The Cilit Bang ad was made in mockery of US adverts.

When we see the purple colour we know it's an ad for Cadburys.

British television adverts are renowned for their humour.

The spec savers advert featuring the sheep shearer is advert gold.

The tango ads were actually banned as school kids copying in the playground 😂

Much of the point of these ads was to make them stick in your memory. That's why they don't really tell you what they're for (generally) until the end. You spend the entire ad wondering what the hell it's about, find out at the end and then you might talk to your friends about it later. Pretty much meme's before meme's became well known.

As a Brit, I can confirm we have had some wild ads. Sometimes they can be more entertaining than whatever program they interrupt 😂

10:34 The guy in the Shreddies Nana advert was Leslie Phillips, a comic actor who often played woman chasing cads. His catch phrase was 'Ding dong!' whenever he saw an attractive girl.

Specsavers is a chain of dispensing opticians found throughout the UK, and almost as soon as the slogan "Should have gone to Specsavers" began to be used, it has been synonymous with people in odd situations and even in accidents, where it implies they went there mistakenly because they couldn't see properly!

This Tango advert was the bane of the school yard... *tap on shoulder* SLAP "Hahah, you've been Tango'd."

Crusha is a syrup added to milk to make a milkshake.

You understand the naked guy thought he was going into a sauna ? Specsavers = cheap eyeglasses.

I can see how you connected to the 'cilit bang' advert as it was made to mock the American style.

Brits are not afraid of nudity.

The Cilit Bang adverts are a mockery of bad adverts. Tango still make odd ads and the Go Compare guy is still around on their ads.

Nice work Tyler! Specsavers is a nationwide chain of opticians, They've done plenty of great ads. However my favourite ads are from the late 70's and 80's, Hamlet cigars, the ads were brilliant!

The Tango ad became hugely popular with kids and they had to change the ad as kids were constantly slapping each other at school and bursting eardrums.

"I've no idea what SpecSavers is" he says as theres a massive post it note on screen talking about "free varifocal lenses"...never change Tyler 😂

Best way to describe the Tango is imagining eating a chilli pepper but not knowing it is super hot - at the moment the heat hits you, you have that moment of shock and "wow that's hot". Where Tango tends to be a bit more sharper / citrus like than most drinks, the slap around the face is supposed to represent the moment that sharpness hits you.

you need to react to all the tango adverts and the john smiths adverts, they are the best adverts we had

The first advert for Crusher. When the cat is singing the song it says it’s for Milkshake.

A lot of the bizarre ads were intentionally created that way as a conversation piece. "Hey Bob, did ya see that dumb advert of the orange dude slapping a guy who was drinking some Tango?" It gets the everyday person to promote it, plus it leaves a lasting impression which means you remember the product. I haven't watched TV in over a decade and it's the same for my Dad but sometimes he'll just say or yell out a random advert like the Cillet Bang one etc from 10+ years ago and we all laugh, meanwhile the kids don't have a damn clue and think we are lunatics lol.

The best Cadbury's advert is the one with the Gorilla 🦍

Specsavers is a company that tests your eyes, and sells you glasses when your eyes are obviously classed as "faulty" So - the joke is that this guy thought he had gone into the sauna - but had accidentally stepped into Gordon Ramsay's kitchen next door because of his poor eyesight

I loved the Peter Serafinowicz Cillit Bang parody on his sketch show back in the day.

Yeah- the Cillit Bang adverts were a direct mocking of US style direct 'Buy Our Stuff Now!' commercials. That is absolutely NOT what UK ads are usually like. That was the point. 'Specsavers' the clue is in the name - especially as the restaurant kitchen one actually listed a special offer for varifocals, which made it clear....(no extra pun intended!)

It's an interesting subject. Advertising companies aren't stupid - they know their audience. Advertisements can be seen as a telling window into the broad national psyche, and I think a comparison between US and UK ads bears this out. Ads that we in the UK find hilarious, leave Tyler confused and bemused.

my favourite Chewits advret was when godzilla starts out eating a tower block in the city, then discovers chewits instead - "Chewits, chewier than a 10 story block of flats"

There are a lot of rules about the claims you can make about products in the UK.If their product is not really consequentially better than the alternatives, they end up producing ads that will stick in your mind rather than risk punitive measures taken against them for false advertising.

Pleeeeeeaassseeee, watch the whole ad, then talk, you'll get better context!!!

You wouldn't steal a TV, not in them days tvs were so big it took 3 of you to move it half an inch

The Orange Tango man advert was one of the funniest adverts I saw growing up. It is a great shame it was banned. Luckily, I was never "tangoed" in school, so I couldn't really work out what all the fuss was about.

