To explain the end of the sprite commercial:
The other players who are really good only get to meet the teacher once a week while the bad player who drank the sprite gets to practice with her everyday.
EDIT: Due to the sheer number of similar comments, I have realized that a large portion of TwoSetters are Filipino, in which case, HELLO MGA KAPWA PINOY TWOSETTERS
FILIPINO GAAAANG
Di ko ine-expect yung Filipino yung first ad lol
Hello po! Watching from Davao here 🇵🇭
Nice
heeeelo fellow filipino
When she broke the bow for the violin, I could tell that they were both hurt on a spiritual level.
BRO U HELLA EARLY AND U EVERYWHERE WHATT
Stop please.....
Fr lmaooo
hi
WHERE ARE YOU NOT?
“There you go, percussionists…you’re basically diarrhea.”
I was rolling around for a good three minutes
me too, the way he said it was so funny
Its fine, we know
What do percussionists and diarrhea have in common?
They both strike.
I'm cringing so hard right now because all of that sound sounds like the beginner percussion band the first day we all try instruments and bro why diarrhea
as a percussionist I was laughing too
I would really love a video of them taking someone with no music education and teaching them to fake violin playing convincingly
They've done a few where they taught non-musicians to play violin (a little) but your idea is a different twist. I think it would be great if they could actually get some professional actors and teach them how to fake violin.
@@elissahunt yeahI want to see them coach someone to "string-sync" (get it, like lip-sync") a violin clip.
but there might be more scammers because of it
@@Idle_adventures I don't think it would work like this, well, maybe some scammers would learn to look more convincing. Also... what even is the danger of violin scammers?
: So you're an instrumentalist?
: Yeah
: What do you play?

*Opens umbrella*
This is a1000 comment. Got me a hugh laughter
Priceless!
BEST COMMENT RIGHT HERE😂😂😂 I was laughing so hard at that part bahah
Lol I remember ringo in help music video
Aww thanks y'all 🖤
Just some context on the Sprite ad: The tagline “Magpakatotoo Ka!” means be your authentic self. So the green violin dude just admitted how he really plays and was picked out because the girl actually told him that they need to meet everyday and practice for he is the worst player! :)
I was so taken off guard when I understood what they were saying. Lol
eyy Filipino gaaang
Eyy filipino gang!!!
eyyyyyy
It doesn't really make sense, because playing the violin is already one of the most authentic things you can do. You can't fake playing better than you actually do. If the other guys played better that means they are better...
8:17 Asians don't even need to learn instruments.
We just unlock our asian powers and accidentally become Mozart in our sleep.
*As an Asian myself, I confirm this is true*
I'm quite embrassed to say this but "whatever that city is" is actually Istanbul, the stairs at 12:44 are called "Kamondo stairs" which I've climbed every morning to go to my high school. It's a city of 16 millions of people, they could have easily find a violinist (even I would do better, I'm a piano player but also played violin for two years).
Did you go to Saint george high school or German h.s.?
@@zeynepdinckl107 Sankt Georg. If I had gone to German, I'd use Karakoy tunnel. It takes at least 20 minutes to climb up Galata, I wouldn't bother.
Do you happen to know what song was being played in the ad?
I have never touched a violin, but I have obviously been watching Twoset for a long time, because my heart fell out of me when that lady snapped the bow. Holy cow.
same! I think I cringed more than Twoset.
Me too! Just..... WHY?!
I cringe in every instrument breaking, like, have you seen the prices??? I'm a clarinetist and (besides reeds breaking) i flinch/cringe in most instrument breaking videos
I felt like my soul left my body
Same, I don’t play violin but something died inside me
The second ad was actually about a medicine for anxiety and the violin was representing anxiety which is probably worse than a sore throat (although maybe more accurate for some people)
And by breaking that bow, the ad is transferring the anxiety to us.
@@myfyp2 so now we have to buy the anxiety medicine xD
Even though I don’t speak the language, I assumed it was anxiety too because of the music played.
@@philippospratsos4198 also the "ansio-" in the name
@@nanomi4343 Actually that's a brilliant ad, it makes you buy the product:
Before watching it: calm
After watching it: panic
I lost it at "there you go percussionists, you are basically diarrhea" LMAO 5:17
If i tried violin I'm pretty sure I'm "Diarrhea" too 😂😂
I CANT- 😭
The Cantonese ad killed me
“Four hands”
I’m going to die of laughter
The spot where she breaks the bow at the end is in Italian. The product is to help manage anxiety, the latter represented by the violinist doing a tune similar to the "Jaws" theme wherever she goes.
