  • Butter commercials in the early 1980's were fairly routine affairs usually depicting a housewife and the preparation of a sandwich. That all ended when Aardman animated butter-man Douglas came along in 1986.
    Check out virtually all of his on-screen appearances (excepting the full versions of 3 of the very-rare Olympics 1992 series), right from the early musical numbers, through to the Penelope Keith narrated ones from the mid-nineties/early noughties.
    The audio has been cleaned up where possible and there's even a couple of adverts here that you'll struggle to find elsewhere.

    I'm from a little south american country called Chile and yesterday i went to my local fleamarket and i found a mug with this little guy on it, i thought he looked kind of funny so i bought it and i'm drinking tea out of it right now as i'm googling about the brand and getting to see the ads. It's such a weird but fascinating experience, i love my little lurpak guy mug even more now ❤

    I loved the original advert when I was 6-7 and I really thought Douglas was made from Lurpak.. I even wanted to make him myself when I we had Lurpak in the fridge and imagine the disappointment when my mum and dad told me he wasn't really made from Lurpak!

    • @WilmsterUK
      @WilmsterUK  7 років тому +4

      One of them was from the Douglas VHS that came out in 1994 which I had converted to digital. I then did a bit of audio trickery to remove a voiceover and clean up the mono sound. I also digitally extended the end of advert so it didn't cut off abruptly like the VHS. The other full was one was found by typing '1992 adverts' in to UA-cam and manually hunting through hours of video waiting to strike it lucky which I did on one occasion.

      Sorry I converted it years ago (it was called Douglas Caught On Video if you fancy popping on eBay) and stripped out the linking material. The full video used to be on YT but it doesn't seem to be anymore - you can see a snippet here: ua-cam.com/video/_T39gh6SkVM/v-deo.html

    • @WilmsterUK
      @WilmsterUK  4 роки тому +2

      Personally I think that particular song is just a generalism of the era, rather than a direct ape. They made quite a point (on the Douglas VHS) of pointing out that the next advert was directly referencing 'The Leader Of The Pack', but didn't make any suggestion on the music for ads 2 and 3.

    • @9thfloorchaos
      @9thfloorchaos 4 роки тому +1

      @@WilmsterUK I figured it was a general pastiche rather than an adaptation because I would have likely recognized the melody if they were parodying a specific song. Thanks for clarifying.
