Rhonda and Katut, the greatest Australian love story
Even an add for Covid
Our very own King and Queen 😁🤣
A love story for the ages....
😂 the modern Aussie fairytale. We need to see the set all in a row.
"Not happy Jan" became a catch call for a generation.
And who still
says, NOT HAPPY JAN, after all these years? I do 😂
Me too!
Me too 😅
Me too...& when it came out....my friend Jan copped the saying off everyone...😂😂😂
@@sarahclaireclaire7586
😂
I still say it too.
"Not Happy Jan!" 😂
My family and I still say that!
Loving your reactions to the classic adverts!
The Aami ads with Rhonda and Khatut were some of the best, Please consider a full length reaction to them;they were a mini series.Still loved by Aussies today.
Yep NOT HAPPY JAN is still a well used classic.
It's that thing we have inbuilt to us Aussies from that very add, that when anything pisses you off you just yell it 😭😭🤣🤣
There was an entire storyline around Rhonda and Katut (sorry for the spelling!) Also the " Not happy Jan" is now apart of everyday speech. We really have had some good adds over the years .
Think there was half a dozen of those ads in the end. Maybe more.
@@prussianpolydactyl836 didn't they win some awards? I know that there were a few of them.
We caught up to them during lockdown, they are doing well.
The Toyota bugger ads are the best, not sure where to find them.
At the top of this page is a UA-cam search box.Just type in "Toyota bugger" and Bob's your 2nd cousin on your mothers side.
You missed out the aeroplane jelly song which is a national treasure. 56yrs ago I sat at breakfast in a migrant boarding house and heard it for the first time and wondered where the hell I'd come to. Adored it ever since!
Vegemite is more solid than Marmite & a concentrated yeast extract. Developed as a method of using the nutritional solids left over from manufacturing beer.
‘Not happy Jan’ is an iconic saying now. Still used today.
Not happy Jan😂😂 a number of sayings are part of our everyday now
The caramello koala is a parody of Mellow Yellow by Donovan which was a huge hit in the 60s in the UK.
Around the world I reckon.
Definitely need to find a compalation for rhonda and katut
A bit of information for you. When first trying Vegemite, there is ONLY one way to try it. You need hot toast smothered with butter NOT margarine and then put a SMALL amount on the TIP of the knife and spread it very sparingly over the entire toast. It should look LIGHT BROWN in colour, NO darker. Just remember, a little goes a long way. It is also a good flavour enhancer for gravies, stews and casseroles. From my understanding, it maybe quite similar; it is made from leftover brewer's yeast, combined with malt extract and salt.
I have my Vegemite slapped on thick! 😊
@@maureenackerley8024 You'd get on well with one of my sisters, she's a psycho too. 😂
The ad with the kid asking about the Great Wall Of China made me laugh out loud. Nasi goreng is an Indonesian fried rice dish!
Exactly, the ad was part of a series for Bigpond, an early broadband internet access company.
All the ads had kids asking clueless parents about things and getting very wrong, and sometimes funny "facts".
to keep the rabbits out is a comparison of the great wall of China with the Australian rabbit proof fence. you can google what it is if you are interested in it.
@@thevocalcrone I am ashamed to admit that never clicked with me.
Cheers
Just a bit of tourist advice regarding your stay. If an Aussie says to you "Not happy Jan" you'll know that you really pissed them off 😉😅
I was picking fruit in northern Queensland, and every so often I would yell " my mum picks the fruit that goes to cottees that makes the cordial that I like best. The rest of the pickers wanted to lynch me by the end of the day. After a while, they were singing it too..
Sadly they dont make ads like they used to, anymore. Suppose that just makes all the classics that much sweeter 😊
Strewth, them were the good old days I reckon…..hands down and no two ways about it.
When I moved to Australia I kept running into people saying “Not happy, Jan” when things had gone wrong or someone had stuffed up. That was one of those ads that entered the public consciousness. You still sometimes hear people say it but I think the ad hasn’t aired for about 20 years so it’s not so common now.
Vegemite. Yes, you should try it and you’ll probably find it in the larger supermarkets. We had a big Tesco near us where my wife got Vegemite. It’s sort of like Marmite in that it’s a yeast spread, but the taste and consistency is different. I’ve never liked Marmite but there’s something about Vegemite that I quite enjoy. It’s strong though so when you first try it less is definitely more.
