I saw caught this ad on the tele last night. It's kinda cute and it rocks along , but there's just one thing.......
IT'S A DIRECT RIP OFF OF FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS! (Who bill themselves as "Formerly New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo accapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo") The presenter of the ad is a dead ringer for Murray, except Murray is a ginga without the glasses.
(Warning: the clip contains the last ep of the second series,so don't watch if you don't want to know where they end up.)
I'm sorry, but if you're going to throw many many thousands of dollars at an ad agency, surely it would be to come up with an original idea?
Somehow I'm thinking that the saying 'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery' doesn't quite cut the mustard here.
