Let's see you do it then tough guy! :P And what do you mean slow motion? His sheer masculinity slowed time, that wasn't the video! That's how REAL men do dangerous things, we slow time down with our testosterone level!
YOU GOTTA WORK IT HARD TO BE A SOLO MAN YOU'RE GONNA TAKE THE LEAD AND MAKE THE OTHERS FOLLOW YOU GOTTA KEEP IN SHAPE TO BE A SOLO MAN AND WHEN YOU GOT A THIRST FOR IT *1 metre slow mo drop* YOU GOTTA CRACK A SOLO!!!
This song is in my top 10 favorite commercial songs of all time list. I love how they replayed the clip from :12 at the end; It's like they couldn't believe he actually didn't flip the raft over!
after 3 hours in the heat mowing, weeding, snipping the garden i came inside and smashed a can of Solo, must be 20 years since ive had one. She went down a treat. Fun fact: the can had a 50 year celebration logo / solo man kayaking picture on it, complete w moustache. "You gotta cracka SOLO!"
Sadly testosterone levels in men are dropping. I think this drink should be prescribed as medicine by all doctors to boost T levels and motivate people to get out of their house to do dangerous stuff and be macho.
i used to love this part you gotta push it hard to be a solo man, you gotta take the lead and make the others follow. etc etc and when you gotta thirst for it da da da da hehe ( i love this bit) sort of like 6 million dollar man da nanananana hehe
The most scary thing about these Solo ads from the eighties was the fact that the "hero" was supposed to look so cool. Hard to do when there are bigger rapids in a bathtub :-)
This is the song for a Sigma Male. He drinks only AFTER the task is DONE. Not before. That shows that only tough people choose this drink. Normally an ad tries to convince you that AFTER you drink the softdrink are you able to perform better and win. Not this one. It tells you that it's a reward after a tough man has succeeded. That tough people drink this because they have confidence in THEMSELVES not a product. The product is merely the reward after you win. If you don't, you blame yourself. Compare that to Red Bull which tells you it makes you fly. F that. Drinking it means you can CHEAT. If you win, it's because the product helped you. So its saying you need a drink to win. I think it is important to note these differences because Solo is the drink for cool people with honor and the other products lie to you by saying you can't do anything unless you buy the drink. IE you are loser unless you give them money.
bloody oath, Light on the Fizz so you can slam it down fast, and i actually agreed with that, later in life i learnt that it was lighter on fizz than coke or lemonade and it had a bigger opening so you could actually SLAM IT DOWN FAST
***** hehe, interesting, You know what's funny, considering it was the 90's and i was born in 73. i don't know if it was that .... a) i didn't drink solo until the 90's or b) i just didn't notice the bigger opening i mean. for christ sake, i remember drinks like Tang TAB Mello Yello Kirks Pub Squash and beers like KB and i remember when we used to use the tubes of tyres at bondi beach as floaties hehe so i'm not sure why i can't remember that Solo had a bigger opening at one point weird but thanks for clarifying
Martin Kuliza i was born in 74 and i only remember this because thats when i started drinking beer hehe, yeah they were advertised as BIG MOUTH cans or something.
***** LMFAO hehe yeah that's right, every kid tried a beer before the age of 5 back then HEY. hehe my dad was a fan of KB and on occassion FOSTERS i tried it once.. Tasted like shit hehe Dad said "Let that be a lesson to you, Don't touch dads beer" what did you try
That's life - after spending 2 years in a Thai prison for selling drugs 5 months ago the Solo Man was arrested again for selling drugs (yama ice aka yaba) and awaits now trial in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. This time he's looking for 3-7 years behind bars... www.khmer440.com/k/2017/07/solo-man-mark-coutelas-arrested-on-ice-charges/
@tech9803 and kids did the equivalent with a jump from a 30 cm high jimmied bike jump made from a milk crate and a plank of wood that was 20cm too skinny.
imagine solo man, barry (the cougar) dawson and fully loaded man up against chuck norris and mcgyver in an outback wilderness team challenge-who would emerge victorious?!?!?
You gotta take the lead and make the others ____? Extra tangy lemon solo. _______ so you can slam it down fast. Can anyone tell me the missing lyrics? Thx
Solo is totally marketed at men. My guess is, guys gotta drink something if they can't drink beer, and this is it... not a lot of fizz so you can slam it down fast like a VB or a Carlton

Love the ultra-dramatic slo-mo, like we're supposed to be awe-struck.
"You've faced the challenge...of a 60cm waterfall."
Let's see you do it then tough guy! :P And what do you mean slow motion? His sheer masculinity slowed time, that wasn't the video! That's how REAL men do dangerous things, we slow time down with our testosterone level!
