Brilliant Ad... But probably goes over the heads of you US folks :)

Haha... it's Cockney rhyming slang: Hank Marvin = Starving.

But, I care... I Think its GREAT!

Put it this way... The ad has been running on UK TV for about a month...

& I've already bought 5 Guitars... IT WORKS!!!

More specifically playing off the phrase "Starvin' Marvin".

hahah nice i aint seen that one before

nope, nothing to do with south park/starvin marvin. hank marvin is a 60's guitarist who's name rhymes with starving.
another example is a "Richard" is a "3rd" level Degree pass

How many Red Guitars have you bought???

I bought 5 ! :upsidedow Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee........

No red ones but i did buy a clear varnish one :)

When I'm hungry I'm "Starvin' Hagler" :xomunch

i like starvin...

Cliff Richard's and the Shadows are they still alive. Its been 18 years since i left the UK i should go back one day and catch up. I bet fucking East Enders is still running and Coronation Street ?

Richard the Third =Turd
Plates of Meat = Feet
Apples and Pairs= Stairs
North and South = Mouth

Cockneys usually only say the first word though... so "Shut your north" means "Shut your mouth". And if you ask a mate "How's the trouble?", you're inquiring about his wife (Trouble & Strife = Wife).

I grew up on a council estate in south-east London, and pretty much everyone there talked like this.

I cant afford 5 guitars

I've forgotten what they were selling already.
