Didn't expect to hear Rob Brydon (host of Would I Lie to You) saying "Juice my pants, Mummy, I'm a happy boy" today, but here we are!

[@InquisitiveBaldMan]

Why does the guy look like Simon from inbetweeners?

[@SimbianMinistry]

A very young James Corden popping up in Tango ads from about 10:30

[@RockinDave1]

Knew that was him

[@michelle7480]

A very young James Corden 😂

[@SimbianMinistry]

@@michelle7480 The ad was 1998 - He'd be about 19 or 20 - This was a good 8, maybe 9 yrs before Gavin and Stacey

[@HalfdeadRider]

@@SimbianMinistry He was in Teachers as a student before that.

[@lucylindsay3442]

I saw him -a long- time ago in the stage play of The History Boys.... as a student, guessing 20 years ago...

[@iainsan]

In the UK, some of these ads would only have been shown after 9 pm at night so that little children wouldn;t see them. We call it the 'nine o'clock watershed' and adult TV can only be shown later than that.

[@gtaylor331]

Yes, they are pants, pants are underwear in the UK........pants are not trousers, they are underwear.

[@Jamie_D]

He knows 😅

[@Mohegan13]

Depends where you are though. Here we use pants for both. 🤷‍♂️

[@harrydalgleish8464]

​@Mohegan13, where are you from? Just never heard anyone in the UK call trousers pants obviously not been everywhere though 😂

[@zebedeemadness2672]

@@Mohegan13 How old are you? Pants in the UK are male underwear (like Y-fronts, Shorties, typically not Trunks, Boxers). Younger generations more influenced by US programs etc, maybe using pants for trousers, but a bit confusing to use it for both pants and trousers in the same place.

[@Mohegan13]

@@zebedeemadness2672 42. My parents who are 70 and 67 have always used it for both. As did my grandparents. Just because you don't, doesn't make it true for the whole UK.

[@grampstin9375]

“That man” was James Corden 😂

[@bpdlr]

10:34 that is indeed a young and fulsome James Corden before he got a big head and became a bit of a wanker.

[@mustangtel9265]

Got to be POT NOODLE adverts next. The slag of all snacks....

[@alanbayles1218]

Yep, years ago British ads compared to American ads were a completely different kettle of fish. Some adverts used to have an ongoing storyline that were sometimes better than the soaps!

[@Swayspirit]

The Nescafe romance!

[@GundamGir1]

My favorite advert was actually for 2 different products one was jeans the other condoms, the two adverts amalgamated into one story type advert. Where the guys putting on the jeans getting ready for his date think its levi jeans, the other ones is buying the condoms from the hardware type store from the older gentlemen, and it turns out that's the girls father.

[@andygozzo72]

@@Swayspirit yep, anthony head and...whoever she was!!

[@leroysimon5692]

👍🏾

[@CarlKilgour]

The daz adverts come to mind

[@GundamGir1]

They banned some of the tango adverts, due to happy slapping craze it started in the UK. Especially in schools.

[@HalfdeadRider]

It was on the last video and he mentioned it at the start of this one, also it was only in the UK I think. Also now you say that, it was mainly at school, I remember having it done to me and doing it to others, but don't remember it happening outside school and I was always out and about with all kinds of people.

[@68lyn68]

I thinkvhe already said that at the beginning

[@mattpouard5698]

I think he already said that. Also the Tango adverts were banned in the UK

[@wayne7521]

I remember this too.o.p.

[@zahidshabir4038]

@@HalfdeadRider The reason why the slapping was bad was because you can hurt someone's eardrums by slapping their ears and that hospitalised many people I think from what I saw in a different youtube video

[@comfeycushion7944]

In the UK, Tango has become a byword for anything overly orange in colour !

