"Fanny" became British slang for the female southern-district sometime in the 17th and 18th centuries as a derivation of "Veneris" - meaning "of Venus." John Cleland wrote a satirical and erotic novel in 1748 called "Fanny Hill" - the full name being a pun on "Mound of Venus".

We in the UK love an advert that tells a story. One that just shouts "Here's our product that you need to buy!" is just so boring! One of the most well loved ad campaigns was the Gold Blend Coffee series that ran from 1987 - 1993. It was like a mini soap opera about a couple who met when she called round to her new neighbour to borrow some coffee for a dinner party, and then we see them gradually get to know each other through a sequence of coffee based moments - the sexual chemistry is high, but they never quite get it together (until the last ad in the series where they drive into the sunset together). They were so popular that, by the end, TV listings would flag up when a new ad was about to drop! They starred actors Anthony Head and Sharon Maughan. There are lots of YT videos of these ads.

Adverts don't make you leap up and buy the product that instant. But they give the product a personality, an aura of emotions around it that make it appeal to its target audience. (Which may or may not include you.) Irn-Bru spends millions a year maintaining its cheeky Scottish image. The more similar the products, the more important advertising is in separating them from each other. Take energy drinks -- Red Bull and Monster will both give you a caffeine hit, but somebody who drinks one wouldn't be caught dead with the other.

@@robertadavies4236 I don't know about that, I know people who will drink both, BUT I remember when I first saw Red Bull as a teenager, I thought it was alcoholic, since that was the only way the exorbitant price would of made sense. 250ml can cost more than a 330ml can of any fizzy drink (Coke/Tango etc) Like more than 2x the price.

I'm a proud scot and bru is our national drink lol. Cures everything 😅. Their ads are epic xxxx

[@tonywalton1464]

Apart from its, er, anatomical meaning, Fanny is a completely normal name in the UK. It's a diminutive of Frances.

[@Welcometotherox]

Well, I wouldn't say it would be considered normal these days. It would be seen as incredibly weird and old fashioned. But if you go back 50+ years ago, yes.

[@karenjakobsen3607]

Many of the bill poster adverts are hilarious too.

[@GRUMPYdad87]

Marmite adverts are funnier IMO, give them a go

Ok, I'm waiting for the Christmas ones now.

[@larryjimbob]

There's lots of great British adverts from the 80's and 90's Steve.

[@reactingtomyroots]

I've definitely enjoyed the ones I've seen so far.

[@danielstembridge7376]

Great video guys i hadn't seen most of those adverts 😂❤😊

[@faithpearlgenied-a5517]

Please check out a Marmite ad compilation! 😅

[@karenm3822]

Christmas adverts are the best

[@stephenkelly1887]

It's fizzy, It's ginger, It's phenomenal. In Scotland, we call all fizzy drinks 'Ginger'. Kind of generic thing. We also used to be able to return glass bottles for a deposit refund. We call them 'gingies'. In the summer holidays, we used to go round the factories in the industrial estate collecting them. We made a fortune!

[@stephenkelly1887]

That wasn't yesterday! Almost 50 years ago.

[@andy70d35]

No, we don't call ALL fizzy drinks Ginger, that's only Glasgow I believe. I'm in my 60s, and it has always been just a can of Juice. Or just a can of IRN-Bru, or can of Coke or what ever the drink was.

[@stephenkelly1887]

@@andy70d35 I'm from Glasgow. Most of my friends are from Lanarkshire and my Wife is from Dumfries. They all call it ginger. I agree though. It's a can or bottle of whatever. I don't like fizzy drinks, so It's not an issue for me.

These days people would get offended by a leaf falling and these adverts would bet banned Bloody snowflakes these days

[@lockers3536]

Yes Fanny was definitely a name years ago. In fact there used to ve a very 'early ' tv chef - or cook - called Fanny Craddock. Back in the 60s and 70s. A formidable, scary woman. You should look her up and do a reaction to her! Love this channel guys, keep it up! Oh, and if and when you come to the UK, come to Norwich and Norfolk. I'll show you around, including the beautiful Norfolk Broads!

I record everything I watch and fast forward through the advertisements.
