    He's got dad's pants in the middle of his roll

    Anyone seen that new Vimto advert with a kid who's at a school swimming lesson and then discovers that his mother has rolled up his dad's pants in with his towel rather than his trunks?

    He drinks the Vimto, then he has an idea to wear his dad's pants with a pair of braces and jump off the top diving board, creating a parachute effect so he lands safely in the water.

    Meanwhile the advert has a catchy song which goes 'He's got dad's spants in the middle of his roll'!

    One of the funniest ads I've seen in a long time, well worth looking out for!

    it's funny the first time you see it..... and as an ad it works, cause were talking about it here but that just hightlights the poor state of tv today, when the adverts are better than the programme you are watching.

    LOL - get the whip out, if he's got time to watch Frosties and Vimto Advert's and memorise their lyrics and words then your not working him hard enough

    I'll agree with most here - I've seen these adverts once as I tend not to watch too much TV unless it's something I've recorded on the PC, and the Frosties advert well... the less said about that the better.
