Brilliant adverts we will never get to see
but thanks to youtube, its all possible!
Sick and tired of the usual lame TV adverts on Singapore telly featuring hmm..I don't watch much telly these days, but I'm sure it's not deviated much from that annoying Mopiko ad, or what about the lame pinkerton syndrome Carlsberg or was it Heineken ad featuring 4 ang moh guys being served by obsequious asian women?
I think Sony Bravia has got excellent ads. In Europe. That is. Here they are
This is from a couple of years ago where they flooded an entire street in San Francisco with a plethora of coloured rubber balls. Backed with a lovely soundtrack, this advert is simply breathtaking. The youtube advert really does not do it justice - for a better rendition, click here for the 180 sec version. Be warned tho, it takes ages to load but trust me... you will be mesmerized.
More recently, Sony held up to it promise of colour. like no other slogan with another terrific advertising campaign. Of course, we'll never get to see it on our local screens but its right here on youtube too!
I love this one too. Especially the scene of that clown running across the lawn like a maniac. Its pure genius how they managed to get hold of a building slated for demolition and turn it into a backdrop for this amazingly fun (and messy) advertisment. And drives home the point they are trying to make with their product too.
And so, we are stuck with fainting hong yu bottles, a very auntie looking Jessica Alba flogging Tiger beer and anyone seen that horrid cheesy advert with the guy shooting down the sun so he can dry his clothes indoors?!?! Kill me please and no.. don't resuscitate me with hong yu.
Update: M just told me that balls was shown on cable TV. Really? I don't have cable though.

L told me about this very funny Japanese ad featuring this bunch of submarine crew members air-drying their laundry above their (surfaced) submarine, only to be bombed from above. The tagline: "Tops - Indoor Drying"! Couldn't find it though.
I just watched this Skoda advert in which an entire Skoda was made out of cake!
@eveline I saw that commercial on tv. It was funny! Hehehe.
Yeah.. the japanese washing powder ad is so much better than the other one. Anyone seen it?
I saw the skoda ad too.. It just made me hungry... :)
Currently one air is one by M1. Delivery from Mumbai to Singapore? I'd like to see that happening one day! :P
U should check out the "oscars" for the ad industry. I caught it once a few years ago and I can still remember two of the best ads showcased. One was for Nike, and it begins with bed springs moving up and down and grunting sounds, only to show a guy jumping on the bed to reach for his sneakers stuck on the ceiling fan.
The other is about milk; how this guys was stuffing his face with cookies and then kenna call from a tv contest show in which he's the lucky caller chosen to win the grand prize. But he couldn't talk since his mouth was all stuffed and was desperately looking for milk. Needless to say, they thought they got the wrong number and hung up on him. The tagline? "Need Milk?"
