No offense to y'alls egg shaped cars 😅 it's just not a common thing seen over here!!! 😭💕
Egg shaped, oval shaped, rounded, etc
That is the most hilarious thing ever! The most common car here now are 4x4 suv type. The diamond = Renault (French) and the lion is Peugeot (also French), unless you meant the Jaguar - but they're not egg shaped cars....
I have no idea what egg shaped cars are 😀 don't really fit hummers on UK roads lol
Not sure what you mean by egg shaped cars lol. Toyotas are really common over here. As well as vauxhall, volkswagen, ford, nissan, renault etc.
I can only afford a small 'egg' shaped car 🤣 they are very handy for navigating narrow country lanes and sometimes equally narrow city roads. I also have no problem fitting into the tiny parking spaces we seem to have in older car parks (parking lots), unless I have to squeeze between two huge SUVs... there are so many of them here these days.
Our 'French Fries' look weird, because they are not French Fries, they are CHIPS !!
French fries here would be the thin chips.. and yeah I would still call them chips anyway
😂😂😂😂
@@mdx7460 Calling Maccy D's fries, chips is like calling chocolate a viable teapot manufacturing material.
I said the same thing 🤣
British adverts have a different mentality to US ones: we don't like being sold to, so adverts have to create something entertaining in order for us to respond positively.
Yes! We tend to respond negatively to pushy sales people
Truth, we stubborn 🤣 you push a sale on me I’ll never buy from you ever
UK advertising standards are also much stricter than in the US, so advertisers have to be more creative.
British tv has the BEST commercials period
@@laurenminton6133 facts
You can't really see it on the video, but the boy in the BHF video has a scar on his chest showing that he had heart surgery himself. Also the MacMillan advert does not refer to the cost of treatment (which is covered by our great NHS) but some of the additional costs such as if you lose your job and a myriad of other things to help people suffering with cancer and their families.
Macmillan is incredible, when my nanna was dying they came everyday to give her end of life care, its a charity and is all done free of charge.
My mum was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer. Their online chat was wonderful today to be able to speak about it, and feel heard.
Same here for my dad. The amount they did from financial help for bills to even arranging acupuncture to see if it would help with pain relief.
I shaved my head to raise money for Macmillan. Most worthwhile thing i have ever done.
Wow - and here in the UK we can’t comprehend having to pay for cancer treatment, dialysis or any other medical treatment needed. It must be so scary living in the USA.
It has always struck me that the USA is a country of abundance, to a ridiculeous degree, except for one thing: compassion for their fellow citizens.
@@ukoutdoors3022 .
Apart from a few very small countries, the USA is the only country in the world where employees do not have a legal right to paid annual leave.
Also, only Somalia and the US tax their citizens workingand living abroad.
Taxation without representation. The irony.
@@hareecionelson5875 maybe another " Revolution" freedom from corporate corruption!
Like how she keeps correcting the queens english so american.
@@atiminthailand4531 boi our chips arent French
No one speaks the queen's English but the Queen 🤣🤣
Chips are call chips because they're chips of potato, i don't know what a french fry is unless your fry the french?
@@liannemorgan5797 yes we do. Not with the same accent necessarily, but grammatically
@@irenejohnston6802 am 34 and worked all over UK, hospitality, I meet over 500 people a day, and no one speaks the queen's English unless u happen to be a privilege hereditary child to Oxford University 🤣🤣🤣 be real, u obviously live in the rich sides
What do you mean do you have Toyota ads in the uk? It’s a Japanese car and if you have them in America so will we 😭
@@jennybowd2962 I can’t think of a country that wouldn’t have Toyota’s 😂
We've had a UK branch since the 60s, and have been manufacturing them since 1992 (when the first car was finished)...
