Fool for a Father

[tomxxy2000]

Drivers of Audi's BMW's and even Skoda Octavia's take note!!!!!!!!!!

[hamster700]

its hard having a douche for a father

[hamster700]

boor Austin 1100

[hitchhiker38]

why would you scream at a lorry turning right, and why did the lorry turn so hard he lost his unsecured load

[MIKON8ERISBACK]

It's hard having an overly laid back idiot for a mother.

[waveali]

He would have been better off running over the milk

[snickerdoodle66669]

HE'S NOT A FOOL HES AND ASS

[my1987vette]

We had a 68 Austin American I'm the early 80s. Put it on a Datsun PU frame with a Ford 9 inch diff and a 383 Dodge engine. Total death trap but it was a blast.

[Fatoldbear]

Mr Chumney-Warner your a FOOL! Nothing like a stern clipped Brit accent to make one sit up and take notice. I will certainly be driving my Austin Cambridge more carefully. I'm no FOOL lol

[littleniyah]

@Fatoldbear It's really hilarious, isn't it. That exasperated "Keep your Distance!" Just makes you behave like a robot. How could you fail to obey.

[jenzeppelin]

always thought this one was a bit harsh

[animatetime]

Nanny state :)

[hamster700]

dumb trucker never change lanes on a freeway

[spib65]

The bloke turning right was a Burk as well, insecure load just one of the faults.

What a bunch of wally's!

[danglebearing]

Huh, no mention of the fact that it was the drop side truck that caused the whole situation the first place. And just when was the last time anyone saw a drop side loaded with milk churns? Even if he had of kept a distance of half a mile the brakes on that 1100 were shit anyways, he still would have crashed.

[littleniyah]

@danglebearing love the way you know your 70s cars

[TheMKEWERBY]

I'll Say!

[mistofoles]

Were they alright?

[Nintendavin]

How come it's the same car in every one of these commercials? It's always that frikin morris lol.

[peaceman1234567]

Fookin out of date nonense,but of course it was the cheesy 70`s.

[transitcoffin]

out of date yes, but the ruel should still be applied dont drive to close !!!!

[elli1897]

suprised the CV Joints on that 1100 didnt fail at that speed.

[danglebearing]

@elli1897 LOL



[TheBeez500]

An old Bedford truck is still the ideal thing for putting the fear of god into other drivers, and I've never had the dropsides come unlatched yet!

[tinpotintellect]

Don`t cry over spilt milk ,your a fool if you do.

[hofsteveO]

Now, is this just me, or is the father getting a raw deal here?.....

If anything, I'd blame the driver of the dairy truck in front for thinking he's Nikki Lauder......

[radioianj]

Frightening.......so easily happens.

[TheJohnDoran]

I bet the guy who cancelled the family holiday by crashing into a cravendale truck got so much shit from his wife.

[Stereolabdream]

Seems to me that the fool of a lorry driver might just be more to blame here....heheheheh

Great social commentary, this clip, in so many ways...the car, the holiday in Britain, "the wife" comment...the milk in olde worlde containers...

[Molagbal38]

That's terrible!

*sob* A cow worked so hard to produce that milk! *sniff*

[kellogscornsnake]

2 second rule

[soboneidol]

He never mixed the crossplys and radials up did he? Nooooooooooooooooo!!!

[100roberthenry]

i'm glad they crashed and got killed....

bloody pikey's......

[aramanth]

Shoot!! Milk? I thought they were propane tanks!! That would have been more impactful! KaBoom!! There goes the Holiday plans.

[Molagbal38]

Lets see, how about a logging truck or a gasoline truck, yeah, spend the summer vacation in a burn ward. lol

[Kevexation]

Don't cry over spilt milk.

[gthreek]

You BLOODY fool. Look what you've gone and done. Now everyone's going to have to clean that milk.

You FOOL.

[wdielwlairajmd]

Of course, it's always a man driving in these ads. It's the same today.

[DrEMplushrest]

Damn milk, it's fucking dangerous stuff!

[clarky212]

its ok its ok ...there's only plastic dummies in that morris minor phew!

[Pyroman1990]

There wasnt a morris minor in this film :-S

[fitzmorris]

that it easy pyroman!! clarky was in shock!! :-)

[Pyroman1990]

Lol, stupid BMC 1300

[waveali]

"Its hard having a fool for a father" That was hilarious. Thanks for for my morning laugh.

[richardjaxon]

What about the truck driver who lost his load of milk churns 'cause he was going too fast when he turned?!

[steveasat2]

I love the tone of voice. Not so much cautionary as condescending. "Keep your distance! You're a fool if you don't! You know, I don't know why I even bother. You idiots never listen. God, I hate you all so much. I'll be glad when you're dead. And you will be, because you damn fools just can't be arsed to KEEP YOUR DISTANCE!"

