There’s different laws. In the U.K. you can’t directly compare products. So McDonald’s can’t say that their burgers are bigger etc... than Burger King.
@@mrmagoo-i2l Do you know why they can't compare products? As long as it's truthful, I'd prefer such fact-based information. Is it permitted, for example, for one fast-food chain to say their burgers are the biggest/lowest in sodium/leanest without mentioning another chain's burgers?
I live in Ireland and since getting satellite TV I've been able to pick up British channels, and something that has struck me is the ludicrous amount of life insurance ads, with old people cheerfully talking about how they're going to die one day but with this insurance they'll be ready to go!
It depends what time of day you're watching I think. If you watch daytime TV on a weekday you get a lot of ads like that because they're targeting the older people who will be home during the day while most people are at work.
I dunno, I kind of don't like companies trying to cash in on world events, I get it was supposed to be a tribute, but I just don't think advert and companies should go there, it always seems money influenced
@@rosajones2865 last year just before Christmas, I saw an advert for Trago Mills on ITV (a small retailer based in Devon and Cornwall). Also saw an advert a couple of years back for (I think) the big Cornish market in St Austell.
Back in 95/96, Lloyds bank did an ad that was like a knight going to rescue a princess from a 2 headed-monster called a tundred, which ended with him going "Oh, a tundred! Sever one, sever two" and then the princess went "free". I don't think I need to type out the number.
In Germany there has to be a "Now comes the advertising" scene between program and ads. Another example is that you even have to mark unpaid ads if you have tagged a product on IG or something because you could want a contract with them in the future.
@@robmaule4025 Netflix doesn't have ads. But TH-cam doesn't tell it's an ad first, but it does tell it's an ad during the ad at least. I'm from Sweden though, and at least on kids channels (I haven't watched TV much lately) it does also say it's an ad before and after the ad block.
Nice video! Minor corrections for those who care: There are multiple regions in Scotland for the BBC news. There's Edinburgh, Glasgow, etc. And, fun (?) fact, the "washing machines live longer with Calgon" ad is about limescale that happens because of hard water - that is, water with high levels of certain minerals, which create limescale. Scotland doesn't have this problem, so we don't often see those Calgon ads. We have what's called 'soft' water, and don't have limescale.
Also Scotland has multiple "ITV" stations or "STV" there are a couple regions. You have dundee + perth, glasgow, inverness and edinburgh. (might be more) each of these have local adverts.
You have the same Calgon jingle translated in french (at least in Belgium). This could also explain the name of the company: "limescale" in french is "calcaire", and so Calgon could be a contraction of "limescale gone" :)
@@LazyMasterGamer Maybe. But its more likely that the Cal stands for Calcium, which is what lime scale is, calcium carbonate deposits. From what I understand. Calgon is an American company, so it doesn't make much sense for them to use a French name really.
@@lynallott3404 I once met an American lady who had been living in my country for 21 years, and was proud to not speak a word of the language. It was one of the first things she told me. She performed SAT tests for people who wanted to study in the USA.
@@rogerwilco2 Well, she sounds like a delight. I'd just like to speak in our defense and say that most Americans, in my experience, are not like that.
@@GeorgeSmithCoD Is that ad national then? I live near Hastings so it would be weird knowing someone from Yorkshire (for example) is seeing the same ad of the statue that I've actually seen 😂
I live In Bexhill-On-Sea where Hastings directs head office is and yes it’s a national ad.Hastings direct is now a massive insurance company with several offices around the country
We have the same one in Estonia (in Estonian though, of course): "Carglass paigaldab, Carglass parandab!" In English that would be: "Carglass installs, Carglass fixes!" I always thought that was strange - why would you install before fixing?!
@@Smith-if8sn Well yeah, of course it is. But the first thought in my head and many other people's heads is that it's an ordered list and it's just a bit funny.
From what we see over here in the UK, American commercials seem to use a lot of peer pressure to sell their products - lots of young, attractive people sitting around having a great time sharing Pringles. In the UK, Gary Linekar steals your crisps if you aren't careful.
US consumer culture is very different. If you don't make a hard sell, a US consumer will wonder what's wrong with your product, that you don't have the confidence to push it. A UK (and European more generally) consumer tends to see a hard sell as a sign that your product can't sell without it. That's why you only rarely see the same ads being shown in the US and Europe, if an ad is suitable for one territory, it probably won't work in the other
You're correct. I think half of Americans' neuroses wouldn't exist if TV ads weren't continually implying they are inadequate/smelly/unattractive/unlikeable/unfashionable/a miserable failure if they aren't using Product X. I remember when a few TV ads were clever and/or funny.
@@talltroll7092 it's strange: in the US, the culture seems to be that the customer is always right, yet they're marketed to as if there's something wrong with them that Miracle Product X can fix. I was once told that (maybe only in the UK) adverts aren't there to make you buy the product but to raise your awareness of it, so anything that's quirky or memorable goes down really well over here rather than the hard sell.
@@hughtube5154 Some adverts (mostly for cars, and other big ticket items) aren't there as direct sales pitches, but to make people who already bought that brand feel good about it, so they will be more likely to stick with that brand next time they buy. Supermarkets also do the same thing sometimes, trying to improve the perception of the brand to get people in the door (Aldi / Lidl / Netto did this extensively in the UK when they first started moving into the UK about 10 years ago. It has worked, despite their initial "cheap and nasty" image, they have taken a fair slice of the UK grocery market between them)
I’ve always found it funny that there’s no notification of an advertisement break on American TV; you’ll be watching a programme and immediately it jumps to some woman telling you to use (INSERT NAME OF PRODUCT), which doesn’t seem to make any sense until you think “Ahh, yet another advert”
I thought this would be a short video of you two reacting to ads for the USA and UK. I clicked for some easy breakfast watching. But it was way more informative and better than expected. Nice work.
In a similar vein to product placement: I've noticed that when brand logos are unintentionally visible on TV, they're blurred out in US shows but not here in the UK. Examples include logos on baseball caps and sportswear worn by members of the public in reality shows and news reports. It's just a fact of life that stuff exists and will be visible when you go around with a camera, so what's the big deal?
In New Zealand we have the same jingle that UK has for auto glass repair but its for a company called smith and smith. So the jingle goes “smith and smith repair, smith and smith replace.”
Christina Holmes In germany its „Carglas“ 🎵🎶 CARGLAS repariert, CARGLAS tauscht aus. 🎶🎵 (it's literally the same but in german except for the company name)
Also in Glasgow but also lived/worked in London. Since the advent of digital tv ads can now be locally targeted on tv, it is better utilised on radio and online streaming incidentally.
There are sometimes regional TV adverts but not very often. I live in Wales, and sometimes get ads for Welsh car dealerships, but it is useless because I live in North Wales and regional ads are always for South Wales
Yep and we also DO have our own regional TV - BBC Scotland and ITV Scotland (STV). They both have studios in Glasgow and much of the content (especially advertising) is only ever shown in Scotland 😀 PS. I absolutely HATE limescale and I'm so glad we don't have it here!

