I have a brilliant true story about Marmite that actually happened to me. I live in England, but was studying in Israel for a year. During a holiday I'd come back to the UK for a week, and decided to stock up on some English staples to take back to Israel with me - including a jar of Marmite. Back in Israel, I put the Marmite on my desk in the study hall to see people's reactions: loads of English people went past and offered up a "wey!" or "ughhh". The guy sitting next to me was American and had no idea what it was. He asked if he could try it. I have to stress, I didn't try to fool him at all; he asked if it was like chocolate spread and I very clearly said no, that it was NOTHING like chocolate spread, that it was seriously strong and very different to anything he'd likely had before, and that in England there are probably as many people who hate it as love it. He was undeterred and wanted to try it, so I opened it and let him take the tiniest little bit just from the lid to taste. He put it in his mouth. I swear to you, this is exactly what happened: His eyes immediately bulged and he literally turned red; he was like, "OMG what the actual F is that?!". He ran out of the room to find some water. There was a bathroom outside the room with a washing basin outside, so he went straight to the sink and turned the tap, but in his haste he turned it way too much and the water shot out and went all over him, soaking his trousers. There was a paper towel dispenser above it so he quickly tried to take some towels but, again, in his rush, he didn't realise there was a jagged edge to tear the towel, and as he tried to do it quickly he cut his finger. He's now got wet trousers and a bloody finger and, in his annoyance, he hits the towel dispenser... not realising that someone had left a glass plate sitting on top of it, which duly fell off and smashed all over the floor. I kid you not, I stood and watched this all happen because of the *tiniest* taste of Marmite, and all I could think, through my stunned amusement, was that this would make the most perfect Marmite advert - but that no one would believe it had actually happened.
Now you are just trying to be awkward. The post stated that they were in college in Isreal and that they weren't the only English student in the class. So by that statement, I'm pretty sure they knew whether or not their classmates we're English, Scottish Welsh, or Northern Irish. Why couldn't you see that from reading that post.?
@@redceltnet ..most British people abroad naturally reactively call other fellow Brits they know of, as that of their individual home nation, unless they specifically know a person is from another one, or you can here it in their accent as they speak. Plus most people of the British Isles do not usually say British if they know a person or group of them are from a particular home nation (or Dependency or Principality) within the 7 of The Grand Britannic Isles.
@@redceltnet Nope, I don't think everyone in the UK is English. I do, however, know with certainty that all the Brits who walked past my desk and commented, were English (because we all pretty much knew each other, or at least knew of each other).
Argh, yes, I remember it well. It was a classic = re = the olde King Canute, or the proper Danish/Scandinavian spelling of = "Cnut" !!

If you are talking about the gene test is was real... Kinda In a study by Marmite and DNAFit, one of the UK’s leading genetic testing centres, researchers believe they may have an answer - and our genes may have something to do with it. As part of their The Marmite Gene Project, scientists at DNAFit conducted a year-long clinical trial with 260 participants, comprising of an equal split of men and women, to determine whether there is a biological link to our Marmite taste preference.

My dad hated Marmite but my mum loved it so I was introduced to it very very young - love it! I've even got a special Marmite knife that I won in a competition, shaped to scrape right into the curves of the jar.
My grandparents lived across the river in Burton-upon-Trent where the marmite factory used to be and they took the hot hops from the brewery to the marmite factory, after they made a batch of marmite the wastewater used to be discharged into the river where it created a heat mist and all you could smell was marmite. If the mist got on your clothes you smelled of marmite and I've loved it ever since.
The thing I like about UK adverts is you can't attack other products by name, so it forces the company to just concentrate on their own stuff and allow you to come up with adverts like this. I've seen quite a few US adverts and more often than not it more adversarial, attacking the other products like "Them bad, we good" sort of stuff.
The skill in eating Marmite IMO is to not spread too much on whatever you are eating, I hated it for years until someone made a toasted English muffin and spread the bare minimum of Marmite on it, I loved it, you could only just taste it, I think a slightly Marmite flavoured HP sauce would be the ultimate condiment!
I remember a Marmite advert that was portrayed as an early 20th/late 19th century "freak show" circus, in which the "freak" was consuming the stuff by the teaspoon, and parents were shielding their childrens' eyes from it 😂
Fun Marmite Fact. I found out yesterday The name Marmite (Pronounced Mah-meet) comes from the French word marmite, which translates to "cooking pot" in English. The spread was originally made in and sold in earthenware pots of a similar shape to the French cooking pot, which is a stock pot or a casserole-like pot with a lid and two finger grips on each side.
