I remember a Siwa commercial where they interviewed people asking where they usually shop their groceries, and in the video they put man's deep voice saying "at Siwa" over everytime they said some grocery store. 😁
Those "Born to create drama" commercials for Young Director competition or something like that were produced by a Finnish advertising agency, but filmed in UK and probably shown only there. At least they were never aired in Finland.
@@aehparta That's so true! Finland participated like in every Eurovision Song Contest all the way from the beginning in the 50's - and never had anything - not even close to a success. Finland was usually on the bottom 3 for decades. So when we finally won, it was SO incredibly unexpected and mind blowing! No one saw that coming!
The sausage eating moose is one of my all time favourites!😂Mörökölli minut vieköön! Costa Rica kahvimainos (2002) is a good one too. A man has driven recklessly on a wrong lane, without seatbelt or even a licence, but the police just make him swear he'll be good from now on, or a type of troll will take him, and let him continue his journey. All because of the soft taste of the coffee.
yes, saab is swedish company but a lot of saabs were made in finland! also the fastest saab ever was was made and designed in finland also! those are such rare gems... powerful and rare... im not a saab guy but i would like to own one... either 99 turbo or the actual fastest one :)
Favourite finnish commercial is the saludo coffee commercial. Old woman starts pouring to a young man and the man says "do we have anything else? Flat white, latte macchiato..?" To which the grandma responds: "stop talking bullshit, this is good" and pours it anyways
There was once a TV ad (sometime during the'70s & '80s) where one Finnish coffee brand was advertising it's coffee. There were older people sitting in a garden around garden tables and the narrator said something like: "You should also end your day with (the brand name)'s coffee. "Ending your day" means nowadays more or less killing yourself. 🙈
My fave ad is still the Oululainen jälkiuunileipä "Kova(a?) kuin elämä" ad. It's like 30 seconds, but it just tickles me for some reason. "Well, are you hungry or not?"
there is series/compilation of old ads from finland, one of these had the legendary funny ad where they advertising tupla-chocolate bar... it goes something like this "the girl is not aware that there is some bar behind wall ;) " means chocolate bar of course but also the "D" :D
4:35 That's margarine, so plant oil from sunflowers, it was advertised as a more healthy option to butter, even though scientific studies show that butter is healthier.
One of the most memorable Finnish commercials from my childhood (this one is from late 70's or early 80's), was "Panit maitoa tulemaan", which you should find from RUclips. It's not particularly funny, but the song with new lyrics made it memorable. It is a commercial of a Finnish dairy company Valio. Since it doesn't have English subtitles, the plot in short is, that the girls moves to the city, and the boy stays at the countryside. The boy says, that he can't write letters, but he will send milk to the city. Every time the girl is drinking milk, she remembers the boy, and therefore end the end decides to return to him.
Yes in winter sometimes we jump out of a sauna and into the snow 😅 In the wilderness or otherwise. Last time for me was a couple of years ago.

10:14 Aspirin thins blood so it was used regularly in 60's to 90s' to reduce chance to have blood clots and heart attacks. Its same aspirin you use for headache but you cant advertise it that way anymore in Finland.
My favourite commercial would have to be the one for Eckerö Line, saying (or reading): ”Viron-matka on melkein kuin oikea loma.” (”A trip to Estonia is almost like a real vacation.”). 😅
In Finland we have a lot of channels that people still watch regularly. So commercials are an everyday thing. And with TV & Radio tax we get a lot of stuff on TV and don't have to pay for streaming or cable/satellite. I personally don't have ANY streaming (TV/Movie)services. My parents and other family have basic TV. Only my brother has a satellite dish. The rest of us don't care we can see good enough TV without paying extra. Also those commercials about "Born to create Drama". I've never seen them on Finnish TV. I think they are made by a Finnish director or a producer to be shown elsewhere. Also if you want funny commercials from Finland... Kari Grandi commercials are good. I still remember all of them from my youth.
Aspirin in general thins the blood (lowers clotting) and therefore these low doses (100mg) were marketed and presrcibed. Today they’re not so sure of the efficacy in preventing heart attacks.
In SPR application that includes first aid instructions it still recommends aspirin for emergencies with chest pain. I also remember that from my first aid course. I guess preventing heart attacks is another matter though. Don't know about that.
It seems odd that some of those were in English, but sometimes the commercials are submitted to international festivals/competitions and they receive English translations. I did an English language voice-over for a translated YLE Sport commercial a few years ago for this reason.
@@Songfugel Most immigrants come from the Middle East and some African countries like Somalia. These are countries where most people don't speak English.