In the US 50 miles away is 'just down the road'. I wonder how big the population is in their 'regional' TV zones. We have regional TV for England, Scotland, Wales and NI but breaking them down more than that seems a bit overkill for the population densities 😄
@@chevronm.1019 I live in carlisle and sometimes ill get ads for Warwick Road beds or screwfix carlisle, but usually, localised ads tend to be for places in Workington or Maryport, which is weird given carlisle is 4x the size of both of them.
In Scotland, we have BBC reporting Scotland (all of Scotland) and on stv (our version of itv) it's more regional, like north east, highlands and islands, Glasgow area and Edinburgh.
As a Broadcast Engineer, I can inform you that ITV does still carry regional ads. There are now fewer regions, but still enough so that (for example) an ad break in Yorkshire might have one or two ads different to London. Scottish Media Group, which runs STV, is not part of ITV yet, it is still a separate company and therefore more frequently has regional opt-outs.
Likewise, whenever we get Channel 4 or UTV (which is ITV but for Ulster/Northern Ireland) in Ireland (Many Irish homes get access to the British channels through Sky/satellite/Freeview dish - they would have pretty big audiences in Ireland too), we would get many of the same ads we'd get in Irish TV
Surprisingly, for someone who travels around a lot, has lived abroad, and makes 'educational' programs about geography, Jay has a *very* narrow and anglo-/london-centric view of the UK. He's also not afraid of being completely wrong, but acting like he is handing out pure fact. But don't worry: now that people like you, who actually know what you are talking about, have given him the right information he will definitely ignore it completely like he always does :P

