captain sensible on cereal commercial

[@barttheanorak]

That lady really is Captain Sensible's auntie. I even remember my Mum telling me that as we watched that advert. In fact the ad is where I first heard the tune Puffin' Billy.

[@bigangie1]

what an ad, eh??? Remember first time i saw this ad on tv, cos Sadie really is his auntie and she stayed in our block of flats. The next time we saw her, we all ran over and asked, "are you really his auntie"? She gave my us all these wee " SS Sensible" badges! Amazing!!!!!

[@barbaraannecortina7899]

that just takes me back to the first couple of months of 1984, when I would have been on the verge of turning thirteen!

Never heard John Lydon say "Use the enemy"??? There's nothing wrong with taking easy money for innocent advertising. It's not like they're backing the governmnet, unlike a certain Gallagher I recall. John Lydon got no flack for selling beer, nor did Lemmy, what's the big problem with butter, it is healthier than marg!

[@VacuitysBane]

I had no idea Cptn. Sensible was a houshold name lol

[@myname203]

This commercial almost makes me like mornings

[@KroovyMonsoon]

Hee hee what fun! You could put this next to the Tori Amos commercial for Just Right (which You Tube also has) and do a set of Rock & Roll cereal commercials!

[@Kelly14UK]

@Acephalic66 Trust me. The paradox between Sensible's Happy Talk BBC persona and what REALLY went on in The Damned was what got me into that band.

[@punchcar]

Even worse, the music in the commercial is the theme from the U.S. CBS-TV kids show "Captain Kangaroo"

[@GunPoor]

surreal

God. You went to school with Vanian? What ,pray tell was that like? !!!!! Did he look like Eddie Munster?

[@ultramouse]

if only every conundrum were as tasty as this one.

[@sian2043]

What year was this?

[@LanceThruster]

'Punk' sold butter recently (Johnny Rotten). I thought both were fun. Nobody's in a panic over anyone trying to cash in anymore, are they?

[@CanadaAstro]

Captain, I said "Wot"? You eat weetabix, what a letdown, thought you were a Bacon and Eggs man, and chips fella. What a letdown. This is simply NOT sensible!

[@phantomrider78]

He's been a vegetarian since 1980. Has always been very vocal about it too.

[@Gary80264]
