UNISON BEAR

TV ad

[@OJMcG]

This had to be one of me and my mothers favourite commercials of all time! So glad I FINALLY found it!!! XD

[@kayy_kayy5525]

I have always remembered this ad, so happy I found it…. It’s been many, many moons…. 💯👍🏼❤️

[@WarehouseOfWarpage]

I haven't seen this in over twenty years. If I remember correctly, it was on a VHS tape of Dastardly and Muttley in their Flying Machines. Does anyone else remember that?

[@PBL187]

I’ll never forget when I first saw this as a kid. Me and my dad were in stitches 😂🤣

[@jillcb1]

One of the best tv ads ever made

[@kurotresinaanka6910]

I love his ears wiggling.:)

[@denicase9444]

So relevant for now! ❤

[@deborahmckenna2869]

My favourite ad ever

[@StewartMacArthur1]

Fantastic and so relevant now!

[@oneoflokis]

Yes, indeed!! Even - 7 yes later - at the tail end of The Age Of May - soon to push off this June!! Someone above suggested a remake with a fatcat. Maybe a big ugly Shere-Khan-looking tiger? One thing is sure: we need another ad like this, on TV and the internet!! 🤣 #UKLabour #solidarity #JC4PM

[@calliesullivan931]

So delighted to find this after so many years. Last time I tried searching for it, it didn't refer me to here. It was one of my favourite ads and - typically - I only saw it about three times, unlike annoying ads which were/are shown every single break. I remember nearly falling off the sofa laughing the first time I saw the bear lifting up its tummy to try and find the source of the noise!

[@DavidThomas-fz1qi]

Callie Sullivan I've been thinking it was the Fox's Glacier Mint bear, I got here quite by accident and am delighted too. Simple and perfect 😊✔

[@jojo-cy6dp]

Lol, i had a college teacher wanting to talk to the class, and he said we were this advert.

[@jojo-cy6dp]

He did the voice as well, lol

[@norupologies5926]

I still quote this all the time haha the tiny "excuse me" 😅

[@SuperTed19021]

I remember this, had this taped off TV! Johnny Morris, another lovely voice gone.

[@markfox1545]

Not sure why that has any relevance, the voice is James Bolam.

[@applemask]

@@markfox1545 Johnny Morris would never have done an ad for a union

[@oneoflokis]

I love that fraggin' #Unison ad!! 😁😁👍👍 That one in particular - "GET OUT OF THE WAY"!!! 😏🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for uploading it!!

[@markgorman1962]

At last. I've been looking for this for years. astonishing ad.

[@Matthew0Taylor]

God I remember this add from when I was little.

[@michellemorph66]

I love this advert it's so cute !

[@Mallikinney]

LOL omg I've been searching for this commercial for YEARS! Thank you :D

[@beastlaz]

My favourite advert ever! I'm quite tall (6ft 8'') but I always seemed to attract the shortest girlfriends, so I'd do the whole 'Who's that speaking?' and looking around at my eye level whenever they were talking to me.

[@dbravo2740]

this advert was my favourite when i was younger

[@groke1038]

Great advertisement. Those were the days when unison actually did something.

[@Culs04]

I work in advertising and I love it!

[@charlottegerlack1021]

Fantastic I've been looking for that advert for ages definitely on my likes :)

[@flybobbie1449]

So appropriate for these covid times

[@KrautGoesWild]

This is actually the very first TV ad I saw on my first trip to the U.S. xD xD

[@hakc97again]

Imagine if the ants carried a boombox and started playing "Move Bitch"

[@stevieFFmaster]

I havnt seen this in years. I cried when it was taken off.

[@silverecho44]

loving it!! so funny lol

[@InklingStudio]

Who did the animation ? Simple , but beautiful character animation.

[@Rossco64]

Been searching for this ad for aaaaaaages. I thought it was a Coco Cola advert lol.

[@danyhunselar9654]

Nice😀

[@mondoplaysbad]

ha! Found it. Classic ad.

[@Meli951023698]

sweet

[@altemark]

Wait, I had a great idea! Maybe; swap the polar bear for an (evil-looking) FAT CAT (!) That could be very nice!! I Think.

[@LilLouise18]

@Rossco64 I thought it was a Coco Cola advert too!

[@hozling]

see!!.xxx

[@MJN_SEIFER]

Apparently Ant's can't/don't go around, only in straight line (don't know if that's true.)

[@bbcfree8106]

ANONYMOUS ANALOGY

[@1988muffimausi]

😂

[@altemark]

So, that capitalist system is a cute polar bear? What would the wobblies say! (it is cute though. Turtles are nice as well)

[@jordan3400]

Yeah.. Power to the people! Next time someone doesn't hear you mumble "excuse me" quietly, get a buddy to mumble it quietly. Still nothing? Fucking push the guy out to the way and form an army to get past. Don't you dare even think about stepping to the right!

[@KEITHMU]

Typical Union attitudes, why go around the bear when you can shout loud and cause maximum disruption!

[@oneoflokis]

Why should Union members feel obliged to detour around a big ugly bear??? (Or a fatcat, come to that!!) #solidarity

[@Ian25tech]

This union is rubbish! I was a member for 23 years and I lost my job after retaliating against workplace bullying. I was immediately thrown out of Unison for the excuse of none payment of subs. I was only 4 weeks behind. The bullying continued and I helped a former colleague back to his job in Sunderland Council. I invited Unison reps to meetings and they declined. After a meeting in Newcastle office I received a nasty letter accusing me of threatening behaviour even though I had a witness!!

[@Ian25tech]

But all false!!
