Best 2009 Advert already?!?! by bobby2000 on 01-18-2009 at 01:24 PM
On january 15th, 350 dancers took centre stage in liverpool street station at 11am to create possibly the best advert, not just of 2009, but EVER.

i read about that in the paper. there were no events anywhere like that in england, probably because of the confusion it could cause...

Whoa! Amazing comercial. Was it prepared for, though?
RE: Best 2009 Advert already?!?! by Spunky on 01-18-2009 at 06:35 PM
Amazing? The idea has been done before and the whole thing is just boring.
The Cadbury adverts where better than that for a start.

Agreed.....the advert was average at best.....but to be honest, it's just jumping on a bandwagon.
Flashmobbing is OLD OLD OLD news.....so making an advert out of it is kinda lame.
I think the only thing gayer is those Apple adverts that try to sell Mac products by bashing Windows
Cadbury's Gorilla all the way.
Although for any football fans this is brilliant
RE: Best 2009 Advert already?!?! by James Potter on 01-18-2009 at 08:54 PM
Well, DJ Danny,
For a start, I do not watch advertisements, do not really care about them. Thus, I had the expression "amazing" in mind when watching this. It is the first time for me to watch a commercial of this kind. Oh and the Gorilla ad is cool too.

Quite frankly, I agree with most of the negative comments in this thread. It's not horrifyingly new and it's getting overused.
I believe the worst part is that they didn't even manage to get out the real "point" of it, even with so many people calling and communicating.

As in, will do the dinner, drinks, let her do whatever she wants... totally selfless. Then you get whatever you want in return

Couldn't agree more.
I really do not see whats so good about this. It is quite boring and not very original. Not the type of advert I see and I'm like... wow!
