Weetabix have always tried to create interesting and funny adverts but none have ever beaten their 1991 Weetabix advert featuring Robin Hood.
This Weetabix advert plays on the fact that Robin Hood always managed to beat the evil Sheriff of Nottingham by Robin Hood actually being defeated in this advert.
The advert starts with Robin Hood riding with his band of men to free his lady from the Sheriffs tower only to see the Sheriff of Nottingham eating Weetabix which makes him retreat.
Not only is the advert funny because of the story line, it is made even more amusing by the accompanying song which is below with the advert.
Robin Hood, Robin Hood with his band of men,
Feared by the bad, loved by the good,
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Robin Hood,
Robin Hood, Robin Hood could be in a fix
Robin Hood, Robin Hood spies the Weetabix
Does he retreat back to Sherwood,
Coz he should, coz he should, coz he should,

Rather than "coz he should" it's "(of) course he should"
With the "of" omitted, obviously.
"(Of)course he does"
