Specsavers is a chain of dispensing opticians found throughout the UK, and almost as soon as the slogan "Should have gone to Specsavers" began to be used, it has been synonymous with people in odd situations and even in accidents, where it implies they went there mistakenly because they couldn't see properly!
@@Oddballkane Yeah they did that as some kids didn't slap the cheeks and often accidentally slapped around the ears and anyone who knows about air pressure, Getting a double ear slap like that can damage eardrums and lead to hearing problems hence why this ad was changed to the kiss version.
10:34 The guy in the Shreddies Nana advert was Leslie Phillips, a comic actor who often played woman chasing cads. His catch phrase was 'Ding dong!' whenever he saw an attractive girl.
Much of the point of these ads was to make them stick in your memory. That's why they don't really tell you what they're for (generally) until the end. You spend the entire ad wondering what the hell it's about, find out at the end and then you might talk to your friends about it later. Pretty much meme's before meme's became well known.
He's a well known Welsh Tenor although his name escapes me. He was wearing a bit of padding in the early ads as actually a lot slimmer, they were a bit of a mickey take on it's not over until the fat lady sings.
I know you're not the brightest spark from the grinder, but being confused by milkshakes, orange soda, steamrooms and eye-glasses really is fun to watch. 😂
The reason, or partly the reason, why British tv 📺 ads were so crazy was because we have less advertisement slots during a programme and because of that adverts have to be so much more impactful on viewers, unlike in the USA where it seems tv shows are fitted in between advertisement shows.
@12:03 note about the MCCain advert, adverts for many years in the UK were filmed and edited on tape and were usually 4:3 in aspect ratio as most CRT televisions were ‘square’ or 4:3. It was only in the early/mid 2000s that widescreen TVs came in but were very expensive and not widely available. As widescreen grew in popularity, most things were filmed in 16:9 so older format programmes, adverts etc became ‘pillarboxed’ as they looked weird if they were stretched to fit the 16:9 aspect
I agree too... "pause, What is this?, I dont know this is for!" You won't know if you pause, the revels will always come at the end of the advert even if just a simple quote... don't pause and comment, just wait for it..
The Tango ad became hugely popular with kids and they had to change the ad as kids were constantly slapping each other at school and bursting eardrums.
Yeah- the Cillit Bang adverts were a direct mocking of US style direct 'Buy Our Stuff Now!' commercials. That is absolutely NOT what UK ads are usually like. That was the point. 'Specsavers' the clue is in the name - especially as the restaurant kitchen one actually listed a special offer for varifocals, which made it clear....(no extra pun intended!)
Nice work Tyler! Specsavers is a nationwide chain of opticians, They've done plenty of great ads. However my favourite ads are from the late 70's and 80's, Hamlet cigars, the ads were brilliant!
The 50's and 60's cigarette ads, well some were brilliant others just overly sexually suggestive. Many were shot for the cinema but made their way onto an 11" or 13" B&W TV screen on ITV.
The way I see advertising, you can take one of two routes: you make an ad telling potential customers every detail about your product, or you make an ad that people will remember. British advertising tends to go for the latter. We might not know what the product is or if we need it, but we'll remember the name of it and it's slogan until our deathbed!
Crusha syrup. Add milk for a milkshake and milk and ice cream for a thickshake. And only a fortnight ago I finally found it again in Asda and incredibly in chocolate flavour as well !
my favourite Chewits advret was when godzilla starts out eating a tower block in the city, then discovers chewits instead - "Chewits, chewier than a 10 story block of flats"
The jaffa cake advert is legendary. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone growing up in that era who doesn't know, "full moon half moon total eclipse". It still gets referenced now when people eat Jaffas. The Dolmio family were in adverts for over 10 years :) And the Piracy Ad was at the beginning of every VHS and DVD, it might have even been played in the cinema but I can't 100% remember if it was. I wouldnt really have classed it as an advert personally, because its more of a PSA. But its just as recognisable.
A lot of the bizarre ads were intentionally created that way as a conversation piece. "Hey Bob, did ya see that dumb advert of the orange dude slapping a guy who was drinking some Tango?" It gets the everyday person to promote it, plus it leaves a lasting impression which means you remember the product. I haven't watched TV in over a decade and it's the same for my Dad but sometimes he'll just say or yell out a random advert like the Cillet Bang one etc from 10+ years ago and we all laugh, meanwhile the kids don't have a damn clue and think we are lunatics lol.
