Advantages: Silly, weird and funny, a cult phenomenon, help preached Tango drinking (and er, slapping people) to the masses - Tango's ad team rule!

Disadvantages: Red cheeks, lacklustre follow-up ads in series (like wobbly hand Napoleon?), dying of laughter (in a sense), seeing an over-jaundiced fat bloke, the fact that it's old and banned...Bring it back again!

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 follow-ups in the 'slappy' series got a bit boring), even the new ones (you know, that Tango speakerphone thing?).
This ad indeed was a big hit (no pun intended, but maybe I'll intend it now), and I think I was in the early years of Secondary school when this came out...And yes, everyone heard of it, everyone had talked about it...And a lot of cheeks got red. But at the end of the day, it was very entertainining, and I wish it'd be unbanned, as a re-run of it again would still get me laughing! Tango have done well, and I'm sure sales of their range of drinks sky-rocketed too!
