But surely if it was ''They're Tired'' they would just say ''they're tired''. Why say ''oh'' like it's a big shocker?
It wouldn't be a punchline either. The whole point is that people say it about kids all the time (overtired I mean). It's like 'terrible twos' or something.
It's like for instance if there was an advert with 2 year old kids going mental and the parents nodded to each other and said ''terrible twos'' it would make sense but if they said ''oh they're two'' it would be pathetic.

i would presume they're saying it in the same way people say "oh dear" complete with rolling eyes smilie

why would three kids just come out with the one word "overtired" that doesn't make any sense

because the kids are pretending to be adults. Bloody hell next stop rocket science! The kids are pretending to be adults and adults of children would look at one another and roll their eyes and say ''overtired'' in a situation like that and they would all know that in that one word there was a thousand explanations. For example if you ask a perfectly reasonable quetion like ''would you like a drink'' to your child that is bright red and sweating on a bouncy castle and they say NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and start crying and screaming like the banshee you know they are over tired. Honestly it's funny how the mums get it and the men without children hve to have is explained over and over

you miss the point that the advert was made by men and the simple fact that the kids say OH THEY'RE TIRED

and if it was women they would look at one another and say ''stupid bloody stubborn men who never listen and therefore have to have the same basic instruction repeated to them over and over again, they should all be taken outside and shot''

Agreed 100% on this one

The whole advert doesnt make sense when I was a kid theres no way my dad would've allowed me and 2 kids from down the street (complete strangers even) to clamber all over our brand new car poking about in the "overhead storage" and putting sticky fingers all over the "glass roof"

Also if you listen to how he says it, if he was saying 'overtired', he would have said it much more quickly, without dragging it out the way he does. By the way he says it, it's clearly at least 2 words, or 3 hence 'oh, they're tired'.

Right well I've found the advert online HERE and it is blatantly overtired.

Blimey, are people still talking about this?

Can't we discuss less contentious issues such as the maniacs slaughtering each other (again) in the Middle East?



If it'll help to resolve this debate, I'll offer this olive branch (and you can stick it anywhere you like, except up me).

I humbly concede that in the advert in question, the kids can clearly be both heard and seen pronouncing "overtired" by all people who have poor eyesight, terrible hearing and worse reasoning.



But this debate is oh, so tired!!

Ah so this thwarted desire to mess-about with mechanical objects, was sublimated in later life into a cruel perversion to mess-about with animals and treat them as objects.

And no, you can't use me as a pin cusion. Acupuncture? No thanks.

The only Chinese remedy I need is a some boiled rice in curry sauce. Washed down with a nice pint or six of (Hippo blood!!)

Unless there are two versions of this advert, which I wouldn't put past the poncey chinless, conceited fuggwits of the advertising industry, then yes, having heard the advert again yesterday.

It quite clearly is OVERTIRED.

Happy now!?

I admit, I WAS WRONG!!

I can hear it now. The women folk are right. Must be something about the sound of young children's voices, men are just tuned out from hearing them properly.

"Dad, dad, can I..."
"Ask your mother!"

The way the kids say "overtired" in the ad, or at least when I heard it again is so flat. Like bad actors. Really bad actors who cannot enunciate a line properly. Perhaps the kids didn't get the meaning/context, or even understand the word. Really bad acting.

A bit like Judi Dench.

But if you think I am going to admit to being wrong about that wretch, you can go take a flying f---

One admission of error per six months is all I am willing to admit. Be thankful for small mercies (and big percys. But that's another matter entirely!)

Well lots of people wouldn't so

Have to say though, your posts make me laugh so much!

Thanks Jezi.

Think I may edit my post though.

Unless Finchy's been running a book on this controversy, with Excel Worksheets as evidence of everyone's interpretation.

It wasn't curiosity that killed the cat, but honesty.

As the huge mutant mummy rat irately asked the well-fed, reclining cat if he had eaten her missing babies...

And the cat said, "I cannot tell a lie, 'twas I."

I was too, OVERFED to escape up the nearest tree.

Still, another eight lives left...

don't trust him jezi

no man admits he's wrong unless its to get in a womans pants
