Crunchy Tuff Nuts

Monday, May 15, 2006

I love in-jokes and those little one liners people say that evolve into running gags. Just as well that my friends are so conducive to them too!

I was discussing the concept of in-jokes on ANZAC Day at the footy with Claire, because we got a packet of Crunchy Tuff Nuts free with the Footy Record. I'd never heard of these Tuff Nuts, but as it turns out, her friends had. So much so that at the tail end of a big night, they dare each other to go into servos and ask if they have Crunchy Tuff Nuts. The more you talk about it, the funnier it gets.

I really wanted to get a picture of a Tuff Nuts box. I even searched "Tuff Nuts" on Google Image Search, unsuccessfully, but at least the content wasn't ... explicit. Unless you count this guy, who either found it pretty damn funny or has superhuman testicular fortitude.

These days, we manage to create our own little catch phrases over a big night with ease. A few weeks back, everyone was in such good form with one-liners, I had to write them down. Photos are great, but if you can capture those magic quotables, you'll have a memory for ages. In the absence of owning a camera, I might start recording stuff onto my iRiver.

I love Crunchy Tuff Nuts for the sole reason that Dave Callan voices their TV ad.

The fact that Dave Callan voices their ad is a good thing because:

- As Mick Molloy identified in his far too short-lived late-night TV show, ANYTHING said by Dave Callan is funny.
- Hearing Dave Callan's voice reminds me of the time he attempted to pick up Rhys at a nightclub, which makes me laugh even more.
