For a country that claims to be coffee snobs why is the coffee so bitter and bad. I was out there for 9 months and I basically had to give up coffee. Even UK instant is better.
@HieronymousCheese, that's Hersheys fault. They put the milk that they use through a process called lipolysis to give the chocolate a longer shelf life. The result is chocolate that tastes like cheese and vomit to the rest of us. Americans can't taste it because they have grown up with . They only notice a difference when they have chocolate from other countries countries.
The Cadburys flake ad with the very fit bird slowly eating one,what on earth was she suggesting? Every British bloke around at that time will know exactly what I mean.
The first advert for the PG Tips would never happen today, however, the chimps in the advert were not trained for the adverts (more than one was made) they were actually zoo chimps from Twycross Zoo in Leicestershire England, and they were natural performers that had daily tea parties in their outdoor enclosure and loved drinking from the cups etc, I can’t remember if they were dressed for the occasion, far too many years have passed, nearly half a century, but I loved going to that zoo, not just for the chimps but for all the animals, Twycross was, not sure if it is still open, one of the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 most prominent animal conservation and breeding centres. Benson and Hedges is still in production but with the U.K legislation on cigarette advertising and packaging (only allowed black packs with the name of the cigarette and grizzly photos of smokers lungs and hears designed to deter smoking) so the name has been abbreviated to B&H. I can understand why the American Coffee drinkers of the 70s and onwards would not want instant coffee, not because instant coffee is always worse than ground coffee but because like us British 🇬🇧 Americans are coffee snobs just as we are tea snobs, admittedly instant coffee back in the 70s and before then was not great but it is a lot better now, in the late 60s early 70s the only place to get a decent coffee was in a proper coffee bar or cafe, and the best cup of tea was from the roadside cafes long distance lorry drivers frequented, not the modern motorway service stations (interstate highways I think you call them), the roadside cafes also served the best full-English breakfast, and you could tell the best places because the parking was always full of transport vehicles and a few cars. The instant mash advert for “Smash” with those Alien Robots 🤖 were the funniest adverts, in my opinion, ever to be made, I was quite sad when they stopped using the Robots, even when you were down they could make you laugh. The actress in the Parker Pen advert is Penelope Keith, she was renowned for playing upper class or “inverted Snobbery” characters, best remembered for a Sit-Com series called “The Good Life” which I think would make an excellent show for you to review. Your description of Heineken is completely spot on, it is a beer that you can drink a lot of and turn it into real P..S Water. John Smiths is still very popular in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧. Never saw that advert for “Dry Cane”, and Cinzano” is still available but not a mainstream drink, usually used in cocktails 🍸. The last advert for “Campari” is so funny, but you really need to be British to get the punchline, it is a peculiarity of English humour, putting the “upper class” and “lower to middle class” characters in the same setting and using those class differences to create the scenario and the punchline.
The "Dry Cane" ad was the only one I didn't recognise. The robots always made me laugh and I loved the chimps. Penelope Keith was inevitably superb, as was Joan Collins.
"No Luton Airport" was all the rage at the time, other comedians riffing off it. As soon as I saw her I knew the ad again. Yes it's very funny, sorry yoou did not get it.
Penelope Keith in the ad about spending Daddy's lovely money. She sent me an autographed photo with a little message in the early 80s and I never forgot that. Classy lady.
and no one does ' posh ' better than Penelope like in To The Manor Born and The Good Life , where she was terribly terribly posh in both . A great actress.
@@HumorAndHistory Did you not realise that "Smash" was a brand of powdered instant mashed potato. ( at the time a futuristic "space age" wonderfood). indeed it's only compeditor was called Wondermash.
That wasn’t the only smash ad,there was a series of them. There was another one for gold blend I think it was where the new ad would be published in the papers as it was an ongoing story and very popular. The bloke hitting on the woman and loads of discreet touching and looks. Appealed to the ladies.
I recognized some of the actors from British TV series, the teacher from the Lady Parker pen ad was Penelope Keith a mainstay of British sitcoms was still working in her 70's as recently as 2018. The Italian liquor ad featuring Leonard Rossiter, a well known TV actor and Joan Collins best known as a star of Dynasty.
