explicit and doesn't take itself seriously. I like it ! Just a question: couldn't the background have been another colour, a bit less gloomy ?

I ask myself the same question. Although I do enjoy the execution.

JFDreamer's picture 174 pencils

It's the same idea as the Lycra one. Like it better though for the illustration and the odds that his better wearing a BandAind rather than spandex.

That image makes me wonder....what does the Hulk use to trim his nails with his own teeth or does he have Chuck Norris use a blade of grass to slice them off?

Like MrMiyagi said, no copy needed, just the visual. Although "Flexible Fabric" is displayed on the Band-Aid box. Still an incredible visual.

Dzsoi's picture 4985 pencils

There is no copy here, just a packshot. And if 'flexible fabric' wasn't on the packshot, I would have written at least the word 'Flexible' on the print...you know... just for the 99,9 % of the population. Unless it would be a scam submitted to an award show.
Very nice ad by the way.

outsmart me, if you can

Guest's picture

As far as i know even bullets cant hurt the Hulk... so from where he got the knife which cut his finger..... : -0

mnbvcxz's picture 7 pencils

I think the ad means: a flexible fabric band -aid was raped around the finger when he was normal human, when he transformed into a giant creature
the band-aid didn't fall, it stayed attached because of its flexible fabric.

Prime83's picture 503 pencils

Do not know if the mothers who buy the product you will understand the ad, but for everyone else is very good.

withouts's picture 38 pencils

WTF?!

What is fresh and new crap?

Using cartoon characters to sell products is a very old school approach... Spider Man was used for anti-insect product and many child products and sport events, BatMan is used for sunglasses, motorbikes and sunblocks, Superman was used over and over for many categories... etc. Even Hulk himself (which is a character from the 70's) was used for many products like child nutrition, body building books, safety awareness... and that is only what I can recall without search.

Besides, this idea MAY LEAVE AN EXACT REVERSE EFFECT because Hulk does not need band for his wounds.
Why should I use Band-Aid if I am Hulk?
If it meant to say 'you're gonna be like Hulk using this product', the visual absolutely contradict this claim: 'using it is useless as you're gonna heal anyways being Hulk'.

Nevertheless, vice art direction and 3D work.

Dzsoi's picture 4985 pencils

Dude, you just have to understand the idea, an you won't come up with all your made-up problems.
Man -> Hulk. Hulk's finger is thicker than man's finger. So when you put a plaster on the man's finger, it has to be very flexible and sticky
to stay there when he turns into Hulk. It has nothing to do with Hulk being invulnerable (is he??) or being green or stinky or whatever.
Using a cartoon character is not an idea that can be old or over-used. The way you use it what matters, the way you link one of his/her property to your product. All of your examples were million miles away considering the concept behind them.

withouts's picture 38 pencils

Probably this is way you sold it to the client if there is any.

This is a brand for Johnson n Johnson, totally American. I don't know why they should use JWT Third World for their adhesive bandages. It seems that FP7 shame wasn't sufficient lesson for scammers in the ME to grow wiser.

Yes Hulk is invulnerable, which makes the whole bandage useless. Move your thing and watch the movie.

If it's about stretching and flexibility, Hulk doesn't stand mainly for that. Using a ballon or your butt would sell it better.

Recap, all the deja-vu examples I gave are clearly correspondent and quite original to this, as such nothing is fresh here.

J Designer's picture 2420 pencils

lol - I really dont think you understand the idea 'Withouts'. If you dont know the Hulk then you wont understand this.

LeeMoh's picture 406 pencils

Dzsoi and J Designer,

Though both of you have a point about stretching skin but Hulk image doesn't trigger in mind flexibility as first perception. When I see his hand in a visual I only think about power and invulnerability. So 'withouts' has a point.
I also agree about the scam. This ad doesn't seem to be genuine.

easy... It the shame...

"Bright ideas bring better results"

devonj's picture 4 pencils

In a simple but clever manner it demonstrates the products main point/benefit; that it stretches and is flexible when applied to a wound therefore doing its job, no matter how flexible or active you might be, or where you might go with it on. Simply brilliant. Good work. i wonder how many ideas were thrown out before this one popped up and how long it took the art director to craft it?

shaun1800's picture 274 pencils

I really like the ad, however using the Hulk to illustrate flexibility has been done before

musleo123's picture 7 pencils

only problem is the target audience have to know who the hulk is, probably not for an older audience

LeeMoh's picture 406 pencils

Actually IT IS for the older audience. Hulk as a character was created in 1962.