[@danielandrews36]

I'd forgotten how weird tango adverts were lol you should check out pepperami adverts and the armadillo Dime bar advert

[@andygozzo72]

hehe, yeah 😉

[@charliewilliams3860]

Armadillo! Smooth on the inside, crunchy on the outside! I still quote this surprisingly often 😂😂

[@outofthetrash5925]

Tango used to be the sweetest drink, which is wild when you consider almost every every soft drink had only sugar and more sugar than they do today. Tango today is quite bland. There's a reason they can't afford to advertise as they once did

[@leopoldstotch3524]

@@outofthetrash5925 I almost feel sorry for the younger generation never knowing the true flavour greatness of some of those drinks … if I remember correctly I think Lilt was the first one they went after for sugar , they’ve all gone downhill slowly since

[@user-vb5iu4pi8m]

In stark contrast many of the British public information ads of the 90's about drink driving, HIV, domestic violence etc., were brutal as hell.

[@paulknight5018]

The blackcurrant tango advert was the first HD and use of multiple special FX. It won a lot of awards for advertising.

[@msboomerizzle303]

Haha, James Corden randomly popping up in a Tango ad cracked me up 😂 Tango ads are so freaky but hilarious!

[@LGlifeisgood]

This brings back my childhood in the uk their was crazy funny adverts back then , 80’s are a great time for adverts and music

[@stephenlee5929]

This brings back memories. I'm booking myself back into therapy. 😞

[@speleokeir]

The nerdy guy in his pants (underwear) and glasses is best known as 'Lofty', one of the original characters in long running BBC soap Eastenders.

[@Craig.E]

I'm so glad you finally saw my favourite Tango ad with Ray challenging Sebastian. I used to love Blackcurrant Tango when I was at School

[@cyberash3000]

you should check out the jack Dee and the peter Kay John smiths adverts they are brilliant as well

[@sameebah]

And the "arthouse" Boddingtons ads.

[@outofthetrash5925]

"Av It!"

[@outofthetrash5925]

"Av it!"

[@philjones45]

Try Pot Noodle Slag of Snacks campaign, brilliant

[@davidharvey7015]

You should watch the old Smash mashed potato adverts.

[@narrowboatbb]

Definitely that will do his head in 😂

[@Witchaven]

OMG, yes! I had forgot about them!

[@Si74l0rd]

Carling black label adverts were another good one, the squirrel being my favourite.

[@nigellusby8256]

oh no, the "Old Spice" one was the best ever.

[@delbydoo]

I am besides my self crying with laughter - cannot remember half of these but that Rob Brydon seal was just top Brit stuff......brilliant

[@Kazza_8240]

I'm sure that footage of the killer whale 'playing' with the seal is from The Blue Planet with David Attenborough, I remember being so shocked at that, sometimes they don't even eat them after, they literally just do it for fun.

[@Cattabushi]

check out the peperami adverts JT 🤣 17:15 JT gets tango'd without even drinking it, that face is absolutely the tango face

[@lordcypher7922]

Tango is still around with orange, apple and dark berries. Brings back memories seeing these adverts

[@peterjackson4763]

Mango is current.

[@SteveODonnell]

Don't forget tropical punch.

[@XPLOSIVization]

Still Tango was a complete failure in the 90s, mainly dew to the fact it was actually getting children tipsy because it was "fermenting on store shelves"

[@robertroberts8648]

😂😂😂😂wtf

[@donaldsinclair7762]

Yet they have loads of flavours still out PepsiCo made huge profits so was not a failure even after paying compensation. Thays still sold to this day in Scotland its very popular i love dark berry flavour and 🍏, sure your not thinking of Sunkist?

[@XPLOSIVization]

@@donaldsinclair7762 They relaunched it in 1995, but no im defiantly talking about Still Tango, Britvic was all over the news in 1994 and had to recall 1 million bottles of Still Tango, You can still find articles and a few pre recorded News videos of it to this day

[@applecider7307]

Due not dew.

[@Greenwood4727]

Cadbury's caramel bunny adverts shown in prime time. yeah..

[@speleokeir]

Miriam Margoyles, aka Professor Sprout was the voice of the Cadbury caramel bunny. She also used to work on a phone sex line.🤣🤣🤣

[@charliewilliams3860]

And Cadbury's Flake ads

[@johnmknox]

JT's face made me laugh even more than the original Tango ads lol.

