TV ads

[Wongo]

A lot of them are very clever, very funny but some of them are just…..

For example,

1. This one is about some sort of furniture factory outlet and the guy just full on shouting the whole 30 seconds. I could not hear anything he said except the last word “Homebushhhhhhhh”.

2. Carlton draught. It goes like this “A mans got to win and to win he needs a canoe…” ?? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Over to you champs.

I like the Carlton Draught ad that goes something like:

Carlton Draught. Made from... lovely hops and brewed in... big, metal things. Carted around by... horses, and poured into... sideways glasses. Carlton Draught, made from beer.

It's a p!ss-take of the crap they go on about in TV ads - it sounds like the guy is making it up as he goes along. The canoe one I've only seen once but it's just meant to be ridiculous, thereby making it stand out from all the other ads I suppose.

I actually drink the stuff every now and then. Not as bad a Tooheys New but worse than VB. ;)

That Carlton ad is a classic. Brilliant. Makes me want to go out and buy a slab of Coopers to drink while I enjoy the annoying dozen or so reruns of the same ad through the evening.

Another good beer ad is a Coopers one. It shows a car load of Victorians driving across a featureless plain (looks a lot like the Hay Plain) and bitterly berating one of their member - the bloke who suggested they come to this dead state of SA. They turn around to go home - the South Aussies have lined the road with bill boards painted to look like a featureless plain so that the Vics can's see what's really here and how much fun we're having. The final shot is the poor sod who suggested the trip looking out the back window of the car at a football that's just appeared from nowhere (sailed over the billboards).
Funny thing is, it's true :D :D

My sisters sometimes get together and sing ads from the seventies - they can string a 20 minute set together without repeating themselves. Sick, sick, sick. Don't get it from their brother.

Obviously an ad only shown in SA. Or so you would have us believe, for I happen to know that they don't have TV in SA. You confessed to that on another thread!!!

Wongo, here you go:


This TV campaign for Carlton Draught, came out of the brand theme: that Carlton Draught is a good, honest, real beer, say Ant Keogh and Grant Rutherford from George Patterson Partners agency. "We already had the line, 'made from beer' which we felt was a good way of expressing that," Keogh says. "So, we were sitting around thinking about notions of 'true' and 'real' which led us to think about the opposite: stereotypes of men which only really seem to exist on TV, not in the real world. Basically, we just started making fun of stuff we thought was a load of old nonsense. We started writing one of those overblown voiceovers that you hear in certain types of ads for men's products. We got to the bit about, 'A man needs to win, to get on top and stay there, and you can't do that without ...' and we then started thinking about the ultimate male business accessory; something even more impressive than a Palm Pilot, a canoe!"

There is a career for you and me in marketing. Don’t you think? :D
