I got here because I just watched the Yellow Pages "French polisher" advert, which you should all also go look up if you like this one, you'll remember that one too!
Fun fact. I lived with the guy in this ad, Jason, for about three months in Toxteth back in 1991. He was one of two people that were home all day and he did absolutely fuck all to clean the flat, so what you’re seeing in the ad here is tame in comparison
I recognise him from something I’m sure! Is he still an actor? What’s his surname. We were talking about this ad the other day because he looks so familiar!
I remember seeing this in late '98/early '99 when I was 11. And I am now probably the same age as he was at the time. It seems like only yesterday that I saw this advert!
Actually, she says "barthrum". Back then there was no question that it was the room with the bathtub. In the UK anyway. I have never thought she might mean the toilet. It would coarsen the punchline and make it less suitable round the clock viewing.
However, in 90% of houses the room with the bathtub was also the room with the bog in it. But yes - such an inference would certainly cause terrible offence amongst the very refined viewers that make up the vast majority of UK TV audiences. Switchboards would've gone up in flames. Questions would doubtless have been asked in the House of Commons. It hardly bears thinking about.
I remember watching this on television when I was a child and I and my family were round at my Nana and Grandad's house and (because they kept their house nice and clean) Grandad said "oh he's a messy begger isn't he?"
🤣 that reminded me of this time we got burgled, cops investigating asked about these two bags of clothes left in a cupboard near the front door. I tell 'em I have no idea what they are. 🤔 Housemate comes home to see cops in the house, 😧 I tell him we've been robbed and he looks at me concerned 😰whispering "why are they going through my dirty laundry?"
I remember really fancying the woman in this advert, then I went to see The Taming Of The Shrew on stage, and she played one of the sisters. Couldn't stop staring at her. I thought she was so hot.
I'm guessing a sizable log in the toilet, or porn mags and used tissues on the floor. or even a sizable log on the floor- maybe that was why she was so disgusted.
I reckon you'll have more visitors again after it was linked in a Guardian article today. My brother actually was burgled and he literally could not tell the police what was taken, other than his laptop. There was some object that he honestly claimed on the insurance, only to find it some months later.
If your eyes are perfectly fine why did you go to the opticians? There are glaring inconsistencies in your testimony. I put it to you that you went to the opticians out of loneliness and a longing for human contact - regardless of the terrible consequences that could ensue from such behaviour.
Knew I recognised this guy from somewhere after I saw him in that football tv show! When was the last time this was shown? Does the yellow book actually even get printed any more?! Miss those days! lol
I remember when this advert was new - one of the best yellow pages ads!
The last bit. Absolute classic ad. I’ve just searched this don’t know why? 😂
Me too. The unconscious is a funny old place!
Same here, so memorable and just came to my mind.

Me when I was a kid: "Wow he has a messy flat!"
Me now: *literally me now*
This flat looks like a real flat of some of our clients:-)
Hi
Wow this has just been reawakened from my brain!!! I'd completely forgotten about this ad

He looks like James Lance!

Best advert ever, still makes me laugh
"Oh my goodness you're right, how awful" 😂😂😂😂

I was 9 years old, now I am 33, I agree with you, it seems like only yesterday I saw this advert.
Still makes me laugh ....... his face at the end ............. priceless
That lad and his flat😂, it's still the same but now worth 10million in W1.
Nice last pay-off line about the state of his bog. Wasn't expecting that.

Watching with the sound off and I can still "hear" every word 😂
I can't believe I found this!! Brilliant
'98? God, I feel old.
Ironically, I was burgalled and had to admit to the police that actually no, my house always looks like this.

J R Hartley was quite the ladies' man in his youth
This was back when lad culture was very popular

Agreed, I remember the advert at the time, but was a bit too young to appreciate just how beautiful she is.
Got a name?

I spent several years trying to figure out what had been done in the bathroom. The search continues.
You don't want to know.

Yuletide log I reckon.
I can say you what she could find there:-)
I remember asking someone when I was a child and saw this and his response was "Eating Pizza in the toilet".
Brings new meaning to "yellow pages"
"he's so messy he throws empty milk cartons on the floor! Who does that?!"
You don't know my brother then, I take it?
Of course, that’s why it was him. No one burgled his place
@@ChristopherS9627 I know that. I was just quoting a part of the video description. My brother is exactly like that guy XD
Love the Nike Airs
I totally forgot about that Bathroom line at the end
he looks like the singer of the Comsat Angels, but with wider nostrils.
Yellow pages kept getting slimmer every year from 2003 onwards

The actress is hot!
Should've gone to Specs Savers.
bobbydj01 I think you're the one who needs to go to Specsavers. lol
Hahaha!! Okay - my turn again:
No - I think YOU'RE the one who needs to go to Specsavers!
This is fun.
bobbydj01 I've already been, so my eyes are perfectly fine. lol

The guy looks like Richard Ashcroft

What sort of person leaves his flat and not lock the door 😂
Is there a sequel where this couple are now married with kids? Or he married the cleaner..
This is so funny, it makes me laugh
Why can I hear the Battle Bus at the end
Where did the story go? Did they end up married with children?
Your door is a Jar love English grammar..
What did they do? flood the bathroom!
You don't want to know.
Took a dump in the bathroom..yea?
She's nice.
Aint he in Ted Leslo?
Anyone know who these actors are? Someone said they looked like brother and sister.
She's Charlotte Randle.
Anyone know who the actress is?
Charlotte Randle
3 hours a week! Lazy git.

Charlotte randle
Thank you. She is my doppelganger (though you wouldn't guess!)
Fortnite bus sound at the end.
Still doesnt occur he should clean up his own 💩💩
😂🤣
Nope get a cleaner
Let your fringes do the talking
The Book Group. Enjoyed that series. Reading. See? What? lol
James Lance? Respect!
this advert still pisses me off. this guy doesn't need a cleaner; he needs a new attitude
DIFFERENT VERSION OF SAME ADVERT: ua-cam.com/video/ZJUXzWxkXKg/v-deo.html
What if it had been her apartments. Seriously have you seen the state of some of these ladies' rooms? See Friends episode Girl with messy apartment.
How novel, an Englishman and an Englishwoman being cast in the same advert in their own country, England.
How come she didnt use Yellow Pages to call the cops?
Because literally no one uses yellow pages to call the cops
Isn’t that a young Sian Clifford?
No. This woman is pretty.

@@lukea136 The fact that you're subscribed to people like Pink explains a lot in regards to why you're the way you are.
No one burgled the house. It was him who did. He was the one who made the mess himself
Cheers for that Chris
Thanks allot Chris
Well it’s true though. He done it and he’s the one who made all the mess himself.
No shit Sherlock, how would we have ever figured this out without you!🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂
