@kranktank

I think you're the first person in history to profess that the behaviour of Ross Higgins' caricature (of an old Australian larrikin) is something turn on.

But thanx for the flattery... lol

[SenhorBundy]

Someone should blow insects up!

[IanGorton]

I wonder if Ross Higgins was trying to put on the Ted Bulpit persona

[80sOldSkool]

HAHAHAHAHA!!! I remember this advert well, what a classic our very own Ross Higgins is. "Pea-Beu, Pea-Beu, you're not using the Pea-Beu, I just polished the lid!"

[Gemfyre]

I blame this ad for my dad feeling the need to gas us all with flyspray whenever a single fly shows up at a BBQ. *puke*

[aussietv2]

@JiminyKracker Exactly. It seems insane to spray a toxic chemical around your house to kill one fly. A fly swatter is just as effective and alot safer to humans.

[jamdaniels]

It's "Louie the Fly" himself, Did Ross Higgins swap fly sprays for a while?

[Srekwah]

All that hype back in 90s about CFCs and the so called depletion of the Ozone layer has since been proven false and completely natural. The media tells you nothing.

"Just because it doesn't pong doesn't mean it isn't strong!" Oh my goodness.

[madamech2007]

bloody shambles of course someone should blow flys up

[JBofBrisbane]

@SenhorBundy - you forgot the "Bloody shambles of course!"

[AlfaRomeo0770]
