yorkie tv ad

[Franny6677]

did it say milk chocolate prick?



[sw3210]

its a parody. its a chocolate bar ad, build a bridge and get over it guys...i still laugh at this

[heavypizza]

@sw3210 do you know what parody means?

[Greenstead]

The Yorkie actor who killed his wife is Stuart Mungall. Martin Fisk is gay so he would not have a wife anyway.

[AAyyRR]

The actor in this advert is actually called Martin Fisk, it is not Stuart Mungall. I knew his name when the adverts first came out. He worked for Rowntree MacKintosh as a truck driver.

[AAyyRR]

@leezaal You have accused an innocent man of killing his wife!!

[Cryten1974]

@leezaal you did accuse an innocent man, this may be a yorkie advert and it may have a lorry driver in it, but it is NOT the advert with the man who was accused of killing his wife, that one is a totally different yorkie advert. I made the same mistake on here a few minutes ago

[iamlono1001]

Yorkie's the shit? @ 0:26

[whitbyjet65]

He sings 'God rich and thick, a milk chocolate prick' @ 0:23

[Cryten1974]

@whitbyjet65 lmao, would be funny if he did sing that, but it's actually "Good rich and thick, a milk chocolate BRICK" not PRICK

[timbearcub]

did he just sing 'chocolate prick' and 'the shit with chocolate on' or is that just my ears?

[zarynkristel]

Ahh-now them were the days: When men were REAL men!lol! x

[Bunty1962]

What's long hard, only one ball and fecks prostitutes............Peter Sutcliffes hammer

[RockAndRollMassacre]

he should keep his eyes on the road he might kill someone

[LoveYoshiClan]

What's funny about the top comments at the moment, is that he actually did kill his wife in reality

[AAyyRR]

@LoveYoshiClan Martin Fisk is no wife killer, you have got the wrong actor!!

[SuperLightHorse]

This advert makes me want to kill wife.

[MrGlimah]

@SuperLightHorse Hahaha

[merseymained]

@NickiDo1- is this not the 'original' Yorkie advert?? Is the trucker not Stuart Mungall??

[NickiDo1]

yep wrong guy...and there are more facts to the case- don't fancy Picks disease myself..

[tornadowilkes]

Sorry wrong guy, See the other vid

[aafaq1]

This guy has just been convicted of killing his wife as she was terminally ill!

[Xcon0]

did he say "yorkie is the shit?"

[trainsify]

I Sit Corrected. The Tractor Trailer Rig In The Add Is A DAF 2800. Licensed MGH868P.

[trainsify]

The Tractor Trailer Rig In The Ad Is A Daf. Most Probably A 3300.

[kickinbackinOC]

Is that supossed to be "American flavor" music? A limited perception of our culture, shallow though it is. It's similar to when Americans think Brits hang around the Tower Of London, wearing Beefeater hats, and eating scones. A one-size fits all stereotype of one anothers' culture.

[OldSchoolRasslin]

Women are legally banned from buying Yorkies.

[darkdubh]

Seeing this ad makes me feel old,i can remember it well though i must have been about 4 when it came out,i'm 37.

[gaspingduck]

0:27 YORKIE'S THE SHIT!!!

[lookingintothepast]

Is it me or does he look like a young Kenneth Noye of Brinks Mat fame

[AYTAZED]

Wonder if Peter Sutcliffe had one?

[Penko83]

I've pounded the ho's, from coast to coast...

[rednotdead1976]

Wow- a considerate lorry driver actually letting faster moving vehicles past- only in adverts!

[LocoComoDelToro]

The curse of the lorry driver returns...

[ebeneezzer]

I'm eating one now as we speak. Have'nt bumped off any prozzies today though

[unclemort1960]

i used to work with a group of lorry drivers one bloke who was very un-popular had a crash `he turned the corner and all the yorkie bars slid of the dash`someone remarked.

[cottonwhiskersuk]

I am appalled by all these Peter Sutcliffe gags!

[TomthatiscalledTom]

This ad helped get males 'into' choccolate but associating it with good, solid, heterosexual boy stuff: trucks, leather jackets, forklifts, cuties in sports cars. Up til the late 1970s men only bought the stuff to give to women as a present. Actually eating it yourself might have looked a bit too Larry Grayson/Mr Humphries

[ml2001]

I recommend the music to be this:

The Truck Driver and his mate.

[madeljacky]

I might be wrong here but the truck looks like a DAF 2800. Its that long since i seen a 2800 i cant be sure that this is one.

[marshalllucky]

my aunt is very sick

[rainxxxx]

see how he looks at his yorkie like a perve!

[rabbithog]

pathetic

[zarynkristel]

A 'Milk Chocolate Brick' always tastes great even though I'm a female!lol! x

[IrgendwieWieWirWolln]

does somebody know the website of this bar ?

[robuk1981]

Peanut Yorkie i miss thee

[wickerman71]

Why does he break a peice off then bite a chunk off the end with the side of his mouth, no one eats like that unless they've had their teeth smashed in. The way he smiles at that girl is fucking sinister.

