Chaser channels the Old Spice guy
The Old Spice guy – or The Chaser’s version of him – makes an appearance on the ABC’s Yes We Canberra tonight.
The Chaser repurposes the Wieden + Kennedy-created ad to focus on the issue of both major parties’ attitude to gay marriage. The original won the Film Grand Prix at this year’s Cannes Advertising Festival.
A creative who only wants his ads to win awards (as opposed to meeting a clients brief, getting good results and doing their job properly) is like the footballer who only wants to kick the goal of the year (as opposed to help his team win games) … a pr1ck
A little bit of jealousy there from Berlusconi perhaps… not sure if he’s jealous of the ad or the guy it stars!!!
Gotta love the use of NetScape and Alta Vista! (Someone please explain them to TA if you get a chance.)
Berlusconi… The Old Spice advert has had a markedly large increase in sales for the product, as well as winning awards. 17%, i think, although i dont have time to chase it up.
