Awesome advert

I'm putting this here rather than in the Funny Youtube Clips thread, because I think it's brilliant.

It's a T-Mobile advert. Not sure if you guys have come accross it yet. It's one of the very few adverts drawing on the upcoming Royal Wedding that hasn't made me gag :p Very funny.

Charlie Brooker talked about this on Thursday night.
I think he wanted to kill the people responsible.

I'm now torn and don't know what to think.
Please can someone tell me?!

I got it from him :p


I didnt' get the impression he wanted to kill the people responsible. I think he reserved his most visceral attack for the news coverage.

I don't care though. Mr Brooker and I will have to disagree (for a rarity) on this :p I thought it was fucking funny.

Lauren Laverne didn't agree with us about that Australian kid trying to kill the bully, did you see? It made me sad.

But yes, I really laughed at that American trailer he showed.
All those photos of Diana. Barf barf.

The plastic presenter was amazing. There was literally not a single natural feature on show.

I thought it was great. Loved it.

I am so anal. I watched 10 o'clock live AGAIN, just to catch the quote.
Well, it's hardly a chore.

In fact it wasn't Brooker (I stand corrected, sir!) it was Mitchell.

"So. The Monarchy. Well, I used to be a Monarchist, and then I saw the T-Mobile "Life is for Sharing" Royal Wedding dance routine viral and I realised that any institution that can induce that to exist must be evil. So I propose we get all the senior members of the Royal Family and the marketing executives of T-Mobile and machine gun them in the same cellar*."

* not likely to be this one

Now I know it's David Mitchell, I'm happy to like it again :)

Hahahaha.

I love Mitchell though. I think he's marvellous. But i don't find myself as firmly in agreement with him as I do with Brooker generally.

Genius!

Thanks for posting it!

boy... all wedding processions should be like that.

Love it. It would be Sooooooo cool if they really did that. So much fun.

I think if that was what it was, I'd watch it all lol.

Another awesome advert. This time from Volkswagen.

Yunno, how great is John Williams? How fucking great is that guy?

Awe inspiring.

I love this advert. It's simple but effective. Way to turn an internet meme to your advantage!

Another awesome advert.

This time advertising the National Lottery by showing where the money goes.

It's one for all you soldiers and ex-soldiers.

Good one. Kinda reminded me of a scene from "Saving Private Ryan"

Another excellent advert. It's not often car ads get me, but this is lovely.

One of my favorite songs, too!!!!!

Doesn't do it for me, despite the Brazil-ness. Pretty conventional, as car ads go, at least on this side of the pond. Maybe it's really special over there.

Sorry, Dana.
Do not likey.

In fact I'd be hard pressed to think of an advert I do like right now.
Where are all the great singalong ones?

I'll get back to you on that.

I think what I like about it is the depth of character in the animation. And I like the computer game setting. It appeals to me as a gamer, because it seems to be drawing on gaming tropes.

And that's where it leaves me cold ;)

Ha!

Wasn't there a moment during some Abba concert when a member of some royal family was dancing to "Dancing Queen"?