When I was in England I only ever saw the diamond or lion symbol cars that are very round.... No Toyota in sight!!! 😂
@@andyt8216 ROUNDED CARS!! Like I pointed out in the reaction 🤦🏽♀️😅
@@FavourInternational I think you’re thinking about Renault (diamond) and possibly Peugeot (lion), two French manufacturers. They are popular in UK, true. But you’re misremembering, there are many popular brands in UK eg Ford, Toyota, BMW, etc. That you’ll see everywhere
It blows my mind some of the things Americans think 😂😂
Like, yes we have toyotas! 🤦🏽♂️
Fr 💀
Theres a whole, evolved world outside of the US, who knew??? hahah
It's no coincidence that many British film directors started out making commercials.
Those were chips not french fries there is a MASSIVE difference in texture and taste, the best analogy I can think of is that chips are like fresh ground coffee and french fries are instant coffee from a jar.
Edit - Typo sorry.
McMillan is a charity so it relies on the people’s donations
The British Heart Foundation is a charity that uses donations to fund medical research into heart disease. There are many similar medical research charities for different diseases. The Macmillan Nurses are also a charity that provides emotional and social support for cancer patients and their dependents.
The UK has a variety of cars - I think people generally prefer a smaller car, particularly in cities where parking is limited and the roads here are much smaller than you’d expect! I personally drive a vauxhall insignia because I like/need a big car! 👍
British commercials have been a training ground for some our best film directors for decades, which is one of the reasons why they look as good as they do.
To name a few: Alan Parker (Midnight Express, Mississippi Burning, Evita) sold us frozen foods and later alcohol, Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator) sold us bread, his brother Tony Scott (Top Gun, Crimson Tide, Enemy of the State) sold us cars, Adrian Lyne (Flashdance, Fatal Attraction) sold us jeans.
Before music videos were a thing, commercials were the place you went to showcase your talent.
I personally didn't know that. Amazing.
How dare you not mention John Lewis
Purple Bricks is a real estate trading platform. The advert is saying that you should use them instead of paying an estate agent (who I believe you would call a realtor)
“Your French fries look weird” that made me laugh 😂 but we’re weird here, so those thick ones we all call chips but the thinner ones like the McDonald’s ones a lot of us do call fries, not everyone some people call those chips too but I know a lot of people that say fries if they’re skinny 😂
When you said "Jimmy Saville?" I spat my drink out laughing.
“A Savilles love story... Jimmy Saville?”
Oh, good god, I hope not!!!
Feel my innards turn ! 😱🤮
A little bit of knowledge is dangerous....yikes
Definitely! 🤮😂
Jimmy Saville? Argghh.. God forbid !😱😱😱
8:51 in some cases charities like this can get a small amount of government funding but they rely on donations and fund raising
“Jimmy saville? Oh no” hahahah I’m dead they definitely wouldn’t put Jimmy saville in a advert 😂
Yeah.
"A Savills Love Story."
"Jimmy Saville?"
Oh no, oh nooooooo
Anymore. We wouldn't put him in an advert anymore. Back in the 70s though he was the face of British Rail and fasten your seatbelts for years.
Definitely not Jimmy Saville 😂😂 (may want to Google him 😘)
They might if they wanted to really stick the knife in the BBC.
I laughed way harder than I should at that 😱🤣
You couldn't understand a word of what the kid was saying whereas I understood it all being from the North of England 😂
Not necessarily. From St. Albans but grew up in NZ and now live in Ireland, and I can still understand what he says. But I admit to having problems with a lot of the different US accents, subtitles are my friend in these cases.
Hahaha so did I, I'm from teesside
I understood it being from Teesside
and I understood it too, and I’m from London!
I don’t think she is very bright she seems in a constant state of confusion.
We don't import the Corolla - we make it in Toyota's plant in the English midlands.
Yeah Macmillan Cancer Support is a charity who run on donations from the public. They provide care and support to patients and their families.
The little text, they're up front about it because regulation has forced them to be (I think). You also seem to be very surprised that we have well established international companies in the UK which is a well established first world country.
A Conservatory looks like a greenhouse built onto the back of a house. An indoor space but full of the sunshine, not for growing plants in
3:24 It is said everyone in the UK is never more than 72 miles from the sea. Its very easy to see the sea but not all beaches are safe for water sports or that safely accessible.
