Every Advert in 1999

Truly, it was a golden age.

[ronoc]

Don't forget those "keep Princess Diana, the people's princess, in your heart forever... with this new commemorative dinner plate set!"

[Loonistrator]

"The Dirty Scone" was my favourite book from the Twat series.

[sirreginaldfishingtonxvii]

"Tvätt" means "wash" in Swedish.
Not sure if it was intentional but uhh... Not too far off, all things considered!

[stykytte]

Harry Bludgeon still making adverts all these years later.

[GroovingPict]

Twat & The Dirty Scone are my favourite 60s psychedelic group

[Space_Kalak]

Oh yes, I remember seeing this one growing up. It was always on during the ad breaks of Crumbly Pipes reruns on ITV4

[nathanmcgill]

This is an important chapter in Britain's rich cultural tapestry

[TheKingMgee]

There's something about that look of panic and existential fear in the last second that really does it for me.

[CaptainLuckyLuke]

The camera left running for a second or two too long at the end was just perfect. I remember so many ads in the 90’s that ended with such awkwardness.

[WilCornish]

I worked for Hastings Direct in the oughts. That phone number gave me a flashback.

[icecoldjr]

I said you buy one you get one free, I said you buy one you get one free

[emordnilap]

'Calls will be recorded for creepy purposes.'
Gotta love all the layers in many of ABK's jokes.

[Hositrugun]

The phone number ending in 1066 was a pretty clever touch.

Also, the boom mic being visible *just* briefly enough that it looks like an actual mistake.

[Jotari]

There is a dark and foreboding stare at the end filled with a great sense of doubt, shame, horror and fear. I do not know it's reason, but I fear it. Truly, I do.

[jodders]

I remember writing a strongly worded email each to the 'Go Compare' people and the makers of Cillit Bang to register my disgust at their adverts and the sheer volume those adverts played at! I was in my 20's practicing being an old curmudgeon. 20 something years later I have perfected the art!

[Shazbut]

I like the blue sky and clouds background. Reminds me of freedom

[andycontento]

Cheers ABK. That was very accurately portrayed. I was born in 1968 and remember many of those style ads. 👌👌👌👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣

[PeTTsn]

Welcome to Scandinavia, we actually use Twätmedel (close enough) when doing laundry.

[Asparagoose]

Just so you know, as ABK did not specify (not literally) in his video title, this was, in fact, every advert in 1999. They didn't make very many that year

[realGeorgelucas]

All it's missing is a mascot item or character like a red bulldog on wheels and a jingle that matches the phone number. And to all be for a country you don't actually live in.
