It’s a famous and long-running ad campaign for beer. Probably some of my favourite (and most brilliant) ads, imho.

Az – neither did I ! But I recognised Q8s modus operandi of thread titles (and just didn’t get it)….
Is the beer dutch and the ads start with ‘Probably the best….’ and did they pay nearly 60MILLION USD just for 5 secs in Skyfall???
Re your second MEME :
Yesterday, a new 30yr old female colleague (very pleasant on the eyes) says she got stopped by a French police control a few years ago late at night after a
work shift and then again by a different one 10 mins later !!And she overheard the second officer on the radio to the first one, saying something like “you’re right mate, she’s a bit of alright”!!!!
She had a rant and then got told not to speak to the police like that ! And she replied, you’ll see what ‘not right’ is like and threatened to report them.

I didn’t realise there was a reference either. I just read the meme and thought “Truth!”
Another vaccine not available in Australia. All Aussies have fallen for the charm of this fluffer.
@ Barrett, good one! lol. But I feel I must complain.
It feels sacriligeous to have DT appear in the same thread as His Royal McChewie Cuteness. @ Vienna re your colleaugues experience –
Re the coppers – I’ve been pulled over twice for looking like I’m having too much fun while singing along to the radio in my car
That could actually be the basis for another ad campaign!

That last one is great, just love the pic too
His fur is the best, his long locks remind me of this guy https://media.boingboing.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/fabio.jpg lol.

Okay, I’m DYING, just dying from Chewie Goodness overload. Q8, just stop!! I can’t hannnnndle it nooomoore! This reminds me of those Chuck Norris ones. Oooh! Can we *pretty please* have a Chuck Norris Vs. Chewie Meme-Out?
Well, maybe just one meme.
The Lifetime Award was my fave. This is the best thread ever, Q8. -

We call it Fairy Floss in Australia. Even though I’ve been in the US for a while now, I still can’t get used to calling it Cotton Candy.It’s called Candy Floss in the UK, but here is a Wiki history of the name, Reese:
“Machine-spun cotton candy was invented in 1897 by the dentist William Morrison and confectioner John C. Wharton and first introduced to a wide audience at the 1904 World’s Fair as “Fairy Floss”[9] with great success, selling 68,655 boxes at 25¢ per box (equivalent to $7 per box today). Joseph Lascaux, a dentist from New Orleans, Louisiana, invented a similar cotton candy machine in 1921. In fact, the Lascaux patent named the sweet confection “cotton candy” and the “fairy floss” name faded away, although it retains this name in Australia.[10][11] In the 1970s an automatic cotton candy machine was created which made the product and packaged it. This made it easier to produce and available to sell at carnivals, fairs, and stores in the 1970s and on”.
By dentists!! Too funny.
Yay, Aussies stuck with original name.

Well, phooey.
Also, shucks. 
If only Chewie had been around 11 years ago, I could sure have used his assistance, and maybe then I wouldn’t have gotten stuck with a 2001 Ford Focus SE that I had to keep together with spit and baling wire until this February! (wanders off muttering about faulty electrical and ignition systems and having to replace thermostats at least twice…) -

No idea what lambchops you’re talking about.
Yeah. Uh-huh. Right. Sure.
My own Fernando – and I really need to start uploading some pics of the pair so I can post them too – is a perfect ringer for Lewis Carroll’s White Rabbit, and there’s nothing more high-Victorian than that, if you ask me. I may have to buy him a watch and chain. Or maybe not; I don’t think I want him madly dashing about fretting about being late for everything! -
For those of you who enjoy this thread every day, I hope you will forgive me, but as of today, there will only be new posts on Fridays. I won’t be able to keep up the daily-posting frequency because work will start again soon, and with it, all the madness life can bring in the months leading up to a move halfway around the world.
So The Rabbit will see you all again next Friday.

And on this note, The Most Interesting Rabbit in the World must say goodbye.
It’s been a great year(ish), but he’s got lots of new adventures heading his way in the coming months and his chronicler is feeling rather overwhelmed.
Thanks to all who enjoyed his exploits. We’ll see you from time to time on the monthly Pictures thread.
but I feel I’m missing something in the title & its meme…..? Am I ?

to protect my eyes.