Fun Vegemite fact: the smell from the Vegemite factory in Melbourne, which you can often smell from the nearby freeway, has heritage protection. I am absolutely not making that up.
BUT, Vegemite was (TRUE) first discovered "(Between The Rats)", at a town called Beaufort, slapbang, right between "The Rats", being Ararat, AND Ballarat.
Our army, WW2, fighting off The Japs, up in PNG& DARWIN, used to get their Vegemite, in tubes, like toothpaste tubes.
And, we'd also have Vegemite, stirred into our bowls of Porridge (Delicious), And also as a hot drink, just stirred into a mug of Boiling Water.
I wasn't alive when the ad aired and yet I say not happy Jan
whatever you do don't eat Vegemite from a spoon. Spread sparingly on a warm toast with butter melting into the toast . Best breakfast!
One of my mates younger brother replaced the Nutella that the oldest brother would eat straight from the jar with Vegemite. That was funny.
Not for the person eating it 🤣@@esg4364
"Caramello Koala" was a riff on the 1960s Donavan song "Mellow Yellow". In the 60's and into the 70's you could use a current song in advertising by paying a small license fee. This led to many great advertising jingles (as they were called) because all the advertising company had to do was pick a very popular hit song and get someone to write some words to it and they had a guaranteed ear worm that people would go around singing. Later on they had to get permission (from the composer or copyright owner) to use the song in advertising, and that led to very high licensing fees to secure the rights to use it. That was pretty much the end of really great jingles on TV and radio with some few exceptions. It probably did create more revenue for the composers initially because previously the small license fees would have been paid to the record companies while the composer was under contract.
A music teacher I had in the 90's used to make a bit of extra money by writing advertising jingles, since by then using tunes from the record charts was getting horrendously expensive. A lot of these jingle composers are quite talented in their own right, however it's not a great formula for great catchy tunes since the pay is small and you have to churn them out quickly.
"Not Happy Jan!" is definitely an iconic phrase used by us Aussies thanks to this Yellow pages Ad. This ad still cracks me up
Never noticed before but you're right..the most memorable old ads had jingles, or one-line catch phrases that really caught on, like "Not happy, Jan!" Vegemite is a bit like Marmite but made from yeast extract. It's a but stronger and sharper, so try sparingly on buttered toast..not out of the jar!!
Due to MOJO , the jingle kings
aussie tv has done nothing but become absolutely insufferable over the last 10 years. you wont catch many good ads like these anymore.
i am aussie and i would agree ..... "not happy jan"
who watches commercial tv anymore? everything is streamed now even the footy.
National Lamb day usually comes up with decent Ad! Lol
Lots of older ads had jingles and you’re right it does help it stick in your head. The Vegemite song was one of the earliest, along with the Aeroplane Jelly song and Louie the Fly for Mortein. Mojo were responsible for a lot of jingles around the time of the ads in this video, one of their most popular was C’mon Aussie C’mon for the cricket.
@miniveedub....also the Great Ross Higgings of Kingswood Country did the original Louie the Fly ad.....& the Original Areoguard ads....brilliant 💖
lol I' louie the fly straight from the garbage bin straight to you! :D
Vegemite is like Marmite but better, at least as far as many Australians are concerned, I have even done blind taste tests and Vegemite wins easily.
With the Vegemite , just a little bit spread on toast with butter. Don't use spoonfuls of it. Even 60 year olds who have been eating it since 6 months old can't handle that.
I'm 63 and have always spread my vegemite thickly...
Yummo
@@Wandafulofityep and the left over on the knife goes in the mouth too, not back in the jar.
So True...People that havnt had it before spread it on like JAM...it has to be Just SMEARED on...otherwise it's way to strong imo...and definately with butter...MORE Butter than Vegemite actually...TBH...I prefer Promite...an old GF got me onto it and I never went back🙃
@@utha2665Agree. But not for newbies lol
@@peterhoz Oh 100%, seasoned veterans only 😂
Definitely in the same arena as Marmite, but VERY different. I still don't like Marmite, but I like Vegemite and Promite.
Marmite is the best of the three, but I like them all.