[@yurihuffles]

It wasn't just the slapping. They removed that advert in time and moved away from the slapping becuase kids where copying it slapping people, but then they also had to do the same the one where someone has "ORANGES!" screamed down their ear with (or without) a megaphone. There was even some cases where kids did this so loud that it resulted in people's eardrums being damaged.

[@Agent.Bob58]

The trick with the Tango ads isn't to understand them, just let them wash over you. Try and understand them, and you WILL FAIL😂

[@cmike123]

I would say, the American equivalent was Terry Tate, office linebacker. Those ads were just as wild.

[@clairemarkham3485]

Loving this xx we call our mens' underwear pants xx

[@YeOldeDemon]

Honestly, I lost count how many times I used to come home with red marks on my face from being Tangoed 😂😂😂

[@mauk2861]

Other brilliant advert series you must watch... PG Tips (Chimps) , John Smiths, Benson and Hedges, Smash (robots), Campari (Leonard Rossiter and Joan Collins, Lorraine Chase, Cadbury's, Black Magic, various sweet (candy) ones.

[@AndrewHalliwell]

Len and Joan advertised Chinzano, Lorraine Chase advertised Campari. Totally different products and campaigns

[@ianz9916]

I didn't know Tom Watt did the Tango still advert in his pants. In the UK pants are underwear, what you call pants we call trousers. I used to sit with Tom at the Arsenal matches. I actually sat next to his Mum who was an American.

[@kalasanty433]

British humour is just on some other level

[@conneredgcumbe8513]

still to this day, the thought of happy slapping someone crops up from time to time, lol

[@LucifersTear]

They were the BEST adverts I literally used to WISH for a tango advert to come on TV (no Internet, couldn't just look it up) so at school you'd all be talking about the latest one and those who missed it really missed out! 🤣 Great times!

[@4TheRecord]

You should look at the modern Tango adverts too :D "Tango | The Warden" etc

[@anthonynoblett952]

17.21 jt, YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'VE BEEN TANGOED lmfao the shock 😂😂😂😂

[@Frustratedfool]

The sheer number of British actors that started in a tango ad…

[@Jenny.C1978]

JT's reaction to that last one was priceless 😂 Don't touch it!!! 😮

[@andrewcowan145]

Good to see a young Ralph Ineson pop up in the lemon tango moment. An underrated British actor and voice over artist.

[@jochoy8681]

Just watched it. 😁

[@petersheppard6085]

I remember the one on the White Cliffs of Dover, with Harrier Jump-Jets and the boxing ring ...Epic !!

[@angeladormer6659]

You should definitely try the John Lewis Christmas adverts, old Nescafe Gold Blend ads, and the Aldi ads. We have had some great ones. From the 50s through to the 90s, we had The Oxo Family ads they were iconic. Most of those Tango ads were pap - rubbish.

[@adambrown6573]

Arrr the good ol days when nobody was offended

[@RockinDave1]

Tango adverts were always the highlight of a dull ad break. Still Tango wasn't carbonated, hence the "still" part. I personally can't imagine anything worse than a flat orange soft drink. I think I spotted a young James Corden in one of the adverts there (James and the megaphone "look at me, i'm a mess")

[@adamcampbell5977]

the wellness check you wanted is on james corden who was the host of the late late show from 2015-2023 on CBS

[@danielw8557]

Until today, I’ve watched every one of them, but I do not remember that James Corden was in a tango advertisement lol 😂 JT he was the one that you wanted to check on lol

[@TheSarahlou]

JT I don't understand this advert.... none of us did JT. It was an advertisement that came on the TV and you would actually stop what you were doing and watch because it was absolutely crazy and you just wanted to see wtf was happening 😂😂😂

[@andywrong3247]

Jt i wished they hadn't banned tango adverts because all we hear now in the uk is you've been knifed.

[@Thats_him_with_the_daft_hat]

2:52 "recognise me off the telly? " That was Lofty , from EastEnders (Tom Watts) He later went on to do Football commentary and journalism.