Daniel Thrasher also does a sketch advert at the end of his sketches, & he introduced them by saying something like ‘stick around after this sketch for another sketch that happens to be paid for’ Also, speaking of phone number jingles, there is a British insurance company called Hastings Direct & there used to be an advert where they would sing the phone number which ended with 1066, which was the year of the Battle of Hastings

You should talk about British vs American radio! A lot of the America advertisements like things that were mentioned in this video are on British radio shows!
We do have regional targeted ads in the UK. I live in Wiltshire but when we travel to Lancashire the ads on TV are slightly different - like ads for theme parks, shopping centres, shops etc.
Interested to know when the US starts showing them too. Do they have an ad that the nation accepts as officially starting Xmas like we do with the Holidays are Coming coke ad
The Haribo song in Spain goes: vive el sabor mágico, ven al mundo Haribo! And autoglass is carglass and the jingle goes: carglass cambia (replace), carglass repara (repair). It's basically the same in every country it seems. I enjoyed these two videos a lot!
Visiting the US in the ‘90s I was amazed at the constant advertisements for prescription drugs on the television. The thought of being prescribed something by your doctor and saying “but why can’t I have xyz as I saw it on TV” is bizarre. The other thing that I found weird was the really washed out NTSC picture!

In Britain it's "Autoglas repair, Autoglas replace" ?? In Austria it is the same jingle but it says "Carglas repariert, Carglas tauscht aus". And Auto is the German word for Car. They just switched languages? I'm confused.
Awesome episode! And you probably didn't know: That Haribo jingle was used in Germany since the 1930s (!) and Haribo got it's name from the name of its founder and where the factory was: Hans Riegel, Bonn. More useless advertising knowledge, yay! 😉

I remember when I was younger and lived in England, Disney channel never has any adverts on sky and Nickelodeon only had ads that were for new shows, and other tv program had like 2 adds every half an hour. Moving to Canada I was shocked that they would show an ad right before the ending theme song of a program or just in random places which usually ruins the suspense or drama of a show
Telling you about other shows on the channel itself isn't ads, legally speaking. In Sweden at least, where the ad blocks begin and end with a sign that tells you there will be ads and that it's over; only third-party content was featured. Upcoming shows was featured after the ad block.
I want every single video to be with Jay, his voice frequency is so soothing, like not even his voice but the the way it actually goes through my ears feels very soothing. I felt educated watching this and nostalgic bc I lived in Aus now and I miss the UK
Advertising directly to patients is against regulations in the UK. The MHRA will investigate any accusations that a company is directly advertising prescription-only medicines to patients.
Don't forget that everything in the US is made from MILITARY GRADE HARDWARE! Which should not be a selling point, because that just means it was made by the lowest bidder with the cheapest materials.

I remember as a kid visiting family in Scotland, (I'm from England) my cousin taking time out to explain to me about these two amazing Scottish products, and that he would get me some to take home with me. Irn bru and tunnocks teacakes. I didn't have the heart to tell him that every single shop in England sold them. Or the fact that when he told me that irn bru was the perfect accompaniment to a fish supper, that was my usual choice, so I had to pretend like it was my first time having it. A few years later (in adulthood) he now moved to England and discovered a few facts about irn bru that he didn't know (it's not made from girders, it's actually bottled at both the barr factory in Scotland AND the barr factory in England, also the fact even though it outsells any other soft drink in Scotland, it actually sells more units in England just because there is a bigger population here.) Also, he found out that it's been available just as long in England as Scotland, and won't let me forget that I owe him a 48 case of irn bru, because I let him buy me a case to bring home when I pretended we couldn't get it, to spare his feelings after he was so enthusiastic about it.
@@mrbrown2186 You were a wonderfully considerate cousin. Have you ever asked him how he would have felt if you'd told him? I think an honest answer on his part would make the cost of a case of Irn Bru seem as nothing.

