It's James Hurman!

Which agency did it? I had a chuckle at the M. Jackson one. It reminds me a lot of that campaign that Penny Buck and Jane Shearer did for a costume shop while at Colenso in the late 90s.

If thats the state of the creative industry - god help us.

Actually, they're quite funny.
Nice one.
10:40 am NZST

10:58 am NZST

I liked the Michael Jackson spot. Ashame that mum was there...

Ben Pegler. They were a favour for a mate.

Whoever did them needs to read a lot about how to finish an ad professionally. I've seen some ads shot on digi-cam that look very polished. These ads however look like they were filmed and sound edited by someone who graduated in 'film studies' from Southland Polytechnic.

Good point. There are even a few free filters for iMovie that produce a better result.
In fact - an interesting way of grading if you don't have any cash is to master straight to VHS then suck it back into your mac and spit it out as your quicktime viral. At the very least you won't get that cold unfriendly dv feel.

I agree with 'S', whoever he/she is.
All they need is a good grade, a proper sound job, and a long session on the edit machine.

Thanks Jello, I know who YOU are.

Should have used a director at least.
3:05 pm NZST
I thought it was the child snatcher from chitty chitty bang bang
3:12 pm NZST
Does Hurman really need a costume to scare kids?
3:21 pm NZST
kinda funny, the line could be better, shite production. looks like lowe are trying to find scam clients to do half decent work for. by the way, anyone know those two catmur hired? the ginger looks like a 'classic' bugger.
4:02 pm NZST
Er, they did use a director...
4:22 pm NZST
I like it. Rip me to shreds.
5:33 pm NZST
So, who did it again? It's one of the worst cases of scam I've seen in ages. Close to the all time worst scam done by McCann's with Neil our IT guy dressed up as a pedo vicar in some guys' bedroom.
5:55 pm NZST
It's just so rubbish when agencies like Lowe, Saatchis, Mojo, Colenso, MTC, Ogilvy, Clemenger, Y&R, JWT, DDB, Grey, WRC and M&C do this sort of scammy thing.

This is one of the worst cases of spam I've seen in ages: http://www.fridgemagnet.org.uk/images/photos/mobile/Spam.jpg

They're funny and if they looked polished we'd all say how could a costume company afford it bla bla.
You get the ideas and they make you laugh. Job done.
Beats that well polished predictable butt cheek thing from a while ago hands down.
10:57 am NZST
jesus, were those done by the stock boy at the costume shop? sorry, but those are embarassingly bad.
2:35 pm NZST
dont insult the stock boy.
by far the worst commercials ive seen from New Zealand all year!!!
4:34 pm NZST
The pig and the exorcist are bloody funny. The other ideas are better than the executions.
6:48 pm NZST
Can you explain how making viral ads for a costume companie's website will destroy NZ advertising.
Go on elaborate. Seriously.

hey shitwits who made this crap - this sort of shit gives nz advertising a bad name. Stop doing it. you'll kill the industry. serious.

Dear whoever you are, you should realise that your consistant lack of capitalisation reveals that you're just having a conversation with yourself.
5:02 pm NZST
Dear Whoever YOU are. I wrote the stockboy comMent and DIDn't wRite the oTher two. MAYbe now that I am USING some Caps you will beliEVE that I genuinely think YOUR ads suck.
Nice one sherlock.

I don't get it. If I was with my kid and saw MJ, I would be like:
"Hey MJ, have you met my son? Check out his blonde hair and big blue eyes."
Ka-ching! Next thing you know, I'm fucking rich, my son might be a little fucked up, but I can afford the therapy anyway.
It's so lame that people don't look for opportunites in situations like this. That would have been gold mother fuckers.
2:32 pm NZST
Yeah, fair enough.
I also wonder why the priest isn't molesting the child. Now that would be real.
2:37 pm NZST
what ever, I really 'got' this, then I really 'got' AIDS

I went to a couple of ddb's Friday meetings. James rammed very expensive international ads down everyones throats for wayyyyy too long. If this was you James, now you know it just isn't that easy, even a million dollar production budget wouldn't save these. David Bell would have given us the strap for this.
9:08 pm NZST
Maddocks?
12:18 pm NZST
I'm glad they don't do ads like that for me.
8:13 pm NZST
To make crap. Take an average junior planner, add an average agency and a creative trying desperately not to disappear down the gurgler. Not exactly a product truth either, First Scene outfits are complete pants.
Try doing good ads, for real clients.
