CCS · 1st July 2008, 19:50

In the Air Tonight is the song... but yes, I empathise with you. I truly do not understand what the ad has to do with a fricken chocolate bar.

Yep.

Saw it last night and my wife turned to me and went "What. The. Fuck?"
I just shrugged. "Your guess is as good as mine"

DrTiTus · 1st July 2008, 20:23

Cadbury you say?

*goes out and buys immediately due to the discussion the ad has encouraged*

StN · 1st July 2008, 20:31

This version is less abrasive, and silent due to music rights issues...

zeekiorage · 1st July 2008, 20:36

I just listened to that Phil Collins song again and no there is no connection or any link with the freaking gorilla or chocolate in the lyrics. Unless Cadbury thinks Collins looks like a gorilla. Fucking marketing baboons.

Mickey · 1st July 2008, 20:51

Heh, the ad is working well then, you're all discussing cadbury.

CCS · 1st July 2008, 20:56

Yeah, we're discussing it, but I don't feel any more inclined to buy the product than before the ad.

I *think* it's the bit at the end that's meant to make it relevant.
"A glass and a half full of joy"

Or something.

Ah...bollocks...I got nothing.

StN · 1st July 2008, 23:34

And that's why the "2 cups full" one is better. According to Wiki, Cadbury was in the crap last year after some Selmonella drama, got fined 1 million pounds and needed to pick up consumer confidence. They dropped Coronation Street as a partner, and decided to go with uplifting video stuff to try and resurrect the brand. Or something.

2 girls 1 cup as a Cadbury's ad? Yeah, I see it.

Unfortunately.

It's uhh... it's uhh.... advertising say what again?

Oh... chocolate?

Mmm... sorry; what was it again?

StN · 2nd July 2008, 08:19

Didn't see your post; it's almost better without the music as well... I can play my wav sample of Alexei Sayle saying "Bouncy! Bouncy!" when I watch it.

and overnight deliveries that Courierpost rape your wallet for that take 3 days.
Headed down to the post office shortly to get the difference between overnight and normal postage back. (CGA..and no they can't quote force majour, there haven't been any issues with South Island transport since Saturday)
3 days is NOT overnight so don't charge for it dickheads.

In the Air Tonight... cadbury ads... etc.

speaking of the above, there was an ad on a few years ago for cadbury continental, had a song that i loved on it, along the lines of....

"i couldnt laugh, i couldnt cry, i couldnt let this moment pass byyyyyyy.....
its plain to see, it was meant to be, call it continental."

now, does anyone know if this song was made for the ad in question, or is it really really old? it sounded a lot like sinatra, but i havent been able to find anything about it.

I noticed it was Allegra's birthday the other day.

She used to grind many things.

The fact that not only has the washing line and back fence gone kaputt, but the video card in acidfang's pc "malfunctioned" the other night, frying all the parts. And AMI have had their pc guy look at it, and now refuse to cover it because "maybe something was plugged in wrong, or maybe you were running too many hard drives" #*(@%$^#!())#&^!%#^$@! Far out it sucks when you know more than the so-called "experts". Here's hoping that Ascent *smiles at Madmax* come to the party, because that pc was built from scratch 18 months ago.
