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! :)

The Chef on the front of Chef Boyardee was a real person. His name was actually Boiardi, and he became well known for making up meal kits during World War 2 and putting them into army food packages. Eventually he made a business of it, and he spelled his name Boyardee on the can so that people could pronounce it.

[@evan]

Amazing fact!

Y’all missing out on the next generation of Capri Sun ads after the liquid cool ones, which their entire concept was I guess kids were getting in trouble for blowing them up into little balloons and stepping on them or smashing them into the table to pop them so there was an entire series of ads telling you to RESPECT THE POUCH or else YOU’D explode. It was an ad for caprisun and a safety statement in one.

[@teresaanya]

Literally thats all i thought of this whole video. I'm so glad someone else remembers that shit

[@tcshack701]

The song in the dog flea commercial was based on a song called Camp Granada, by Alan Sherman in 1963. The musical selection he used a segment from “Dance of the Hours” by classical composer Ponchilie. For anyone familiar with Disney’s Fantasia, they had used it in the hippo/gator, ballet sequence.

[@enbywithcats]

“Not sorry, Reese’s.” “J. G. WENTWORTH 877-CASH-NOW” “Juicy juice” “Chuck E. Cheese, where a kid can be a kid” “IF YOU OR A LOVED ONE HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH MESOTHELIOMA YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO FINANCIAL COMPENSATION” Not a quote, but jake from State Farm I totally forgot their slogan, but the wubble bubble ball Shoot I know there’s more but that’s what I got for now
