  • THE MANAGER FROM THE ALL GOLD AD IS WOOFLES FROM PUMPKIN PATCH

    22 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham in Celebrities, Mind Fuck, Television, Video

    I told you yesterday about the identity of “The Stig” on Top Gear (turns out there was more than one Stig, btw) and at the end of the article I said the following:

    It reminds me of a few years back when I finally let the cat out of the bag that I was “Woofles” from the SABC children’s spectacular, Pumpkin Patch.

    Now that was obviously a joke and, for those of you in the dark, Pumpkin Patch was a crap kids TV show we watched on SABC during apartheid South Africa. The main character was a dog called Woofles and he shared the stage with two puppets, Freckles and Speckles. They kept things pretty basic in those days

    So anyway, I got the following email from Mike N:

     

    Hey Seth,

    FYI – I went to Afda (CT film school) and the acting coach there is actually the original Woofles – can\’t remember his name but if you recall the All Gold Ad where that announcer dude says \”36ssssshhhhhhhhh!\”. Woofles is the manager guy who comes in and says, \”I like the way you say 36shhhhhhhh!\”
    Interesting trivia….

    cheers, Mike

     

    Can you bloody believe it?

    That is probably the biggest revelation I have heard in the last 18 months. It’s bigger than that crap story about the Stig.

    And so now I’ll cut to the chase and play you the LEGENDARY All Gold advert, featuring Woofles as the factory manager!

     

    Hey?

    He doesn’t look like Woofles at all!!!

    I tell you… just when you thought things couldn’t get any crazier!

     

    I like the way you say thirty sixshhhhhhh!

     

    [thanks andre]