[littleniyah]

@steveasat2 it kills me too. These peasants. If they weren't such damn FOOLS, we could drive our Bentleys at speed. But, dammit, they're all over the place. Don't know what the country's coming to.

Remember Harry Enfield: Women! For pity's sake, don't drive!

[mrspivvy]

They really had a thing for smashing up 1100s in those days

[Woollylinnet]

The BMC 1100 was the biggest-selling car of the 1960s, so by the time the 1970s rolled round, there were plenty to be smashed up.

So presumably they could get hold of them fairly cheaply as well.

[TashkentFox]

Why did they have to replace it with the God-awful Morris Marina?

[Woollylinnet]

They didn't - the Allegro was the 1100's successor.

But I'll agree - they slipped up there.

[alanlovedog]

no good crying over spilt milk.

[salvadormarley]

What a damn FOOL !!!!!!!!!!

[Applemask]

I always subconsciously replace the word "fool" in these PIFs with a word beginning with c.

"Only a c*** breaks the two second rule".

[swansandtyphus]

"It's hard having a cunt for a father."

[TashkentFox]

Yeah, because the laws of nature obviously got fucked up.

[cableguy786]

@swansandtyphus lMFAO!!

[rubis945]

Dodgy milk churn load on that lorry! And nice to see a feminist Austin Maxi get trashed, I always hated those cars. To quote the great Mark E Smith, 'with anti-nuclear, anti nicotine crap on the window!'

[GreatBarrWolf]

Not a maxi !!!! Austin 1100 - 1300

[zaax]

some of the these public fims should be bought up to dater and shown again

[steveissimo]

you're not wrong. Everyone still drives 6 inches off your back bumper in 2008

[marksoutof10]

Indeed they should, but I think I would miss the flares and the Noddy Holder hairstyles!

[MickeyLove01]

Fools for fathers? They've done well over the years!!

[zaikoji]

how come 70s films seem able to generate a fear factor that we can't reproduce today..there's just something a bit dark..like those old zombie flicks..

[LuvvyDuck]

They're not allowed to put in the really scary stuff anymore, it seems. It's too bad, too---today's youth seems to be more reckless than it ever was. It would really do them good to get the holy crap scared of them. XD

[Woollylinnet]

You say that, Luvvyduck, but some of the more recent Northern Irish ones are pretty hard-hitting. Perhaps they're not so constrained over there?

[LuvvyDuck]

Actually, I've never been to any of The Isles, and definitely never seen PIFs from No. Ireland. But from an article I read last week, it appeared that they've had to take it easy with some of them these days.

I live in the US, and we've had some pretty creepy Public Service stuff, but not half as frightening as what they made across the pond.

I think we're working on that, though. XD

[LuvvyDuck]

I just looked at some, Woollylinnet, and I see what you mean! "Despair's In The Cradle" made me want to cry. Anyway, thanks for the tip.

[MisterMangs]

they're lucky, if it were one of todays cars, it would of looked like a mangled piece of metal.

[krskipp]

how'd you figure that? Top gear did a test recently where a big old volvo was crashed into a small modern car. The older car lost despite being bigger. No crumple zones, no airbags, the smaller car just cut right through it.

[Jones240]

that was fifth gear. And it was a Renault, renouned for safety.

[Applemask]

JG Ballard Presents: See I Told You So

[nobogroll]

your a fool you are

[timshatsui]

My aunt had one of these ugly filthy Austin cars, I think it spent most of its time in the garage....british cars are the worst...and yes I am british myself!

[fromthesecondside]

It looks like that left rear indicator were shown blinking instead of right. Maybe left front blinker bulb were burnt out, and the milk truck were going into shoulder with emeregency lights on

[djwilko7]

haha ye the wig is at 34-35 secs falls off next to the red box leaving the passenger behind the driver BALD haha

[25AUG1968]

Someone should have told that "the van in front that might be turning right" was actually a truck, and this is what you get when you drive a Morris 1100, but please don't cry over spilt milk. Mike S.

[smiffy1071]

A bedford CA could hardly be described as a truck?

[hugalove]

Nah! More like a lorry! Mike S.

[TherezaBazaaar]

that is actually seriously disturbing never saw the wig you all on about lol...

[jonscott82]

GOT MILK??

[badwolf2]

fantastic, i've never seen that one before...

[mancunian1234]

No air bags or abs brakes back then.God this pi film is so old,a fool of a father?It would`ve been more accurate with a young 17 year old being the wheel.Especially nowadays the little dicks wizzing around in Imprezza turbos

[ktosh]

you're a fool if you dont! oh if only they talked like that on british tv nowadays!

[drwalpurgis]

Some charity for mentalists would sue if they did, no doubt.

[Applemask]

Obey Arthur Lowe.

[ATLDUDE08]

I caught the wig falling out right when the truck began to smash the car. It came out the back window on the driver side. Wow.

[Pyroman1990]

Jesus!
