The ketchup one is Czech, but originally it comes from a Swedish movie.
Food ads are country specific in Europe , but soap ads are basically same.
I really like the Canal+ advert, as well as the Heinz one.
There are more of them actually, I think 2 or 3 versions.
(They were quite successful at the time, I recognised them instantly, and found them excellent and original)
Treat me like a ketchup bottle is a crazy line
The Czechs are drinking a lot.
@@PROVOCATEURSK He would have gotten his BJ if he just said treat me like a beer bottle...
If you think this is crazy, you should see what we were producing in 90's. :-)
He's not wrong.
that "dad, I'm pregnant" -"oops" joke has a very high quality/quantity ratio xD
It took me a second but when she said it could be so dark, I lost my shiz!
Alabama vibes
German coast guard ad is a jewel.
That one is the best
What are you sinking about?
Not a coast guard ad really, but an ad of a language education company (Berlitz Corporation), but indeed one of the funniest I've ever seen.
but also dont ever forget Panda Cream Cheese,even though it isn´t from a European Brand
Ketchup was Czech. They are wild 🤣
Its also exactly the same scen as in a Swedish movie from 2004, its called hipp hipp hora (hipp hipp whore) Hora kinda sounds like "hurra" which is as in english cheering "hooray"
They are wilder than Germans, i know.
Well the scene is from the swedish Movie "fucking Ämål"
@@robertberg1609 no, it's from hipp hipp hora.
@@Henrik_Holst ok I probably mixed it up
The guy screaming, because he didn't know he had another passenger, leaves me busted from laughing.
The "I'm pregnant" "oops" was so quick that I registered your priceless reaction before I registered the actual joke.
My..."Just Imagine..." is watching No Protocol smile." It's always the best part of my day!
She has a great smile.
@@zakalwe2240 I know! I say it a lot. She is probably sick of me go on about her incredible smile.
@@zakalwe2240 Uh-oh, you just assumed someone's gender
She really is gorgeous 😊
@@CyberBeep_kenshi She is intelligent. She is young. She is beyond beautiful. She is also a very nice person. She is going to do well in life.
you could try out the Central Beheer Company ads,a insurer from the Netherlands.i watched almost 30 of them and they all were really great ^^
Even Apeldoorn bellen
Ook Delta Lloyd had goede filmpjes. En de Fiat Panda reclame uit de jaren 80 ook nog steeds leuk
There are a couple that should have been included in this list. There are some very funny ones from an insurance company called "Centraal Beheer". Too many of their commercials to list, but maybe the Picknick one or the Acupunctuur commercial is funny. You don't need subtitles or translations for any of them, it all relies on visual story telling.
Then there is the "fake" Mastercard commercial called "Priceless" that was originally a comedy skit, also very funny and I wish that would have aired on TV. I would have absolutely gotten a Mastercard because of that one!
You mentioned you'd take a job doing sounds for films. The people who do that are called Foley artists, and they basically spend their days in a sound studio trying to create sounds for movies and such. I only know this because I'm a writer in advertising and I've had to go to my share of "Foley sessions" to help decide what sounds are best for the TV commercials I've written/produced. Years ago, I did a BMW commercial that featured a CGI penguin, so I attended the foley session at the Warner Bros sound studios in Hollywood. It was a fun experience watching a large 60-year-old man making the sounds of a little penguin walking through the snow. The sound they used for the penguin letting out a huge sigh was actually done by me, so I've got that going for me. Anyway, that Foley thing does look like a fun gig.
cool story. love your avatar.
1. Stan Laurel made the eating of a banana into an art form.
2. Anybody into Irish folk music is always listening to lyrics in a language they don't understand. How many people know Gaelic?
3. Well done for not having a TV. You just went up another notch.
European ads are wild. I’m an actor and I once auditioned to play a giant finger. Wasn’t the worse part not to get. I did get a recall though 🤷♂️😂
Funniest I have ever seen was Amercian tho, the one about a German coast guard getting a distress call. 'Vot are you sinking about'
Two ads you should watch is ''A helmet has always been a good idea'' and ''Do it for Mom (do it for Denmark)''.
