Aspirin is also a blood thinner, thick blood clogs the heart and leads to heart attacks. But thinning the blood if you have no heart problem is not good. My grandfather took a low dose of Aspirin becasue of heart troubles and had to wear a medical brecelet so that if he was ever in an accident or something first responers could see the reason for him bleeding a lot moore because of the thin blood.
9:45 the vase is not an analogy to the heart breaking; The gentleman just auctioned it away for a million Marks / Euros depending when this was done and then right after the bidder was locked he broke it, hence heightening his likelihood to suffer a heart attack.
The Vase thing, you couldn't be more further from the point. It's the fact that you just broke a million dollar Vase that should give you a heartattack, if you haven't checked your risks.
diles😃
Low dose Aspirin is commonly suggested for people with higher than normal risk for a heart attack. Even chewing a couple while you are having an attack could save your life.
Some years ago, my doctor ordered me to take low-dose Aspirin because of my slightly elevated blood pressure. However, this resulted in causing tiny bleedings in my stomach lining, so it was discontinued. This practice of using Aspirin is nowadays no longer recommended.
@@Gittas-tube Yep. Aspirin is still a good first-aid but for prolonged use there are multiple better, safer and more effective products available - and most of them are made or licenced by Orion Pharma - so they're pretty local too!
Such a blast from the past!
I had completely forgotten the "Drama" campaign for one of the "Culture capital years". They went nuts with it!
Intention was to be a caricature of french shortfilms and kinda jab at the Cannes FIlm Festival (that was and still is weirdly hyped event around here).
It's also fun to see how much people in comments age themselves by saying "I've never seen this on TV!" So many post-Millenium youngsters around!
Let’s just say only _some_ of these (such as the Keiju margarine ad, or the Saab ad with men locking themselves out of a log cabin sauna) are particularly well-known and well-remembered in Finland... many others relatively unknown, or mostly forgotten about. Could be also due to short or regional campaigns or possibly some of the ads having been shown on TV channels not yet available in all parts of the country at the time, such as Kolmoskanava/MTV3 or PTV/Nelonen. These are not bad but I would have chosen mostly a totally different selection of “classic” funniest TV ads from the period spanning from the 1970s to the 1990s if asked to make a “representative” compilation.
@@JukkaMTAho In all fairness, that "not yet available" argument doesn't hold water as most of the ads people do not recognize are relatively recent ones and from period where majority of the country already had access to at least MTV/Nelonen main channels from almost any location via either traditional antenna or early digital broadcast.
I could accept them being regional campaigns but even that is somewhat a stretch as there are no "niche" products or services advertised here. Every product is/was nation-wide available at that point.
I never saw them before and it has nothing to do with my age. I haven't really watched television since the 1990s.
@@joojoojeejee6058 that is 100% valid excuse. If only others had the courtesy of mentioning that if it was the case. :)
I just wanted to say that the second commercial, the 'butter' is actually spread that is made of vegtable fats and thus is better choice for heart and health in general.
Is that what Pekka Puska says?
@@juhanisirkia3618 I wouldn't go so far as to care or know what some person says.
But more the fact that this product Keiju has Heart sign in it.
Informing that product has less 'bad' fats and more 'good' fats, and less salt. Since person needs good fats and oils in them either way.
Little choices like that can matter on the long run.
And no, am not saying that it would be wise to use Keiju as cream on one's ownself. 😂
I think that commercial was so weird but welp, not like I could have made choice on it nor would have such strong positive/negative opinion on the matter either that I would care to do so. 😄
Margarine is not better for the health. There is tons of research date made in US and other parts of the world that shows quite oppesite. Margerine is so prosessed "food" that no-one should eat that. Most of the plant/vegetable placed fats are inflammatory and are bad for your healt and heart as well. Generaly any fats/oils that are generated from seeds are heavily processed and there niids to be lots of chemicals to produce the fats that those sure ain´t good for health in any form.
