    I had a wind up toy of those Smash guys. That’s how popular that ad was. And I thought the product was supposed to come first before the commercial. Genius.

  13. This is not the …
    This is not the original advert from the seventies, as, because it was so funny they re-ran it about fifteen years later. The wording has changed. The original wording was not “and then they smash them all to bits” but “and then they smash them all to pieces” as in the seventies, people wiv televisions could talk proper!! Anyone else remember this??
    Apparently it was voted as peoples favorite advert of all time, and, even 20 years later, when they do these surveys it still wins every time!!!!
