That version of the OXO family ran for about 10 years between the late 1980's to the late 1990's (by which time the marketing agency worked out that the Idea of a large british family all sitting down to dinner at a table at the same time was horrible out of date). However the original OXO couple (and later on family) ran for a little under 20 years from the early/mid 1960's through to the late 1970's.
@@uK8cvPAq Yeah, they had the BT family ads starring Kris Marshall of My Family, as the step dad. There series of ads ran for about 5 years and was then dropped in favour of the short lived BT Student Flat series of adverts.
I was waiting for that In the Summertime drink driving ad. It shocked me the very 1st time I saw it and now it's the one thing that springs to mind when I hear the song
Using some of the same notes, both are played on a violin, but Madonna's intro is in a different tempo, has more notes and is accompanied at every beat by a contrabass. Vauxhall's jingle also goes up a semioctave at the end to give a resolution to the chord, where Madonna's melody goes down a semioctave for the next bar's reset. These would be considered different enough to be their own separate works.
Some real classics this time. Nostalgia overload. Very glad to see you're still doing these! I was actually on your channel just yesterday looking for more reaction stuff.
Damn you Rob! When I saw that rabbit advert, not only did I nearly ruin my pants, I laughed so hard that I almost choked to death. Your videos should come with a health warning!
This year there were 206 choking incidents. That's 206 too many. Laughing kills. Laugh at your own peril. This PSA was paid and endorsed by the Taffe Organisation. Stay safe, Stay smart.
The advert @ 15:23 is by Chris Cunningham - legendary director responsible for several "Aphex Twin" videos (Watch "Come to daddy" for a good example of his tone/work), the video for "Frozen" by Madonna and "All is full of love" by Bjork. I love the guys style - very creepy and odd.
Made me laugh so much your reaction to the jump scare literally laughed so much I was crying lol n by the way to make the last but one advert creepier it's actually based off something that happened in real life was shown the full thing at college when I was 17 traumatised the lot of us
Goddamn it rob!! I somehow managed to inhale Pepsi through my nose when the jumps scare happened and now my nose stings and there is Pepsi on my bed sheets 😂😂. Another fantastic video though Noah x 😊
ISA is a bit more than not paying tax. You actually get a government grant each year for your ISA. They'll double what you've put in that year, up to a certain amount. The drawback? You have to pay a quarter of all the money on the account if you want to withdraw it before you're 67 years old.
Taffe, FYI man this is a great idea. A delightfully silly show without a care in the world. Meta as hell. But you may need to know some more British TV references first.
Yes!!! Thank you Rob, you did my Mr Soft advert and the he's an asshole car safety ad! 😀💗 and that jump scare was awesome I laughed so loud!!! Noah's reaction, priceless! 😂😂😂😂😂
The guy in the Walker's crisps adverts is Gary Linneker, "the.nicest guy in Britain". The.only footballer to never get a yellow card. The gag is him being mean.
Just make sure that you do your homework on how to eat them properly. I see all these Americans huffing down dry scones with no tea and eating huge gobs of marmite and it drives me nuts!
There was some merch of Looney Tunes Back In Action which also came with a prize back in early 2004, one of the, was a weekend break at Centre Parcs. Used to go there regularly as a kid, but the one next door to Longleat Safari Park. Plus it is a very popular holiday chain in Europe, including Germany and Zhe Netherlands. There is even one in Sherwood Forest, Nottingham.
01:10 I thought your T-Shirt read 'Young Bricks' for a moment. 05:49 Wrong. You're thinking of the Caramel Bunny. Remember? 05:55 Look familiar? This was how I got it. 10:00 "Ring-da-ding-ding-ding-ding. *gunshots* F*** Off!" 11:00 That gag was used in at least two sitcoms. 11:47 That was seriously messed up. 13:40 Oh, that's iconic. 17:51 Abbey's no longer with us; they were amalgamated into Santander. 19:24 No; it's like a coherent female version of Mr Bean. 21:14 Blimey, I haven't heard of them for years. 21:30 I remember it like it was yesterday. 24:15 They don't make 'em like that any more. 26:30 Could've been worse. 27:56 "Albatross! Get your albatross!" 30:52 Ohhhhh, I heard of this. Always thought that song would be for ice cream. 33:33 *Mumble, mumble, mumble*
Fierro Roche (the balls of nuts and chocolate) are really awesome and any American I know who tried them loved them. That ad with 'The Ambassador's Reception' ran a lot but about 20-30 years ago but people still remember/mention it. You can't bring out a pack without someone making a reference to this day!
trust me mate, i just laid an egg too lol . jesus christ ! never seen that add before in the uk everyone else, replay the reaction in slow mo a few times, youll be watching yourself lol