The Crusha ad is always nostalgic for me because it reminds me of the Viking Kittens video on Newgrounds and the whole flash animation scene of the late 90's/early 2000's
I only saw them on YT, but I remember Mactini and internet ham (always check for viruses). Pi Helpline was a good parody of a corny ad and I liked his diet with ice cubes 🧊
i remember when tango said that their new drink was not legal and if u see it anywhere to call a number then when u call the number it said 'uve been tangod'
Best way to describe the Tango is imagining eating a chilli pepper but not knowing it is super hot - at the moment the heat hits you, you have that moment of shock and "wow that's hot". Where Tango tends to be a bit more sharper / citrus like than most drinks, the slap around the face is supposed to represent the moment that sharpness hits you.
Check out the classic Oxo food stock cube advert series - it lasted decades and was quite emotional, seeing the Oxo family grow up with Linda Bellingham as the Mum, cooking a family meal.
Wynn Evans the go compare opera singer, made a fortune from years of adverts for Go Compare. He is really a singer and has become more famous for his adverts.
It's an interesting subject. Advertising companies aren't stupid - they know their audience. Advertisements can be seen as a telling window into the broad national psyche, and I think a comparison between US and UK ads bears this out. Ads that we in the UK find hilarious, leave Tyler confused and bemused.
One of the best banned adverts I remember watching was for Xbox. Started with a baby being born, flying through the air getting older as he went, eventually became and old man and flew into a grave. The tagline was, ‘Xbox. Don’t die before you’ve lived’
The really, really iconic ones date back to the 70's and 80's. Although the slogans from of the modern ones have become part of British vernacular. "Simples", "Should have gone to Specsavers", "Does what it says on the tin", etc. It sounds like the AOL one is voiced by Sir John Hurt, who voiced a couple of terrifying but iconic government AIDS awareness ads c. 1986.
Specsavers is a company that tests your eyes, and sells you glasses when your eyes are obviously classed as "faulty" So - the joke is that this guy thought he had gone into the sauna - but had accidentally stepped into Gordon Ramsay's kitchen next door because of his poor eyesight
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! I love it. Tyler watches Barry Scott and has the gall to say he has an annoying voice. Pots and kettles Tyler, pots and kettles. 🤣🤣🤣
The Orange Tango man advert was one of the funniest adverts I saw growing up. It is a great shame it was banned. Luckily, I was never "tangoed" in school, so I couldn't really work out what all the fuss was about.
I agree too... "pause, What is this?, I dont know this is for!" You won't know if you pause, the revels will always come at the end of the advert even if just a simple quote... don't pause and comment, just wait for it..
You think the advert for the Smiler advert was terrifying 2 years after it opened in 2013, two trains collided, causing serious injuries including lost limbs. The ride is still open to this day I went on it 3 days after it reopened after the investigation still an amazing ride
Smiler is awesome, still is and will remain awesome. Incompetent staff leaving test car on that tracks was the terrifying bit. I'll would keep riding Smiler, It can have all my lyms as long as I can still stay in the seat and loop them.14 inverts. .Beast of a coaster.. Love Smiler, Love Alton Towers
The Cilit bang one that feels familiar to you, really stood out to us when it aired - as that is not our style of advert. It was making fun of the style of infomercials that you are used to.
😂 Slapped in the face by an orange man 😂 You crack me up (That is British for you really make me laugh out loud) 😂 I just love your videos. Keep them coming 🤗😆

In UK we generally don't get adverts for medication/drugs, unless it it's like an ovber the counter cold remedy or something. Medication is generally prescribed by our doctor and we go to collect it at a pharmacy, no need to choose or buy them.
Best adverts were way back. The Smash adverts, Cinzano adverts with Leonard Rossiter & Joan Collins, the Hamlet advert with Gregor Fisher. Probably the best are the Irn Bru adverts especially the parody of the Snowman.
