When my eldest daughter was a child (1983 ish) we used to dread this advert coming on as she was nodding off to sleep as she would wake up to the music, then take HOURS to go back to sleep.
Exactly, one of those phrases which people of a certain age just know: "It's too orangey for crows". Similar to "The water in Majorca"! for sticking in your head
You must live in Ireland since they decided to stop selling it in the rest of the UK in 2019. I completely forgot about Kia Ora (a staple in my 80s household). But since Coca cola acquired them, I'd rather not buy.
This advert was always shown in cinemas just as the adverts were finishing for the intermission (when the curtain came down), before the main movie started or the short movie was shown. Back when they came around with a tray of popcorn, sweets and plastic cartons of Kia-Ora and Um Bongo. Good times!
I always thought more specifically of Harmon-Ising's 1930s Happy Harmonies and Silly Symphonies. Just missing the bipedal cow playing the mandolin and wearing a grass skirt.
Oh man, what an advert. The nostalgia is strong with this one. Maybe the most memorable from my childhood.🤔 Well, this, shake n vac, the Levi ad, that Wrigley chewing gum ad with frees alright now playing, and that scotch tape advert with the skeleton. 😂
The background music was written and performed by Michael B Tretow. The name may not ring a bell ... but he was ABBA's producer! He co-wrote and performed this with Swedish singe Ted Gardestad and together they were known as Caramba. They released an album together with a different version of this song.
I remember the song, I think it was a minor hit in the UK. I posted about it on another UA-cam video of this commercial and no-one else remembered it and thought I had made it up :)
@@Jojoseahorse The song is called Fedora (I'll Be Your Dawg) by Caramba, it was released in 1983 and there's even a 12" extended version Caramba released in, The UK.
@@philiphubbard6234 Thank you, knew I didn't imagine it! The commercial was cute :) And interesting to hear about Caramba; I remember Ted Gardestad representing Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest, just as Abba did.
@@Jojoseahorse Fedora (I'll be your Dawg) got to 56 in The UK Chart's, also another Caramba song called, Hubba Hubba Zoot Zoot was used by, Quakers Harvest Crunch cereal advert in The UK, changing the song to, Hubba Hubba Yum Yum.
I'm old enough to remember this advert - loved the reference to this in the comedy series Spaced, Episode 'Gone', Series 2: "It's too Orangey for crows!"
Weirdest thing about this ad is that it was for Britain and Ireland and we never understood these stereotypes. To us, they were just acting funny. We never even knew that it was a stereotype. Americans would have known and probably kicked off, even in the 80s. But we never even knew about, "mammy" or "dog" or the other bits in here.
A similar thing happened in Japan in the 80s. There were a lot of characters themed around racist imagery from American media. The reason these existed, was due to a lack of understanding, not realising the context of why these characters. While there was some media considered racist in the UK, a lot of the ideas from the US made no sense to us. Like how many people would realise one of the crows was based/ on the mammy character and understood the context of it
The 'mammy' reminded me of the 'mammy' character from old Tom and Jerry cartoons (who I thought was the owner of the house) and that's about it. Today I know it's got all sorts of problems with it, but I can't help enjoying it as 'kid takes a stroll in the sun, trailed by a bunch of birds desperate for a taste of orange squash'.
Like, I get the child is literally the hex color #000000, but the big red lips that usually accompany that stereotype aren’t there, so it would probably be fine? It’s definitely well-animated
What a great advert, everyone loved this when I was a kid. Think it came out about 1985 and I saved the promo tokens and sent off for the pencil case with all the characters on.
+DrunkenMaster Yeah, the crows from Dumbo are racist too, something that has been talked about time and again. So doesn't really help Kia-Ora's case if they knew about them and based their commercial off of them.
@@roberttysec4122 Why racist? If they had black voices for dumb pigeons would that be better, or must black people always be portrayed as saints to please you?
Apparently Disney have labelled the black crows on Dumbo as racist, saying the lead crow(John crow) refers to racist segregation laws in the southern US. So any of you BLM bunnies who get off on something as innocent as Dumbo, get a life, get real, get treatment.
It's weird that this ad was made for the UK and Ireland because most of these stereotypes would be unfamiliar. I never made the connection to black Americans at the time because terms like 'crow', 'mammy', 'dog' etc. were not familiar to us
@Jarvo Tunes BLM even take offence at positive things. For example, singing "Sweet Chariot" is considered by them to be racist because a slave originally sang it. BLM are their own worst enemy.
@Jarvo Tunes hmmmm... slave-esque stereotype from the deep south... Triggered much by someone identifying what is blatantly racist. As I am presuming you are not black/African-American you don't get to call the shots on what is offensive to them.
dbcox2009 You’re probably right. However, BLM aren’t interested in discussion. They play a game whereby anything you say or do can be perceived as racist and everyone (from both sides) comes off badly. Therefore, in the words of War Games: "the only winning move is not to play."
I've been wondering what this was for over 20 years because of the show spaced with Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes. One of the episodes they make a reference for to Orange for crows and I never understood that back then. I just remembered oh yeah the internet exists now I can look that s*** up lol
This advert came on every UK Cinema Commercial for years, Just before those Hot Dogs that had around 10% Meat and the stuff they swept up from the factory floor, Then Popcorn 🍿 A large box was as big as a Small Suitcase.
"The ad is what Uncle Remus's fever hallucinations look like. It's what Aunt Jemima sees when she drops peyote." But I admit, I want some orange juice now. Made by a different company.
Yeah, or maybe just leave it in the archives where it'll cause less trouble. Seen only by people actively searching for it, rather than shoved in the faces of those who will be offended. Yawn, I know!
this was shown every time at the cinema i went to in quinton as a child.brings back many happy memories for me.especialy when that big white bag bursts open revieling the underwear wich always made me and loads of other kids in audience giggle big time!
The version on Caramba is a different mix The one used in the Kia-Ora add is the vocal version featuring members of ABBA. Michael Tretow their producer worked on several other projects in the ABBA studio and a few had members of ABBA doing backing vocals ua-cam.com/video/3p7hEZpHgbA/v-deo.html
@@stuartgoswell1193 I have been a fan of ABBA years. They worked hard in the studio but also had fun trying out different things Bjorn wrote none sense lyrics to use until he composed the proper ones while in the studio Michael often messed about trying out different things. Some of these turned into the weird tunes like this. He recorded the barking dogs and on another tune he used different engine sounds I have it for my ringtone. ua-cam.com/video/w-I-u3FuDyI/v-deo.html Must of been great fun in the studio I wish they would release some of the tapes made but Benny is very reluctant to allow it. There are several books that tell of these sessions
As a kid growing up in the eighties I feel i must point out that rather than being racist this advert actually glamourised being black for some kids . Its a fact that every white kid in the eighties wanted to be black. Hell I wanted to be jamaican cos of the cool reggae music and my dads mate was jamaican. I thought the crows in this ad were awesome because they looked like rude boys, all of them in suits and with cool lay'd back attitudes they reminded me of the Ska and Raggae bands I loved
I'm as white as a sheet. But these guys were cool as fuck. I dint give a shit what colour they were. As a kid it was obvious what personality they were portraying. They didn't disguise it. And they didn't make it negative. It was cool.... Well I think it was. I would take it as a compliment if someone needed my looks and personilty to make money....but I ain't as cool as them mo fo crows 😂😂
I was just thinking about how it made me feel as a kid because it was on the TV all the time and i don’t know if it was my age but I literally didn’t associate it with a different race I just saw a little kid with loads of cool mates following him. I hope no one takes offence from my words. (This is my husband’s profile btw)
I remember this advert. I loved it. It was super cool. Perhaps it has some stereo-typical imagery, but as a kid at the time, this advert just seemed awesome. If anything it helped a white kid like me see how fashionable a pork-pie hat was & how steel drum had such a great sound. I dont see how this advert can be negative, it has such a party atmosphere & just good times!
Yer I get what you are saying as they are having a good time and it seems positives. Just like when I was a kid, I didn't have a problem with Thomas's owner from Tom and Jerry. But when you find out she's based on the slave character mummy from Gone with the Wind, then you can't help be feel glad she's been replaced. Stereotypes themselves aren't that bad but racist stereotypes are, no matter how happy and upbeat it seems. I'm glad you've taken positive things away from this but it is racist and you wouldn't subject a child nowadays to this sort of material, well at least I wouldn't and I hope most people wouldn't to 🖤
@@LouFriend you took the words out a black mans mouth. thankyou. this comment shows that not all who are white are wrong. something i thing needs highlighting in these times.....how times have changed eh?