38:30 It was real though likely combined from multiple takes - when I saw this ad on TV I assumed it was CGI or compositing or whatever - saw a making-of later and it turns out they used real balls and had to deal with some damage from them.
The footballers are all famous, and one of them is Ronaldo. But not the Ronaldo you're thinking about, it's this one en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronaldo_(Brazilian_footballer)
That bunny one was brilliant, or was it Taffe's reaction that was brilliant. I laughed for what felt like 5 minutes. And the Schweppes one was soda water and/or indian tonic water.
Holy shit I remember watching that power station advert in year one and yeah they were footballers, members of the Brazil team that won the 1998 World Cup in France. One of them, Ronaldo, is one of the best strikers of all time.
The bouncy ball one was real. They put loads of nets and barries to try and protect the houses but it didnt fully work and alot of cars and houses got damaged
I saw that electricity safety ad at 5.38 on tv during the day time but we also saw it at school but it was a longer PSA film, the kids in the ad were shown a series of PSAs about being safe around electricity but then still went and fucked about with electricity 8:48 - ambassador, you're really spoiling us with this shit chocolate
Howdy amigo, yet another good vid. I see your into WWE if you want to treat yourself you want to look up British wrestling sensation "Big Daddy" btw kudos for knowing Pink Floyd. How do you rate British commercials to American ones?
I think Vodafone is Verizon in the US. At least when they were in Formula 1, their logo was replaced with Verizon's in the US race. 05:19 In the 80s and early 90s, in the UK and Ireland, the Cadbury's Caramel Bunny might have been the most sexualised bunny... Then she turned up. 06:50 I knew this straight away, I was in high school when this first aired in Northern Ireland. As soon as I saw it I said "Hell No! You're gonna hate this!" 09:00 Ferrero Rocher, one of the most parodied ads of all in the UK. Look out for it in an episode of Father Ted if you haven't seen it already, in the episode with the holy stone. They're alright, usually sold in huge amounts at Xmas. 11:21 Hands up who else thought the bunnies were gonna get flattened? 23:26 Shadow of the Tomb Raider saw Lucozade once again displaying Lara Croft on the bottles for the first time in years, looking suitably badass. They read Larazade and as well as the usual flavour, orange and pink lemonade flavour, they now come in - wait for it - Croft Apple flavour. Why did it take until now to come up with that one? Ah, the last 'regular' episode of what brought most of us to you. Specials after this, maybe.
DOE, I had to watch all them commercials where kids die or get hit by cars all the damn time. They always showed them right before the Simpsons started, at least they did here in Northern Ireland. My granny would always have to leave the room or cover her eyes because they're so gruesome lol
Yeah the DOE safety ads where Northern Ireland only, and far more graphic than the mainland UK safety adverts which were made by the COI. However the rest of the UK did get to see a number of the most hard-hitting DOE ads on Tarrant on TV back in the late 1990's & early 2000's.
The Vodafone 60 for 3 plan (it was an addon for a couple of payg plans from what I remember) was possible the best payg offer ever. It was 5p per minute to landlines (still used a lot more than now at the time) or other Vodafone customers, and 15p per minute to other operators. This meant you could talk for an hour for 15p to anyone you knew on the same provider/landline or 45p for any other provider - in the early 00s this was by a long way the best value and still competitive today - beats most payg plans now I think. Sure with the packs you can buy now it is better value, but they are a bit of a scam in my opinion only lasting 30 days and I prefer to buy a phone myself and just use credit that lasts "indefinitely". Currently on 1p mobile (1p per minute for all calls, 1p per text, 1p per megabyte data on the EE network).
If there’s one thing I’ve noticed from these ads, it’s that we here in Britain really love beer and car safety. Somehow both at the same time.
ziex looks like you’ve been listening in your year 9 online English classes
Hey can you react to babestation, it's a long running British show with a huge fan base,
That's just mean.
Ik Ik 😂
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Oh god yes please!
The thing you need to know about the OXO adverts is they ran for decades with the same actors playing the same family.
Didn't they do the same with the BT adverts for a while?
That version of the OXO family ran for about 10 years between the late 1980's to the late 1990's (by which time the marketing agency worked out that the Idea of a large british family all sitting down to dinner at a table at the same time was horrible out of date).

