Love how you said you'd probably get hate for saying dogs are better than cats, then two minutes later you call Blur a boyband and say you've never heard of them... You're really asking for it today! đ
Great to see Robert Morley doing an advert. I used to love it when he did Heinz ads. He was a real darling.
The lady sat in the chair is called Cilla Black. She died a few years ago. She was a British T.V. entertainer and a singer.
Blur, the music at the end were more of an actual band than a boy band. They were part of the Brit Pop era along with bands like Oasis and Pulp. Some of their music was and still is great, Song 2 is a favourite of mine and the music video to Coffee and TV is top notch too.
Wish the ad with different people wearing aftershave in the lift and Blur Song 2 playing, had come up...
Also lead singer Damon Albarn would go on to create the cartoon band known as Gorillaz
A real blast from the past!
One thing I did notice apart from the outdated technology was just now many of the Brands are no longer around. Even Argos (which is nowhere near as cheap in relation to other stores as it used to be) has been taken over by Sainsbury's with many of the smaller locations being closed and relegated to an area within a larger supermarket rather than a separate store.
On line shopping, delivery to your door, you don't need to stir from your armchair!
I notice that all the electrical outlets were advertising hairdryers with volumisers to give you that big hair look. A few years later it was straighteners to give you precisely the opposite effect!
It was lovely to see those old adverts. You are a lovely young man and would fit in well in the UK. Best wishes from London .
I now feel old as I remember most of them lol
It's ok, you're not the only one! Lol
I remember ads from the 60's, so count your blessings. :-)
@@kayb9979 They don't make them like they used to do they!
Me too my kids were all little in the 90's
Harveyâs Bristol Cream is Sherry, I drank it when I was younger. Sainsburyâs is a supermarket who in 2014 released an advert on the Christmas Truce of 1914. Comet closed a number of years ago.
Yes I recognise a lot of these adverts. Looks like we really tried to push the Sega Megadrive (Genesis) back then.
Also Blur aren't a 'Boy Band'. They're a very successful indie rock band. The lead singer went on to create Gorillaz.
Harvey's Bristol Cream is a cream sherry and sherry is essentially an oxidized, fortified wine.
HMV means His Masters Voice. They are still going, but closed a lot of their bigger stores down. They sell cd's, dvds, blue-ray discs, electrical entertainment systems, consoles, posters and all that kind of stuff.
I'm Norwegian and I always make sure to stop by HMV when I'm in the UK, love that store chain. I bought a bunch of CD Maxi singles and album compilations there in the 90's (man, I miss those days!) and in more recent years I've bought DVD's and BluRay's from there too. I've never actually thought about what HMV stands for but it makes for a great store chain name! :)
I think you should check out Father Christmas or The Snowman/The Snowman & his Dog for a nostalgic animated British Christmas
I have so enjoyed our British Christmas adverts over the years ( sadly this year they are awful ) as many have been quite beautifully produced with heart warming messages. But, the 2014 Sainsbury's WW1 reenactment of the Christmas truce still holds the top spot for best advert EVER.
You're so right, dogs are a heck of a lot better than cats! Sainsbury's is a supermarket btw and thank you - I'm not the only person who likes advertisements! A lot of them are actually better than the program being broadcast! Lol!!!
I was just thinking that as soon as Christmas was over, we used to get bombarded with loads of holiday adverts, Then the Lunn Polly advert came up with the 2 snowmen. "By the mid-1990s it was the largest travel agency in the UK".
The Argos Catelogue is a british instituion. My Brhter used to sling me a copy every year and tell me to pick what I wanted. he liked to go to the shops, order on the slip of paper and was in and out in half and hour, all his purchses made in one place. lol.
i remember the Lunn polly adverts... making me feel very old... :'( 36 haha
To answer the question on sainsburys is one of our big supermarket stores in the UK
Satsuma's are very popular because they are very easy to peel, tiny oranges. All I can get is tangerines or clementines. Satsumas don't have pips.
thanks for the video JP .... Sainsburys is one of our major supermarkets, and yes, it does offer many "own brand" goods - and wow weren't they dated.
