Most people in UK won't tolerate a 'hard sell', so most adverts are cute, quirky, or at least mercifully short. We don't analyse them, and usually use the 4 minute ad breaks to make a cuppa or use the loo. Some Christmas ads are truly little masterpieces, and the Cadbury Flake, and 'Gorilla' adverts were brilliant.
Our adverts are supposed to be catchy and memorable songs or characters. The type kids will be quoting in the school ground. Like the Tango man, Aldi’s Kevin the carrot, Levi’s flat Eric, the PG Tips chimps and later the monkey puppet. I’ve seen some of the American commercials with men shouting about how much you should buy something. It’s all “BUY BUY BUY”. I think over here in the UK. The hard sell comes across as untrustworthy. Like salesmen on markets trying to sell “miracle cleaning products”. Or someone trying unload a bunch of dodgy TV’s quickly.
Yeah, I will go out of my way to not buy something if ive seen a 'hard sell' advert. But if it its just a normal ad, then itll do what its supposed to do.
I can't believe the Tango slap man wasn't on there! When that ad came out it was the weirdest, most hilarious ad we'd ever seen. You really need to watch the Tango ad compilation. It's hilarious.
By making them weird, they make them memorable. Some of our commercials have slogans that ended up becoming part of our cultural references, in the same way as lines from popular TV and movies.
The Cadbury's ad was sort-of a proof-of-concept idea, Cadbury's hired a new marketing team which wanted to prove to Cadbury's that the Cadbury's brand (the purple colour) was so well known that they didn't need to showcase the product to sell it, they could just make memorable ads which contained Cadbury's signature purple. There were a few made, but the most memorable are the eyebrows and the drumming gorilla.
Watching other reaction channels - I've come to the conclusion that UK does put more effort into their adverts - and that they can be a bit weirder. We're past Christmas - but you really must watch our Christmas adverts - look up UK's best Christmas adverts of all time. They are amazing.
I'm a 73 year old Brit and I can honestly say that I can only remember one of those adverts, the Cuprinol man. There is something in the back of my mind with the wine gum advert but a different wine gum advert had a slogan that everybody over a certain age will remember. "Don't forget the fruit gums mum". Now that's proper advertising from probably 30 years ago. We've had some brilliant and very funny adverts over the years (not recently) and this was not a good selection in my opinion. Once again Tyler, a good video.👍
hello. 27 year old brit here. i can say that i recognise all of these, but the jammie dodger one to a lesser extent. it may just be what you are exposed to, as there are different ads of different channels.
The wine gum advert was a reworking of an old 1950s novelty record “Hoots Mon, there’s a moose loose about this hoose” which was sung in a Scottish accent. That’s why there is a moose head in the advert and the bagpipes.
@@nigelhyde279 I suppose you could regard it as some sort of pun - using a Canadian Moose's head to reference a wee Scottish moosie. Or some d**khead advertising exec has no idea that the song refers " tae a moose" and not a large N American deer.
I used to live with an advertising account executive (who deals with the clients) and was friends with some of the creatives (who design/make the actual adverts). My favourite of theirs was an advert for Pledge (a furniture polish) which featured the ghost of a tree admiring a table into which it had been made, with the strapline "Pledge. For a supernatural shine."
So for the Cadbury one, they did a few of them and they were hugely successful as everyone talked about them everywhere. For Alton Towers, Alton Towers is our biggest theme park so they get the biggest coasters. Plus, we like our rides to be scary so they play to that. The creepy voice on the oblivion and used to actually play when you at that hanging point of the coaster. Fab fun
if you want to see one of the most beautiful vintage British adverts, Cadburys Flake Woman Sitting Painting is an advert from the 1970s which is iconic. Sadly the product itself was changed some years later when an American firm bought out Cadburys and added palm oil to it, making it slimy rather than flaky. Another iconic humorous advert is Cadbury's Smash which has metal robots but is actually quite funny. Also the Kit Kat Panda advert is very funny.
