International Commercials

Many of our sections have used commercials as a means of portraying cultural differences, business practices, and language peculiarities. We are always on the look out for great foreign commercial sites. One we recently came across is Ad Eaters. Most of the ads are from the 1990s, with a few from 2000-2001. Nevertheless, it proves to be a great resource as it the Video Library is searchable by country, year, brand, theme, and more. Be sure to check the whole list if you do not see the country you need - it has a weird organization. For example, the United States is filed under Etats-Unis (French), but Spain is filed under the English, "Spain." The site also has 5 advertisements from the Soviet Union, filed under URSS.