Makes me think now that the UK has always been a strange place to live when it comes to racial attitudes. It's still not the same hot potato that it is in America, but unfortunately it still exists here .
People moan if it's racist to blacks and others,but when it's whites we just get on with it,I mean this advert isn't meant to be racist,if I was black I would be enjoying the video!
i just love that we all think @spaced@ and not some racist stuff. honestly, if this comments section is an accurate cross section of Britain, then long rule Britannia.
Thanks for the clarification. I was aware of the apartheid-style segregation laws in the USA, but I didn't know what they were called. The disconnect probably comes from our experience as black British people being very different from that of African-Americans (I'm not saying that no black British person would know about the Jim Crow laws, just that they don't form a part of our history and culture).
Watched this 10 times in a row now. Replayed the first 20 seconds 20 times. 0_0 this music is hypnotizing. Now I find you can keep pressing 1, to make your own beat. This advert has got me hooked now. If only there weren't negative overtones to it......

Kia Ora: yes
Whisper ‘Kia-ora’ in someone’s ear in the morning and they’ll still be singing it in the evening!!
This advert is an awesome blast back to my childhood.
I used to work at the Kia-Ora factory in Bermondsey, and go out to deliver to cinemas on the vans.
Why did they stop making it . It was the best orange ever
Bermondsey boy, nice. :)
Did you get any orders from crows??
Donna Gibson
Still make it in Ireland apparently.
I bet you have seen a change around bermo since the Kia ora days
This goes with the Umbongo ad and the Vitalite ad. Oh the days of much better, actually entertaining adverts.
They drink it in the Congo.
Was literally think about the vitalite ad after watching this then read this comment

"Drink it then convert it to pee!"
Great advert.
Love the barking dogs "I'll be your dog" lol
Being from the UK Explains why the animation is so great.
To this day i STILL use the phrase "i'll be your dog"
Sign of a good advert that.
Or maybe you’re into kinky stuff
Lol reminds me of the Iggy Pop song “An’ I Wanna Be Your Dog” ..
Love the kiaora
Well this CRACKED me up.
Bet they are hoping this ad doesn’t resurface lol 😂
"arf-er-arf-arf-er-arf-arf-arf" I'll be your dog!
I used to get up and reinact all of these singing birds.
Jam spoons would have a field day with this these days.
anyone else reading The animator's survival kit?
People moan if it's racist to blacks and others,but when it's whites we just get on with it,I mean this advert isn't meant to be racist,if I was black I would be enjoying the video!
please bring this back
If they did there’d be carnage.
i just love that we all think @spaced@ and not some racist stuff.
honestly, if this comments section is an accurate cross section of Britain, then long rule Britannia.
Can you imagine this in the 21st century...Twitter will have a meltdown!
Hahaha they do would! Everyone would be sacked
I know right??!!
Twitter's a far left cesspit with overzealous moderators.
But it would be glorious to watch!
Hahaha put it on there.
They don’t make ‘em like they used to 😔
No spirit left in them
I don't think they're allowed to.
This video is eleven years old in less than two months.
*just let that sink in*
Older than that
Endless childhood summers.
Thanks for the clarification. I was aware of the apartheid-style segregation laws in the USA, but I didn't know what they were called.
The disconnect probably comes from our experience as black British people being very different from that of African-Americans (I'm not saying that no black British person would know about the Jim Crow laws, just that they don't form a part of our history and culture).
It's too orangey for crows. It's just for me and my dawg.
I'll be your dog woof woof woof woof
Great memories 🤣🤣🤣growing up in the 1980s with this 🤣🤣🤣
Watched this 10 times in a row now. Replayed the first 20 seconds 20 times.
0_0 this music is hypnotizing.
Now I find you can keep pressing 1, to make your own beat. This advert has got me hooked now. If only there weren't negative overtones to it......
"you shouldn't look to deep into it"
Something I'm sure you excel at.
