Also that Barry Scott is literally just known for these adverts. I genuinely thought he was a celebrity I'd never heard of when it first aired. No, just Barry Scott, who ironically is now famous.
The great thing about the Cillit Bang adverts is that Barry Scott would always announce himself in a confident manner as if we were all supposed to know who he was. We weren't. He was a made up celebrity but the fake celebrity had been manufactured so effectively that he genuinely seemed real. Even 'though his voice was overdubbed and grew louder and more assertive as the series of adverts progressed (they also made the lip sync worse as things progressed as well). All the other characters in the adverts were clearly dubbed as well. They were essentially a spoof of bad adverts but done so genuinely and affectionately that it was hard to take offence at them.
He was a lot louder earlier in the advertising campaign. You'd be watching the TV, it'd go to commercial, the first advert will first as you get up to make a coffee or get distracted and do something on your mobile, then suddenly , 'HELLO, I'M BARRY SCOTT.....', which would cause you to jump and reach for the remote to turn the volume down. Or worse still, your watching TV late at night, the rest of the house is asleep then suddenly, 'HELLO, I'M BARRY SCOTT!!!!', making you frantically reach for the remote.
have you ever thought about doing a british vs american: news coverage edition? whenever i see clips of american tv news on shows like last week tonight it seems WILD edit: just got to the bit where you mentioned the british vs american patreon oops lol
The cillit bang advert caused me to have my first word which kinda upset my parents because instead do it being mama or papa I just kept shouting BANG! 😂
The first Cillit Bang ad I remember had a lot more shouting on Barry's part, and he'd say BANG! every time they did the wipe-away demo. It was fast cut and like BANG BANG BANG CILLIT BANG, but he slowed down a bit after a year or two, when they started getting other people on the adverts too - like Linda or Laura or whoever there.
I'm currently living in Munich and it's so hard to make myself speak german to people, everytime I try, they answer back in english because my accent is so terrible 😭 Super excited for wiesn tho, it's my first time going to the real deal, maybe after a couple maß I'll be confident enough to try out more german
Germans usually answer back in english because they use ANY chance to speak it haha it has nothing to do with you accent they just see your imperfect pronanciation as an opportunity to practice ☺️
Just stubbornly persist in German, it's what I do in French/Spanish and even if they don't take the hint, you're still practicing, and they can obviously understand you if they reply. And a tip, if you want to improve your accent, spend some time watching how Germans move their mouths when they pronounce certain sounds and practice doing the same :)
Yay, finaly revamping Patreon! I've been waiting for this. Will have a bit of money to join too) I've waited for such a long time I've got a stable job in a meanwhile
There was a weird advert recently with Arnold Schwarzenegger's head (or a puppet more specifically) on a set of caterpillar tracks who would roll around and yell at people who hadn't sorted their PPI
anyone else remember the advert with the bloke that kept pushing over windows while shouting 'you buy one and you get one free, i said you buy one and you get one free'?
did anyone else watch the video and really hope to see their response in there and get disappointed when it wasn't even when you knew chances were really slim?
Okay in NZ we used to have the exact same ad as the Barry Scott ad, like literally everything the same but it was dubbed over with a more neutral accent and they changed it to "BAM and the dirt is gone" and I'm feeling real weird about hearing the original?
THE FIRST TIME MY QUESTION HAS EVER BEEN IN ANYONE'S Q&A THANKYOU EVAN!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤ Birds and the bees sides is actually my favorite album by Reliant K, how cool
I was in Austria this summer seeing family and went to a football match by myself and was sat next to someone around my age and I was speaking in German with him and wasn't even thinking about it and when I said I'm from Scotland he said that my German was acc very good which surprised me
haha I'm from Walsall. It is an interesting place... It's pronounced War-sul, until uni knocked the edges off my accent a bit people always used to think I'd said Warsaw as in Poland
i watched a few of the other barry scott ads available on youtube and i'll agree, seems pretty similar to the shamwow / slapchop ads, maybe also a bit of the other guy that did a bunch of ads for different products with basically the same ad in front of a fake audience, who was even on friends with Joey supposedly having been in one of the ads as someone that can't open a milk container.
Lieber Evan, ich finde deine Videos sehr interessant. Ich finde es total cool, dass du Deutsch lernst. Das machen nicht besonders viele Englischsprachige Menschen. Und es ist wirklich sehr schön zu sehen, wie viel Spaß es dir macht.
Sometimes I wish I had done German at school instead of Spanish. However, it wasn’t really in my control as my school used to split the year by Spanish and German. We all had to do French though. I found that learning two very similar languages simultaneously was very confusing.
I’ve watching most of your videos lately but then you said 60% of people who watch my videos aren’t subscribed and I was like oh that’s not me then looked I wasn’t subscribed but I am now haha 😂
Can you do a video where you just do lots of ukulele improvs with topics suggested by us? I think that would be very entertaining. Although as I am often asked to improv on the piano I know how difficult it is and it’s a strange suggestion but just thought I’d put it out there.
Walsall is pronounced War-Saul (like Better Call Saul) except without rolling the r, but I guess most UK place names are tricky for Americans so you're close enough :D Also, we don't love the Barry Scott advert, we collectively hate it. We bonded over how terrible yet catchy it was.
That wasn't the ad. It got much bigger and better and louder over time. He got himself his own little rollercoaster and everything
Yeah
And a jet plane