[@jemsjemski533]

Who knew James Corden was in a tango ad!

[@epsilonnebula1842]

These days in the UK Tango is found in places that Pepsi is sold. I'm assuming they are part of the same company now. This probably explains why we don't get good adverts anymore.

[@willdeit6057]

UK adds where some of the funniest around, a lot of time and effort plus real out of the box thinking miss those days.

[@cptcarot]

The chap you wanted to check on was James Corden, a successful actor and talk show host. I didn't realise he advertised the Tango megaphone. LOL

[@baileyboo9751]

I forgot about most of these. I have laughed so much lm actually in pain. Thanks, love.

[@jeanproctor3663]

There's another one they brought out that if I remember rightly, was a larger version of the Still Tango, called Tango With Added Tango. Put the initial letters of those four words together and see what you get...😂

[@Nobby76]

I remember the Pot Noodle adverts have always been a bit odd as well. Might be worth checking those out as too.. I vividly remember the couple of ads that featured the guy behind the desk "If this isnt snacking at at's most intense.. Louis Kick it!" Then promptly blasts "The Ace of spades - MotorHead" And the adverts where they refered to themselves as "The slag of all snacks" @JT Yeah, Fizzy or not fizzy.. Still or Sparkling. And i think it was only 4 flavours. Orange, Apple, Lemon and BlackCurrant. Incidentally, Jim, the black guy who appears i nthe big yellow hat and says "It's a lemon tango moment" He is saying it in a REALLY over done Birmingham accent (although you get many accents, within birmingham itself) this one is closer to the Dudley accent, which is in the west side of birmingham. But they all have that same sort of sound to them. On the Tango Megaphone advert. 1 it was James Corden. 2 did you notice at the bottom, what the message said in regards to the number "Bill payer will be stung for £2.99 so ask nicely"

[@JohnImrie]

Black guy from Dudly, that has to be Leny Henry

[@jameslacey7005]

When jt said get a wellness check on that man 😅 that man is james cordon lol

[@janetburrows137]

I'm not telling Porkies , I have NEVER seen any one of these TANGO ADDS But that said; You really need to watch the Marmite Adds! Again, I've never seen these ads on my TV, either??? But Natasha and Debbie's show played them. Have a look for them, Again I've lived in the UK 🇬🇧 all my life: I have too admit, I've NEVER SEEN ANY OF THESE, EITHER, myself is a HATER, JUST TOO GET THE BALL ROLLING, 🤮

[@tony1kenobi929]

Ahaha thanks for sharing this, I grew up in the 90s and remember the Tango adverts well, but don't remember seeing the vast majority of these. IMO 90's was peak humanity, everything's gone downhill ever since

[@JustChrisWillDoTa]

Seeing these adverts again is so nostalgic. They used to seem normal at the time to me, but now I wonder if they aren't just a bit peculiar.

[@Graytail]

06:35 if you're wondering, they're at the white cliffs of Dover, closest spot on the british coast to France

[@British89]

Whats crazy is the fact i can remember a lot more of these crazy adverts than i do the boring ads we have today, The whole point was for that reason, Make it crazy enough for people to talk about it and thus the message spreads like wildfire.

[@danielw8557]

Juice my pants, mummy I’ve been a happy boy lol 😂 great episode

[@dsangster93]

The thing about the majority of these Tango adverts is that they were made in the 90's and a lot of 90's adverts in Britain were quite frankly deranged.

[@themoderntemplar1567]

I forgot about most of them, hilarious to see your reaction JT, especially seeing as you're not an eccentric from a very peculiar group of little islands where funny is weird and weird is wonderful.😲😂😂😂

[@Caredroia]

*WOW, So many British Icons; John Culshaw (impressionist doing the Obi-Wan voice as the dangly tongue bit with glasses), Rob Brydon (Juice my pants), Hugh Dennis (one of the commentators with Ralph). If you think I missed James Cordan, then your wrong, he was/is/never will be an Icon!*
