Yes the Peperami toy was real , my late husband brought one and kept it in the car . Every time we got in , it would scream at us . My husband found it very amusing , and yes , I found it really bloody annoying.
I had one! And being a very immature adult, I loved scaring people with it by making it squeal and laugh when they weren’t expecting it! 😂😂😂😂I’ve just gone to find it…..it WAS in a drawer in the dining room wall unit (years ago!) but hey…..🤔😲it’s no longer there anymore… methinks the husband has “removed it” 🥺😡😩
@@bryanbuttery7438 I have one as well - likely the battery has gone dead in yours. I changed the battery in mine a couple years ago as it's just a flat cell inside a compartment on the back (under the t-shirt); you'll need a little screwdriver (Philips head I believe) to undo it.

Another set of adverts to watch are R Whites Lemonade. A lot of those brought up with them will probably now have an earworm.. "I'm a secret lemonade drinker....."
If this is not an international universal thing... ..then it is definitely a Celtic Isles universal thing. Ad space is perfectly synchronised to kettles and toasters...or tea & toast, or pop tarts & hot chocolate...or......
@@asherandai1000 No, we're just more sensible today. As a child at this time, some of these were genuinely disturbing for me and there's really no surprise why that would be the case. I grew up on cartoons, and here's a cartoon character literally grating themselves away while screaming manically. I'm not trying to morally judge anyone who remembers these ads fondly. I've had a laugh seeing them again myself. But there's good reasons why we don't specifically show this stuff to kids anymore.
@@benjones3466 if you grew up on cartoons at the same time these ads were on, then the cartoons you grew up on had characters blowing themselves up and leaving behind just their eyeballs, being flattened into pancakes on a regular basis, being sliced into multiple pieces and putting themselves back together, and much much more. And that’s just Tom & Jerry. Didn’t even get into Road Runner, Bugs Bunny, Courage the Cowardly Dog, and so much more. And we still show those cartoons to kids. So no, there isn’t a good reason why we don’t show that stuff to kids anymore, because we never stopped.
The actor who voiced the Peperami that was squashed by the press on 6 minutes is Hugh Laurie which most Americans will know better as Dr Gregory House.
I wouldn’t eat a peperami if you paid me, I think they’re vile, but the ads are hysterical. A definite reflection of the very dark British sense of humour 😂
The Brits and the Irish, enjoy the ‘further adventures of’ type of adverts, and actively look forward to the next offering. Beyond the initial idea/concept, it’s the viewing public who push the advertisers. We do their job for them! 😁
My favourite ads were the Warburton Bakery ads, starring Peter Kay, The Muppets, Silvester Stallone, George Clooney, Robert De Nero and Samuel L Jackson. Warburtons spent some serious money on their ads.
UK television, only allows 12 minutes of ads per hour during the day, and 8 minutes 18:00 - 23:00, so ads have to be short and punchy!! Unless you're watcjing the BBC, where there aren't ANY ads!
US adverts are mainly "Ask your Doctor if So 'n' So is right for you........ So 'n' So may cause blindness, seizures, dysfunction in the bedroom department and death"
Seeing all these at once is quite the ordeal! Also I am literally just now realising the pun of "it's a bit of an animal" despite having grown up with these adverts
Peperami is pepperoni and salami mixed together so you could have it on your pizza if you wanted to but most UK eat it as a snack or part of meal for lunch/dinner
In 1986 Adrian Edmondson released a book called “How to be a complete bastard” I made the mistake of reading it on the train to work in the morning. Imagine trying to stop yourself laughing in a packed train of besuited business commuters when the next page was more hilarious than the last. I ended up just laughing uncontrollably with tears rolling down my cheeks for the whole 35 minute journey. Days later I heard others doing the same who told me they just had to read the book because what it did to me! It’s a little silly and might be a bit dated now but it was so funny, if you haven’t read it, you really should!
oh my goodness! I loved that ad. Showed it to my daughter some years ago and it disturbed her a little. So, being the great mum I am, I used to say the line like in the advert for fun now and again. Her reaction was always funny. 😄
My son loved peperami as a small child and would run upto them in the supermarket calling out "I'm a bit of an animal". He was probably 4 or 5 at the time
Other great ad series are "The OXO Gravy Family", "The Nescafé Gold Blend Coffee couple" and the "Smash , mashed potato ads". The first two series of ads were mini stories that went on for years.
I reckon nearer to Christmas time you'd both like to watch our Christmas adverts, especially the John Lewis and sainsburys ones. More warm hearted and seasonal than funny but definitely a good reaction for you both.
A few other classics to check out: For mash get Smash - one of the most fondly remembered adverts of all time The Judder Man - probably the scariest mainstream ad There's a moose loose in the hoose - another rather madcap one The water in Majorca don't taste like what it oughta - the one that mocks the inflections of those, like myself, from Luton.
Always loved these ads, don't see them anymore, probably think they'll offend anyone. But they were hilarious, but the looks on your faces lol, priceless. 😂
The voice of the Peperami is Adrian Edmondson. British comedy royalty. You might know him as Vyvyan in The Young Ones (The Punk) or Eddie Hitler in Bottom alongside his long time comedy partner Rik Mayal (RIP) (Both these shows are must watches)