Is this what Peter Serafinowicz is referencing with his character of Derek Bum?
Didn't he get a lil total wipeout course too lol
"HI, I'M A SHOUTY MAN!!!!!"
Horrible histories anyone
YES OMFG
I thought that too!
Weewee!
galaxym00nchild first thing I thought
See for me it's the horrible histories version that made the original iconic. You know you've made it when kids tv series parody you.
genuinely only watched this because i saw reacting to barry scott
Same
I think the ridiculous shout-talking style of the Barry Scott advert just made it hilarious to us. Everyone likes to quote "HI. I'M BARRY SCOTT"
I feel like Barry Scott is the British version of Billy Mayes
Also that Barry Scott is literally just known for these adverts. I genuinely thought he was a celebrity I'd never heard of when it first aired. No, just Barry Scott, who ironically is now famous.
I literally wrote about Barry Scott for my nat5 English folio lmao (got full marks on it too lol)

I commented about this on the advertisement episode with Jay Foreman. Forgot how great it is.
Yayy finally you shall appreciate Barry scott
You watched the wrong barry Scott advert 😭 there is another one which is really funny

You should watch the remix of cillit bang/ Barry Scott. Like so he sees
Lolololol believe me or not but Barry Scott actually asked my mum out on an online dating site, trust me!

Loved your song, I would love to hear more of your music :) x
People used to walk around school or in our classes or to friends and say "HI IM BARRY SCOTT"

It was fast cut and like BANG BANG BANG CILLIT BANG, but he slowed down a bit after a year or two, when they started getting other people on the adverts too - like Linda or Laura or whoever there.
Definitely like Billy Mays and the Kaboom advert
BANG AND THE DIRT IS GONEE
60%!? Wow. Thanks for the Q+A. Nice to know you're doing well :)
If u can't find good fast food, ur not looking hard enough. There are literally takeaways everywhere
Love your videos!
ah thanks! :D
I think people would be really interested in watching you explain your journey with running and fitness, i surely would be!
How do you feel about the uk relaxing the student visa from next year, allowing them to stay in the uk for two years instead of 4 months?
It is not a Sunday without Evan Edinger haha
when are the food songs gonna be on itunes?! there bops
Okay you also need to watch the you’ve been tangoed ad for tango

You will got it. Believe in you.
Germans usually answer back in english because they use ANY chance to speak it haha it has nothing to do with you accent they just see your imperfect pronanciation as an opportunity to practice ☺️
This has happened to me too- the Germans r just too good at English
Just stubbornly persist in German, it's what I do in French/Spanish and even if they don't take the hint, you're still practicing, and they can obviously understand you if they reply.