Congratulations, the advertising was effective on you 😂
Ad tries to say it's less fatty version of fat so it helps you to lose weight / keep your figure. That one is like vegetable oils and water
Finnish commercials with over million views. For some reason all are drink commercials of some sort: "Koskenkorva - Vodka from a Village", "Kyrö Distillery: The Whole Story", "En oo koskaan juonu maitoa... enkä tuukkaan!", "Valion kunnianosoitus Lemmy Kilmisterille | Tribute video for Lemmy Kilmister by Valio" and "Fragile Childhood - Monsters".
Siwa was a store chain in Finland before 2014 i think. it went bankrupt and most of their stores were bought by Kesko also known as K-ryhmä which is the second largest store chain in finland right after the S-ryhmä
Yeah, nowadays it's just S-ryhmä, Kesko and Lidl.
Finnish commercials are more funnier than the actual tv-programs :D
That isn't really hard considering what Finnish "comedy" is like...
Totta
Heart attack, 2 first aid in the ambulance=Aspirin and nitro spray.
Commercials from the era when we didn't take ourselves too seriously.
And that sauna / Saab -commercial..you can't understand it, fully, without experiencing the both of them :D
Correction, it was not butter, its margarine
Yeah, and the joke in the commercial is that it's supposed to be a lower-calorie alternative to butter and therefore help you get into tighter dresses... one way or another.
Usually aspirin is used in small doseages for preventing heart deseases or attacks in daily doses and bigger doses are for pain. Aspirin isn't commonly used for pain in finland. The most common painkillers used are paracetamol and ibuprofein.
Our commercials are weird for sure, but they are not even coming close to weirdness of Japanese commercials!
Aspirin is absolutely true, they use it in hospital if you have heart problems fluctuations etc.
Aspirin really is used to prevent blocks in your blood vessels. It is very common.
1:50 The kid is choosing the 'parent' that has shopped at Siwa supermarket.
I wouldn't call Siwa "super" market, they were more like delis or small cornershops. 😀
@@SimoExMachina2 Yeah, I should have used the term 'grocery store', like in the ad.
Aspirin cardio is used as heart medicine. Been taking it for 5,5 years after I had a heart attact.
i think the vase thing is more like the old guy having heart attack for breaking million euros vase
Aspirin does make blood more fluid and thus in part avoids clots from forming and causing a heart attack.
There was 999 likes and then I pushed the button. 😄 Nice reaction. as always!
I was perscribed aspirin for a while after a suspected blood flow error in my brain. Right eye went blurry for like 10 mins in the gym. Went through bunch of testing and scans but they found nothing. Perscription lasted few months.
1:50 The boy saw when a stranger woman buys her food from Siwa store, so she's a better mother to me than her own mother who doesn't buy food from Siwa.
I laugh when you laugh. I like 😊
Most of these commercials I have never seen before (only the first one, the metalsinger). I think most of these were commercials to sell some finnish products to tourists or for other countries. Not sure, but I have never seen these ones. To be honest, these were more funny than what we usually see on TV or internet commercials 😂
Reaqlly? I have seen them all. Most of them are little older.
@@elisakallokoski801 alright! :) They must have been channels I don't watch, or at the time I haven't watched much TV. 👍☺️
@@ennskale Most of them are from end of 1980's or middle 1990's. The Keiju commercial won the European award of commercials in 1996, there were several hundreds of commercials in the competition. It was a huge news all over Finnish press.
@@mantailuaa ☺️☺️👍 The more you know... ☺️
Also all ads containing alcohol must not air before 21 o'clock in the evening
Saab can be as hot as a sauna
@10:06 Aspirin dilutes the blood, making it less dense and easier for the heart to pump and reduces the risk of it escalating to a full cardiac arrest. This is taught at a mandatory first aid courses in schools here in Finland.
That "baby aspirin" is (or at least was at the time) actually used to prevent heart attacks and blood clot related strokes for high risk people. It works as a mild blood thinner. It's a very low dose compared to the aspirin used as a painkiller.
Telia is a swedish company active all throughout scandinavia and the baltics. :) And places elsewhere in the world too
That ad was for their 1800 MHz band GSM network. I don't think Telia was in Finland yet back then, certainly not using that brand if it was. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Could be a Finnish company making the ad, though. And the men are looking at her butt.
