Translation: steamy windows in here, eh? Nice rug mum.
Hotter than a cheese toasty in here, do you mind?
Mr McTaggert, looking trim. Keeping active?
The Snowman ad and song is in the style of the popular 1982 animated film of the same name (based on an older book). It's common to see it on TV around Christmas.
The song is based on Aled Jones "Walking in the Air" (probably is him singing this too). Aled Jones also sang with Mike Oldfield in "Pictures in the Dark".
@@4Astaroth though the song in the film was sung byPeter Auty. Aled jones later did a rendition of the song became famous because of it and people later beleived he sung for the film its almost the mandela effect.
@@user-is9ci4te4x That's something I wasn't aware of. Thank you.
I can't remember his name off the top of my head, but it was a younger singer who sang it in the ad as Aled Jones was getting on for 50 when that ad came out. Also, the reason that Aled Jones got to sing on the record release was that by the time they were releasing it, the kid who sang it in The Snowman animation, his bollock's had dropped, and he could literally no longer sing it the same. So Aled was picked.
There's also another Snowman based IRN BRU™ ad if I'm not mistaken?
'Fanny' is a UK/Irish colloquial term for a Vagina but in olden days it was a common girls name. That's why the Dad was aghast, before he sipped his Irn bru, at his daughter's name.
Also, in the earlier advert where the son comes home and catches his parents and a neighbour having, well, adult fun, what he says in Scottish slang is "steamy windys" meaning steamy windows.
The earlier adverts featured in this list had narratives based upon Irn Bru's long running theme of the drink giving you superhero like strength because it has (a minute amount of) iron, in the form of ammonium ferric citrate.
All the adverts featuring someone knocking over very heavy objects, lifting something impossibly heavy, or breaking something unbreakable by human hands all play on the super strength theme.
And they had the running gag of the Irn Bru vending machine attacking the people
No point explaining & translating - he never reads these comments anyway.
Translation: US Fanny = back bottom. UK Fanny = front bottom.
wait till he discovers tango adverts lol
They are even crazier, but I like the Irn Bru ones better still.
Quality!
Ahh yeah Tango, the ad that created a school playground blanket ban on the slap.
All the landmarks in the Snowman ad are real including the Loch Ness Monster .Irn Bru is made from girders that's why it's the colour of rust .and is widely used as a hangover cure .
I have no idea why there is an Irish flag on the front of a clearly Scottish advert
It's deliberate, just gets the video an extra bit of attention
@@viewer.123 ok I'll take the straw out my ears now and won't buy any magic Beans at the market .
The second one with the snowman is based on the classic Christmas short animated movie The Snowman. You can find it on RUclips. It runs on TV every Christmas in various countries, not just the UK
Christmas tradition in Finland too
Scotland is one of a few countries where CocaCola isn't the top seller, IrnBru is!
Good for Scotland
Scotland: built different up there.😂
The Irish flag on the thumbnail.....wtf.....Irn Bru is Scottish.....totally different country
Imagine reviewing something from the USA and they put a Canadian flag on there
I spotted that yeah but I just came here to listen to him butcher the name and he didn't fail at that either
@@starstencahl8985. World War III would start. 🤣
We can correct that… 🏴 😮
Just joking, here you go 🏴
Hmm in the thumbnail it's the wrong flag. It's the Republic of Ireland flag 🇮🇪, it should have been the Scottish, Scotland 🏴
Forgive the guy, he's American. Most of them couldn't tell the difference between the flags of their own states, let alone between different European countries' flags.
ok, next time I'll be using flag of Cuba to reffer to USA, if that's the right thing to do.
Yo guys chill.. Ryan always confuses Ireland and scotland… I thought it was a running gag😂
Brilliant lol
Don't think I'm too hard on him, didn't call him any names, I just called out the error😊
Hello! I'm Scottish (By which I mean: born and raised in scotland. If your grandad was from scotland but you were born in america, you are not scottish). Your respect is appreciated, even though I don't like Irn Bru.
That's not how it works you can makeup your own criteria as you have , but it only applies to you everyone else uses an accepted criteria and definition
@@Steve0272. I'm not Scottish. If you are a third generation born in America, you are American with Scottish ancestry and even that only matters, if you hold up Scottish traditions and mindset. If you don't understand a Scottish accent with no problems, don't say your Scottish.
if his grandad is Scottish then he can play for the national teams. ;)
Hi! I'm Scottish to. As in same as you, and actually live here lol. 😊
@kaydisney9872 I suspect even though he claims he's a true scotsman lol, he's not aware of the " no true scotsman fallacy " lol , flawed/ fallacious thinking and irrational
Welcome to the British sense of humour 😂😂
Scotish
I was so stunned by the butcher one, I just sat here staring while 2 whole youtube ads played after it and I never even bothered to skip them (as I usually do)!
