You know what I always liked? How the Harriers only appeared for about a second! Probably the most spectacular part of any ad and they just tossed it in at the end in a “by the way” kind of fashion. Brilliant!
I still have not figured out how or where the transition at 0:50 takes place, but there is a transition between locations and thus filming and it's fucking seamless. It might be viewed as over-the-top nationalist pomp these days but years later this advert is still fucking incredible and gets me pumped to see Ray batter Sebastian. The Harriers at the end are epic too lol
It's at 0:54, when he raises his arm and says "that" source: just watched the bts and there's a rought cut at the end where you can easily spot the transitions. I could haver never got that one by just watching the video, not even slowed down.
This is the greatest advert ever broadcast on British television, no question. A classic. Makes me want to go out in the streets hunting for French exchange students, just to rub it in that we voted for Brexit. Have you got that, Sebastian?
It's when you see an ad like this and then think about the current times that it makes you realise how free we used to be. The ad is a real sign of the times, where you could express yourself freely and not feel that everything has to have a box ticked.

I saw that in a reaction video and one of the three dudes laughed at the end because the jets are too much. The other ones talked about how amazing this video is. All of them agreed: Best commercial ever
It starts of in a tall office block, then it's on the ground floor of an industrial estate, then it's being shot on the white cliffs of Dover. All in one take. Incredible.
You'd not be allowed to, it is far too British and not multiculti, sexually inclusive and is xenophobic. We flogged off the Harriers cheap to the Yanks and now we have aircraft carriers with no aircraft that we're meant to be sharing with French. I'll never forget the advert, best ever and I'm lucky to have been around when we could still do that sort of thing.
Ray Gardner, I wholeheartedly apologise for coming up to you in Safeways in Walton On Thames in about 97 and saying 'I'll take you on'. Your expression told me it probably wasnt the first time you heard it that day. I was 19 then, shit, time flies.
Don't live with this as a regret. Ray would have understood. What you did was completely natural. Ray knows but as an Englishman, couldn't express this without invading another country.
Russell Howcroft spoke of this advertisement as being his favourite all-time advertisement on Gruen, (Australian ABC National TV, - November 2021) it certainly is pretty special........... thank you for posting.......... :)
Not really. They do make me laugh because they're hovering above a fat bloke with moobs in a boxing ring giving the large to a kid because the kid doesn't like a new flavour of soft drink.
Why? Why be proud of killing machines? Iraqi kids are dead due to those and the evil twats that flew them. FOR NOTHING BUT LIES FROM EVIL POLS. Proud to be British? Wake up man.
Black current Tango holds a particular memory for me, I was a teenager and a friend introduced me to a certain illicit substance in a park in Bath (Alexandra Park, just off Bear Flat) we did it in a bottle with a plastic bag attached… anyway, I was wasted, to the point I was afraid to cross the busy road on the Bear Flat, I finally made it across and into the JCR shop and brought a can of Black Current Tango, as my mouth was seriously dry, and swigging that can was instant relief, it was sooo nice, and the sugars gave me a much needed boost. Can’t remember much else about that night, but any time I see or hear of BC Tango, I get reminded of it…. FYI, I do not condone the use of any illicit substances, but at that age I didn’t know any better.
@@drahcirnevarc9152 well the shop, a JCR, where I brought the can of tango has now been turned into either an estate agents or hairdresser, it used to be right next door to the Bear Pub, which is still going, and has a model large white bear above the door.
Brexit brought me here. Love this advert with a passion, it’s brilliantly humorous. Makes you wonder how many people watching it now would see it as an example of great british humour or a patriotic rallying cry 😆
There's always some fanny who starts posting flag-shagging wank. Get in the sea you arse and let real Brits enjoy a commercial without your fuckwittery.
...which was reissued by DeConstruction on CD, cassette and purple-coloured 7 inch vinyl and then re-entered the UK Top 20 following the advert's premiere on television.
I watch this every now and again always brings a smile to my face. Would love a sequel but it would have to have multi-cultural, multi-gendered cast. Maybe Olympian Nicola Adams in the ring with Ray Gardner doing everything he did before but ending up as the ref inviting Sebastian into the ring with her.
I was 16 when this advert came out. I bloody loved it. It was so ground breaking and clever. And I did indeed vote leave. But I think I was eurosceptic before then, I’m not so sure, maybe this advert impressed my mind 🤔😂

That's precisely what makes it three times as epic as the twice epic moments in an adverts worth of data.
Yeah, btw, I have some Jump Jets so don’t mess Sebastian.
There's only one Harrier there, the other two are early CGI of the one.
Yep we’re British don’t mess with us lol
THE Greatest commercial ever filmed. End of discussion.
:)
2nd best after Cadbury gorilla, those harriers tho wow
Alan Bane 😁👍🏼
love this one. ua-cam.com/video/YbYWhdLO43Q/v-deo.html
The "metal ramen" commercial is pretty great.

Ray Gardner should be appointed Britain's head negotiator when we renegotiate our terms with EU.
I'LL TAKE YOU ALL ON
+ CraftyMagpie88
I second that. In fact, it's the best idea I've heard regarding the EU in nearly two years. Where is Ray Gardner now? We need him.
Can't be any worse than the clowns negotiating it now
What terms !
I think we should still bring him in, two weeks until fight night
The undisputed greatest advert of all time.

