  • Extreme long shot for people that know VHS covers

    hi all

    i'm trying to figure out the name of a film (or it could have even been a stand up comedy or something) that me and my sister used to see in video stores back in the 80s (in the UK), when we were kids.

    the box just had a close up of a guys face, i'm sure he was smiling, and he had an ice cream cone stuck on his nose.

    i'm afraid that's all the info i can give, it was probably between 1985 and 1989 that we saw this VHS cover, and it couldn't have been that rare cos we used to look for it in every video rental place, and always found it without any trouble.

    this has been bugging me for years and i've hunted google images hundreds of times trying different things, i'm pretty sure it doesn't have "ice cream" or anything like that in the title.

      is the VHS cover actually that though, cos i've seen a poster of Comfort and Joy online with the cone on a guys nose (doesn't look like i recall), but when i've searched for the VHS cover online it looks nothing like that.

        yes the vhs is that way with the cone on the fellas nose mate.

        there are 2 different thorn emi vhs releases one has the cone on his nose and the other does not.

            sorry i cant mate.
            no phone.
            the other sleeve has a pic of two men one wearing a black ballaclava

            he is also wearing a black long sleeved jumper .

            this sleeve is the alternative rarer sleeve for this film on thorn emi mate.