@@blechticTelia and Sonera merged in 2003. Maybe it was around that time, althought Sonera brand was used in Finland until 2017.
Finland isn't part of the Scandinavia. Finland is a part of the Fennoscandia. 😡😡🤬
@@jattikuukunen Telia and Sonera had the same deal as Elisa and Saunalahti. Different brand for different parts of the market. Same infrastructure.
Sonera was the "finnish" brand that was kept around as people were quite slow to accept Telia (the "swedish" brand) as their provider. This also allowed Telia to quietly invest in finnish mobile infastructure more until the final mergers in around 2015-17.
@@Makapaa I somehow seem to recall they were trying to bring the telia brand to Finland right away, but backtracked. That could explain this ad. But I might be totally off as well.
81mg aspirin DOES reduce the risk of heart attack by slightly thinning blood - but it does come with some complications with other medications.
Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is a 'blood thinner' and thus does in fact reduces the risk of a heart attack.
Correct, the first advertisement was for a throat medicine :) It's very good brand, I've used it many times when my throat feels sore.
That li'l drama queens smug smile tho, on par with "Disaster girl".... sheeessh 😑 . . 😂
Well we do have quite dark humor here and we like to laugh so no wonder that the advertisement is like the people here.
The vase is not an analogy, it's more like everyone in that room were in risk of having an heart attack.
God that butter commercial brought me straight back to the past.
When Sweden was in the black tv area a first April joke was if you put a sock over the tv you got color tv. Millions of Swedish people fall for that joke. 😂
The prank call one wasn't really a prank call, but just some guy that wanted to see some booty
Asprin on a low daily dose prevents a lot of things, incl. heart conditions. Most old people in Norway get this from their physician to prevent heart problems. The patent on Asprin is so old it,s not valid anymore. In the US you get 100 pcs of low dose for 1 Euro, but they charge you more than 10 Euro in Norway. PS I love your videos.
in healthy people aspirin is just regular pain med - if you have issues with clotting in general aspirin can and is used for helping with clots :)
For kid the ad was meaning to say siwa is better shop to buy and kid was about to change his parents for person who was shopping at siwa.
I am very finnish, and the Saab commercial is only one of these I have ever seen.
And you are missing so many good finnich commersials, like grandi and tupla.
You could get an heart attack from breaking the 1 million vase👎
Proper Finnish ad, Kyrö Distillery. The long one, 2 min 30
Aspirin makes the blood thiner
It prevents bloodcells (trombocytes) from attaching to each other and because of that it prevents blood clots. Aspirin is also something that you use as first aid medicine if you have a heart attack and that is available. You chew it so it metabolises faster to your bloodstream :)
All these are very amusing, but honestly only few of them were in fact Finnish. At least not shown in Finnish television, possibly directed or produced, but not for the Finnish audience.For example"Aspirin Cardioc" (or whatever) doesn't exist here at all. The SAAB ad with the naked men has been seen though, there was a time some models of this swedish car was indeed produced in Finland, like some models of Mercedes Benz right now.
The package of Aspirin Cardiac did have the "Ei lasten ulottuville" warning right on the front of the box, so I would expect the product to have been available in Finland at some time. Many of these commercials were really old, so maybe it's just not around anymore, like Siwa or Finnish made Saabs. Also, isn't that Keiju packaging from like the 90's?
Aspirin Cardio most definitely does exist here in Finland, though. Not a Finnish brand, no, but a common medicine being sold in pharmacies.
Aspirin Products have changed names and packaging several times since this style was "on". Cardiac itself has, AFAIK, been a victing to tightening of what can be sold on the self - and cardiac-related medicine is no longer one of them.
SAAB and other brands had similar commercials AGES ago! I think I still have some VHS around that'd have this very same bit on there if the tapes would still hold..
"Born to create drama" commercials were, I believe, part of some bigger "culture year" thing with a film festival of sorts. This campaign was quite short run but always fun to spot during the ComBreak! They were intented to be caricatures of French shortfilms & Cannes Film Festival.
