​@Nicky L Sorry Nicky. I'm not sure. I've seen Irish language channels when I've been flicking through when visiting or programmes being advertised but, of course, there's the complication of the Ulster Scots Irish language being slightly different to the Irish Irish language. I'd imagine it's a mix of Scottish Gaelic and Irish Gaelic. I have enough difficulty understanding Derry Girls at times!!! 😀

They used to have adverts that had a story arc in the UK. The Gold Blend Coffee adverts ran for 6 years with 12 adverts showing a romance that started with neighbours borrowing coffee. There was also the OXO family that ran for years. Even Birds Eye Beefburgers had adverts that were like a 45 second soap episode and had continuing stories but, in this case, featuring children.

We do have some localised ads in the uk. I only noticed during covid when I’d video call my parents in the neighbouring county and we’d have the same programme on - suddenly I’d be watching an ad for my local taxi company and they’d have something else.

"Honest Advertising" is like "Military Intelligence", two words that don't belong together.

American advertisers, especially the health insurance companies, are the equivalent of the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: all smiles until you take the bait and then you're trapped for life. I've been watching the NFL Preseason games on the NFL GamePass app with far too many American ads and not one of them would make me want to buy any of the products if they were available here. They are either the child catcher ads I mentioned or that plainly purile 'humour' that Americans seem to lap up. I'll be glad when the regular NFL season starts so that I can watch it on Sky Sports with British ads made for British adults! When Star Trek The Next Generation was first broadcast in the early 90s on BBC2 it was on for forty minutes without any ad breaks at all. I went to New York around the same time and watched an episode in my hotel room and it was on for an hour and went like this: Ads, Opening scene, ads, opening credits, ads, first part, ads, second part, ads, third part, ads, closing credits, ads! I'm convinced that tv shows in America are there for the benefit of the advertisers not the other way round.

Re UK television advertising, the following information is taken from the UK tv and radio listings magazine, The Radio Times, 27 Aug to 2 Sept 2022.... "Currently commercial public service broadcasters, that is ITV, STV, Channel 4, S4C, and Channel 5 are restricted to an average of 7 minutes of advertising per hour with an extra minute in primetime. Other commercial broadcasters are allowed up to 9 minutes per hour or longer in the case of teleshopping channels." That therefore is the current situation regarding commercial breaks on tv in the UK. All BBC channels in the UK, both tv and radio, contain no commercials or paid for advertising of course.

Hi Joel here in Britain we have a wonderful piece of technology called the Mute button, and the Off switch, many people over the years have got so fed up with media in general the we mute adverts and look at one another and have conversions we have also stopped buying newspapers, to be honest not all ads are ignored as you, yourself has shown, some ads are of hi quality entertainment without being in your face, something the American Ad men should take note, is that American Ads are not to the British taste and the products are less likely to be taken notice of and bought in the UK, Hope your recent visit to the UK gave you some insight into British culture, your a good chap and doing an amazing job shining a light on world culture.

Joe pointed out we now have programme sponsorship and product placement. However, there’s a big difference in how they are implemented here. A programme sponsor is forbidden from having any influence or editorial input over the content of the programme. If a sponsor is unhappy with the content, their only option is to stop sponsoring it. Similarly, product placement must be “incidental”, in that it cannot influence the content. For example, the product can appear, but nobody can make any direct reference to it. Since you’ve been bombarded with Cadbury’s chocolate, you might want to look at some of their older ads. Search for Cadbury’s Smash and you’ll find some very amusing old ads from the 70s and 80s. There was also a whole series of semi-erotic ads for Cadbury’s Flake. You might be baffled by the Cadbury’s gorilla ad too. One of the most imaginative series of ads from decades ago (before tobacco ads were banned), was for Hamlet cigars - “Happiness is a cigar called Hamlet”, which were very amusing.

I only watch to public broadcaster. Programs are not interrupted by adverts. Sometimes there are adverts between programs, but not always. German and Dutch public tv do have blocks of adverts between programs, Belgian televion has sponsor messages and public annoucements between shows. BBC mainly public annoucements. So I hardly see any ads at all. I do this on principle, but never felt I missed anything important by not watching commercial stations.

There are two differences between US and European TV. One is the frame rate, based on the mains power frequency, and the other is the colour system, NTSC vs PAL. It was the latter that caused the colour problems in the early days when showing American shows on British TV. Both of these are ameliorated if the source material is film, since the frame rate is the same worldwide, and each region can encode to their respective colour systems when broadcasting to TV. The colour conversion problem was fixed with the introduction of digital media and software-based conversion.

Ads are targeted to specific regions, for example we receive ads for furniture shops around here

The first time I saw adverts from the USA was in the early 1990's. One thing that was different back then was the USA ads would directly compare their product with a rival brand (eg Energizer vs Duracell batteries), but in the UK at that time you couldn't directly compare your product with a rival brand name, it would be Energizer batteries last 6 times longer than the "UK's leading brand". It's changed now as there are adverts on UK TV at the moment where the supermarkets name their rivals saying their prices are cheaper etc.

