I'm sorry but I just hate these adverts. I have seen a few over the years and I am of the opinion that they are getting worse. I thought ads were supposed to get you to buy a product, not go in the opposite direction. I think the worse one, for me, is that terrible cringing one (to promote the Tango megaphone) where a couple are eating out and the young man has to give a running commentary on everything that is going on around him. This, for me was even worse that that one where a boy is being bullied by loads of people with megaphones shouting down his ears. And to think - I used to think the little orange men were bad enough. ...  Read the complete review

...but the advertisement was a great success!! Personally, I could not stand these adverts. The annoying "ooh nooo Tony" voiceover and the fatso orange man who "hilariously" slapped innocent victims purporting to be the "smack" of the taste of the product is quite frankly childish! But, hey , let's face it, it was extremely successful with its target market;- teenagers and those of the 20-30 year-old age group who steadfastly refuse to grow-up!! In fact, the fact that the subsequent ban elevates this advert to the all-time greats!! Anything that receives a ban knows its hit home and hit home hard. In a way for ...  Read the complete review

I remember when this advert first came out - I was still in school. It got banned quickly enough though, and for a good reason. The way the advert went was to have a big fat orange man running up behind people and slapping their ears. The problem with this advert was that school kids took great pleasure in copying it, but didn`t give much thought to the kind of damage you can inflict by cupping your hands and slamming them against someone elses ears. The press picked up on this craze and started complaining quite vocally about the danger posed. This was also the start of Tango`s weird advert phase. They have gotten weirder and weirder as time has ...  Read the complete review

I wondered why I had not seen this advert on TV for a while. I presumed they had moved on. So they banned it from our screens because of schoolboy pranks. The novelty would soon have worn off and they would soon have been up to other mischiefous things!! The ad was a good idea. It was showing that their product had the effect of hitting us with their orangy tangy flavour. To show us that the taste would suddenly hit you. In my opinion it was a truthful ad. When I drink Tango, it does just that - hit me, with the taste of course! Truthful ads are important and they need to find fun ways, not only to keep us interested in it but to ...  Read the complete review

Aww God! I didn't know that this advert was banned!? Well, I guess if many people were getting the slap, it was enevitable that it'd happen, particularly in the UK. I don't think people who saw it tried to emulate the action in a malicious way, just in a jokey way, though I'm sure some people did the other. I'm not entirely sure when this ad came out, but I do remember severely cracking up! It's just simple dumb fun. I bet some person on drugs came up with this. I dunno, but I don't think most people can think of promoting a soft drink by a large slap-happy bloke *chuckle*! Tango's ad team always have been excellent (though the ...  Read the complete review
