You're more relatable than any of these new ads. Taking the piss out of things is the British way. Made me laugh multiple times. Keep it up mate
Cheers mate, really glad to provide some levity in the situation!
@@SomeBoiOnline bizarre question but are you somewhere in Teesside?, I live near Middlesbrough and you sound very similar
Roundabouts yes!
Wouldn’t it be funny if Monkey and Al started being the face Typhoo or something 😂
@@cardwitch91 that is a genius idea, and have an Ashley Walters look alike they get rid of at the casting! 😂
Can they NOT accept that Monkey is the superior mascot? FFS, they should listen to the fans for once
They feel threatened by a cloth Monkey to the extent of deleting any posts mentioning him. So apparently, they can't accept it.
This is the problem, why are there "fans" of an alright brand of Teabags in the first place? Or fans of the marketing used to try and part you from some money, you don't see Chickens wearing KFC merch, these companies think of you as some data points representing the wallet on legs they care about.
There may have been some authentic British companies like PG tips once, maybe some authentic smaller ones around still but for the most part they are gone.
Monkey certainly garnered "fans" (see the Comic Relief sketch "Monkey's Monumental Mission") as he was simply a character that people enjoyed watching on television.
The ads were like short sitcom episodes, so like any good comedy, I suppose people wanted merchandise to express their enjoyment of the character. You're right though, that brand authenticity just isn't there anymore and that's what I wanted to highlight.
I feel like if they keep doing this, they may get people who stop buying their tea. The monkey got me interested in buying that tea more than the woman talking about her podcast.
I think it's a new coke situation they change it and then bring back the original
I suffer from quite severe mental health problems.
Do you want to know what I hate the most? Patronising fucking adverts by million pound companies pretending they care.
I can't stand it. This constant patting us on the head. It's so patronizing. Not to mention cynical as we all know they don't give a damn and it's just used as a marketing gimmick.
They massively oversimplify discussions about mental health in a way that isn’t particularly helpful too imo. Unfortunately if you spend any time around ad companies now you quickly learn the marketing has little to do with the product & the focus is around what they can tap into about the stereotypical target audience instead.
Been on phone to crisis team waiting now since feb to be diagnosed. They don’t care at all especially if you actually do say you’ve got issues. Adverts like this trivialises actually mental health issues. They think they’re helping but it’s just hot air
Are they for real? There is no mental health support in this country. I find it beyond insulting of them to imply that there is.
Same here, I've had to deal with autism and depression and I find that this crap doesn't help at all. It's just patronising. PG tips is great and relaxing but it'd ironically help more if they'd just kept things how they were (I'm not bothered about the teabag shape though).
CEO: How is this going to help us sell more tea?
Advertising team: Tea?
Advertising team: we’ve been selling mugs, that’s tea related right?
Man, the fact that pg tips has turned from this cozy, funny and british ads to this corporate,unfunny and non-loveable company and tried to remove there "Monkeh!" Ad campain from history hurts me, i always loved those ads. Kinda worrying how a company can take a complete change overnight.
You've summed it up perfectly, worrying indeed!
I think it reflects the bland societal environment of places like London where there’s ceased to be much that’s authentically British because it’s an identity-less global mishmash now. And since that’s the place the people making the ads & running the company probably live, it’s what they think will resonate with the public. Reality is most people don’t think about the societal thoughts of tea manufacturers, we just want to know if it tastes good!
The old ads felt so cozy, nostalgic, and wholesome. And now it’s just “HeRe’S mY pOdCaSt MiCrOpHoNe” and holding the microphone in a way which no sane person would.
This is absolutely terrible how can a company be so brain dead. The olny thing this is going to do is ruin the company's image.
It already has but that hasn't stopped them, it's crazy.
its called diversity hires.
@@animeswitchreal
@@animeswitch stop being rcist
@@SkylarThompson-mu1qs Stop being blind.