Literally most of them were for Finnish audiences, and Aspirin cardio 100 mg most definitely still exists in Finland. Aspirin Cardio costs 13,06 € / 98 pills from Yliopiston Apteekki (or verkkoapteekki). It also has a product / info page on pharmaca fennica, Fimea and Lääkeinfo. Some of the english parts in the ads might be due to ad-competitions (just like finnish comedy shows like Kummeli had special episodes in english for competitions).
The only ads I'm not sure that I've personally seen on Finnish tv were the YDA/Born to create drama -ads. But even those were made by TBWA Helsinki in 2010 and might have been shown, as I've seen them before, not just sure if on TV. Remember that Finnish tv ads for the longest time weren't always targeted for the whole country, and still aren't, or shown on channels that were available to everybody.
Ads I've seen on TV and some info on few of them.
-Heavy metal band, this was easy to remember
-Keiju. The ad is called "Kesämekko", it's from 1995 and it won the Epica award for best commercial in its category. Made by Hasan & Partners for Raisio.
-Siwa, they had tons of low budget ads.
-Pamol F / Orchestra guy. This specific ad was in 2006 and made by Bob Helsinki, it was even on the Finnish news papers as it was somewhat liked (and hated) and the orchestra guy went sort of "viral" (at least for older people) for the time. The campaign as a whole was called "Leiras kiittää" which asked you to thank your doctor (kiitä lääkäriäsi). It won at least one award with that ad. Less than a year later It also got Leiras fined for 30 000 € and was ordered to stop using the ad (failure to prescreen/pre-inspect the ad properly and some other stuff, basicly bribing doctors but so cleverly that government couldn't do anything else). Pamol is made by Leiras, a Finnish company, same that makes Finrexin.
-Saab, just a classic ad for the time. Too many naked people in the snow in ads (Koff to mention one).
-Canal digital (it also says canaldigital.fi)
- Aspirin Cardio. It is absolutely Finnish, from 2008 and was part of a campaign called "avoid unnecessary drama / vältä turhaa draamaa". It was made by Rocky Advertising Oy / Contact agency Toinen (Helsinki). It got bronze in Epica ad awards in its category and won the Finnish "medicine ad of the year" -award. Part of the reason was that it brought attention to preventative heart care without drama or scaring people unnecessarily, like ads often do. Dwayne reacted just the way the ad was designed to do, as he didn't know that aspirin can be used for that either :D
The Kotipizza one is bit of a mystery. Might be an award submission too. Don't remember seeing that specific ad, but it is from around 2000-2008 as that's when the red/yellow box was used. Also a bit weird that the logo is in english.
So yeah, that's my infodump on ads for the day.
@@Trespas There's every chance that (version of the) Kotipizza ad was made to be shown for international audiences, possibly at competitions or such. That was also the year of the "Berlusconi incident". I do remember seeing the ad before (though not what language it was in), since I very much remember being thoroughly embarrassed by it, having been a Kotipizza franchisee at that time.
And those weren't even the wierdest commercials we have...
1:52 joke are there siwa are (old and gone) convenience store what its golden age was often found nearby residential areas (due its small size)
That was Aspirin Cardio, not regular Aspirin. Two different medicines for different uses.
Same medicine but lower dose. Regular aspirin used for pain, fever etc is 500mg. This is 100mg.
Ah, the commercial about Aspirin Cardio and the discussion about the pain medication, Aspirin. Here we run in to the problem that Americans (I know, Dwayne is British, but Americans are the worst offenders of this issue), where people call items by brand names instead of what the items are.
Examples: Kleenex instead of tissue paper, post-its instead of sticky notes, band-aid instead of bandage, chapstick instead of lip balm, tupperware instead of plastic containers, and yes, Aspirin, instead of over-the-counter pain medication (though there are other kinds of these, aspirin is probably the most common). Aspirin, however, is a trademark of the Bayer company that also is featured in other products than pain medication products that they have.
