[@tommcewan7936]

Normally I despise advertising (Orwell called it "the rattling of a stick in a swill bucket") but I will admit a fair amount of misapplied creativity and cleverness goes into some of them. The Pot Noodle one was undeniably hilarious if you knew the cultural context. Pot Noodles had literally been the punchline to jokes for years already - especially in sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf, that show *really* loved to have a go at them!

[@keithsmith6932]

@@tommcewan7936 I love Red Dwarf and yes agree. I think there was a sketch in the Young Ones too about Pot Noodle.

[@TheOnlyGazzLam]

Agreeing to everything here. It did air.. several with this tagline. I'm surprised they got away with the word 'slag'... I presume it was a watershed advert... I mean, if Peggy Mitchell can use it in Eastenders, I guess it's good post-watershed. Since you don't have them, yes, it's a simple flavoured dried noodle snack in a cup... Add hot water and your are good to go. I remember a couple of retro bars I've been in (Fab Café for the U.K Folk) where you could drink 8 pints of beer and buy one at the bar, water it up and in a really ill-fated decision eat it and carry on drinking and trying to pull girls............. never, ever successfully. Their (hugely artificial and no doubt bad for you) flavours are really good though. Sadly, being in Australia now, I'm limited to "Chicken & Mushroom" and "Bombay Badboy" if I can find them.. And I'm the worst of the bunch, because I'm a "Nice & Spicy" fan, which culinarily is probably the worst flavour... I don't think there's a natural flavouring in it.... but I LOVE it.

[@laurenC91.]

If you're traumatised by these few adverts imagine all the adverts we had over here growing up 🙈😆 though it probably explains the insensitive/dark side to british humour. Adverts desensitised us from childhood upwards 😂

[@tommcewan7936]

The Pepperami are angry and violent to signify the spiciness. Fun fact: the normal ones (not the one that gets flattened into donner meat) were voiced by British comedy legend Adrian Edmondson, long-time partner of Rik Mayall, of "The Young Ones" and "Bottom" fame. There was even a Pepperami *computer game* ("Animal") released as part of their rather off-the-wall marketing campaign. As for the dreaded Pot Noodle, that advert was genius in its audacity. For some reason, that particular snack already had a really grubby reputation in the UK for decades by the time that advert aired (I think because they were perceived to be spectacularly unhealthy, and people weren't just eating them as a snack but in lieu of proper balanced meals; the recipe's been improved a bit in recent years), so apparently some madlad in the marketing team, realising how incredibly difficult it would be to try to improve their product's terrible image, decided to just lean hard into it instead! Several of these adverts were actually banned, BTW. I remember that ghastly "dog breath" one, in particular, was banned almost immediately after it was first broadcast.

Leah Washington and Joe Pugh were both teenagers riding the Smiler when it crashed in 2015. Leah's leg was later amputated and Joe had shattered knees. The pair, from Barnsley in South Yorkshire, were among 16 people hurt in the crash, five of them seriously, when two carriages on the ride collided in June that year. Theme park owner Merlin admitted breaching the Health and Safety Act and was fined £5m in September 2016. Leah and Vicky Balch, of Leyland, Lancashire, who also lost a leg as a result of the crash, later announced they were suing Merlin for negligence and or breach of statutory duty.

The bungee jump might have coincided with (or even referenced) the Noels' House Party stunt in which someone did a bungee jump and there was a miscalculation for the length of the bungee cord and the guy doing the jump died.

[@AndrewHalliwell]

@@richardhockey8442 Little bit mixed up there, methinks. The show was "The Late Late Breakfast Show" The segment was where a random member of the public was offered the chance to perform a stunt. The stunt in question that week was meant to be escapology stunt that involved him being locked in a safe, dangled by a crane by a burning cable. But the cable snapped, plummeting the safe into the ground and killing the occupant. And that was the end of The Late Late Breakfast show. And the birth of Noel's House Party.