Forgot about that ketchup one. Spat out me tea.
people who worry about what others think when you eat a banana have issues...
i never got that whole problem, I'll chomp 'm down while intensly looking at you :P
ah yess, its the problem of the people who care and not of the ones who make it weird
@@panxtomate8822 The one's eating it, calling other people creeps, are the ones that make it weird.
@@SonOfMuta The whole premise of the commercial is men staring at women and other men while eating bananas... The commercial works because this is something that happens.
I feel sorry for someone eating a banana. I can't explain it, but it's got nothing to do with the suggestiveness. Weirdly my brother has the same thing. We laugh about it whenever one of us remembers 😂
Always a good day when you manage to catch a new No Protocol video right before bedtime.
Have a good night!
@@NoProtocol Many thanks. Same to you.
Totally agree
@@NoProtocol I bought my first record in London in 1960.
Astrud Gilberto singing "Desafinado" with George Michael is one of my favourite 10 songs of all time. ENJOY...
Your reaction to the Heinz commercial 🤣🤣🤣
I've been a guy for 66 years now. Guys are gonna look weather you're eating a banana or not. So just go ahead and eat the banana. Do what you want.
Love your channel! 😊
Were you born a guy, or did you have a previous life?
@@_BangDroid_
🤣😂🤣
Fair question.
Bananas main pro is that they contain magnesium.
Also potassium
@@NoProtocol Indeed! In all honesty, I quickly looked it up 🤫
They also taste good and feel good in mah belly xD
edit: for real though, they really help when you have problems with your digestion.
I've heard that there are a few places that still grow the "Gros Michel" bananas. I've heard they actually tasted closer to synthetic banana flavor they still use in candies. Sweeter, bigger, and with more flavor is how I've heard them described. I'd love the chance to try one someday; all we get any more are from the Cavendish clone.
@@ravenward626 Good luck finding those!They must cost an arm and a leg to get if it possible at all to get any of them.
"Banned Commercials - Learn English" and the trunk monkey series are good two!
The ketchup commercial is originally from the Swedish movie "Hipp Hipp Hora" (Hipp Hipp.. Whore) from 2004
bypass the problem by not eating the banana in slow motion. Just eat normally, and if there are any staring creeps, use teeth.
Or eat it like an ear of corn.
This was a joke
Thanks for the music tips!
And your comments on the first commercial made me think of the saying I heard a long time ago: "She's such a prude she eats her bananas sideways."
You must watch best of Irn Bru ads. Irn Bru (pronounced iron brew) is a soft drink made in Scotland , tag line 'Made From Girders' till the pedantic Ad Authority watchdog banned that line, cos it misleads the public in thinking it was made from girders! Doh!
the heinz ad was likely in cinemas
that was so fun, do more ads please !
We will in the future! I liked them too 😂
The ketchup add is absolutely fine for kids: The ones whom shouldn't understand the joke will not understand the joke because they have no idea what you could hold in a car in a situation like this. And the ones whom understand the joke - they can't be shocked by it anymore.
My parents answered me whatever question about sex at whatever age I had. Their philosophy was: When he's mature enough to ask the question he will also understand the answer - if not too detailed.
Hi! I’m new here and European. I’d say it’s key for market strategies to adjust to cultural differences in markets. So you’re spot on there. In general European commercials are more relaxed on subjects like sex and drinking because they are often relatable and easy to engage with and make fun of at the same time. In America things are a bit more prude I think. Also language wise we allow more curse words in daytime tv than America does
Ketchup made you laugh though ! lol
You have a very infectious smile, always great to watch a No Protocol video!
Creeps be creeping no matter what you do. Don't let them stop you from enjoying things.
Those "weird" things only happen if people sexualise the act of eating a banana, if people eat them like monkeys do (which is probably how most people does), no one cares about it.
I haven’t belly laughed in a long time. I needed that. Apparently European commercials are more edgy than American ones.
