As an American I grew up watching American commercials on TV and have had no exposure to adverts from other places around the world. Today I am very excited to watch some of the best UK adverts of all time as recommended by people living in the United Kingdom. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!

When you say "Americans are so impatient", we know. Because you've paused every ad about 4 times in 30 seconds asking questions about whats happening. LMAO! Just watch the whole thing!

You need to watch them in their entirety before commenting on them because you miss some of the subtle meanings. I love the fact that you still don't get them tho.

Not to be mean, but you are missing out on a lot because you're missing the background on a lot of these commercials.

I've come to the conclusion watching Americans try to understand British adverts or humour is as painful as seeing the try and use cutlery

It's sometimes infuriating watching Tyler.

It’s amazing how much background “cultural” knowledge you need to understand these!

Well done. You analysed all the humour out of these ads

It would help you if you actually watched the whole commercial until the end, so that you grasp what's going on and can react more intelligently.

I think you should watch the adverts in full before commenting as pausing every couple of seconds means you miss so much and don't get the full effect.

The guy in the cigar advert is Scottish actor and comedian, Gregor Fisher. A rare talent. The comb over guy is a character from his to show.

Irn- Bru isn't a beer (would he be drinking beer in a maternity ward?), it's a carbonated soft drink. And 'fanny' in the UK doesn't mean backside/butt as it does in the USA; it's used as a reference to the female genital region...

The Christmas adverts really are mini productions all on their own. The Sainsbury’s Christmas ad for 2014, showing the Christmas truce of 1914 has me choking back the tears every time. It was a Co-production with the Royal British Legion. Definitely worth a watch.

The "You been tangoed" advert had school children slapping the shit out of each other for months when I was at school.😂

For the pool towel advert there are two things. Germans have a reputation for getting up early to reserve desired poolside sun loungers, and Brits hate it. Also the bouncing towel is a reference to a WW2 mission using a bouncing bomb to destroy Germans dams supplying power to the Nazi war effort.

So many references went straight over your head.

Absolutely brilliant video illustrating the totally unbridgeable gulf between the Jonathans and the Brits.

If you have not figured out yet, the British LOVE comedy. Its in everything we do on TV on movies, in ads and real life.

I remember several ads from the 70's, some of them wouldn't be shown nowadays! The Flake ads (Only the crumbliest, flakiest chocolate...), The PG Tips chimps, Cinzano with Leonard Rossiter and Joan Collins, Everyone's a Fruit and Nutcase with Frank Muir, It's all because the lady loves Milk Tray and who could forget the ''Smash'' aliens?

Have you never heard of the ‘Bouncing Bomb’, it was invented during the 2nd WW. by Barnes Wallis. It was designed to be launched from a British Bomber to bounce on the water and hit the German Dam Wall. They couldn’t hit it directly. A film was made of it called The Dam Busters. They where very brave!
