i wish i had a big fat beer client to work on stuff for. you can just go on autopilot. to follow up on this one, i'd have the ocean emptied and refilled with ice and bud and have a great party. you will all be invited.

i would pay a few hundred people to run around and sing a stupid song about how much money we had at our disposal. done before? sad.

sorry to say that once again, but this ad had already been done before. The idea belong to Pommery Champaign, a campaign made by DDB Paris in 1998 !!! You can see it on Cannes Archive or very soon on www.joelapompe.net

Going thru joelapompe.net, the FedEx/DHL one is a shocker!
How do you shamelessly copy an ad like that!

That's the trouble with generic 'gag' ideas.
Have you guys seen Australian 'Tongue', 'Catapaults' and 'Big Ad' beers ads?

nice twist. but this concept fits more to "It's only be Heineken".

Submitted by Another People on Tue, 2007-03-06 00:48.

It was originally done on Cheech & Chong's Nice Dreams in the early 80s I believe - I remember a scene where a biker takes a bottle of beer from a fish tank.

a simple comparison:
golden fishes are stupid, they eat alot and they die fast. is this the personality of the TM too? i don't think so.. i don't like it.