My favorite was DEFINITELY your face, your laugh and your intelligent comment 😍
Seeing the Antônio Carlos Jobim "Água de Beber" recommendation, I am reminded of his "Waters of March" ("Águas de Março"), which I first heard on Art Garfunkel's second solo album, "Breakaway" during the mid-70's. Jobim seemingly had a preoccupation with water, at least as far as song titles are concerned, that is, as the latter is a random listing of images that are for the most part unrelated to water. The song is nevertheless pleasing to hear, as is the recommended Gilberto track. Thank you for posting!
90's and 00's EU commercials are the best, no brakes all gas
Some ads from the 90s and 2000s from Australia are still in pop culture. "Great Wall Of China" etc
The issue with the Banana is...There's Some creeps
... MEN! JUST SAY MEN LMAO!!!
The Canal+ was my favorite.
6:59 Czech guy here.
Yeah, it was on all national TVs
And back then (if I remember correctly) we had only couple TV channels, but it was on all.
Czech commercials are known to be either rly dark, funny or "not giving single f*ck". And sometimes (like in this case) they are combination of all 3.
There is a video called the most effective british adverts which is worth a look, more like PSAs than product commercials but they used to be on tv all the time.
Irn bru commercials are entertaining as are tango commercials.
John lewis christmas commercials are pretty good too.
Bare in mind that US R rated movies are often rated 15+ to 12+ in Europe, sometimes even PG. There's a whole different culture and education about it, more about making things natural and explained rather than hide images and censor words.
"Moyo Wangu" by Thomas Mapfumo. Zimbabwean music. I heard it playing once in a store on Commercial Drive in Vancouver, BC, didn't know the artist or the language, but I felt the heart of it, which turned out good because "Moyo Wangu" translates as "My Heart."
You should watch South African funniest commercials (adverts) too. 😊
There used to be a show in the late 90s early 2000s here in the U.K called 'Tarrant on TV'
Where they would show all kinds of insane European ads and other TV, I think all the episodes are here on YT if you're curious.
3:14 well they didn't squeezed 2 more seats on a Smart, this is just based on Renault Twingo that is a four seater
I bought my first record in London in 1960.
Astrud Gilberto singing "Desafinado" with George Michael is one of my favourite 10 songs of all time. ENJOY...
A banana is portable? That’s the best you can do? Well, so is a cucumber!
In my country, we got tv show about ads around the world. Since i was kid it was aeound the only great stuff i loved watching on sunday.
Always entertaining
Loved watching you crack up. My favorite actually was the "Dad, I'm gay" one. Just the truncated emotional response was brilliant. Second would be the ketchup commercial.
That's why I eat my bananas horizontally.
In the Netherlands you can see those (Heinz) commercials after 9 o'clock in the evening. So not during the day
Berlitz german coast guard commercial is the funniest Ive seen
I like the way that the song “Oran Na Cloiche” flows. I don’t know the words because I don’t speak Gaelic.
Watching commercials from other countries points out how uptight we Americans are. I love them. I must admit though, I was stunned by the Heinz ad. I'm surprised Heinz okayed that one, but I guess it's as you say; companies and ad agencies must adjust their ads to fit their target customers in each country. 😮
If you go 90's, early-00's, you'll have a blast.
There were even weekly shows about the "best" (funniest) commercials around EU (maybe the whole Europe).
Unfortunately, I forgot the name ofcthe show.
I already know and love both music recs so I want to give you one, Sofrito by Mongo Santamaria is a favourite of mine even though I don't speak the language.
Smart also has a roadster which looks pretty cool.
For some more funny commercials, check out:
AIWA - Another one Bites the Dust
Blaupunkt Car Stereo (there's a stuffed bunny and bear in the thumbnail)
Toyota - Have you ever seen a broken down Toyota?
