Scottish person here. It wasn’t just their tv adverts that were hilarious! I was driving through my home town, years ago and there was an Irn Bru billboard. It was a picture of the head of a cow with a speech bubble saying “when I’m a Burger, I want to be washed down by Irn Bru”. I nearly crashed the car!! 😂😂
🤣
Fuck sake! 😂
The other iconic Irn Bru poster ad was a woman stirring a big stew pot with headline of "He was a good dog....but he drank my Irn Bru"
@@britblue 😂oh ffs! Haaaaaahaaahaaa. Love that company!
The other one was an old black and white photo of a guy smiling with a top hat and glasses. The tag was I didn’t drink Irn Bru and now I’m a total arse.
The Snowman one makes alot more sense if you watched The Snowman, which is an animation on every Christmas here in the UK.
👆100% this.. 🤫Queen and Princess Boomer (when older) will love the snowman.... its a family tradition the girls in our house would pepperspray the loo roll if we skipped.

We get it, snow melts!
One of the classic British animations of that time which traumatised a generation. Basically, a snowman comes to life and takes a boy on a magical journey to see Father Christmas. The next day the boy wakes up to find that his new friend is dead. Other classics of this time include Watership Down, which is basically about a gang war between bunnies, Plague Dogs, where a couple of dogs escape an animal testing laboratory, and one of them spends the whole film slowly dying, and When the Wind Blows, where an old couple try to survive after a nuclear holocaust. The UK had a different attitude towards children's cartoons than Disney back then, which seemed to want to teach them that there is no hope.
@@mikmook4781Ah yes, When the Wind Blows, a heartwarming tale about an elderly couple using what they know to overcome the unknown.
No American gets the "nice rug mum"
A gross exaggeration. I know of two Americans who got the joke.
@@ianstopher9111 so that would narrow it doon to 300 million if ye estimate like me........2 on here 300 million in real life 🤔
@@ianstopher9111 I'm thinking 50 million are just thick............. give or take a million😂
#2 is a parody of the 1980s children's book/animation "The Snowman", which may never have made it across the Pond.
😮For those who don't know, "The Snowman" is a shortish animated film that's a real tradition on TV in the UK; it's been on every single year (usually on Christmas Eve, I think) since the early 80s and that advert is really good recreation of both the animation and the music. I would have expected most people who hadn't seen the film to not really get the advert, but I guess that it just goes to prove how well done it was that he still found it funny!
Anyone going to explain the "nice rug mum" to boomer because I ain't doing it.
We'll do it politely then! Lady garden. 😱😂
Rug means crotch hair right?
@@LoneCloudHopperyes
In the words of Al Murray, "I'll ave a crack, f-ck it!
Her pelvic decoration?
The one that's missing is the keystone. The legend was "made in Scotland, from Girders" (Glasgow was one of the UK's biggest towns for shipbuilding). The Ad that started it all was a boy's bottle of Irn Bru being run over by a steamroller, and it wrecks the steamroller's barrel. The boy then pulls the bottle out and continues drinking. It makes sense of all the clanging sound effects in some of them.
Yes. From the mid 1980s. Steamroller. Great ad.
Founded in Falkirk
I lived in Scotland for 5 years and was advised that Irn Bru is a great cure for a hangover 😂
I don't drink, so wouldn't know. But it's the best juice to have with a takeaway.
110% sugar + water to rehydrate + enough gas to fart all the alcohol out. Best when from fridge - greater dynamics effect from the gas
Irn Bru and a bacon butty = hangover cure
Irn Bru and a Roll and Square sausage does the job
Some of their billboards were great too, there was one in Edinburgh that had an old guy sitting in an armchair with a dog on either side of him and the caption said "I love Irn Bru and so do my two b*tches".
By the way, them 'ripping on the Yanks' was a direct response to Coca-Cola once mounting an aggressive marketing campaign in Scotland to cut into Irn Bru's leading share of the soft drink market.