I've never seen that Jammie Dodgers ad in my life! Adverts try to be so clever these days that it's often not clear what they're actually trying to sell. Personally I no longer pay any attention to them. Gone are the days of ads with catchy jingles, songs or tag lines that many of us remember decades later. A few examples... "A finger of Fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat...". "Birds Eye peas, sweet as the moment when the pod went *pop*.". "Accrington Stanley?? Who are they??!". "Beanz meanz Heinz...". "Are they Birds Eye beefburgers?". "Boom boom boom boom...Esso Blue!". "You'll wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent". "Only the crumbliest, flakeiest chocolate...tastes like chocolate never tasted before...". I could go on, but my point is that that style of advertising seems to be considered old fashioned by the "bright young things" in marketing departments across the land. But it worked!!
The Nectar Card (Nectar points) is a loyalty card scheme, but rather than being for just one shop, they can be collected (and redeemed) across a fairly large number of participate shops and businesses. Such as: Sainsbury's (one of the UK's largest grocery chains), Ebay, British Airways, Esso (Exxon)*, and others.
Thanks for the great video. This just reminded me that I had a bit of a thing for that strawberry character in the Fruit Winders advert 😅 so.. thanks for that too I guess 😆 Love this channel! Also; as most people have said, the Cadbury's Gorilla advert is well worth a watch - the best one for ages!
Unlike the commercials I’ve seen in the US that all seem to be “BUY BUY BUY”. Here in the UK we don’t care for that. But we do like cute or funny or weird characters or songs. That are designed to be rememberable and stick in your head. A good British advert should be quoted in schools. I was 13 when the wine gums advert came out. Kids at school were all quoting “there’s a moose loose aboot this hoose”. I still get reminded about it even now 30 years later, and will buy the odd pack. So it does work. How many commercials can an American reminisce about from 30 years ago?
There was a tragic accident with the Smiler rollercoaster fairly recently, that trailer felt quite weird to re-watch. Can't imagine how those people felt while it happened and that smiler music was playing.
Cadbury advert needs the music , as kids eyebrows move to the music . The balloon squeaks as air is released to the music too. These aren't the best weird ones, I have to say. Please Tyler, don't have nightmares 😂
13 is a fun little coaster. It is supposed to be spooky and if you don't know the surprise.... then I'm not telling. I was almost unfortunate in being surprised by it, but at the surprise somehow I remembered vaguely hearing about this unique little part seconds before it happened.
If you look at old (vintage) cigar adverts (which are no longer allowed) they are very funny. There was several re Hamlet cigars which are very funny, especially re one in a photo booth.
Some of the rides at Alton Towers are based on folklore based on it being on the grounds of an old castle and a story of tragedy supposedly caused by a witch who cursed the family who lived there. All just old stories as timelines don't match up but creepy all the same. It's a great place with a great history and because it's in the middle of the Staffordshire countryside and it's a place of natural beauty the rides are not allowed to be above tree height so they had to build rides that go into the ground and fly through the trees and over waterfalls and things. It's brilliant. My brother used to live in Alton so he got free family passes because of traffic. I used to spend summers there.
1:26 it's a biscuit! The Jammy Dodger is anyway. The monkey is presumably trying to sell you them. No actual monkeys harmed in the production of Jammy Dodgers.
oblivion is terrifying. 100 ft up and it stops just as its going over the edge and lets the fear seep in for 2 seconds before dropping you into a tunnel in the ground
Repost: "What is a Jammie Dodger?" A member of a team where I used to work. You see, IT teams fight relentlessly over who has the coolest name, and management stepped in and said "no, you're all going to be named after biscuits" (or cookies).
As far as I am aware, the UK generally has a lot more variety in flavours of crisps/chips, Walkers and Lays are both subsidies of Pepsico but Walkers does a lot more flavours than Lays. Haven't been to Alton Tower in years, so can't answer if they are horror themed but I know at one of the other Merlin parks, Thorpe Park, they have a rollercoaster licensed/themed on Saw, the movie franchise.
TV ads in Norway were great in the 90s. People actually sat and watched all the way through. We even had TV sent "Oscars shows" for the best ad last year. They were fun, crazy, socking or cute, but in the end too expensive for such a tiny audience (5 mil people). Today we are back to commercial breaks that are only useful for going to the bathroom or kitchen.
I did Oblivion once and it put me off rides for life ... I remember there was a KFC right next to the ride and the adrenaline rush made me very hungry lol
The Cadbury eyebrow advert is not the same without the backing track. I think we in the UK have had over the years & still have some great adverts. 🇬🇧❤🇺🇸
The Cadbury ad needs the soundtrack "Move Yer Body", the balloon matches the DJ turntable scratching. Also, the girl is wearing purple, the Cadbury house colour. The jammy dodgers have a sticky jam filling which oozes out of the hole in the top biscuit, they are a unique kind of biscuit.