Vegemite is incidentally (ie not deliberately) vegan, Marmite is beef-based.
@@alexandlynnward6651 that doesn’t change it’s standing with me. It is kind of implied by the name… Vegemite. :-)
I think you mixed up Banana Boat and Caramello Koala but I agree they are often quite catchy.
Ozzie's Love "Takeing the Piss" out of everything and everyone...but sadly it's slowly not being allowed with the Woke brigade
I'm in my 60s it's not stopping me. They need to know where to place that woke ... 😂
The Rhonda & Katut ad was a good one. I travelled to Bali with a friend & had not seen that ad, for 2 weeks everyone kept calling my red headed friend Rhonda. Lol We had no idea until we got home & saw the ad that it finally made sense
Katut and Rhonda has a whole plotline XD
How very dare you compare Vegemite to Marmite. Slap yourself now! 😅❤🐨
"Not happy Jan!" is still something people say. All from that ad!
Suprised the Daewoo ads with the blind man driving the car and the dog barking once for left and twice for right wasn't on there.
Dog barks 3 times. "Three barks? What's three barks for?" Car goes over a ledge.
And the sequel ad where he remembered what 3 barks was for.
Hahah “not happy jan ? is now well and truly an aussie saying decades later 😂😂😂
ROFL that you say that the jingles stick in your head then you sing the wrong one
I remember the Cottee's ad, remember singing in the school playground, "my dad picks his nose and sends it to Cottee's".
There's an add at the moment for eBay "let's do sushi carol" 😂. But yeh love the old stuff from the 2000s
Not Happy Jan. A lot of us still say that. It is an old Aussie Classic.
"Not ahppy, Jan!" has entered the Australian vernacular.
"Not Happy Jan" became a cultural saying after that advertisement. Still is among those over 35.
If you try Vegemite, and already eat Marmite, probably put on about70% as much as you would marmite. If you do NOT eat marmite, think how much peanut butter you would put on if you were only putting on "a little", halve it, halve it again, then make it a bit less. Have it on buttered toast, and maybe have a slice of cheddar to the side to try to compliment the taste if it's a bit much for you.
That said, saying you or someone else is a "happy little vegemite" is still a thing. It's a way to say you were pleased or content about the situation. (Vegemite was a local creation made from beer yeast during the (1st?) world war when we couldn't import marmite.
Edit: Goddammit! After 30 years I ALMOST got that cottees jingle out of my head. Now it's back! Argh!!!! *laughs*
“NOT HAPPY JAN!” Is a famous Australian catch cry that almost everyone understands. When you come here you should try it.
Vegemite is the Aussie version of Marmite because we couldn’t import Marmite so we made our own. Yours is thick and sticky like molasses pr honey, whereas Vegemite is a smooth, shiny paste. It’s very salty so start out with a very light smear on buttered toast or untoasted white bread. If you add too much, you’ll regret it, but if you add too little, taste it and know you can handle more, do so very gradually.
If an Aussie asked if you would like a "nana", he's not talking about his grandmother; but offering you a banana.
please tell me you were joking mixing up the banana boat song and Caramelo koala song at the end that was a triggering moment for me lol and the vegemite commercial there isn't an 80's kid in Australia that can't sing that word for word till this day.
LOL At the end you were humming BANANA BOAT and calling it KOALA BEAR!!
Yeah, Vegemite is a lot like Marmite. The Yellow Pages ad with; “Not happy Jan!” Has become part of everyday speech. The Banana Ad is a continuation of a theme that started in the early 80’s.
Amazing how a good tag line goes viral....."Not happy Jan" is now widespread &,naturally,now refers to being disappointed in something or someone or situation
Rhonda and Katut proved to be so charming that they evolved into a series of ads over numerous years which culminated in them getting married and having a baby.
The actress who says "Not happy, Jan" was at my school as well as Cottees family. Hugh Jackson too! Lol
There were a lot of public safety ads with great jingles to search for.....life be in it - to get people moving, slip, slop, slap- sun smart and dumb ways to die -train safety which would be good to look at.
"Not happy Jan" has become part of Australian vernacular.
When i was learning the multiplication tables as a child it was done to music as you remember music don't you. I remember the words to songs I haven't heard for twenty years!