Imagine getting a wallpaper stripper, or cordless 'dust-buster' as a Xmas present from your other half, lol. This is the 90s equivalent of 'buy an iron for your wife! She'll love and appreciate it!'. :)
You will regret calling Blur âsome 90s boy bandâ; hopefully you will be under the true fansâ radar. They were/are a rock band, who were massive throughout the World, except the USA, although even over there Song 2 is in so many soundtracks. Front runner Damon Albarn had more success over the pond with his project Gorillaz. Harveyâs Bristol Cream is a very sweet version of Sherry - much out of fashion now.
Yep that's more controversial than preferring dogs to cats!
Indie pop band, not really rock band to be fair but theyâre certainly nearer a rock than a Boyband đŹ
And here we have the ultimate gatekeeper... he encompasses both Brit pop and sherry...
I loved backstreet boys and blur
They was shite Keith. Only joking lol. X
I remember the Oi, Scream for Cream advert from the 80's. Nice to see that some Christmas ad gets reused for a decade.
Lovely to look back at some of the old adverts, very nostalgic.
Oh jesus... When you called Blur 'Some kinda 90s boy band' đđđđ
Sainsbury's is a supermarket chain and they have their own line of products, so also a brand đ
The advert for the mincemeat parcels, God I remember that so well. It was Sainsburyâs giving a little nod to the M&S adverts.
Sainsbury' and Tesco's are the two biggest supermarket grocery chains in the UK. Morrison's is a smaller chain of the same kind.
Budget chains are Aldi, Lidl, Finefare, Spar.
Posher chains are Waitrose, Marks & Spencer. Posher still are Harrod's and Fortnum & Mason. Those are not so much Posh as PÎché.
The boots store has been established for over 120 years Joel, it was named after the owner who set up the store from the start, his name was John Boot. đ I remember all of them lol, I'm that old, I was born in the late 70's.đ Sainsbury's is a large supermarket. Asda is also a supermarket, who btw is owned by Walmart. HMV is our well known music store, the HMV stands for His masters Voice, hense the HMV, cd's are still sold.
I think of anything Argos is probably the thing people remember most in terms of stores if you grew up in the 80's and 90's mainly due to the "book of dreams" - i.e. the catalog :) Argos is now owned by Sainsburys and I'm not sure if there's anything widespread in the US like it. They have a reasonably large online footprint and physical stores but the stores are basically warehouses with catalogs at the front that you pick what you want and once you've paid someone goes and fetches your stuff from the warehouse. Kind of like Amazon on a smaller scale, but with stores.
Sainsbury's is a store, but they do their own products too. A lot of our stores do their own brand stuff, its basically the same with a different label...on most things. Some things you just can't duplicate! Love these adverts, took me on a trip down memory lane!! Thank you and Merry Christmas đđ đ€¶âđđ
Sainsburys is one of the larger British supermarkets. they do have their own brand goods s well.
Ngl I have a playlist of these that I watch when I'm a bit down. I guess it's weird but ah well. đ
Harveyâs is Sherry, ASDA is now owned by Wal-Mart, Iâve not seen Labbatts beer here for a long time! And dogs are way better than cats!
In 2020 2 UK billionaire brothers, Issa Brothers succeeded in buying Asda supermarket from US owners Walmart.
Halfords is also still here.
Brings back all the great memories of Christmas years ago. I think some of these was from the late 80s to early 90s fantastic seeing them again
Argos has stores all over the country ..... you order what you want online (I think they've done away with the printed catalogue now) . Then they e-mail you with a collection code when it's ready and you go and collect it. It's great ....... you don't have to talk to any store staff !
And not a mention of a website in sight, happy times
Sainsburys is a supermarket in the Uk.
I am loving these UK reaction Christmas adverts at the moment Joel it brings back childhood memories from the 90âs when I was a kid & I love the way you present these videos with a warm welcome. When I was a kid back in the 90âs my first console was Sega which is shown in one of the videos. React to some Christmas British comedy & adverts as well. Sending love from Somerset, England, UK đŹđ§.
06:17 Oh, I definitely remember the Lunn Poly ads.
Have you never watched any of these 3 animated children's classics? Father Christmas, The Snowman or The Snowman & The Snowdog? (The 3rd one is a spin off from the 2nd and was only released a few years ago, but is still good to watch.) The Snowman was released in 1982.