Ask your brother Ryan about Alton Towers Theme Park - he did a reaction video looking it in real life a few days ago. He seemed quite excited to visit!
Did you know on the Isle of Wight it is legal to shoot/kill a grey squirrel if you see it since it has one of the few protected red squirrel populations
That monkey one /was/ weird. I'd never heard/seen that character before. Thing is, it's the sort of advertisement aimed at people who are already familiar with the product (or who knows someone who is). Jammie Dodger is what USAns would call a cookie, sort of. It is two layers of cookie with (what USAns call) 'Jelly' sandwiched between. The two halves also have a heat shape cut out so you can see the jelly through it. It doesn't leak out because of a miniature stasis field, which starts to degrade when the pack is opened, or it is consumed. 'Jammie' is a stylised representation of 'Jammy' so it can be copyrighted. Jammy is the adjective from Jam, which is what USAns call 'jelly' Jammy can also mean 'fortunate beyond all expectations of probability' Dodger is someone who habitually manages to avoid things. Jammie Dodger is Cockney for ... well you work it out.
With the Jammy Dodger ad The point is he is red, as in he is the jam. The hat he's wearing is the bread. The ad is supposed to catch your attention because it's boldly taking something you saw as an inanimate object like a biscuit (or cookie), and turning it into a "person" of sorts. That forces you to think about Jammy dodgers in a fun, imaginative way It makes it appear to be more than "just a biscuit"
Tyler, Not sure if you’re aware but at 15:00 “No. 3 Cuprinol Body” pronounced Coop-re-nol was actually voiced by Actor: Robbie Coltrane aka Hagrid from the Harry Potter Films amongst others! 🙂🇬🇧
Each chocolate bar takes a glass and a half of fresh real milk to make it, I remember that statement from about 30 years ago, one of the original adverts for Cadbury’s chocolate bars and also the girls dress was the colour of the Cadbury’s chocolate bars. These are memory keys so that message bores it’s way into your memory.
If my memory is correct the music for the “Eyebrows “ clip is very similar to the tune used in the Maynards wine gums advertisement so watch the kid’s eyebrows while listening to the music for the wine gums and it should give you a slightly better feel for the advert, incidentally the wine gums have no wine or other alcohol content, rather they are fruit flavours but they get their name from their shapes which some are a copy of the shape of the labels that used to identify the contents of bottles for people who were illiterate, also each sweet gum has the name of a type of wine formed on the surface. From memory the wine names on the sweets are Champagne,Sherry, Hock, Port and a couple of other types that my memory fails me on( must be over 20 years since I last had any due to having become diabetic.).
Don’t forget that the gray squirrel is an invasive species and it is literally not an offence to kill one, however it is an offence to catch then release a grey so unless you’re a crack shot with a .22 rifle( anything bigger would be too dangerous and expensive to hunt them with) the best way of disposing of them is by trapping them and braking their necks ( also leaves the body intact and edible like a rabbit).
48 year old , have lived in Scotland all my life, and I have never seen the Jammy Dodger ad. It's funny in a creepy sort of way. I remember when we used to call the old style police cars - the white ones with red stripes - Jammy dodgers, or jam sandwiches. The advert is for Jammy Dodger biscuits though Never heard of Nolan's Nuts either but it's pretty funny too, although 'Nuts with squashed guts' might be better.Can't remember the Heineken or Kelloggs or Alton Towers ones either. The Cuprinol advert takes me right back to childhood - it's an oldie! However, Tyler, I can truly say that you haven't lived until you've seen the ads for S1 Jobs, Barr's Irn Bru and Tennents Lager (especially their '90s ads). They're better than the programmes.
Canada's wonderland used to have really creepy commercials aswell, but it was for the halloween mightnight thing were you can be in the amusement park at night, and employees were hired to lurk around in terrifying costumes and chase people who didn't see them. It'd make you almost shit yourself, and just hope that they were actually employees
The Cadbury chocolate slogan is "a glass & a half of full cream milk in every block," (in the old measurement 1lb block) They keep the slogan even after changing to metric system
We do dark humor really well. Alton towers have always done great adverts. Adman animation (Wallace and gromet) do a lot of stop motion commercials in the 90s-2000. The eyebrow advert was the best of the series.