This is especially true of Number 3.
Yup.
The power of -Irn Bru- Iron Brew is such that Scotland is one of the few places on the planet where even the Coke behemoth had to admit defeat. 😅
In my opinion they left out the funniest one (the man on the toilet on the train, the auto-door opens unexpectedly just as a guy asks where he can park his bike).
The snowman one is forever iconic. Based off of The Snowman (1982) film, I know the IrnBru lyrics better 😂
"off of"? FFS! 🤦
@@steddie4514 I was writing a very quick comment... not a modern addition to the Magna Carta.
@@steddie4514 What's wrong with "off of", people have been using it for over 500 years, even before Shakespeare used it when he invented a bunch of new words.
@@lmcgregoruk it's more common in US verbal english, the 'of' is not necessary
@@MrVidification I'm from Hull in England. A city that is over 700 years old and everyone says "off of" I wouldn't normally write it... no idea it was so controversial... whilst this seems to have got on a few peoples nerves, I wonder what else gets people cross in colloquial grammar!
Tango adverts are good too and Marmite ads.
I think those Tango ads got banned, due to kids copying them by slapping other kids
@@travisbickle2004 yes they did but they changed them to kissing the guy on lips but with his hand in the way , and the Napoleon one with his big rubber hand !
Marmite was the best 😂
I was going to suggest the tango ads too.
Kb would love those. I think they're funnier than the irn bru ads
The new tango jail ad is crazy as f..k 🤔🤦🏼♂️
Irn Bru needs to be nice and cold to experience the best flavour!
It's impossible to get it without artificial sweetener in it now though!
Tartan is what Americans call plaid. It’s the material that kilts are made of and synonymous with Scotland.
I think the American accent struggles with tartan, but the Scottish accent struggles with the word plaid.
@@AaronJackson0well I'm Scottish and I don't struggle with the word...why do you think that...plaid.... really 😂😂😂 utter rubbish ... have you ever heard of a girl channel called MISS PUNNY PENNIE....she is a poet and a lover of the scots language....she does scots word of the day and what you said is offensive because as kids we were belted for using the words our mammies spoke....we were told that we sounded dumb and could not pronounced English....I know you didn't mean to cause offence but jeez shite man😂😂😂😂not able to say plaid REALLY😳🙄🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻♀️🦍💨PHRRRRRRP
I can say both fine. The difference between tartan and plaid is tartan colours are specific for each Scottish clan. Mine for example, the MacGregor is majority red with the little squares of green
@@Kat-mu8wq I am Scottish yeh fann*ie..only eejits think the plaid is different that tartan..AND THEY ALL HAVE NAMES🙄🙄🙄🙄SO UP YER KILTER
Incase you couldn’t tell what they were saying in the songs towards the end, it says “its irn-bru, made in Scotland from girders” which is hilarious🤣
Yup, these were my teenage years.
I actually forgot about these until a few months back when reactions like this started popping up, stuffs so uptioght now, I forgot just how good we had it in the 2000's
I loved the picture on the back of one of the Irn Bru trucks that had the picture of a shrimp with a machine gun and dressed as a commando and the caption was 'Hard core prawn'. Fantastic!
Made in Scotland, from girders" used to be their slogan. It lasted for decades, usually involving some kid acquiring super strength with hilarious consequences. (Those musical ones were just the last of the "with girders" ad campaign before they switched to it fixing traumatic situations with a sip.
The #2 ad was a spoof on a song released in the UK at christmas in the 80’s or 90’s called The Snowman. The animation is the same as the music video, you can probably find it on youtube easily enough
This is the best reaction video I've seen for anything! You really enjoyed those! Love, from Scotland
The dog nemed Wembley also farted on the Scottish flag rug. 😂
13:16 That should've been number 1 as far as I'm concerned!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This will soon be listed as "Most replayed" on YT by the time I'm done! 🤣
The young actor who appeared in the Irn Bru advert in the high school is Jack Lowden who starred in Apple TV’s _Slow Horses_ and that Christopher Nolan film _Dunkirk._ This was probably one of his first acting jobs.