I’ve followed you for a while.
This was your best reaction video.
I was born in the mid-70’s so it was great nostalgia and your reactions were fxing hilarious.
I’ve had tears running down my face.
Which is good as it’s helped clear my eye infection.
No.2 is a spoof of 'The Snowman' a famous cartoon shown here every Christmas and based on the book by Raymond Briggs. The original version of the song got to No.1 here and made the singer, choir boy Aled Jones a star.
Irn Bru famously outsells Coke in Scotland - Probably not for the taste, which is like bubblegum, but because it's widely used as a hangover cure, the Scots being fond of an occasional tipple.😀
Marmite ads next.😊..the snowman is a very famous book/film here in the uk..played every christmas..😍🇬🇧
the original song from no 2 is walking in the air from the cartoon "the Snowman" that is in the exact same style as the commercial. the band Nightwish did a fenominal cover of this song
Great to see another Nightwish fan here👍. Definitely a superior version. Though ideally the listener should hear the original first to compare.
He has seen the Irn Bru ads. He is now one of us. 😂
Also, ignore the high school and rock ads. They bombed and are universally hated.
EDIT: They're weird but won awards. I've heard Americans describe it as a kind of cream soda. To us it's just IRB-BRU in the same way it's sister drink Tizer "is just red flavour."
RUclips 'The Snowman' by Aled Jones. That's the original and is from a Raymond Briggs animated Christmas movie. It obviously had his blessing and is a wonderful parody.
Universally hated? Says who, just you my friend, just you.
I love a good cream soda.
Get a chilled glass bottle of Iron Bru, NOT cans. 'Trust me.' x
I'm not surprised you were having a hard time decoding some of their accents!
The "I used to be a man" advert was aired in 2000 but made in a retro style. It was banned a few years later after complaints were made that it was offensive to the transgender community, although that doesn't seem to have been Irn-Bru's intention.
I haven't seen a lot of these before - The Snowman had my crying with laughter at both the advert and your horrified reaction to it 🤣 - in case it hasn't crossed the Atlantic, The Snowman (which this is based on) is a traditional English Christmas classic that has been a staple of the festive season for over 40 years, but in this version they've crammed in every famous Scottish landmark they could.
There are some more great ones - search for "A brief history of Irn-Bru's most controversial adverts" (especially Fiery Irn-Bru)
I love watching US Americans watching Irn Brew adverts 😂
They are so bemused.
Trying to decipher what the colours and shapes mean
It’s Irn Bru not Brew.
I know Americans can't do geography, but the video thumbnail has the Irish flag, not the Scottish flag. Don't they have google in America? The Scottish flag even appears in one of the ads!
I was looking for this comment 😂
Irn bru is amazing and a good hangover cure. The look on your face was absolutely hilarious dude. Btw - the second last one is a homage to a famous Christmas book/film by Raymond Briggs called the Snowman (original sung by Aled Jones).
*The song is called "Walking In The Air" and it's taken from "The Snowman" [ Songwriter : Howard Blake ], for which it was written. "The Snowman" is an 1982 animated television film, which is based on Raymond Briggs' 1978 children's book of the same name. The song is the centrepiece of "The Snowman", which is a seasonal favourite on British and Finnish television. "Walking In The Air" was covered by the famous Finnish Symphonic Metal band NIGHTWISH for their second studio album "Oceanborn", which was released in 1998.* 🎵🎸💿🔊🔥
The Snowman is an iconic animation made from hand-drawn drawings, which give it a bit a flicker when used as frames in an animation. This entire ad was done in that exact same style, must have cost a lot of effort. The story of the original is pretty wholesome. Boy make snowman, want to play some more with him, but is send to bed, wakes up, finds the snowman alive, shows him the house, they ride off on a motercycle that can now suddenly fly and visit Santa Claus at the North Pole and a Snowman only dance party, he gets a gift from Santa and they return home. The boy wakes up. Was it all a dream? The snowman has melted, was his friend not real? But then he finds the gift from Santa and is thankful for the time he had spend with the snowman. The original is without a voiceover, it is just the title song. In the ad they adapted the lyrics of the original song.
