Tango - Come on then Sebastian!

Newest Review: ... him, and music is faintly playing. It used to be only at this point that you would fully recognise the advert, and slowly smile as you knew what was going to follow. Ray gradually gets more and more agitated, as he smoothly makes the transition from businessman to boxer. The scene changes smoothly too, as Ray first walks from a corporate business site and ends up marching and then jogging into a boxing ring beside some white cliffs (thought to be at Dover). However it is not the smooth changes in clothing and scenery that made this advert memorable, it was the dialogue. Passionate and angry in his defence of Blackcurrant Tango, Gardner... more

Even to this day I am not sure exactly what it was about this advert that made it so popular among myself and my friends, but it is still an advert I look back at with great affection. It was seemingly based within Tango headquarters, with a grainy picture of Mr Gardner reading a letter of complaint from a young French exchange student called Sebastian. The complaint? That Blackcurrant Tango was not as nice as the other Tango flavours. Ray apologises in a seemingly normal manner, before beginning an epic riposte. He describes how passionately he feels about Blackcurrant Tango, and introduces Geoff, who has been working on Blackcurrant Tango for three ... Read the complete review

When the ad starts, a corporate exec is sitting in an office giving what would appear to be a straight faced apology in response to a complaint form someone called sebastian. but he doesn't apologise, in fact he starts getting quite annoyed, pointing out several stereotypes of the background from which he assumes sebastian is from (ie he starts taking the mickey) from there, the scene then develops into a boxing/wrestling ring where the exec issues a challenge to sebastian and anyone else who doesn't like tango. When i first saw this add, for the first few seconds i actually thought that he was going to apologise, but as i realised what ... Read the complete review

Tango, very well known for their crazy adverts, started advertising Blackcurrant Tango. And MY GOD what an advert this was! For those of you who don’t quite remember, it involved an executive for Tango receiving a complaint from someone named ‘Sebastian’, saying how he didn’t quite like the taste of Blackcurrant Tango. The ad started with the executive in his office, talking about the complaint he received. This exec then got up, kept on talking (tone of voice changing), saying how he disagrees with Sebastian, and how Sebastian isn’t really a very good person. Suddenly this exec is removing all his clothes, talking in an angry tone ... Read the complete review