And the Benson and Hedges advert ( can you imagine a smoking advert now ? ) had Nadim Sawala ( Nadia's Dad ) and George Cole of Minder and Blot on the Landscape fame .
Who is famous for saying Luton Airport? 'Luton Airport' This is 1970s advertising encapsulated. The line "Nah, Luton Airport" was brilliantly delivered by Lorraine Chase and became a national saying and also a hit record.3 Oct 2018 I assume you recognised Joan Collins in the Cinzano Advert - Joan Collins & Leonard Rossiter.
The last ad, for Campari, catapulted the model in it (Lorraine Chase) to stardom. Although you may not have found it funny it made people all over the UK laugh. Just different humour I suppose.
Yeah some of these British ads will be way outa your league, you really need to be from the UK to appreciate them. Can only give you 3 out of 10 for observance though, recheck the Cinzano ad and take a really hard look at the wife.
The lady in the Cinzano ad was Joan Collins who played Alexis Carrington in Dynasty, and starred in the film The Stud. Cinzano is still around-it has been going since 1757
After watching all these blasts from the past, I feel like I've been mugged down Memory Lane. As for beers from the US, the best description for it that I can think of is near-frozen gnat's urine. Just sayin.
Oh, if only the ads today were half as good as these from the 70’s! In those days the ads were often better than the programmes - now neither are worth watching.
'They peal them with their metal knives', might be the single best line from a generation of adverts. The campari advert at the end is like watching an American advert referring to the delights of New Jersey or the success of the NY Jets.... it's riddled with class/accent and in-jokes.
The Benson & Hedges ad was for cigars. Cigarette advertising was banned on TV in the mid 60s but apparently cigars & pipe tobacco weren't seen as just as bad for your health so they continued to allow those ads up until the end of the 80s.
The coffee advert was from the 70s in those days most people drank instant coffee because that's what was mainly available , but no most people drink real coffee in the uk
The last two were the funniest because both of the women were very famous in Joan Collins case world famous in US tv dramas .her sister Jackie was a famous author .
This was my era , so many quite big names on British tv did adverts then , and the themes were re!ated - though not directly to any show because we have rules against that - to characters they played . John Smith's is still going strong . To get the last one , Lorraine Chase looked like a sophisticated version of loveliness - until she opened her mouth - the ads made her famous . Smoking adverts were banned from tv not long after these and they were only able to advertise switching brands which led to some funny ads . Haven't seen B&H for ages but then tobacco has to be kept in a cupboard and not displayed nowadays . Nice to see them again . Several were part of a running series and weren't the best examples . The Smash ones were great - even if the product wasn't .

I couldn't wait t have a real American Coffee when I first went there for work briefly in the late seventies. It was bloody awful! Although coffee in Britain has much improved, the major brand Coffee Shops here are still generally rubbish. Mostly found the Coffee in Germany, Belgium and Cyprus the best. However "Coffee Shops" in the Netherlands are a totally different matter!!!
Do you remember Camp Coffee? It was a chicory/coffee syrup in a distinctive bottle with a Scottish soldier and his Indian servant on the label (probably offensive today, LOL). My grandmother loved it.
I remember most of these; it's the more subtle British humour, with its irony and absurdity. American humour is far more "in your face". PG chimps were massively popular, and it was understood even then that those used were the animals who enjoyed performing. There was a whole series; this being the most memorable, for the "you hum it, son..." line. The Campari and worked on the absurdity of the suave, sophisticated Nigel Havers with the glamorous looking Lorraine Chase. Then Lorraine opens her mouth with the hardest working-class Cockney accent known to man, "No; Luton Airport" Luton Airport, in those days was synonymous with cheap package holidays to the Med. Leonard Rossiter played a cheap, deceitful landlord in a sitcom. Pairing him with Joan Collins, and always getting HIS drink over HER perfectly laundered clothes was comedy gold.
There was an embargo on anything from Japan until 1970 (to the US anyway) because of the attack on Pearl Harbor. That's when Japanese cars, motorcycles, electronics ECT started popping up everywhere.
04:55 "Everybody knows Badger loves mashed potato." 05:30 Penelope Keith was the name for sympathetic snobbery in the 70s. 08:42 That sequence just screams 'Foggy Dewhurst'.