Bouncing balls was real, same campaign as that one you loved with the block of flats being covered by exploding paint.
I miss those car accident adverts.
That jump scare was amazing!
Please tell me I am not the only one who says Nicole every time I hear someone say Papa.
Awww these bring back such nostalgia. Especially the oxo gravy adverts
RIP Lynda Bellingham
the 'catchy as shit' jingle for the Vauxhall car ad was the strings intro to Madonnas 'papa don't preach'.
Using some of the same notes, both are played on a violin, but Madonna's intro is in a different tempo, has more notes and is accompanied at every beat by a contrabass. Vauxhall's jingle also goes up a semioctave at the end to give a resolution to the chord, where Madonna's melody goes down a semioctave for the next bar's reset.
These would be considered different enough to be their own separate works.
Trivia: the crunchie “I’m so excited” ad was animated by Aardman who are most notable for Wallace and gromit among other things

Expecting a train, gets a jump scare.
The Christmas bunnies one was an ad for the same theme park as the one in the Inbetweeners 😂
Rob strikes again lol.😂😂😂 Think you needed a new pair of pants after that jump scare Noah.😂
The one at the end with the rat being pulled out of that guys mouth had me in tears 😂
Ah, I used to love Prunella Scales in the Tesco adverts.
Okay but playing the Drinking and Driving Wrecks Lives ad immediately after three beer commercials? Genuis.
Hearing you sing 'Funky Pigeon dot com!' has made my week and it's only Monday! Thanks, Taffe!
Wow, some of these ads go back to the 1970s, most from the 80's. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

That bunny advert I didn't even react I was just here like "23 bunnies 23" raaawwwhhhhrhrrhrb "well that wasn't a bunny still 23 bunnies"
Love how the Kleenex advert appeared after the Sex line 🤣
These are so old seeing these beings me back to the early 2000s

You should react to Harry Hill's TV Burp!
I loved the one where Harry and a dinner lady sneak into a pie van and eat everything, it’s
So funny!!!!!!!
Taffe, FYI man this is a great idea. A delightfully silly show without a care in the world. Meta as hell. But you may need to know some more British TV references first.
@@Haybalemelonhead Oh my God, yes! I pissed myself laughing at that!
Yes!!! Thank you Rob, you did my Mr Soft advert and the he's an asshole car safety ad! 😀💗 and that jump scare was awesome I laughed so loud!!! Noah's reaction, priceless! 😂😂😂😂😂
Also, count yourself lucky you're only seeing these public safety films in low res. We saw them in full detail when they were first aired!
I was waiting for the jumpscare haha, that was worth it
You say "why would you do this" to the crazy frog advert. I say "why wouldn't we do it?"
The Milk commerical with the spider is cartoons of British boxers Prince Naseem Hamed and Chris Eubank Sr
Vauxhall exists in America, and in most of the world. Except outside of UK, it is called Opel.
The guy in the Walker's crisps adverts is Gary Linneker, "the.nicest guy in Britain". The.only footballer to never get a yellow card. The gag is him being mean.
Did anybody else pick up on this bit 24:04 😉
What was happening from 1:04 to 1:14 lol?
Yep, that was Michael - Dumbledore - Gambon, narrating that advert.
Think Noah just shit his pants. Those bunnies will do that to you😂.
I love your horror at Rob's horrible ads
Love your stuff good chap. Keep em coming.
Hey Taffe, please try British candy/food
This ^^^^
Just make sure that you do your homework on how to eat them properly. I see all these Americans huffing down dry scones with no tea and eating huge gobs of marmite and it drives me nuts!
Lol, the song playing during the Kellogs Corn Pops advert is a Techno track called Popcorn.
Watcher Zero by Hot Butter, turns up in the film The Snowman
@11:40 Thank you Rob, you are an evil genius. lmao
Cup of tea comfortable 2 seater couch in bedroom preparing my self for a propper giggle.
Sony bravia ad , genuine real bouncie balls , one of the best ads ever done.
Back in the days when coasters were made out of AOL CDs
You should change the title to "American reacts to children fucking dying"😂
The Sony add is real, shame you couldn’t fully enjoy the wholesomeness waiting for a jump scare haha!

