Well, that was terrifying. Practically gave me two strokes!

Thank you for posting it.

Slogan: "Who Vespa eats apples".
Today it wouldn't work, young people eat little fruit and lots of technology ... they are constipated.

Sorry, I don't understand spoken English so I didn't understand the reason for that cruelty in the video; can you explain it to me? Thanks

Supposed to be funny. To the degree there is any point other than silly images, it is supposed to imply that Haines brand of cotton underwear is soft and comfortable.

I am an English speaker and I don't get it either.

I think the video is a parody of authentic advertisements.

But I believe the point that Tortoise was trying to make is that Vespas are cherished, while Chinese scooters have so little reputation that they are thrown off a cliff for sport.

Google translate: Sono un madrelingua inglese e non capisco neanche.

Penso che il video sia una parodia di pubblicità autentiche.

Ma credo che il punto che Tortoise stava cercando di sottolineare sia che le Vespe siano apprezzate, mentre gli scooter cinesi hanno così poca reputazione da essere gettati da una scogliera per lo sport.

Yes ... now I have grasped the nuance.

... and now I also understand the irony hidden in publishing the clip, really funny. However language aside, I have fun and I find this forum more informative than most of the Italian ones. Really...

Yes, and don't squeeze the Charmin.