This new ad feels weirdly like those vape ads trying to attract a young audience because they know they're losing the health-conscious oldies. They're trying to get the youths hooked on tea 😂
Exactly, they're desperate to attract a new audience that couldn't care less, as opposed to catering to their current customers.
@@SomeBoiOnlineBut tea is good, I don't get why you need to rebrand and package something as basic as tea.
Oh no sales might be down but your essentially in the business of Oranges.
It might lose some market value but one bad word about coffee and it'll climb over it and vica versa.
But with this brain dead scene PG won't be there to bank on that success
Do they not know that the youths love monke?!
"How will we appeal to the kids? I know, we'll get a middle aged man with a long history of violence and weapon crimes"
A bit like bud light when they tried to alienate the existing demographic calling them stupid frat boys and trying to attract a new crowd by getting Dylan Mulvaney to advertise it
I hate modern companies so much.
They try and get an influencer to appear all humble and nice, but it backfires. I found her very arrogant ngl. So out of touch with the world as always. Do they think tea drinkers actually look up to and want to be like these people? Once again trying to impose an artificial narrative onto people that nobody asked for.
A corporation trying to be woke i’m afraid
That was such an uncomfortable video to watch, largely due to the toxic self-obsessed attitude that they're trying to promote as positive.
@@SomeBoiOnline Completely agree. I would argue that’s one of the things wrong with most adverts media these days. There seems to be more focus on the person that the product! In the ad with Ashley Walters, they don’t even discuss the flavour of the tea or how nice it is! Just his problems and mental health.
Think back to the days of Monkey and Al. They weren’t actually talking about themselves, the focus was on them trying out the tea and ending up on an adventure. I always love the advent of them coming in from the rain, putting their feet up, and having a cup of tea. I think it is something we could all relate to at some point, and that cozy image sticks in my mind. It told a wholesome little story.
Then we have influencers who only talk about themselves and have an unmistakable fakeness that was never present in the Al and Monkey ads. (Despite Monkey being a puppet, he is far more real than these people). She takes a quick swig of the tea and that’s it. The self-obsessed narrative leaves little room for the actual thing they are supposedly trying to sell.
Like someone said about Soviet propaganda. It's not there to enthuse or sell anything.
It's there to humiliate and demoralize.
That was her trying to appear humble and nice? Good one!
exactly what gen z needs is a 30 year old peaking on a mic talking about her podcast while loudly slurping tea
It's not just tea. It's diversiTEA.
Good god please dont give them ideas
quick copyright it
We're all part of a socieTEA.
@@thegoldenvolt926 Slap a trade mark on it!
Throw in some EquiTEA and "Infusion" and you've hit the nail on the head.
They don't want to sell tea... they're selling "the message" now.
It's in everything before even a single word is said.
The problem with the classic adverts is that they're quintessentially British, so that has to go of course.
PG Tips is definitely going to be irrelevant. PG Monkey is what make them special but seeing them erasing the Monkey is like see Mattel striping Thomas the Tank Engine’s identity
The new pg tips is bad
And honestly the state of thomas is horrendous these days so imagine what happens to the PG tips brand.
They already changed the name of the Fat Controller
You can blame woke culture and corporate greed for this
Mattel owns Thomas? I only know them as a doll company (monster high/barbie). Also I'm pretty sure the whole thing about changing the fat controller's name was a misunderstanding.
I just couldn't believe that they literaly replaced a funny handpuppet monkey for an AI generated ad. I have no words for this
The fact that they're deleting comments alone is a major red flag. When you focus more on hiding the backlash, than on focusing on the quality of the product itself, you know something is wrong.
I’ve never even been to the UK or even Europe but even I recognized that monkey
That's a sign of advertising done right!
It's Monkeh
Everyone and their gran knows our boy!
Represent, get a shirt with him on it
Monkey and Al need to make a return! None of this corporate slop!
Well, the only hope is if Comic Relief decide to resurrect them!