No, the .ming vase wasn't a heart, but the stockbroker, who broke the million's worth vase might have had a heart attack (without the medicin that prevents heart problems)
But.. must be quite an old ad. Was a thing at 1900s or something.
"The role of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in the secondary prevention of myocardial infarction, stroke and TIA attacks was established in the 1980s and the drug is also widely used in the primary prevention of these conditions. The preventive effect of ASA on myocardial infarction was discovered by Lawrence Craven, a Californian physician, as early as the mid-19th century.
- - According to studies published after 2000 and included in a meta-analysis, ASA was not superior to placebo even in the prevention of non-fatal myocardial infarction (Seshasai et al. 2012)."
1:35 Butter does not make people fat! People are fat because they eat too many carbohydrates (sugar, starch, etc.).
11:08 not work. havent been buy pizza there. bcoz again its add and lie make you buy. i dont fell on ads
Most of those ads were pretty old
R.I.P SIWA ❤
Siwa is a grocery store.
European commercials are long and USA commercials are short
Not a single Tupla commercial 😢
I don't own a TV, are those Finnish commercials?
Hard-rock hallelulja, baby!
dairy fat actually protects against abdominal obesity, what she was using was not butter tho
8:08 ...condoms, it's an advert for condoms
wrong. butter dont make you fat. but that sht was margarine and its sht :D
Year 2023. Some of us still think butter makes you fat. We're doomed.
2:41 nOT they advertise it so its lie LOL
Thats not Weird..Thats easyest commercial on finish
I thought Saab was Swedish?!
it was margerine
not butter, plant based margarin...
Why you get in to see comercial I live here for 14 years and when is comercial I put the TV radio or anything with comercial down...you are crazy.
4:23 its just ad make you buy its lie
I LOVE SAABS. So sexy car!
why are you watching old af commercials
Its not butter its margarin.
For the butter she used to oil herself to make dress slide easier, she didnt eat it to get herself more fat 🤣, i have used butter to oil door holding metal pieces works well...
It was not butter, it was margarine.
These aren't finnish but i do love that kid,,,she has "soul" of finnish ppl
Some of those weren't Finnish commercials.
All of these are not Finnish. At least, I've never seen them before.
Both Telia and Saab are Swedish but I guess that different countries have different commercials for the companies
I’ve seen them all
@@moondaughter1004 Saab made in Finland. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valmet_Automotive
Keiju is margarin and its healthier than butter and Siwa was cheapest store in finland
Luckily the Brits can appreciate good humor, because most Americans would never get this.
5:25 or 6:40 or 12:30 isn't Finnish.
And many of these I haven't seen ever, even I am Finn...
its a finnish company that made those commercials (from helsinki) they just don't speak finnish in the ad
@@petergriffin6126 I'm a Finn and do remember most of these commercials, though they are at least from 10 years ago some even older. Some of these videos has also been edited to english or for some reason they have made english versions of them.
They are made by TBWA/PHS Helsinki for use in some other countries, at least France.
They were part of one of the "Culture Capital/Year" campaigns a while back. Caricatures of french/euro shortfilms and, I think I recall, Cannes Film Festival itself.
All these adds are really old
Those kids are not finns.
oh no no you arent yeat see best of those but time line are good not like modern shit poor as hell
they are not all Finnish
oh, the first commercial gave me strong nostalgia 😩 I wish funny commercials were still common
Many of these commercials are not Finnish.
Define "Finnish". All of these have ran on the finnish television and were produced at least in part by finnish companies, to the finnish (and wider) market(s).
@@Makapaa my bad, i have been watching TV from mid -60, but haven't seen some of the commercials in Finland. Maybe I have been to the friz during commercial break. 😀
Finnish children are very mean.
That´s true, docing yourself ab. 50mg of Acid.acetylsalic per day may keep your heardfunctions better...
Telia used to be finnish in origin but Swedes took over in early 2000s
Televerket, later Telia was the swedish national telephone provider, like the post and telegraph department, later Tele was in finland before being privatesized and rebranded as Sonera. The Telia we have now is an union between those two and has the swedish government as the largest share holder.