Stuart Broad An all round cricketer for Nottinghamshire and England. Also an ardent fan of Nottingham Forest Football Club, my team here in Nottingham. The two stadiums are right next door to each other. England cricket fans are known as The Barmy Army - barmy meaning crazy.
Marmite has become an easy way to convey it doesn't really matter if you hate something that someone else loves . I think I it was an American accent , there's a rich vein of satire in some of the big cosmetic companies ads . Glad you liked these .
Hi de hi, another great reaction, stop punishing yourselves and please get a jar of 'BOVRIL', it's a bit pricey but there's really no contest with 'Marmite', spread the same way or as a tasty winter drink you will love it I guarantee
Should check out the bisto gravy ads, also the tetley and pg tips tea adverts they were great, in the 80s and 90s we had some brilliant adverts again maybe worth checking out compilations from those decades 😀
Argh there's a better compliation than this one, I left a link to it for you ages ago. Wish you'd seen it. At least the rescue centre one was on this 😅 love how they pixelated the dog's face.
My dad is a keen cyclist and a marmite lover - we got him a marmite-themed cycling top with 'hate jams' on the back for his birthday one year 😂 he wore it with pride for many years! My parents have a collection of different marmite jars on display in their house 😂

It cracks me up when Lindsey frequently contradicts you, even if you're right! 😂😂😂 To my English ears, that was definitely a North American accent, but maybe it sounds different to true American ears.
thinking of wet behind the ears, you're obviously aware of what the most advantageous effects of Vegemite that was found in Australia was, in the UK we have a similar old trick with Marmite, if you mix some with hot water in a bucket and paint it around your crumpet bush, it stops the Haggi from nesting in them and ruining your crop (although most clockwise domesticated Haggi are now immune,) EDIT: I have also found it helps against seasonal Bap infestations, although it seems to attract Barms and Stotties

Marmite, came up with a great idea years ago. The you either love or hate it. Most people are just ok with it, but then convince themselves, that if they don't hate it, they therefore must love it. Great advertising.
Whenever an accent sounds like a "subtle" version of an accent that is not your own, the accent is mostly your own accent with slight influence from the other.
The regular Jars of Marmite has a yellow screw lid but I buy the one with a Blue Screw Lid which has reduced salt, and providing you spread it very thinly it's ok, so when looking at a piece of bread which is spread with butter there is a thin streak of the brown Marmite if the people who hate it did this then they would be more likely to like it, it's common sense you don't slap it on like jam a jar for one person I find can last up to a year.🧐
Marmite is good for your amine system , my nice USD to eat it from the jar . Crusty bread cheese and marmite sandwich are quite good . I put marmite in stowes, such as beef and onions. Take care and all the best. 😄😄😄👍👍👍💟
I'm laughing along with you both 😂 😂 this is so funny . I have never even tried marmite in my life and im nearly 62 my parents must have really not liked it as i had never saw a jar in our house ever xxx ❤❤❤ 😂😂😂
One of the most classic advert campaigns was for a blend of coffee produced by Nescafe, called gold blend, They date from around the mid 1970s and up to the mid 2000s and were pretty well thought out, you guys should do some research on these
I commented this morning and just popped back to read the other comments of the day before bed. Aren’t these guys so special the way they read and reply to posts. I really hope the crazies of the UK don’t ever attack them for any of their content, I’d be so ashamed.
I have to say I have never seen these adverts. I am a marmite fan, but you have use it sparingly, preferably on white bread with butter. It's good with peanut butter too, I discovered by accident when a friend offered my tea and toast! 😊
They gave you a huge clue right at the start guys? The scientists name was "Roos ', they chose"Roos" as they felt Dr.Fraud may have been to obvious ❤ Love to you guys and Sophia and God Bless 💘
My sister loved Marmite - I loved Bovril. Re the advert of Mom breastfeeding baby who gets a taste of Marmite - after my daughter was born and I was also still breastfeeding, I had this dreadful craving for broccoli. I ate a ton of the stuff and a day or so later, the daughters poo was green. That's when it hit me that what I ate affected her and thereafter cut out all junk food.