I would love, knowing that the characters are owned by Comic Relief, than for Red Nose Day next year they do a parody of the new ads.
That would be the ultimate comeback 😂
Yes 😂.
Monkey was the only good part of PG Tips. The company will definitely go under.
They deserve to. The new ads are awful
I doubt it. Look at "Ben's Original".
It won't go under but it likely will no longer have the same reach as it use too, it's teabags have also gone down in quality in my opinion.
when the ROCK SOLID campaign isn't that SOLID of a campaign.
More like a Rock Slide.
sounds like ''rock solid'' constipation 🤣💩
It really shows how successful your new ad campaign is when you have to erase any mention of your previous one being better.
Yep, it's like they actually fear Monkey at this point.
I used to buy PG tips and ship it to me in Germany. German tea is very good, but its not strong British tea which is THE BIGGEST thing i miss from my native Britain.
Well...im moving over to Yorkshire tea.
I found exactly the same with Polish teabags. Their supposedly "English breakfast tea" is like old dishwater. Any self respecting British builder would take one sip and fling the rest in the cement mixer!!
Too bloody right, Yorkshire is the best if you want an authentic British brew!
Thank you very much for bringing more attention to this topic. Very sad to see that the people over at the company do not care about all the criticism they've been getting. I had no idea that the product itself was also falling apart. (No pun intended). I'll have a go at emailing Comic Relief about the characters to perhaps spread awareness within the company, but for now, Munkeh and Al's chapter has come to a close.
Thanks again for letting me know in the first place, and best of luck contacting Comic Relief!
PG Tips - Erasing an older ad-campaign which made people smile with a depressing one that discusses mental health in a very boring manner.
PG Tips got rid of pyramid tea bags!? nah thats it, IM BACK TO TETELYS!
Wouldn't it just be perfect if Monkeh and Al moved to Yorkshire. They could even do a crossover with Wallace and Grommit.
This would be a dream come true!!
Monkey Doesn't Deserve To Get Wiped From Existance.
Tell me about it!
Monkey will be fine. PG Tips will be on the rubbish heap of history.
Time to change to Yorkshire tea then, because PG Tips have gone full corporate bullshit.
Problem is, I fear all the other companies will copy PG Tips. Companies seem to love goose-stepping along with each other, over anything else.
Yorkshire Tea is woke. No thanks.
Yorkshire tea is the same. They made some anti British statement a few years ago and are probably worse now than ever
Ashley is such an odd choice, why hire an actor only known for gritty and violent roles??
Wouldn’t you want someone more likeable in the public perception?
I know right? It's the literal opposite of a bubbly and eccentric comedian like Johnny Vegas 😂
Even Noel Clarke would've been preferable. (Mickey from the Rose era) and we all know what a shit he is.
It's all decided by a chart and market research.
Data shows actor "X" is popular, stick them in an ad?
What for? Don't know, don't care, next marketing session is starting now.
Reflects Britain's new violent culture of street crime. One of my neighbours got stabbed by one of "them" right outside my door a couple of weeks ago
He's black
That is all they needed
Monkey is a hero. We shall never forget him!
Monkey and Churchill Dog will NOT be forgotten in my eyes.
And the Robertson's g olly
I'm 22, so Gen Z, and my peers and parents all associated Monkey with PG Tips. This is trash.
Mate! after your video last week it made me realise "wow, it isn't just my taste changing, pg really has changed the recipe and tastes awful now", i went on ebay and spent 20 quid on 1000 bags of the old recipe. The fact that this brand has weakened it's product and insulted it's long time customers is mind blowing. Twinnings, I'm coming home!
Wow! Love to hear it, but a shame that supplies of the original blend will run out eventually. I'm hearing lots of people doing this, which should be a red flag for PG!
@@SomeBoiOnlinethese ones expire in january but should be good for 2-3 months after that. Got just under a year of the good stuff. Low sales of the new rubbish & outrage online should be enough, but then again, look at disney, xbox, and blizzard
same with dairy milk. after the american company bought it the chocolate tasted weird
Twinnings is just better. None of this corporate schlock, just good quality tea.