For heaven's sake! The song is 'Mellow Yellow' by Donovan. You are showing your (lack ) of age! haha
I promise most Australians thought the same with the lube mobile add too 🤣 😂
Rhonda and katut had several ads featuring them, that ran over a couple of years.
Vegimite is like weak British Marmite . (From what I remember of it).
If we aren’t happy we now say “Not Happy Jan,” lol
Fun fact: there was actually a petition to bring back the cottees cordial jingle somewhere around 10yrs back.
I don't even talk to people who eat Marmite!
You got find the ANZ ads where they send in the Falcon. Another classic.
Handy hint … very lightly scrape half a teaspoon of Vegemite on buttered toast …NO MORE!
Don’t fall for the ‘full spoonful’ trick. 😂
Anyone born after like 1975 probably still quotes these. I was born late 80's and still reference most of these commercials if they fit into whatever I'm rambling on about.
The Karamello Koala song comes from the old rock song “Mellow Yellow”, which is a real laid back banger. Coded for the time, yellow mellow is about hallucinogenic drugs, and electric yellow mellow is about women using electric vibrators.
I grew up with Marmite in the UK and yes, it does taste like Vegemite. Also, in the 50s and 60s at the local swimming baths you could buy a hot drink which was an oxo cube dissolved in hot water!
I still make the oxo drink even today, mind you I am oldish 65
I've tasted Marmite, I wasn't impressed and it doesn't taste like Vegemite..AT ALL lol
& promite...that's yuck as well....VEGEMITE wins hands down...🤣🤣💖
Cofee, tea, or Bonox? Yet another ad from the 60s Australia. Bonox was a very concentrated liquid beef stock.
🤣🤣🤣 oops you got the caramel Kola ad mixed up with...banana boat ad....😂❤
The Caramello koala bear tune is from Donovan’s “Mellow Yellow” song.
When I was in high school my friend made up a smutty song, that unfortunately I no longer recall the words to, about another friends dad to the tune of the cottees cordial ad and apparently hearing it still triggers a reaction 20 years on lol. Thanks for that S 👍
I'm sure l said "Not happy, Jan" today! 😂
We certainly have a lot of catchy songs in adds.... They were clever doing this, as it creates an ear worm... And the were in your head allllllll day
Vegemite on toast with lots of butter. You dont need much a thin spread is plenty. Not out of the jar till your hooked 😂
Vegemite, the trick is just a little on toast. You work you’re way up from there.
Any Aussies remember the rude version of Cottee’s song? It was popular in primary school.
Since I found your channel, I have been laughing. There is quite a bit of slang she missed - yobbo, bludger, bogan…
And, I have thought of so many ads… if you want some more ads or a very funny on learning ‘Australians’ (as in Australians is what we speak rather than English), let me know.
If I list them here you might not see it and your viewers might.
Loving some true Aussie style, it’s getting a little around here these days, I needed the reminder. Thanks for your channel.
From Melbourne 🇦🇺
In answer to your question from the slang video, Melbourne is about 1000 kms from Sydney. For some Aussies a driving Manchester to London would be a daily commute to work.
How close everything is in the UK and Europe was just weird. I could drive through multiple countries in less time that I could drive the border of Victoria.
Google a map of Europe overlaid on a map of Australia 🤯
Oh, and there are differences in culture, speed, vocabulary and a little inter-state rivalry and other delights for you to discover in your travels. It’ll be an awesome adventure.
I should clarify one thing from the slang video, she wasn’t from New South Wales or Queensland. I know this by how she defined football. This is important if you go north of Victoria. In Victoria and other sensible States football is Aussie Rules Football (the clue is in the name).
She (I don’t know her name) correctly stated ⚽️ is not football but soccer. But she didn’t clarify this definition does not apply in certain States.
By the time you are north of Sydney football starts to refer to either Footy or Rugby. I have no idea what rugby is about. It looks like American Grid Iron to me, without the safety equipment. I don’t know the rules or the point but they seem to run with ball and purposely crash into each other.
I may have spent my whole life blissfully unaware of this but I spent time in high school in Queensland All
I figured out is there there is rugby league and rugby Union and they are apparently different but both seem to be called football. 🤷♀️
Aussie rules will always be football to me! 🏉 ⬅️ is a football. If you are in Victoria, this is important to know we are the ones who play real footy and shared our game with the rest of the country! 😂
Vegemite is the residue from the making of beer. Loaded with B vitamins. Salt added.