Yep, every ITV region has different ads. It is often hard to spot though as most adverts are for generic products or services (e.g. cereals) and the advertiser buys advertising space in every region.
15:00 - Localised ads do exist in the UK as back in 2013 (or around that time) I observed a TV ad for a local business in my town. It was a relatively simple advert and I believe it even mentioned the road it was on.

In Germany there has to be a "Now comes the advertising" scene between program and ads. Another example is that you even have to mark unpaid ads if you have tagged a product on IG or something because you could want a contract with them in the future.
And in German Kids' TV, it is not allowed to have ads in the middle of a show, but only between two shows.
Is that true even of streaming services like Netflix? and TH-cam?
@@robmaule4025 Netflix doesn't have ads.
But TH-cam doesn't tell it's an ad first, but it does tell it's an ad during the ad at least. I'm from Sweden though, and at least on kids channels (I haven't watched TV much lately) it does also say it's an ad before and after the ad block.

Nice video!
Minor corrections for those who care:
There are multiple regions in Scotland for the BBC news. There's Edinburgh, Glasgow, etc.
And, fun (?) fact, the "washing machines live longer with Calgon" ad is about limescale that happens because of hard water - that is, water with high levels of certain minerals, which create limescale.
Scotland doesn't have this problem, so we don't often see those Calgon ads. We have what's called 'soft' water, and don't have limescale.
Also Scotland has multiple "ITV" stations or "STV" there are a couple regions. You have dundee + perth, glasgow, inverness and edinburgh. (might be more) each of these have local adverts.
You have the same Calgon jingle translated in french (at least in Belgium). This could also explain the name of the company: "limescale" in french is "calcaire", and so Calgon could be a contraction of "limescale gone" :)
Oh lord microregions. My girlfriend tells me tales of the Grampian microregion adverts.
@@LazyMasterGamer Maybe. But its more likely that the Cal stands for Calcium, which is what lime scale is, calcium carbonate deposits. From what I understand. Calgon is an American company, so it doesn't make much sense for them to use a French name really.
I'd never considered that they wouldn't run calgon ads in places with soft water. It makes perfect sense.

the one advert you missed was Hastings direct: 0 800 double-0 10 66
I was wondering if this would be mentioned, I remember it so clearly even though the last time I heard it was probably over 10 years ago now
MrShroud I think I’ve heard it recently - like in the last year or so - with the new advert with the seagull and the statue of King Harold
I never knew what company this was for. But "Hastings Direct" makes perfect sense thinking about it.
@@GeorgeSmithCoD Is that ad national then? I live near Hastings so it would be weird knowing someone from Yorkshire (for example) is seeing the same ad of the statue that I've actually seen 😂

