Finally a decent Strongbow ad. After years of trying.
ALL BORING!!!!!
I noticed this trend too.
Also used in the Yorkie ad.
Westons one was shot by Ed Morris.
I think he did a very good job.
Some nice bits.
I think he did a good job too. The script is a bit 6/10 though. He also did a great job on our Drink Drive thing. Was all over it as only Ed can be.
The Strongbow ad is decent. Over-used Carl Orff soundtrack, but the blokes are really well cast. The ‘moments’ are well-observed (the letters falling off the speech are ace).
The multi-award-winning VB stuff works around the same thing of making normal things seem like a big deal. With our draconian drink advertising rules you can’t do much else these days. In the 80s a pint of bitter was basically muff velcro.
on the down side they make me want to curl up in a ball and die.
on the up side, i now realise i can suck my own dick.
Nothing new since the launch of real men of genius back in 1998.
it’s cos we’re all heroes, or cunts or both, except me whose just a cunt
and it’s fucking “who’s”, i can’t even get that right, am that much of a cunt
At least the carling heroes are a bit crap at what they do
At least carling has heroes that are a but crap at bring great
Is there an echo in here?
Or is it just me?
Not to bad, but still the same old be a hero crap. Only 20% as good as the beer ads coming out of Australia.
i think westons is shit, Strongbow me likes!