Shit, so it is! 🤯
"Nice rug mum"
And 'let's call her fanny'!
@@alfiekelly5914
“awww Fanny you’re just like your daddy”! 💁🏻♀️
Gets me every time! 🤗 I don’t think a lot of Americans actually get what that word means here in the UK.
A must watch for your "Queen" to enjoy?! - No2 is a parody of famous UK Christmas animation of "The Snowman" - favourite with UK kids for years- in this version they fly over famous Scottish landmarks - Nessie - Forth bridge etc.
Worlds only rotating boat lift.
The Snowman one has always been my favourite. It's an homage to a Christmas animation called The Snowman. The animation of the original looks just like that, and the song they're singing is a parody of the original. Funny but really well done as well.
As an Englishman who lived in various parts of Scotland for sixteen years, I can honestly say that Irn Bru and Lilt are the only soft drinks I will drink, albeit very rarely. I drink Scotland's real national drink pretty much on a daily basis.
Here’s something about Irn Bru, because of a stupid sugar tax in the UK the company changed the recipe. Years later someone got the genius idea to bring back the old recipe as it’s own separate drink called Irn Bru 1901.
Tbf, not having drinks loaded with sugar is a better option.
@@Tao_Tology Maybe. But it doesn’t taste as good.
@@saltiresamurai9215 It's a necessary sacrifice. 'new' Irn Bru isn't the same but it's (a bit) lesd likely to kill you.
@@Tao_Tology it’s a sugary drink not bleach. It’s not good for you but it’s not going to kill you.
If you don't consume 6 cans a day, it won't kill you. As everything else, everything in moderation. Fizzy drinks are meant to be treats, you're not supposed to consume 2liter of it a day. 😂
I am from Scotland. Irn Bru made in Scotland from Girders. Great hangover cures when eaten with a greasy rowie or pie
Not just Scotland got to enjoy these... UK did.
How dare you compare our beloved snowman advert to a redbull ad 🤬 😂. They took a classic British Christmas animation and made it their own...Twice
Go Scotland!! Our national drink 😂❤ btw, there are so many more ads that are brilliant. The one for Fiery Irn Bru is hilarious. There's a few for diet Irn Bru that are great too.
national soft (OK, non-alcoholic) drink, surely? :)
I thought the national drink was Buckys 😆
Some of the odd 90s ones were quite good too, my favourite had Elvis drive a Ford Capri through a car wash come out say "Thank ya very much" and the caption "sparkling" came up. I mean, not in the same league as the "gets you through" run but I liked the weirdness.
@@andyworthington283I do want to point out while it's very popular in Scotland, Bucky is actually English
I think itd be fun for the king to react to some scary/disturbing British PSAs, but I also don't want to be responsible for the dude been traumatised 😂
The first ever Irn Bru factory used to be in my home town of Falkirk in a little village known as Camelon. Also that is where the Falkirk Wheel is also that joins the forth and clyde and Union canals. Those adverts are gold.
Few people know that Irn Bru's secret recipe is kept at Area 51, next to the Ark of the Covenant and the Roswell spaceship.
Shhhhh. Deny everything.
For some reason I have strong memories that the push up bra advert was an Inbetweeners scene with Will's Mum and the boys. I guess it was just Irn Bru lol.
If you're able to, get the 1901 variant. The regular stuff had its sugar content reduced by the UK's sugar tax, and the 1901 is the closest you can currently get to the original taste.
Edinburgh based-lad here, my late uncle worked for the Barr soft drinks company at one point and he once gave us merch of an Irn Bru t-shirt and Tizer bum bag. I still continue to drink Irn Bru and these adverts always cracked me up.
