It's about making you notice it. Job done, eh!

[echokilo]

I realise that - that's the aim of all advertising, but at least the gorilla was amusing, what's entertaining about trusks and suitcases?

I dont think its about the trucks and luggage as such, i think its about just having such a space to drive as fast as you want, race and just totally be a guy with your fav transport, glass and a half enjoyment, does that make any sense ?

[echokilo]

Yes, I guess it does .... was looking for some sort of deep symbolism which isn't there!!

[kempie]

It's your own fault really. The viewing public have given encouragement to advertisers to create commercials with no discernible link to the product by praising such drivel as the "gorilla" ad.

[echokilo]

That's your opinion Kempie - I thought it was quite entertaining personally , but each to their own.

[kempie]

It certainly was entertaining, and as a piece of filmed entertainment it stands on its own merit, but as an advert it fails on so many levels.

It is forever known as the "Cadbury Gorilla" advert - fine if it was meant as an exercise in brand awareness - but what percentage of the public actually remember it was an advert for Dairy Milk?

You have also called this newest ad "Cadbury"; no mention of the actual product it is meant to increase the sale of.

[echokilo]

It's dairy mik too - obvioulsy as it refers to a glass and a half ...................

[kempie]

...indeed so obvious that the advertising creatives have no need to make a commercial with any bearing to the product. So what was your original question again?

I think its meant to be a behind-the-scenes of Heathrow Airport's new Terminal 5:

I have Don't stop me now as my ringtone so everytime the advert comes on and I'm in the kitchen I think it's my phone ringing.