The Snowman would be the best to react to, Joel, and would be very worthwhile - - it's iconic
Stephen Williams Did you know Aled Jones never even sang on that film? It was a lad called Peter Auty. I watched all 3 cartoons recently & neither Aled nor Peterâs names were mentioned. This was on Channel 4. Apparently Aled sang the song on tv after the cartoon was released & people thought he was the singer. I just looked up Peterâs name & he was the singer. Aled is taking credit where none is due.
Sainsbury's is a supermarket.
Boots is a chemists that sells other things too.
There is one great British Christmas tradition that has been SO overlooked on the CZcams reactor circuit - the animated film 'The Snowman'. This is a staple of every British family to watch on TV year after year - a pencil drawn, no dialogue animated film telling the story of a snowman who comes to life. It is incredibly moving, Since 1982 it is just part of the British Christmas experience - I think there has only ever been one American reaction to this on CZcams before but I suspect you will do this greater justice in terms of reacting - czcams.com/video/5A3THighARU/video.html
Thanks for making me feel old. I remember most of these products/ads.
Blur - "That was some 90s boy band!" Lol xxx
I'm a Brit born and bred, BUT I've never seen any of these 90's Christmas adverts. During the 90s, I was watching TV via BFBS (British Forces Broadcasting Service) We were watching TV in Germany during the 90's. Oddly, at the time the only Ads we saw on BFBS were for products totally out of our reach - I can remember watching a KFC ad and my mouth watering - the nearest KFC to us back in those days was in the UK.
All our supermarkets have their own brands. Many shop brands carry the same sway as their "branded" alternatives.
Often even a scale, a shiny expansive one, a mid range one and a value version. Dark labels being more expensive and plain ones cheaper. A white can of beans is more tomato sauce than beans. Black label, cursive font however will have extra ingredients to make it proper swanky.
If I saw premium label beans in Sainsbury's it wouldn't surprise me if they put goose fat, chia seeds and lemon grass in there.
These 3 economy food stores: Aldi, Lidl and Iceland were not around or weren't as popular as they are today. These 3 stores: Kwik Save, Grandways & Jack Fultons were the economy food stores in the 80's & 90's. Only Jack Fultons exists out of those 3, but they are now called Fultons or Fultons Foods.
Iceland were around from 1970 but had only a few stores, they really started to expand in the mid 1980s when they went public and used the cash to take over other chains like Bejam.
Iâm a Brit and grew up in the 90s
Boots is a drug store/toiletry store
Argos is a catalogue department store
Curryâs is a electronics and white goods department store
Sainsburyâs is a supermarket JP đ
LOL - Along with East 17 and Oasis, Blur were the biggest UK boyband!
The only 2 stores I didn't see advertised. were Marks & Spencer's (aka M&S) and Morrison's. M&S does have a food section, but they are more known for their clothes and household things. Morriosn's is like Tesco, Sainsbury's & Asda. They all do electrical's and clothes, but are mainly classed as food supermarkets. M&S is an upper class store and supermarket. I can probably afford their sugar and milk and that's about it.
Wow.U making me a feel old. I was in my mid to late teens,back when most of these ads were out,and especially during Blurs heyday.
Argos is a store where you go in and look in their catalogue, or on their system for what you want. Once you have decided, you would write your order number/numbers down and take the paper slip to the cashier to pay for. They would give you a receipt with an order number on it. You sit down and wait for the number/numbers to be called. Now we have the internet, there are a whole load of ways you can order & pay. Basically Argos isn't a store where you can go in, pick what you want off the shelf and pay in the usual way. Also it's not a grocery store. They do sell some food items, but they are gifts like chocolate or booze.
And as they are owned by Sainsburys now, many of their outlets are now inside the Sainsburys supermarkets
Sainsburyâs is a supermarket chain. Like all the others, it has âown brandâ products.
100% on the dogs better than cats. And come on dude, Blur is epic :)
Wow that was a trip down Memory Lane for some of us! đ
Argos is smaller version on Amazon, where you can go in-store or online and order click and collect.
Sainsburys is a major supermarket.
One thing that did take me back was the Rumbelows ad. It was an electrical store sadly No longer just like Comet.
Sainsbury's is a Supermarket chain
I feel like I was slapped in the face by an obscure memory, I had that weird Boots Hippo teddy as a toddler, wow. Also Mega Drive, the love of my life hehe
I loved the Cinzano ads with Joan Collins and Leonard Rossiter - think they were late 80's
Loving the Christmas adverts. Check out this yearâs Aldi advert. Smashes it out the park !! Ebanana Scrooge!
