Beefy and Lamby – Quality Mince
2 March 2008 by SilkyHere’s a nice bit of mild homophobia in an advert for beef:
Nothing like thinking you’ve been accused of homosexualism by the man you apparently live with to put you off your beef. Ooh, Missus!
But it’s OK, because it’s all done as a joke.
That does make homophobia alright, doesn’t it?

is it homophobic? all this lazy sunday kitchen stuff together with beefy flashing his quality-branded buttcheek my ex-boyfriend and I assumed they were actually meant to be gay….

but this ad series is on its own planet anyway. As my cricketing brother points out, who knows who Alan Lamb is any more? Or Brian Johnstone (sadly) unless that really is Henry Blofeld doing the voiceover….?
Thinking of the homophobia question, this ‘guys in the kitchen’ scenario reminds of any ad you can think of where two men are playing house together, and you’re wondering Wow! are they more than *gulp* just flatmates when *phew* right at the end one of their girlfriends comes in. Or does the ‘cocktail barmen’ Hellman’s mayonnaise ad take this to the wire and finish without a big heterosexual reveal? Now there’s a smug pair of cocks….;)

I actually got out of bed to post that last bit – nothing has made me laugh as much as this site in ages. Cheers Silky!

Why can’t all adverts involve computer generated cricketers playing the trombone?

Because their lip control is terrible and they end up dribbling…..

You have a dirty mind qwidge… I just hope it won’t get you in to trouble, it got Archer in to trouble, I hardly even see her anymore, anyone would think she’d buried herself in work……

You know, I recently got called silver tongued (in a roundabout sort of way) and I don’t think I’m going to lock up that particular silverware……