If anything, that does not cure anxiety...
@@nimisha6584 agree. breaking other's violin bow is not anxiety cured
Dvorak 9
@@totoro-chan7700 the irony...
That part gave me anxiety..
When the bar is so low, just getting a real musician is enough to pass lol
Re: Apple Commercial
I have several friends that were in this shoot (all real professional musicians) but what you might not realize is that it’s not an uncommon practice for the director of the commercial to have people switch instruments for the video shoot because they think someone looks more like they play a certain instrument. In this particular video, a few of the violinists aren’t actually violinists. There are music consultants on set that work to make it look as real as possible, from how the group is setup to how the instruments are held. The bassoonist, however, is a real bassoonist and he is truly an amazing musician.
I'm shocked that you guys missed the Jazz Bass being mimed with a MIDI bass at 10:36!! I couldn't stop laughing! The notes from the bass were WAY too even and too perfect to be a real Jazz Bass.
I was looking for someone to say that
THANK YOU!!! as a bassist, the way they skipped over it even tho it was super obvious hurt just a little bit lol
YES!!!! Thank you! As someone from bass gang (specifically Jazz bass gang!) I was *appalled.* The midi sound was so awful and didn't even match up to his hand movements, *and* the notes/phrases they chose were bad too lol. It hurt my soul. I guess they didn't notice it because they were refreshed by the real violinist, but I definitely noticed it. I'm glad someone else did too.
@@cayleece7890 I'm a Jazz player too (trumpet). It hurt my soul too because I love the upright bass
For the first ad actually, he played so bad, that he and the teacher needs to meet every day to practice. Given how the four of them wants to spend more time with their teacher, he takes his awful playing as an ultimate win.😂
Attempt no. 16 at trying to get twoset to do this for a video.
Eddy has to listen to ten violinists play behind a screen. One of them will be Brett. He has to figure out which one. Once he has made his final guess they swap places. They can do it in rounds like the blind date videos.
Please like and comment if you want to see a video like this.
damn good idea
Yeah...Great idea
That’s actually a great idea
Some day it will happen!
I prefer sooner than later. Listen up Twoset, we are waiting. 😄
That's actually a good idea 💡
I play flute but when the girl broke the bow it both physically and mentally hurt me
I think the ironic thing about the sprite ad is that the green violin guy actually kept his bow very parallel to the bridge, and also the sounds that he made were pretty reasonable compared to bow movement, like the strings his bow was on and stuff.
When the bow breaks:
Violinists: it's the sound of heart breaking
*gets cardiac arrest*
**ambulance noises**
I just want to point out as a harpist that at 3:57 the harp is absolutely on the wrong shoulder but it probably looked better for the ad to make her face visible to the camera. It’s just so wrong though, since harps are built for your right shoulder. The fact that you guys remembered that from your lesson and pointed it out makes me so happy.
I mean if they don't attend to such (important) details, this could imply that attention to detail isn't reflected in their product either...
@@wakingtheworld That's a fair point, but it's super common in advertising (and film) to go for what "looks good" over authenticity.
I was going to comment this! 100% think this poor harpist was triggered but it was done for the ad.
@@rebeccaainsworth9907 as a harpist I wouldn’t be caught dead with a harp on my left shoulder and would have asked them to just rearrange the ensemble 😂😂
I was just about to comment the same thing, so thanks for pointing it out already! The harpist was probably positioned correctly, but the producer or director was like "actually, it looks better on the other side, so we can see your face". Otherwise she would have been covered by the strings, and from a photographers/artists point of view it does make perfect sense to change that - even though it's wrong posture and you wouldn't play the harp like that.
Whenever I see these on TV, I only have two things to say:
1. RIP violin
2. RIP film crew's ears
10:58don't you love when you get more than you expected?
AHAHAH the second one is an italian ad, the man playing the violin represents anxiety, so she breaks the bow to break free. Still sacrilegious, but not completely nonsense
I could tell immediately it was for anxiety! A good analogy, despite the sacrilege.
Sacrilege or not, if some chucklefuck ghost was haunting me day and night playing anxiety music in my soul, I'd break his bow and feel totally justified. It'd be self defense at that point!
Dear ad producers.
If you want to put classical music (especially violin-related) contents in your advertisement, please get Twoset inspection before releasing. You can save lots of souls from cringing/pain.
But if they do that, then where will twoset get content?
