This commercial and all the educational material that went to schools because of this campaign, has saved a lot of lives. I was eight when this ad came on TV and before this campaign I would be outside playing cricket and down the beach in just shorts getting the shit burnt out of me. I started to cover up and try to protect myself from the Sun because of this.. Sometimes advertising can be a really good thing.
he sure does lol, i grew up with this crazy bird when i was a boy many years ago, its how i first learnt about well SLIP SLOP SLAP!! lol i also remember later adds where he had his young son appear with him lol, those were the days
Also, I had a dream where I was watching this ad, but for some reason, instead of "Slip Slop Slap", the words were "Slip Slop Shoe". Don't ask me why. Even I don't know why that happened in my dream, nor do I know what the "shoe" is supposed to be for.
I don't know about anyone else but the idea of wearing a shirt in the heat with sunscreen underneath makes me never want to go to the beach ever gain. That's as uncomfortable as it gets.
@MeAgain998 Actually it is not racism. There are no laws to state it. It is not possible to be racist against the majority race. Do some study and try and find that other neuron so you have two to rub together.

I am starting to cry any minute.
Because it breaks my heart to see vintage ads.
I saw him on TV and on a billboard while visiting Australia in 2004. He's cute :-)
Yeah, he's very famous in Australia
because he was made in australia
He generated quite a bit of saliva for such a little bird.
Another great ad campaign that I'd like to see on the air again, along with Don't Rubbish Australia.

Must be related to Ita Buttrose

Pretty little tune about skin cancer. And those little unobtrusive letters. Creepy.

@ConantheWesty Hes was all worried about slip slop and slapping but obviously dehydration wasn't one of his concerns. haha
I think they based this bird on Ita Buttrose's voice, but just changed it to male....I remember it well & hell, yes way too much saliva...

@Spyplane2008 YES! I'm still searching for it. I have the radio version on cassette tape somewhere. :)
Cool and interesting!
@simonewatson3 i love how people always tell other people not to be racist and dont realise that you actually can be racist to caucasians too
Good god I remember being a kid in school and using this to make fun of the kid with a lisp, hahahaha.
SCHLIP SCHLOP SCHLAP
good times.
I know you like big round, easy to write years, like 1980, but it was 1981, not 1980.
They know that
@@darealpig9653 nah I don’t think they would. Then they wouldn’t have put the incorrect date nuffy
@@sliat1981 its most likely they stated that in the description
@@darealpig9653 they clearly haven’t. Read the description 🤦
@simonewatson3 but thats not what majority/minority normally means
1981, not 1980
1981 not 1980
How does his eyes blink and stay open at the same time?
I thought that big white space was his eyes, too. I guess it's just part of his face, and the eyes are just the black bits.
No wait, you're right...everybody else has the same thing going on.
heh he has a lisp!
i just came