I know you're not the brightest spark from the grinder, but being confused by milkshakes, orange soda, steamrooms and eye-glasses really is fun to watch. 😂

10:30 TANGO AD WAS BANNED WITHIN HOURS OF FIRST BROADCAST - The day after this advertisement was aired, schoolchildren were slapping other schoolchildren and shouting 'You've been Tangoed'. The creators of this contraversial advert refilmed and inserted a new sequence which showed 'Orange Man' kissing his victim instead of slapping him.

Thanks, Tyler. That was a lot of fun. Peace

I wish you'd get to the end of the ad before commenting. Then you'll know what the ad was about.

The boy in the cadburys ad just made a tiktok where he proved he could still do the eyebrows 😂

The way I see advertising, you can take one of two routes: you make an ad telling potential customers every detail about your product, or you make an ad that people will remember. British advertising tends to go for the latter. We might not know what the product is or if we need it, but we'll remember the name of it and it's slogan until our deathbed!

Some brands have developed their commercials around a theme over many years, and for cadburys that is the royal purple. In fact, nowadays, they could have 20 seconds of complete silence with a purple background and people would know it's their advert!

The 1970s adverts for smash instant mashed potato were hysterical a must watch

The Tango ads are brilliant 😂

You said the word, “memorable”, no other comment needed.

The really, really iconic ones date back to the 70's and 80's. Although the slogans from of the modern ones have become part of British vernacular. "Simples", "Should have gone to Specsavers", "Does what it says on the tin", etc. It sounds like the AOL one is voiced by Sir John Hurt, who voiced a couple of terrifying but iconic government AIDS awareness ads c. 1986.

IT Crowd. The opening sequence of Moss and the German, episode hilariously spoofs the 'pirating is theft' advert. Even if you don't watch/react to the whole episode, you should, after this, do a reaction to the opening sequence.

Great reaction 👍. There is a full suite of hilarious Tango ads to watch and react to.

Funny thing sbout the Anti Piracy ad is that they literally used pirated music in them.

If you think there is nudity and sexuality is higher in british ads, wait until you see European.

Here's a suggestion Tyler - how about LISTENING instead of second-guessing before the ad is even halfway through?

Best adverts were way back. The Smash adverts, Cinzano adverts with Leonard Rossiter & Joan Collins, the Hamlet advert with Gregor Fisher. Probably the best are the Irn Bru adverts especially the parody of the Snowman.

The Cilit bang one that feels familiar to you, really stood out to us when it aired - as that is not our style of advert. It was making fun of the style of infomercials that you are used to.

Specsavers have lots of ads where it's about going to the wrong place because you don't have glasses. Snickers Joan Collins just being her Dynasty evil self in a Snickers Ad. ShakenVac Is a classic.

When I was in NY at Christmas, every advert was for either some kind of insurance or some kind of medication.

While I worked at sea these ads for tango came out at the same time as we crew were issued with orange boilersuits with company flag logo .so we got the mickey taken a few times 😅😅

Great video Tyler as usual Specsavers is an opticians where you can buy glasses

Oh my god I remember how hyped I was to see the smiler ads, idk what it was but they were just so cool to me

Peter Serafinowicz does some parody ads in his short lived sketch show based on the Cilit Bang ones. Look up 'Kitchen Gun' and 'Toilet Grenade'

Best specsavers ad had to be the one with the old shepherd . . .

Wouldn't have classed the video piracy ads as particularly iconic

'You wouldn't steal a car' I would if I could download it

I'm not sure Tyler got the mockery of hackneyed football commentaries in the Tango ad.

Specsaver! Optician, eye tests and new glasses. I was there for an eye test the other day 😊. And now I’m waiting for my new glasses to arrive 👍

NO SHREDDIES!? I always thought they were American. Great to wake up to your content.

I used to love the Red Bull adds, and also one from Vodafone… where a guy is in the jungle and he falls sleep… and when he wakes up… a snake was crawling up his leg and was passing though his genitals… so he quickly gets his phone out, takes a picture of the snake, and you can see on the screen it says… not poisonous… the guy makes a face of relief… then you can the screen comes back on… and it says.. constrictor… his face changed again… I used to laugh either way that one!!!

I like that Specsavers ad before it said seams like forever.

Back in school I remember I remember some kid got his eardrums popped after someone tried to Tango him

6:49 - STOP SHOUTING, BARRY. - The Cillit Bang ad became a hot topc for exactly the reasson you mentioned. British TV didn't usually broadcast this type of ad. It was so different from the norm that it got parodied a lot.

