"bound for awards glory" - I thought the shithouse category was dropped this year?
Erm, take away the fact that it was made by God himself, isn't it another ad from the 'niggling doubt' school of advertising?
You can visualise pretty well anything, your inner child, your niggling doubt, your enthusiasm.. mornings. The list really does go on and on.
Fucking great direction though. Steve's awesome.
Problem is that the ad itself is utterly intolerable.
I can't wait until the end, then the pay off is no reward. Have all the yellow bastards been drinking Folgers?
Not very good is it? Although i hear that the US marketers are even worse than ours, so they're probably happy just to get something through!
Hundreds of thousands of people went to see 'Big Momma's House 2.'
Doesn't mean it's 'bound for awards glory.'
Somone else had that idea up on the wall at the AWARD school graduation.
Same guys 3:41
They were in my tutor group - top blokes. Good luck to them I say.
Seems a lot like Starbucks Glen to me, but not as funny.
Amazing effects though.
My Journal, Leo
Today I made and ad, not one of my best, not one of my last as I'm only 28.
Also, was made ECD of Saatchi's NY, so that's nice.
Went to bed and slept very well.
This ad proves that the big boys in advertising do shit ads too, albeit with a bigger budget then us mortals.
The ad's great, and it's an excellent insight. How Leo and the Saatchi mob got P&G to agree that their target audience was hungover adolescents is beyond me, but more power to them!
um, it's fucking awful.not enough funny bits to make the horribly camp yellow fuckers bearable.ahh well, good to know that even the wunderkind uber creator of advertising is human.
Not as good as the Starbucks Bring on the Day spot
I thought the insight was going to be that people who need their morning coffee hate chirpy morning people. I was waiting for a funny twist.
You fuckers know shit!
Can't wait for it to pick up at award shows to prove how wrong you insecure hacks are.
Nice insight, great direction and made me laugh.
please let me sleep. would drive me effening mad after the second viewing
9.21: That is the insight you twat.
I love this ad. For real.
4:29, Leo doesn't sleep.
Another feeble one, I'm afraid boys.
They've done some BRILLIANT work but this ain't it by a million miles.
They say judge a CD by his worst ad not his best....could be trouble ahead, boys.
2:06 AM. If we're judging CD's by their worst ad they'd all be totally fucked.
"They say judge a CD by his worst ad not his best....could be trouble ahead, boys."
Disregarding my doubts about who "they" might be, if this is Leo's worst ad, it's a billion times better than most CD's worst. And I'd include Droga in that assessment.
So it looks like Leo's going to do mighty well. Unless of course the quote above is actually a completely false pile of twaddle.
btw, is this the reason leo chose 'cougar' as his best ad over the victoria tvc? hello, the latter is WAY better.
you mean the ball of string ad? Pretty plonky tune over pretty girls roling balls of string is dull as dish water, give me spaced out sun people any day.
