We hope it's chips

[@neilramjee]

Watching this again gives me that warm feeling inside of a time when everything was much simpler. Mum cooking a few Grillsteaks for tea with chips and beans while me and my brother sang "we hope it's chips, it's chips" at the dinner table. Ahhhh.

[@Steve157Oh]

I know what you mean. I can't remember the last time I got excited as I used to get about having a favourite meal for tea.

[@moi7748]

When life was good

[@martinranalli8572]

Aaahh the 80s when I was young and wasn't so anxious.

[@spreadthelove77]

I've still got this on my VHS when i taped The Goonies off the telly!!! This was an ad during the break!! Classic Ads never die, they just live forever on the wonderful world of KZbin!!!

[@ninfilms]

I remember this advert when The Goonies has ITV movie premiere in 1989.

[@spreadthelove77]

Ive still got this on video, when i forgot to press pause when i was taping The Goonies movie, way back when! Gawd bless 'em....

[@TLPhoto1]

I woke up the other day with this ad running around my head and knew I'd find it somewhere! Couldn't recall for the life of me what it was for!! But as someone said - back then, ads were good!

[@rastafarievers]

a national treasure. "fried honion rings" is what's it's all about.

[@Gannett2011]

This is a classic now, but I remember when it was shown in virtually every ad break. I also remember my mum buying those "Steakhouse Grills", really slightly elongated Birdseye beef burgers costing abut 20p more a box! I've since moved to California, and the other day heard the Doris Day song on the radio, and started singing these words to it. My American wife was totally bewildered - she thought she was the only one to remember cheesy advertising lyrics from her childhood! Thanks for bringing back so many memories of an 80s childhood!

[@RodAzlan]

That made me laugh so much mate. :) #classic

[@arcadia1081]

Greetz to you in CA. I moved to Germany and still make my own fish n chips!

[@mickieb74]

I have a smile on my face reading things like this 😆

[@MASONATOR2510]

Fried Onion rings!! Best quote ever

[@555pontifex]

I can't think of that song now without "fried onion rings" in a thick Jamaican accent. I was singing it this morning while washing the dishes.

[@Atomicsuplex]

I always thought it opened with "what will it be for tea tonight". I guess I have been singing it wrong for years.

[@duncanparry6057]

The adverts from the 80's and 90's were fantastic. Always very creative and clever. Much better than the rubbish produced today.

[@johnnyretro1975]

i remember this when i was kid every now then just sing it lol not seen this ages thanks for post

[@greenisland75]

Classsic ad. One you can sing along to.

[@willobi]

loved it on 28 days later when it was sung in the mess by the troops at dinner .

[@futureheaded]

Gonna be singing this all week!

[@citzxz]

Brilliant! Clever change of lyrics from Que sera sera!

[@waynejfoster9860]

Come on. Who started singing straight away and remembered every word? Lol

[@Stewart-z8p]

One of my favourites big dom

[@JurgenMacho]

this should be an advert for chips.....they clearly want chips.

[@raftanion]

so glad someone dug this one out - legendary :)

[@Phamelar]

It makes a good drinking song.

[@lesterroberts1]

80'S ADS WERE THE BEST

[@ralphymilne]

im the same mate, my mrs is 4 years younger than me, she thought i was mad when i started singin this one night!

[@Bollthorn]

*sighs happily* I still remember this advert ^_^

[@Emmamoo]

Ha ha I can still sing the words to this how sad am I?? This was when adverts were actually good!

[@ralphymilne]

im sure it did open with "what will it be for tea tonight". must have been cut off on the video. all time classic advert!

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

This is great!

[@leeroy65]

Started singing this out the blue mrs thinks im mad had to see if its on here to show her! Few years younger and she missed out!!

[@moedem]

fried honion rings lol

[@WalkmanSilver]

FRIED ONION REENGS

[@REEVESY14]

Love it!

[@tentringer4065]

We hope it's Quinoa, We hope it's Quinoa

[@Leonmpj]

I can no longer say "Fried onion rings" without affecting the West Indian accent.

[@TheMasterNo6]

This was when Birdseye Steakhouse Grills actually looked and tasted as nice as they seemed in that ad. I used to eat them with nice MaCain oven chips and Marrows fat peas...they taste crap now sadly....

[@StanPomeray]

I used to think it was "will it be mushrooms, fried on them rings" (cos the hob of the cooker has electric rings on it, you see.......I'll get me coat)

[@garyowens1517]

When tv adverts were about products not funeral plans and mobile phones

[@cizleryt]

[@bradwakey90]

"What will you give your old man with his Steakhouse Grill?" :-D

[@julesthemadman]

@jackjude My own expression would be quite incredulous, too. As I said though I haven't seen the range since the 80s - remember it needed two, with a mound of my late mother's delicious chips, to make any kind of meal.

[@Diamondblade2008]

I'm having a grillsteak for lunch as I write this!

[@Gulftastic]

Indeed, it's my standard test for if's someone's on my wavelength or not. Start singing the song and see what kind of accent they use.

[@JoeBleasdaleReal]

I know it doesn’t look like much but that was a van of dreams

[@SilverShamrock71]

used to live on those as a student..

[@Amandamoo73]

will it be mushrooms?fried onion rings?we'll have to wait and see!i remember this ad!

[@john111257]

i aint fat ..57..love me chips

[@Alig-hf4zl]

instant heartburn now. good back then.