Man said “tar tan huh oh its like our flannel” 😂😂😂💀
How little they know ..the 2 are not the same. 😂
im from the north east of england, in many ways were more like the scots than southern english, literally closer to edinbough than london by a long shot. always loved the bru and the adverts used to be class, back when people werent absolute yoghurts. it always baffles me when english people cant understand the scottish accent, then again a lot of southerners cant understand people from the north east
well no you would be closer to Glasgow then Edinburgh. I guess you live in Northumberland ?
@michaelhawkins7389 Still closer to Edinburgh than London. Your point is irrelevant.
@@michaelhawkins7389 What? The NE of England is clearly closer to Edinburgh than Glasgow
The North of England used to be Scotland
Anyone in NE England is closer to both Edinburgh and Glasgow than London by a huge amount, especially if you just look at the straight line distance. I don't know why that's such an issue.
greetings from Scotland! Lovedd this video man , great stuff 🎉...ps love your dog
irn bru "made from girders" tag line brought back so many memory`s from my childhood :)
It's made in Scotland from girders. Which are the huge metal pieces that hold up and make bridges and metal buildings, that's why it's called iron bru, it contains a wee bit of girders, metal.
FUN FACT: Scotland is the only country in the world where Irn Bru is more popular than Coke. 🏴🧡
Edit: I think it’s actually better than Coke.
I think coke changed its recipe. I used to be hooked on it but then it started teasing funky so I made a switch to pepsi with the occasional irn bru as a treat with a take away.
Not difficult. Coke is awful.
It was always beaten by Pepsi in proper taste challenges, mind you both of them were always beaten by RC Cola. The one with the most sugar always wins. Fun facts: All colas are a distant second to fizzy Guarana drinks throughout South America, Venezuela always drank more Pepsi than Coke, until their bottler switched sides overnight. Its all in the marketing, Coke see water as a "competitor for a share of stomach". Not a fan of Coca Cola having worked both with them and against them in my time.
The spelling is because of the strict advertising laws back when it was originally made, so they weren’t able to call it “Iron Brew” because it would be misleading, so they just spelled it differently.
Although you do get some copycat versions that are called Iron Brew.

That one with the tree is a parody of Weird Al Yankovic. I have been drinking Irn Bru my whole life, I love it but I have never seen an as for it. These are gold. Warning when you drink Irn Bru, it's bright orange but it is NOT orange flavoured. Nor is it ginger flavoured. It's a creaming soda.
The Snowman advert was based on the short film, "The Snowman" and there is a sequel advert to it. We hope for a third one.
Love the bit in the 80s advert(number 3)where the American hits the IRU-BRU machine and it gives him a Glasgow Kiss which anybody from Scotland knows what that is.
Great video! I had forgotten most of these adverts. Many thanks. Nice dog by the way. 😎👍
Scotland's favourite soft drink, even outselling coke!
I was on the Irn Bru UA-cam page and found even more funny adverts I'd never seen before, and I live in the UK.
Irn Bru ought to send you some, it really does taste very nice.
literally been following you for years and here we are talking about north lanarkshire, cumbernauld and bloody well irn-bru adverts.
ONE-OF-US, ONE-OF-US, ONE-OF-US! 😎😎
The guy in the school hi school musical ad. has gone on to a great career in films like Dunkirk and series like Slow Horse.. Slow horses is amazing.
These ads were shown all over the uk. The ad when the son caught his parents with another bloke behind the curtain, you missed that the son said to his mom, nice rug mum, he wasn't talking about the rug on the floor if you get what i mean lol.😂👌
I grew up on two things. Irn Bru and its adverts. Cracking little traipse down memory lane. I really hope you get to try a bottle, but if there are options and they have the 1901 variety. Get that, that's the original REAL Irn Bru.
Almost everyone new who tries it says the same thing normally, tastes like bubblegum. Tastes of home for me.