Unless if it's a skit, which it seemed like, with the dramatic player, the horrible player, and the green monstrosity, which was worse than anything most of us have ever seen, but somehow the best.
4:24 it's actually a left shoulder harp, you can tell by the strings on it and how they face to the right instead of the left, her hand placement is wonky tho
2:26 I think she said "You are the worst so should practice together more" and that is exactly what he wanted
this isn’t a “you cringe you lose” they’re just reviewing and roasting the ads
And we love it!
Atleast we still learn and it is still entertaining
At least the title is a lie!
Wait...
3:03
Me: "hmm, doesn't look that sacrileg-"
*Breaks a precious bow*
Honestly my guess is that they made the poor harpist put the harp on the wrong side so she wouldn’t be obscured by her instrument
5:22..I've being playing drums and percussion for over 40yrs and nobody has ever accused me of causing diarrhea,but I do still love your channel/reactions.
she snapped that bow like it was a twig. im not even a violinist and i felt that in the depths of my soul
In the first ad, the girl was the teacher and at the end of it, he told the guy (the one drinking the soda) that they will practice everyday; while, the others would only meet once a week. That's why the horrid player (all of of them are tbh) was smug. The ad says "Magpakatotoo ka" means to be truthful and because he was "truthful" about his awful playing, he got to spend more time with the attractive teacher.
What Brett said at 9:02 just made me realize why my parents bought this chocolate (just a joke they actually never saw this ad they just bought it cause they heard the chocolate was decent)
Found this channel about a week ago. I forgot I always wanted to play the violin but my parents made me learn piano instead. I am now looking to buy a violin and have subscribed to the channel. Thanks TwoSetViolin!
Please do yourself a favour and don't buy the cheapest instrument you can find on amazon. Go to a reliable maker or (online) store and choose an actual instrument not a VSO (violin shaped object)
How is it going so far?
2:20 for those who cant speak Tagalog, she literally said "You three, let's meet once a week. You. We need to practice every day"
When you think this is the worst ad :
- The next ad will be played ...
uuggh i hate that
5:03 another twoset telepathy moment for the compilers
Brett moved his hand beautifully at 1:48 🥺🌸🥰
Does a real bow break as easily though? I feel she didn't have to make any effort. If it's a fake bow it's a little less sacreligious I think
Real bows would take more force than that to snap in two. Definitely a prop. But, still, the shock value is legit!
@@CopShowGuy Nah, I think it'd be much easier to buy a real and cheap bow than actually create a fake bow that looks real.
I believe they just prepared a little crack on a real bow, or maybe break it beforehand and glue it back, something along that line, to make sure the snapping is clean and crisp.
@@TarunoNafs My take is that's probably a real cheap bow that was cut beforehand, hollowed out on the cut ends and fitted with magnets so it would stay together while in (probably fake) use but also easy to "snap"
@@AK-yy6yf bruh who is hollowing out a bow like that. Just break it and glue it back together LOL
@@westbrook0853 who said to hollow out entire bow. Just drill half a centimeter on each broken end and fit a small magnet in each hole.
It makes it easier to snap than glued one and is reusable in case of a screw up during the recording
2:30 He played the worst so she said that he needs to practice with her every day. He won by loosing. The goal being to spend as much time one-on-one with the hot teacher as possible.
I have an idea for a video inspired by 10:10: A game in which the two of you bow and play on each other's arms and according to the fingering and bowing you guess the song that's being played.
5:54 As a percussionist, I have to laugh.
Edit: Some arrangers do write for four-handed percussionists.
When she broke the bow, I was like *gasp!* *eyes watering*. And I'm a Pianist.
Same
9:55 i kinda missed Bretts Lofi when the rain started pouring
just pointing out, the harp player is positioned that way strictly because of the camera. Her face needs to be visible to the audience, not to the conductor. That's the only reason. :)
Can we acknowledge how strong she was for breaking the bow so easy?💀💀💀
10:48 What they failed to catch though was the double bass player wasn't actually playing and was overdubbed by a sample library in a DAW. Lol
You should stage those commercials, it would be hilarious.
yesss they should
I miss twoset's parodies 😂
Get a sponsor and stage the commercial for them
I unironically like the one where she breaks the bow. Like, I could tell it was somekind of anxiety meds without knowing the language, I like the representation of anxiety as someone stalking you while playing scary music and the actress staring straight into his eyes and breaking his bow is both funny and provides a good idea of what the meds are supposed to do.