Comet no longer trades and Sainsburyâs is a supermarket chain
Sainsbury's is a supermarket chain
I have a box of mince pies in my Christmas food stash. LOL
Curry's teamed up with PC World a few years ago, so are now named Currys PC World. Who on here remembers Rumbelows? We used to get our tv's from them that were operated by a coin slot machine. We would have to put 50p pieces in a machine attached to the tv to make it work. Those coins paid to rent the tv. We got a washer a few years later and paid for that through the tv. The washer didn't need a coin machine to operate it, we just had to put extra in the tv. How that worked financially for the company I don't know, because it basically meant we got more watching hours on the tv, but the extra money was used to pay for the washer. LOL.
Amazing how many of those places don't exist any more, or are very different now.
Do you have Argos or anything like it in the US? The concept is basically, smallish, no frills shop front, attached to a huge warehouse. The catalogues of goods are on tables in the shop front. You order via the counter, they go back into the warehouse and get it. You can inspect before you buy and they have a two week, no questions asked returns policy. If there's a big item in the catalogue they don't have, it takes them about 2/3 days to get it from another (maybe bigger) branch. They do everything!!! Brand names and at (because they don't have such overheads, staff, premises, etc. they're really competitive prices. BTW, Sainsbury's is a supermarket chain, but has it's own branded products. They do a cheap and a posh Sainsbury's option of just about everything.
sainsburys is a supermarket that also has its own brands
I'd class a boyband as a group who sing and dance. Blur actually were a band who played instruments. There's a difference.
Thanks for the trip down recent memory lane! Interesting to hear that the use of 'standard received' (posh) accents were still a thing then as well as sherry. Sherry is a fortified wine from Jerez in Spain and in those days one proved one's sophistication by drinking the 'dry' version. Not surprised the Blur comment has not gone unchallenged here; they had moments of brilliance.
sainsbury's is a supermarket or grocery store.
The design is different but Carlberg Lager is still going.
'' Some 90's boy band'' Ha ha!
Sainsburys is one of the top 4 British supermarkets
Boy, I feel old lol I left high school in the mid 80s, this really took me back đ
In December 1992 when the Boots ad was on (after Tesco), my son would have been 7 months old. He is now 29.
The Boots commercial @10 mins. That's Louise English. Former Benny Hill dancer (Hills Angels) she was the hottest thing you've ever seen back in the 70's, early 80's.
It reminds me of my childhood so much đ
Definitely getting into the spirit, Jps! đđ
May I suggest this year's UK prime video Christmas advert. It has a man who takes home a laughing hyhena it's funny as well as it cute
The 'annoying' advert was presented by a popular 90s comedian. Sainbury's is a popular supermarket.
Sainsbury's is a massive company & is still going strong. In fact they have bought out Argos, which were showing ads too.
Some 90's boy band, hmmm. I think maybe you should look into what Brit pop was all about. It's a key cultural moment from the 90's in the UK And there was you thinking your comment about dogs over cats would be the controversial thing!
Oh and Sainsbury's is a supermarket by like all supermarkets, do their own branded foods too.
Maybe you want to look at vintage UK Christmas adverts EPIC Compilation
90s boy band!! đ€Łđ€Ł
Classic band, classic album.
Wow, averts were shocking back in the day đ€Ł
Sainsburys - grocery store, own brand and major brands.
Boots - drug store, one in every town.
Frank Carson was the annoying 'it's a cracker', that was his catchphrase.
Funny to see how times have changed!!
Sainsbury's is a supermarket
Harvey's is a Sherry. Great in trifles mmmmm
There was an old joke doing the rounds in the 90s. âHow did Jesus feed the 5,000? Asda price!â
On your computer screen it says 1990's, but at the top of our screen it says 1980's. So I am guessing you did a typo when giving it a title.
Christ, Lunn Poly! When did I get so freaking old?
Sainsbury is a supermarket and Booths is a drugstore like CVS I agree about the đ
Cant believe you referred to Blur as a boyband đźđźđ
Wow that takes me back!! Miss the old days!!
Dogs ARE better than cats - also, 1992 the year everybody got a SEGA Mega Drive
It just shows how Commercialised Christmas is đ€Ł
My mum still has that musical jewellery box!