Being a marmite lover, I must say the way to get used to marmite is to put the tiniest amount on first to get used to the taste, then increase it to get your own flavour. ie piece of toast, butter it and then a bit of marmite on the end of your knife ( note pour hot water on the end of the table knife or at least heat it up, it makes the marmite easier to spread) then the marmite and butter / margarine mix will go a light brown. That's how you get used to it. Then spread it thicker if you want. Note poached or fried eggs on toast is a MUST x love from the UK
I’d love you to check out Bristol, I know you mentioned looking at it before. We just had our International Balloon Fiesta which we have every August, but there is so much more to Bristol. Home of the street artist Banksy, the pirate Blackbeard, where Concorde was built and the last flight of Concorde where it landed and still remains. The city is so unique compared to other large cities in the UK. Check it out🙌🏼
Dean Gaffney was a very well known actor in the 90s/early 2000s in Eastenders, but his career kind of fell of a cliff after he was written out. He was so iconic as ricky in eastenders i think he struggled to get any other job tbh. I think he might have ended up as a labourer or something at one point. He appears to be a really nice guy, and used his press reported "downfall" to help a career comeback of sorts, making fun of himself in a nice way on ads like this. He definitely had more work now, done reality TV and been back in Eastenders a few times.
I'm not a lover if Marmite, with regards to toast, etc. But I always have a jar in the cupboard because a good spoonful added to stews, casseroles, and quite a few other 'winter' recipes is good for the umami element.
Absolutely the best way to eat Marmite, is on hot buttered crumpets! Hope you give it a try in the future. They really did such a great job with their ad campaigns. And yes, I am a Marmite Lover! I also love Vegemite, from Australia. But find it difficult to track down near me in South East England.
Hiya Steve and Lindsay, from 1972 to 2010 there was a British children's programme called Rainbow, Sophia will love it, there was a character called Zippy, have a look at the Zippy and Marmite advert its hilarious, its from the year 2002, this is Choppy

The Honda adverts are also great. They've won awards even.
I remember a Marmite advert that was portrayed as an early 20th/late 19th century "freak show" circus, in which the "freak" was consuming the stuff by the teaspoon, and parents were shielding their childrens' eyes from it 😂
Watching these ad's makes my mouth water, love marmite!
Fun Marmite Fact. I found out yesterday The name Marmite (Pronounced Mah-meet) comes from the French word marmite, which translates to "cooking pot" in English. The spread was originally made in and sold in earthenware pots of a similar shape to the French cooking pot, which is a stock pot or a casserole-like pot with a lid and two finger grips on each side.
That's actually really interesting, thank you. It probably explains the shape of the jar and the logo 😊
Mah-meet?
@@Gambit771 it's the French pronunciation of the pot name, marmite, which it is named after.
Specsavers (opticians) adverts. People tend to record programmes then jump over adverts these days
Not shown on this video, I prefer the ads where people were receiving the results of the Marmite Gene test 🙂
We'll have to try and find that as well :)
Have you added a teaspoon of it to gravy... Add a great flavour
It adds a Marmite flavour.
I add to my cottage pie filling
Savoury minced beef - add Marmite and HP sauce. Just a little.
Stuart Broad An all round cricketer for Nottinghamshire and England. Also an ardent fan of Nottingham Forest Football Club, my team here in Nottingham. The two stadiums are right next door to each other. England cricket fans are known as The Barmy Army - barmy meaning crazy.
The secret to Marmite is spreading it lightly. NOT thickly like chocolate spread.
No spread it nice and thick 🤤
What?! Are you a 'hater'?
Joan Collins/ Leonard Rossiter Cinzano ads really funny they were like small stories.😂😂😂
Marmite has become an easy way to convey it doesn't really matter if you hate something that someone else loves . I think I it was an American accent , there's a rich vein of satire in some of the big cosmetic companies ads . Glad you liked these .
Hi de hi, another great reaction, stop punishing yourselves and please get a jar of 'BOVRIL', it's a bit pricey but there's really no contest with 'Marmite', spread the same way or as a tasty winter drink you will love it I guarantee
Should check out the bisto gravy ads, also the tetley and pg tips tea adverts they were great, in the 80s and 90s we had some brilliant adverts again maybe worth checking out compilations from those decades 😀
I'll make a note of those. Loving the advert ideas :)
Argh there's a better compliation than this one, I left a link to it for you ages ago. Wish you'd seen it. At least the rescue centre one was on this 😅 love how they pixelated the dog's face.
Ah, wish we had seen it, too! When we were searching we didn't find any compilations other than this one. But yes, these were hilarious!