I watch The Snowman every Christmas, and wondered if that ad would make number 1. The parody is brilliant, I remember it coming out. Glad it made number 2 at least!!!!!! 😂
The idea behind the ad is that they're saying Irn Bru gets you through though situations. That's why some of the ads had nothing to do with the drink
You feel nostalgic because the advert is a take on the film The Snowman from the eighties that you have no doubt seen in your childhood at some point or another. If you haven't seen the film you'll probably have heard "Walking in the Air" before.
You may have missed the joke in the new born baby ad as Fanny is a slang word for a certain lady part. You got the English/Scotish rivalry though. The orginal song 'Walking in the Air' was a no.1 hit for a small boy called Aled Jones from Wales who sung it the the animated tale that Christmas.
And the baby being like her dad is just calling him a fanny - a mild insult, like 'idiot'.
Aled Jones didn't sing the film version, btw.
Best ads I can remember from the 80s:
1 Audi ad 'driven by the intelligent'.
2 Cinzano ads with Leonard Rossiter and Joan Collins.
great ads ... the Scottish know how to do!
I love that accent.
Funny, it seems I better understood the conversations than Ryan.
She said, "I moved my stuff in like we agreed, and that TV was so big." That wasn't a strong Scottish accent. It was toned down for TV. I once went to Glasgow for work with a friend, we stopped to ask an elderly man for directions, we couldn't understand a single word he said. The friend I was with was married to a woman who grew up in a suburb of Glasgow, which made me realise he was laying it on thick because we were English. The Scots love their English neighbours.
The Snowman ad shows famous Scottish location like Loch Ness (with monster),Edinburgh Castle, the Glenfinnan viaduct as seen in Harry Potter ending in Glasgow's George Square in front of the city Chambers
‘I swear if something lands on that little girl’…..
What, like Michael Jackson 🤣🤣
The eerie song from nr. 2 is written by Howard Blake. I think the Finnish band Nightwish has made an excellent version.
No one can prepare you for the Scottish sense of humour. We much prefer these funny adverts that grab your attention rather than "wholesome" adverts that are easier to ignore and forget. And Irn-Bru does this immaculately every time. (Also my sister knows the main guy in the parody of High School Musical Irn _bru advert, number 6 in this list, which added another layer of enjoyment for me.)
They got the order wrong. Ads got progressively worse as they went apart from the Fanny one which should have number 1!
IRN BRU (earn brew! ha ha!) (Iron Brew)
“Steamy windows in here then!”
Enjoyed your reaction, only wish you could have understood more of the Scottish accent, but the look of shock on your face at points made me laugh out loud.
No joke, my grandma was actually a Fanny! 😊😊
Shocking commercial but I did laugh especially the snowman one. 😂
When you get your Irn Bru Ryan, to go all the way…drink it whilst watching the movie, “Trainspotting”….cheers from Tasmania!
You were looking at PSAs - not 'ads' on the previous one. There is a difference. These are ads!!!
You should check out the ‘Tango’ ads too. They’re brilliant! 😂. And insane. Some had to be banned as children would hit other kids and run off saying you’ve been tango’ed! 😂
Really enjoyed watching this one with you Ryan! was smiling all the way thru, good choice!
and on top of the super fun ads.... Irn Bru is delicious!! (and I am not even scottish, I'm italian...)
There is also a follow up advert to the Snowman one that continues the 'story/song'
You have the look of a dog trying to understand juggling. That’s the difference between British and US humour. We love the dark side.
My fave Irn-Bru ad is the Dont be a can't be a can cos of the accent, sounds similar to the C word.
steamy windows is of course a Tina Turner reference. The snowman add was a tribute to the Late great raymong Briggs, who created "The Snowman" and many other famous illustrated and cartoon works, including the rather disturbing "when the wind blows" which is about nuclear winter, and fungus the bogeyman
Barr’s is the brewer who makes Irn Bru
Ironically, it's made in England.
@@NormyTresno it’s not
Stop lying
First off manufactured in Falkirk then Glasgow and now in Cumbernauld
Any mair lies then
What a boring life you must have
@@NormyTres
Actually most of it is produced in Cumbernauld, which is actually in Scotland.
@@victr2098 Thanks for updating me. I hadn't realised they'd moved from Notts to Scotland - as it should be. As far as I'm aware they've still got their factories in Russia, though, which I find pretty awesome 😊
@@NormyTres
Hi, 🙋🏻♀️ they might actually still have some place in England, I just know that they do actually produce a lot of it here in Scotland, as they should.
I have to say, I was actually really surprised when I found out they had a place in Russia, of all the places. 🤗
You should react to the snowman on one of you Christmas videos which is what the snowman ad was based on. It is a Christmas tradition to watche the snowman at xmas here.
