Folks,

Who is the guy in the new Pot Noodle advert - the Tastify one?

I think he's Australian - he has quite long sideburns.

Tried google without success.

Cheers.

You dont find them more fun than throwing a poodle then? yum

I do seem to have that annoying tune etched into my head after this weekend - they were plugging it quite frequently!

Sorry no idea who the bloke in question is.

Really interested to know whether I'm the only person who, for about the first 5 times of seeing the advert, I was watching too intently on what happened to the poodle (parachutes back down, btw) to notice the lass in the yellow top run across the front and do the splits.

I suspect that might mean that, subconciously, I love poodle holes. whistle

I thought the first one was quite amusing, I don't understand why they've replaced it with the rather lame 'throwing a poodle' ad so quickly.

It's not a patch on Compare The Meerkat. hehe

I agree on all counts!

The tubby guy certainly had the Beyonce dance well rehearsed!

Still no further forward on the guy's name though!

It just bugs me that i've seen him before in something and I can't remember what.

I know what you mean - but dont think I can help... slightly chubby, retro looking aussie guy... I'm sure hes been in a series where he looks exactly the same. Hes not been in Flight of the Conchords has he? (its rare I watch it)