Songs in languages I don't speak but liked anyway:
Gyöngyhajú Lány - Omega (Hungarian)
99 Luftballons - Nena (German)
Árbakkinn - Ólafur Arnalds (Icelandic)
Fado Menor - ??? (Portugese)
And I don't know if this counts but theres a whole album by the group E.S. Posthumus titled "Unearthed" where they have a female vocalist singing in a completely fictionally language. The album is about a voyage around the world discovering the different unknown cultures around the world. Many of the tracks are named after foreign cities like Cuzco, Nara, Ninevah & Ulaid. You can hear some inspiration of the cities they represent in the instrumentation of each song.
I don't know if you've ever reacted to Eurovision, but I think you'd have fun watching it. [I know Eurovision 2024 is probably not the best contest/year to start watching, but there's Eurovision guides on TH-cam and they explain what the contest is, and how it works]
Sound effects artists are called Foley artists. Also, If you eat a banana in public and it becomes awkward, just own it. Make it awkward for them. Out creepin' a creep is hilarious.
For music: I think I recommended this before but check out "Estrelar" by Marcos Valle (plus it was used in a beer commercial a few years ago).
The "Hug" add is Swiss. "Guetzli" is the Swiss-German word for cookies.
Since you said you havent laughed at a commercial in a while you got to react to the greatest commercial of all time dirt devil exorcist. I watch that commercial probably 4 times a year
That Canal+ ad with the guy in the closet reminded of the song "Your Honour" by Pluto Shervington.
The ketchup one is actually a scene from a Swedish movie that someone edited into a fake commercial
Good to know *starts to research as of such a cute guy*
@@mlee6050 I believe the movie is "Hipp Hipp Hora"
@@antivanti ironic when Google that, the title it shows me "the ketchup effect"
@@mlee6050 Oh. Yeah that seems to be the English title. Guess they wanted to capitalise on the meme of this scene 🤷
it's not edited, the actors from the movie looks nothing like the ones in the commercial and they are clearly speaking Czech and not Swedish. Heinz in Czechoslovakia simply reenacted the scene from the movie.
The ketchup commercial reached Sweden 😂 think we even dubbed it
Love your deep voice. Matches up perfectly with your gorgeous complexion and face.
Some funny commercials are "Trunk Monkey" and Terry Tate: Office Linebacker" there are compilations if the commercials
Regarding bananas, they were made that shape by banana growers who cultivated them that way. 11-)
4:11 p.m.
Thanks for the music choice...has the same vibe as Torul. And no i dont speak Slovenian but its brilliant stuff.
Czech Republic is wild. No wonder they have their own p*rn category :D (Btw the ketchup one is Czech)
Oh ok, it’s Czech! Thank you
@@NoProtocol recommend watching some 'Algemeen Beheer' (Dutch insurance company) vids.
As a matter of fact; funny Dutch commercials in general.
Doesn't every country?
We have that cattegory because of the production volume, not because of wierdness. I almost forgot that one, it was definitely on regular channels, but after 10PM, the best adds are aired in that time, most ppl are drunk and the TV rules are basically non-existant.
Great music suggestions - my favourite foreign (well, foreign to me) language song at the moment is 'Peupleraie by Clément Froissart'. Great vocals combined with a very ethereal, hypnotic sound :)
He wants it to be treated like a bottle of Ketchup, and thinks of "shaking" up and down. And she handles Ketchup bottles differently...
The Canal one made me LOL. The banana should have been a bit creepier. The ketchup made me wince, but perhaps I am too sensitive?
Music, Have you listened to PomplamooseMusic? I like their recording of, Sous le Ciel de Paris | Edith Piaf | Pomplamoose ft. Ross Garren.
the ketchup was so good
Idk if someone would watch me eat a banana I'd just stare at them while eating. Bet they get more uncomfortable.
Also damn I thought the same with the channel+ and the last one!
I like you don't overreact and keep it like you feel, also I really like your voice. Favorite one has to be the Heinz one and the first Vodaphone one those are top notch!
Keep it up and greetings from Austria 👋
Music recommendation 🤔Heilung Norupo which helped me a lot to get over the loss of close family, probably the closest thing you can get to ancient European music. The name of the band means healing in german.
Companies are on top of the cross cultural thing, due to a series of mistakes.
