That Oxo ad is weirdly meta and self-referential: "all I can say is thank goodness for commercials", said no normal human being ever. EXCEPT when watching them thirty years later on RU-vid, of course 😁😆
I remember that Birds Eye country club advert, great animation. Also like the buttah advert dropped in the middle of all of the adverts for low fat dairy products.
Hi .. new subscriber to you .. great to watch the tv and think back to how good adverts were then .. unlike now where there’s no comedy and it’s full of crap ordinary Britons can’t relate to !!!… great channel 🎉🎉🎉
The ending of the Constable's The Hay Wain advert (5:45) was visually fun, but I could've done without the xenophobic "it don't look English" nonsense in the earlier part of the ad: "It's soft and mild. Right nice is that - we wouldn't want any of that foreign muck, like flavour. Oo-ar."
The narrator of the Moulinex ad has been quietly nagging at the back of my mind since Friday, but I now realise that it's Peter Egan. Or, at least, I'm pretty certain it is - can anyone confirm my belief or instead correct me?
Did countertop ovens do well in the UK? Once microwaves became affordable in the US, you would never see anything like an actual oven other than a regular one. It's funny how Heinz is a US company, but they only sell ketchup and steak sauce in the US. Seeing cheese outside the US makes me jealous. Good proper cheese, unless it's cheddar or a "jack" cheese, is either very difficult to find or it's stupidly expensive for Americans. Instant gravy might be the one convenience food most Americans don't use. The ad with the pig looks cursed. Why was milk in a tub?
@@jwb52z9 Countertop ovens (or hobs, as we call them) are pretty standard over here. Microwaves are only generally used for heating things up, not cooking. Now, air fryers - they're going great guns over here right now.
@jwb52z9 I know countertop ovens exist in the UK (they're more commonly called mini ovens here), but I've never seen one in the wild, as it were - they're something only people with really limited space would generally have, would be my guess. (Toaster ovens, also, are basically not a thing here.) If by milk in a tub you mean the St. Ivel Gold, don't worry, it's not milk 😄 It's a low fat butter spread, made with semi-skimmed milk. But I can see why you might think it was a tub of milk from that advert if you didn't already know the product.