The Paddington ones are hilarious too
So the ad with the Marmy Army is an actual cricketer, Stuart Broadhead (I think) and the Barmy Army are England cricket fans.
They didn't even show the best one. The follow up to the gene project advertisement where families get their results
I am always watching you, so I finally subscribed, you are great to watch. 😅
The ridiculous thing is I hate Marmite but I love Twiglets which get their flavour from marmite 😂
I get what you mean. I don't like tomatoes, but I like tomato flavoured stuff - like ketchup, soup, pasta sauce 😆🍅
Both your reactions are great as usual. Keep the videos coming. We have always had good adverts in the UK but every now and then there is a classic.
Appreciate your support! Thanks for watching :)
Oh ! And c'mon ! It IS cheaper to hire 6 actors than an entire scientific laboratory.
Hey. Hello. Greetings from England. I am 56 years old. The best advert I have ever seen is 'Guinness Dancing Man.' Enjoy.
My dad is a keen cyclist and a marmite lover - we got him a marmite-themed cycling top with 'hate jams' on the back for his birthday one year 😂 he wore it with pride for many years! My parents have a collection of different marmite jars on display in their house 😂
I can't believe you guys are so naïve! What do you imagine could be on the video they watched! 🤣🤣🤣
I love your vids but this one was hilarious - not the ads - You lol - totally outside your experiences - from having no notion about the barmy army marmy army reference in the cricket ad to believing the science and hypnosis ads could be real - I love you folks - you have made my day - my fav is the puking baby lol and I LOVE MARMITE - Keep up the great work x
It cracks me up when Lindsey frequently contradicts you, even if you're right! 😂😂😂 To my English ears, that was definitely a North American accent, but maybe it sounds different to true American ears.
JOHN SMITHS ADVERTS!
Yes they are brilliant
thinking of wet behind the ears, you're obviously aware of what the most advantageous effects of Vegemite that was found in Australia was, in the UK we have a similar old trick with Marmite, if you mix some with hot water in a bucket and paint it around your crumpet bush, it stops the Haggi from nesting in them and ruining your crop (although most clockwise domesticated Haggi are now immune,)
EDIT: I have also found it helps against seasonal Bap infestations, although it seems to attract Barms and Stotties
...shhhss ...don't confuse poor Stephen & Lindsay (meant jokingly) 😅😜
I guess FuriKitten that you are bakery related, as I love baps, stotties, doorsteps, pretzels and porked bagels too 🤗
@@razor1uk610 Not related to the Bakers directly (although dalliances have been known) Like most I love a good display of baps, as i work with th public I have had my fill of Barms, Luckily the batch fed breadcakes aren't indigenous to my area,
Now I want to do a pan of scouse, just so a heavily buttered doorstop finds a good home
@@FuriKitten
I hope you enjoy enthusiastically your (Cleethorpes frying) panned scouse LOL, just don't wollop 'em too hard, unless they really really deserve a good clip, and/or a tasty dip.😳😰😅😋🤨😜
It is great to enjoy some beautiful iced bun's pun & games funnings 😝😜😁 [...calmly yet cautiously reaches out to stroke the sides of the cheeks & around the ears, and profures a gentle trailing off ruffling fingertipal stroke along the back]😰😂🧐🤨🤩
Marmite, came up with a great idea years ago. The you either love or hate it. Most people are just ok with it, but then convince themselves, that if they don't hate it, they therefore must love it. Great advertising.
I love our adverts Peperami, Monkey PG tips. Your Budwiser adverts are Iconic. Esp the ones around the US special dates.
Great. I’d not seen these ads before! UK.😂❤
There are some Marmite ads you missed. You might want to check out Warburton's bread ads.
There is no compilation video to watch
You know it's a tasty product when you literally have to mind control people into saying they like it 🤣🤣
Hi Steve Lindsey Marmite ? MARMITE is actually a French cooking pot or casserole dish there is a picture of one on the label of every jar .
Whenever an accent sounds like a "subtle" version of an accent that is not your own, the accent is mostly your own accent with slight influence from the other.
Just sat and watched this and now I'm off to the kitchen to make Marmite on toast with a cup of tea! Perfect
The regular Jars of Marmite has a yellow screw lid but I buy the one with a Blue Screw Lid which has reduced salt, and providing you spread it very thinly it's ok, so when looking at a piece of bread which is spread with butter there is a thin streak of the brown Marmite if the people who hate it did this then they would be more likely to like it, it's common sense you don't slap it on like jam a jar for one person I find can last up to a year.🧐
Dean, in the last ad, is Dean Gaffney and he’s really famous in the UK. He used to be on EastEnders, one of our most loved soaps on the BBC.
