Animals and adverts do not always mix, these days, quite rightly, they rarely do. But something, perhaps originating from regular chimps’ tea parties at London Zoo, seemed to gel and the idea depicted in this iconic ad came to fruition; so when a chimp, carrying out removals asks whether you know the piano’s on his foot, the riposte: “you hum it, I’ll sing it” seems entirely appropriate.

Class ad – remember it from the first time round!!
wow i aint sin tis 4 yrs its stil vry gud
Remember this one from my own childhood but looks very dated now.
Could watch it once, probably wouldn’t watch it again.
I have to disagree with the other comments – I don’t like this ad at all (cruelty to animals & all that). Glad we’ve moved on with the times…
Showing my age, but I remember this one when it was on the TV – I was vvvvv young! Still one of my fave PGTips ads!
Great memories
I remember these adds way back i wish they’d bring them back classic!
Yep…classic!
That’s a proper advert! Absolute classic
What a classic. Nuff said
This is my favourite ad that there has ever been, most memorable.
Nothing beats the Monkeys. Best idea for a PG tips ad.
brilliant, they don’t make them as good as that anymore
I remember watching that when I was a kid, and loved seeing the chimps! I prefered them to the knitted character that we get now
great brings back memories
Love all things PG

A classic, simple idea well executed and repeated throughout the playgrounds and workplaces of the country.
Like this one a lot, but I prefer the new knitted monkey ones, especially the take-off of the orgasm scene from “When Harry Met Sally”.
