Orange Man was the first of Tango advertisements produced by HHCL, who would work with the brand for many years after, and is now credited as the first of the brand's controversies, as later advertisements for the brand were also banned; in 2000 a "Tango Megaphone" advertisement was banned for fears it provoked bullying. This advertisement also had a replacement advert produced, the first time Tango had done this since Orange Man, although this was not an altered version of the original "Tango Megaphone" advertisement, but instead a short advertisement satirising the ban. Orange Man is considered one of two definitive Tango television advertisements, alongside St George, also produced by HHCL, which aired in 1996 in promotion of the brand's Blackcurrant variant, and is the only Tango advertisement besides Orange Man to feature in lists of the best television advertisements of all time.
