Sir John Toilet Factor, Mr Toots, Game Boy, Evil SantaThat was some funny shit Mr Saussey
Yeah good. Nice use of a good kiwi icon. We used to sing that song at primary school
Bloody funny! Nice one Steve
Christ, what century is this from?
I like the gags, didnt notice them all the first time I watched it.
3.03 Christ, what industry do you work in? Maybe if they cut an ‘Artic Monkey’s track to it, you might get it!
4:34 The same industry as you, but in the year 2007 not 1987.
3.03 Sadly way over your head, numbnuts. This is one funny ad!
Mediocre at best.
It’s a good idea, well directed. Well done all.
Great ad for market. Will work very well.Well done to a small agency.Good on the barnes team, great follow up to new subaru TVC.Breath of fresh air. Well shoot also.Someone understands life on the kiwi farm.SignedThenumbersman.
I can’t believe everyone here that’s praising this ad. A sing along pastiche hasn’t been an idea since 1991.
… with the exception of ‘Big Ad.’
Hi all, thanks for the nice comments, full credit to the Film Construction mob for making our affectionate tribute to el-cheapo 70’s TV comedy happen.