One example was by Chevrolet. They made a successful (in English speaking countries) called the Nova. They couldn't give them away in Spanish speaking countries. Finally, someone at the company found out that in Spanish. "No va" means " It doesn't run."
The ketchup one I saw before. Feel like it could have been a superbowl commercial but I remember laughing cause he didn't mean for her to hit it the way she did but that's what she though when hitting to get ketchup.
No Protocol Awesome Video Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎
Good job recognizing Czech!
My favorites were the Czech ad (i think he was expecting a different treatment poor guy), then the Canal+ ad, then the vodafone (oops) XD
If you haven't seen it, the AMAZING "Long Long Man" Japanese commercial mini series and it's probably one of the best I ever seen (both for its humour and because you will never forget their product or their jingle).
The new Smart is just a Renault... 😂
That ketchup commercial would have been too...saucy...for the States.
I love listening to songs in languages I don’t understand
Try Florence Adooni - Mam Pe’ela Su’ure (I don’t even know which language this is)
Mayra Andrade - Ilha de Santiago
Stromae - L’enfer
Thé Magrebhan - Anziilli
Astrud Gilberto also sang The Girl from Ipanema, the elevator song.
Did she sing that? Ahhhh.
I love your intro, or lack thereof.
You have good music taste! I'm surprised to see you talk about Molchat Doma, very alternative and emo but good
My music recommendation for you is Heilung. Absolutely fantastic. The "go to" songs are usually "Anoana", "Krigsgaldr" and "In Maidjan". I would also recommend "Norupo". You can't miss with any of those songs. They also have some tracks that are poems/stories. Can't recommend that group enough. Their shows aren't called concerts, they call them Rituals and they call their music "Amplified History". Can be a spiritual experience listening to them.
Not at all what I was expecting! Very interesting. I see why they’re not referred to as concerts. Looks like an experience
@@NoProtocol The live performances from "Lifa" are the "go to". Anoana and Norupo have great Music Videos. Would love to see a video from you about this group. Thanks for looking into them 🤙✌️
You might like the following video "Neno Belan - DOTAKNI ME USNAMA" (croatian - artist Neno Belan - song: Touch me with your lips)
9:35 ohhhh you got a dirty mind sister :D ... I love it :D
Bananas are the best. No messy and portable 👍 I’ll eat it anywhere 😂
Best commercials are the Vodafone and ketchup 🤣
Banana. The only food I can't eat. My stomach can't digest them. They sit there and sit there. Without warning, up they come. Been hospitalised twice over the years as a result.
I've seen some interesting examples of companies that had to change their product name because of the language or even the name was already taken.
I can't find the exact example anymore. I believe it was in France. The company that was selling their product in France didn't know that a very well known adult magazine was already using the same name.
1:11 Yes, people who have f****d up thoughts while eating banana are real creeps. I would think the person is hungry and offer a piece.
Japanese commercials in a European commercials compilation would have been weird :D (but of course, I get your point!). I don't have A TV for more than 20 years so I don't know how commercials looks like now but I still remember the Canal+ one (I'm French), so I guess they succeeded making it memorable. I found the vodafone and Heinz ones very fun too.
My first thought on that first, banana one, was at the end, "bloody hell, that banana has gone off" when the first bottle was full of purple juice!
The Canal+ ad was fun, some nice 'take you for a ride' (literally) as to where it was going. I spotted where the Heinz advert was going and was already wincing way before the denoument! And that last Vodafone advert, short and hilarious!
In the past (many, MANY) years ago I saw, just the once, an advert on TV which was just a melange of random audio and bizaree light displays - the tag line (for the product whose name I cannot recall) was, ", more tatse than the advertsing".
For music: I'd go for "Limelight" by Rush - not because it's about advertsing, but it IS about being in the public eye, plus it's a dmaned wonderful piece of music!
i LOVED it...."Dad, i'm pregnant"....."ooops"
The Canal+ commercial is my favorite. That was brilliant! LOL 11-)
4:17 p.m.
7:05 The Heinz commercial was apparently from Czech television.
