LISTER: I tell you one thing: I’ve been to a parallel universe, I’ve seen time running backwards, I’ve played pool with planets, and I’ve given birth to twins, but I never thought in my entire life I’d taste an edible Pot Noodle.

I’ve yet to find one. They make the contents out of the same stuff they make the pots.

In defense of some Americans (cause these days we tend to get bashed at the drop of a hat) I didn't find this one amusing and I am American. I get the idea that "pot" can also mean weed (meh...dumb. *yawn*). But we use the word "pot" (kettle) in the states like most English speaking countries. So its still quite a stretch to find the humor. potluck, potpourri, potholder, potpie, etc. Sheesh... people are pathetically quick to bash the US these days.

While a lot of these things are genuinely humorous, the 'pot' joke is tenuous at best, given that the noodles are clearly in a pot. In the words of another ad slogan, 'it does exactly what it says on the tin'. Next thing you know they’ll have a picture of Mr Brain’s Faggots (an actual UK product in case you weren’t aware).