I don’t know how well the product works (I have a distrust of anything that looks like essential oils) but I think the writing and delivery of the commercial is good overall even if the playing isn’t spot on.
8:50 those chocolates are soooooooo good
As someone from the Philippines, I would like to apologize to Bret and Eddy, to the music community, and to Ling Ling for these sacrilegious ads
I don't know why would you apologize for something that isn't your fault
@@Harumy0810 At this point it's on our behalf, I'm also someone from the Philippines and I feel so sorry for it 💀
It's the fault of sprite lol.
@@Harumy0810 because the society here (mostly old people that we also call the filipino karens) basically see art and music as something you can't make money off and thus not a successful career to take, so few people actually bother to even call out commercials like these and yet enjoy music and get convinced that they are playing for re
@@erickalouisecanon6384 Effin' Marites.... They're the worst.
For those who didn't understand the First Commercial (Which is in Filipino):
The Beautiful Teacher said to the 3 Students
"Good. You Three, Let's Meet Once a Week".
Then afterwards, she said to the Student with the Green Violin
"And You, we will PRACTICE Together Everday"
I was confused because parts were in English and most of it was not. Is it common in the Philippines to speak partial English like that?
@@CopShowGuy it is common for people in the Philippines to speak partial English. My mom and her friends speak like that, which helps me learn bisaya as they gossip. Usually it's for certain adjectives, but I think they do it more for the trend and to copy celebrities 🤷🏻♀️
@@boek3329 To copy celebrities is not really the main reason for Filipinos speaking English. It's actually the education of English language at an early age in the education system.
@@CopShowGuy To copy celebrities is not really the main reason for Filipinos speaking English. It's actually the education of English language at an early age in the education system.
@@CopShowGuy Yes, it's common for Filipinos to speak partial English as, if I remember, it's considered one of our main languages, and we're one of the top... I think 10 countries for fluency in English.
I've never been involved in filming commercials, but how hard can it possibly be to cast an attractive and photogenic person who actually plays an instrument?!
As a massage therapist I have to point out that the massage technique is as sacrilegious as a flat bridge. 13:59
Newbie violinist here but I understood the first two ads because I speak Tagalog and Italian. My language skills are better than my violin skills lol! Thanks for your global representation TwoSet!
Kumusta kaa
Sanaol
"you cringe you lose"
Brett loses at 0:22
Eddy *awkwardly looks at the camera and grins
"so much is happening"
after she broke the bow and eddie flinched and turned away I couldn't help but notice the two thin clumps of hair sticking out form his head and I giggled
i do like when you get out your violins and demonstrate how these commercials would actually sound.
Just when they have no comment on the second ad, the bow cracks like a twig
I wasn't expecting we'll be seeing a Philippine ad as the first entry 😂
FILIPINO GAANG
Same
There were actually 2 filipino ads hahaha the 4th one was also Filipino
Sprite tsaka Imodium hahaha
@@polpolpol3284 very happy nasama sa roast 5:05 hihi
9:41 reminds me of kendall jenner's *MaEsTrO!*
lmaoo
13:17 city is istanbul /turkey
2:22 The lady actually told the other violin players to meet her once a week because they played better & told the guy with the green violin to spend more time with her everyday so that he could practice violin playing. The guy with the green violin purposely played badly so that he could spend more time with the lady😅. So the ad is actually saying that if you drink Sprite, you'll get smart ideas😂
It's funny that TwoSet commenting on the fact that no-one had shoulder rests, I starting playing in year 4 but I didn't even learn what a shoulder rest was until like year 10 when I got given my uncle's old violin (which had come with one) and even since then the only time I use it is for slides and things where my left hand can't support the violin. (Oh I'm only in year 11 btw so it's not like I've been playing for like 10 years without knowing shoulder rests exist lol)
2:40 that’s an actual ad that aired in italy
It’s about anxiety if anybody wonders, which explains the bow-breaking. Still cringed though
6:06 there's this ad that comes every day around meal time. It deals with the opposite of this issue depicted by ........ KETCHUP! In the end after taking the product man successfully plops a dollop of ketchup happily 😭😭😭😭😭😭
"There you go percussionists, you are basically diarrhea"
Aww man, now my cousin will be heartbroken, she'll have to rethink her career
13:34 when eddy noticed the 4 arms, best reaction
Do you know what the name of that piece is that’s playing?
@@twosetviola1451 yea I think its Mozart Symphony 39
I want two set to continue their criticisms of the ads bc I want the ad companies to hire musicians instead of fakers.