And that's at low tide. At high tide furthest from the sea is Cromwell Lock near Newark-on-Trent, Notts, at only 45 miles.
Loads of car are actually made in the uk including Nissan, Vauxhall, Land Rover and Toyota (and loads more) so we have just as much of a variety as the US does
Lots of cars are made here but very few are now from an entirely British company.
I had Cancer, the NHS hospital took out the parts affected, Free.... drugs , free, and now all my medication for the next 5 years are Free !
Sometimes people of the UK don't know how good we have it !!
I had cancer here 🇬🇧 top treatment, radiotherapy, surgery, specialists, even dentures ( radiotherapy killed my jaw bone) still have follow up appointments 13 yrs later, £0
Hope your doing well m8 🤞👍
10:07 that's not a restaurant ad that's an M&S ad, a supermarket here ❤
Egg shaped cars? WTF? The UK has the same type of cars as the US minus the muscle cars or pickup trucks to a certain extent.
😂😂
NOT EVEN CLOSE 🤣
We have a lot of cars in UK not just the oval volks wagons, we also have our own car brands like Vauxhall. Most american car manufacturers just do automatic cars (as far as I'm aware) and most people in Europe and UK drive manual, so we go for european and Japanese car brands. But we have Fords, Jeeps, Teslas and others but you wont really see Cadillacs or Mustangs; cars that are very American. Not that these cars don't exist in the UK, some people do have them but they are just hard to get your hands on I think you have to import them into the UK as there's no sellers for a lot of those typically American car brands.
Some wouldn't pass the MOT either and I'm told that driving them on the narrow, windy country lanes is next to impossible.
I am trying to work out what cars you think we drive lol
Apparently mainly French ones 🤷♀️
"Literally egg shaped" ones!?
I’ve never heard anyone refer to a conservatory as an interior garden before but I love it!
Macmillan are a charitable foundation when my Grandfather had terminal cancer Macmillan provided him with a nurse who was with him 24/7 for the last 6 months of his life and they never asked for a penny.
you saw a video from a while ago, not all cars are oval it was just a trend a couple years backin 2010s, if you look at car trends in america they would be different now than a few years ago.
All our cars are egg shaped? Like WHAAAAAAAT??? We have all brands of cars here, including American. We even build Nissan cars in the UK. They have a factory in Sunderland (in the North East). Ha ha ha ha you make me chuckle. Bless ya. 😀
M&S is a department store that also sells food
@@lovelybitofbugle219 it's an M&S department store. If it was Debenhams or Lewis's, it would've been closed down by now.
Watching British adverts, she complains about British accent in the adverts 😆
They are not French fries they are proper chips, very very different.
All your cars are "Egg shaped"? pmsl what???????????
It’s called a hatchback lol
Egg shaped cars must run on Shell petrol.
Pretty much everyone in the UK film industry is freelance, so they do commercials too.
It always surprises me when Americans act surprised that other countries have things they have. In a number of cases it didn't originate in the US either. Really, surprise over the UK having Toyota and industrialization?
The music on the Ikea advert was sung by Roy Orbison, born in west Texas. Had a tragic life. Two of his children died in a house fire while he was away on tour. His wife died in a motorcycle accident while he was riding a different motorcycle. He was really big in the UK but not I think in the US?
I literally put my head into my hand... about the last ad.. about Jimmy Saville :')
No 'e' on the end of the advertiser's name.
You've really got to wise up a bit. There's a big world out there.
We have some many holiday (vacation) adverts. Because unlike the USA we have anywhere from 30 to 40 days a year Holidays.
My sister used to have a Chevrolet spark but was advised to get rid of it by the dealer after only 2 years as Chevrolet dropped the UK market and getting spare parts became nearly impossible.
Yeah we had one. Bloody awful car! We had to scrap it in the end
A lot of countries make laws about the shape of a cars wings, hood and bumper. These are so that if they hit anyone the victim slides off with less injury; at least in theory.
