PIFMix: Rowan Atkinson Gets Blood From Stone

Here's a famous PIF for the Blood Transfusion Service (as they were called back in 1984 or so) remastered and remixed for today's cool crowd of young out-and-about hipsters. "Remastered" in this case meaning "tidied up a bit and with the sound moved half a second out of sync".

Honestly, I think they should bring this back. Atkinson still looks more or less the same, for one thing, and their lack of donors is well documented. Adverts depicting People From All Walks Of Life sporting plasters probably isn't going to do it. You know what else won't help, by the way, Blood Service? This "centralisation" thing. Seems to me that would actually DECREASE the number of donors. Not exactly the actions of a blood service low on blood. More the actions of one SWIMMING IN THE GOD DAMNED STUFF AND ACTUALLY NEEDING TO UNLOAD SOME. Berks.

this is a great ad but I question the "remastered" nature of it. Why is "1/2 second out of sync" considered hip? Having the dialog out of sync isn't hip, its look like a mistake.

No, that was accidental. I was being self-deprecating.

Ain't seen this in years. It would help things a little, if the nurses looking to take your blood weren't so bloody (sic) miserable. Phnaaar!!

[Applemask]

They all seem happy enough to me when I donate. Maybe it's because I live in the country.

You know, I really don't know why but this commercial really creeped the heck out of me!

"Ooooooh, thank youuuu..."

Rowan Atkinson is still awesome, though!

[CirkusBolgen]

Sweet. Very nice ad.

0.o ?!?

Ever so slightly creepy PIF, despite Mr. Bean being in it. And in my ITV region, they used to stick it on in the afternoon so kids could watch it!
