'm gonna fly it, when it's fine

In the 1 on the bib. in the 1 on the bib, in the 1 on the bib shhhhhhhhhhhhh

I've got a mouse

[giggabyt78]

who was the girl sing where is she now

[roatkins]

I never realised it was a christian ad

[davidandjesse]

@roatkins

ha ha. Me either!

[Muntman]

Lyrics:

I’ve got three pockets in my overalls

I’ve got three pockets in my overalls

I’ve got three pockets in my overalls

There’s one on the back

One on the front

And one on the ordinary-everyday-regular-plac­e, on the bib

[tcpnetworks]

This advert, along with "tasmanian carpet cleaning", the "There are sound systems, sound systems, and sound systems, but only one Quantum" ads and ALL chicken feed ads are my Tasmanian memories.....

[danbrannan]

hell funny....

[Sheibub]

Thanks Gruen Transfer for reminding me about this ad. I used to sing a long to this when I was a kid and I always wanted a pair of overalls too....Sad really...even sadder is me remembering the words to it tonight after how many years??? :D

[Muntman]

It is like the song that never ends... but it sucks the life out of your soul.

[0433924732]

For the love of god please stop it. And keep watching Gruen.

[gavlaing]

0:50 - 0:53 = over excited kid

[PLAYB0YBUNNYGIRL]

OMG !! i remember this from when i was little.. but i never knew it was for the christian Television association!!! i thought it was for the overalls!!

[LeetTreet]

And the Tassie memories flood back. Thanks, nyc55david09.

[Ansett76]

"Hi God it's me!" said the annoying snotty singing girl with the over exaggerated pony tail.

"Awwww fuck me drunk.....pass me the valium...., thge things ya see when you don't have a gun....." said God

[jock10171017]

this chick committed suicide because everyone bagged her up so much about the ad!

[AndrewMarron]

Oh God make it stop! Why! why did you up load this!

[magnose]

head* not hat

[magnose]

I've got three pockets in my overalls, i've got three pockets in my overalls - got one on the front, one on the back and one in the ordinary everyday regular place. On the bib. In the one on the right on the back, got a prayer for my uncle jack; tho he's so special i ask god to let the hair on his hat, flow back.

*repeat*

In the one on the front on the right, got the pockets for the love - there's a kite. If the love is for god, the kite is mine and I think i'm gonna fly it. When it's fine.

[elition]

@magnose : im pretty sure the lyrics are "to let the hair on his head, flow back"

[Kenjineering]

Memories! I still don't understand it!!! I remember thinking, when I was a kid, that the main girl was pretty.

[wheelsfalloff]

I wondered for years what this ad could be about, then it hit me...

A mouse in her front pocket!

The mouse represents a tampon, Its obviously a song about puberty, as only retarded Christians could explain it. :/

Great song though, (please make it stop playing in my head now PLEASE!)

[kong1080]

peteypak - I am with ya - got no clue what she is saying but I i think she ends with:

the kite is mine and I think I'm gonna fly it - when it's fine? The rest is anyone's guess

[Gredran]

so wait, we are praying for our uncle for not being bald, and for a kite... geez church has it wrong!

[daniel1982]

Why i  am 28 and find lead hot?

[Sytadel]

@daniel1982 because you're a mammal, plain and simple. Human? Ah... no, you're a mammal... we belong in the jungle on all fours.

[PeteyPak]

Yet another Taswegian here :-)

Okay, so what are the lyrics from 0:41 to 0:51? I must have seen this a hundred times growing up, and I still have no idea what it's about, or what some of the lyrics are. I have:

"In the one on the front on the right,

[I've] got a pocket [for?] the love [and?] the kite

the love is for god, the kite is mine, and the [little butterfly?], well [it died? It's fine?]"

[Oct195]

Yep, fuck praying for an end to global poverty or disease, Let's pray for an end to male pattern baldness. :D

[davidandjesse]

@Oct195

just fuck praying.

[lesh51]

@Oct195 I think we should all vote for three pockets in everyone's overalls, everyone across the planet.

[Tetzukai]

Where's the atheism ad? I'll certainly enjoy that rather than this crap. LOL

[hedwerkn]

Oh god, this brings back memories... but I'm confused, what do overalls have to do with Jesus? Did he wear overalls? Was he a yokel? I thought he was a carpenter ::confused::

[hedwerkn]

@freshdecay most memorable ad ever!

[lidespinkparty]

@freshdecay OH MY GOD THIS AD WAS MY CHILDHOOD.

[tcpnetworks]

@freshdecay

Aww fuck - I REMEMBER that... The guys thumb... wobble wobble wobble wobble.... That and the chicken feed ads....

What a poor ad. This CTA add - those poor kids must be in their late 20's now - and regretting every day they were involved in these ads.

[dullgreyrock]

What about the Tasmanian Carpet Cleaning ad??

That was my personal fave.

Not that I run the FB fan page and am completely biased or anything.

[Latingirl165]

i heard this girl killed herself because they made fun of her so much over this ad... i hope it isn't true

[deftone02]

love this ad, guy at 0.51 is a classic

[GoThIcCuPcAkE]

Ah memories! Thanks Ben ^_^

[jtsaward]

I also saw this heaps in Tassie.. very late 80's & early to mid 90's. Always wondered what happened to the girl.. i bet she grew into a stunner.. She also had another CTA add but cant recall what it was at the moment.... Dont see any CTA adds here in Melbourne these days.. maybe they should fire them up again..

[Railrodder]

Just curious, what exactly is 'Tassie'? Thanks for sharing this.

[NichtNacht]

Tasmania - nicknamed Tassie.

The little island at the very bottom of Australia.

[Railrodder]

Oh, ok thanks. I'm in Canada. Have a great day!

[Muntman]

@Railrodder What is Tassie? Go ask your girlfriend. I am sure she would be happy to show you. :P

Nah Tassie is the nickname for Tasmania... if those mainlanders actually acknowledge our existance.

[NickoTheGuitarist]

@Muntman Tas...man...ia...? What is this you speak of?

[MrBigfootCock]

This ad just popped in to my head and went looking for it and surprised that it hasnt had more views! I remember this ad in the 80's and then when I was a bit older in the 90's i was thinking that it just shouldnt still be on tv! I am also from tas. in my mid 30's, they must have really plugged it here!!

[sevein2009]

Been looking for this for AGES...where did you find it??? My sisters and I used to watch this in Tassie back in the '80's. We're now in our late 30's but have never forgotten it - sooooo funny!!!