Monster munch are crisps or what you call potato chips. Loved those adverts, the weird the better lol. The look on your face tho was priceless lol.😂👌 You gotta check to more British adverts, go back to earlier ones, some are more weird than those, but John Lewis Christmas ads are great and cute. 👌
British Adverts tend towards surreal as it probably makes it stick in your head easier. \\\\\\\\you should look up Scary or wierd UK Public Information Videos (these were advert like films which covered things like road safety, swimming safety, dont go on the railway, Stranger Danger, fire safety)
Re: The 'glass and a half' on the Cadbury's chocolate bar - back in the 1960s, when TV ads were far less imaginative, a female voice-over on the Cadbury's chocolate ads claimed that each bar is made with a glass and a half of real dairy milk. Whether it really was and is or not, who knows?
Carling black label adverts from the 80's / 90's, John Smiths, Heineken, Carlsberg, Boddingtons, hmm most beers / Lagers seem to have good commercials, Hamlet cigars from the 80/90s adds was ok as well
Wine gums are... jelly candies, I think you might say? Fruit flavour not wine - I think once upon a time they were *supposed* to be wine flavour but... they're just not. The tune is a piece called "Hoots Mon" which was a hit in the 1950s and the original lyric is "There's a moose! Loose! Aboot this hoose!" which is supposed to be how a highland Scot would say "there's a mouse loose about this house". So the moose's head is sort of a reference to that, even though the original song is about a mouse and that bit's not even the lyric anymore because they changed it to "juice". I mean, I'm sure it made perfect sense in somebody's head...
WH Maynard was a non-alcoholic and his wine gums never had wine in them. It can be quite amusing when you get some dopy checkout operator who won't sell them to a sub-18 year-old, pointing to the 'wine' on the packet
I'm in the UK and am weird and yes, the jammie dodger monkey is a thing of nightmares. Talking of nightmares, you might consider watching YT vid 'TOP 10: MOST CONTROVERSIAL UK TV ADVERTS'
Yeah Alton towers is a big theme park. Been there many times. One of the rides advertised called the smiler kept going wrong and breaking down. Me and a couple of my friends were on it one time when our carriage just stopped and wouldn't go again. We could hear the next one coming up behind and we were crapping ourselves!! Lucky it slowed down and stopped just in time. We got tickets to cut the line on any other ride we wanted as an apology. About a month later it happened again to some others who weren't so lucky. It was a massive accident with people losing limbs and everything 😱 I'm pretty sure it was closed for good afterwards.
The Alton Towers rollercoaster ads were scary because they were selling the idea that their rides will frighten you at their speeds and loops etcetera ! You need to read between the lines and not take the ads as literal !
The squirrel advert is kinda ok in UK as the grey squirrel is a invasive species that is having a effect on the red squirrel population. People call grey squirrels tree rats, lol
Alright a Jamie dodger is what you would call a sandwich cookie 2 Biscuits and held together using a jam (jelly to you) filling typically flavours include strawberry, raspberry, orange and chocolate but I’m sure other flavours exist
Most people in UK won't tolerate a 'hard sell', so most adverts are cute, quirky, or at least mercifully short.

"Are they Birds Eye beefburgers?".
"Boom boom boom boom...Esso Blue!".

Jammie Dodger is what USAns would call a cookie, sort of. It is two layers of cookie with (what USAns call) 'Jelly' sandwiched between. The two halves also have a heat shape cut out so you can see the jelly through it. It doesn't leak out because of a miniature stasis field, which starts to degrade when the pack is opened, or it is consumed.
'Jammie' is a stylised representation of 'Jammy' so it can be copyrighted.
Jammy is the adjective from Jam, which is what USAns call 'jelly'
Jammy can also mean 'fortunate beyond all expectations of probability'
Dodger is someone who habitually manages to avoid things.
Jammie Dodger is Cockney for ... well you work it out.
Tyler that reaction cracked me up.....please try to watch the 'Marmite' adverts compilation: they are hilarious 😂😂👍
And the 'Irn Brew' ones too!😊
The Wine gum advert is one of my favourites, the first time I saw it I cried laughing 😂
Pickled onion monster munch is my weakness I eat too many 😂
I ate mine with ice cream, they were lovely.