Why? They're all doing it. Once you control the market, you just make the product worse because alternatives aren't conveniant
Its all well and good for the company to say "oh we wanna appeal to gen z" but as far as i'm aware literally no one who has seen the new advert, prefers it over monkey and al. I am a gen z person myself and being brought up in the early 2000's with older tv shows like only fools and horses and the flumps, I always have, and always will prefer the charm and style of this kind of content than the bland, unimaginative, corporate style of advertising. If all advertisements adopted the approach that the original pg adverts did, there would be no need for a skip button to be present on youtube.
As far as i'm concerned the monkey and al may be gone from the adverts but their memory lives on, in the form of the monkey plush ive had since i was 6 years old.
12:58 ERF is a British truck manufacturer that was bought out and discontinued in 2007. That ad gave us one hell of a foreshadowing.
Never noticed that before! 💀
"It's an Eeerrf" - Richard Hamster Hammond 😂
ERF = Ernest Robert Foden I believe.
@@neilfoster814I noticed in an ad for a local music festival that the Foden Band was playing. I think they used to be the Foden Motorworks Band.
As a legitimate firearms company it is inappropriate for us to be associated with any product endorsed by somebody with a criminal conviction for firearms offences, even some no-mark "personality" like this character. (whoever he is or was) We shall start purchasing a different brand of tea. Thanks for bringing this to everybody's attention.
Considering they've even got rid of pyramid bags too, I feel like PG Tips seem to want to self destruct.
That might be the idea. You know what corporations are like. They're always rebranding and killing off popular products. Maybe they're not interested in making tea, just selling off the company in a fire sale.
I wonder where the money is, in that? But then, I'm not a disaster capitalist like the current Tory government are.
It's pretty awful when we remove what is a generation of unique British quirks, to be replaced by PR company detachment. But nothing quite like associating tea drinking with characters of anti-social behaviour and criminality. May as well go full pelt and have the Kray Twins as the face of Twix.
A whole podcast and behind the scenes film for this slop about some nobody (who turns out to be a violent criminal) sitting in a kitchen for twenty seconds... absolutely blows my mind.
the new ad doesnt even show the bloody tea..
Alan Sugar would be having a go at them for that :P
advertising 101 - show the bloody product!
You know you've goofed when your own previous marketing campaign is being campaigned against you by your audience
Nooooo, this dude was my childhood, I had all the toys and now he’s retiring, thanks for everything monkey and especially Johnny Vegas as well
If Comic Relief allowed Monkey to advertise Tetley or Yorkshire tea now, it would be the funniest comeback of all time and the tea company that gets him would have a massive sales increase.
Your wtf moments during that ad with the female celeb (I have no idea who she is) was amazing 😂
I'm not from the UK nor am I a tea guy, but seeing what PG Tips has done to themselves is beyond depressing. It'd be one thing if it was just a bad rebrand, but to act like the monkey never existed by deleting comments, replace him with a literal criminal and some obnoxious podcast lady, and even change the actual tea itself to be cheaper and NOT have the pyramid shaped bags??? Like... they're just shooting themselves in the foot at this point.
Yup, that's a pretty good summary of the situation!
I saw a comment that said they were convinced Tetley or Yorkshire Tea have bought PG and they're purposely sabotaging the brand, sounds quite plausible haha
This ad campaign is typical pandering to "urban" sensibilities. Great videos and I love your soft-spoken delivery.
What were they thinking? I think nearly everyone likes cute animals, like the meerkats for the comparison site Compare the Market. People also like amusing ads, so Johnny Vegas and a cuddly monkey were perfect.
Until recently PG Tips was owned by Unilever - now it's CVC Capital Partners. Perhaps they're responsible for these changes.