Tom Tucker what are you on
@Tom Tucker the absolute ridiculousness of this interaction has me in stitches
I always loved the one with him and Gazza 😁
honestly evan and jay in one video is such a good idea
Jay Foreman's channel is literally the only channel where I look forward to watching the ad at the end because he makes it entertaining.
From what we see over here in the UK, American commercials seem to use a lot of peer pressure to sell their products - lots of young, attractive people sitting around having a great time sharing Pringles. In the UK, Gary Linekar steals your crisps if you aren't careful.
US consumer culture is very different. If you don't make a hard sell, a US consumer will wonder what's wrong with your product, that you don't have the confidence to push it. A UK (and European more generally) consumer tends to see a hard sell as a sign that your product can't sell without it. That's why you only rarely see the same ads being shown in the US and Europe, if an ad is suitable for one territory, it probably won't work in the other
You're correct. I think half of Americans' neuroses wouldn't exist if TV ads weren't continually implying they are inadequate/smelly/unattractive/unlikeable/unfashionable/a miserable failure if they aren't using Product X. I remember when a few TV ads were clever and/or funny.
We have to warn our children at a very young age to fear the Gary linnekar, his hunger for crisps is insatiable.
@@talltroll7092 it's strange: in the US, the culture seems to be that the customer is always right, yet they're marketed to as if there's something wrong with them that Miracle Product X can fix. I was once told that (maybe only in the UK) adverts aren't there to make you buy the product but to raise your awareness of it, so anything that's quirky or memorable goes down really well over here rather than the hard sell.
@@hughtube5154 Some adverts (mostly for cars, and other big ticket items) aren't there as direct sales pitches, but to make people who already bought that brand feel good about it, so they will be more likely to stick with that brand next time they buy. Supermarkets also do the same thing sometimes, trying to improve the perception of the brand to get people in the door (Aldi / Lidl / Netto did this extensively in the UK when they first started moving into the UK about 10 years ago. It has worked, despite their initial "cheap and nasty" image, they have taken a fair slice of the UK grocery market between them)
i think the funniest part of american ads is when you first have an ad for a drug followed by "have you been hurt by this drug? you can sue them"
That and, "don't take drug A if you're allergic to drug A."
Lmbo yeeeeessssss... It is bad. Now you know why everyone streams here.
I’ve always found it funny that there’s no notification of an advertisement break on American TV; you’ll be watching a programme and immediately it jumps to some woman telling you to use (INSERT NAME OF PRODUCT), which doesn’t seem to make any sense until you think “Ahh, yet another advert”

I thought this would be a short video of you two reacting to ads for the USA and UK. I clicked for some easy breakfast watching. But it was way more informative and better than expected. Nice work.
In a similar vein to product placement: I've noticed that when brand logos are unintentionally visible on TV, they're blurred out in US shows but not here in the UK. Examples include logos on baseball caps and sportswear worn by members of the public in reality shows and news reports. It's just a fact of life that stuff exists and will be visible when you go around with a camera, so what's the big deal?
Surprised you didn’t mention the hype and competition about the Christmas ads!! Great video nonetheless x
Evan’s lived here so long that he’s probably just as hyped for them as British people are

The U.K. does have regional ads but I’m sure I’ve only heard them on the radio
Kimberley West I am from Scotland and with ITV I have regional ads for Scotland and glasgow
Also in Glasgow but also lived/worked in London. Since the advent of digital tv ads can now be locally targeted on tv, it is better utilised on radio and online streaming incidentally.
There are sometimes regional TV adverts but not very often. I live in Wales, and sometimes get ads for Welsh car dealerships, but it is useless because I live in North Wales and regional ads are always for South Wales
they very rarely do have them on TV for like local shopping centres or large car dealerships or for attractions like zoos or theme parks
Beth Jolie Yes exactly! There’s that St David’s shopping centre in Cardiff and that silent advert for the car dealership.
I am in Scotland and I would always get ads for things to tackle limescale but there is no limescale were i am from

In the uk we do have localised ads, but personally i find i only see one every week or so and most of them are adverts for places 50 miles away
Aidan McRoy I’m pretty sure in the midlands (where i am) we’re more likely to get ads for like Alton towers and Water world. It’s regional i think
In the US 50 miles away is 'just down the road'. I wonder how big the population is in their 'regional' TV zones. We have regional TV for England, Scotland, Wales and NI but breaking them down more than that seems a bit overkill for the population densities 😄

As a Broadcast Engineer, I can inform you that ITV does still carry regional ads. There are now fewer regions, but still enough so that (for example) an ad break in Yorkshire might have one or two ads different to London.
Scottish Media Group, which runs STV, is not part of ITV yet, it is still a separate company and therefore more frequently has regional opt-outs.
Likewise, whenever we get Channel 4 or UTV (which is ITV but for Ulster/Northern Ireland) in Ireland (Many Irish homes get access to the British channels through Sky/satellite/Freeview dish - they would have pretty big audiences in Ireland too), we would get many of the same ads we'd get in Irish TV
Surprisingly, for someone who travels around a lot, has lived abroad, and makes 'educational' programs about geography, Jay has a *very* narrow and anglo-/london-centric view of the UK. He's also not afraid of being completely wrong, but acting like he is handing out pure fact. But don't worry: now that people like you, who actually know what you are talking about, have given him the right information he will definitely ignore it completely like he always does :P
ITV has advertising regions that align to the former Franchise areas. These became MacroRegions when it came to Channel 4 advertising space.
Love how politely Jay handles being constantly interrupted. "Exactly the words I was going to use..."
"Flash aaahhhh Cleans up the impossible"
"The official food of everything"
"Go Compaarrreee"
"Compare the market, Simples"
"washing machines live longer with calgon"

