      Some adverts in Germany, especially for cars are even more relaxed. You´ll just see the car driving through a scenic landscape with some music in the background and then you get a title card with the brand name and a voiceover: "The new (insert brand here) (insert car type here).

    Nice video!
    Minor corrections for those who care:
    There are multiple regions in Scotland for the BBC news. There's Edinburgh, Glasgow, etc.
    And, fun (?) fact, the "washing machines live longer with Calgon" ad is about limescale that happens because of hard water - that is, water with high levels of certain minerals, which create limescale.
    Scotland doesn't have this problem, so we don't often see those Calgon ads. We have what's called 'soft' water, and don't have limescale.

      US consumer culture is very different. If you don't make a hard sell, a US consumer will wonder what's wrong with your product, that you don't have the confidence to push it. A UK (and European more generally) consumer tends to see a hard sell as a sign that your product can't sell without it. That's why you only rarely see the same ads being shown in the US and Europe, if an ad is suitable for one territory, it probably won't work in the other

    As a Broadcast Engineer, I can inform you that ITV does still carry regional ads. There are now fewer regions, but still enough so that (for example) an ad break in Yorkshire might have one or two ads different to London.
    Scottish Media Group, which runs STV, is not part of ITV yet, it is still a separate company and therefore more frequently has regional opt-outs.

His most famous study involved ringing a bell anytime he gave a dog a treat, and then measuring their saliva levels after he presented the dog with the treat. Eventually the dogs became conditioned to associate bell ringing with getting a treat and would salivate at the sound of the bell only, even if no one had a treat.

    I remember when I was younger and lived in England, Disney channel never has any adverts on sky and Nickelodeon only had ads that were for new shows, and other tv program had like 2 adds every half an hour. Moving to Canada I was shocked that they would show an ad right before the ending theme song of a program or just in random places which usually ruins the suspense or drama of a show

      Telling you about other shows on the channel itself isn't ads, legally speaking. In Sweden at least, where the ad blocks begin and end with a sign that tells you there will be ads and that it's over; only third-party content was featured. Upcoming shows was featured after the ad block.

    Visiting the US in the ‘90s I was amazed at the constant advertisements for prescription drugs on the television. The thought of being prescribed something by your doctor and saying “but why can’t I have xyz as I saw it on TV” is bizarre. The other thing that I found weird was the really washed out NTSC picture!