As a scot, the tv adverts arent even the best. My favourite is on the side of a bus, and its an old guy saying "i bought an irn bru in 1966, and i dont keep banging on about it" can never tire of a dig at the english 😂
Lmao 😂 Brilliant, I’ve never seen that!
I saw that in a paper up here. Made it a point not to mention 66
Yawn.
@@Tao_Tology Aye, that’s exactly how we feel mate.
As an Englishman I approve of that. That is brilliant
Irn-Bru, the common tagline is "made from girders" and it does contain at least a small proportion of Ammonium Ferric Citrate, a form of iron. That said, apparently in its history it had to change its name from "Iron Brew" due to food/drink labelling laws. That said, it's far more iconic having this name.
The fact that it's made by someone called Barr too, had to have something metallic involved.
The ironic thing is the law that made them change the name to Irn-Bru has long been retracted but they would not change back now that it is such a major brand. Any off brand imitations now call themselves "Iron-Brew" 🤣
Used to love Irn Bru, hope they change it back to how it was some day.
Irn bru energy in my opinion tastes like it did years back
Irn bru 1901 is the original. They changed it when the sugar tax came out but had to do irn bru 1901 cos of the complaints
@@80s_kid_80sonly people with certain taste buds can tell the difference
there is a new one out at the moment too lol, the snowman advert was taken from a xmas animation from 1982.
My friend in Maine calls me an irn bru dealer. I was in Maine for a year and took 6ltrs with me. Her family loves it and now i send it to them from Paisley.
You absolutely need to watch animation 'the snowman', which is shown traditionally at christmas to fully appreciate the snowman commercial for irn-bru. Also, when the vending machines attack those trying to get a can, it's a direct reference to men from Glasgow who have a reputation nutting people in the head if annoyed. Remember, IRN-BRU is made from girders!😅
Also watch ads for Tango...you know when you've been Tango'd
Hated the Tango ads, which culminated in them ruining the Regent Street Christmas decorations and rightfully getting it in the neck. Stupid company.
As a Scottish person, the new Irn-Bru adverts always get people talking. You defo have to watch the latest ones for the Euros ("Mannschaft" and "Cafe"), and the infamous Firey Irn-Bru "Ooh ya ars" ad too - they are all on the Irn-Bru YT channel to enjoy :) The billboard and newspaper ads are classics too!
Mannschaft was brilliant...but he's not a true Scot as he was wearing boxers 😂
I genuinely believe Barr have the best soft drink marketing team in the country. They have been delivering unforgettable adverts for decades.
I love the fanny one,it's brilliant 😂
We wash our faces with a flannel.
What do British call flannel?
In the UK, the terms face cloth or flannel are much more likely to be used to describe towels or cloths used to wash the face and body.3 Feb 2023
We call them flannels too
Try TANGO adverts next!
Its the Scottish hangover cure and is the only drink you can have with a chippy tea
Superb! 🤣😂🤣😂 Love from Scotland.
There is also the john west salmon ads and the Hamlet cigars ads.your shocked reactions were so funny .
1:15 Tartan. Ah yes the Scottish brother of Tarzan 😂
Lol thats what I was thinking
I live about as far south in the uk as you can get, Iron bru is Great👍
Although they wernt always funny 'Guiness' had some great ones back in the 90's always varied greatly......""Tick, follows tock, as the drummer drums his drum" {waves advert} Shaped my music tastes growing up.
P.S. You should def check out "Snowman" with the queen next x mass😉
I used to adore the old Guinness advert with Louis Armstrong’s ‘We Have All The Time In The World’, beautiful music and visually stunning as well (especially for its day). Very rarely do you get an ad that’s actually enjoyable rather than annoying! I think it’s available on UA-cam. 🙂
Irn Bru tastes kinda bubble gum orange cream soda. Also good mixer with vodka.
If you don't like ginger ale and whiskey you might like Irn Brew and whiskey instead. Especially with Bourbon, Scottish whiskey is already quite sweet as a rule.