Macmillan is a charity in the UK that helps cancer patients and their family in any way they need. When my mum was sick she was taken to a Macmillan office that was actually based in the hospital and they helped with getting benefits sorted for her and told her about all the things she qualified for after her diagnosis. They also offer free counselling and advice to anyone with cancer. They even have nurses who come round and see you to make sure you have everything you need. They are literally the angels of this world!
some of those ads are cringy ... from the land of prescription medication adverts!
Wow its so nice to hear an Americans perspective of our life here , especially regarding our NHS . Hopefully it makes all us Brits appreciate what we have.
Its not that you have to pay for the healthcare if you have cancer, but you might not be able to work so that’s what the financial support is for.
The m and s meal is plenty of food, it’s a British shop, been around for over 100 years, £20 is a brilliant price and wine included too.
Had a pain du chocolat from there yesterday. I opened it and took a bite.The pearly gates opened. I think I saw my grandma....glorious.
Another great video💛
Born and bred Londoner, I’ve never driven an egg shaped car hahaaa what even is that?
Such an American thing to see a three course meal and complain about the portion sizes...
Toyota is Japanese who also drive on the left as in the UK, therefore it's easy to export
Remember Walter White and Breaking Bad, Well it would of been a very short show if it was set in the U.K. Walter gets Cancer, NHS treats him, the end.
M & S is a chain store and £20 is not 20 bucks it is more like 30 bucks.
All these charities advertising are either extra help or, usually, research groups. The actual care (including drugs) is provided by the NHS via normal taxation.
Here in the U.K. Macmillan is a charity that supports people when they have cancer. Usually with advice, counselling, hospices and that sort of thing. All cancer treatments like chemo, radiotherapy, dialysis, infusion meds are covered by the NHS. Places like Macmillan and Marie Curie are charities that support the people outside of the medical stuff. Also the heart foundation is a charity that researches cardiovascular health and treatments for diseases, and also offers some support to patients, similar to Macmillan. For cancer research there is cancer research U.K. which is also a charitable organisation. I believe many of these charities do receive government funding especially for research purposes and public health facilities.
Some roads are smaller due to the cities being old which means some people prefer smaller "rounder" cars to large boxy ones that don't fit on the roads
conservatory a room with a glass roof somtimes plastic and glass walls, attached to a house at one side and used as a sun lounge or for growing delicate plants.
I can’t say enough how amazing McMillian are. My aunt ended up in one of their hospices for her end of life care & they were just amazing.
The top 10 Irn-Bru commercials are funny
The snowman will always be my favourite
@@harrymorris2361 there’s been a few Belters Buddy
The Maltesers advert in you thumbnail picture wasn’t in the video did it get cut out when your phone cut out
M&S is primarily a clothes shop that also sells food on the side which was added some time ago (and the bigger stores sometimes will also sell other stuff like toys, books, greeting cards, houseware etc)
A lot of M&S stores also have a little cafe on the inside too 💜
M&S is usually one of the more expensive shops to go to though 😅
Again you seem really suprised at the outside world..
Toyotas are Japanese... not American. Also manufactured in the uk as well
a conservatory is a mainly glass-constructed add-on to a house with internal access, built for plants, really an upmarket greehouse; however if it contains furniture, it's a garden room in the UK.
in Great Britain if you become ill with anything you do not have to worry about money unlike America where at the end of treatment you get presented with a huge bill. Thank god I live in England.
I always turn over when the adverts come on the tele, but I enjoyed watching them with you.
UK may have the most interesting adverts but we also have the most messed up Public Information Films (PSAs) that have terrified countless viewers over the decades.
I would recommend checking out the scariest Public Information Films sometime.
True! Some of the ‘speed kills’ and other road safety adds have scarred me for life, and I still shudder to recall when my school sat us all in the hall at about age 5 to show us a PSA about train and railroad safety that included decapitation of you stuck your head out of the window of a slam door train in motion 😱
@@bookwyrmroo5704 And yet pillocks still get killed wandering around on the tracks.