"Papa"
That's another one that really caught on. I think everyone fancied Nicole.
Massive like for counting the Bunnies haha
How many times have I told you Billy, stop playing with eletric
We've left him with PTSD.
Every ad starts with a feeling of impending doom.....

18:54 and that's Prunella Scales from Fawlty Towers
Said it before, say it again.
Rob is the best unseen character since Maris Crane.
Vauxhall is the name that GM cars Manufactured in the UK are sold under. On main land Europe they sell them under the name Opel.
They used to be sold as Opels there, but now they sell them as Starbursts.
@@benalias5766 Yeah, but that is the American branding... and we are probably confusing Taffe316 if he bothers to read this.
GM has not had anything to do with Vauxhall for nearly 2 years.
@@wyterabitt2149 Sorry, yes that is true, I forgot about the buyout. But it was true when that ad was made.
trust me mate, i just laid an egg too lol . jesus christ ! never seen that add before in the uk
everyone else, replay the reaction in slow mo a few times, youll be watching yourself lol
taffe , what time is it there? im uk and its 22:23 .. i could google it but i wanna see how shit hot you are mate lol :p
I had an orange Club biscuit recently and it's sadly different to and worse than the ones of my childhood - no three chunks, no separate fondant.
Barealy Any chocolate on them now too. The disappointment I had while still remembering the "If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit" jingle
Not had club biscuits in ages
38:30 It was real though likely combined from multiple takes - when I saw this ad on TV I assumed it was CGI or compositing or whatever - saw a making-of later and it turns out they used real balls and had to deal with some damage from them.
Hands up head down after that jumpscare lol
The footballers are all famous, and one of them is Ronaldo. But not the Ronaldo you're thinking about, it's this one en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronaldo_(Brazilian_footballer)
Derpimus Maximus he's known as fat Ronaldo now
I thought he was.
19:35 - tea coasters for all households!
Vauxhall were until very recently the UK arm of General Motors. I believe some Vauxhalls were sold in the US as Saturns and Buicks.
Bunnies on the rail tracks are safe, there was snow, lol.
That was fun. Loved the alcohol ads, leading to the drink drive ad, I was wondering if you were gonna click, very funny,
I wonder how many people got the AL SNOW reference around 20 mins in ha!!
I like these videos and hope this isn't the last one
BTCC in the Nissan Primera advert is the British equivalent of NASCAR
That bunny one was brilliant, or was it Taffe's reaction that was brilliant. I laughed for what felt like 5 minutes.

tomb raider , was made a guy who knew a girl who lived in wimbledon . her name was laura and she lived in croft road wimbledon .
The bouncy ball one was real. They put loads of nets and barries to try and protect the houses but it didnt fully work and alot of cars and houses got damaged
There's a reason road deaths are relatively low in the UK aggressive advertising of actual consequences works
5:40anyone remember watching this at the fire station in year 4 😂
I want commercials 13!!! These are amazing
The DID NOT just use the beginning of 'Papa don't preach' in that Vauxhall Zafira ad XD
The coloured balls advert was real, they actually dropped them down that hill.
Has the advert with the child and the flame-throwing tank been reviewed yet? I think it was shown in the late 80s.
That Primera was always my favourite car on TOCA2

Those car safety adverts do have a strong impact tbf. Will make you think twice.

Yeah the DOE safety ads where Northern Ireland only, and far more graphic than the mainland UK safety adverts which were made by the COI. However the rest of the UK did get to see a number of the most hard-hitting DOE ads on Tarrant on TV back in the late 1990's & early 2000's.

The Vodafone 60 for 3 plan (it was an addon for a couple of payg plans from what I remember) was possible the best payg offer ever.
It was 5p per minute to landlines (still used a lot more than now at the time) or other Vodafone customers, and 15p per minute to other operators. This meant you could talk for an hour for 15p to anyone you knew on the same provider/landline or 45p for any other provider - in the early 00s this was by a long way the best value and still competitive today - beats most payg plans now I think.
Sure with the packs you can buy now it is better value, but they are a bit of a scam in my opinion only lasting 30 days and I prefer to buy a phone myself and just use credit that lasts "indefinitely". Currently on 1p mobile (1p per minute for all calls, 1p per text, 1p per megabyte data on the EE network).