😅
That was a great comment 😂👍
@@hashnotall6263 Having been on the wrong end of CPR I can confirm this comment and it is not that far from the truth.
That was running in real time. Your feeble meek brain couldn't handle the awesomeness and started buffering.
YOU GOTTA WORK IT HARD TO BE A SOLO MAN
YOU'RE GONNA TAKE THE LEAD AND MAKE THE OTHERS FOLLOW
YOU GOTTA KEEP IN SHAPE TO BE A SOLO MAN
AND WHEN YOU GOT A THIRST FOR IT
*1 metre slow mo drop*
YOU GOTTA CRACK A SOLO!!!
I demand the release of the full 3+ minute version of this song
It’s just this video but he’s stuck on that ledge for another 2 and a half minutes
This is a classic 1980s advertisement. I absolutely LOVE that song. Going strong, Solo Man!
Oh boy. First time I've seen this since I was a kid in the 80s. Reminiscent shivers...
I knew immediately from the song that the man would have a moustache.
I am proud to be born in 1981 and be an 80's child.
This ad has more testosterone than 2021 globally.
This song is in my top 10 favorite commercial songs of all time list. I love how they replayed the clip from :12 at the end; It's like they couldn't believe he actually didn't flip the raft over!
Loved this ad as a little girl. I wanted to be the Solo Man so I could drink a soft drink like that 😂
Haha Gold! Your comment put a smile on my face.
Just played this to my young kids reminding them of commercials in the good old days!!
I'm having multiple flashbacks with watching all these 80's ads on youtube, I think my brain will explode
One of the best ads ever .. Go solo man lol
This ad is absolutely beautiful in the way it's dramatic presentation has absolutely nothing to do with the product 🙂
That song needed a solo.
after 3 hours in the heat mowing, weeding, snipping the garden i came inside and smashed a can of Solo, must be 20 years since ive had one. She went down a treat. Fun fact: the can had a 50 year celebration logo / solo man kayaking picture on it, complete w moustache. "You gotta cracka SOLO!"

Luv it! Back when being a man meant a solo man
I remember school chums deliberately dribbling this on themselves during recess and spending the rest of the day in sticky regret.
It was too fizzy for me. It used to get up my nose and make me sneeze and burn my tongue. I could never "slam it down fast".
I remember when this was called Pinto in WA. ALways thought this guy looked like Ian Botham.
love it! gotta crack a solo!
You've gotta crack a Solo!
I cracked a few solos back in the day hoping to sprout a mo like that but it never happened, until I reached menopause!!
Hard solo brought me here
Watched this while drinking solo.
Anyone else watching this after the article about the solo man getting jailed in Thailand?
lol yes....now he is jailed in Cambodia...so came to c who he was
You can quote what you see!
What a man!
Now thats a classic ad. They hooked me. I was a Solo man 4 life, until i got Lifted
I grew a moustache just watching this
These adds got more intense as the years went on LOL!
I really want a Solo right now
I fancy a solo right about now
You gotta crack a solo..love
I wish this was a real song
Who’s here because of the new solo ads
Best ad ever
Sam Worthington brought me here 😄
gotta dig that song and that ad. real men doing real men things :) like kayaking down a waterfall, and drinking solo.
i used to love this part
you gotta push it hard to be a solo man, you gotta take the lead and make the others follow.
etc etc
and when you gotta thirst for it da da da da hehe ( i love this bit)
sort of like 6 million dollar man da nanananana hehe
Big up my main gal helena howeeeeeee in da house.....keep teaching, keep preaching! REspect
Remember that. When it was OK to me Manly
This song should win an Oscar
KWACKAAA SOLOOOOoooo?!! Luv it!!!
Love the Moe and a real action man song from the 80's.
everything was better in the 80's!!
Surely this amazing Ad was the inspiration for Orgazmo's 'Now your a man' theme song..
The guy was a school teacher in the mid eighties...he is an American guy...can't remember his name but a mate knows who this is
I love Australian ad's and I come From Australia
Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Ursula Andress and director Richard Lester did a commercial for this soft drink in the seventies....Anyone got it?
They said on the radio the other day that he's Joel Creasey's dad
Mark Kelly Joel creasey’s dad is in one from 1983, a mountain climbing one. As said in Joel Creasey’s memoir
this is him, Terry Creasy..
The most scary thing about these Solo ads from the eighties was the fact that the "hero" was supposed to look so cool.
Hard to do when there are bigger rapids in a bathtub :-)
The commercial is dope!!! Pure dopeness!
came here to see who joel creasys legendary dad is
Now I want a solo.
