Blackcurrant Tango Commercial

[@eamonnca1]

You know what I always liked? How the Harriers only appeared for about a second! Probably the most spectacular part of any ad and they just tossed it in at the end in a “by the way” kind of fashion. Brilliant!

[@NickyNustar]

That's precisely what makes it three times as epic as the twice epic moments in an adverts worth of data.

[@AcornElectron]

Yeah, btw, I have some Jump Jets so don’t mess Sebastian.

[@mikeycraig8970]

There's only one Harrier there, the other two are early CGI of the one.

[@jasonclayton9221]

Yep we’re British don’t mess with us lol

[@XXSkunkWorksXX]

THE Greatest commercial ever filmed. End of discussion.

Ray Gardner should be appointed Britain's head negotiator when we renegotiate our terms with EU.

[@LegalizeTheNuclearBomb]

I'LL TAKE YOU ALL ON

[@tomrogers4515]

+ CraftyMagpie88
I second that. In fact, it's the best idea I've heard regarding the EU in nearly two years. Where is Ray Gardner now? We need him.

Can't be any worse than the clowns negotiating it now

[@ANobodyatall]

[@m3th33]

I think we should still bring him in, two weeks until fight night

[@TomRogersOnline]

This is the greatest advert ever broadcast on British television, no question. A classic. Makes me want to go out in the streets hunting for French exchange students, just to rub it in that we voted for Brexit. Have you got that, Sebastian?

[@beejaybeejaybeejay]

I think the exchange students would be as uninterested in Brexit as they would have been in this advert

[@kenjiwa5895]

Non.

[@TomRogersOnline]

@@beejaybeejaybeejay Get lost, Sebastian.

[@greyarea6688]

I still have not figured out how or where the transition at 0:50 takes place, but there is a transition between locations and thus filming and it's fucking seamless.
It might be viewed as over-the-top nationalist pomp these days but years later this advert is still fucking incredible and gets me pumped to see Ray batter Sebastian.
The Harriers at the end are epic too lol

[@ph1lmaker]

It's at 0:54, when he raises his arm and says "that"
source: just watched the bts and there's a rought cut at the end where you can easily spot the transitions. I could haver never got that one by just watching the video, not even slowed down.

Greatest advert ever. Predicts Brexit by decades. Astonishing.

[@beejaybeejaybeejay]

Ah yeah, Brexit... where the UK voted to fight a french man over a blackcurrant soft drink

[@dilksjoel]

Brexit was the plan all along

[@Dead-Ball-Situation]

It's when you see an ad like this and then think about the current times that it makes you realise how free we used to be. The ad is a real sign of the times, where you could express yourself freely and not feel that everything has to have a box ticked.

[@donragnar8430]

[@MatthewCharmanadventures]

Such a funny advert. Man, I miss the days when characters like this were satire!

[@0utLander]

Best advert ever and the only advert that ever stuck for me. Shame you'd never see something like it these days.

[@RoadHogGB]

You'd not be allowed to, it is far too British and not multiculti, sexually inclusive and is xenophobic. We flogged off the Harriers cheap to the Yanks and now we have aircraft carriers with no aircraft that we're meant to be sharing with French. I'll never forget the advert, best ever and I'm lucky to have been around when we could still do that sort of thing.

[@kingeddiam2543]

Too expensive for TV, there's not enough money in it anymore to justify this sorta stuff

[@Vic_the_owl92]

I saw that in a reaction video and one of the three dudes laughed at the end because the jets are too much. The other ones talked about how amazing this video is. All of them agreed: Best commercial ever

[@thefacer3279]

flipfloid?

[@johnckinect]

It starts of in a tall office block, then it's on the ground floor of an industrial estate, then it's being shot on the white cliffs of Dover. All in one take. Incredible.

Russell Howcroft spoke of this advertisement as being his favourite all-time advertisement on Gruen, (Australian ABC National TV, - November 2021) it certainly is pretty special........... thank you for posting.......... :)

[@mikeycraig8970]

Ray Gardner, I wholeheartedly apologise for coming up to you in Safeways in Walton On Thames in about 97 and saying 'I'll take you on'. Your expression told me it probably wasnt the first time you heard it that day.
I was 19 then, shit, time flies.

[@rebellion2054]

Don't live with this as a regret. Ray would have understood. What you did was completely natural. Ray knows but as an Englishman, couldn't express this without invading another country.

Not really. They do make me laugh because they're hovering above a fat bloke with moobs in a boxing ring giving the large to a kid because the kid doesn't like a new flavour of soft drink.

[@obelines]

Black current Tango holds a particular memory for me, I was a teenager and a friend introduced me to a certain illicit substance in a park in Bath (Alexandra Park, just off Bear Flat) we did it in a bottle with a plastic bag attached… anyway, I was wasted, to the point I was afraid to cross the busy road on the Bear Flat, I finally made it across and into the JCR shop and brought a can of Black Current Tango, as my mouth was seriously dry, and swigging that can was instant relief, it was sooo nice, and the sugars gave me a much needed boost. Can’t remember much else about that night, but any time I see or hear of BC Tango, I get reminded of it…. FYI, I do not condone the use of any illicit substances, but at that age I didn’t know any better.

[@drahcirnevarc9152]

I live in Bristol, and played cricket against Bear Flat three or four times.

[@obelines]

@@drahcirnevarc9152 well the shop, a JCR, where I brought the can of tango has now been turned into either an estate agents or hairdresser, it used to be right next door to the Bear Pub, which is still going, and has a model large white bear above the door.
