Who cares its funny.

Hahahaha, I LOVE this campaign.

No fan
I find this announcement not very saleswoman.

i don't get it, is it some canadian joke? is the sheep urban because it has that comb thing? like... peasants don't comb their hair or what?

If you don't know much about hip hop, you probably won't get it. All of the elements they added to the animals are cliches of the rap/hip hop style, thus tying in the "urban" idea. I think it will totally work for the gen y'ers.

Because car ads that don't show the car have such a long, excellent track record. Look how well it worked for the Infiniti Q45.

the art direction is "ok" at best and concept is horrible and the copywriting is vanilla (bland).
all in all 4 out of 10.

ok, the execution is poor but i still find this really funny. i think it appeals to the target audience or/and anyone with a hiphop background.

Sorry Jonaskys but WHO EXACTLY IS THE TARGET AUDIENCE OF THIS AD???
Obviously I'm not but I would like to find out who it was aimed at...
Thanks for explanation!
L.

hahahahaa

I think the ad was well done. Though the use of stereotypical hip-hop themes is kinda getting tired, I think the use here was eye-catching and spot on.
