5. Tango - You Know When You've Been Tangoed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K042CaAXSZ8 Leave it to a bunch of school kids to replicate what's on screen and take it to a whole new level of violence. Of course in this case 'a bunch of school kids' pretty much became the entirety of the country, with the easily-replicable actions of the Tango Man himself slapping someone directly across the face becoming a national sensation. Taking what was supposed to be something of a playful action, even though being smacked upside the head when you least expect it is rarely going to go down well, soon after children were smashing the crap out of each other and the advert was pulled. Still, it remains one of the most beloved in history, spawning one of the most fun school-based trends in history, putting Tango on the map regardless of intention or the best reasons. 4. Cillit Bang - BARRY SCOTT
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrMD_z_FnNk If the name "BARRY SCOTT" (and it must always be typed in capitals) doesn't mean anything to you, then you've done very well to avoid one of the most infectiously-annoying sound bites to ever grace television. Of course if you're feeling game then dive into the clip above, and be damned to the rest of your day being invaded by the overzealous cleaning-product salesman. As you'll quickly realise there's a particular cadence to BARRY's delivery, a certain je ne se qois if you will... in that he half-yells everything AT you, rather than describes it throughout the ad itself. Another for the debate-bin - do you think this was thoroughly self-aware, or was he trying his best to be professional and forthright?
