Dudes... I just saw this ON TV (then found it on youtube) and I've been laughing my ass off ALL NIGHT... I still can't believe this is on the air. It's brilliantly tacky... and on national TV... and is almost enough that I wonder if this thread will last?

 

[Terry_Lasater]

Yup, seen it. I found it more intriguing than funny. Amazing what is allowed on prime time 'network' television compared to when I was but a wee lad.

 

[CallaghanFilms]

Nicely done...

I am just surprised one of the birds didn't walk by one of these numbers:

 

[Drew Ott]

Bush.


edit - Yeah, amazing that that is on TV. I wonder if the advertisement is successful.

 

[Blaine]

I hadn't seen it but trimming those bushes was quite clever. :grin:

 

[Blade Borge]

I don't get it.

 

[MattinSTL]

All the shrubs are even in the same plane... man...

What really gets me are the last few shapes that they chose... I mean... c'mon... (I'm smiling ear to ear right now)...

 

[Matt Grunau]

I think it's brilliant.

Took a little while to get the gist of it because I was looking at the morphing effect on the bushes and trying to figure out how it was done. I was so into the visual part of it, I missed the meaning completely, then had a hard time getting back to just "viewing" mode to digest content.


Very well done.




ps. and encouraged.

 

[Charli]

Subtext - love it.

 

[William_Robinette]

I'm all for having a spot of fun with commercials.

 

[Batutta]

Ha! Nice. I especially like the V shaped bush.

 

[Simon Höfer]

I'm German. I guess that explains why I am not wondering why this is shown on TV. You'd be amazed what is running on TV here.

But nevertheless, nice find Matt! Funny commercial!

 

[Simon Höfer]

WTF?

usually razor blade ads are absolute garbage.

but yeah, this ones sweet

 

[JConnors]

I've got a fantastic idea for razor blade.....ready for it?.....8 blades!!!

 

[Jon Starr]

Maybe it's because I'm from Montreal, but I'm not all too surprised this would be on the air.

Don't you guys have those silly male enhancement ads on the radio that say "it'll help you RISE to the occasion" and condom commercials during the daytime? Or is that just here?

You mean Extenze? The male enhancment pill that helps with "Confidence" down there!!!!

Our TV tends to be a little more easy going when it comes to swearing and nudity. CBC and CTV will have unedited stuff on all the time.

For how old target group is this commercial? Probably over 40.
But what I know I'm from Europe.

 

[Matt Gottshalk]

Cool, but kind of tame when you consider some of the ads that run in Europe.

 

[MattinSTL]

Ha! Nice. I especially like the V shaped bush.

I like the bush just before that one... the "strip"... it's the Frank Lloyd Wright of bushes... to be sure. It's of busholithic proportions... just right... you know... for shrubbery.