Song available on I tunes
Yeah I dare say that's where they got the idea from. Though I remember one where they go over a water fall.
I think that is Doug Parkinson singing the background vocal in this ad
"A man's drink" on the label; try putting that on any product these days
This is the song for a Sigma Male. He drinks only AFTER the task is DONE. Not before. That shows that only tough people choose this drink. Normally an ad tries to convince you that AFTER you drink the softdrink are you able to perform better and win. Not this one. It tells you that it's a reward after a tough man has succeeded.

HARD solo
bloody oath, Light on the Fizz so you can slam it down fast, and i actually agreed with that, later in life i learnt that it was lighter on fizz than coke or lemonade and it had a bigger opening so you could actually SLAM IT DOWN FAST
+Martin Kuliza they never had bigger openings until the 90s when most of the drinks came with the bigger opening
***** hehe, interesting, You know what's funny, considering it was the 90's and i was born in 73.
i don't know if it was that ....
a) i didn't drink solo until the 90's
or
b) i just didn't notice the bigger opening
i mean. for christ sake, i remember drinks like
Tang
TAB
Mello Yello
Kirks Pub Squash
and beers like KB
and i remember when we used to use the tubes of tyres at bondi beach as floaties hehe
so i'm not sure why i can't remember that Solo had a bigger opening at one point
weird
but thanks for clarifying
Martin Kuliza i was born in 74 and i only remember this because thats when i started drinking beer hehe, yeah they were advertised as BIG MOUTH cans or something.
***** LMFAO hehe
yeah that's right, every kid tried a beer before the age of 5 back then HEY. hehe
my dad was a fan of KB and on occassion FOSTERS
i tried it once.. Tasted like shit hehe
Dad said "Let that be a lesson to you, Don't touch dads beer"
what did you try
Martin Kuliza worse. emu export and VB were the only choices back then, both are shit lol, still drink them till this day tho lol!
Too good😳

Fuck a solo is so good to drink when taking pizza deliveries
@HorseWithNoUsername Thanks
DID HE MAKE IT??.. when he was about to go down that raging half a metre waterfall, right before it went slo mo, I got scared and closed my eyes..
How do I work it hard and crack a solo?
I can't see anything on my Solo can that tells me.
Maybe I need to go squeeze shake squeeze shake...
@peerless77 ditto, priceless stuff.
I wasn’t born
"Slam it down fast"
@tech9803 and kids did the equivalent with a jump from a 30 cm high jimmied bike jump made from a milk crate and a plank of wood that was 20cm too skinny.
Anyone know the name of this awesome singer?
Is this stuff still available?
How it feels to drink solo
I guess the solo man would be considered toxic masculinity these days.
I am going to buy a case of this stuff, and throw it on-stage to the next concert I attend as a cue to CRACK A SOLO!
Hey bro I know it’s been 12 years and all, but have you done it?
@@samuelfromkyck yeah I'm surprised you didn't hear about it! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thom_Yorke/crack-a-solo-incident
@@Enddor I’m very proud of you my dude. You are a true solo man
hah the caterss looked for some tassie paddlers for the part and my dad was one.
Chauvinist! It used to be “it’s a man’s drink” I drank it too! Haha
I love the singer... it sounds like Matt Stone/Trey Parker being douche bags but it's 50x funnier 'cos it's real.
Time to crack a Solo, FUCK YEAH
I wonder when they got rid of the "extra tangy" on the drink?
It use to be Pinto then they changed it and pinto just
Disappeared.
boom
imagine solo man, barry (the cougar) dawson and fully loaded man up against chuck norris and mcgyver in an outback wilderness team challenge-who would emerge victorious?!?!?
this was Terry Creasy..
Make a full version of the song already you bastards
it's considered a masculine drink but it's "light on the fizz"?
But so you can slamit down fast , Solo !
he was recently arrested in Cambodia for dealing ICE...... no shit, google it...
You need to chuck a solo
Almost more manly that Lt Jangles..
that’s my uncle lhhahaha
so u can slam it down fast!
You gotta take the lead and make the others ____?
Extra tangy lemon solo. _______ so you can slam it down fast. Can anyone tell me the missing lyrics? Thx
follow..
Light on the fizz...
@kereopaNZM Agreed fully loaded man is hilarious, but you do realise that he is a pisstake/tribute to the 80's solo man ads right...?
Solo is totally marketed at men. My guess is, guys gotta drink something if they can't drink beer, and this is it... not a lot of fizz so you can slam it down fast like a VB or a Carlton
Everything in the 80s was better.
sus
How the f%ck did I get here ?
Nice subliminal advertising
Is this Trey Parker singing?