In the south west we get local ads on ITV!
It’s mostly sofa shop or carpet shop adverts who say their location
BRISTOL CARPETS. CHAPEL LANE. FISHPONDS TRADING ESTATE. OPEN 7 DAYS
We get local ads on itv as well except we call it UTV cos it's for Ulster
Yeah we get like big car suppliers like trade centre uk and they advertise like ‘just off junction 3A on the M6’ 😂
I remember thinking our carpet ads were local, but was disgusted when I left home and realised that Flamingo Land adverts weren't national. Tha't missing out
Haskins in Shepton Mallet and Dfs :)
Radio ads is where most local ads in the uk come from . Mostly because allot of areas have local radios , such as my home town always advertises the shopping centre and things like plumbers and sparks
BRISTOL CARPETS CHAPEL LANE FISHPONDS TRADING ESTATE OPEN 7 DAYS
all said in a very strong obnoxious bristolian accent. and it's now at the point where he acknowledges how recognisable his name is on the radio
AUTOGLASS REPAIR, AUTOGLASS REPLACE
Radio is, after all, a lot less expensive than Television and often has a smaller physical reach. Much better grounds for local advertising.
Daniel Thrasher also does a sketch advert at the end of his sketches, & he introduced them by saying something like ‘stick around after this sketch for another sketch that happens to be paid for’
Also, speaking of phone number jingles, there is a British insurance company called Hastings Direct & there used to be an advert where they would sing the phone number which ended with 1066, which was the year of the Battle of Hastings
We don’t need area specific ads in the UK because it’s tiny 😂
The UK has area-specific brands, and has had, and still has to some degree, area-specific ads.
Except when you add Northern Ireland into the mix water is still an obstacle
The only time I've ever heard regional ads is on regional or area specific radio stations 😂
Aye it’s tiny but there’s more change in such a small distance if u go 5 miles in America then not much has changed over here if u go 5 miles the accents r completely different and everything has changed

Telling you about other shows on the channel itself isn't ads, legally speaking. In Sweden at least, where the ad blocks begin and end with a sign that tells you there will be ads and that it's over; only third-party content was featured. Upcoming shows was featured after the ad block.

I didn't have the heart to tell him that every single shop in England sold them. Or the fact that when he told me that irn bru was the perfect accompaniment to a fish supper, that was my usual choice, so I had to pretend like it was my first time having it.
A few years later (in adulthood) he now moved to England and discovered a few facts about irn bru that he didn't know (it's not made from girders, it's actually bottled at both the barr factory in Scotland AND the barr factory in England, also the fact even though it outsells any other soft drink in Scotland, it actually sells more units in England just because there is a bigger population here.) Also, he found out that it's been available just as long in England as Scotland, and won't let me forget that I owe him a 48 case of irn bru, because I let him buy me a case to bring home when I pretended we couldn't get it, to spare his feelings after he was so enthusiastic about it.
@@mrbrown2186 You were a wonderfully considerate cousin. Have you ever asked him how he would have felt if you'd told him? I think an honest answer on his part would make the cost of a case of Irn Bru seem as nothing.

Yep, every ITV region has different ads. It is often hard to spot though as most adverts are for generic products or services (e.g. cereals) and the advertiser buys advertising space in every region.
15:00 - Localised ads do exist in the UK as back in 2013 (or around that time) I observed a TV ad for a local business in my town.
It was a relatively simple advert and I believe it even mentioned the road it was on.
Its amazing that Jay is still so funny and quick witted without the quick editing or skits.
Radio ads can be local since there are more local radio stations(the number was for chat back,thanks big fat quiz)
