Robert Burns brought back to life for bold 'new' poems in cheeky Irn-Bru adverts

Scotland's finest rhymer has been brought back to life in a series of new Irn-Bru adverts.

Robert Burns is the star of the soft drinks giant's cheeky new online videos.

Best known for their satirical adverts, AG Barr has enlisted Ayrshire's favourite son for their latest campaign.

And while the short clips aren't as close to the bone as the famous drink producer's other ads, the cheeky element of the video is all there.

The premise of the advert is that Rabbie is performing one of his "lesser known works" — 'Tae a Cat' and 'A Party's a Party'.

The alternative poems have been well received online ahead of Burns night on Tuesday, January 25.

Here are the two poems penned by Irn-Bru's version of the Bard:

Tae a Cat

"Pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy;

"You really make me chuffed.

"But leave another turd behind ma sofa;

"And I'm gonna have you stuffed."

A Party's a Party

"There are nae rules to ma wee party;

"There's nae need to be arty farty.

"I'm flattered if you learn my lines;

"But if you don't, well that's just fine.

"Tae a haggis or nae to haggis;

"It's really up to you.

"Just toast me on the night wi a glass of Irn-Bru."