SpecSavers is a chain of opticians.

I wasn't pirating movies back in the day, because I wasn't downloading them. Just recording from TV to VHS.

Tango is the drink and when you sip it’s like a slap in the face

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! I love it. Tyler watches Barry Scott and has the gall to say he has an annoying voice. Pots and kettles Tyler, pots and kettles. 🤣🤣🤣

The great thing about that piracy ad is they got sued for using the music without permission.

i haven't thought about coco pops straws for decades oh my lord.

Shreddies are also available in Canada and are wonderful, especially the honey version. Chimo

That AOL ad has aged like milk 😂😂

I thought the smash advert with the aliens might have been here lol

25:09 It was scarier when I went on the opening ride after that girl lost her legs. We were all terrified tbh

Opera singer is now on 18 years as representative for go compare bur now it is the real guy who plays the opera singer doing the ad.

You're laughing at the piracy notice but happy to see ads where the music has been tuned out ...???

The Cadbury eyebrow boy is apparently still eyebrow dancing on TikTok - a clip of him shew up on my phone the other day. Shreddies are like Rice Chex.

Rowan Atkinson , who played Mr Bean was also in a series of adverts for Barclaycard . Check them out .

Did the Smiler 7 times about a week before that poor girl lost her leg in that horrible accident.

Oh Christ. Suddenly getting flashbacks of the rapping "recycle your small electrical itemx" cat caught in a psychedelic whirlpool. Won't be sleeping tonight...

You should react to a compilation of Tango adverts lol

The turn “you’ve been tangoed “ is now used when people have bad fake tan and look orange!

The music used in the Smiler advert is Norwegian; "In the hall of the mountain king (I Dovregubbens hall)" by Edvard Grieg, made as theatre music to the play Peer Gynt, by Henrik Ibsen. It is known outside the play and used as general scary music in Northern Europe - and used in Norwegian kindergarten/school plays to show fear, anger, or braveness in the face of danger. Sometimes a few of the kids cry a bit when the song goes fast, but generally Norwegian children are taught to be stoic listening to "trolls coming"😂 The scene in Peer Gynt when this song is played, is from inside a mountain; Peer realizes he is trapped there forever with the mountain trolls, and he will have marry a female troll and live a troll life, but can get rich and powerful as his wife- to- be is the troll princess. The switches in tone and fast pace symbolizes his conflicting feelings and getting swept away into troll society (after having left a mess in his human society). Peer being Peer, he of course escapes later, and finds new drama elsewhere 😅

Wikipedia: Go Compare. Wynne Evans BEM MStJ (born 27 January 1972) is a Welsh singer, presenter, and actor, known for his role as Gio Compario and latterly himself in the Go.compare insurance adverts on television in the United Kingdom. Evans sang the role of Ubaldo Piangi in the 25th anniversary production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall,[1][2] and sang "Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur" at the last game at White Hart Lane.[3] He reprised the song at the opening of Spurs' new stadium. Opera singer Born in Carmarthen, Wales, Evans studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the National Opera Studio.[1]

The context is in the advert. Tango - an orange drink in an orange can. Large orange man appears and wacamole, the taste and flavour hits you. What other context do you want?

Heard the eyebrowe boy on the radio yesterday he is 26 now.

Yay first, YOU'VE BEEN TANGOED!

crusha is a brand of milk shake. Specsavers is a spectacles ( glass's) company

One of the best adverts is one for Hovis Bread, directed by Ridley Scott - of Alien fame. You should watch it.

The 'Specsaver' ad wouldn't sound the same in Americanese 'EyeGlassSaver", now would it

Specsavers is an optomitrists , hence he didnt see he was in a kitchen and the old couple didnt realise they sat on a rollercoaster ! Should have gone to Specsavers

We could use the chewit monster in the dover area right about now!

British ads are a culture of their own, the catch phrases become iconic if they're good adverts. We don't have as many ads as America by a long shot so those we do have are remembered fondly over time if they're memorable for all the right reasons. The Tango ads were a big deal back in the day 😀 and the Specsavers ads are about pairs of glasses, do you not call glasses specs in the USA, is it just us Brits that do that?

One of the Tango ad fat guys was Larry Bundy Jr (GuruLarry)

Cilit Bang is known as Easy-Off-Bam in the States

😂 Slapped in the face by an orange man 😂 You crack me up (That is British for you really make me laugh out loud) 😂 I just love your videos. Keep them coming 🤗😆

Crusha is like a milk version of Squash. Instead of adding water to dilute the drink, pour in a little bit of Crusha and then add milk to make a milkshake.

The internet one is so depressing. It used to be free 😢
