Americans React to | TOP 10: MOST EFFECTIVE BRITISH ADVERTS | StayingOffTopic

May I suggest you read, watch and listen a bit more!

Should the title of this be changed to 'Americans have British Adverts Explained To Them'?

I found it interesting and worrying that as hard hitting as these adverts were our American friends needed it explaining to them because they didn't get it!? They are so guarded from life with American media helping to shape a Disneyland theme park lifestyle as oppose to the truth. At least here in Britain we are taught that truth hurts - I think that's why other countries can find us abrupt, we tell it like it is we aren't Willy Wonka, we wont sugar coat or wrap it up in a big red bow!

Ignoring it is a very American way of thinking about stuff.

In Britain we do not expect to be mollycoddled . Brutal truth. Irony. Sarcasm. Its all in our vocabulary.

Some of this was painful to watch and not because of the adverts

Shut up and listen and watch tobthe end before you comment ir ask questions and I dont understand why they have to be explained in such detail they are self-explanatory

Thank goodness you were there to explain what things mean to them😂 wow.....

The instant face of recognition from the British guy shows EXACTLY how effective these ads were

It seems like you have to explain every advert to the typical American’s who don’t have a clue about what’s going on, and over analyse everything.

I am completely first aid trained and yet when my autistic daughter got trapped in her highchair in a position that was suffocating her I was a mess couldn't think I was just panicking and making things worse all my training went out the window and 999 had to be called fire and rescue came and we're immediately able to free her because they were calm and not attached to the child. I felt so ashamed that I couldn't help my daughter at that time I was terrified but when she saw me it made her worse. Most scary moment of my life, I could be the best medic in the world but still in that moment I was useless

A shame they had to interrupt all the time sometimes missing the point of the advert!!

Your demeanor at the start of the video was in stark contrast to the end. Your shock was all over your faces and, at least, you kept quiet and actually watched and learned.

Their Lack of a basic ability to watch and not talk over it until the end speaks volumes about their attention spans.

I actually think the silence (although the original broadcast had sound) makes that Ad even more powerful!

Anyone notice that the sex trafficking actress was Emma Thompson?

When describing terraced houses he says, they are well old, built in like the 1970s. try 1870s, some even 1770s. Even older, there are towns with Terraces older than the USA.

I'm now in my 50's & I can still remember the old 70's & 80's UK Government PSA adverts. They were hard hitting, but the more up-to-date ones are truly on another level. They are made with the full intention of shocking you & making the advert stick in your mind for a long time. Very powerful, very hard hitting & straight to point.

Why do Americans need simple things like this explaining to them?

While in the US breaking someone's rib while saving their life could end you up in court for causing harm, the rest of the world has more common sense and people are aware that out of the two, healing from a broken rib or two is better than putting on a wooden overcoat.
