For those of you football loving Apes and Gents watching Sky Sport’s Soccer AM today you’ll have no doubt noticed the video clip of Hull City’s notorious funny man Jimmy Bullard celebrating 21 years of Original 2in1 Shampoo and Conditioner Wash & Go. The short video is a comedic remake of Wash & Go’s 1980’s ad - ‘Take two bottles into the shower? Not me… I just Wash & Go’. For those of you who remember it, think locker slamming and dramatic bottle splashes with Jimmy adding his own comical twist.
Jimmy’s take on the advert: “I remember the original Wash & Go ad and thought it would be laugh to re-make a spoof version. I’m often joking about with my team mates after a game or training so I don’t spend ages faffing around in showers. I literally just duck in and out but also need to ensure my ‘barnet’ looks great without all the fuss so Wash & Go is a perfect fit for me.”
To be honest I can’t imagine Jimmy taking too much care of himself, so the convenience of Wash & Go Sport will sit perfectly well in the talented footballers kit bag. If you didn’t catch it then you’re in for a treat - explaining the video is one of the harder topics I’ve ever covered so my advice is just watch and enjoy! I’ll let you decide if Jimmy’s an Ape or a Gent!?