Love your videos They are very educational
Yay, finaly revamping Patreon! I've been waiting for this. Will have a bit of money to join too)
I've waited for such a long time I've got a stable job in a meanwhile
For me at least, the Cillit bang techno remix was a big part of liking this ad, and was an iconic part of the early 2000s UK internet experience.
Reminds me more of Oxyclean.
I'd love to see a video about your fitness journey!
11:18, now on iTunes and Spotify
This was BRILLIANT really interesting as always! I LOVE UR CAT!
'UA-camrs dont read the comments' 😂
'UA-camrs can't read'
I think Barry Scott still does those adds
There was a weird advert recently with Arnold Schwarzenegger's head (or a puppet more specifically) on a set of caterpillar tracks who would roll around and yell at people who hadn't sorted their PPI
anyone else remember the advert with the bloke that kept pushing over windows while shouting 'you buy one and you get one free, i said you buy one and you get one free'?
Best one is defo when he goes down the slide “HI IM BARRY SCOTT”
the way you just said Walsall HURT ME
HI, I'M BARRY SCOTT
*HI, I'M A SHOUTY MAN*
Next week: Evan reacts to 'Cilit Bang Remix'
Love your videos! Have been watching you for a while.
Always look forward to your crazy fast endings ;)
Now you’ve seen ‘bang and the dirt is gone’ go watch Kitchen Gun and Toilet Grenade
There is a new advert which seems to be seeing the crushems. Advert for something aimed at kids parents
did anyone else watch the video and really hope to see their response in there and get disappointed when it wasn't even when you knew chances were really slim?
Aww I’m sorry
@@evan it's good dude don't worry, i know you got tons of questions so it'd be impossible to do everyone's :)
Okay in NZ we used to have the exact same ad as the Barry Scott ad, like literally everything the same but it was dubbed over with a more neutral accent and they changed it to "BAM and the dirt is gone" and I'm feeling real weird about hearing the original?
THE FIRST TIME MY QUESTION HAS EVER BEEN IN ANYONE'S Q&A THANKYOU EVAN!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤
Birds and the bees sides is actually my favorite album by Reliant K, how cool
I’m down for a fitness journey video.
Love the shirt !! Love the video 💕
In Australia it's called Bam.
We have the same slogan "BAM! And the dirt is gone." 😂
Inhales sharply,
I’M BaRrY SCOTT
I was in Austria this summer seeing family and went to a football match by myself and was sat next to someone around my age and I was speaking in German with him and wasn't even thinking about it and when I said I'm from Scotland he said that my German was acc very good which surprised me
im from walsall, and in say “war-saul” or “war-sull” ???
Yes fitness journey video please! I am so happy I understood the German jokes.
BANG! And the dirt is gone!
I genuinely thought Barry Scott was a real person for over half my life
i used to say "bang! and your house is gone" every time i saw those cillit bang ads lmao
haha I'm from Walsall. It is an interesting place... It's pronounced War-sul, until uni knocked the edges off my accent a bit people always used to think I'd said Warsaw as in Poland

The biggest rumour in our school was that Barry Scott went to our school, but year he didn’t
When can I buy the bilingual song on iTunes?
I love your top it's so cute!
Reminds me of the ads for “Easy Off Bam” in Australia. “Bam and the dirt is gone”
We get the Ozzie in NZ
Lieber Evan, ich finde deine Videos sehr interessant. Ich finde es total cool, dass du Deutsch lernst. Das machen nicht besonders viele Englischsprachige Menschen. Und es ist wirklich sehr schön zu sehen, wie viel Spaß es dir macht.
BANG and the dirt is gone 👌🏻

My cousins first word/sentence was as follows: _BANG THE DIRT IS GONE!_ I'm not friggin joking literally
Are we going to ignore his shirt
What it’s cool
I would love a fitness journey video!
Evan you're losing your American accent.
He is, went to a 5 year old upload after reading this comment, his voice is softening and gradually gaining English inflections
"I'm just too lazy to eat"
Wish I could relate...
Barry Scott is a British icon
I really wanna see Evan watch Dumb Ways to Die😂😂
That was the wrong version off the add
OXICLEAN!!!!! its the Billy Mays of the uk!
Will you record and upload a Relient K song cover? (Song of your choice)
I’m a simple man,
I see Barry scott,
I click

HE NORMALLY SHOUTS BANG! AND THE DIRT IS GONE WAY MORE! BANG! AND THE DIRT IS GONE! (also no other ads here start with "hi I'm so and so")
Walsall is pronounced War-Saul (like Better Call Saul) except without rolling the r, but I guess most UK place names are tricky for Americans so you're close enough :D Also, we don't love the Barry Scott advert, we collectively hate it. We bonded over how terrible yet catchy it was.
Damn why is it pronounced that way
@Evan Edingerbecause we English like to include silent letters for the lolz (maybe some people do pronounce the first l but I’m lazy 🤷♀️)
he is more like Billy mays than sham wow
I love you kitchen gun!
Moo you need the one were he slides in
My Grandparents live in Walsall, it's a dump hahaha
Not staying in a hotel/planning more is how you ended up in the tenderloin district in San Fransisco though lmao
that weird guy pushing over windows saying 'you buy one you get one free I SAID you BUY one you get one FREE' anyone else?
i need a reaction to the flash dog advert
Barry Scott is legendary lmao
Also, please, someone, explain the two German puns? It makes me feel incapable when I don't know 'em despite learning for almost 10 yrs...
I literally know and met Barry Scott.. his kids go to my cousins private school lmao 😂😂