I think the exchange students would be as uninterested in Brexit as they would have been in this advert
Non.

Greatest advert ever. Predicts Brexit by decades. Astonishing.
Ah yeah, Brexit... where the UK voted to fight a french man over a blackcurrant soft drink
Brexit was the plan all along
All hair gel and fancy loafers!
Also very clever in creating the illusion of a 'one take' tracking shot!

I strangely get goosebumps when i see those harriers
We should be playing that in Jersey right now :)
Talking about this advert at work today, had to find it and glad to see others love it just as much.
Best advert ever and the only advert that ever stuck for me. Shame you'd never see something like it these days.

Too expensive for TV, there's not enough money in it anymore to justify this sorta stuff
I'm an American watching this and I gotta say why don't we have something like this? this is awesome!
This ad is legendary

Still the best commercial I've seen, even after all these years.
I love the Harrier Jump Jets at the end 🛩
I’ve heard of Dark Fruit Tango but not Blackcurrant Tango.
I must have missed out whilst it was in stores or maybe this was before I was born.
More fool you.

Brilliant. I spewed my Tango over the keyboard. Five times! See if you can do that, you bloody FRENCH!
Best TV advert ever and a Pompey lad, I lived in same street as him and his family in paulsgrove.
My claim to fame is having Ray gardener threaten to beat me up for taking the micky out of his sister.
I’m a staunch Remainer. But this advert not only makes me want to vote leave; it makes want to declare war on France
We all want to declare war on France
Who the fuck is disliking this? It’s amazing.
A French exchange student
Hi, my name is Sebastian and I'm from France. I did not quite enjoy this ad as much as I enjoyed the other Tango ads.
You're nothing Johnny French, you hear me??
That's because you're all hair gel and loafers.
If only this guy was Nigel Farage, it would be the best advert ever😂
Why was I thinking the exact same thing 😂
Now I want some blackcurrant tango

got to be the best ever tv advert love it
The best advert ever
Such a funny advert. Man, I miss the days when characters like this were satire!
Just spent 20 min trying to find this epic masterpiece
This advert reminds me of Brexit.
When my dad saw it, he said "All this over a can of pop".
Brexit brought me here. Love this advert with a passion, it’s brilliantly humorous. Makes you wonder how many people watching it now would see it as an example of great british humour or a patriotic rallying cry 😆
Oh and chefs kiss to the fighter jets at the end.
Still gives me goose bumps lol
This is patriotic as fuck...a nation truly moving as one, our arrival is imminent, Johnny...lets fucking goooooooo!
Ray gardener the man. I salute u sir lol
well that escalated really quickly...
They don't make adverts like this anymore
I was an extra in this ad
Now that is something to be proud of, awesome advert, needs to be aired again. 👍❤️🇬🇧
Still shared all over the net by patriots. Well done, mate, and thank you.
as usual, the 'patriots' fail to understand satire
Shame the advert is a parody of patriotism, taking pride in and fighting over petty nonsense

lol - Love it. It still has the magic.
Lmaooooo I just came here from mxrs video 😝 this is so funny! 😂
The office is in Welwyn Garden City then magically to Kent. Fantastic ad.
I'll take you all on! On the white cliffs of Dover. Priceless..
Actually Starts in an office in West Croydon
It's Croydon aka Manhattan, London
the best advert i hav eva seen by far
It’s 2023 and this is still one of the greatest commercials ever made. Big props to the makers. 🫡

the best ad ever.
absolute quality
Needs a remaster and rerelease
This is like the British George Washington Challenger commercial
And so Brexit was born.
Can't say I'm a brexiter I love Europe but this advert is the best ever made. Britain is deep in my heart, but Europe is an adventure.
A risky one.
best ad ever. show it to the wokists
I watch this every now and again always brings a smile to my face. Would love a sequel but it would have to have multi-cultural, multi-gendered cast.

Hey, thats pretty good!

Still number 1. Numero Uno.
Hi mate, is this the only version available on line?
bring back blackcurrant tango
This commercial is why we got Brexit.
If the hairs on the back of your neck don’t stand up the … YOU AIN’T BRITISH 👍🇬🇧
14 subs, uploaded 5 years ago, goes trending, yep seems like youtube to me
Still epic
My media class used this advert to talk about the purpose, the content and the meaning of it.
I hope the woke twerps learnt a lesson about values.
Sebastian finna catch them hands
Epic
Ironically blackcurrant tango didn't last either .
Classic
*The Dance tune at about 40 seconds?? anyone? AMAZING!

If there were ever to been a Brexit ad. This would be it.
G.O.A.T
Whos watching in May 2019?
AAAHAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Not me! I'm watching in May 2020! :)
Sebastian. . . . . You're fucked!
whats the tune that starts at 40 seconds??
Felix, don't you want me.
How do I get black currant tango in my life?
ngl i came here after enders parody
Empires were built on this !
Post-Brexit Britain.
Boris johnson should of done this as a brexit advert.