[stormmine]

@wickerman71

He's a truck driver, ergo he murders women. And you're right - he eats like he is retarded.

[mrspivvy]

That's a DAF 2800. one of the better '70s motors, good for 75-80 mph although they would throw a leg out of bed when tired

[gaelicscots]

The guy in this advert has raped and killed at least 6 prostitutes on his travels.

[kingdaniel69]

6?  Amateur!

[mrspivvy]

as long as he dumps them in a layby neatly in a rolled up carpet, and has a 45 minute break every 2 murders, he's not breaking union regs

[TheTokenBrit86]

LOL! And during that 45 minute break has a Yorkie!

[m648mvp]

@gaelicscots another comment from someone that isnt in teh industy!

[Parrock1]

@gaelicscots no, he just smothered his wife instead. Jailed.

[Cryten1974]

@gaelicscots you may have posted that as a bit of a joke, but the actor has just been cleared of killing his terminally ill wife

[AAyyRR]

@Cryten1974 Martin Fisk is in this advert, Stuart Mungall was in the news, like leezal, you have just accused someone of killing someone, who didn't kill anyone! Stuarts advert didn't appear until around 1984 ('B' registration yellow Scammell on a little red and white ferry in Stuart's advert, issued from August 1st, 1984 until July 31st, 1985) This advert pre-dates Stuart's by at least 7 years! (The old 'P' suffix is on the registration plate, issued August 1st, 1975 until July 31st, 1976).

[Cryten1974]

@AAyyRR and if you read one of my other comments on this video you would have noted that I had realised my mistake, I just forgot to remove my first comment, Oh and get a life, the fact that you know or even bothered to look up the registration plate years means you need to get out more

[gluepot66]

that was when yorkis were nice, when nestles bought them out they changed the recipe slightly not thet tast like shit. but can still remember the original yorki taste i used to love them. dam nestles dam the bastards lol

[Greenstead]

The actor who appears in this advert is gay. Yes he really is.

[andeemart]

And your point is?

[Greenstead]

@andeemart he is not all macho in real life like the tough lorry driver he is playing.

[Prestonukbenny]

i had a tour around Nestle York  the reason its called Yorkie

because it made in york Yorkshire way before nestle bought them out

[christopher2008x]

nestle make it now. and apart from kitkat its the only chocolate bar i eat regularly ate 2 so far today lol.

[wildenfree]

Im afraid Snickers King Size do it for me..500 calories a bar..oh dear.

[walt138]

they should re-do and bring this add back it was always good when it came on and would light up anybodys lounge...

[tshirtheaven]

Torkie Bar was sung by Nick Curtis

[j0andc0]

I know this Yorkie guy, his name is Martin Fisk an actor mainly from the 70s, his biggest part was in the TV series Poldark, played a charactor called Mark Daniel.

[p4rtn3r]

Any body know who sang the song. my mum's got the record here somewhere but if anyone can tell me to save us turning the house upside down to find it please let me know.

[p4rtn3r]

It's ok I know who sang it.

The Song is by Cirrus It's called Rollin On. Only available on a 45 rpm vinyl

[BukerG]

@p4rtn3r

Had a copy on chocolate coloured rectangular vinyl back in the day!

[p4rtn3r]

@BukerG My mum has still got the original chocolate rectangle shaped vinyl record here and it still plays great i've also copied it to my computer i will post it on here someday

[p4rtn3r]

@BukerG Just uploaded the original song.

[funbobby1000]

probably looks like you seing your a big butch man.

[weedgieburd]

hahaha you should know eh you love big butch men ....and kids.

[weedgieburd]

this advert reminds me of my trucker friend,thankfully he looks nothing like this guy ...:P

[freshdamon]

that guy looks like a murderer or rapist, like from no country for old men style

[stoffershorty]

Some interesting info for you from 1980: Rowntree Mackintosh's top lorry driver had been disqualified by the company -- for attracting too much attention on TV. Mr Martin Fisk, from Heathfield, Sussex, was the lorry-driver star of the first Yorkie TV adverts. But his good looks provoked such a flow of fan mail including offers of marriage that he just had to go. A spokesman for Rowntree Mackintosh explained: "It was felt that the personality was becoming stronger than the product."

[michendo]

Putting a bar of chocolate in your top pocket is a prelude to a very messy shirt. His wife will not be happy.

[yumyumdaisymoo]

i know! like does he have no feelings

[urbanstroller]

"Feelings"?! Of Course not he's a 70's man! Feelings were for Nancy's!

[yumyumdaisymoo]

i was replying to another persons comment

[rainsup]

Does anyone know the name of this actor?

[grumpynoj]

Martin Fisk

[mcan4287]

Erm, at 0:28, don't they sing, "Yorkie's the sh*t"? As in, "Yorkie's dead good"? How did they get away with that?

[gsangster]

I think it's "Yorkie is the shape that real milk chocolate ought to be." In those days many chocolate bars were rather thin. But which bridge is it? I'll go for Humber, given the product name and the advert date. Is the peanut option a bit of an afterthought, crammed into the last second?

