Fantastic advert. I love the way they shake when the alarm goes off, and the Pirate's "MILK! MILK" exclamation, the way the cyclist enters the kitchen on his bike, how the cow picks up the bottle with it's face and so on... :D
I remember seeing some of those Cravendale ads when I was a teenager. They were shown on Channel 4 in the late 2000s. They were kinda very entertaining. They must be from the same Belgian chaps who are behind the 2000s TV series, A Town Called Panic (French: Panique au village, lit. "Panic at the village").
This is going to sound really sad, but I actually have that chicken they use on the record player. It's an old Britains farmyard figure. That is all. As you were.
Why would that sound sad? It’s a lovely thing you’ve shared with people :) you should be proud of the fact you kept something that has sentimental value to you.
I lived in the UK in the mid-80s. I very much miss the British ads that don't sell anything. It's basically, "This half-minute of utter madness brought to you by Squeezy Cheesy." Could hardly be less productive than our "on-message" ones.