They did a second follow on advert featuring the snowman😊
That first ad: If you drink Irn Bru, you wouldn't be dating a girl like that.
At minute 16 the song is "Walking in the air" by Nightwish (from the album "Oceanborn"
*Well, Nightwish did a fantastic CoverVersion of "Walking In The Air"..........*
You really have to see the hilarious adverts of dutch insurance company Centraal Beheer.
*Check out the 1998 "Walking In The Air"-- CoverVersion of famous Finnish Symphonic Metal band Nightwish.* ❄❄☃
🎵🎸🎹🥁🎸🎵💿🔊🔥
lol welcome to Scotland. lol we do do some good ads . enjoyed this!
Spelt irn, but pronounced iron. A very popular drink in and of Scotland. As others have pointed out, the thumbnail depicts the Irish flag. Scottish one is the blue with white diagonal cross
15:35 For over 20 years i didn't knew this was a cover :
Nightwish (Walking in the Air Live Performance)
ruclips.net/video/9icKP1b44TA/видео.html
Outrageous? You mean genius 😂😂😂
The older adverts play on the tag line "Made from Girders" which is why everyone who drinks it in the ads are strong and accidently breaking or destroying things. The songs are hilarious as they just don't take themselves seriously in the slightest.
They're so bad that they are great, love'em. Love Ryan is dumbfounded
There’s a well known saying from glasgow , and it’s a glasgow kiss. Meaning head butting when there fighting. That’s what the vending machine was doing when they thumped it. Glasgow kiss 😂😂
Best hangover cure on the planet, and I should know, I'm a half pissed Scotsman!
I'm surprised how an American understands less than half of Scottish English, while I understand almost everything without issue. And I'm Belgian.
They don't understand English either😂
Number 2, lapland... Santa. Heavy metal!
If you like this check the crazy Scottsman 😅 UK and Dutch humour is different and dark/raw. You get this in lot's of ads 😂
The poster ads are hilarious too.
I love Irn Bru! Had some just this morning. Check out the Tango adverts when you can 👍
Yeah, get some Irn-Bru.
Want you to explore - ''Walking in the Air'' 1982 Original to the Advert Remix.
Regards
IRN-BRU ads feel quaint and timid when compared against the meth addict on shrooms TANGO ads
You need to do Tango adverts. Another uk soft drink.
Ryan you should open a PO box and we could send you some Irn Bru and maybe more to try.
He used to have one on his Australia dedicated channel Ryan Was. There are two live videos with Australian stuff unpacking :)
I don´t even drink sodas but these are way more better than "Allways Coca Cola" commercials.
You put the Irish flag 🇮🇪 for a Scottish soft drink. 🏴
Marmite ads top ten are good too .
Omg...diese Frau würde mich den Wahnsinn treiben. Gott, entspannt sich doch mal. Weniger Coffein Drinks, sind etwas gesünder. Es geht doch echt entspannter.
There are some stores in the US that sell it, I saw a RUclips from two girls who react to British stuff there is a I believe a wallmarts near them in Ohio with a British section which stocked it
Iron Brew
The pronounciation of
Irn bru
Steamy windaes Scottish for the windows are all steamed up from the activities
😂 that was totaly funny but Not compering to the Red Bull ads here in Austria
If you do buy Irn Bru you need to get the 1901 Irn Bru. The best.
The Irish flag on the Scottish content got me to click in extra fast, but I was going to click anyway.
There`s only one decision: You love it oder you hate it 🤭
You should watch Red Bull add from Austria next 😂 not as hardcore as these ones but still amazing
American pop, because Scotland is the only country that Coca Cola isn’t the #1 drink sold here😁
I don't think us from Great Britain can actually do a wholesome advert 😂
How that made 'No.1' is beyond my comprehension......
The Puritan mind cannot fathom the Iron Brew!
Love Iron Brew, though I'm fairly certain what we get here doesn't taste anywhere near the original
They use the UK flag for England, and the Irish flag for Scotland 😂😂😂
That was interesting
Scotland is the only Country in the World were Coca Cola is not the No.1 Soft drink, Irn Bru also cures hangovers.
Tip for US viewers: turn on youtube subtitles.
So funny to see Americans so oblivious to all culture save their own
You need to have a look at the marmite ads they are hilarious .
Hallo
Thanks for the nice videos. Fun to hear what you think.
I am from Denmark and I think it would be interesting to hear what you think of my country, as there are many videos about Copenhagen, Maybe you can start there? 😊