With the Jammy Dodger ad
The point is he is red, as in he is the jam. The hat he's wearing is the bread. The ad is supposed to catch your attention because it's boldly taking something you saw as an inanimate object like a biscuit (or cookie), and turning it into a "person" of sorts.
That forces you to think about Jammy dodgers in a fun, imaginative way
It makes it appear to be more than "just a biscuit"
I have never seen the monkey one at all and I have lived in the UK all my life!
Alton Towers is my local theme park. We go about 6 times a year.
Inside the fruite winders there is a comic strip on the grease paper that depicts the fruite being stretched.
Tyler, Not sure if you’re aware but at 15:00 “No. 3 Cuprinol Body” pronounced Coop-re-nol was actually voiced by Actor: Robbie Coltrane aka Hagrid from the Harry Potter Films amongst others! 🙂🇬🇧
Haven’t heard the expression ‘jammy dodger’ in a lifetime 😂 …. We used it in the context of ‘lucky bugger’… thanks for the reminder.
the Hoots Mon song for Wine Gums is a well loved classic here, the song is brilliant !!!!!
Each chocolate bar takes a glass and a half of fresh real milk to make it, I remember that statement from about 30 years ago, one of the original adverts for Cadbury’s chocolate bars and also the girls dress was the colour of the Cadbury’s chocolate bars. These are memory keys so that message bores it’s way into your memory.
If my memory is correct the music for the “Eyebrows “ clip is very similar to the tune used in the Maynards wine gums advertisement so watch the kid’s eyebrows while listening to the music for the wine gums and it should give you a slightly better feel for the advert, incidentally the wine gums have no wine or other alcohol content, rather they are fruit flavours but they get their name from their shapes which some are a copy of the shape of the labels that used to identify the contents of bottles for people who were illiterate, also each sweet gum has the name of a type of wine formed on the surface. From memory the wine names on the sweets are Champagne,Sherry, Hock, Port and a couple of other types that my memory fails me on( must be over 20 years since I last had any due to having become diabetic.).
That was the weirdest 23 minutes of my life, I think. It was very much fun, however. That poor squirrel! Have a great day, Tyler.
It was a specially trained stunt Squirrel
Another for Nolan's Strong Cheddar Cheese (in a similar vein but with a mouse) - Funny & well worth the look th-cam.com/video/CiFWZ8MC2cE/w-d-xo.html
Don’t forget that the gray squirrel is an invasive species and it is literally not an offence to kill one, however it is an offence to catch then release a grey so unless you’re a crack shot with a .22 rifle( anything bigger would be too dangerous and expensive to hunt them with) the best way of disposing of them is by trapping them and braking their necks ( also leaves the body intact and edible like a rabbit).
48 year old , have lived in Scotland all my life, and I have never seen the Jammy Dodger ad. It's funny in a creepy sort of way. I remember when we used to call the old style police cars - the white ones with red stripes - Jammy dodgers, or jam sandwiches. The advert is for Jammy Dodger biscuits though Never heard of Nolan's Nuts either but it's pretty funny too, although 'Nuts with squashed guts' might be better.Can't remember the Heineken or Kelloggs or Alton Towers ones either. The Cuprinol advert takes me right back to childhood - it's an oldie! However, Tyler, I can truly say that you haven't lived until you've seen the ads for S1 Jobs, Barr's Irn Bru and Tennents Lager (especially their '90s ads). They're better than the programmes.
I'm from the UK and your reaction and facial expressions are hilarious
Canada's wonderland used to have really creepy commercials aswell, but it was for the halloween mightnight thing were you can be in the amusement park at night, and employees were hired to lurk around in terrifying costumes and chase people who didn't see them. It'd make you almost shit yourself, and just hope that they were actually employees
"The water in Majorca ain't wot it oughta."
Pickled onion Monster Munch is the best flavour
The Cadbury chocolate slogan is "a glass & a half of full cream milk in every block," (in the old measurement 1lb block)
They keep the slogan even after changing to metric system
We do dark humor really well. Alton towers have always done great adverts. Adman animation (Wallace and gromet) do a lot of stop motion commercials in the 90s-2000. The eyebrow advert was the best of the series.
I only remember the wine gums, cuprinol and cadbury's ads out of these.