A bit of an animal! 😉🤣 Ade is famous for his role as the Punk Rocker 'Vyvyan Bastard' in BBCs 'The Young Ones', and he worked with the late (great) Rik May all in other productions - 'Guest House Paradiso', 'Bottom' and more. Those two were ultimate geniuses in 'Slapstick' comedy... 👌 😎🇬🇧
I haven't seen some of the more extreme adverts in that series. Adverts would be rated under the same rules as normal TV shows so some may have only been shown after the 'watershed' (9pm) when most kids were in bed. Another possibility is that some were shown on pay channels or online in the days when fewer people had access or access was restricted.
The crazy intense adverts you've seen for various products are mostly from the mid to late 90's which was peak UK television in terms of boundary-pushing. The later the show (or advert or whatever) was aired, the more extreme it could be, with very little boundaries at all for Channel 4. Some truly amazing things were broadcast on the TV in that era. All that being said, you've got to admire whoever came up with the double-meaning catchphrase "it's a bit of an animal". It's good stuff.
The majority of these adverts were voiced by Adrian Edmondson, based loosely on his BBC comedy series called The Young Ones, the character Vivien. Some of them were voice actor Jimmy Hibbert (Danger Mouse Count Duckula) doing his impression of Ade Edmondson
Apart from the Ford ad playing a version of "Driven By You" written and performed by (Sir) Brian May, guitarist with Queen. (...though, it's true, I don't recall _exactly which Ford car_ it was advertising!!) ❤
Everytime my hubby and i see a peperami advert we end up crying with laughter, sometimes people need that, oh and eating a peperami wouldnt go amiss either 😂😂😂
The adds were brilliant, second to none, You say the writers were creative, i`d say relentless, i still laugh at the gobbler, that has another meaning in the UK and they knew it.

My friends and I would use the phrase "too spicy for you?" in lots of everyday situations. It definitely stays with you and Ade Edmondson doing the voice is just legendary.
OMG, I'm creased at your faces guys, I've not laughed so hard for a while, even the hubster came into the room and asked what I was laughing at. Yeah, we all grew up watching these ads so they were just normal to us. The grater one was my fave
I don't think I have seen you speechless before. Some of your best reactions. Thanks for the great entertainment. Perhaps you can visit the UK one day.
The bloke in the first advert or two, Rob Heyland, played a vet in the bbc 80s series One by One. I remember watching that every week so was interesting seeing him in these adverts.

the voice of the Peperami is done by Ade Edmonson, who is most famous for playing Vivian in The Young Ones and Eddie in Bottom.
Yes. I forgot that Ade done these.

Oh yes of course 😊I thought I recognised the voice 👍👍👍
He was also one half of the dangerous brothers.
And married to the brilliant Jennifer Saunders.

A good advert will convince you to buy the product. A great advert will live rent free in your head forever

OMG, I'm creased at your faces guys, I've not laughed so hard for a while, even the hubster came into the room and asked what I was laughing at. Yeah, we all grew up watching these ads so they were just normal to us. The grater one was my fave
pepperami, like a miniature pepperoni (as found on pizzas)
Your reaction is exactly what our reactions were watching these!
I just realised where "what's the matter? Too spicy for ya?" came from. I still say that to this day. I forgot it came from this.
Im sure it was used in a 90s rave song as well that wss popular, but i might be misremembering
I don't think I have seen you speechless before. Some of your best reactions. Thanks for the great entertainment. Perhaps you can visit the UK one day.
Ask anyone of a certain age to react to these "a finger of fudge, the milky bar kid or milk tray"
The bloke in the first advert or two, Rob Heyland, played a vet in the bbc 80s series One by One. I remember watching that every week so was interesting seeing him in these adverts.