I'm really glad I could wind that back! I thought you said Briss
You should watch derry girls it's the most hilarious show I've ever watched
Don't, Boomer, you're being trolled! It's so unfunny that the fact you won't be able to understand the acents in 90% of it makes it actually better!
@@welshgit I'm just recommending a show you don't need to be so judgemental if you don't think it's good
@@whovian1012 Sorry, I thought you were joking! 😳
I withdraw my comment. Still, I don't think boomer will understand the accent!
@@welshgit Yeah, but he can put on subtitles, I don't understand why you don't like it you should give it another shot
@@whovian1012 Fair enough, and I'll do you a deal. I've only seen one or 2 episodes. Suggest an episode to watch, and I promise I will watch it and report back honestly... Assuming I can find it, of course (I assume it's on channel 4's online service?)
IRN-Bru + vodka for the evening, IRN-Bru + pickled onion monster munch for the next morning hangover!
It was originally Iron Brew but trading standards had a branding problem with it as it didn't contain iron and wasn't brewed so was changed to Irn Bru
A long line of fanny's 🤣🤣🤣
The one where it says it’s not a drink by those crazy yanks I would sit up every weekend to watch this one .
Unpronounceable too😂
No.1 and 3 were brought out in the 80's and parodies Coca-Cola and Pepsi adverts from that time. Both Coca-Cola and Pepsi hired big stars most notably Michael Jackson to promote their product. The adverts were along the lines that drinking either products made life better like it was an elixir of happiness. There's a segment in No.3 where a guy does MJ's moonwalk which pulls up the paving stones because Irn Bru makes you strong.
#4 Wembley 66 was when England football team won at Wembley stadium! Hence, the dad being horrified.
I don't know why, but I suddenly want an Orange WKD
Fanny is my favourite advert 😅 It means something different to your rear end in America..These ads were on buses here .Billboards..love the stuff .Especially with Vodka and ice.Out sells Coca Cola in Scotland 🏴. The only country in the world .
Greetings from Glasgow 🎉
Some Publix carry them in the international section. I can get then here in Atlanta at 2 different Publix stores near me. Sometimes Indian grocers will carry it and also British specialty stores
Mate you nailed "Cumbernauld"
👏👏
The one with the dad reading Scottish stuff, the boyfriend is English, hence the England flag, football top and the dog named Wembley, not to mention the lads English accent. Playing on the rivalry between both countries
You and the Queen definitely need to get hold of some and try it if you can.
hi another scot here. If you are having an Irn Bru make sure its cold. Oh by the way in Scotland a fanny is females privates which makes it funnier 😂😂😂
You can get Irn Bru in most stores in the US, in the foreign section :)
Thinking The Snowman (1982) was ripping off Red Bull's (1987, Salzburg. 1994, UK. 1996, USA.) animation style might be the most American thing I'll hear this decade. Also a nice reminder I'm so very old now.
First! go Scotland!!
Iron brew and tunnocks tea cakes , the best things to come out of scotland
Irn Bru.. Best drink oot there... with its secret ingredients...its distinctive colour... its unique delicious flavour...manufactured a mile and a half up the road on the outskirts of Cumbernauld...right next door to the sewerage treatment plant...
these ads have won major awards
You need to see the irn bru advert for the 2024 world cup truly so many innuendos 😂
Trust me , with your sense of humour you would literally die laughing at the Tango adverts . It has to be a must on your list .It is the biggest muppetry in advert history until some were banned , which made them funnier
Some of the older ones are spoofing the Coke and Pepsi ads of the 80s that were a bit cheesy.
@11 minutes in: Is that the guy from Slow Horses (and also the Pilot in Dunkirk)? I'm googling 'Jack Lowden iron bru' and... yes it is! The Bru has been kind to him.
Number two animation is from a classic Xmas short movie the snowman and this is the first parody of two
Irn bru mannschaft advert is prob one of the best one yet. If you haven't seen it yet please give it a watch you will not be disappointed.