Monster munch are crisps or what you call potato chips. Loved those adverts, the weird the better lol. The look on your face tho was priceless lol.😂👌 You gotta check to more British adverts, go back to earlier ones, some are more weird than those, but John Lewis Christmas ads are great and cute. 👌
British Adverts tend towards surreal as it probably makes it stick in your head easier.
\\\\\\\\you should look up Scary or wierd UK Public Information Videos (these were advert like films which covered things like road safety, swimming safety, dont go on the railway, Stranger Danger, fire safety)
Re: The 'glass and a half' on the Cadbury's chocolate bar - back in the 1960s, when TV ads were far less imaginative, a female voice-over on the Cadbury's chocolate ads claimed that each bar is made with a glass and a half of real dairy milk. Whether it really was and is or not, who knows?
LOL Oh the nostalgia - I do love a good UK advert
Maynards' Wine Gums: the music is from way back in the Jurassic, Lord Rockingham's Eleven 'Hoots, Mon, there's a moose loose aboot this hoose'.
Carling black label adverts from the 80's / 90's, John Smiths, Heineken, Carlsberg, Boddingtons, hmm most beers / Lagers seem to have good commercials,
Hamlet cigars from the 80/90s adds was ok as well
Wine gums are... jelly candies, I think you might say? Fruit flavour not wine - I think once upon a time they were *supposed* to be wine flavour but... they're just not. The tune is a piece called "Hoots Mon" which was a hit in the 1950s and the original lyric is "There's a moose! Loose! Aboot this hoose!" which is supposed to be how a highland Scot would say "there's a mouse loose about this house". So the moose's head is sort of a reference to that, even though the original song is about a mouse and that bit's not even the lyric anymore because they changed it to "juice". I mean, I'm sure it made perfect sense in somebody's head...
WH Maynard was a non-alcoholic and his wine gums never had wine in them. It can be quite amusing when you get some dopy checkout operator who won't sell them to a sub-18 year-old, pointing to the 'wine' on the packet
Tyler, please check out the Brook Bond PG Tips chimp adverts. I recommend 'The Piano'.
Nolan's Nuts is so much better with the music.
Whoever recommended this upload to you should be put on your block list
I feel like there should be an Irn Bru ad in here somewhere!
Love what you do. Very positive attitude.
You should watch Irn-bru adverts, there something else.
I'm in the UK and am weird and yes, the jammie dodger monkey is a thing of nightmares. Talking of nightmares, you might consider watching YT vid 'TOP 10: MOST CONTROVERSIAL UK TV ADVERTS'
...or the UK TOP TEN MOST EFFECTIVE ADVERTS. 👍👍
Best ad ever is the John West fisherman fighting a bear for his fish
Yeah Alton towers is a big theme park. Been there many times. One of the rides advertised called the smiler kept going wrong and breaking down. Me and a couple of my friends were on it one time when our carriage just stopped and wouldn't go again. We could hear the next one coming up behind and we were crapping ourselves!! Lucky it slowed down and stopped just in time. We got tickets to cut the line on any other ride we wanted as an apology.
About a month later it happened again to some others who weren't so lucky. It was a massive accident with people losing limbs and everything 😱
I'm pretty sure it was closed for good afterwards.
Nope, they opened the Smiler again the year after and it's still running now.
The Alton Towers rollercoaster ads were scary because they were selling the idea that their rides will frighten you at their speeds and loops etcetera !
You need to read between the lines and not take the ads as literal !
The squirrel advert is kinda ok in UK as the grey squirrel is a invasive species that is having a effect on the red squirrel population. People call grey squirrels tree rats, lol
Lmao the Cadbury advert is so creepy without music
"Full moon. Half moon. Total eclipse."
Cadbury's Gorilla. Shake N Vac. Irn Bru top 10 ads.
Alright a Jamie dodger is what you would call a sandwich cookie
2 Biscuits and held together using a jam (jelly to you) filling typically flavours include strawberry, raspberry, orange and chocolate but I’m sure other flavours exist
Could you hear the music on the number 1 advert, the Cadbury eyebrow advert?
Now you can see why I have always thought that advertising companies could only continue running through a steady supply of psychodelic drugs.
Was hoping the Metz ad would be included. Best ever
I have never seen the jammy dodger monkey ad ever! 😂
Look up Irn Bru ads. :-)
