  • is this banned i seen it on my tv b4 lol

  • Girders or. . . garters? FAAAART. Anyway I searched it up over the internet & apparently just the shaving bit got banned. Ummm--shaving bits. But I still don't get why; (many) womens DO shave their legs. This one had just not got round to do it for a minute. It's not like she ends it having a Brazilian wax. . . although women do that, too. . . best not think about it.

  • Man, i remember this advert from years ago and i swear i was the only who saw it, classic !

  • Banned? no.

    

  • LOL <|D

  • How many of these "banned" ads on YouTube were actually banned?

  • @TBTabby This actually was.

  • Surprisingly Irn Bru is available here in the US in Amazon's subscribe and save program. You can have it delivered to you on a monthly basis! (doesn't have to be every month - I get mine every 3 months)

  • @meleagrisfelis fancy meeting you here....

    i thought it was illegal in the US because caffeinated drinks have to be caramel/black?

  • @gratex I think it used to be and you had to have it shipped from the UK or Canada by shippers who weren't too picky about what they shipped where. I was surprised when it showed up on Amazon, but now I can get my fix.

  • @gratex - No, it's Canada which demands that caffeinated drinks be dark-coloured. This means that the Canadian version of Mountain Dew (a neon-yellow-coloured lemon-lime soda pop) is caffeine-free, while the original American version has more caffeine in it than cola drinks do. Kids in the USA have even wound up in the hospital due to excessive consumption of Mountain Dew.

  • @OofusTwillip Are you sure? When I visited Canada, the Red Bull there had the same color as Mountain Dew.

  • @JohnWoo - Ah, that's because Red Bull is an energy drink, not a soda pop.

    For the past couple of years, Health Canada (the Canadian equivalent of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration) has been studying energy drinks and whether or not to consider them to be in the same class as vitamin supplements, which would then require each one to be thoroughly tested and assigned a unique identifier number. The main concern is the number of kids who frequently consume multiple energy drinks.

  • Irn Bru is best in the morning after a night of Bucky and Benylin

  • Is that a young Imelda Staunton at the piano?? Who knew Professor Umbridge had musical talent!

  • I don't recall this ad ever being banned. It was shown in full length for years.

  • I could go for some Bru right now...

  • thats hilarious

  • LMAO

  • why was it banned?

  • @thesmithsmad - Some people thought it was offensive to transgenders/transvestites but Advertising Standards everything up until the woman shaving was okay. So this full ad is banned but everything up until 0:24 can and has been shown on TV.

  • I'm from England and... I LOVE IRN BRU!

  • So that was him/her/it who left the toilet seat up..

  • I'm English, and I LOVE IRN BRU.

    I also love the idea of some fat, bloated corporate Texan rolling up into Glasgow and saying "How many truck loads off Cocal Cola would y'all like to buy this week?"

    "None mate, we're drinking pop made out of girders, now fuck off."

  • @leapoffaith20 its also made in the British Isles and oh you dont have a majority market here lol

  • @bradleybooth95

    You mean they're really just men with breast implants and a mutilated penis'? Damn!

  • Four people used to be a man.

  • why was this banned...

  • The only country in the WHOLE world that does not have coca cola as the number 1 selling soft drink is Scotland.

  • @sadfuk

    Scotland AND Russia!

  • Im english, and find irn bru the best drink ever?

  • "even though i used to be a man" LOL

  • *DEAD* 

  • @dessertraider91 lol chad

  • It is so ridiculous that some tiny minded humourless people got this ad banned. Was by far one of the funniest ads out Therese the time. People should stop taking themselves so seriously

  • whyy was this banned ???

    i think i kinda missed the point

    explain wise youtube trolls

  • @EPICnonsence

    Ok sir, let me google that for you.

    According to google, ofcom banned this advert because it received 17 complaints, some from transsexuals, that the advert portrays a negative image of transsexuals, ofcom ruled in favour of the complaints, mainly due to the look of horror on the families faces when hearing this and the shaving scene at the end reinforcing stereotypes.

    Although I find it ridiculous that in a country of millions, 17 people got something banned.

  • @SpinDizzyMR I don't get how it portrays a negative image either...

  • @SpinDizzyMR

    I kind of agree though, I mean, it makes you feel like shit about yourself if you're a transperson and that's how a family reacts to being told. Plus, if she was trans, A. she wouldn't hve to shave, B. she couldn't hve kids. BUT WHATEVZIEZ.