He actually was speaking French lol we get taught it in school, probably similar to how you're taught Spanish

I believe Evan has some older videos with some of his friends from the England, Scotland, and Australia where they each made him watch various ads they remembered from their childhood or that they considered to be iconic and then Evan shows him ads from the US. His compilation videos with his friends comparing the US with other places is how I discovered his channel, and then he’s just a fun guy to watch that I’ve kept watching. So you could check those out. I know I’ve watched similar videos recommended by KZread on other channels where the producer of the channel has people from different places discuss ads they remember or consider iconic from where they’re from and then they show the ads in the video and people not from that country react to the ads. I didn’t subscribe to those channels and they usually come up as recommended videos when watching Evan’s videos and then you can easily go down the KZread recommendation rabbit hole! LOL I grew up as a kid in the 1980s, so as a kid I was used to ads that related to the shows I was watching. Watching GIJoe cartoon, there’s going to be GIJoe toy ads shown. And usually it was like you’d get introduced to some new characters and vehicles and then the commercials would come on and it’d literally be advertising the new toys of those characters and vehicles (which we likely wouldn’t see again in future episodes or if we did, they’d be dressed differently or some other change to then sell us that version). GIJoe, He-Man, Voltron, even my sister watching Strawberry Shortcake, My Little Pony, and so on would have it the same way. It wasn’t until the early 1990s that there were changes by government about advertising and about children’s programming. In the 1980s, Saturday Morning Cartoons were just cartoons. They might include some “lesson” talked about briefly at the end of the episode, but the show itself wasn’t educational. Governments began requiring more educational programming. I can’t complain, it did give us Bill Nye The Science Guy and Beakman’s World. During the week I usually watched the gameshow Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego and Square One TV on PBS (I especially liked the Mathnet parody skit that was on Square One where Monday a mystery would start and by Friday it would get solved). Plus no ads on PBS. I don’t recall any PBS shows having in episode ads until the late 1990e and early 2000s. And I probably wouldn’t have noticed except that one of my friends often had to babysit his oldest sister’s two girls who were preschool aged and so watched a lot of PBS at that time. So anytime I was visiting him or dropped off a mutual friend or stopped by to pick something up he borrowed from me (usually movies or tv series box sets), I’d notice the PBS channel on the tv playing or it was a recording playing of a show that aired on PBS earlier that day. I remember my friends and I discussing the ads and some of them remembered them while still in school so that’s why I say late 1990s. I wasn’t watching PBS by then because I was either a senior in high school or in college by then and working so didn’t watch as much tv as I did when I was in elementary and junior high school. While there are certainly times when Evan has had different experiences from myself, the vast majority of the time he’s either spot on or close enough with his experience as an American. I wouldn’t expect it to be completely exact considering he grew up in New Jersey and I grew up in rural Oklahoma. So there’s going to be some differences, but nothing that I consider significant enough that I think his experiences would be unrepresentative in general for Americans. I think most Americans hear him talk or see what he presents and think: “Yeah, that’s about right.” I mean, it definitely is enough for folks who didn’t grow up here to understand. And really that’s what he’s getting at. I mean, I have a friend whose an American, but at the age of 7 or 8, her mom passed away. Her parents were divorced and her dad was from Australia so that’s where she grew up until she was 17 and moved back to the US to live with an aunt who offered to pay for her to go to college here. So whenever we get together to chat, because she speaks with a standard American midwestern accent and I’ve known her since high school I do sometimes forget that she didn’t completely grow up here in the US and I’ll mention something and she’ll ask me to explain what I mean because she has no memory of that because that wasn’t part of her lived experience. Great video reaction!!!

In Scotland we have our ownTV from BBC or ITV we also have Alba which is Galic speaking TV, they make Scotish shows. Years ago in Scotland when the BBC were closing for the night a Scotish minister he would tell you about God. It was very odd but there were extreamly funny comady stuff taking the piss.

Fred flintstone got me hooked on smoking, usually when I'm watching TV and averts appear I put the kettle on for a cup of tea or go to the John. I sometimes like a catchy jingle on an ad, sometimes I have watched an advert 30/40 times with out actually knowing what they were advertising. I say to myself one day I will pay attention and see what they are really trying to sell me. But usually my mind goes blank when adverts appear.

Look up.the Irn Bru adverts. In Scoland we call all soft drinks Ginger. So you would say to your mate " any ginger" and he would say aye Irn Bru or Coke.

Regarding film speed both 16mm and 35mm film run at 24 frames per second. That will not scan for television so they run it at 25 frames per second. You can't hear the difference. I worked in a cinema where the projectors ran at 25 frames per second. They did for years and nobody noticed. The difference in run time of a program was minimal.

JP my all time favourites for tv were Peter Kay for John Smiths… check out top bombing …has me in fits every time

oh eight hundred double oh, ten sixty six, the jingle of my childhood, hastings direct, which was maybe car insurance? i remember the seagul annoying the statue and the jingle still and its been maybe 15 years since then?