Johnny and the Monkey should defect to Yorkshire Tea! Imagine the boost in sales for any company who adopts them 😛
I'm looking to start growing my own tea. All these companies hate the British people.
We all used to take the piss out off so solid crew and drill rap types of music until people were brainwashed and brow beat into liking it.
Ali g was ritual mocking of what they were going to do to us in the coming decades
Anything that is traditionally British is seen as “wacist” or outdated. I wouldn’t be surprised if other British icons like James Bond, Aston Martin, classic Mini Coopers are labelled as such.
Then get replaced by some DEI woke “mental elf” rip off.
PG Tips are definitely not gonna boost sales with these adverts.
their job isn't to sell tea, it's progress!
Ads trying to be sentimental always fall flat because we all know it's in service of the capitalist system, not a genuine attempt at saying anything.
They don't seem to care about losing sales so why would it be about capitalism. These companies are so big they can afford to push ideological ideas now.
When consumers need tea they just walk in and grab recognised brands. Pg tips will always sell tea
It’s not about capitalism or increasing sales, it’s to appeal to people who wouldn’t even buy the product in the first place.
It’s forced diversity hire, DEI that’s caused mess ups like this.
@@HowToSpec That is an utterly stupid statement.
@@Cade_The_Squirrel if you go about business as a box ticking exercise to please leftists/SJWs on twitter and Reddit, then it leads to poor decisions like this.

Another thing murdered I once loved
Doctor Who
Damn it, why did you have to remind me Harper
If the rights belong to Comic Relief, I would LOVE to see another tea company come in and capitalise on all this, by negotiating a deal to use the character themselves. Imagine Monkey proudly proclaiming he has a new favourite tea as the old one fell off a cliff...
That would be great. He did reference the fall of ITV Digital in the first PG Tips ad, so it wouldn't be the first time!
Yorkshire Tea would be cheeky enough!
am not really much a tea/coffee drinker.
but fact that no company is trying to capitalize on this truly head scratching .
that makes me think something that they are not telling us or keep a secret
tho is more likely due trying get rights to use it...... but shouldn't be that hard right ????
i used to drink pg then swapped to yorkshire, they used to be on par and tasted really good, now pg tips is nowhere near close
My Mum has stopped drinking PG tips, she says it's disgusting now they've changed it. I drink Clipper anyway so I haven't had to change it.
Why are companies insisting on doing the dumbest decisions and self-sabotaging themselves?-
Criminals hire Criminals to advertise their stolen goods.
monkey is still iconic and will never be forgotten .
Their new ads clearly defeat the purpose of advertising, they decided to join the monotone corporate and dystopian scheme of advertising that feels cold and soulless. It almost looks like someone is intentionally taking the piss in the company, how on earth is going against the public help them sell their product?
Good thing that Monkey quit their awful brand before it was too late.
That's the impression I get. It's really bizarre but at least Monkey and Al aren't tied to them.
This is exactly it
I know a 12yr old who was nearly expelled from an expensive private school for the crime of saying "you cheeky monkey" to his friend whilst a socially conscious 16yr old girl was walking past who decided that he was racially abusing her.
I heard of another school where a teacher called for all books containing the word monkey be removed from the school library.
God what I wouldn't give to see monkey and Al come back and just take the piss out of this whole campaign
Come on comic relief balls in your court
This totally would've happened back in the 2000's. Can't see it now, but you never know!
Yorkshire tea ads however…👌🏻
Yorkshire Tea has its own rather dodgy company viewpoints as well. But at least they still know what a good product is, and what their identity is.
I love the classic boxes. Very nice, high quality tea. Both Red and Gold. I like having a Gold on sundays or when I'm feeling extra fancy.
I really appreciate your chill presentation and demeanor. Its hard to find creators nowadays that aren't constantly shouting 'YO WHOTS GOIN ON GOUYS SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON LEAVE IT IN THE COMMENTS DOWN BELOW GOUYS'
Really glad to hear it, that's exactly what I wanted to avoid when I started!