The music used in the Smiler advert is Norwegian; "In the hall of the mountain king (I Dovregubbens hall)" by Edvard Grieg, made as theatre music to the play Peer Gynt, by Henrik Ibsen. It is known outside the play and used as general scary music in Northern Europe - and used in Norwegian kindergarten/school plays to show fear, anger, or braveness in the face of danger. Sometimes a few of the kids cry a bit when the song goes fast, but generally Norwegian children are taught to be stoic listening to "trolls coming"😂 The scene in Peer Gynt when this song is played, is from inside a mountain; Peer realizes he is trapped there forever with the mountain trolls, and he will have marry a female troll and live a troll life, but can get rich and powerful as his wife- to- be is the troll princess. The switches in tone and fast pace symbolizes his conflicting feelings and getting swept away into troll society (after having left a mess in his human society). Peer being Peer, he of course escapes later, and finds new drama elsewhere 😅
Yes, Edvard Grieg's music has been the Alton Towers Theme Park & Resort theme for years. They change it seasonally or for new rides, hotels, and events. The Smiler has its own theme by IAMscore, called "The Smiler Theme." Look it up on RUclips. Alton Towers also has a CD with these ride themes. The latest Nemesis re-opening advert is great. I'm a big fan of Alton Towers and The Smiler. The Smiler features 14 inversions (world record), with a sinister "Ministry of Joy" theme, flashing lights, and optical illusions. It's 98 feet high, 3,839 feet long, with a top speed of 53 mph and a G-force up to 4.5 g.
10:30 TANGO AD WAS BANNED WITHIN HOURS OF FIRST BROADCAST - The day after this advertisement was aired, schoolchildren were slapping other schoolchildren and shouting 'You've been Tangoed'. The creators of this contraversial advert refilmed and inserted a new sequence which showed 'Orange Man' kissing his victim instead of slapping him.
Wikipedia: Go Compare. Wynne Evans BEM MStJ (born 27 January 1972) is a Welsh singer, presenter, and actor, known for his role as Gio Compario and latterly himself in the Go.compare insurance adverts on television in the United Kingdom. Evans sang the role of Ubaldo Piangi in the 25th anniversary production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall,[1][2] and sang "Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur" at the last game at White Hart Lane.[3] He reprised the song at the opening of Spurs' new stadium. Opera singer Born in Carmarthen, Wales, Evans studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the National Opera Studio.[1]
So I was a teenager when this came out. It describes the hit of this tango fizzy drink. The orange man comes out and shocks you, like the drink does in taste. There was a few of them. It became a craze between the young and got band to do in schools across the country..proper dunny stuff. Even youth today understand the term...you know when you've been tango'd. It's even become an analogy for something shocking 😂
Shreddies were originally created, manufactured and marketed in Canada, by the Canadian division of an American company acquired by the American NABISCO corporation. Like most corporations, they had foreign production, including the UK. So, you also could find Shreddies in the UK and USA, as well as Canada. Like many brands, Shreddies have passed hands a few times over the decades, eventually ending up with different owners in different countries.
British adverts appeal to our imaginations and humour. American adverts just shout at you like you are an idiot. "HI I'M BARRY SCOTT", plus you have them thrown down your throat, ads in live sports? Wow!
I remember the you've been Tangoed ad, when i was a little kid. It wasn't aired for very long. It had to be banned, because people was just going up to random people on the street and slapping them a cross the face then running away shouting you just been tangoed." Even if they wasn't even drinking Tango.
Some brands have developed their commercials around a theme over many years, and for cadburys that is the royal purple. In fact, nowadays, they could have 20 seconds of complete silence with a purple background and people would know it's their advert!

Sometimes a few of the kids cry a bit when the song goes fast, but generally Norwegian children are taught to be stoic listening to "trolls coming"😂 The scene in Peer Gynt when this song is played, is from inside a mountain; Peer realizes he is trapped there forever with the mountain trolls, and he will have marry a female troll and live a troll life, but can get rich and powerful as his wife- to- be is the troll princess. The switches in tone and fast pace symbolizes his conflicting feelings and getting swept away into troll society (after having left a mess in his human society). Peer being Peer, he of course escapes later, and finds new drama elsewhere 😅
Erasure did some versions of it on the b side to It doesn't have to be like That back in 87.
Yes, Edvard Grieg's music has been the Alton Towers Theme Park & Resort theme for years. They change it seasonally or for new rides, hotels, and events.