The breaking of the bow was cataclysmic, it's what brought me here. You guys reacted, but then went quickly to the next thing- I don't think it hurt you as much as you portrayed. Don't you care about your bow?
I'm not even a musician, but I gasped in horror when the woman broke the bow.
Have you noticed? 8 minutes ago uploaded and there is an english caption already..which means congrats to whoever was hired! 💕💕
ikr! maybe they added the captions before posting it on public
Agree!!! ❤❤❤ thanks to subtitler-san!
Thanks to subtitle-san ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡
Yeah I noticed! Usually the subtitles don't appear till a few days later, so it's nice to get them at the same time as the video is uploaded!
Yeah! A really nice surprise, I was like "eh it just came out no subt-- ohhhh" ♥
At the end, Editor-San didn't even bother to beep over that one curse word Eddy said (P*ss).
I guess he's cringing too hard at the commercials to care.
...Piss is a swear word somewhere?
I choked on the water I was drinking when she broke the bow of that violinist......As a violinist that was painful😣
Just started out on the violin and I already felt it 😭😭😭
*Petition for Twosetviolin to not forget to react to them reacting to them reacting to their FIRST VIDEO made this Nov 18*
For the last ad: It IS a creative ad, you will certainly remember the product well. I'm quite proud of it, seeing it among the other ads.
~A Hongkonger
Also starring Andy Lau, a HK legend and one of the four heavenly kings. This guy makes everything great.
The Filipino ad for Sprite, the guy with the green violin intentionally made a mistake to spemd more time with the teacher while everyone else did a good job and wil rarely see the teacher
As a violinist, this video caused my physical pain 🫣😱😭😭😭
You know i jumped when i turn on the subtitle and it's already a proper english and not auto-generated. Thank you so much for adding a subtitle 🙏
Really helpful for someone who is not a native english speaker like me 😁❤
"whatever city that us i'm sure you can find a violinist"-eddy
The city from the second to last ad was Istanbul, a city where street musicians are so common, they could have found a competent violinist, like, every two streets to play for them or help the actress.
My main question here is... What does the violins have to do with anything ? Like in most of these ads there being a violon is totally unrelated. That umbrella? And the car add with the real violinist ? What does that have to do with the product at all?
That guy in the first (Sprite) commercial was so bad that the teacher decided to see him everyday. The 3 other guys who were "good" can only see her once a week.
Eddy: "I think I have seen this before."
Brett: "I don't remember it."
Married couple ftw.
Me at 0:15 : wait, i do I understand the language??
Also Me: ohh I'm Filipino, of course I can understand Tagalog 🙄.
P.S I'm language hard😂
Me not noticing the green violin in the background, the position of the bow, or the no shoulder rest: OMG
I had my twitter tab on and switched on it for a sec and played this video. I legit thought that I got a sprite ad (I'm a Filipino hehe) and when I switched back to skip it, turns out it's actually the very first ad they're reacting to AHAHAHAHA
I cringed at two ads here (sprite and imodium) because they both ran in The Philippines... Seeing those ads now compared to when I was little really hits different.
btw, the first ad (sprite) was about the green guy not doing so good that the teacher decided to meet with him everyday for practice than the other three that "somehow" knows how to play that they don't need that much attention.
I love how they pointed out the harp, but left out the lone bassoon next to the viola
Thanks soooo much guys!😂🤣 That was absolutely hillareous! And YES... as a violinist, myself, I cringed more than once🤤😝🤐
damn breaking that bow was savage
The first one tho, I literally saw that on TV Commercials here in the Philippines, lmao. It feels so sacrilegious everytime.
8:36 As a drummer, that action was definitely how we play the drums.
Greatest honor:
No one:
Not even the president:
Twoset: TWOSET APPROVED!!
twoset and a sacrilegious filipino soda commercial is a combination i never knew i'll see in my life LOL
Thank you for this video, Brett and Eddy. Today is my birthday and this really completes my day❤️
Happy birthday 🥳🥳🥳
Happy Birthday!!
@@nnoo528 thank you so much😊
@@KMonsta thank you💛
Happy birthday!
13:49
the fact that i actually know him(as in I know an idol) is kinda cringe to see such ad, and is for OSIM-
Just noticed this, but the date on the violin is "Cremona 1856"... isn't this more than 100 years too late if they're trying to imply it's a famous violin maker... given he lived 1644-1737 (thank you wikipedia)?