Years ago, Ridley Scot (Alien) made UK ads, one of the most famous.
I think one reason why production values may be higher in UK TV advertising could be because we have traditionally had fewer commercial channels than the US. This means television advertising budgets aren't spread as thinly and maybe more focused.
Regarding the wording on adverts, Europe generally has much stronger consumer protection legislation than in the US.
A lot of the ads depend on the channel you are watching. If it is a channel that shows re-runs of old shows that an elderly person would watch, the ads are mainly animal charities, water projects in Africa, funeral plans, over 50s life insurance or ways to "release the equity in your home" (i.e. sell part of it to a finance company).
Wethers are made by a German company but are sold all over the world
basically m&s is like a fancy supermarket or what you call it grocery store
The reason most people in th UK drive small hatchbacks or crossover SUVs is partly the cost of fuel which is roughly $6.20 per US gallon and partly because large cars and truck wouldn't fit in our parking spaces or down our country roads. The large US cars have earned a (probably unfair now) terrible reputation for poor handling and brakes. The classic Dodge Charger RT goes faster 0-60 than it does 60-0. On a british back road a Panda is faster than a Hellcat 😂😂😂
It must be where you lived that cars are a particular type; people have different ones depending on budget, space, use etc. We have a huge range of options, mostly of international car brands (although some are manufactured here).
If you're in a city, especially in an area with less available parking, then people will buy smaller cars.
BHF is British Heart foundation it is a charity that raises money to help pay for research into heart disease, Macmillan Support is a charity that relies on public donations to help provide support including nurses and hospices for cancer patients and their families
Idk if it’s common in US but in the UK we usually buy second hand unless we are really trying to get our credit score up. My partner has bought all his cars second hand and we have never gotten a car on finance or payed for a brand new one. Our most recent car we bought from a garage which is only 8 years old has very little miles on it. No damage and it only cost us £6000 we got a small loan from our parents which is pretty much a 3rd payed off in just less than a year. So with no dept on paper. That’s maybe why ur seen a lot of older cars
I have always found it funny when Americans say "you have a funny accent". When I lived in the US I had some fun with that notion.
I don't have an accent, I have a dialect. The Americans have an accent, you speak English with an American accent.
Added bonus, it did trigger some people 😅
British TV commercials are renowned to be the best in the world
British adverts are high maintenance so that they are eye catching enough for positive responses
Loved watching this. Yes we do have a great NHS. Ref your comments about Macmillan. This is one of many charities that support cancer sufferers and families. Same with British heart foundation. If you ever get to run/ watch a marathon in UK yoo will see so many people running to raise money and awareness of these charities.
toyota has a factory in the uk making cars
On my 15 mile drive to work I go past dealerships for the following car companies: Ford, Vauxhall, Toyota, Nissan, Kia, Honda, Renault, BMW.
We have a Toyota factory in the UK. We have a lot of different sized cars from lots of different manufacturers, but unlike the USA do not need to have 6 litre cars which pollute the planet. I had cancer and a MacMillan nurse was there when I was told and went over everything with me. She gave me a card for free prescriptions and I could ring her anytime to talk and could still do so till this day even though I have been given the all clear. I also had my operation in a different county hospital and I got a MacMillan nurse there as well.
We have a national health system that the working people pay for not some rich person.
Lots of Toyotas are "egg shaped". They are more fuel efficient and generally better. Huge, wasteful cars are a US quirk.
Everyone gets free health care here in the UK. Neither of of my children would have been born without our amazing NHS (National Health Service.) My dad and sister both had cancer. They wouldn’t be here either were it not for our NHS.
All healthcare and treatment is free in the uk
The M and S advert includes the champagne.
"jelly bean" shaped cars probably more common in Europe, because fuel economy and emissions are a massive thing there.
M&S is a shop and their brand is food and clothes. It's not a restaurant but they have their own food like Asda, Morrisons, Aldi or Lidl do x
