Golden Gaytime Ice Cream Has Amazing Name, Even More Amazing Ad (VIDEO)

The Internet has known about this hilariously-named Australian ice cream bar for a while, but when we saw it on Best Week Ever today we knew it was having a renaissance of sorts, and we couldn't be happier.

Then again, we don't really need an excuse to post this wonderfully 80s commercial with its hot air balloons and magically appearing elephants. The insinuating name gets even funnier when you see the slow removal of the wrapper on the phallic bar. But the best part is that even if the ice cream wasn't called "Gaytime," we could still watch this commercial and laugh over and over again.

Sorry Gaytime - but FleshJack has made having a 'gaytime on your own' quite easy.

These ice-creams are the BEST, shame I'm Vegan now. Maybe it's because I grew up with them, but I don't find the name that funny? Gay meant happy and joyous, many years ago..?

This may be the best proof so far that The Huffington Post is made by 14 year old boys.

Ahh makes me miss home. Where companies are not afraid to bend to PC ideology and giggling innuendo. Reminds me of a letter I got from Equality California (a gay rights group who I have donated to). They stated that the term homosexual was not to be used when describing 'gays'. Language is wonderful thing. Better not mention the name of cheese product back home either.

Eek.

Well, at least they got one thing right. It IS hard to have a gay time on your own.

Thank God for Golden Gaytime Ice Cream, making having gaytime on your own just slightly more attainable for all.

I love this icecream!!! During summer I eat it all the time - no other icecream can compare.

For the Americans thinking of an ice-cream covered in bread in Australia biscuit=cookie (not that thing they try to give away with fried chicken).

oh haha "gay," isn't that funny. making fun of gay people is soooooo funny. did you run out of polish jokes to tell ?

You twit.

oh. ouch. you really wounded me with that rapier-sharp comeback.

gay in this instance doesn't mean homosexual. Kind of like how f.a.g isn't a derogatory term in some places in the world as well, but is a cigarette or kindling for a fire. Probably why Poyda called you a twit.

They still play this ad here during the Summer.And the ice cream is not that great.

They're right. It is hard to have a gay time on your own.

That's why we need gay marriage.

Show this commercial to a stoner and he would do anything for that thing.

Golden Gaytime is still a big favorite in the leather bars.

This ad is a failure in so many ways, but I got to say, the ice cream looked pretty tasty.

I've grown up with them my friend...I applaud the fact they've never changed the name and it's as delicious as it ever was! The Chocolate Gaytime is even better...

Does the chocolate gaytime have toffee in the center? Do I have to go to the other side of the globe to partake?
