@kayerk No man. Snoop Dogg and Dave took their terrible tune from Felix "Don't You Want Me" (the track used here). Sampling's one thing but that was a straight up rip off.
@burningled@djhabibi04 and @garyboylec I was being having a joke. I fucking hate Snoop Dogg (or Snoop or Snoop Doggy Dogg or Snoopy or whatever he is calling himself these days.)
The problem is that the advert is too brilliant for too many of its audience. Whoever takes this as a straight piece of jingoism is imperceptive as a dullard. What makes the advert hilariously funny is that a relatively mild piece of criticism from poor Sebastian provokes "Ray" to stand on the cliffs of Dover, threatening to take the world on in his purple boxing shorts, with three Harrier jump jets hovering in the background. Unless Sebastian was a pork pie Ray is likely to lose any fight.
@sorceroruk Agreed - the way it starts all corporate and even-handed corporate-style makes the 20-ish second 'our great nation', and the ' you're an exchange student...' take a harsher twist and shows them up as being completely out of all proportion, it is great great parody.
The really frightening thing for me now, about this advert is that when I first saw it, I thought he was about 50! Now, I think he looks like he is in his late 20's and I might actually be older than him.
NO!! I wanna to kill myself!!!!! Well, at least I still don't have to wear a bra, like he should.
That was one of the strangest adverts. Fat and very gay looking, middle aged man, complete with massive sagging boobs wants to take on Johnny Foreigner. Weird advert. What is he like? Very kinky I suppose?
@footlappen the only camera trick was when he walks behind the truck, thats where they cut from the car park, to the cliff edge, and yes it was shot on the white cliffs of dover about 5 miles from dover a helicopter filmed from above as well as on the ground
i was in that advert! :O it was shot in kent, in like '93 or something, i was about 6 or 7 i think, we had to run up and down that hill all fucking day and i think i got £30 for it :[
your Lucky i was working for Britvic at the time and they roped me and some work mates in the do it too and they paid us NOTHING Extra ! so we went mental in the hotel that night and ordered loads of food and wine lol Big Bill ha ha ha ha
"What are your credentials Sebastian ?" Hilarious. In fact the advert was banned at the time, mainly because too many people took it at face value and never got the humour of a fairly mild customer comment resulting in a baying mob backed up by three Harrier jump jets.
Yes this is definitly one of the best adverts ever made, I loved it when it used to be on. As people have already said they would not get away with it now because of the mooronick PC brigade. Come and get us Johnny forienger.
@marmitemania agreed - this is probably one of the best adverts ever put on television and its shame they'd never let anything like this on again thanks to pc nonsense that prevents us from having a sly dig at other nations but doesn't mind when fun is poked out of us as being british!
the harriers at the end is a stroke of genius hehehehehehehe!
lol that was good. i like instead of saying ' oh im sorry please forgive us' its saying ' go to hell! we spent loads of time on making this drink so if you dont like it you can shove it up ur ass!' classic!
I remember this very clever ad. It looks like one seamless shot but you can tell where it cuts if you look very carefully - usually when he goes past door frames or other vertical lines.
I remember this ad. Made me feel proud to be British. Won't show it again though as it is sociably unacceptable because it indicates violence between two countrys. But lets all be honest, we hate the French don't we. COME ON SEBASTIAN !!!!!
aaaaah i used to love this. they'd put it on in the break during tfi friday. great stuff. did anyone ever actually buy any blackcurrant tango though??
thank you so much for uploading this! its by far and away the best advert ever made and i have been telling people about it for years. but now i can at least show people what i am talking about.
COMMON JONNY FRENCH!!!!! yes its a charge to the taste buds, yes its fiesty, yes its got guts.... But so have we NOW GO EAT FROGS LEGS AND OTHER FRENCH SHITE... RAAAA WE OWN YOU ALL!!!! Its a true story.
completely forgot about that advert. That was jokes it certainly lifted the balls of steel authentisity of Tango as a double hard bstard english drink. I t shouldnt be messed with underestimated or ridiculed by bloody foreigners lol
Hey ! If why can can get that motivated ( and I was ) over a can of Blackcurrent Tango.....rest of the world ( you know who you are ) f**king watch out ! ;-)
This swept the board in the advert awards that year. I remember when I first saw it applauding the screen. I even started watching ITV in the hope of seeing it again. The star of it got a guest spot on the TFI show and was very popular. This advert has everything: wit, amazing special effects (it's difficult to see at this resolution that it snows at one point), grand sweep, and a dig at the French. Perfect.
What a classic - had this in my mind today, and I thought - "some public-spirited person would have put that on the 'tube" and I wasn't disappointed - thank you very much!
Nowadays we have to deal with the Go Compare singer or a bunch of stupid meerkats.... dark times we live in....
