      The dam busters ad was the last Carling Black Label ad I remember seeing, featuring the Oblivion Boys. The next ad Carling made was full of chiseled English Tommies getting one over on German stereotypes. I assume the viewing public found the dam busters ad unpatriotic, so Carling was going all nationalistic.

    I've been searching high and low to no avail for an advert that me and my best friend at the time saw at the cinema before a film came on in the early to mid 90's in Wales.
    It was a Castlemaine XXXX ad where a bunch of Aussie outback types are shooting empty cans of 4X, one bloke doesn't miss and when he shoots the last can of 4X he discovers it was a full can and just loudly shouts in a thick Aussie accent
    "OH BOLLOCKS!"

    The Budweiser one is absolutely diabolical. IMO this spoils a very nice collection.
    The Boddingtons ad is quite good - the girl looks familiar - it's Melanie Sykes!!
    These ads are too late for me to know many of the actors - except the Cinzano and Jack Dee ones.
    I have details of the Martini Rosso ad on file including the name of the actress - great commercial - music by Chris Gunning.
    The same actress appears in the other Boddingtons (ice cream van) ad @ 9:20.
    Can't recall the name of the guy in the Carling Black Label laundrette ad.
    Those Lou Tennant ads ring a bell - there were a few of them and sure they had something to do with Gerry Anderson - like he produced them.
    Griff Rhys-Jones in the Holsten Pils ad.
    Of course, Jeff Goldblum (in the Holsten Pils ads) was originally in 'The Fly' (1986) - his first film appearance was a small role in 'Death Wish' (1974).😀

      Carling, Boddingtons and John Smiths were/are basically dish water. We have some terrible megabrewery beers here in the UK, include Fosters, Carlsburg, bud etc in that.
      Further to your point about UK licensed beers, I live in Spain for 6 years in the 2010s so partook in plenty of Spanish beer tasting! Living in Catalonia region, I often drank the Barcelona Estrella Damm (the red can), as well as San Miguel, Estrella Galicia and Cruzcampo, plus some of the fantastic German style double malts like Voll Damm (a 7.8% brew by the Estrella Damm brewery). The UK licensed equivalents are a weak tasteless shadow of those Spanish beers. For a start the strength of the Spanish lagers are high and they give them a good strong taste: 5.4% Estrella Damm, 5.5% Estrella Galicia, San Miguel 5.3% (I think), whereas the UK equivalent are all almost a full 1% lower!! It completely ruins the taste of the beers!
      Which brings me on to another point: why has all British canned and bottled alcohol been reduced in strength the past 10 or so years?! A proper nanny state of affairs now where you have to buy a £3 per can craft ale to get anything over 5% in strength! I used to drink 5% Strongbow cider but even that has been reduced to 4.5%!

    • @DeeCee-nb6ev
      @DeeCee-nb6ev 11 днів тому

      @@leod-sigefast the reduction in strength is down to the duty paid. Basically the weaker the beer the brewery pays less tax.
      My retailer of choice currently for beer is of all places Home Bargains. They have an often changing line of imported beers from around the world. Do read the labelling though as they do also sell beer brewed under license here.
      Recently had some Quilmes Argentinian lager (4.9%) which i enjoyed and Innis and Gunn Scottish Golden beer (6.6%) which has a unique flavour.
      Generally a good well made bottled lager beer will have plenty of carbonation of very small bubbles that seem never ending.
      Hurlimann, a Swiss lager brewed under license in the UK by Sheperd Neame is a decent drink though even that has changed from the days of my youth.
      Essentially i think that breweries keep the alcohol lower as well as your average drinker will quaff more.

      Molson coors brewing company own stones bitter, you can still find it in the odd pub in Sheffield and surrounding areas, bit weak at 3.7%. But recently true north brewery have collaborated with Molson and reinvented it using old recipes. 4.1 I think.

    The first ad is very cringe. It would most likely never have aired in the US because the various feminist groups would have been outraged. The one with the man running in the desert is kind of odd. Americans wouldn't know whether the commercial is for a candy bar or beer until they looked Boddington's up. I can understand putting a Flake in something like ice cream, but why beer?

    • @RetroSteveUK
      @RetroSteveUK  2 роки тому +2

      It's uniquely British humour, which has a tendency to take the mickey out of itself. The ad is a parody of those 'artsy' adverts for running shoes that were big at the time. The joke was that he was running after the ice cream van like a big kid. The Flake was a spin on the way ice cream van drivers often asked if you'd like a flake in your ice cream.