@@pentti3715 No they don't, also I think you are confusing refugees with immigrants which are not the same But even in your example of refugees, who are NOT in Finland permanently to put down roots, do you really think they speak/understand Finnish rather than English? or have easier time or better value if they invest not in learning English but study Finnish instead (that 99.9% of them will never master well enough to understand normal Finnish spoken by natives), a language that is 100% useless outside of Finland and even a few places inside of Finland I used to work several years in tourism, culture and as head of international student tutors and with in many other positions that included management roles with immigrant workers. Yet so far, I have met only two *adult/teen* immigrants who became truly fluent in Finnish and the other one was half-Finnish. Even for them, it took insane amounts of daily (4h/day) supervised studies for nearly a decade for them to get there, and the other one had a Finnish wife who only spoke Finnish to him, when possible, to help the process along A major problem with learning Finnish is that Finns will almost always switch to English, rather than suffer using simplified Finnish and trying to decode what the other person might be trying to say with broken/basic Finnish with either all the grammar missing or wrong (MUCH harder than with broken English)
I remember that Finnis'h health care advertice it is real. And that was all so real when the little girl said "That's not my mamy" it was a very good advertisement
siwa is no more, at some point it was the "most robbed store" in finland :D :D :D and most of people remember it that way. me however, visited with my cousin at Siwa when i was visiting my cousins back in the day when i was like 8-12 years old, we of course "read" the porn magazines there looool
Yes, the name Siwa is no more, but all that really changed was that they were absorbed into Kesko's S-market chain and changed their store names by 2017. But they are effectively the same stores at same locations, with often the same employees It took me almost a year to even notice my local Siwa had changed into S-chain store since only the logos had changed 😂
@@SongfugelS-chain is not Kesko brand, Kesko has the K-market shops. S-chain is owned by SOK. Siwa shops changed to Valintatalo or K-market or they were selled to SOK and changed to Sale.
About Finnish music....Here's one for you. It's a Finnish folk song. Don't mind if you don't understand the words, because some of the words are so ancient, that not even Finnish people know what they mean - apart from linguistic experts. But the title of the song is called "Emoton", which basically means "Motherless" as far as I know. Talking about linguistic experts, J.R.R. Tolkien created Elvish language, which is heavily based on Finnish Language. Many of the Finnish words were sort of "borrowed" by Tolkien. We don't mind :) So this is how Elvish song sounds like : ruclips.net/video/VjsSMIXOnn0/видео.html&ab_channel=V%C3%A4rttin%C3%A4FanClub
remembered most off those advertisements they dont do so good commercial. that is a shame commercials are now days targeted mostly teens and for young adults
This is the one, which always make me cry. Tarja Turunen, a former original member of Nightwish on piano, singing a song called "You would have loved this". She says at the beginning "Kullessani tämän seuraavan kappaleen ensimmäistä kertaa, se kosketti minua todella syvästi. Ja juuri tämän koskettavuuden ja sen surullisen tarinan vuoksi, kappale on todella vaikea laulaa. Kaikilla meillä on enkeleitä, joten omistan tämän heille". In English " When I heard this song for the very first time, I was deeply touched. And because it is so touching, and it's such a sad story, it's almost impossible to sing. We all have angels. I dedicate this song for them". ruclips.net/video/cW7iwxTBjk8/видео.html&ab_channel=AlbertoS%C3%A1nchezBeltr%C3%A1n
I don't know if it was a local phenom but where I live we called Siwa the most robbed grocery store chain in finland. They were.... Unlucky with the less fortunate people of our society. The chain doesn't exists with the name anymore to my knowledge. I think they were bought out by some larger chain or something.
Siwa had the slogan "Siwa on selvää säästöä" - you could translate it "In Siwa you save". Well. Some of the most expensive stuff there, perhaps counting out dairy products. The smaller Siwa stores, some of them approaching kiosk size, but allowing customers to roam the aisles, were often occupied by one employee, often a young female. Easy bait for someone who wanted to run off with a case of beer, or even rob them of their money, the perps seldom expected to meet any resistance. I remember some years back when municipalities had their own welfare offices... at least where I live the office gave their "customers" commitments for shopping groceries and household supplies, and the comms were granted for Siwa. Perhaps with the idea that the customer couldn't possibly have gotten cashback like from shopping in the K or S groups.
Several Saab models were made in Finland. for example Saab's V8 engine, there are 3-5 of them in the whole world, there is one in the Linnavuori factory in the museum, and the other is attached to the bow of a similar Saab 9000. ruclips.net/video/l2yu_11CQHA/видео.html
They used to have very funny ad's. Then something happened about 10 years ago and now it's a hurricane if an ad even says "especially made for women" (like in deodorant or something). Weird butt hippies start a storm and this is why we have ad's like this today "We made a soap. It is a soap. We mean, you can use it as a soap and we apologize if you don't like our word for soap and we'll fire those who made this ad". The sad part is that that isn't a joke. It's not a real ad, but that how it goes these days. Everyone's a dandelion. Fuck that.