Imagine Yorkshire tea bought out monkey and al that would be amazing.
RIP Monkeh
Not so much of the RIP. Didn't kill him when ITV Digital died, did it?
As he said in the video, the rights aren't owned by PG, but by Comic Relief, so Monkeh can easily pop up elsewhere.
@@AndrewHalliwell they need to realise this and have him return but selling Sainsbury's tea or something
@cyberleaderandy1 I suggested a move to Yorkshire elsewhere in the thread
We were able to bully them into changing Sonic's design, we can bully them into bringing back Monkey
@@SharnOfTheDEAD Do you WANT Monkeh lying about crap teabags?
It’s like the movie industry. Create something that nobody likes, but pushes “the message”. Blame everyone else but yourself when it flops.
The new campaign is cold, unrelatable and corporate.
Can you imagine how much more engaging an ad with a funny, genuine, very British conversation about mental health between Monkey and Al would have been. So it's not even the subject of the ad, it's the sanitised, boring way it's being pushed. Hopefully the more comments PG Tips remove, the more people will comment about it.
I hope a rival tea blender signs up Johnny and Monkey. Meanwhile I am boycotting P.G.
PG Tips Pyramids was since they came out my favourite tea over others like Yorkshire etc. Then in the last about 18 months the price has gone from £3.50 to £5.50 on average and with shrinkflation from 240 bags down to 210 in the UK, WTF?! I would get my daughter to buy them when I visited to see her, my late mum use to buy them and now they've dropped monkey like he didn't exist like some dodgy 70's BBC presenter and spent an obscene amount of money for this toss! I totally agree with you and your video, and I don't often (can't remember last CZcams video I commented on?) reply so this has really hit me to do this, what is wrong with them and you are 100% right in your video about the company ruining my beloved PG Tips Pyramids :(
The whole thing's pretty sad, though your "dropped like some dodgy 70's presenter" comment cracked me up 😂 I'm glad the video resonated and really appreciate you taking the time to comment!
They’re trying to cover up the murder of the pg tips monkey, they know that we know they killed him and are upset about it.
On the bright side, it looks like the Tetley Tea Folk are making a slow return! 😂
If anything, this ad campaign should encourage them to 😆
Maybe the interview he was stressing about was with the police lol 😂😂
I've been going through some stuff, and this nice video really helped me calm down this evening. Thank you, some boi online.
That means a lot to hear, thank you for watching.
I thought it couldn’t get any worse than the first one… the mic popping, that weird laugh, and just the… not so hitting humour
Geez we need monkey back more than ever
In terms of how bad an ad can get, that video might just be... Rock bottom 🥁
It's like they stuck some two bit influencer you or I have never even heard or seen of before, stuck her in front of a mike with a cup of tea and no script and told her to shill her "podcast." Wtaf? Is this some kind of bizarre layered meta ironic humor? I don't get it? What's it got to do with tea?
I’m glad you made a video on this as I noticed the new advert and thought that it’s very off without the monkey. They literally replaced a wholesome puppet with an actual criminal lol
I’m going to buy some Yorkshire tea tomorrow
The ads have *so* little to do with the brand itself- it’s like they’re trying to talk to the audience but just about.. Nothing?
How is this an ad when they’re advertising something as subtly as “Mm this is good tea- anyway about the main topic of this, here’s my career”
I did my duty. I went to Twitter and complained about it.
Yorkshire Tea should def have a tongue in cheek one off ad with Monkey.
the new ad looks like a PR scramble, to get the origional message out with 0 budget and 0 scripting, the exacs are like "we need to do a mental ehalth drive and make people forget our old advertising campaigns" but they're doing it so hamhandedly they're just blowing their own reputation
If only it took 21 Seconds for PG Tips to change their mind about these soulless adverts...
I feel like a lot of tea brands have always marketed their tea in a relatable “this is for your average person” way. So it feels strange to see someone with lots of perfect make up and lighting advertising a tea bag.
