'Be a man!" Lots of ads for proper alpha meatheads. I love the absolute unit in the Road to Strength ad. Like a Terry Gilliam cartoon. And I'm pretty sure the name Lionel Strongfort is made up.

@Richard_Littler "That's what you'd say, but that wouldn't wash with Geoff. No, he'd like a bit of pleading. Add spice to it. In fact, he'd probably tell you what he was going to do before he did it. "I'm going to pull your head off." "Oh no, please, don't pull my head off." "I'm going to pull your head off, because I don't like your head.""
