The most disturbing TV advert ever!!

[boyner]

OK, so here i am watching the Smartest kids in the world in Channel 4 and during the break there is a new cadburys advert - you know the one... Two kids sat in front of a photographers sheet, then the muzac starts and their eyebrows start giving it heaps.. Is it just me or does anyone else find this ad very disturbing?

Weird!?!?!?

cheers

Do you work for their ad agency?

Not that I'm cynical or anything...

It's like Cadburys have mistaken a crack and LSD addled junkie tramp for their advertising consultant and he's just taken advantage of them.

Cadburys exec: 'We need something groundbreaking and we've approached your company for ideas. What can you do for us?'

Junkie tramp: 'Yeah, like, kids with waggly eyes an sum sort of sinfysizer music, all sort of wagglin to the music and that. Big drummer monkey golrilla wi Phil Collins music. Racin trucks wot you ave at airports, but yer cant see't dwivers, like in that film wi Milio Estefez from't eighties. Proper wizard. Got any ciggies mate?'.

that'll be the work of Juan Cabral
tt of the year IMO... the last one with the vehicles on the airport runway was pathetic in the extreme, just terrible direction IMO. He should stick to ideas.

The Ribina ad i just saw was a bit odd, stuff that looked like blood everywhere

I think they're st as well. Bears all the hallmarks of a junior brand manager du jour having been taken in by the planners at the ad agency.

And I quote:

"Laurence Green, planning director of Fallon, the advertising agency behind the ad said: "Chocolate is about joy and pleasure. For years Cadbury has told us that it was generous, through the glass and a half strap line. We thought, don't tell us how generous you are; show us. Don't tell us about joy; show us joy."

[jackal]

juan is the creative director though of the agency and they all thionk the sun shines out of his behind

he's a talented guy, no doubt about it (Sony balls and Sony paint were genius)
i've handled some of his treatments and ideas as all his work gets put through my old company

but all the signs are that he should stick to writing and not directing
the Gorilla was kind of a conceptual masterstroke in a dying age of TV adevrtising but since then its all gone a bit embarrasing IMO

Can't say I'm a big fan of that sex and the stty one.

You know, the with the SATC-alike women sat round the table discussing stool softeners like they're the latest must have fashion accessory.

"Christ almighty girls! Just been to the kronker and I'll be darned if it feels like someones emptied half a ton of Blue Circle cement up me jacksy."

"Try this. It'll see you right in no time. Loosened me up in an hour, like farm slurry it was. fking brilliant"

Or something like that...
