Thank you so much for watching! Hope you enjoyed it!
If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)

There was a Gary at my primary school and everyone always did the "No Gary, No!" chant to him, even the principal once at assembly. Must've sucked. I hope Gary's doing okay...

The rabbit fence one does make sense (kinda 😅). It came out when the internet was mostly new to Oz families. So if you had the internet you could get facts to tell you children and they would learn. The kids wouldn't be doing presentations on nasi goreng. Always thought it was great marketing, appealing for parents to do the best they can by their kids; take out a small personal loan to afford some telstra broadband.

"So where the bloody hell are ya?" "Don't chop the dinosaur daddy!" "The crocodile bit me to parts and pieces... Even my leg went that way and my head went that way" "G O... G G O..."

Let's not forget 'Dumb Ways to Die'. Best public awareness campaign I've seen

[@nilesassistancedog7362]

The series of Nescafe ads. It became a serial and we'd keep watching to see how the relationships went

[@mmogaddict]

Yep it was the fore runner to the Rhonda ads

[@Apis4]

Fella, this kid seems like an ok bloke, but he's a bit too young to know the best Aussie ads. You need to watch Ads for Solo lemon squash soft drink, from about the mid 70s to mid 90s, which include such hits as Solo man deliberately losing control of a horse and carriage, just so he can heroically regain control of a horse and carriage; Solo man taking surf rescue speed boat out in to the waves of an abandoned beach where no one needs rescuing, so he can be as glistening as the condensation on his can of Solo; Solo man racing the rapids in a one strap mankini style leotard, in a Kayak, evidently with a can of Solo against his balls, judging from where he produces it from; Solo man crawling across a rope over a pond in a ravine, and jumping in to wrestle a crocodile for his can of Solo; and Solo man riding a Kayak down a mountain in a rain forest, for literally no apparent reason whatsoever. And also Solo man's Moustache. Also some of the Tooheys beer ads, like the How Does it Feel series and Get His Hat. As well as the commercial regularly ranked the greatest commercial ever made, Melbourne Bitter's "Big Ad" Once you've warmed up with those, move on to Australian PSAs circa 1985 to 1995 (be prepared to have nightmares though).

[@Mirrorgirl492]

Ah Solo Man, my teenage idol, but he crushed my heart just like that can of lemonade.

[@katieblackwater2233]

Omg, that baby in the ad was - for sure - eating Vegemite. Every baby in my family has had Vegemite on rusks when teething and lots of kids, and adults, love the taste - not too strong for real Australians lol 🤠

Praying the Rhonda and Katut advertisements are in this 🙏🏻

Nadine Ashton the best one 😭. They also missed the RACQ boat insurance ad “charter boat? What charter boat?”

[@nadineashton2561]

Ikr! The most iconic one and its not in there

[@Angel-pt7ir]

Nadine Ashton they have to do a part 2, too many iconic ones were missed!

Are you feigning not understanding these ads? Because, not being Australian here, I still understood that the corn wasn't raining blood and that Jan missed the deadline for advertising in the Yellow Pages.

[@rhiannon.de.rohan-thomas]

"We started playing cricket and I hit the ball so high that uncle Mark, he forgot where he was going, tried to catch the ball and landed face first in the mud. It was so funny, dad. You should've been there." Depressing ad, but such a well known script.

[@justinm2697]

That was the anti-smoking ad with the day dying of cancer ad, right? Add to that the grim reaper AIDS ad. That was terrifying.

[@fionanicol8129]

I love how the bugger ad has been described as typically Australian ... considering it was made by Saatchi and Saatchi New Zealand, in New Zealand. 🤭

[@victorialamarque-blair6289]

Fiona Nicol I think lots of our colloquialisms are same & we are ‘cousins’ across the ‘ditch’ plus prob cheaper making ads in NZ. We grew up with the word ‘bugger used in many colourful ways as an adjective or a verb, even a ‘noun’ ! It was the worst swear word our oldies used around us. But we weren’t worse off hearing it as we knew exactly what was meant - lol

[@7575spitfire]

I'm sure that the bugger ad is a New Zealand ad - made by Saatchi & Saatchi in New Zealand for Toyota. I mean does that green country side look Australian..... Nope a Kiwi ad played in Australia for sure.

[@grahamliddy9260]

The irony is that due to the use of the word 'bugger' the ad was almost banned in NZ.

[@soapiesoap5649]

No “we’re not fancy but we’re cheap” any west Aussie’s know what that one is 😂

I was hoping to see the “mamma’s making Kan Tong”, the multiple amazing beer ads (throwing stuff in the lake to come out better, the hot girl and the guy who catapults her into water bc beer, It’s A Big Ad), the Whisker’s ads with the cat and the mouse that tries to distract it, and all the other amazing ads people have commented. Still I enjoyed this video and got a laugh out of my sister who heard me singing along and then joined it.
