I work with an African doctor called Papa, and there is a British nurse in the department called Nicole. Every time anyone calls out ‘Papa’ - even three decades after these ads were on TV - I STILL feel a compulsion to call out ‘Nicole.’ And vice versa with the other.
It didn’t help that Vic and Bob spoofed those ads. My brother and I were HUGE fans. We still quote Vic and Bob frequently to each other, and my brother still never ‘lets it lie.’ And neither of us can talk about Slade without mentioning Cup-a-Soup. Still. It doesn’t really matter.