[@TheFakeyCakeMaker]

First black dude I ever saw on an ad...didn't even know what fried onion rings were! hahahaha! xx

[@kuantize]

CADAVERHUSK, I love you.

[@Gulftastic]

You can judge how old a bloke is by the accent he uses to sing that line.

[@jimbogregs1]

Now I bet there's more than a hint o horse in those bad boys.

[@vicsmith5000]

Was the guy in the back of the van at 0:11 Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden ? Loved this ad then and still do now

[@willobi]

that was so cool on 28 day later in the mess with the army .

[@FreyjaD123]

isnt that Daniel Peacock?

[@DavidMosssk4]

Yes! (5 years later)

[@dragonfitter]

i used to hate going to work in the back of the van about 6 hungover hairy arse builders puffing on roll ups is not the best way to start the day

[@tinahales]

We went to London in the back of a van every week, all the black man were smoking spliff, it was great

[@eddypfunk]

@CADAVERHUSK haha thats one of my favourite ever youtube comments. Poignant and witty. Bravo sir.

[@mistofoles]

Ha ha! Daniel Peacock @ 0:11 ! I never notice that before!

[@thecollector75]

according to a friend of mine it was fried onion rings

[@julesthemadman]

I think I would have been seriously cheesed off if all I got with one of those measly little grills was a couple of fried onion rings.... Good ad though. Whatever happened to Steakhouse? They had a brief vogue but didn't I think last long...

[@aprilblossom9268]

Maybe they stopped using this ad? Surprising how you can forget what’s on the market although the main prompt from this ad was CHIPS!

[@TheVimtoMoustache]

The poor sods got couscous.

[@TroupeGoal]

* classic * ad!

[@samantha232]

whats wrong with cooking for a family, i cook for my hubby when hes working and i dont consider myself to be old fashioned or stuff like that, im not the greatest cook in the world lol but ill have a good try

[@TokyoJoe703]

That’s Daniel Peacock at 0:13. The fella to the left looks a bit Russel Crowe-ish

[@carefreejimbob]

lol.awesome,not seen this for yeeears.

[@AintBigAintClever]

@vicsmith5000 What, THE Bruce Dickinson?

[@jsidiropoulou]

@Emmamoo me too!

[@happinesscounts]

You can blame the Government for that!

[@AintBigAintClever]

@vicsmith5000 Look for More Cowbell SNL either on here or Vimeo.

[@thebresker]

And all these years I thought the black guy was Indian. Looks like steak, tastes like steak - I'll buy a steak, thanks

[@Thumbshifter]

I know exactly what you mean... :-)

[@AintBigAintClever]

@CADAVERHUSK Best comment ever!

[@daedralord1]

@CADAVERHUSK lololololololololololololol...its 5am, im all sleepy and ur comment just made me spill my coffee

[@nuknuk007]

his nickname was probley chalky or somthing like that

[@BuddyFantastic]

@Emmamoo join the club

[@TheVimtoMoustache]

The chips probably had horse in em. You can't move for horse these days......and Oscar Pistorious.

[@gan9e]

hehe

[@mkbuddy]

Bet there was horse in them

[@Steve10578]

@tarbuck77 - Yeah and would the black guy want to be in the advert if it was insulting him? Give him some credit.

[@holysmoke45]

@DominatorMCMLXXVIII didn't he do the kwik fit add when they all jumped up at the end. cant get quicker than a kwik fit fitter were the boys to trust hahahahaahahaha how sad am i

[@MELONSCOFFER]

Nowadays if someone asked a wife the question "what will you give your old man with his steakhouse grill" the answer would be " a frying pan for him to cook it himself". What a shame the world changed.

[@TheUttertrash]

melon scoffer fuck yaself wasteman

[@arcadia1081]

Obviously "Steak and Blow Job" day didn't exist then.

[@StuartGrice]

Lol

[@unclemort1960]

@ralphymilne and you were madder when she gave you a cottage cheese salad

[@adr01t]

Why did the black man sing the "Fried Onion Rings" line? I love the 80's! Imagine the audition, "....erm Hi Mr Winston we'd like you to sing about jacket spuds and frozen peas, but our researchers have found that the GLC says that coloured people eat yams, and cook peas embedded in rice so we with The "Fried Onion rings line" would be a bit better suited to your ethnic demographic, is that ok? btw we are running short on cash so would family tickets to Ipi Tombi cover the TV royalties?

[@brhodes0]

times change...imagine they've all got wives who will actually cook them a meal after they have been out in all weather earning money for the family!! bizarre. and cadaverhusk is right - all builders I know can't wait to knock off on Friday to get their shitty cheap cocaine and then stand outside the pub looking suspiciously pink faced.

[@funkg]

I really miss the decline of the british 'west indian' the flowery accent, style, the laughter and joy for life. What do we have instead? The moody monosyllabic 'Yeah bare tings' so on and so forth. I don't hear anyone in the Carribean talk like this.

[@Robertuts]

Not one drunken Pole in that van.

[@mrbillhicks]

I saw some drunken Poles at 11.30 this morning as I walked down to Tesco... A sight to behold at such an early hour...

[@holysmoke45]

@DominatorMCMLXXVIII

[@vicsmith5000]

@AintBigAintClever Looks a bit like him but def not him...just my daft sense of humour.

[@Android18uk]

I hope they got syphillis instead.

[@bigjoeangel]

these tasted disgusting