When you try Vegemite, don't go the 'macho' rout and eat a spoonful straight off. It's very salty, so start with a little and work your way up. Yes, it's sort of like marmite, but made from a yeast extract. Also, dissolve in a little hot water and add into sauces, etc, to boost the flavour of the sauce. Think of it like Soya Sauce.
NOT HAPPY JAN....ad has a part 2....😂😂🤣🤣
They made a sequel to the Great Wall of China ad several months ago. The young boy in the original ad as an adult is driving and his nephew is in the back seat. The nephew asks a question that his uncle can’t answer correctly, but the nephew had his tablet of iPad and looks up the correct answer straight away.
Vegemite was originally called Parwill, and the slogan was Marmite but Parwill.
Lol. How made that up😅
Vegemite is a lot like Marmite. The tune you hummed at the end is the Banana Boat sunscreen ad.
Caramello - jingle is based on UK 60s song ‘Mellow Yellow’ by Donovan
If you do try Vegemite, (which is a lot like Marmite...only better!), butter your bread or toast first and then spread the Vegemite VERY lightly over it. Don't let anyone trick you into piling it on thick!! We Aussies simply don't eat it like that. You can also make a Vegemite Soup in a cup by pouring boiling water over 2 or more heaped teaspoons of Vegemite and adding salt to taste. I love dipping bread and butter fingers in it. Just delicious! As for the ads... search UA-cam for the 'No Milk Today' ad. It's so funny!
Marmite and Vegemite. In that they are both yeast-extract based, they're similar. But Vegemite has reduced onion juice, reduced carrot juice, reduced celery juice, and allegedly 'spices' as well. Vegemite has way more salt than Marmite
Best commercial “Sikum Rex” so gooooooooood think it might have been made in the mid 80s but I’m not sure……
You should look out for the Toyota "bugger" ads. Very funny. 😅
Try Vegemite with just a smear on buttered toast or fresh bread. Be frugal until your palate adjusts. 😊
Sang some thing years ago when I was a kid....mum said not to.Found out it was incontenance pads.lol❤
Hun, I run adult stores, I hear and say lube every damn day, lol, we even sing Lube mobile sometimes, lol
Never eaten a Big Mac but i know whats in them from the ad. 2 all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesseme seed bun.
Koalas are marsupials. They are not bears. Have a listen to Don Spencer singing “Please Don’t Call Me a Koala Bear.”
"Emperor Nasi Goreng". Hahahahahahaha!
When you get your hands on some vegemite make yourself a vegemite and cheese toastie! You won't regret it!
If you do try Vegemite, make sure you don't put too much on the bread.
Its a very thin layer you want, over an equivalent spread of butter.
Vegemite on Toast is great, eaten while still hot, or for a healthy lunch try Vegemite and cheese on bread.
Go to a Hotel, stay the night and breakfast. At breakfast there should be little bubble packs with Vegemite. The finest smear on your buttered toast. So fine you can see through it, for a nice first taste. Don’t be adventurous and eat it off a spoon.
P.S.
LOVE YOUR LEFT PALM TATT.
THIS IS MY SYMBOL THAT HEADS MY PROFILES.
FRUIT OF LIFE. WAY TO GO!
The old add I never saw the actual videos as a kid but always heard them on radio or tv. the newer adds you see sendom these days if any. Never saw that last one.
If you think the Lube Mobile is fun, you should hear the Gold Coast Rebel radio advert about getting it up....
Vegemite, Mate commonly called axle grease, just spread it thinly ... not so think as in the ads. Yes, most Aussie Adds most;y have a jingle.
Not happy Jan! 🤣😂 My fav ad/saying I still use. Vegemite is similar to Marmite, slightly different taste.
Similar to Marmite. If you are going to try it, just scrape it on. 😁
Can't believe you haven't included Dumb ways to die.
Not happy Jan, - that is a phrase in the Aussie lexicon now. Warning - if you try Vegemite, start VERY small. And no, it's SOOO much better than Marmite.
You can buy Vegemite in Tesco superstores in the UK.