Drink Yorkshire Tea instead!
Buy grandma towers instead support nationalism
Buy grandma tawlers tea instead
“I’ve Got My Podcast Microphone” Some Boi Online 2024 😂😂😂
I definitely need to find my old Monkeh plush. These videos helped me remember just how much I enjoyed him as a character, and especially as I plan to move out of the country later this year, he would be a nice and comforting reminder of home. Thank you for making these videos. It's a shame to see what's happened to PG Tips, but we'll always have the memories of our beloved mascot
I'm really glad to hear that, it means a lot! Best of luck to you and monkeh on your travels 🐵
I love that she legit looks like shes gagging everytime she has a sip
A true british tragedy
I think a better title for this atrocious ad is “it’s not tea, it’s vani-tea” given they seem to care way more about putting vapid celebrities prattling on about themselves than any sense of creativity
I think I know why this happened along with the axe of the pyramid tea bags. You see, Unilever sold off Lipton, that also included PG Tips to an investment firm. The company is known as Lipton Teas and Infusions Plant Based Limited.
I grew up with Monkey and Al and I am technically apart of the "new generation" this "generation" that there advertising for have already grown up and grew up mostly with Monkey and Al its so ironic and dumb.
I grew up with Mr Shifter... czcams.com/video/yok1j-OPlAU/video.htmlsi=xodLP0zQgKYgj1Lt
Now? PG Tips is obviously dead. What happened to the rest of Brooke Bond? Is it still made by them? Was it just PG that was bought out by this conglomerate or was it the whole company?
To paraphrase one of the classic advert's punchlines: PG Tips - a bunch of Monkeh liars!
Great video as always. Really hope Monkey and Al return in some capacity. PG was my favourite tea, it's bananas how one bad ad campaign can turn loyal customers away so fast.
Cheers, really appreciate it! I hope so too and the whole thing is definitely bananas...
Looks like people are more angry that the tea seems to go downhill and they got rid of pyramids. It’s one thing to have one bad advert and admit it didn’t work. But to ignore the complaints and make the tea worse is a whole new level. People would be more forgiven if they admit that the advert was crap.
Can't we just call them PC tips now? It even sounds like their product has become brutalist and depressing, like the rules of a socialist run society is rock solid
This is why you don't hold microphones like that. Set them up somewhere and stay in range. They aren't meant to be held close to the mouth, abx _especially_ while also trying to juggle it with a cup of tea!
I sometimes think these ad campaigns are done to draw in negative views so that people click on the brand with range, boosting engagement. The sensible answer to that is to stop buying/drinking PG Tips and post your Monkey pics with _OTHER_ brands of tea.
Great vid mate. Just as funny as PG tips flushing their own business down the pan are some of the comments on here. In particular the ones suggesting Johnny and Monkey defect to Yorkshire Tea. I don't know and I'm just spit balling here but have they heard of this pretty big county called Lancashire? Oh wait a minute, isn't Johnny from there?
If they're looking for a job, there's a PR company Johnny knows of where they are sure to fit right in.
PG Tips more like marketing student tips
I would simply love it if your videos would one day convince PG to bring back Monkeh
Not if they don't improve the quality of their bags. Don't want Monkeh associated with that shit
I feel the Ashley walters advert not only shows how Much adverts are dead it also shows how much tv is dead
11:46 I don't know what I was expecting, but giving away 50 mugs certainly wasn't it! XD Anyone asking for the mugs is probably just an alt account of the company's employees.
I'm lucky in that every so often, I can go down to the farmers market and pick up their tea, it's proper stuff. Expensive, but nice as a treat every so often.
Sad to see Monkey go, he actually made ads worth watching.
Did some digging, it's not the PG we knew and loved any more, and never will be again: they sold the brand - It's now Liptons cheap and nasty in a PG box. RIP.
I'm mortified
RIP MONKEH
