Maltesers - Lockdown Saggy Pants

Classic Ads From Simpler Times

This week another in our occasional looks at interesting ads on your screens right now (or right recently in this case) in this episode we look at some ads for Maltesers that ran in the spring of 2020 during the first UK COVID lockdown.

There’s a bit of friction between Steve and Tones about the quality of the talent’s knickers and what they say about veracity in advertising. Some chat about when a pot plant can be referred to as a bush and we’ll find out why one of the ads needed an MA certificate so that they could show the results of some home baking.

‘Saggy Pants’ – the one with the knickers and ‘Cock and Balls’ the one with the cock and balls, are our favourites but will any of them end the awards season with Short Walk and a Handshake for the creative team?

Have a listen and see what you think. Feel free to drop us a line at [email protected] and if you fancy it, give us a like, a review and a subscribe and have a look at the ads we’re talking about on our YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/fEQbyZHvRI4
