@christmaspastandpresent: public information video from 70s. dont boil a kettle on a boat. strangest advert ever #publicinformation #70stv #nostalgia #itv #onthisday

John Lenin :

Does the kettle belong to the IRA?

Michael Spicer :

I made this, it’s not real. Follow me on my account and come and see me on tour this year. Thank you.

Lex Nicole :

this is oddly specific... so, does this mean there was enough dispersed wealth that they needed PSAs for boats orrrr was this just a very target audience?

Richard :

Because it’s not a real one. It’s two PI ads put together with voice by Tim Key.

Digfish :

It's made by a youtube comedian named Michael Spencer.

Lenzinian :

I mean she’s clearly in a house and you can hear a dog barking outside

barneypleasesatirenow :

boil the kettle before getting on the boat, put said water in a flask and chill out please

Mateo :

he just sounds exasperated with her at the end

TravEl.Blazer :

Is this what happened to Mountbatten?

Joanna Crispybiscuits :

Is this narrated by old Greg?

user2682797517616 :

Also,don't boil a kettle on a canoe. !! Dangerous that

ballofconfusion :

There were public information films like this all over the place back then...you were scared to do anything!

user1411218599438 :

This advert saved me countless times. I estimate I’d have lost half a dozen boats (and kettles), if this public information service was not televised in the 70’s.

user7556312759350 :

don’t get this ad

JanetZentz :

She is in her house

Leonie Thomas :

Who had a Welsh dresser on a boat?

Tony :

That escalated quickly.

kevindorrian :