  • @EPICnonsence People complained because they did not like Irn-Bru so it was misleading because not everyone loves it.

  • So...Why isn't there a movie about this family?

  • The best part about this ad is the dad's pained and exasperated facial expression at the end, hahaha. Classic.

  • Can someone please explain WHY this has gone "too far". It's just damned funny! Lighten up people, it's called humour!

  • i can see why it was banned. too far irn bru, too far

  • thumbs up if you thinks irn bru is the greatest

  • I'm here because of Brad Tries. I think I should try this stuff out if I can find it.

  • I'm American but i lived in Scotland for a year and was introduced to that amazing orange drink. It got me through many an all nightersXD

  • Iron Bru, if you are not mainly enough for it, it gives you a sex change!

  • IRN BRU IS THE BEST DRINK EVER!

  • I remember this...why was it banned

  • It was banned cause it was deemed offensive to trans-sexuals. Even though it's not meant to be. It makes fun of the changing times and how uptight 1950s society was. That the family are deemed to be 'perfect' and 'normal' when infact it turns out they have some very interesting secrets (or atleast one big one). The humour is derived from the oxymoron. Rather than just a 'lol she used to be a man, thats funny' cause it just wouldn't be in its own right. So no. Not offensive.

  • @BobbyJenkins And this is coming from a member of the GLBT community

  • @BobbyJenkins Is it not LGBT?

  • apparently irn bru gives ye diabetes :\

  • it was banned because it was english people that advertised THE BRU.

  • what the... i dont even....?

  • Why on earth did this get banned? What sort of person finds this offensive?

  • Not a great commercial, but offensive? No.

  • I always wondered what happened to this advert, use to crack me up!

  • Dangerous stuff - more addictive than alcohol.

    Worse thing is that the two go together.

    Get drunk - then sober up with Irn Bru.

  • @jazzx251 Amateur!! A splash of Irn Bru in yer Bell's means you never have a hangover!

  • I love irn bru!! I can drink a full 2 litre bottle a day if I wanted to, and I dont drink much anyway ;D Why do they bother making mini bottles anyway??

  • I can see why it was banned

  • why is this banned lol ? it isn't racist... it isn't even sexist xD

  • I loved the Ad but i must say my fave is the Christmas ad its so funny and i love and am proud to be SCOTTISH xoxo

  • Love irn bru but it's all about tizer

  • This is a hoot.

    Funny as hell.

  • That ad is not banned, it was screened on TV

  • @andygoodyear yes, before it was banned.

  • i´m from austria , but this summer and lust summer , i was in scotland .

  • @ProoVookacija What part of Scotland did you go to? Over here we are the Best known for stabbing a man for buying Diet Irn Bru!

  • This advert was NOT banned. It was shown many times on STV.

  • @Glasgowprince yes thats because you saw it before it WAS banned, donkey.

  • @denholm10 it was shown in January 2011. Check your facts before you engage your gob kiddo. Have a nice day.

  • @Glasgowprince what tv station?

  • Scotland is the only country where Coke is not the top selling soft drink. Coke want to buy out Irn Bru. Coke can go take a long walk off a short pier!

  • @taggysmum

    They may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!

    Och! Mel Gibson forever, mon!

  • Irn Bru always do awesome ads

  • Brilliant advert. I've never seen it on tv though. It should be.

  • thumbs up if u were drinking irn bru wen waching this

  • This ad was not banned, seen it on tv loads of times.

  • Why was this ad banned for focks sake!!! lol

  • We have it in nz a mate from glasgow put me onto it!!!!

  • I'm so glad some Americans love Irn Bru, most people from England think us, Scottish people, are silly for drinking Irn Bru. half my English friends say "It looks like pee so no way" when pee isn't orange, well mines isn't? But I'm soooooo glad people from all over the world love it!

  • @jennydunnYEAH OI im english i fucking FUCKING LOVE irn bru!

  • @123chevez456 I did say most xD.

  • @jennydunnYEAH I'm Englush and Irn Bru is awesome!!

  • canada loves irn bru!

  • @jennydunnYEAH It is when u take anti-biotics lol 

  • @jennydunnYEAH thats your first problem, you have "english" friends, do you guys sit around and talk about how their ancestors raped murdered and opressed yours for 700 years?

