'...incredible public support with many people calling and writing to Supercheap Auto’s headquarters to say how much they enjoy the new commercials'.
What I find incredibe is that anyone other than the creative team, would write in to applaud such work. I can't believe ordinary people in Oz or NZ enjoy seeing a Dad who is a selfish bastard. Does anyone on this blog find them in the slightest bit amusing? Or for that matter good ads? Perhaps it's because I'm a Dad, but they leave me cold.
The ad is wallpaper. Not well written, not well shot, not well anything. The best thing about it is the jingle. How it found its way on here is beyond me.
As in this entire industry, most of the work that is recognised is done by a small group of people who scratch each other's backs. Not to say for one second that this ad is award material, but the point holds. The fact that it is even on here goes to show that it's not what, but who you know in this business.
Has anyone noticed the similarity between Placebo's "Pure Morning" and the music on Vodafone's "Best Friends" ad? Or is that just completely obvious.... methinks a lawsuit is round the corner... instead of a "soundalike" it seems they got a "soundthesame".