The Smiler has its own theme by IAMscore, called "The Smiler Theme." Look it up on RUclips. Alton Towers also has a CD with these ride themes.
The latest Nemesis re-opening advert is great. I'm a big fan of Alton Towers and The Smiler.
The Smiler features 14 inversions (world record), with a sinister "Ministry of Joy" theme, flashing lights, and optical illusions.
It's 98 feet high, 3,839 feet long, with a top speed of 53 mph and a G-force up to 4.5 g.
American ads consist of somebody shouting at you and then repeating it all over again. As soon as they start, i change channels.
10:30 TANGO AD WAS BANNED WITHIN HOURS OF FIRST BROADCAST - The day after this advertisement was aired, schoolchildren were slapping other schoolchildren and shouting 'You've been Tangoed'. The creators of this contraversial advert refilmed and inserted a new sequence which showed 'Orange Man' kissing his victim instead of slapping him.
Peter Serafinowicz does some parody ads in his short lived sketch show based on the Cilit Bang ones.
Look up 'Kitchen Gun' and 'Toilet Grenade'
Strange? You're telling me Americans don't have puppets selling you pasta sauce? BANG and her shirt is gone.

The smiler was a ride I went on at Alton towers. A year later two teens died and several more were injured in a tragic crash on this rollercoaster.
Where is my so money supermarket advert! Please react to it in the future I need to see my boys dancing 😂 x
'You wouldn't steal a car'
I would if I could download it
I would, I'm a scouser!
You know when youve been Tangoed, best TV adverts of all time
So I was a teenager when this came out. It describes the hit of this tango fizzy drink. The orange man comes out and shocks you, like the drink does in taste. There was a few of them. It became a craze between the young and got band to do in schools across the country..proper dunny stuff. Even youth today understand the term...you know when you've been tango'd. It's even become an analogy for something shocking 😂
The Tango ads are brilliant 😂
NO SHREDDIES!? I always thought they were American. Great to wake up to your content.
They're made by Nestle, who are Swiss and the biggest food company in the world.
Shreddies were originally created, manufactured and marketed in Canada, by the Canadian division of an American company acquired by the American NABISCO corporation. Like most corporations, they had foreign production, including the UK. So, you also could find Shreddies in the UK and USA, as well as Canada. Like many brands, Shreddies have passed hands a few times over the decades, eventually ending up with different owners in different countries.
British adverts appeal to our imaginations and humour. American adverts just shout at you like you are an idiot. "HI I'M BARRY SCOTT", plus you have them thrown down your throat, ads in live sports? Wow!
You've just become my favorite reactor ❤❤❤
Yay first, YOU'VE BEEN TANGOED!
You sometimes sound like Scott disick lol. I like your appreciation for the British culture. I always have a smile when I see ppl appreciate things.
Best specsavers ad had to be the one with the old shepherd . . .
I liked the old couple getting on a big dipper by mistake to eat their sandwiches. What kind of cheese was that!
I remember the you've been Tangoed ad, when i was a little kid. It wasn't aired for very long. It had to be banned, because people was just going up to random people on the street and slapping them a cross the face then running away shouting you just been tangoed." Even if they wasn't even drinking Tango.
The tango ads caused so many kids to be slapped in the play ground 😂😂
Great reaction 👍. There is a full suite of hilarious Tango ads to watch and react to.
Great video Tyler as usual Specsavers is an opticians where you can buy glasses
Specsaver! Optician, eye tests and new glasses. I was there for an eye test the other day 😊. And now I’m waiting for my new glasses to arrive 👍
So innocent on the first one "are all british nostalgic ads like this" 😂 nope
That orange Tango advert got band in Britain,
Because all the British kids were slapping each other at school and saying you've been tangoed 😂
the piracy advert is such a bop, I'm surprised it hasn't been sampled yet
Aw man they didn't have the "YA BUY ONE YA GET ONE FREE" ad - you should totally do a part two with that ad in it!
Some brands have developed their commercials around a theme over many years, and for cadburys that is the royal purple. In fact, nowadays, they could have 20 seconds of complete silence with a purple background and people would know it's their advert!
There is a Scottish parody of the Dolmio adverts! They are HILLARIOUS!!!
Specsavers is a glasses place not the sunglasses variant