  • @joeblow238 That's the past. I don't think what happened in the past should effect my relationship with english people..

  • @jennydunnYEAH I'm from the south of england and Ican't live without Irn Bru xD I have a 2litre obttle of it everyday :L all my friends say I have an addiction :L

  • @jennydunnYEAH Heck yah! I am weighting for Krogers or Walmart of start selling Irn-Bru. I ordered a 12 pack on the web and I have to say, it hands down tops Coke, Pepsi, and Dr. Pepper in terms of a good drink. It reminds me of going to a fast food joint and mixing six different soft drinks together, only somehow, still managing to seem like a normal drink. It just goes to show that Scotland is the King of good drinks. (Examples, Scotch, Grog, and now, Irn-Bru.)

  • @jennydunnYEAH excuse me, I am English and Irn Bru is lush. I prefer Dr Pepper but that's just personal taste. Irn Bru looks nothing like pee. Beer does and I bet they can drink that all day.

  • @jennydunnYEAH i love it and i'm english

  • @jennydunnYEAH i love the taste o irn bru and im english. that said urines got a tang of its own

  • @jennydunnYEAH  i love the taste of irn bru and im english. that said urines got a tang of its own

  • @jennydunnYEAH At least you can buy it in England. I've been working down here for the past 6 months and its been available in every super market. There were loads of those new "seaside picture postcard" adverts all over Manchester and Liverpool too. So some of the English at least must love the taste (along with ruining their teeth and insides LOL). Is Irn Bru sold anywhere other than Scotland and England come to think of it? The whole world should be allowed to experience it in my opinion :-D

  • @Genius83 I'm not sure if its sold anywhere else, but I totally agree with you :).

  • @jennydunnYEAH Its sold in Canada, Finland, Australia, Germany, Holland, GB, Ireland, Greece, The Middle East, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Spain, Sweden, Singapore, Portugal and The US.

  • @jennydunnYEAH Having been in Russia, & not recently at that, I was there in y2000. So it'll be available just about anywhere. Though probably not in N Korea,apart from the president's palace {:-^|

  • @jennydunnYEAH I'd be quite worried if my pee was the colour of Irn Bru! Maybe you should suggest they see a doctor...

  • Never seen this Ad, even though I live in Scotland.

    I tell ya, they don't have theese 'Decent' Irn Bru adverts in England.

  • I love this ad, I remember laughing at this whenever it appeared! Kinda shocked to find out this was banned... Anyways, peace to Scotland! (I'm a Londoner :-P)

  • HAHAAHAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Classic!

  • I'm an American and I love Irn-Bru! :)

  • @VampireEyes

    I love to here that from americans as Iam scottish :D

  • @SophiePatterson Here's another American that loves the stuff! SO GLAD our local grocery chain started carrying it!

  • Magnificent!

  • I love and support Trannies. BUT ANYBODY CAN GO TO HELL, if they think they are SO precious to pick-on such a simple, non-offensive spot of humour. Banning/ censorship, is disgusting, a great evil in our world, and anybody who supports ANY censorship is an enemy of ALL people and humanity itself.

  • @persianprincessacu fuck trannies

  • Is that Imelda Staunton?

  • Wasn't banned. Liar.

  • @sugarydonkey Was banned.

  • @ksmxx No it wasn't.

  • It would be even funnier if she sang "even though I used to be a man" in a DEEP VOICE lol

  • @anxresi it would wouldn't it

  • @anxresi No, it wouldn't, because that would defeat the joke.

  • @sugarydonkey You just don't understand sophisticated humour do you, saccharin mule (sigh)

  • yay

  • It was on every add break from Christmas

    'till bloody Easter. ! Much prefered the Goth holiday one and they did a poster campaign with a picture of a couple hugging and along the bottom it said " Isobel only loved two things: Irn-Bru and Dick". Made me laugh.

  • it wasnt banned it was on for ages

  • Please provide evidence that this was banned.

  • i think ofcom could have just made sure it wasn't shown during children's tv...banning it is a bit much

  • haha this is amazing! it should have never been banned!!

  • I dont understand why this was banned ?

  • the people who complained probably sit in front of their tv all day, with Ofcom on speed dial.

  • lol why was it banned ??
