My fave ad is still the Oululainen jälkiuunileipä "Kova(a?) kuin elämä" ad. It's like 30 seconds, but it just tickles me for some reason. "Well, are you hungry or not?"

Siwa is no more. RIP Siwa

There was once a TV ad (sometime during the'70s & '80s) where one Finnish coffee brand was advertising it's coffee. There were older people sitting in a garden around garden tables and the narrator said something like: "You should also end your day with (the brand name)'s coffee. "Ending your day" means nowadays more or less killing yourself. 🙈

That Koff beer commercial is super funny. I remember that and those ice hockey commercials.

10:14 Aspirin thins blood so it was used regularly in 60's to 90s' to reduce chance to have blood clots and heart attacks. Its same aspirin you use for headache but you cant advertise it that way anymore in Finland.

Basically makes you bleed more, so in general not a great idea to use regularly.

One of the most memorable Finnish commercials from my childhood (this one is from late 70's or early 80's), was "Panit maitoa tulemaan", which you should find from KZread. It's not particularly funny, but the song with new lyrics made it memorable. It is a commercial of a Finnish dairy company Valio. Since it doesn't have English subtitles, the plot in short is, that the girls moves to the city, and the boy stays at the countryside. The boy says, that he can't write letters, but he will send milk to the city. Every time the girl is drinking milk, she remembers the boy, and therefore end the end decides to return to him.

Favourite finnish commercial is the saludo coffee commercial. Old woman starts pouring to a young man and the man says "do we have anything else? Flat white, latte macchiato..?" To which the grandma responds: "stop talking bullshit, this is good" and pours it anyways

11:13 yes. that's very normal. something about going from really warm to really cold just feels great.

there is series/compilation of old ads from finland, one of these had the legendary funny ad where they advertising tupla-chocolate bar... it goes something like this "the girl is not aware that there is some bar behind wall ;) " means chocolate bar of course but also the "D" :D

In Finland we have a lot of channels that people still watch regularly. So commercials are an everyday thing. And with TV & Radio tax we get a lot of stuff on TV and don't have to pay for streaming or cable/satellite. I personally don't have ANY streaming (TV/Movie)services. My parents and other family have basic TV. Only my brother has a satellite dish. The rest of us don't care we can see good enough TV without paying extra. Also those commercials about "Born to create Drama". I've never seen them on Finnish TV. I think they are made by a Finnish director or a producer to be shown elsewhere. Also if you want funny commercials from Finland... Kari Grandi commercials are good. I still remember all of them from my youth.

Yes in winter sometimes we jump out of a sauna and into the snow 😅 In the wilderness or otherwise. Last time for me was a couple of years ago.

All of the hockey adverts were about Pelicans, the hockey team from Lahti, Finland. :)

Maybe im too young but i have only seen 2 of these ads on tv... Old commercials were great 😂

Aspirin in general thins the blood (lowers clotting) and therefore these low doses (100mg) were marketed and presrcibed. Today they’re not so sure of the efficacy in preventing heart attacks.

Yes, the name Siwa is no more, but all that really changed was that they were absorbed into Kesko's S-market chain and changed their store names by 2017. But they are effectively the same stores at same locations, with often the same employees It took me almost a year to even notice my local Siwa had changed into S-chain store since only the logos had changed 😂

It seems odd that some of those were in English, but sometimes the commercials are submitted to international festivals/competitions and they receive English translations. I did an English language voice-over for a translated YLE Sport commercial a few years ago for this reason.

@@pentti3715 No they don't, also I think you are confusing refugees with immigrants which are not the same But even in your example of refugees, who are NOT in Finland permanently to put down roots, do you really think they speak/understand Finnish rather than English? or have easier time or better value if they invest not in learning English but study Finnish instead (that 99.9% of them will never master well enough to understand normal Finnish spoken by natives), a language that is 100% useless outside of Finland and even a few places inside of Finland I used to work several years in tourism, culture and as head of international student tutors and with in many other positions that included management roles with immigrant workers. Yet so far, I have met only two *adult/teen* immigrants who became truly fluent in Finnish and the other one was half-Finnish. Even for them, it took insane amounts of daily (4h/day) supervised studies for nearly a decade for them to get there, and the other one had a Finnish wife who only spoke Finnish to him, when possible, to help the process along A major problem with learning Finnish is that Finns will almost always switch to English, rather than suffer using simplified Finnish and trying to decode what the other person might be trying to say with broken/basic Finnish with either all the grammar missing or wrong (MUCH harder than with broken English)

The ZYX throat candy makeup is not common. Clearly inspired by KISS. Also if you look, the makeup itself spells the name of the candy, ZYX.