Thanks for the context! :)
Marmite is good for your amine system , my nice USD to eat it from the jar . Crusty bread cheese and marmite sandwich are quite good .
I put marmite in stowes, such as beef and onions. Take care and all the best. 😄😄😄👍👍👍💟
I'm laughing along with you both 😂 😂 this is so funny . I have never even tried marmite in my life and im nearly 62 my parents must have really not liked it as i had never saw a jar in our house ever xxx ❤❤❤ 😂😂😂
Can't say we blame them lol
One of the most classic advert campaigns was for a blend of coffee produced by Nescafe, called gold blend, They date from around the mid 1970s and up to the mid 2000s and were pretty well thought out, you guys should do some research on these
Personal favourite - 'never seen one so small before' sobbing and tearful !
You either love it or hate it !!!😂
I used to hate Marmite, love it now, great adverts. In hospital i have white bread with butter jam and marmite, fantastic.
I commented this morning and just popped back to read the other comments of the day before bed. Aren’t these guys so special the way they read and reply to posts. I really hope the crazies of the UK don’t ever attack them for any of their content, I’d be so ashamed.
Thanks Sarah. While there will always be some rude people in the comments of a video, we're blessed that most of you are amazing. :)
I have to say I have never seen these adverts. I am a marmite fan, but you have use it sparingly, preferably on white bread with butter. It's good with peanut butter too, I discovered by accident when a friend offered my tea and toast! 😊
They gave you a huge clue right at the start guys? The scientists name was "Roos ', they chose"Roos" as they felt Dr.Fraud may have been to obvious ❤ Love to you guys and Sophia and God Bless 💘
My sister loved Marmite - I loved Bovril. Re the advert of Mom breastfeeding baby who gets a taste of Marmite - after my daughter was born and I was also still breastfeeding, I had this dreadful craving for broccoli. I ate a ton of the stuff and a day or so later, the daughters poo was green. That's when it hit me that what I ate affected her and thereafter cut out all junk food.
Being a marmite lover, I must say the way to get used to marmite is to put the tiniest amount on first to get used to the taste, then increase it to get your own flavour. ie piece of toast, butter it and then a bit of marmite on the end of your knife ( note pour hot water on the end of the table knife or at least heat it up, it makes the marmite easier to spread) then the marmite and butter / margarine mix will go a light brown. That's how you get used to it. Then spread it thicker if you want. Note poached or fried eggs on toast is a MUST x love from the UK
Should also check out the John Smiths adverts with Peter Kay
I’d love you to check out Bristol, I know you mentioned looking at it before. We just had our International Balloon Fiesta which we have every August, but there is so much more to Bristol. Home of the street artist Banksy, the pirate Blackbeard, where Concorde was built and the last flight of Concorde where it landed and still remains. The city is so unique compared to other large cities in the UK. Check it out🙌🏼
I'm looking forward to this one.
I'm so glad you guys got around to this one.
I'd love to see your reactions to 'British public information films from the 1970s'.....they are creepy but, kept most of us out of trouble/danger
We have done some of those! Definitely memorable :)
hi from uk the marmite gen test was a reel thing there did in late 80s ,90s i was a lover
Dean Gaffney was a very well known actor in the 90s/early 2000s in Eastenders, but his career kind of fell of a cliff after he was written out. He was so iconic as ricky in eastenders i think he struggled to get any other job tbh. I think he might have ended up as a labourer or something at one point. He appears to be a really nice guy, and used his press reported "downfall" to help a career comeback of sorts, making fun of himself in a nice way on ads like this. He definitely had more work now, done reality TV and been back in Eastenders a few times.
I'm not a lover if Marmite, with regards to toast, etc. But I always have a jar in the cupboard because a good spoonful added to stews, casseroles, and quite a few other 'winter' recipes is good for the umami element.
Absolutely the best way to eat Marmite, is on hot buttered crumpets! Hope you give it a try in the future. They really did such a great job with their ad campaigns. And yes, I am a Marmite Lover! I also love Vegemite, from Australia. But find it difficult to track down near me in South East England.
Hiya Steve and Lindsay, from 1972 to 2010 there was a British children's programme called Rainbow, Sophia will love it, there was a character called Zippy, have a look at the Zippy and Marmite advert its hilarious, its from the year 2002, this is Choppy
