This advert about Bully Brown featured in many kid's comics throughout the 1960s; and was eventually so well known in the UK that it was successfully parodied by a teacher who was author of a school revue in my VI form years (he probably pinched it from Benny Hill); then further twice plagiarized by me for a medical revue and a hospital Christmas show.
The parody version consisted simply of enacting the advert on stage, up to the penultimate line:
"I gave up smoking when I saw what it did to my Dad's chest."
After which the triumphant hero Jim turns to the curvaceous girl and says:
"Come along Dad."
Never fails.