Ja juuri tämän koskettavuuden ja sen surullisen tarinan vuoksi, kappale on todella vaikea laulaa. Kaikilla meillä on enkeleitä, joten omistan tämän heille". In English " When I heard this song for the very first time, I was deeply touched. And because it is so touching, and it's such a sad story, it's almost impossible to sing. We all have angels. I dedicate this song for them". kzread.info/dash/bejne/lYtry9mxhKXQm5s.html&ab_channel=AlbertoS%C3%A1nchezBeltr%C3%A1n

Too many commercials I'd never seen and I lived all my life in Finland.

About Finnish music....Here's one for you. It's a Finnish folk song. Don't mind if you don't understand the words, because some of the words are so ancient, that not even Finnish people know what they mean - apart from linguistic experts. But the title of the song is called "Emoton", which basically means "Motherless" as far as I know. Talking about linguistic experts, J.R.R. Tolkien created Elvish language, which is heavily based on Finnish Language. Many of the Finnish words were sort of "borrowed" by Tolkien. We don't mind :) So this is how Elvish song sounds like : kzread.info/dash/bejne/iJ6nta-CiLLUnpM.html&ab_channel=V%C3%A4rttin%C3%A4FanClub

Aspirin in general lowers your risk for heart attack. But you shouldn't really take it if your doctor doesn't order it to you.

Where have these commercials been shown?

Watch the ad from Finnish distillery Kyrö.

I don't know if it was a local phenom but where I live we called Siwa the most robbed grocery store chain in finland. They were.... Unlucky with the less fortunate people of our society. The chain doesn't exists with the name anymore to my knowledge. I think they were bought out by some larger chain or something.

Siwa had the slogan "Siwa on selvää säästöä" - you could translate it "In Siwa you save". Well. Some of the most expensive stuff there, perhaps counting out dairy products. The smaller Siwa stores, some of them approaching kiosk size, but allowing customers to roam the aisles, were often occupied by one employee, often a young female. Easy bait for someone who wanted to run off with a case of beer, or even rob them of their money, the perps seldom expected to meet any resistance. I remember some years back when municipalities had their own welfare offices... at least where I live the office gave their "customers" commitments for shopping groceries and household supplies, and the comms were granted for Siwa. Perhaps with the idea that the customer couldn't possibly have gotten cashback like from shopping in the K or S groups.

Yes SAAB is Swedish, but a lot of them were made in Finland too at that time.

Several Saab models were made in Finland. for example Saab's V8 engine, there are 3-5 of them in the whole world, there is one in the Linnavuori factory in the museum, and the other is attached to the bow of a similar Saab 9000. kzread.info/dash/bejne/nmat18FqYaa3eKQ.html

Agreed

I don`t agree with all this coomercials being Finnish. See the Maito (milk) commercials fec from the 90´s

I believe that funny commercials are illegal nowadays. Half of the commercials are about "give me your money" -type. The good old days of TV seem to have gone away like the wind from the rear end. The best commercial I can remember was pure genius. White screen for a while, no sound. A condom drops in the middle of the screen. Title "you don't always have to watch TV". The end.

They used to have very funny ad's. Then something happened about 10 years ago and now it's a hurricane if an ad even says "especially made for women" (like in deodorant or something). Weird butt hippies start a storm and this is why we have ad's like this today "We made a soap. It is a soap. We mean, you can use it as a soap and we apologize if you don't like our word for soap and we'll fire those who made this ad". The sad part is that that isn't a joke. It's not a real ad, but that how it goes these days. Everyone's a dandelion. Fuck that.