[mcan4287]

A friend of mine lives in Ipswich, and he says it's definitely the bridge just outside the town.

[stoffershorty]

The Humber bridge wasn't built back then was it? As I remember it wasn't opened until 1981 so before then you had to go by Goole but alas, I digress! Great chocolate bar.

[gsangster]

Yes, the advert pre-dates the Humber Bridge opening. I just made a Yorkie - Yorkshire connection. And it's not the Orwell Bridge either, as suggested below, but the Severn Bridge.

[AppreciatePerfection]

lol...I swore i heard it say that

[cak556]

Yep - This is basically what made Britain great, and then lead on to Britain becoming obese. Can't fault the cinematography though.

[adwan]

there's something slightly Anton Chigurh about the lorry driver.

[TheMasterNo6]

John Shrapnel did the voice over at the end of the ad. He's the late Grace Kellys son in law. I bet this guy ate his Yorkie then murdered a few hundred prostitutes lol....Perhaps this is where Clarkson got his inspiration for that joke...? Yorkies taste like SHIT now....sadly.

[goodbyetoulouse77]

Anyone remember `truckers` tv series in the 1990`s?? Peter Picard, picard freighthaul any idea what tv company or station recorded it, anyone got a copy???

[harleysmurf666]

Coast to coast isn't quite so tricky when you are only going to south Wales. The M4 will never be route 66,nice try tho. Bet the old DAF went about 75! Don't build em like they used to!

[palmercomm]

Yorkie.... If you drive a truck, you deserve one.

[cjp0349]

Anybody noticed he gets a bollockin off his boss at the end for being late ?? bet they all went on strike after...good old 70s

[RiojaRebel]

Not a Leyland. It's a DAF.

[PBLEY]

The driver was later involved in the Winter of Discontent, blockading petrol stations and supermarkets.

[palmercomm]

I thought he was an actor.

[fodsaks]

That's a Leyland rig isn't it?

How come it's not broken down?

[Noonday100]

Ah yes, the '70s - those were the days! Eating Yorkie bars, driving lorries...and bashing prostitutes' heads in with a hammer.

[goodbyetoulouse77]

Classic lol

[gorn779757]

@Noonday100 lol....

[iansithlord]

iv'e shit logs out bigger yorkie.fuck you

[Penko83]

"Yorkie's the shit, that real milk chocolate ought to be"

[Dange896294]

dosen't taste the same since Rowntrees packed in,

[rorrt]

i always love a good YORKIE, and reading The Sun newspaper on a friday, i feel like a REAL MAN!!!

[samtranz1]

my first artic truck i got banned for six weeks speeding on the old a1 heading north working for David Mcune of Newton Aycliffe County Durham

[dailydogs]

LMFAO

I used to play darts with Martin (the lorry driver in advert) Hes a top bloke and they sacked him cos he was getting too much fan mail!!

He was an actual lorry driver for rowntrees and they elbowed him as he was getting too well known.

Tossers!!

Ello MF if you read this!

[sumerzet]

a 2800 daf!!!dreams were made of these!in the day when truckers were truckers and not full of sh*t aggencey workers like today,pity we cant go back to these days!!

[Clugmuffer]

It looks like Javier Bardem from No Country For Old Men. Have a Yorkie, friendo.

[vobyrne]

very witty

[PrinceBaby]

good, rich and think, a milk chocolate prick? thank god they've cleaned this country up since the dirty 70s.

[chapsta987]

jealous cuz u wernt in there .. and its good rich and thick .. not think

[PrinceBaby]

it's "because", "weren't" and "it's", not "cuz", "wernt" and "its". i'd rather be a chocolate penis fan who can use the english language than a pedant who gets wound up by knob gags and typos.

[chapsta987]

WTF???

it is called slang.

[ThisYearsGuy01]

Is it not "Good, rich and thick, a milk chocolate brick"? Because I doubt it would be "prick" as that's a heinous slang word for penis.

Anyhoo, I love this ad! That guy is soooo gorgeous. He is so warm and loving looking. :D I like the song, too.

[Bridgejones08]

yes remember it well.

[steveo1622]

He'd get a fucking ticket nowadays for eating at the wheel!!This country!!!!

[yuutuubu]

Did I mishear? "Yorkie's the shit... that real milk chocolate ought to be..."

Yorkie may be awesome, but I wouldn't use the phrase to describe a chocolate bar.

[DubbingU92]

Wow you're right! "Yorkie's the shit" rofl

[onekidgoes]

Actually it's "Yorkie's the shape..." Because of it's chunkiness.

[cosmicroy]

I remember the b'stard bar I bit into years ago it took out my front tooth !

[bommaz]

bring back the peanut Yorkie...

[chapsta987]

any1 think he looks like Neil Morrissey??

[sweat2dream]

mmmmmmm yorkieeee

[gaaraslover100]

hmmmm.... was this made in the 1970s =P

[Scania143ab]

Super, Good truck, good advert, Brilliant

[Johindes]

Excellent advert, my fave ever. Thank you for this,, been in love him since I was 7 lol
