Robin Hood (sees the weetabix): weetabix? oh er...retreat everyone back to the wood!
Maid Marion: (calls after him) But...you're supposed to help me, oh you just can't get the outlaws these days, where else am I going to find an outlaw on a Friday?
well we were learning about robin hood in history and because it was towards the end of the year, our teacher decided to treat us with this advert plus a few other parodies of robin hood oh and we watched the first few minutes of the Disney film "robin hood".
80s 90s hay day of ads same all we get these days is ads on how girls should become slags with crappy 3rd rate celebrities trying to sell a brand shameful
I loved this ad. I agree that some of the best ads were made in the 80's and 90's. A friend of mine, Lindsay Benson, told me he sang this song for the ad and that it was a real laugh because they messed with the words a lot. Obviously, only the cleaned up version was used.
love it - remembered this from when I was a kid this morning. Most stuff you see get ruined from your childhood memory if you see them again later in life. This just made me smile. Classic
Great stuff. I heard a story on the radio about a bride who asked for "The Robin Hood Song" to be played as she walked down the isle during her wedding and the organ player got confused and played this one when the bride obviously meant the Bryan Adams song. HAHAHAHAHA That really made me laugh.
Thats not the only time it's happened. Michael Kamen, the late composer who co-wrote the Bryan Adams song, was once told that it happened at a wedding reception where the bride and groom were about to take their first dance as a married couple, with a proper orchestra.
Brilliant. They should just play adverts like this and the old toys r us one constantly. Better than most of the actual tv nowadays, never mind the adverts!
Yeah top advert this, I remembered it from when I was younger, it stuck in my mind enough to type it in on youtube, so I guess their advertising worked.
thank you so so so much! this isone of those adverts that you describe to mates who haven't seen it and they look at you like you're several arrows short of the quiver! you are a total legend!
I thought this advert was funny! Do you have the Golden Crown butter ads were the cow swallows the kings phone and the dragon makes toast for the king fiveofseven or does anybody know?
Loved this ad when I was a kid, it was always good for a laugh :)
