Halifax - Yet Anther Song (TV)

Arg! More Howard Brown; as much as I like the idea of a leading personality being a non-stereotypical black person... these are just too much to bear.

Its a novel idea yes, sing a classic song with changed words.; but the joke has worn thin and the adverts are now simply annoying, nothing more.

Honestly, its no wonder it takes so long to get served when all the till staff are out on ad shoots. I hope there are no more, or they at least give Mr Brown an ad with some dignity left.

And to top it off, (seriously) Howard Brown was unveiled as a new exhibit at Madame Tussauds!!!

Strange world...

Exactly!!

(Do you mean the Oxo mum?)

I forgot about the weetabix ones, they were great! I loved the Robin Hood one.

Even better are the Maxell ads where he gets the words wrong to Into The Valley by the Skids (and other songs).
